Chapter 7040
Maria shook her head and said,
βI came here to meet the distinguished guest of your temple.β
βMy distinguished guest?!β
Kong Yin was stunned for a moment, then asked her,
βMiss, are you acquainted with Master Jingqing and the others?β
βI donβt know them.β
Maria smiled and said, βI just saw that your temple is closed for reconstruction.β
βAnd Master Jingqing has come to Japan again.β
βI felt that the person I was looking for might be here.β
βSo I came to take a look.β
βIf it is convenient for you, please send someone to tell them for me.β
βAnd tell them that Maria begs to meet them.β
Kong Yin nodded and said,
βTo be honest, miss, among them, I only know Master Jingqing.β
βThe others all live in a separate courtyard in the temple.β
βThey seldom go out and never communicate with us.β
βHowever, it seems that Master Jingqing is not the leader of these people.β
βThe real leader should be living in seclusion in the separate courtyard.β
βMiss, wait a moment, I will tell Master Jingqing and ask him to convey the message.β
Maria said, βYou are old and weak, so donβt bother.β
βI will go find the novice monk and ask him to convey the message on my behalf. βGo ahead and talk.β
Kong Yin smiled and took out his cell phone from under the futon, saying,
βDonβt worry, miss. Iβll call Master Jingqing.β
Maria was stunned for a moment, covered her mouth and giggled, reached out and touched his bald head, and said with a smile,
βZhengping, when I see you again, it feels like more than a hundred years ago.β
βI forgot that we are now in modern society.β
Kong Yin smiled like a child and said,
βBut in my heart, the days when he lived with his other brothers and sisters were the best time of his life.β
Maria sighed, βTime flies.β
βYou are the only one left among your brothers and sisters, right?β
Kong Yin sighed with tears in his eyes,
βYes, miss, I am the only one left.β
βI didnβt expect that I would have the chance to see you before I die.β
As he spoke, he couldnβt help sobbing again.
Maria smiled and said, βOkay, stop crying.β
βYou were the most tearful of all the children before.β
βI didnβt expect you to be over a hundred years old and still
βI canβt count how many times youβve cried since I met you.β
Kong Yin quickly wiped away his tears and murmured,
βIβm sorry to have made a fool of myselfβ¦β
Then, to avoid embarrassment, he quickly picked up his phone and asked Maria,
βBy the way, Miss, how should I tell Master Jingqing?β
Maria smiled and said, βJust tell him that your daughter wants to meet the head of his family.β
βIf you would be so kind,β
βPlease come to the main hall for a chat.β
βOkay, Miss.β
Kong Yin called Master Jingqing without hesitation.
Jingqing was not surprised by his call.
After the call was connected, he said respectfully,
βHello, Master Kongyin.β
Master Kongyin continued, βMaster Jingqing,β
βMy daughter wants to meet the head of your family.β
βCould you please come to the main hall for a chat?β
Jingqing looked at Margaret in front of him, and Margaret nodded slightly.
He then said to Kongyin, βPlease ask Master Kongyin to tell your young lady that weβre coming right over.β
After hanging up, he asked Margaret,
βMadam, Iβll accompany you.β
Margaret stood up and said with a smile,
βLetβs all come together.β
βSheβs brave enough to take such a risk to come to Kyoto alone.β
βWhatβs there for us to hold back?β
Leon and Sister Sun exchanged a glance, then stood up silently.
Then, the four of them walked toward the main hall.
Inside, Maria sat at attention.
For a girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen,
Sitting so upright and looking so solemn was a bit of a strange sight.
Kongyin had a thousand words to say to Maria,
But he knew his young lady had important matters to attend to,
So he sat down beside her in silence.
Soon, footsteps were heard, and Maria raised her eyes toward the main hall entrance.
Although she remained calm, she was also deeply curious about who was behind all this, even orchestrating it.
Moreover, she knew very well that the fact that they had arranged for her to meet at Qingzhao Temple proved that she was in the open with them,
And they must have known her identity and origins.
Now, it was finally time for everyone to be frank!
