Chapter 4 Setting up faith is really hard to understand

  Jiang Nian and DouDou stared at each other for a while, but in the end Jiang Nian was defeated and sat up straight to listen to what DouDou had to say next.

  "I knew you weren't Ling Yu the moment I saw you." Doudou casually picked up the hot water that Jiang Nian had just poured on the table and took a sip, his expression even colder than before, but very casual, as if he didn't care at all. "When I knocked on the door, I used a special method from the temple. Once someone knocks like this, it means something has happened to the Lishu tree. The Lishu tree is the root of the Tian Shen Temple, more important than anything else." He paused for a moment and said very seriously, "Including you, of course, including Ling Yu as well." At this time, he lowered his head again, his eyelashes trembling, "But you don't care about the Lishu tree." His tone was very serious, even unhappy, showing that not caring about the stupid tree was a huge sin.

  Jiang Nian slightly raised his head, quietly looking at him with a calm expression and an air of "what's the big deal". In his heart, he was silently complaining, "What are you pretending to be so noble and cold for? If you have something to say, just say it. I'm sitting here, not going anywhere, can't you just give me a straight answer?"

  "You're walking now without teleporting because you don't know how to use magic. You can't distinguish the exact colors of things unconsciously because you've just entered a black and white world and haven't learned how to tell colors apart yet. You can't figure out the correct usage of many things in the temple because this is your first time here."

  Doudou's pupils slowly enlarged, and after a few breaths, they slowly returned to normal. His voice suddenly became somewhat hollow, and he muttered: "But what does it matter? I don't care who you are, as long as you're the destined person of the Lingyue tree, I'll protect you. Whether you're Lingyue or someone else, what's the difference?"

  He smiled innocently, revealing two cute little tiger teeth, took a few steps back and looked at her gently.

  Jiang Nian looked at him with no expression, his facial lines were very rigid, even a bit stiff.

  Yes, such an important setting was forgotten. The people of the Heavenly Temple who were so loyal to death were not the Ling family, but the Lianyue tree. That tree is their faith, and they lost themselves for a lifetime for a tree that will never move. Originally, Ling Xiu was the destined person of the Lianyue tree, and naturally became the master they were loyal to.

  It's strange that people in the world believe in such things, and you'll never know why some people have strange beliefs or why these beliefs are so important to them, but that's just how it is, and they can't turn their backs on them for a lifetime.

  She thought for a moment and then smiled slightly disdainfully: "So now you consider me your master?"

  "Yes." Doudou replied without hesitation.

  "Alright, then next time I go out, I'll call you along and you have to protect me." Jiang Nian said softly, her eyebrows gentle.

  "Good." He had no objection, the Divine Tree was always right, if the Divine Tree told them to die they would die without hesitation, not living a second longer than necessary. If the Divine Tree told them to protect their master, they would use their lives to guard him, never leaving his side for even a moment. Their faith in the Divine Tree was even more steadfast than the education that Ling Xiao had been indoctrinated with since childhood.

  It was a long time before Jiang Nian nodded slightly and asked again: "Do you know why Ling Yu went to that distant wilderness before?"

  "I don't know, we servants never ask about the master's business. As long as she is safe. And at that time, we didn't even know how she slipped through our protection network and left, by the time we rushed over, the master had already become you." DouDou said somewhat casually, LingYi as the previous master, although having followed her for more than ten years, but now she was no longer the master of LiShan Tree, just like a familiar passerby.

  As long as the lychee tree is fine, it's okay if the person who planted it is gone.

  Sunlight shines through the window gap into the middle of the two, as if it has become a silver river. The soft light is faintly visible in the air, and each of them has their own thoughts... with their own secrets.

  Digression

  "Doudou: 'Master, hurry up and turn into a tree.'"

  "Why? I don't want to, every day can't move isn't it going to be a dead team?"

  "But you have to become a tree for me to protect you, how can I protect you if you're not a tree?"

  Chiang said: "......"
