Chapter 57: Suspicious Dao Guan

t a drag along The backyard can't let men enter at will, I think this child has to be sent to the front yard."Qin Luoyan was a little anxious, holding Yingsheng's hand tightly, and putting on a smilin..."Greetings, esteemed patrons. Is there anything I can assist you with" The nun who opened the door was about twenty years old and spoke in a gentle voice.

This gentle and young Taoist nun left Jin momentarily stunned before he came to his senses. "Oh, that's it," he said. "My younger sister's clothes were soaked by the rain. You see, there are all these bigwigs at the door, and my sister felt a little embarrassed. She thought maybe she could take shelter in the Taoist temple and, if possible, find some dry clothes. That would be best of all."

Fearing that the Daoist nun might refuse, Jinmu took out a silver note from his bosom and passed it over. "Of course, we can't take up space for free, consider this as my donation of incense money."

The nun's gentle expression vanished as soon as she heard his words, replaced by a hint of impatience. However, she glanced at the amount on the silver note and seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then, she turned her head towards Qin Luoyan, and the last trace of hesitation disappeared from her face.

"Well then, please come in, kind lady." the Daoist nun said gently.

Jin Mu hurriedly invited Qin Luo Yan into the Taoist temple. Qin Luo Yan was indeed cold, her lips were a little purple, so she didn't put on airs and went straight past Jin Mu into the Taoist temple.

Jinkemu was about to lead Yingsheng inside, but the young nun stopped them. "Wait a moment, two benefactors!"

"What" Kaneki's face darkened, his voice laced with displeasure.

“Both male donors are not allowed to enter. Please forgive us, donors. All of us in our Daoist temple are female Daoist nuns. In broad daylight, for male donors to enter the Daoist temple…” The young Daoist nun sighed helplessly.

Kinro hesitated for a moment before putting his foot down. He held onto WINGS' hand and stood at the door, "Well then, we'll wait here at the door. Please take good care of my sister, Dao Gu."

"That goes without saying." The Daoist nun took the silver ticket and responded.

Jin Mu Si was still a little uneasy, and instructed Qin Luo Yan again: "Go change into clean clothes first. If you're afraid, come find us at the door, I'll be guarding it all the time."

Before Qin Luo could speak, a nearby Daoist nun chuckled, "Brother, our place is a Daoist temple, not some den of wolves or tigers. Could this young lady possibly have disappeared from our temple"

"Forgive my brother's timidity, Daoist Nun. He's just a bit scared." Qin Luoyan chimed in playfully, then nodded towards Jin Mu in acknowledgment.

After closing the door, the Daoist nun led Qin Luoyan to the inner courtyard. According to the Daoist nun, they would reach her residence by passing through three more doors.

The deeper Qin Luoyan went, the more puzzled she became. It was daytime, yet there wasn't a single Taoist nun reading scriptures or cleaning within the Taoist temple.

Temples and Taoist temples, aren't these places the most particular about cleanliness and dustlessness

"This temple doesn't seem to have many people, does it" Qin Luoyan couldn't help but ask as she followed the Daoist nun.

"There are quite a few people here. Don't look at our Daoist temple being small, we also have about twenty sisters, but with this heavy rain, they should all be resting in the back courtyard." The little nun said as she walked inside, and after a short while, she arrived at a room. She pushed open the door and went in, then beckoned to Qin Luoyan, "There's an empty room here, you can come in and wait for a while, I'll go get you some clothes."

Qin Luoyan responded with a sound, entered the house and found a chair to sit down.

As the Daoist nun left the room, she walked deeper into the inner quarters. Before leaving, she said, “The wind and rain are quite heavy. I'll close your door for you to prevent rainwater from seeping in and getting things damp.”

"Thank you," Qin Luoyan said, sitting on the stool and rubbing her back. Her whole body was soaked from the rain, and after a while in the wind, she was really shivering with cold teeth chattering.

She rubbed her back for a while, then suddenly stopped, her mind flashed with an image. It was the scene of that little nun closing the door for her. The nun's hands were so white and tender, unlike those of a nun who had been doing things for a long time.

She was startled and hurriedly walked to the door. She yanked it open, and heard a rattling sound of chains coming from outside!

The door was indeed locked from the outside!

From the moment she entered the Taoist temple, she felt something was off. How could a Taoist nun be so blatantly money-hungry Looking back, she suspected there was something strange about the temple itself! Also, what Taoist nun would refer to her fellow nuns as "sisters"

"I'm such an idiot!" Qin Luoyan cursed in frustration, slapping her head repeatedly. It was raining, had her thinking process been frozen too

She wandered through the house for a while. It was sparsely furnished, not even a decent weapon to be found.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door. The sound indicated that there was more than one person coming.

She was shocked. In her panic, she saw a teacup in the corner. Without thinking, she threw the teacup to the ground. It shattered. She quickly picked up a shard of porcelain and hid it in her sleeve.

Outside the door, voices of women could be heard talking.

"You said that girl is very pretty"

"Yes, you'll see for yourself soon enough. She's prettier than any of the girls here. Just look at her figure—men wouldn't be able to resist her, and women would want to touch her too."

“If things go as you say, that would be best. Alas, who could have known today would bring such a demanding guest! Out of so many sisters, he didn't find a single one agreeable! And to add to it, his status is beyond our reach. With this pouring rain, he shows no intention of leaving. What am I supposed to do in the next half hour to find someone who will satisfy him If he's not pleased, who knows what he might do! He could very well flatten this place with a snap of his fingers!”

"Sister, don't worry about it. Once you see the women in this house, you'll know that any man would definitely be satisfied. However, this woman certainly won't listen to us so easily..."

"Where does she think she can just ignore what I say When it comes to dealing with disobedient women, I have plenty of ways."

Several women were standing outside, acting arrogantly and paying no heed to the people inside. Perhaps these words were intended for those inside all along, saving them the trouble of explaining. To them, the people inside were like fish on a chopping board.

Hearing this, Qin Luoyan finally understood what kind of place this observatory was.

The other day, I overheard a few maidservants from the palace gossiping. They said that these days, wealthy young masters have become quite discerning. They don't just favor courtesans anymore, they prefer seeking out more exciting and expensive pleasures.

I suppose playing the role of a female Taoist nun would be appealing to those wealthy and powerful individuals.

Several women at the door heard something shatter inside, and they quickly pulled open the iron chain and rushed in. They saw Qin Luoyan standing there perfectly fine, and the few of them let out a sigh of relief.

"Well, she's a real beauty indeed." The Daoist priest at the head of the procession saw Qin Luo'yan's face and immediately beamed with delight.
