Yu Shuya hung her head like a dying flower after listening to Yu Niang's narrative.
Judging from their current situation, she would have to stay with Yu Niang on the mountain.
But she would not resign to wasting her life living in this mountain.
Now that they were facing dangers coming from all directions, how could she survive and lead the life she wanted?
Yu Shuya shuddered at this thought.
She would need to consider how to stay alive.
Master Yuzhi, the woman that was trying to kill her. No, she had already attempted to take her life. How could she explain her revival if she was to appear in front of her again?
What if she tried to kill her again tonight?
Her plan fooled Master Yuzhi once, but she might not fool her twice.
Yu Niang caressed Yu Shuya's forehead when she noticed the worried look on her face.
"It was my fault. I couldn't protect you well."
Yu Shuya shook her head. Yu Niang was the person who treated her best. She had suffered so much for her. She was the one that failed to protect her.
"What were you thinking, young mistress? You seem absent-minded."
Yu Shuya was thinking about how she could protect herself from Master Yuzhi tonight. When she heard Yu Niang's questions, she unthinkingly said, "Master Yuzhi."
Yu Shuya awkwardly covered her mouth with her hands when she realized the words she spoke.
Master Yuyan stopped her motions of chopping vegetables when she heard the words from Yu Shuya.
"Young mistress, why are you looking for Master Yuzhi?"
Master Yuyan shifted her robes and squatted in front of Yu Shuya before she questioned further.
Yu Shuya considered that; since Master Yuyan and Master Yuzhi had the word Yu in front of their name and they were both bullied by the other nuns, she might find out some information from Master Yuyan.
"I'm wondering that since Master Yuzhi is a beauty, why does she cover her face and lowers her head all the time?"
When Master Yuzhi revealed her bloodied face after parting her hair, Yu Shuya could tell that she was a great beauty based on her facial features.
Master Yuyan was silent for a moment before she spoke after hearing Yu Shuya's words.
"Young mistress, you saw Master Yuzhi's face?"
Yu Shuya nodded and continued to sing praises of Master Yuzhi's beauty.
"I've been living with Master Yuzhi for many years. I only get to see her appearances by chance. It was surprising that you saw her actual appearance when you first met her."
Yu Shuya nodded but was immediately dumbfounded.
Master Yuyan and Master Yuzhi lived in the same room?
She recalled Yu Niang told her that there were many rooms in the nunnery. So, two nuns would share a room in the nunnery.
If they were roommates for years, Master Yuyan would know Master Yuzhi best.
Then, she could get to know about Master Yuzhi from Master Yuyan.
When she thought of the danger awaiting her tonight, Yu Shuya jumped up from the bench and hung around Master Yuyan.
"Master, you are both great beauties and stay in the same room together..."
She showered Master Yuyan with praises until Master Yuyan couldn't help smiling brightly.
Yu Niang was commenting on her young mistress's sweet words as well from the side.
After spending much time showering Master Yuyan with sweet words, she could finally ask what she came to ask.
