Not only Chu Qinghe, but also Shui Mu Yin Ji was stunned when she saw Kumārajīva walking towards her with a smile.

"Why did this guy come over on his own initiative?"

Noticing the gazes of Chu Qinghe and Shuimu Yinji, Lianxing and Qu Feiyan also turned their heads to look.

When Qu Feiyan saw Kumārajīva walking towards them from the side, she couldn't help but exclaim "Eh!" and she, Xiao Zhao, and Lin Shiyin all looked surprised.

Only Lianxing and Wang Yuyan were puzzled.

A few breaths later, under the watchful eyes of the group, Kumārajīva slowly walked up to them, put his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, this humble monk greets you benefactors."

As he spoke, Kumārajīva's gaze swept across the faces of Chu Qinghe and the others, including the Water Mother Yin Ji.

Suddenly, he understood why he could determine the whereabouts of Chu Qinghe and his companions simply by asking around along the way.

Even Kumārajīva had to admit that Chu Qinghe and his companions were indeed strikingly good-looking, and anyone who saw them would remember them vividly.

Upon hearing the voice, Chu Qinghe smiled inwardly, then nodded and asked, "Master, is there something you need?"

Upon hearing this, Kumārajīva said, "This humble monk observes that you benefactors have full foreheads, but there is no trace of malevolence in them. I am curious, so I have come forward to inquire whether you have had any disputes with anyone in the past few days?"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Kumārajīva's words, Jellyfish Yin Ji, Lianxing, Qu Feiyan, and the other women immediately thought of what happened on Taihu Lake.

Especially Lianxing, who was unaware of Kumārajīva's identity, felt inexplicably that there was something special about Kumārajīva when her gaze fell upon him, whose face was radiant and naturally glowing, giving off the air of an enlightened monk.

But Chu Qinghe suddenly understood when he heard Kumārajīva say those words.

Others may not know, but Chu Qinghe is well aware that although the Kumārajīva in front of him is from the Great Yuan Kingdom, he has known Murong Bo of the Murong family for a long time.

Just now, Chu Qinghe thought that Kumārajīva was one of the participants in the incident at Xingzilin today.

But now it seems that Kumārajīva appeared here entirely because he was chasing after them.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Chu Qinghe's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Master, your Buddhist teachings are profound. You were even able to discover that we had previously been involved in a dispute with someone. I admire you."

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe raised his hand to Kumozhi and said, "Master, please sit down."

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Zhao, Qu Feiyan, and Lin Shiyin all moved their chairs slightly to the side.

Upon seeing this, Kumārajīva put his hands together and said, "Thank you, benefactor."

Chu Qinghe smiled gently, picked up the folding fan on the table, opened it, and fanned himself gently while saying to the waiter beside him, "Waiter, could you please serve this master some vegetarian food? I'll pay for it later."

The waiter nodded quickly and then hurried downstairs.

Kumārajīva then clasped his hands together again and said, "This humble monk thanks you, benefactor."

Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "It's nothing, Master, you don't need to worry about it."

After Kumārajīva sat down, Lianxing asked, "What did you mean by the evil aura you just mentioned, Master?"

In response to Lianxing's question, Kumārajīva said, "The five elements of a person are all generated by qi. When qi is strong, fortune rises; when qi is weak, fortune falls. If one can be calm and peaceful, qi will naturally be strong and continuous. However, evil qi arises from the heart. If evil qi is too strong, it is easy to become a demon, bewilder the mind and harm people. If evil qi condenses, one will get sick in mild cases and one's temperament will change drastically in severe cases."

Despite Kumārajīva's words, Chu Qinghe's smile remained unchanged, and he even seemed to realize something when faced with Kumārajīva's nonsensical words.

"I see."

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Since Master can see the malevolent aura emanating from us, do you have a solution?"

Kumārajīva replied, “Judging from the fact that the evil aura on you and the others is rather faint, it is not very strong. It seems that you have been involved in something that caused bloodshed but did not result in death. If you are willing to listen to me recite a Heart Sutra, this evil aura can be dispelled.”

Hearing Kumārajīva's words, Lianxing couldn't help but think of what happened on Taihu Lake again.

Thinking of the fate that had befallen her and Shuimu Yinji when they faced Murong Longcheng and Murong Fu, she looked at Kumārajīva with even greater astonishment.

"This monk seems to have some skills."

Not to mention Lianxing, even Shuimu Yinji and Qu Feiyan, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious when they looked at Kumārajīva.

A moment later, as Kumārajīva closed his eyes and softly recited the scriptures, Qu Feiyan and the other women all glanced at Chu Qinghe.

Meeting the gazes of the women, Chu Qinghe nodded slightly.

After confirming that Chu Qinghe had prepared the concealing powder for them, and after Shuimu Yinji used her true energy to envelop them, Qu Feiyan gently used her true energy to transmit her voice, "Young Master, is what Kumārajīva said true or false? Can he really see the evil aura on our bodies?"

Hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Lianxing stared at the girls in shock: "Is this guy Kumārajīva, the one who got taught a lesson by my brother-in-law twice with Pang Ban?"

After the girls nodded to Lianxing, they turned to look at Chu Qinghe again.

In response, Chu Qinghe's lazy voice rang out: "He has a good relationship with Murong Bo. He must have been a helper that Murong Bo found after we left and went to Yanziwu."

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Lianxing immediately understood that Kumārajīva's so-called evil aura was clearly nonsense.

He immediately glanced angrily at Kumārajīva, who was chanting scriptures with his eyes closed.

A few moments later, Lianxing looked at Chu Qinghe beside her and said, "Since you know, why do you still let this charlatan talk nonsense?"
