Chapter 2352: Chapter 2331: Entrusting the Orphan to Miao Kong Nunnery

After Tao Tao finished crying and watching, Lin Feng gestured to Tao Tao to come over to his side, knowing that her grandfather had entrusted her to him, so Tao Tao didn’t resist and walked to Lin Feng’s side.

"How did you find me, can you tell me now?" Lin Feng looked at Tao Tao and asked curiously.

"Grandpa did a divination and said that someone he’s waiting for would appear at the inn these days, that solitary person. He told me to look every day, and I’ve been looking for several days. I only met you today!" Although Tao Tao’s eyes were red, she still answered Lin Feng. She couldn’t avoid this matter; since she was destined to follow Lin Feng in the future, she naturally wouldn’t hide anything from him.

Hearing this, Lin Feng understood what was happening. He recalled Tao Tao’s previous words at the inn, and it made him even more certain of one thing: Geomancer Qianjue’s divination skills were unparalleled, but it was precisely because of this that he revealed too many secrets and suffered heavenly retribution. He couldn’t help but sigh at the whims of fate; with Geomancer Qianjue’s abilities, if he hadn’t revealed secrets, he probably would have already become a true powerhouse.

But looking at Tao Tao in front of him, crying like a tearful doll, Lin Feng still felt that it was really inconvenient for him, as a grown man, to take care of Tao Tao. Moreover, his current situation wasn’t great either. He could transform at will to escape other’s pursuit, but if he brought Tao Tao along, he would face endless waves of pursuit. Maybe before leaving the vicinity of Ning Wangu, he would already be killed.

After seriously weighing this in his heart, he immediately sent Tangyuan to the Ye Family to invite Qianye Ancestor. If there was someone he could trust to take care of her, it would be Qianye Ancestor.

At this moment, Tao Tao was still staring blankly at the scene of Geomancer Qianjue, with tears falling uncontrollably from her eyes, extremely saddened...

Not long after, under Tao Tao’s guidance, Qianye Ancestor arrived. Upon seeing Lin Feng, Qianye Ancestor quickly approached and said, "Taoist Friend Lin, what do you need from me?"

At this moment, Qianye Ancestor was almost bulging his eyes at Lin Feng. If Tangyuan hadn’t come to him, and Tangyuan being Lin Feng’s spirit beast, he wouldn’t dare believe that the burly man in front of him was Lin Feng. These disguise techniques were truly terrifying; if Lin Feng wanted to impersonate someone, no one could recognize him.

But these matters, he wouldn’t mention. Now that he’s tied the Ye Family to Lin Feng, he wouldn’t reveal any of Lin Feng’s secrets, he only wished for the Ye Family to thrive; as for other matters, he didn’t want to deal with them.

"This is my friend’s granddaughter, can you look after her for a while?" Lin Feng asked Qianye Ancestor calmly.

Upon hearing this, Qianye Ancestor understood why Lin Feng sought him out. He glanced at the newly built grave, then looked at Tao Tao, thought for a moment, and finally spoke: "Taoist Friend Lin, it’s not that this young girl can’t stay at my Ye Family, but I think it’s not the most suitable place. After all, there are too many people and too much gossip. I have an idea, though I’m not sure if I should mention it?"

"Please, feel free to speak!" Lin Feng responded directly.

"I have a friend currently residing on Qiliang Mountain in the northern part of Ning City. He built a Miao Kong Nunnery there, with the dharma name Miao Kong. I can send this girl there. With Miao Kong around, the girl’s safety will absolutely not be a concern." Qianye Ancestor expressed his idea, his tone a bit awkward. Actually, if not for Lin Feng, he wouldn’t divulge this matter to anyone. The relationship between him and Miao Kong was highly unusual, and no one knew about it.

Upon hearing Qianye Ancestor’s suggestion, Lin Feng looked at him, seeing his expression, he smiled faintly, already understanding the situation in his heart. So he nodded and said to Qianye Ancestor, "Then let Tao Tao temporarily stay with Miaokong the Abbot. It won’t take long before I come back to pick her up."

The reason for saying it won’t take long is that Lin Feng had his plans. Ning City was no longer of any use to him; he planned to leave after finishing up at the auction house and head to other cities. Staying around Ning City might attract the attention of those with intentions, and leaving with Tao Tao would prevent any further risks.

After he finished speaking, Lin Feng went over to Tao Tao, saying, "Tao Tao, follow Qianye Ancestor to Miaokong the Abbot for now. Once I’ve handled my affairs, I’ll take you away from here."

Hearing this, Tao Tao looked at Lin Feng with pitiful eyes. Seeing Lin Feng’s warm smile, she understood that he wasn’t abandoning her. So she didn’t object at this point and nodded with a single word of acknowledgment: "Mm!"

Actually, deep down, Tao Tao still didn’t understand why her grandfather entrusted her to Lin Feng. Although he had told her some things about Lin Feng, she always felt it was impossible, that Lin Feng could be a turning point for all Ascenders, which sounded too exaggerated. However, she wouldn’t oppose her grandfather’s arrangements. Since Lin Feng had arranged it this way, not wanting to cause him trouble, she decided to stay with Miaokong the Abbot for a while.

