Chapter 322 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 26
Xuan Ji was silent for a long time, then he looked up at her and asked, "Donor Yu, do you know where the palace maid Yunyan is now?"

Yu Yao shook her head slightly, her eyes confused, "I just heard about these old things by chance, and I don't know the whereabouts of Yunyan. Master, do you want to find her and ask her for clarification?"

What she heard by chance was all made up by her. If the system hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known these things.

Xuan Ji didn't know what she was thinking, and sighed softly: "I just have a lot of doubts in my heart. I want to find her and solve the mystery in my heart. I want to know what happened back then and who killed Concubine Min. Perhaps, only by finding her can I truly understand my own life experience."

Originally he thought that he was abandoned by his parents and relatives, so naturally he didn't want to look for them, not to mention that he had already become a monk.

But now I heard that my mother was murdered and she had no choice but to entrust her child to me before her death, so I wanted to find out the truth.

Yu Yao wanted to say that Concubine Min was killed by the Queen, but when she thought that the Queen was Mo Jue's biological mother in this life, she started to have a headache again.

Suddenly, she felt a little regretful about telling Xuan Ji the truth.

She knew that it was selfish of her to think this way, but she really didn't want to see Mo Jue and Xuan Ji killing each other.

One was her husband in her previous life, and the other was the father of her two children in this life.

If the two of them started fighting one day, she really didn't know who to help.

Xuan Ji saw that she was silent and looked troubled and annoyed, so he asked in confusion: "Donor Yu, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Yao shook her head slightly, looked at Xuan Ji, and said, "Master, have you ever heard any clues about Yunyan in Wanfo Temple? Perhaps the abbot and elders in the temple will know something."

Even if she didn't help, Xuan Ji would find out the truth himself and let everything take its course.

Xuan Ji shook his head slightly and sighed, "Since I can remember, I have been practicing in Wanfo Temple. My master is always very secretive about my background. The elders don't know much about it. They only know that I was found by the abbot at the gate of the mountain. As for other things, they know nothing."

"In that case, why don't you go back to Wanfo Temple and ask the abbot. He may know some clues. When Yunyan took you out of the palace, the children in the palace always left some items proving their identity on their bodies. Maybe they are with the abbot."

Yu Yao was silent for a moment and then suggested.

I’m afraid that Yunyan’s childhood sweetheart will covet those tokens and sell them for money, which would be troublesome.

Xuan Ji was reminded by her and thought that his master might know something, so he said gratefully: "Donor Yu, what you said makes sense. I will leave now so that I can go early and come back early."

"Master, why are you in such a hurry? It's getting late now. It won't be too late to set off tomorrow morning."

After she finished speaking, she saw Youyou yawning, and knew that the little girl was sleepy, so she put down the rattle in her hand, picked up the child, and gently patted her back to coax her to sleep.

The little guy fell asleep very quickly.

"That's fine. There's really no need to rush."

When Xuan Ji saw Youyou sleeping soundly, his heart softened, and he followed suit to coax Anan to sleep.

After the brother and sister fell asleep, the two gently placed the child in the cradle and tucked him in the quilt.

At this time, Aunt Zhou hurried into the room and told the two that dinner was ready and they could go and eat.

Yu Yao looked at Xuan Ji, "Master, let's go have dinner."

Xuan Ji clasped his hands together and bowed slightly, "Donor Yu, please."

They walked out of the room side by side. It was late at night and the moonlight was shining brightly in the small courtyard, adding a sense of tranquility and peace.

Several lotus plants in the courtyard swayed gently in the night, as if they were also listening to this extraordinary story.

On the dining table, a few candles flickered, illuminating the figures of two people sitting opposite each other, making the atmosphere seem particularly warm.

Aunt Zhao’s cooking skills are excellent. Although the vegetarian dishes are simple, they are delicious and tasty. The air is filled with the faint aroma of rice.

She carefully served Xuan Ji some food and said with a smile, "It's just some simple food, I hope the master won't mind."

Xuan Ji took a bite and smiled: "What are you talking about, Mr. Yu? People who practice cultivation should be indifferent to fame and wealth, and should be free from all desires for food and sex. These dishes are already very good, and they also make me feel the warmth of home."

"Family?"

Yu Yao's eyes moved slightly, and she repeated the word softly, smiling faintly, "Yes, with a child, this place will become our home."

