Chapter 549: Her Master Deceives the Child

Shu Yu looked at the child and squinted her eyes slightly. Then she waved at him and smiled, "Are you Little Stone? Can I ask you a few questions?"

She had heard the family calling the child by that name earlier.

Indeed, Little Stone hesitated for a moment and then ran inside, saying, "Sister, what questions do you have?"

Meng Yunzheng was also surprised and returned to the bedside, his questioning gaze on Shu Yu.

Shu Yu, on the other hand, looked at the amulet hanging around Little Stone's neck. From a distance, she had only gotten a general idea, but now that Little Stone stood in front of her, she confirmed that she hadn't been mistaken.

She looked up and asked in a very gentle tone, "Little Stone, can you tell me who gave you this amulet?"

Little Stone lowered his head and noticed that his amulet had slipped out from his clothes.

He quickly reached out and carefully tucked it back into his collar.

However, he hesitated when faced with Shu Yu's question, seeming unwilling to say much.

Meng Yunzheng whispered, "What's wrong?"

Shu Yu glanced at Little Stone and whispered back, "This is the amulet from Dongqing Temple."

"Hmm?" Meng Yunzheng had a different impression of the amulet from Dongqing Temple.

Shu Yu realized her mistake and immediately corrected herself, "It's not exactly from Dongqing Temple, but rather from the master of Dongqing Temple."

The master of Dongqing Temple had a habit of hanging a bead on the amulet. This bead was different from regular beads; it was shaped like a gourd, making it easily recognizable.

"So, what you mean is..." Meng Yunzheng raised his head abruptly. So the master of Dongqing Temple did come to the southwest, and she even visited this village?

Shu Yu wasn't certain yet, so she looked at Little Stone with a more gentle attitude and said, "Little Stone, can you tell me if the person who gave you the amulet is a nun? She's about this tall, slightly thin, with a mole on the back of her left cheek, and a kind and gentle expression. She also carries a bamboo flute around her waist?"

As she described, Little Stone's eyes widened in astonishment, round and full of surprise.

"Sister, how did you know?"

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Because I once had the same amulet given to me by that nun."

Little Stone immediately became excited. "So Sister, like me, has received the blessings of a divine immortal."

Shu Yu, "..."

The blessings of a divine immortal? How did her master manage to deceive such an innocent child?

She chuckled and said, "Yes, that's right. Can you tell me when your master gave you this... blessing?"

Perhaps due to having a similar experience as Shu Yu, Little Stone became less guarded and even began to speak enthusiastically. "It was two months ago when I wasn't feeling well. I used to get sick all the time. Those bad people even said I wouldn't live for many years. Especially two months ago, I couldn't even get out of bed. My father was about to take me to see a doctor when the fairy nun came."

Shu Yu sighed. Her master was truly amazing, having achieved the status of a fairy nun.

"The fairy nun gave me medicine to drink, and I felt much better. She stayed here for several days, and each day I got better. Before leaving, the fairy nun gave me this amulet. In these two months, I haven't been sick again."

Little Stone held the master of Dongqing Temple in high regard, his small head slightly tilted, displaying great devotion.
