Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Go Find Someone Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Go Find Someone It’s already New Year’s Eve, these two should have returned by now.

Who would have expected to see Wang Changdong instead? Shu Yu was taken aback for a moment.

“Steward Wang?” she hurriedly stepped aside to let him in, “Why have you come? Has something happened?”

“No, no, oh, not exactly. I’ve got something for you. Here, take this.”

Wang Changdong pulled a pouch from his sleeve and handed it to Shu Yu.

“What’s this?” Shu Yu pinched it and felt as though there was a piece of paper inside.

Could it be silver notes?

Hmm, it could be. Could Wang Changdong have come especially to give her some money for her welfare during the New Year?

She had optimistic thoughts, but it was clear she was overthinking.

After drinking a sip of hot water brought by the old lady and letting out a satisfied sigh, Wang Changdong spoke up immediately, “I don’t know what’s inside either. Just a short while ago, a Daoist nun came to Righteous Dao Village to inquire about you. Upon learning that you weren’t in the village, she asked me to pass this on to you.”

A Daoist nun??

Shu Yu’s expression changed dramatically, becoming anxious in an instant, “The Daoist nun you mentioned, is she in her forties, compassionate-looking, with a bamboo flute hanging at her waist?”

“Ah? Yes, yes, indeed there was a bamboo flute. She said she’s an old acquaintance of yours, Lady Lu, truly someone you know?”

Shu Yu was a bit excited, “Yes, she is my master.”

She really did come; their guesses were not wrong. She truly came to the southwest and found her way to Righteous Dao Village.

But why did she have to come today, of all days? They’ve just missed each other.

“Where is my master now?”

Wang Changdong shook his head, “She has left, I do not know where she went.”

He recounted to her what the Dongqing Temple master had said.

Shu Yu frowned, what does ‘no need to force a meeting’ mean? She came all this way, just missing by a little. Isn’t it easy to want to meet? What’s wrong with waiting a bit longer?

Shu Yu went straight to the shed, unhitched the mule, and led it out the gate.

“Grandmother, my master should be around Heichang County, I’ll go find her. If I do, I’ll bring her back for the New Year’s dinner.”

Of course, the old lady had no objections, as the Dongqing Temple master was Yu’s master and a benefactor to their family. It was only right to invite her in as a guest on New Year’s Eve, given she was traveling about.

So she did not stop her and simply passed a cloak and curtain hat to Shu Yu, “Off you go, be careful and stay warm.”

Shu Yu took them, then addressed Wang Changdong, who was still sitting in the living room, “Brother Wang, thank you for coming to tell me. I have to go find someone now. If there’s anything, we’ll talk later.”

As her voice fell, she was no longer in sight.

Wang Changdong had not expected her to care so much for the Daoist nun, otherwise, he would have done everything in his power to make her stay.

With Shu Yu gone, he found no more reason to be there, so he set down the teacup and took his leave.

The old lady was grateful he came to deliver the message, stuffing some treats and candies for him to take back with him.

Wang Changdong hurriedly thanked her and left.

Shu Yu rode the mule, rushing toward Righteous Dao Village at top speed.

According to Wang Changdong, the master had left less than an hour ago. Without a mount, and on foot, she couldn’t have gone far, probably only to a few villages nearby Righteous Dao Village at most.

Yet, after a long search, Shu Yu found no one. As the sky gradually darkened, she could only ride the mule back to the city in irritation.
