This was a world of deity cultivating, and looking at how big the world is, it wouldn’t be surprising if deities do exist in this world. However, if Tang Ning followed this old monk to the land of the deities, she might not be able to protect herself and could be killed by more powerful beings.

Therefore, she would not step into the realm of the deities before she could protect herself.

On the other hand, she must return to the Tang Family residence. Even if she couldn’t appear before them, she had to find a way to warn the father of the previous owner of this body.

However, she had never thought of returning to the Tang Family. After all, she was not the original owner of this body. Remembering those memories in her brain was more like watching a movie to her. Even if she shared the same sentiments as the original owner, it would still be an awkward feeling for her to blend into the Tang Family and call Tang Xiao as her father.

That being said, she will definitely take revenge on behalf of the original owner of this body. If the Tang Family ever faced any trouble, then as long as she was able, she would protect the Tang Family and Tang Xiao.

“If you don’t want to follow me, then where will you go? Your body belongs to your parents. So how can a little girl like you, who has shaved her head bald, return to the family? How would others think of you?”

The old monk glared at her and continued. “Buddhism values its rules and regulations greatly. If anyone in this world knew that a little girl like you pretended to be a temple disciple, wouldn’t it taint the clean reputation of Buddhism?”

Listening to his words, Tang Ning looked at the old monk and said, “First, I am not bound by the rules since I have not become a monk. Second, I am not a real nun. I only shaved my head to protect myself. So how have I become a temple disciple like you?”

As she was speaking, she looked at the wine gourd at his waist and laughed. “Furthermore, looking at how you indulge in meat and wine, how would a monk like you know anything about the strict rules of Buddhism?”

The old monk was at a loss of words as he failed to rebut her, so he could only stare at her. After a few seconds, he sighed and said, “Fine, where do you want to go next? I will follow you.”

He paused for a moment when he saw a frown appear on her gorgeous face, he continued. “With your looks, everyone would think that you are a monk even if you kept silent. Since you are still in a monk’s appearance, you shouldn’t let anyone know that you are a girl.”

Tang Ning smiled as she heard what the old monk said and replied, “This is not a problem.”

Tang Ning had already felt convenient while traveling in this appearance, therefore she naturally wouldn’t want to change back into a skirt. Not to mention, if she wore a skirt along with this bald head? This scene would be so “beautiful,” she wouldn’t dare imagine…

“What good things did you leave me with? Where is it?” Tang Ning looked at the old monk and asked. She was starving after not eating anything for the whole day.

“It’s on the table outside.” The old monk chuckled and went out first. After coming out, he removed the barrier that was encompassing the premise.

Tang Ning followed after, and her gaze shifted when she saw the scene before her.

This old monk had a mysterious background and an unfathomable cultivation. Although Tang Ning knew that he meant no harm, she still didn’t know what he was after? Looking at how things were going right now, it looked like the old monk wanted to follow her?

Concealing her feelings, she sat beside the table. She could smell a subtle fragrance of meat, and her stomach could not help but grumble.

“Hehe, aren’t you hungry? Eat, eat! All these are left for you.” The old monk pushed something wrapped with lotus leaves towards her, his expressions clearly urging her to help herself to the food.

Tang Ning unwrapped the lotus leaves, and the corners of her lips could not help but twitch.
