Chapter 346 Master Shanhui almost broke down

"Unfortunately, Benefactor Lin, I was waiting for you here specifically, but you didn't give me the time of day. I had no choice but to come and invite you in person."

When Master Shanhui heard Lin Luoxi say that he was becoming more and more beautiful, the compassionate smile on his face paused for a moment, but only for a moment, and he quickly resumed his usual compassionate smile.

Master Shanhui may know that Lin Luoxi is cursing him in her heart, but he always wears a compassionate smile on his face.

In her heart, she was chanting a calming mantra, trying her best to calm her Buddhist heart, which was on the verge of breaking down.

However, seeing the stiff smile on Lin Luoxi's face made him feel much more at ease.

It seems I swindled too much gold from this girl last time, making her want to run away as soon as she hears his name.

Considering how timid this girl is, I'll swindle her less this time.

As Lin Luoxi had guessed correctly, nothing good ever came of Master Shanhui's appearance.

"You'd better stop smiling. You have a compassionate smile on your face, but why does it give me the creeps?" Lin Luoxi said, rubbing her arms, feeling extremely uneasy because of Master Shanhui's smile.

Master Shanhui, who was always regarded as unfathomable, froze again after Lin Luoxi said that.

That girl's mouth is as sharp as ever. He shouldn't have come out in person. No, that's not right.

He shouldn't have been so soft-hearted just now, saying he wanted to swindle less. He should have swindled more to make up for his emotional distress.

“Luo Xi, you mustn’t be rude. This is a famous master.”

"Since the master says he has something to say to you, then go ahead, we'll wait for you here..."

The old princess was unaware of the connection between Lin Luoxi and Master Shanhui. When she saw Master Shanhui personally come to invite Lin Luoxi, she thought it was an opportunity for Lin Luoxi and kept urging Lin Luoxi to go with Master Shanhui.

Xie Hanchuan, who knew about the deal between Lin Luoxi and Master Shanhui, saw that the smile on Master Shanhui's face was not one of compassion, but rather one filled with deep calculation.

He probably heard that Lin Luoxi went up the mountain and wanted to scheme against his wife again.

"Master, since you want to say a few words to my wife, and I am her husband, I should have the right to listen!" He wanted to see what this monk was trying to trick his wife this time.

"Okay, if you don't want my man to come along, then I won't go." Lin Luoxi nodded. She didn't want to be alone with this monk, lest she be tricked into having nothing left but her underwear.

"Alright, let's go!" Master Shanhui could only nod in agreement as he watched the young couple working together.

Master Shanhui agreed to let Xie Hanchuan go with them, while Lin Luoxi pulled Xie Hanchuan along and followed behind Master Shanhui.

We continued towards the back mountain of Huguo Temple, stopping at the Prajna Hall where Master Shanhui resided.

“Master Shanhui, I’ve noticed that you know how to enjoy life. You always choose places with beautiful scenery. No wonder you’re getting more and more beautiful.”

"When I get back, I'll decorate my place beautifully, and maybe I'll become more and more beautiful too..."

Lin Luoxi stood at the entrance of the Prajna Hall, looking at a small water channel under the bridge. It seemed to be filled with spring water drawn down from the mountain, and many small fish were swimming happily in it.

Across the small bridge, the flowers in full bloom and the trees in lush greenery on the back hill are clearly visible, and egrets can be seen taking off and landing from time to time, showing that the environment here is very nurturing.

“Hehe… If Lin Shizhu likes it, she can stay here for a while longer…” Master Shanhui turned around and saw Lin Luoxi looking at the scenery around his Prajna Hall with delight in her eyes, and made the suggestion.

"Alright, master, let's get straight to the point. How much money are you trying to swindle from me this time? Or what are you planning to do next?"

"I'll decide whether I want to stay here for a few nights after I know what you want to do."

How many more nights? This Master Shanhui is just like a monkey in the mountains, so cunning. She tried to scam her as soon as she showed her face. If she stays a few more nights, her savings will be completely drained.

“Hehe… Since Benefactor Lin has put it that way, then I will get straight to the point.”

“Our Huguo Temple has been established for many years, and I would like to renovate it, especially the Buddha statue. It would be even better if it could be gilded like the one at Heiyan Temple…”

"Mr. Lin, you must have made a lot of money these past few years. If you donate some, Buddha will surely bless you with everything going smoothly and all your wishes coming true..."

Seeing that Lin Luoxi spoke first, Master Shanhui immediately made an outrageous demand…

When Xie Hanchuan heard Master Shanhui's words, he felt that this bald monk had a lot of nerve, repeatedly asking his wife to pay for things, as if she were a money-making machine, always asking for renovations and a gilded statue.

Don't think they don't know that this Huguo Temple covers hundreds of acres, and the buildings and Buddha statues inside must have required an enormous amount of gold to construct...

Thinking of this, Xie Hanchuan wanted to stand up and refute Master Shanhui's shameless words.

For some reason, Xie Hanchuan opened his mouth several times but didn't make a sound. He watched Lin Luoxi and Master Shanhui's mouths opening and closing, not knowing what they were saying.

All that is known is that Master Shanhui spoke to Lin Luoxi for a long time, and Lin Luoxi fell silent. In the end, tears kept flowing down her face.

Xie Hanchuan couldn't hear their voices at all, and he couldn't open his mouth to speak, as if he was bound by something.

When Xie Hanchuan was able to speak, he heard Lin Luoxi agree to Master Shanhui's conditions, and their discussion was nearing its end.

"Brother Hanchuan, let's go!" After agreeing to Master Shanhui's conditions, Lin Luoxi pulled Xie Hanchuan and walked outside.

"Wife, what did Master Shanhui say to you?" After arriving at the Prajna Hall, Xie Hanchuan suppressed his discomfort and asked.

"Huh? Brother Hanchuan, weren't you right next to me the whole time?" Lin Luoxi asked curiously after hearing Xie Hanchuan's words.

She thought Xie Hanchuan knew what Master Shanhui had told her.

Xie Hanchuan looked at Lin Luoxi and recalled how he had been bound by something in the hall, separating her from Master Shanhui's conversation.

Therefore, he couldn't hear Lin Luoxi and Master Shanhui's conversation at all.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why you didn't say a word in my defense, and I got swindled out of so much gold by that bald monk again."

"No, I can't be the only one to suffer this loss." Hearing Xie Hanchuan say this, Lin Luoxi felt that this Master Shanhui was indeed quite capable.

With a quick glance around, as if she had thought of something, she immediately pulled Xie Hanchuan back to Lin Lingtian's group.

"Girls, what does the master want with you?" Lin Lingtian was genuinely curious.

“Yes, does it mean you’re not destined for mediocrity and will achieve great things in the future…” Lin Wentao imagined the scene he had seen in the play.
