Truth with Lies

Shreya 

I walked steadily with the nuns that I had just met. Since we are heading towards the candle-lighting temple, I am reminding myself that this is not the same life as before, and I am eager to know what causes the curse to be a success or a failure.

Supposedly I must not trust whatever they say. Still, they are nuns that are serving the heavens with their prayers. How would they lie? This is the new reality for me, to be the Hui Ying Au that Lianhuahua said. 

I turned to face the direction of where I got separated from Lianhuahua. 

Then a nun on my left side called out a name from a distance; curious about the new person, I had to look back, and I saw a pure white hanfu with an extra midnight blue cloth as a belt. 

"Here, "Another nun is heading towards me while holding a basket. "Have some bread while it is still hot." She said and pleasingly smiled at me. 

I gently took the bread from her hand, "Thank you." I smiled back.
