Fu Hua understood this herself, so she did not take it seriously, since she did not consider herself a Taoist either. Still, her abilities and powers did lean toward Taoism, so she counted as half a Taoist!
However...
"Wait, Taoist priest!"
Fu Hua did not think anyone truly regarded her as a Taoist, so when she heard someone calling for a Taoist priest, she did not assume it was directed at her and kept walking. But the person behind her ran directly in front of Fu Hua and stopped her.
"Do you need something?"
Fu Hua stopped and looked at the old steward before her.
"..."
The old steward froze the instant he saw Fu Hua's face, even forgetting to speak. He had known from her back that she was a female Taoist priest, and that was nothing unusual... Taoism was extremely famous and popular in the Tang Dynasty at this time. He Xiangu, one of the Eight Immortals, had countless believers. Later, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had even ordered his own daughter-in-law, Yang Yuhuan, to become a female Taoist priest so she could divorce his son, the Prince of Shou. After some time had passed, he personally made Yang Yuhuan his Noble Consort.
A female Taoist priest was nothing strange, but the old steward had never expected that this female Taoist priest he had called out to on a whim would be so breathtakingly beautiful, like an immortal maiden from the heavens.
He had even forgotten what he meant to say.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Seeing that the old steward who had suddenly stopped her was not saying anything, Fu Hua prepared to walk around him and continue on her way.
"My apologies, Taoist priest, please wait! It's like this—I am the steward of Lu Manor.