Seeing that Tao Tao agreed, Lin Feng patted her head, then took her by the hand, stood up, and told Qianye Ancestor, "Lead the way!"

The Ancestor Qianye heard this, his face showed even more embarrassment, but he still turned around to lead the way, although his expression was very unpleasant. To be honest, he really didn’t want to go to Miao Kong’s place, but for Tao Tao’s sake, he could only bite the bullet and lead the way now.

Tangyuan directly jumped onto Lin Feng’s shoulder, looking at the Ancestor Qianye leading the way in front, he questioned Lin Feng curiously, "Boss, why is he so troubled? Could it be that Miaokong the abbot is some kind of terrifying beast?"

"Not some terrifying beast, but to Ancestor Qianye, just a person he feels guilty towards." Lin Feng explained with a smile, and then stopped talking, just quietly following Tao Tao behind Ancestor Qianye.

Heading north all the way, they walked for more than two hours before reaching the halfway point of the mountain to Miao Kong Nunnery; the nunnery wasn’t big, just a few houses, but it had an exquisite simplicity. A plaque of Miao Kong Nunnery hung above the door, giving the place a special charm.

At the front of Miao Kong Nunnery, Ancestor Qianye hesitated slightly, approached the door, and knocked lightly. After a short while, the door opened, and a stunningly beautiful nun who looked about fifty appeared in everyone’s view. Seeing it was Ancestor Qianye, her face immediately darkened.

"Benefactor, I don’t know what business you have?" The beautiful nun’s face was icy cold, even though she had aged, there was an undeniable dignified presence about her, with a hint of anger seemingly contained within.

"Miaokong the abbot, I come here for a request, this is Taoist Friend Lin, hoping you can shelter this little girl for a while. It won’t be long, when Taoist Friend Lin finishes his matters, he will come to take the girl away." Ancestor Qianye requested boldly.

Miaokong, seeing that Ancestor Qianye was not here for her, her face softened a bit. She looked up at Tao Tao, and her eyes immediately shone; she moved to Tao Tao’s side and examined her carefully, as if Tao Tao was some kind of treasure!

Such a situation confused Lin Feng, Ancestor Qianye, and even Tangyuan, not understanding what it was about. Did Miaokong the abbot have some intention towards Tao Tao? As for Tao Tao, she was startled by the suddenly appearing nun, but knowing the nun wouldn’t harm her, felt very puzzled.

"Okay, this girl can follow me for now." After circling around Tao Tao, Miaokong nodded and agreed, but a trace of excitement flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Feng frowned slightly, not understanding Miaokong’s intention, so he prepared to ask, but before he could speak, Miaokong’s voice echoed in his mind.

"This child’s origins are extraordinary, benefactor keeping her here requires no worry."

After simply saying this brief sentence, Miaokong led Tao Tao into the nunnery, and the door closed.

"Ancestor Qianye, can you talk about the matter of Miaokong now?" Looking at Ancestor Qianye on the side, Lin Feng directly asked, now feeling that this Miaokong nun was no ordinary individual, being able to know Tao Tao’s origins puzzled Lin Feng greatly, and he wanted to know what was so extraordinary about Tao Tao.

Hearing Lin Feng’s question, Ancestor Qianye’s face immediately changed, stunned for quite a while, finally sighed helplessly, and began to speak: "Miaokong entered the monastic life actually because of me. When I was young, I came across injustice, saved Miaokong at that time, who was less than ten years old, not paying much attention myself. Ten years later, Miaokong suddenly reappeared, insisting on repaying the life-saving grace, wanting to become my concubine. You must know, by then I was near a hundred, and Miaokong was only twenty, how could I agree!"

"What I didn’t expect was, after refusal, Miaokong stood in front of my Ye Family’s gate for three days, then suddenly vanished, building this Miao Kong Nunnery here, entering monastic life. Whenever I think about it, my heart is filled with guilt; if it wasn’t for me, Miaokong wouldn’t have retreated to monastic life..."

Hearing Qianye’s words, Lin Feng felt strange, it seemed that Ancestor Qianye’s words had issues, Miaokong’s origins should not be so simple, definitely hiding some other matters. In the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, the lifespan of those in the Divine Origin Realm could reach nine thousand years, in such an age structure, the age difference of eighty years could be practically ignored. It seems Ancestor Qianye definitely hid something else!

His gaze moved to Ancestor Qianye like an eagle’s eye, causing Ancestor Qianye great discomfort, feeling flustered, but Ancestor Qianye didn’t understand Lin Feng’s meaning, he already said everything, did Lin Feng want to know more, the problem was he really couldn’t say more...

Lin Feng looked at Ancestor Qianye, seeing him remain silent, pondered briefly, and decided not to force. No matter what, he was going to take Tao Tao away from here eventually, staying at this Miao Kong Nunnery was just a brief visit, no need to pry into others’ privacy.

"Let’s part here then." Casually tossing out such words, Lin Feng’s figure moved, disappearing from the spot, leaving Ancestor Qianye alone staring at the place where Lin Feng vanished, in a daze.
