Chapter 31: Xiaolan's thoughts and Grandma Hua's scolding
Everyone looked at his departing back and couldn't help muttering to themselves:
"This is probably the first time that Shaolin has accepted a female disciple..."

"I wonder what that Shaolin monk was thinking, to be reincarnated into a girl?"

"Who knows?"

"I'm suddenly looking forward to how Sanzang will teach her."

"..."

……

……

When Lin Xuan took Hua Xiaolan to see Abbot Sanzang.

Wang Dianzuo and Elder Xuanfeng have sent martial monks to search almost half of Shaolin Temple.

But there was still no trace of Hua Xiaolan.

Upon learning that the child had not been found, Grandma Hua's face was filled with worry and she was extremely anxious.

She was afraid that Hua Xiaolan would be kidnapped.

After all, there are quite a few refugees in Shaolin Temple right now, and among them there is a mixed crowd. It is possible that some of them are bad guys with ulterior motives.

"Reporting to Elder Xuanfeng, we have searched the Medicine King Courtyard and the Discipline Courtyard, but we still haven't found the girl named Hua Xiaolan."

Another group of monks came back with low sighs and spoke to Elder Xuanfeng.

Hear this.

Grandma Hua's face suddenly turned pale for no reason.

He could only look helplessly at Elder Xuanfeng.

See this.

Elder Xuanfeng thought about it thoughtfully, and immediately asked:

"Have you ever been to the Abbot's Courtyard?"

"I haven't been there."

The monk beside him shook his head.

"That child shouldn't be going anywhere, right?"

Wang Dianzuo understood what Elder Xuanfeng meant and frowned subconsciously.

The abbot's courtyard is an important place in the temple.

Generally speaking, even the Shaolin elders would not go there unless it was something urgent.

Elder Xuanfeng also felt that the probability of the child going to the Abbot's Residence was low.

But he had already found what he needed to find. He could not help but rack his brains and muttered to himself:
"Then where did she go?"

"Shaolin Temple is only this big, and we have already searched all the places we need to search."

"I've also sent people to keep watch at the foot of the mountain."

at this time.

Suddenly a monk came here in a hurry and reported to him:

"Reporting to Elder Xuanfeng, we found Hua Xiaolan!"

"Hua Xiaolan has been found. Where is she?"

Elder Xuanfeng's face lit up and he asked.

"She was with Lin Xuan and just came out of the abbot's courtyard."

The monk replied.

"He really went to the Abbot's Courtyard!"

This time, the king was dumbfounded.

But then I thought about it and I understood.

Most likely, it was Lin Xuan who brought Hua Xiaolan to the Abbot's Courtyard.

After all, Lin Xuan was the disciple of Abbot Sanzang.

But then again, why did Lin Xuan take her to the abbot's courtyard?
……

Grandma Hua breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that her granddaughter was fine. She smiled to Elder Xuanfeng a little embarrassedly:
"It's fine as long as we find him. This child just loves to run around. I hope he hasn't gotten into any trouble. Elder Xuanfeng, I'm sorry to have caused trouble for your temple this time."

"Grandma Hua, you are too kind."

Elder Xuanfeng waved his hand.

Then, he told Grandma Hua about Lin Xuan's identity.

Speaking of which, Elder Xuanfeng was also curious why Hua Xiaolan was with Lin Xuan?
Could it be that the two knew each other before?

But Elder Xuanfeng remembered that he had read Lin Xuan's information.

He is from Xiawa Village in Kaifeng City and has no relatives in Qingshi Village.

Instead, his mother's hometown, Chenjia Village, is closer to Shaolin.

While several people were talking.

Lin Xuan and Hua Xiaolan were talking and laughing as they walked towards the mountain gate.

It turned out that after the two left the abbot's courtyard, they went to Lin Xuan's dormitory.

They brought out the basket of clothes and bedding. Since Hua Xiaolan didn't know the way, Lin Xuan led her out.

