Chapter 6: Investigating Reality and Reality

She had only vaguely heard that the location seemed to be the same as the current nunnery, but she didn't think much about it at the time. Now, seeing Lüya's attitude, she was afraid that the brothel was indeed here.

Thinking of this, Chusi first set up a fire in the courtyard and boiled water, then went out, passed through the corridor of the wing room, and went straight to the nuns' residence.

There was someone guarding the door of the residence, as if guarding her. When she approached, the person hurriedly stepped forward and smiled, "Does Miss Chu have something to do?"

"I'm here to find Reverend Miaoyin." Looking at the fair-skinned young nun in front of her, Chusi smiled faintly, "Reverend Miaoyin asked me about Reverend Miaoxian before. I have remembered some clues now and want to tell her, or I might forget later."

Miaoxian was also one of the "respected and virtuous" reverends here. The young nun did not dare to neglect and led Chusi inside. As Chusi walked in, a faint fragrance wafted in. The further she walked, the stronger the fragrance became. There were young nuns with loose robes on the corridor, all fair-skinned with a hint of charm in their eyes. They had never seen Chusi before. Chusi and Lüya were doing physical labor and usually did not come here. Naturally, they did not go there either. They all smiled when they saw a stranger, "Oh, Reverend, why did you pick such a young girl who is still wet behind the ears? Men don't like this kind of skinny body..."

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense!" Miaoyin appeared at some point, glared at the young nun who spoke, and then looked at Chusi. She had walked all the way, her expression unchanged, and her eyes remained indifferent. Since she fell into the water once, she seemed to have changed completely. Moreover, her demeanor seemed like that of a noblewoman from the palace.

Miaoyin's face gradually darkened as she looked at the young nun who led the way, "Don't you understand the rules here?"

"She said she wanted to see you and report something about Reverend Miaoxian..." The young nun looked timid, obviously a newcomer, and the people around her were all watching with a mocking attitude.

"Enough." Miaoyin was a little impatient, looked at Chusi, and said, "Let's talk outside." With that, she turned and walked out.

Chusi didn't need to go to her room. As soon as she entered here, she confirmed what she had in mind.

"What happened to Miaoxian?" Miaoyin tightened her cotton jacket, and the prayer beads in her hand seemed to be crushed.

"She's dead."

Miaoyin's face stiffened, "How could this happen..."

"Yesterday, she took me to gather firewood, and then I got lost in the woods. Somehow, I ended up at the foot of the mountain and stayed there all night. The next morning, Reverend came to find me, but when we were preparing to go back, a disheveled man appeared out of nowhere. Reverend asked me to go back first. I ran for a while and then went back to find Reverend, and I vaguely saw the man picking up a knife..."

Miaoyin stood still, her hands trembling slightly, "Could it be that they escaped?" Miaoyin muttered softly, then gritted her teeth and hurried towards the main courtyard.

Watching her hurried departure, Chusi knew she was right. This place was indeed the brothel, and the king of debauchery really kept his dead soldiers here!

In the main hall, the presiding reverend was meditating. Although she was chanting, there was no peace or charity on her old face. Seeing Miaoyin rushing over, she put away the prayer beads in her hand, "Why are you so flustered?"

"Miaoxian is dead."
