Miss Cousin Wants to Become a Monk

Chapter 116 Uncovered

Xie Miao soon discovered the clues.

Miao Ru appeared around her more frequently than before, and they still didn't talk much, but Xie Miao was not stupid and could notice the difference between her and ordinary nuns from the subtle details.

Without mentioning her basic appearance and height, it can only be said that she had a brisk pace, quick movements, and her palms were covered with a thick layer of calluses. They did not seem like the thin calluses left by ordinary work, but rather like the thick calluses left by years of physical work or martial arts practice.

Looking at Qingxin Temple, everyone is doing cleaning and laundry work, which is hard work but not burdensome.

Xie Miao even accidentally saw Miao Ru slip and about to fall, but she was still able to twist her body, spin in the air, and land steadily on the ground.

...

Xie Miao found it hard to convince herself that Miao Ru is just an ordinary nun. Even after she asked the disciples of Qingxin Temple, she couldn't find anything strange.

After much thought, she decided to test Miao Ru.

Every formal temple has a Sutra Library, and Qingxin Temple is no exception. When Xie Miao first asked for work, Master Hui Jue suggested that she go to the Sutra Library to sort out books, but Xie Miao flatly refused.

How can such an elegant job as organizing books be considered as hard practice?

Now Xie Miao changed her mind and took the initiative to ask to go to the Sutra Library. Master Hui Jue, who had been entrusted by several people, readily agreed.

Compared to ordinary rooms, the Sutra Library is deeper and wider. It has three floors, each floor is nearly ten feet high, and the sunken wood bookcases are built directly into the wall. The dense and regular compartments are filled with new and old scriptures.

What Xie Miao had to do was to put the scriptures returned by the disciples back to their original places, and take out the scriptures that the nuns would need for their lectures the next day.

Compared to physical work such as cleaning and washing clothes, Xie Miao could easily do the job of organizing books.

After she got the general idea from the sister who managed the Sutra Library, she began to sort the books. Because the bookcases were too high, there was a ladder in the library to facilitate access to the books at any time.

Xie Miao looked around, moved the ladder to the middle of the bookcase, and quietly stuffed two cushions in the corner.

The next step is to wait and see whether Miao Ru will accept the challenge.

After making the arrangements, Xie Miao calmed down and concentrated on organizing the scriptures.

When it was time for lunch, the senior sister from the Sutra Library invited Xie Miao to have lunch with her. Xie Miao wanted to agree, but suddenly changed her mind: "I'm not hungry yet, Senior Sister, go first."

The senior sister did not insist and left after reminding her to be careful.

Xie Miao glanced at the sky outside. It was noon and everyone should be having lunch. If there is really an issue with Miao Ru, she would notice her absence, and would take the opportunity to come here and work with her.

Hope that she...

Xie Miao sighed softly, shifted her gaze back to the book, and immersed herself in it again.

After an unknown amount of time, there was the slight sound of footsteps outside the door. Xie Miao lowered her eyes, and even her breathing slowed down. She tried to suppress the urge to turn around, and counted silently in her heart: one, two, three, four, five——