As soon as the two of them walked out.

Elder Xuanfeng, Wang Dianzuo and Grandma Hua all looked towards the two of them, with strange expressions in their eyes.

"Xiao Lan, why are you running around everywhere, making grandma worried, and even bothering Elder Xuanfeng and Wang Dianzuo to send people to look for you?"

Seeing Hua Xiaolan coming out, Grandma Hua couldn't suppress her anger and scolded her.

"Grandma, I know I was wrong. I just got lost. Luckily I met Lin Xuan, and he led me out."

Hua Xiaolan knew she had done something wrong and explained with a blushing face.

She didn't tell her grandmother that she had also met Abbot Sanzang.

Because once her grandmother found out that she had asked Abbot Sanzang to accept her as a disciple, she would definitely be unhappy.

Besides, she was not sure whether Abbot Sanzang would be willing to accept her as a disciple.

Looking at the old lady in front of him with a stern expression, Lin Xuan took the initiative to step forward and greeted her:

"Hello, Grandma Hua."

"My name is Lin Xuan. I heard from Hua Xiaolan that you were still washing clothes at midnight last night. You must have worked so hard."

Lin Xuan is handsome and sweet-spoken.

Hearing this, Grandma Hua's expression relaxed a lot, and she smiled warmly:
"Lin Xuan, right?"

"Elder Xuanfeng mentioned you before. You are the disciple of Abbot Sanzang. You are a very polite child. You can come to Qingshi Village as a guest when you are free."

"Thank you for the invitation, Grandma Hua. I will definitely go there when I have time." Lin Xuan nodded and said.

"Xiaolan, go hang these clothes up."

After a while, Grandma Hua gave the order.

After saying that, she pointed to the clothesline not far away.

Hua Xiaolan picked up the basket of clothes and walked towards the clothesline.

She deliberately slowed down her pace.

Because Hua Xiaolan knew that as soon as the clothes were hung up, her grandmother would come down the mountain.

If that happened, she wouldn't be able to wait for Abbot Sanzang's final decision.

So, she decided to delay a little longer.

however.

A quarter of an hour later, seeing that Hua Xiaolan had not hung up the clothes yet, Grandma Hua could not help but urge her:

"Xiao Lan, hurry up and finish drying the clothes, or it will be dark when you get home."

"Got it, grandma."

Hua Xiaolan answered while shaking her clothes.

But his hands moved very slowly.

This time, Grandma Hua seemed to have discovered something fishy. She seemed to have guessed Hua Xiaolan's intention, and she said frankly:
"Xiaolan, do you want to stay in Shaolin?"

"Grandma, I..."

Having her thoughts exposed, Hua Xiaolan felt a little guilty and whispered:
"No, I just want to dry these clothes and beddings carefully..."

Grandma Hua pointed out her problem and said:
"But you're taking so long to dry the clothes. Forget it, let grandma do it herself."

After saying that, she walked over here and hung up all the remaining clothes, bedding, etc. in one go.

He turned around and put the dirty clothes on the donkey cart into the basket.

Immediately, he said to Hua Xiaolan:

"Get in the car, Xiaolan."

"We should go home."

Hua Xiaolan looked into the temple and found that Abbot Sanzang was not there. She was a little disappointed.

I tried hard to beg Grandma Hua:
"Grandma, how about waiting a moment..."

"If we wait any longer, it will be dark by the time we get home."

Grandma Hua looked up at the sky and spoke in a firm tone.

"OK then."

The girl frowned and sighed softly.

In the end, he had no choice but to jump onto the donkey cart.

As for Lin Xuan, he noticed that Hua Xiaolan had been delaying time.

I understand that she is waiting for Abbot Sanzang to make a decision.

But Abbot Sanzang will not come out for a while.

I watched Hua Xiaolan get on the donkey cart to go home, just when Grandma Hua turned the cart around.

suddenly...
