The moment the Xiao family member heard this, she felt the person was looking for her.
Otherwise, why would they appear so coincidentally?
She was afraid that person would recklessly rush into the backyard and implicate Dongqing Temple, which wouldn't be good.
Although Dongqing Temple was entrusted by Shu Yu to look after her, they actually didn't know her true identity. The Daoist nuns at Dongqing Temple are people outside the mundane world, and even if there are many of them, it's still possible for Xiao Family members to sneak in over the walls.
In her nervousness, the Xiao family member decided to head down the mountain first.
After descending the mountain, she considered going to find Shu Yu, but Dongqing Temple is quite a distance from Jiangyuan County, and she couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be any accidents on the way. After thinking it over, she decided to head to the prefecture instead.
