Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi with tenderness, "Qingzhi, I'll escort you back to the village, and then return to the capital."
Considering the time needed, it would take about three hours from here to the Chu family village and another four hours from the village back to the capital. "Alright, but you should rest overnight in the Chu family village before leaving," Chu Qingzhi suggested.
Understanding that Chu Qingzhi cared for him, Tang Jinghong obediently agreed, "Okay."
After tidying up, they left the courtyard and went to bid farewell to the abbot.
The abbot showed great courtesy to the two, not only meeting them but also expressing concern. This made the other visitors who wished to meet the abbot envious.
The young monk was waiting at the temple's entrance, glancing inside from time to time. This time, when he looked, his bright black eyes lit up. "Miss Chu."
