This Taoist Acolyte was a child purchased by the Taoist Nun from a family, and it didn't cost much money because the child was a boy, the family was very poor and had many children, and a boy wasn't very important to this family!
The Taoist Nun promised their family five taels of silver, and moreover, the Taoist Acolyte could return home once a year for a family visit; by following her, he could earn money and also provide financial support to his family!
At that time, the Taoist Nun was disguised as a man, and even up to now, the Taoist Acolyte by her side still does not know that his Master is a woman.
It's not that all the Taoists in the Taoist temple are women; this Taoist Nun is the only female Taoist Nun in this Taoist temple!
Of course, her status is higher than those Taoists, and all the Taoists in the Taoist temple listen to her commands.
Perhaps those Taoists also don't know she is a woman, thriving here for over a decade!
