Chapter Ch21 - Xiao Daogu (Part 1)

Lin Mumu was originally an orphan.

When she was a child, she was picked up by Lin Guan, the master of Yu Qing Temple. She paid her respects and acknowledged him as her master, and henceforth started living with him in the temple on the mountain, to practice a Daoist’s life, isolated and far away from the modern society.

Time passed by in a flash and she quickly turned 18.

Speaking of Lin Mumu’s talent in Taoism, it was very average. Her studies were very lacking and she could only learn less than 10% of what her master taught her. Her level at fortune telling, observing the constellations, and catching ghosts was worse than that of street swindlers.

However, Lin Mumu is innately sensitive to plants, and naturally gifted at raising them, growing flowers and planting trees. In her previous life, she was able to win the championship of the Flower God Competition with her ability.

Now, thinking about it, it could be assumed that in the dirty scheming and muddled waters of the competition, without Yun Ting protecting her, let alone winning the championship, she may not necessarily have been able to keep her little life.

Yun Ting was obviously not accustomed to such a docile and tame Lin Mumu. She not only accepted the amulet he gifted her, she also allowed him to hold her hand. Was she really no angry at him for being forcefully married to him?

Yun Ting was a professional soldier of the military’s special forces. Although Lin Mumu’s eyes were closed, he knew she wasn’t unconscious, her breathing couldn’t deceive him.

However, he unexplainedly didn’t expose her, and quietly took advantage of her tacit approval to hold onto her little soft and boneless hand for a while, and stare intently at her fresh and pure face that emitted a warmth and brightness similar to that of the morning sunshine.

Even layers of thick fabric couldn’t cover Lin Mumu’s radiance in Yun Ting’s heart.

He knew her for longer than she knew. He’s been observing her for countless days and nights, but she didn’t even know.

“Yun Ge, did sister-in-law wake up? When are leaving back to Beijing?”

Someone knocked on the door, finally interrupting Lin Mumu’s reminiscing and Yun Ting’s staring.

Lin Mumu was embarrassed to keep acting asleep. She opened her eyes and sweetly smiled at Yun Ting.
