"It's Senior Brother Aman."

Ultimately, the chaotic identification process ended with Zenko, who had remained silent and uninvolved, making his own identification.

With Lu Xiaoyao's help, everyone was busy and organized before the food was put into the pot. Mingmei and Meijiu were treated like real children by Lu Xiaoyao, who cut three pieces of carrot and gave them to the two sisters and Changuang.

This method of coaxing children left the three little ones speechless.

However, the three who didn't cook ended up sitting in a row at the door. Who would want to cook when they could just eat what was served?

"By the way, what are you doing here so late?" Mingmei asked Mei Jiu and Chan Guang first.

"I wasn't full from drinking the honey water, and my mother was still chatting with the sect leader, so I decided to come to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat."

Mei Jiu's habit of treating the kitchen as her second home doesn't change even when she's away from home, so it's understandable that she comes over late at night.

"And you?" After Mei Jiu finished speaking, Mingmei didn't forget to call out to Chan Guang. Chan Guang seemed not to have expected Mingmei to notice him. His hand, which was twirling the prayer beads, paused slightly. He turned to look at Mingmei and slowly said, "I noticed that the two senior brothers were sneaking out of the dormitory, so I followed them to check..."

Upon seeing this, he simply appeared openly in front of Charlie and the others, which led to everything that Mingmei and Lu Xiaoyao had just witnessed.

"Are you sure? Add a spoonful of salt?"

"No, it says 'appropriate amount of salt'."

"How much is 'appropriate amount'?"

"Is that good enough?"

"Then...like this?"

"Want some more?"

"so?"

"Okay, that's settled! Since we're adding everything, it shouldn't taste bad."

Just as the three of them were chatting at the kitchen door to build rapport, their conversation suddenly broke into everyone's ears from inside the kitchen.

What does "add a little of everything, it shouldn't taste bad" mean? Mingmei suddenly felt a little scared when she heard this, and she felt that she probably shouldn't have any expectations for this meal tonight.

It's getting late.

Suddenly, Chan Guang stood up and said goodbye, "Since my senior brothers are just having a meal, I won't disturb them any longer."

After saying that, Zenguang turned around and hurriedly left the spot. He didn't look like someone who was alright at all.

Why was he walking so fast?

Mei Jiu watched Chan Guang's departing figure, pouted, and said, "How strange. He suddenly appeared just now, and then ran away without saying goodbye. Why did he run away, sis?"

"Ah... run if you can~" To be honest, after the conversation just now, Mingmei also wanted to run away, but when she met Mei Jiu's puzzled eyes, she decided to give a more plausible reason, "I heard that Buddhist cultivators all have a seventh sense."

"The seventh sense?"

"It's just that—he might have 'seen' something."

After saying that, a bright memory suddenly came to mind: Zen Light seemed to have the ability to see the future, or more accurately, to see cause and effect.

...

Wishing you smooth sailing.

Mingmei suddenly remembered what Zenguang looked like when he grew up; his smile looked even more genuine than it does now.

The Zen-like smile in the game appears even more Buddhist, but Mingmei doesn't think this is a good thing.

Those who cultivate immortality are ultimately mortals of flesh and blood; being overly Buddhist is merely imprisoning themselves.

Sculpting yourself into a clay figure might garner praise from others, but whether that praise reflects your true feelings is another matter entirely.

She remembered that just when she was about to ascend to heaven with her parents and leave that world, Zenko suddenly ran to see her.

He told her some things she had never known before.

You will be happy. I see it, you will be happy, in the future...

The young Buddhist monk, dressed in an apricot-white robe, looked at me with gentle eyes and his lips moved slightly.

It seemed there were words left unsaid, but in the end, they only turned into a long sigh. He stood there with his hands clasped together, the string of prayer beads shining brightly in the sunlight, so brightly that it seemed as if he could smell something burning...

Burnt smell?

"Aaaaaaah!! Fire!! Fire!"

Mingmei immediately snapped out of her daze and saw flames flickering in the kitchen, with thick smoke drifting towards the door.

Before Mei Jiu could rush in, she heard a soft shout: "Don't be afraid. Behold my water ball technique!"

"Oops!"

Upon hearing this, Mingmei grabbed Mei Jiu, who was about to rush inside, and turned around to run in the opposite direction of the kitchen with Mei Jiu. This kitchen was no longer safe!

...

"Fine, you guys, can't you just leave me alone for a day?"

Mei Shi, who was discussing matters with Yuehua, the head of Bibo Yaoshan, was startled by the news brought by her disciples.

Mei Jiu, along with her disciples and monks from Lianhua Temple, destroyed someone's kitchen.

It was completely destroyed. First, there was a big fire, then a flood, and the house collapsed.

Not only was Mei Shi speechless, but those who came to bail out their friend ended up confirming that their temple did indeed have problems.

The elder of the Discipline Hall, who was forced to stay and assist in the investigation, now knew that two of the disciples who came to "rescue" him had stepped forward to cause trouble. The muscles hidden under his monk's robe were already eager to tense up and beat people up!

Can't these little guys just stay still for a moment?!

"No, Mother, my sister and I didn't cook. We just waited for our food at the door."

The fact that Mei Jiu and Ming Mei were dressed neatly at this moment was completely opposite to the disheveled appearance of the three people who ran out of the house, so this statement was indeed quite credible.

"How can you be so obsessed with your gluttony?!" The elder of Lianhua Temple looked fierce, feeling that Charlie and Madison's behavior was utterly shameful.
