Chapter 983 is here? Do you want to be food? (18)
Miao Xiaotao pouted somewhat reluctantly, but still obediently nodded. Then, like a cute little kitten, she took her short legs and walked up to Shuying.
Miao Xiaotao stretched out her chubby little hand and tightly grasped Shuying's big hand, seemingly gesturing for Shuying to take her away from Xingyu's courtyard. Upon seeing this, Shuying hesitated, glancing at Xingyu and then at Weishengwang, as if seeking their opinions.
Just then, Wei Shengwang said softly, "It's alright." Hearing this, Shuying, having received permission, finally felt relieved and left Xingyu's courtyard with Miao Xiaotao.
The courtyard suddenly fell silent, leaving only Xingyu and Weishengwang. A gentle breeze swept by, bringing a touch of coolness and ruffling Xingyu's hair, making her look somewhat languid.
Suddenly, a clear child's voice came from outside the courtyard. In the distance, Xingyu and Weishengwang could vaguely hear Miao Xiaotao asking Shuying with curiosity, "Do you like my sister?"
Wei Shengwang couldn't help but find it a little funny. He originally thought that what Miao Xiaotao said at the dinner table was taught by her mother and was meant to test him.
However, it now seems that this was just Miao Xiaotao's naivety; she would probably ask the same question to any strange man she met.
"Alright, get to the point, I'm going to sleep." Xingyu stood at the doorway and spoke without any politeness. Her voice was icy cold and devoid of any emotion, as if she didn't care at all about Wei Shengwang's status as Prime Minister.
Although Wei Shengwang felt slightly displeased, he could only forcefully suppress his dissatisfaction when he thought that he needed someone's help at the moment.
He composed himself, then looked at Xingyu before him and said slowly, "Master Miao, according to your father, you've only been at the Taoist temple for a few months?"
"Oh?" Xingyu raised her beautiful eyes slightly, looking at Wei Shengwang with a half-smile. "What, shouldn't you have investigated my background before deciding to ask me for help?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Shengwang was taken aback. He had indeed investigated her background, but what he had seen differed somewhat from what her father had said.
He had witnessed firsthand her ability to swiftly deal with those terrifying monsters, and the power of the talismans she drew was far beyond what ordinary people could possess. These were abilities that were definitely not something someone who had only spent a few months in a Taoist temple could have.
Keep in mind that she is not even twelve years old yet, and she has only been at Yun Shen Temple for less than a year. How could someone so young possess such profound Taoist and medical skills?
Wei Shengwang thought about it more and more and felt that there must be some inside story. Could it be that she had other experts guiding her behind the scenes?
Thinking of this, Wei Shengwang decided to stop beating around the bush and asked directly, "May I ask, Daoist Miao, who is your master?"
Xingyu seemed uninterested in his question. She merely smiled faintly and said softly, "Instead of wasting your time testing me here, you'd better hurry back to Kyoto. If you delay any longer, you might not only be unable to return to Kyoto, but you'll also be the only so-called 'loyal subject' left in the entire city."
Upon hearing this, Wei Shengwang's heart tightened. He wanted to ask her more questions, but she had already turned around, opened the door, and stepped into the room.
Immediately afterwards, with a loud "bang," the door was slammed shut by her, effectively shutting Wei Shengwang out of the room.
Seeing this, Wei Shengwang shook his head helplessly, knowing that he could not get any more information from her. He could only sigh, turn around and leave.
