Once they reached the outskirts of Chengdu, Verdant Green Maiden was ready to part ways with Su Xun.
"Lady Shao Dian, where will you go?"
Su Xun asked.
Verdant Green Maiden replied, "The Tai Ping Daoist temple on Shu Han Crane Call Mountain! Chancellor Su, if you wish to visit, you had best come within the next two months. After that, even I don't know where I'll go. My old ox doesn't like staying in one place too long."
Old ox?
Su Xun froze.
He turned to look at the ox following behind Verdant Green Maiden.
So this ox belonged to Verdant Green Maiden?
"Why is there an ox following you, Lady Shao Dian?"
At this question, Verdant Green Maiden gave him a peculiar look. "You only noticed now?"
"No..."
"I simply hadn't expected the ox to belong to you, Lady Shao Dian."
Of course Su Xun had noticed the ox following them. He simply hadn't imagined it had anything to do with their party.
Now that he thought about it, the ox did seem to obey Verdant Green Maiden's directions, so...
Verdant Green Maiden really kept an ox?
And one so perceptive, at that?
Just what was her background?
With these thoughts in mind, Su Xun bowed to Verdant Green Maiden again. "I will remember what you said, Lady Shao Dian. Should the opportunity arise, I will bring my wife to visit. So... I am still quite curious. Could you be a Daoist priestess, Lady Shao Dian?"
"Yes."
Verdant Green Maiden did not deny it.
Su Xun felt as though everything had suddenly fallen into place.
Then it was no wonder. No wonder at all.
A Daoist priestess ought to be so free-spirited.
His Majesty of the Great Song currently favored the Daoist sect, and Daoists were plentiful throughout
