Chi Qiangwei said, "No, your cultivation is too shallow. A place like a temple would expose your true nature."

Upon hearing this, the daisies and morning glories immediately shrank back.

The two women said awkwardly, "Sister Rose, we'll be waiting for you to come back in the mountains."

"good."

...

Inside the temple.

"You flower spirit, what are you doing at the temple again!"

"Are you trying to get Master Fanze to save your sweetheart again?"

Chi Qiangwei smiled at Song Fanze, completely ignoring his two disciples beside her as if she hadn't heard what they were saying.

Song Fanze said calmly, "What brings you here again, benefactor?"

Chi Qiangwei: "Nothing much. I'm here to worship Buddha and offer incense today, and I'm staying here for a few days. You don't have any objections, do you?"

The junior disciple couldn't help but say, "It would be a miracle if I believed you came here to offer incense."

Song Fanze said, "Xiao Tian, ​​then prepare a guest room for this pilgrim."

The young disciple was somewhat displeased upon hearing this, but Master Fanze was a man of his word, so he had no choice but to go down and prepare a guest room for her.

This is a large temple. Because of the presence of eminent monks here, it is very popular, with a constant stream of worshippers coming to offer incense. There are also countless pilgrims staying here.

Song Fanze was not only a highly respected monk, but his youthful and handsome appearance also attracted many female pilgrims.

Song Fanze lived in a relatively quiet and secluded place, with two disciples guarding the entrance. It was extremely difficult for female pilgrims to get in.

Therefore, they could only wait outside for Master Fanze to come out.

When Chi Qiangwei came out of her room, all the pilgrims instinctively looked at her.

Their eyes sized her up, as if they couldn't believe that such a beautiful girl had also come for Master Fanze.

Chi Qiangwei was unaware of their thoughts. After settling in and offering incense to Buddha, she headed towards Song Fanze's bedroom.

All eyes turned to her as she headed towards Master Fanze.

Someone couldn't help but remind her, "Young lady, Master Fanze's residence is not easily entered by others."

Chi Qiangwei smiled politely at the kind female pilgrim and said, "Thank you."

Then she walked to the door of her two disciples and said, "Please make an exception for me, young masters. I have something to discuss with Master Fanze."

They glanced at Chi Qiangwei and knew that she was an old acquaintance of Master Fanze.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "Let's go and consult Master Fanze first."

One of the disciples went in, and came out a short while later.

He saw Chi Qiangwei waiting for him with bright, sparkling eyes. She put her hands together and said with reluctance, "Master Fanze is currently worshipping Buddha and it is not appropriate for outsiders to disturb him for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Chi Qiangwei showed a somewhat disappointed expression.

But she couldn't just give up like that. She hadn't really come to the temple to burn incense and pray. If she couldn't see Song Fanze, there was no point in her staying there.

She paced back and forth at the door, then a thought suddenly struck her.

“Then you should go and tell Master Fanze that I have agreed to his request to come and cultivate under his tutelage.”

The disciple was taken aback for a moment, then went back inside.

After a while, he came out again, put his hands together and said, "Benefactor, Master Fanze invites you in."

Chi Qiangwei's eyes lit up.

That actually worked.

She quickly went inside.

The other worshippers looked surprised when they saw this.

This was the first time they had ever seen Master Fanze let someone in, and it was a woman no less.

The woman was simply too beautiful, but they also knew that Master Fanze was not one to value appearances.

Chi Qiangwei walked in and pushed open the innermost door. She then saw Song Fanze sitting cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed, holding prayer beads in his hand, tapping a wooden fish, and chanting Buddhist scriptures.

She walked over and sat quietly beside him without disturbing him.

After a while, she got bored and her gaze began to wander around the entire meditation room.

The room was very simple; she could count the items on her fingers. There was also a faint sandalwood scent in the air.

Seeing that he hadn't finished reciting the Buddhist scriptures, she quietly moved to the desk next to her.

On it were scriptures copied by Song Fanze. She picked them up and took a look.

His handwriting is elegant and beautiful, flowing smoothly, just like him.

There were several thick stacks of scriptures on the shelf next to her, and she casually picked one up and started flipping through it.

She counted the words on it, some of which she didn't recognize.

Moreover, the characters in these Buddhist scriptures are too complicated, and they are difficult for her to read.

Because she couldn't understand the scriptures, she put the book on the table and then lay down on it out of boredom, gradually falling asleep.

As she drifted off to sleep, she thought she heard the chanting stop.

When she woke up, she saw that she was wearing a coat, which was Song Fanze's robe.

She was somewhat surprised, got up, took the robe down, folded it neatly, and placed it on the desk.

He went outside and found Song Fanze sitting in the outer room, holding a book and reading it.

Seeing this, Chi Qiangwei scratched her head sheepishly. She had just come in and ended up falling asleep here.

"Master Fanze".

Hearing the voice, Song Fanze looked up at her, then lowered his head to continue reading. "Now that you're awake, please have your meal."

Upon hearing this, Chi Qiangwei glanced at the steaming hot food placed beside her.

She couldn't help but touch her slightly hungry stomach, thinking to herself that Song Fanze was really thoughtful, even knowing that she needed to eat after waking up.

She walked over, sat down cross-legged, and then picked up her chopsticks to eat heartily.

In no time, she finished the food in front of her.

Although she is a demon, she doesn't really care much about food and drink; she can eat her fill by absorbing the morning dew every day.

But after entering the mortal world to find Xu An, she adapted to local customs and followed the daily routines and diet of ordinary people, and gradually she got used to it.

She felt herself becoming more and more like a human being.

Seeing that Song Fanze didn't speak, she took the initiative to say, "Thank you for bringing the meal, and I'm also sorry for accidentally falling asleep earlier."

Song Fanze put down the book in his hand and said, "Have you thought it through?"

Upon hearing this, she didn't react for a moment. "What did you say?"

Song Fanze paused for a moment, then said, "You said you wanted to come and cultivate by my side."

"About this matter," she said, feeling rather guilty, and gave an awkward smile.

"Well, what do I need to do every day? Also, I'll be living at home from now on, since I have a sick person at home to take care of."

Song Fanze said, "Now all you need to do is come here every day to read Buddhist scriptures and meditate."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, "You can go back to see your family members every day. If you don't want to sleep in the temple, you need to go to the temple before dawn every day to worship Buddha and meditate with the other disciples."
