NOVPUBYong Gui sized up Tao Hua, as if something had just occurred to him.
“Have you seen a young girl? She wore a red dress with a string of bells around her waist.”
Yong Gui added, “She should have arrived within the last few days.”
Tao Hua paused in surprise, “So, you’re a monk waiting for a girl?”
Yong Gui frowned, and Shen Roujia gave Tao Hua a playful punch. “What are you saying? He’s asking you seriously.”
Tao Hua pretended to ponder, rubbing his chin. “I’m in the back hall all day. Where would I have the time to notice such things?”
Yong Gui’s expression dimmed. “In that case, I won’t wait any longer. If she does come, please tell her that the mountain flowers have bloomed.”
With that, Yong Gui turned and left.
Shen Roujia was about to chase after him, but Tao Hua quickly grabbed her.
“Don’t bother. He won’t find her.”
Shen Roujia shifted her gaze from the distance to Tao Hua, her expression a mix of doubt and disbelief. “What? Do you know that girl?”
Tao Hua pressed his lips tightly together. “Master, there are too many ears here. It’s better if we talk back at the pavilion.”
Tao Hua had overheard everything when Yong Gui was speaking with Shen Roujia.
That girl, A’Yue, wasn’t just anyone. She was a member of the Glamourous Pavilion.
However, she only came by occasionally to make some money. Most of the time, she was hard to find.
But Tao Hua knew one thing.
This girl named A’Yue wasn’t an orphan without family, but the young leader of the Gu Clan, Wu Yue.
Shen Roujia’s eyes widened. “Did you intentionally hide this from the young monk?”
Tao Hua shook his head repeatedly. “If I hadn’t overheard just now, I wouldn’t have thought that the person he was waiting for was actually Wu Yue.”
