Chapter 129: Trembling Relatives

After a while, Jiang Jiu took several steps back as if waking up from a dream, allowing the two of them to keep a safe distance away. However, she didn't dare to meet Xiao Nianzhong's eyes afterwards, and she felt shy.

She felt that she was becoming increasingly abnormal.

I once vowed that I would not accept them and was unwilling to be a substitute, but now I have been slapped in the face.

Jiang Jiu was in tears, but he didn't show it on the surface and continued to pretend that nothing had happened.

Xiao Nianzhong watched Jiang Jiu dodge away, feeling somewhat frustrated.

As expected, his looks had no effect on Jiang Jiu. In this case, it would be difficult for him to pursue his wife in the future.

Neither of them noticed the other's thoughts, and the distance between them widened. No one continued to ask questions or go deeper.

Knowing that Xiao Nianzhong had not done anything illegal, Jiang Jiu felt relieved.

Finally I can go back and concentrate on studying.

At that time, she didn't know the place, and other men were also working hard to develop their careers and strive for what Jiang Jiu said was "not breaking the law."

They have already assumed that they will be living in modern times with ginger wine, so it is a good choice to know something about it in advance.

At least when the time comes, the disguised identity won't be exposed so easily.

On the other side, Jiang Jiu’s three relatives were being imprisoned in a temple in the suburbs, and Fo Jiang was sitting right in front of them.

Fojiang's compassionate and merciful yet handsome face made him look like an exquisite Buddha statue at first glance, but only the three people kneeling in front of him knew how terrifying this guy was.

The cries for mercy echoed in the temple, but Fojiang sat there quietly with his eyes closed, peaceful and quiet, as if no one was disturbing him.

"Please let us go! We will never harass Jiang Jiu again!"

"Please have mercy on us. Please forgive our recklessness and greed!"

"She is right. No one will bother her anymore! Buddha, please spare her, Buddha, please spare her!"

In the corner on the other side of the temple, there was actually a man with empty eyes and a dull expression. He was Jiang Jiu's biological father, Jiang Hai. When the three of them kowtowed and begged for mercy, their eyes would occasionally meet Jiang Hai, and the fear in their hearts would instantly double.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see how abnormal Jiang Hai was now. It was as if his soul had been sucked out. Although he wasn't dead yet, he seemed worse than dead.

A vegetative person cannot move, but he is like an empty shell.

No one could have imagined that a monk who looked so good actually had such ability. It was obvious that this was not the Buddhist Dharma that a normal monk could master. It must be some evil way.

Thinking of this, they became even more afraid, fearing that they would end up in the same situation as Jiang Hai.

Who knows if his soul was extracted and used to make elixirs or as a puppet.

Although the novel is fictional, people cannot write about things that are not recorded, so it is very likely that those rumors are true, and then they are really miserable.

Thinking of this, they begged for mercy even more vigorously, just wanting Fo Jiang to let them go quickly.

As for ginger wine, they would never think about it again, nor dare they think about it.

At that time, the door of the temple suddenly opened, and a slender figure walked in from outside. The three people stopped begging for mercy and looked towards the door with a glimmer of hope in their eyes, wanting to see if the person who came could save them.

Unexpectedly, the next second, they heard the man say.

"You haven't done anything yet? Why? Are you afraid that Jiujiu will find out?"

There was a hint of teasing and cruelty in Long Xuan's tone. He didn't seem like the pure Dragon Prince when facing Jiang Jiu at all, but rather another true self, the Dragon Lord of the Dragon Clan.

"Persuasion takes time. Using violence would go against Buddhist principles."

When Fo Jiang heard the voice, he slowly opened his eyes and spoke in a light tone, making it impossible to hear his emotions.

"Is this your enlightenment?"

Long Xuan glanced at the three terrified faces. There were no wounds on their bodies, but it was obvious that they must have just experienced something terrible.

"Experience is part of a person's cultivation."

Fo Jiang also saw how miserable they were, but still explained in a calm tone.

"Tsk, it's you again, you sanctimonious bald donkey."

Long Xuan curled his lips and mocked Fo Jiang in a bad mood, then turned to look at Jiang Hai who was lying beside the pillar with an amused look.

"Oh~ They left him to you."

His voice echoed in the temple hall, sounding strange and eerie.

"I didn't handle it, I just dropped it here."

Fo Jiang glanced at Jiang Hai before speaking.

"Oh, that fox's methods are quite cruel. Although he looks so cool and graceful, he is actually a dark person."

Long Xuan touched his chin and criticized his love rival sharply, using no uncertain terms.

"What are you doing here?"

Fo Jiang pursed his lips before asking.

"Nothing. Are you planning to stay as the abbot of this temple forever? Are you not planning to do anything else?"

Long Xuan was speechless. He came here with good intentions to show his concern for him, but why was he treated like an uninvited guest?

"Well, nothing else."

Fojiang's tone did not fluctuate

"Okay."

Long Xuan curled his lips, found a cushion to sit on, and nodded his chin in the direction of Jiang Hai.

"How do you plan to deal with him? He's Jiujiu's biological father after all. Wouldn't it be bad to just kill him?"

What he said sounded like a casual chat, but the people kneeling on the ground trembled with fear, as if they had foreseen their own future.

When these two people were talking, they didn't even dare to beg for mercy. They kept their eyes closed for fear of angering Fo Jiang.

This monk looks kind, but in fact he is like a devil. Thinking of what happened just now, they couldn't help but shiver. If they didn't know they couldn't run away, they would rush out of the temple even if they used all their strength.

Anywhere is fine, as long as it's not here.

"Buddhists never kill."

Fo Jiang clasped his hands together and chanted scriptures. He looked serious and had no murderous intention at all.

"Do you think I will believe it?"

Long Xuan was completely paralyzed. When he knew that Jiang Jiu was going to sacrifice himself for the world, this guy chose to let the world collapse in order to save Jiujiu.

Although he also made this choice, for a monk who doesn't care about the lives of the people in the world, killing one person makes no difference whether he kills several people. What he said is not credible at all.

"Throw him back to the debt collectors."

Finally, Fo Jiang was silent for a moment and expressed his idea, a very feasible plan.

Long Xuan understood.

"But this guy is already like this. His soul must have been crushed by that fox. It's a pity that he didn't suffer the pain of being beaten by debt collectors."

There was deep disappointment in his tone, as if he felt uncomfortable if he couldn't see Jiang Hai suffering.

In fact, this is true.

Thinking of everything Jiang Jiu had been through, Long Xuan couldn't even control the murderous intent in his heart.
