"Wow, she's so domineering!" Ye Zhilin exclaimed, then turned to Ye Fei and asked, "Ye Fei, who is she? Is she some official sent by the court?"
Ye Fei smiled faintly. "No, this nun is a religious practitioner. She's not some lackey of the court."
"What's a religious practitioner?" Ye Zhilin asked innocently. She genuinely didn't know and wasn't trying to mock them, but her words struck a nerve with the priest and the nun.
Ye Fei chuckled and explained, "A religious practitioner is someone who has renounced worldly attachments. Nuns like her follow Buddhist teachings, emphasizing emptiness and detachment from worldly affairs. The priest, on the other hand, is a Taoist, advocating for simplicity and inaction. The philosophy runs deep, and since I'm not a practitioner myself, I can't fully explain it."
"But they don't seem as detached or inactive as you described. Are they not true practitioners?" Ye Zhilin asked curiously, her innocent questions unintentionally hitting the mark.
