The people of Chen Family Village made their plans and went about their own business.
Chen Yongsheng took Xie Shao Yuan to finalize who would be traveling to the Capital City first, while Old Mrs. Chen packed with Mrs. Gao.
Xie Liangchen followed Chen Zigeng to Mr. Dongli's courtyard.
Mr. Dongli had visited Jianguo Temple and brought the abbot back to Chen Family Village. This abbot was not quite what Xie Liangchen expected; he was not a high monk exuding sandalwood scent and preaching Buddhist doctrines, but rather like an elder who had experienced much and was modest in demeanor.
Mr. Dongli met Master Hui'an while accompanying the present Emperor in battle. The court was recruiting soldiers everywhere, and among those enlisted one was a monk—the monk was Master Hui'an.
