Shui Rou saw the doubt in Xiaoxiao's eyes. She gestured for the girl to take the cloth and slowly opened the rolled up picture scroll.

This is a picture of a beauty. Simple makeup, simple background, simple color." However, that familiar face did make Xiao Budian feel that it wasn't simple.

Ye Zichen stared at the person on the painting in a daze for a long while, but was unable to recover from the shock. Because that face reminded her of someone, a woman who had a lot to do with her.

"Shui Rou doesn't think that those shallow things are suitable for Young Master Mi. After thinking about it, she decided to add the painting she had stored for a long time. I wonder if you like it?" Shui Rou stared fixedly at the expression on her tiny face. Her slender fingers lingered on the picture scroll as she continued to draw full circles.

Unregretfully, he also saw that painting and felt that the woman in the painting was very familiar. Looking at that peerlessly beautiful face, he searched his mind for that familiar face.

"Master …" "Master …" Wang-liang touched his absent-minded master with his hand.

Xiaoxiao came back to her senses, smiled stiffly and replied, "I like it, I like it!"

After pausing for a moment, he saw her continue to ask, "The woman in those words is really beautiful, just like a fairy. Has this lady seen this person before?"

Shui Rou covered her mouth and replied with a faint smile, "I've thought of it. As long as I've seen this woman in the painting, I would dream of having such a face. That day, when Shui Rou's sisters saw the painting, they were extremely envious and fought over it. Shui Rou thinks that the person who should appreciate your words is none other than Young Master Mi. "

"Is that so? I am deeply honored. "With this face, both men and women will be satisfied for the rest of their lives." Xiaoxiao agreed. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "May I ask Miss, do you know who the lady in the painting is?"

Shui Rou shook her head and said softly, "This woman's beauty is extraordinary. She has a special aura around her."

Xiaoxiao naturally knew who the woman on the painting was, but she wanted to know the reason why Shui Rou had brought the painting here today.

If he really wanted to find the jade pendant, then what was this woman's identity?

Could it be Ran Er's henchmen?

No, Pingfei had once said that with a jade pendant on him, it would be difficult for him to find it no matter how high his magic power was.

"Has Young Master Mi seen the woman in the painting before?" Shui Rou looked at the painting, then carefully examined it once more, her gaze landing on that somewhat similar face.

"Ugh …"

Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before hurriedly defending herself, "Such a beautiful painting, I am sure only those who are fated to meet it will be able to. If it wasn't for the fact that we were fated to meet Miss Shui Rou today, we might not have the honor in this life. "

"Young Master is getting serious, it's just a coincidence that Shui Rou bought this painting from a grandmaster. She thought the woman on it was pretty, so she hid it." Shui Rou stretched out her hand to touch the face on the painting, unable to hide the sadness in her eyes.

Xiaoxiao smiled gently. Then, she changed the way she asked, "Can you tell me who the woman is?"

Shui Rou pretended to be deep in thought for a while before reacting, "Two years ago, a friend saw this painting and told me that it was the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Maiden Mountain who later became the concubine of the Azure Dragon Kingdom's monarch. "Unfortunately, she had a beautiful life, and within two years of marrying the king, she had lost her life.

"Wah!" Saintess? No wonder she looked so noble? Thank you, Miss Shui Rou, for letting me see the Holy Maiden's face. Xiaoxiao pretended to be surprised, took the painting and excitedly said, "I don't regret Master, with this kind of painting hanging on top of my head, everything will definitely go smoothly, won't it?"

Not regretting that he did not say anything, he just smiled and did a "Amitabha" gesture, attentively looking at the woman in the painting.

"Good!" "Then I'll hang the painting in the main hall." She carefully put away the scroll, half-believing and half-doubting Shui Rou's reply.

"It's good that Young Master likes it!" There was still a trace of gentleness on Shui Rou's face as she lowered her head, stealthily casting a glance without regret before she quickened her pace towards the door.

Just as Shui Rou passed by him again, he smelled a strange scent. Her relaxed brows creased as she shouted, "Young master, please hold your steps!"

He stopped and instructed Wang Cai, "Wang Cai, bring the girl in first. I have something to say to the Grand Master."

Turning to Shui Rou, she said apologetically, "Miss Shui Rou, I have been slow. Please forgive me!"

Shui Rou smiled gently and bowed slightly towards the direction she did not regret. Wang Cai led the way and led the way into the house.

Outside the door, only Xiaoxiao was left with no regrets.

Looking at the small gaze, her face reddened without a trace of regret. Not only that, she stuttered, "Young..." Young master, please hold on … For now... Don't hang this picture. "

"Why?" Little Jun asked suspiciously, thinking, "Could it be that this monk also knows the 'inner meaning' of this painting?"