"our home?"

Xuan Ji stared at her blankly, with an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.

But he quickly retracted his gaze, clasped his hands together, lowered his head slightly, suppressed the ripples in his eyes, and said: "Amitabha, I lost my composure for a moment, I hope that Mr. Yu will forgive me."

She shook her head gently and said softly, "Master, you don't have to do this. You know, although I am a demon, my heart has changed since I met you. What I long for is just an ordinary happiness."

Xuan Ji's eyes were complicated, and he felt more and more guilty. He didn't even dare to look into her eyes: "Master Yu, humans and demons are different, but the word love can transcend everything. It is rare for you and I to have good intentions in our hearts." He knew what she wanted, but he was already a Buddhist. Was he still qualified to have such happiness?
Yu Yao didn't want to force him, but she couldn't help asking, "Master, do you regret having this relationship with me?"

She thought Xuan Ji would nod and say he regretted it, but he actually shook his head.

"Donor Yu, everything in the world has cause and effect. Our meeting may be destined. Although I am a monk, I cannot escape the fate of love. If you hadn't helped me that night, I'm afraid I would have died. I only hope that in the future, I can protect these two children with you and let them grow up healthily."

Yu Yao's eyes were slightly red, but she also showed a relieved smile: "Master, with your words, I am satisfied. As for the future, it depends on my fate with you."

After dinner, the two took a walk in the yard to aid digestion.

The bright moonlight fell on the two of them, adding a bit of warmth and tranquility.

"Master, you are going back to Wanfo Temple tomorrow. Do you need me to go with you?"

She walked on the bluestone path in the courtyard, glanced sideways at Xuan Ji who was walking side by side with her, and asked softly.

Xuan Ji glanced at her and shook his head. "No need. I have to face this journey alone. No matter what the result is, I have to bear it myself. You just stay here and take care of the children. I will tell you in detail when I return."

Yu Yao felt a little reluctant, but she also knew that what he said made sense, so she stopped insisting, "Master, be careful on your journey. My two children and I will be waiting for you at home."

Hearing the word "home" again, Xuan Ji would be lying if he said he didn't feel touched.

He raised his eyes to look at her, his deep eyes were full of complexity, and deep in them, there was a strong feeling that could not be let go.

Although he did not answer, he also acknowledged the word "home".

Yu Yao saw it and her smile deepened.

The two chatted for a few more minutes and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Xuan Ji sat on the edge of the bed, silently repeating the word "home".

This simple word seemed to have endless magic at this moment, creating ripples in his heart.

Yu Yao's gentle face and the two cute children sleeping appeared in his mind.

He also thought of every moment he had spent with her. Those heartwarming moments were like beautiful paintings, slowly unfolding in his heart.

He thought about how attentive she was when she served the food for him.

Thinking of her gentle smile in the moonlight.

Thinking about the loving expression on her face when she faced the two children.

This "home" has become so warm and real because of her two children.

As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a happy smile.

On the morning of the second day, the sky was just beginning to turn pale and Lianhua County was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, peaceful and tranquil.

Yu Yao got up and dressed quietly, afraid of disturbing the two sleeping children.

Xuan Ji was meditating in the courtyard early in the morning. The morning breeze blew across his monk's robe, making him look particularly solemn and detached.

"Master, breakfast is ready. Let's have some before going to the Wanfo Temple."

Yu Yao pushed the door open and walked out. She saw Xuan Ji meditating in the yard. She was slightly startled and smiled faintly.

Xuan Ji slowly opened his eyes, stood up, clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yu. I will have breakfast and leave immediately."

She led him to the dining room, where a simple bowl of porridge and side dishes were laid out on the table.

Xuan Ji sat down and ate breakfast in silence.

Yu Yao sat opposite him and drank porridge. "Master, the journey to Wanfo Temple is long. You must be careful."

Xuan Ji nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, I will take good care of myself. I will tell you the details when I return."

After the meal, Yu Yao handed him a package: "There are some dry food and silver in it, which may be useful on the road. Master, take care on your journey."

His voice was choked with sobs, and there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Xuan Ji took the package, feeling reluctant to leave. "I know, take good care of An An and You You, and don't tire yourself out. I'm leaving."

She nodded slightly and watched him walk out of the yard until his figure disappeared in the morning mist and was completely out of sight.
