Chapter 495: 259: Darling daughter!_2

The nun’s eyes became misty as she said, "In any case, I have never seen such a beautiful and captivating woman in all my life, not even at the Dragon Temple. Perhaps, only this lady by your side could be compared to her."

Suo Lun knew who this woman was.

An Ashi Liren!

Even though she hadn’t spoken a word, she had already left an incomparable and profound impression on the nun.

A woman like her, even if veiled, would be unforgettable to anyone who glimpsed her even once.

But how could an Ashi Liren appear here?

Qiufeng Town belongs to Drifting City and is a neutral force, not a part of the Rage Wave Kingdom nor the Flame Empire.

Moreover, this place is remote and desolate. What could an Ashi Liren be doing here? (She was here to pay homage to her husband, Yan Ping; Fallen Leaf Village belongs to Qiufeng Town.)

"May I ask, how many days has it been since that lady took my daughter away? In which direction did they go?" Suo Lun asked.

The nun replied, "She left four days ago, heading south."

If they went south, then there was no doubt that they were heading back to Rouran City. With four days passed, Suo Lun and Zhi Yan, riding on their Griffin Beast, might still be able to catch up.

"Thank you for your information, revered nun." Then Suo Lun took out a stack of gold notes and said, "This gold is for the children at the monastery to buy some clothes, and for those who come here to get treated, to get some good medicine."

The nun calmly accepted Suo Lun’s gold notes, as people of the Shendong Monastery were indifferent to money.

"Do you intend to chase after them?" the nun asked.

"Yes," Suo Lun replied.

The nun said, "You probably won’t catch up, because they left riding on two Griffin Beasts. The little girl by the lady’s side had an onset of her illness and needed to get home quickly for treatment."

Griffin Beasts?

Suo Lun was shocked. Where did the Ashi Liren get Griffin Beasts?

Among all the lords of the land, none possessed Griffin Beasts. Among the four great kingdoms and one empire, Gryphon Knights were symbols of the royal families.

If not for Zhi Yan, Suo Lun wouldn’t have been able to ride a Griffin Beast either.

The nun said, "The Griffin Beasts were brought by a young master in white, a gentleman even more beautiful than you."

In the entire world, there might be those more handsome than Suo Lun, but very few could be said to be more beautiful, with the exception of one—Jiang Xue from the Dongli Kingdom.

Even Ashi Luo, in terms of appearance, was only on par with Suo Lun, but his allure was enchantingly lethal, making him seem exceptionally striking.

Only Jiang Xue would have Griffin Beasts.

Zhi Yan said, "If they were riding Griffin Beasts, then they would have reached home two days ago. We won’t be able to catch up."

Suo Lun sighed in his heart. "Is this fate?"

He was originally planning to go to Rouran City, and now he had even more reason to go since his daughter was also there.

Then Suo Lun once again bowed to the nun and said, "Thank you for taking care of my daughter over these years. I am deeply grateful."

The nun smiled and said, "It’s also a bond between me and little Qin Qin."

She kept mentioning only Qin Qin, not mentioning Fu Yan’er, which suggested she didn’t have a good impression of her.

Then, the nun seemed hesitant to speak, but finally said, "After you take back Qin Qin and her mother, what do you plan to do?"

Suo Lun was surprised and replied, "Of course, I’ll love and care for her. Whatever she likes, I’ll teach her, and take care of her until she grows up. Then, I’ll choose a loving and good husband for her to ensure a happy life."

The nun asked, "And what about her mother, Fuyuan?"

Suo Lun gently shook his head and said, "She will convalesce at home."

The nun said, "We hermits should not speak ill of others. But as for Fuyuan, we really don’t like her. Is this lady by your side your wife?"

Suo Lun nodded and said, "She’s my fiancée."

The nun said, "Then after you bring them back, it would be best for your fiancée to personally take care of little Qin Qin and not leave everything to Fuyuan. I am worried it would affect Qin Qin’s disposition."

Zhi Yan stepped forward and said, "Please rest assured, I will."

Suo Lun was truly curious now. What exactly had Fu Yan’er done that made the nun dislike her so much, to the point of not wanting Qin Qin to stay with her mother?

Next, the nun said, "Furthermore, when you meet Qin Qin, please don’t be disappointed. Try your best to love her and understand her. I assure you, in just a few days’ time, you will adore her immensely. She is the most beautiful, smartest, and also the most pitiable girl in this world."

Suo Lun’s face trembled as he asked, "What, what’s wrong with my daughter?"

The nun said, "She, she cannot speak."

Suo Lun was astonished. "How is that possible?"

The nun explained, "Rest assured, she’s not mute and her mind is very smart. She understands everything we say, but she just can’t speak."

Tears welled up in Suo Lun’s eyes. Qin Qin was five or six years old and still couldn’t speak, yet she was very intelligent. Clearly, this was a psychological issue, or perhaps she had suffered a severe trauma.

Hearing the nun’s displeasure when talking about Fu Yan’er, it was obvious that her mother had not done well. Suo Lun grew even more anxious.

"Revered nun, we must take our leave now," Suo Lun said.

The nun replied, "I wish for you and your daughter’s swift reunion."

Suo Lun and Zhi Yan left the monastery and mounted the Griffin Beast in a secluded spot, heading back to Tian Shui City.

"When do you plan to go to Rouran City?" Zhi Yan asked.

"Within two to three days," Suo Lun said. "After returning to Tian Shui City, I’ll have the Magician make me a perfect disguise. Then, I’ll find a substitute for myself in Tian Shui City."