Unregrettably, he could only turn around, and only then could he temporarily calm down to such a small feeling. Looking up at the sky, he said very frankly, "A few years ago I saw an identical painting in the hands of a few pilgrims. That person said that the woman on it was his wife. However, that girl had been missing for many years and he still hadn't been able to find her. Perhaps she was no longer in this world. However, the man still persisted in his search. "

"Where is the man? Where is it? " Xiaoxiao appeared abnormally agitated. She swayed her shoulders without caring about her status, and could not wait to see who that man was.

That painting must have been drawn by that man. Then in this world, other than the painting of the Imperial Palace, the only painting could only be this one. That man was the person that his mother had said he was, the person that a woman would not dare to meet even if she wanted to.

A woman might not have a reputation that could last forever, but she could at least leave behind some memories for her family. If the woman in the painting was his mother, then this man was his father. Therefore, she had to find that man and ask him about it.

He only remembered seeing that man once. It was because the woman on the painting was too attractive, so he asked her that question.

A little disappointed sigh, but then again, that man must have been alive a few years ago. Trying to make her mood better, she forced a smile. "So, have you ever seen that man again?"

"I haven't seen him after that time. I will never forget the look in that man's eyes when he was yearning for a woman. It was so persistent." Unregrettably, his mind had returned to that scene once again. That gloomy and aged face, he told himself that he had been searching for that woman for twenty years, waiting for that woman for twenty years.

Lowering his head, he muttered to himself, "I asked that man why he insisted? The man said it was because he loved her; and I asked the woman if she had changed her mind. The man said that the feelings of the sea and the rocks were everlasting; then he asked why he was so sure. Men say that because they are telepathically connected, they know that the other person's love will not change. "

The answer was repeated in his mind for several years. In the past, he had run away because of betrayal. At that time, he was only twenty years old. In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. The infatuated man of the past had now become a monk with profound cultivation.

She looked at the sadness in her eyes and remembered that Pingfei's story about Luo Susu and that man. She murmured emotionally: "A man can wait for a woman for more than 20 years, this kind of feeling can't be replaced. Her pain is worth it."

"Young Master knows them?" He did not regret hearing the small mumble.

"No …" "I don't know him!" Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand. When she saw the doubt in Wu Zhangkong's eyes, she somewhat guiltily lowered her head.

After a long while, she stabilized her emotions and slowly said, "I only heard a friend tell a similar story. It was a little sad! If Master does not regret meeting that man again, remember to tell me. I also really want to meet him. "

"Hm!" The Young Master remembers that before he does anything, don't hang this painting up for the time being. If the woman in the painting is truly the Holy Maiden of the legends, then it might affect the speed at which those girls transcend. " He didn't regret looking seriously at Xiaoxiao, hoping that she would believe him.

Xiaoxiao nodded confidently, then repeated, "If you see that man again, you must introduce him to me."

"Alright!" He didn't know why he agreed so readily.

After giving him a small, indescribable smile, he quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"He's gone. He's gone. He's gone. Everything was just like a dream." Xiaoxiao muttered to herself as she watched him leave.

Behind her, Wang Cai hurriedly ran out and said, "Mistress, Lady Shui Rou has been waiting for a long time in the main hall."

Heavens!

He had almost forgotten that there was something even more difficult to deal with. He didn't know what this painting of hers was trying to find out. However, she was very sure that the person who had come was not friendly. Looking at the scroll in her hand, she thoughtfully followed Wang Cai into the courtyard.

At this moment, Shui Rou had finished her third cup of tea and was anxiously looking in the direction of the yard's entrance, waiting for her small appearance.

"Pardon me, but I've kept you waiting for a long time." After entering through the small door, he first cupped his hands in apology.

"Young master, there's no need to be so polite. Shui Rou should have disturbed you." Shui Rou stood up and looked at Xiaoxiao, a puzzled expression on her face.

"Is the lady looking at Master?" Xiaoxiao turned her head in the direction of Shui Rou's gaze.

"Ugh …" If not for the fact that Master Wu Hui was wearing those clothes, it would be hard for them to believe that he was someone that had escaped into the void. " Shui Rou's soul returned to her body, her mouth once again filled with praise.

"That's right!" I think so too, but, it's not bad to be a master in cultivation. " Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, and inadvertently saw fear in Shui Rou's eyes.

Shui Rou nodded, feigning curiosity as she spoke again, "Where did Young Master go to invite this esteemed monk?"

"Lady, this Master Everlasting is staying at the Five Blessed Temple that is not too far away from here. I heard that his reputation is very great, and even the opening of a large shop in the city requires us to count the days with him. Huang Shan, who was at the side, first responded to Shui Rou with a small mouth, then smilingly poured another cup of tea for her.

"Young master, this is …" Shui Rou asked again, puzzled.

"Young master wants to surpass …" Huang Shan quickly opened his mouth, but when he saw that Wang Cai was winking at him, he quickly shut his mouth and stepped aside.
