Chapter 2605: Master Liao Ran Will Be Delivering a Lecture

“Today Master Liao Ran will be delivering a lecture on Buddhism. I’ll try to persuade him into giving you a fortune-telling,” Mistress Yun said to Lu Mingxuan.

“Thank you, Mom!” exclaimed Lu Mingxuan joyfully.

If the reading from Master Liao Ran stated that she had an auspicious feature, it would open doors to abundant opportunities in the future.

However, receiving such readings from him was never easy since he didn’t dispense fortunes lightly.

It would be quite hard for Mistress Yun to persuade Master Liao Ran.

Ning Shu just continued eating.

The atmosphere at the dining table felt particularly tense.

After breakfast, a monk came to ask everyone to proceed to the Hall of Great Strength. Master Liao Ran was about to deliver his lecture on Buddhism.

The crowd of people made their way toward the Hall of Great Strength.

Upon entering the main hall, they found numerous cushions arranged. Those with higher status occupied seats in the front according to their positions.

Consequently, the Lu family ended up sitting quite far behind.

However, Lu Junning was arranged a seat in the front. This enraged Mistress Yun and Lu Mingxuan so much that they felt like exploding.

It truly emphasized how Mistress Yun’s status fell short.

Ning Shu sat behind Mistress Yun while gazing at Master Liao Ran who was in the front.

Master Liao Ran possessed snow-white eyebrows that drooped down to the corners of his mouth.

His face bore numerous wrinkles, yet he exuded an aura of kindness and tranquility devoid of arrogance or impatience.

He really resembled a great monk from an older generation.

Throughout Master Liao Ran’s lecture on Buddhism, people occasionally left their seats either to use the restroom or get water. However, they did so cautiously so as not to disrupt Master Liao Ran.

As Ning Shu listened to Master Liao Ran’s sermon, she also observed her surroundings.

Occasionally, her gaze would collide with Li Yu’s and he would flash her a charming smile.

Ning Shu: What are you looking at me for?

You’re still trying to start some yuri?

She withdrew her gaze emotionlessly.

Couldn’t he just focus properly on Master Liao Ran’s lecture? Show some respect for the elderly!

Ning Shu then noticed Lu Junning abruptly leaving the hall.

Meanwhile, Lu Mingxuan wore a satisfied smile on her face.

Observing these two individuals left Ning feeling utterly exhausted.

“This benefactor, someone outside is asking for you,” whispered a young novice monk who entered the temple where they were situated.

Inwardly, Ning Shu thought: It’s finally here.

Ning Shu respectfully bowed and left the Hall of Great Strength. She then saw the maid who usually served Lu Junning.

“Third Miss, my miss needs your help,” said the maid to Ning Shu.

Ning Shu’s heart turned cold as she inquired, “What happened to your miss?”

“Third Miss, please follow me,” replied the maid.

The maid led Ning Shu through a series of twists and turns before finally arriving at a room. “Third Miss, please go in.”

Ning Shu placed her hand on her sachet and asked, “Where is Second Sister?”

“She’s inside,” responded the servant girl.

Without hesitation, Ning Shu swiftly rendered the maid unconscious with a chop to her neck. She then dragged the unconscious maid into the room.

Upon entering, the strong smell of incense overwhelmed Ning Shu. The incense burner emitted copious amounts of smoke.

Ning Shun sneered; did they have no respect for Buddha, to engage in such activities here?

Holding her breath, Ning Shu removed the clothes from the unconscious maid and hid her under the bed before changing into those clothes.

Covering her nose, Ning Shu dutifully positioned herself outside the room as a guard.

After some time, she heard hurried footsteps approaching. It was Lu Junning.

“How did it go?” inquired Lu Junning.

Ning Shu mimicked the maid’s voice. “She’s inside.”
