940 Giving Herb (3)
Luo Tan said, “Cousin, I’ll accompany you. If anything happens, we can take care of each other.”
Shen Miao thought for a moment and nodded. Although Luo Tan was impulsive, she had not caused any trouble. Shen Miao did not know what Daoist Priest Chi Yan wanted to do. She had always been wary of people. Although she believed that Daoist Priest Chi Yan was capable, she was still instinctively guarded against him.
Seeing that Shen Miao had made up her mind, Hui Xiang and the others knew that it was impossible to talk her out of it. Seeing that Luo Tan would be with Shen Miao, they felt a little relieved. They instructed Luo Tan and even gave her the signal fireworks used by the Black Feather Army to send a message. They said that if anything happened, she just needed to set off the fireworks and they would rush to rescue them.
Daoist Priest Chi Yan was a little impatient and said, “Hurry up. When it gets dark, I won’t be able to help you anymore.”
Shen Miao said, “Let’s go.”
The path Daoist Priest Chi Yan took with Shen Miao and Luo Tan was very strange. Or rather, this place, which was a forest, originally had no path, but Daoist Priest Chi Yan took a very sharp turn at a certain point, and a clear path appeared suddenly. The path he took was not easy to walk on. Sometimes, when it seemed to be a dead end, he could take a sharp turn onto a new path. Luo Tan clicked her tongue in wonder, and Shen Miao was also surprised.
Luo Tan asked, “Daoist priest, you seem to be very familiar with this place. Have you been here often?”
“I’ve lived here since I was young, so I’m naturally familiar with it.” Daoist Priest Chi Yan stroked his beard proudly and said, “Many of these trees were planted by me back then.”
Luo Tan nodded. “It seems like you’re from the Daliang Dynasty. Why did I hear that… you’ve met my little cousin before? My little cousin has never been to the Daliang Dynasty in the past.” Luo Tan was still thinking about the surprised look on Shen Miao’s face when she saw Daoist Priest Chi Yan. Clearly, they knew each other before.
Daoist Priest Chi Yan looked at Shen Miao meaningfully. “I’m fated to meet this madam. No matter where we are, we’ll eventually meet.”
Luo Tan scratched her head, not understanding, but Shen Miao was deep in thought. She felt that this Daoist priest seemed to know more than she thought. She planned to ask him about her previous life after Xie Jingxing’s matter was over.
As soon as this thought appeared in her mind, Daoist Priest Chi Yan smiled and said, “Madam, you want to save your husband and ask questions, but you can only choose one of the two. You have to think carefully about your choice.”
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. The Daoist priest seemed to be able to see through her mind. This meant that if she wanted to ask about her previous life, she couldn’t save Xie Jingxing. If she wanted to save Xie Jingxing, she couldn’t ask questions about her previous life. Shen Miao was unhappy. She heard Daoist Priest Chi Yan ask, “Madam, have you made up your mind?”
Luo Tan looked at the two of them curiously, not understanding what Daoist Priest Chi Yan and Shen Miao were up to. However, Shen Miao had always been mysterious like this. Very few people could understand what she said.
Shen Miao said indifferently, “I can think of a way to find the answers myself. Please save my husband first.”
