"Father, I don't want to become a monk."

"I want to eat meat, and I want to have my hair styled beautifully."

Xiao Xi thought about the meat she loved to eat, then reached out and touched the hair on her head.

"My little Xi'er doesn't want to become a monk."

"Uh-huh"

A short while later, Qin Jue arrived at the front of the main courtyard and placed Xiao Xi'er on the ground.

"Sweetie, walk by yourself."

As he spoke, Qin Jue patted Xiao Xi'er's head. Seeing Xiao Xi'er nod, he stood up.

Xiao Xi'er held Qin Jue's hand and walked with him step by step into the main gate of the courtyard.

Upon entering the main courtyard, one sees a Buddha statue directly opposite the entrance.

Qin Jue pulled Xiao Xi'er inside.

"Benefactor, how have you been?"

"Um"

"Xi'er, this is Master Wushan."

Xiao Xi'er stepped forward, saw Master Wu Shan, and gave him a sweet smile.

"Hello, Master Wushan!"

"Greetings, young benefactor."

Wu Shan lowered his head and gave Xiao Xi'er a faint smile as he spoke.

"whee"

"Xi'er, go and light some incense."

Qin Jue pulled Xiao Xi'er's hand and tugged at the Buddha statue diagonally in front of her.

"Oh~"

"But Daddy, I don't know how!"

"Young benefactor, this humble monk will teach you."

At this moment, Qin Jue released Xiao Xi'er's hand and nodded to her.

Xiao Xi'er then looked at the monk who had just spoken.

Okay, thank you!

"You're too kind, young benefactor."

The monk clasped his hands together and bowed to Xiao Xi'er.

Then, leading Xiao Xi'er to the Buddha statue, he said, "Please wait a moment, young benefactor."

After saying this, the little monk walked to the side, took out a futon for kneeling, and placed it in front of Xiao Xi'er. Then he took three incense sticks and lit them.

The little monk handed three incense sticks to Xiaoxi'er.

"Young benefactor, would you like me to bow three times like this, and then place the incense sticks in the incense burner?"

"Aoao"

Seeing the little monk's actions, Xiao Xi'er started to imitate him in a similar manner.

Seeing Xiao Xi'er imitating the little monk, Wu Shan glanced at Qin Jue beside him and said indifferently.

"I never expected that you, a benefactor who doesn't believe in Buddhism, would send your young benefactor to worship Buddha."

"Oh"

“I don’t believe in Buddhism and I never worship Buddha, but she helped you build this place.”

“I am not a Buddhist, but if my daughter were, I would support her.”

Qin Jue sneered upon hearing Wu Shan's words.

Then, her gaze softened as she looked at Xiao Xi'er, and as if recalling something, she answered Wu Shan softly.

"But it's still as deserted as ever."

"Benefactor, whether it's quiet or bustling, this is a temple."

Those who are sincere will come uninvited; those who are not sincere will not come; and those who do not believe will not come at all.

"You bald monk, but you see clearly."

"You flatter me, benefactor."

After Wu Shan finished speaking, he also looked at Xiao Xi'er who was standing there.

After bowing three times, I walked to the front of the Buddha statue and looked up at it.

Then she turned to look at the little monk, who smiled and took the incense from Xiao Xi'er's hand.

Thank you!

"You're welcome"

The young monk placed the incense sticks into the incense burner.

After Xiao Xi'er finished offering incense, she ran to Qin Jue and hugged his leg tightly.

"Father, I've finished offering incense."

"Isn't it amazing?"

"sharp"

Qin Jue reached out and patted Xiao Xi'er's head, then bent down and picked her up in his arms.

"Would you like to stay the night, benefactor?"

"What, are you rushing my daughter and me down the mountain so soon?"

"You're joking, benefactor."

Qin Jue carried Xiao Xi'er away from the main hall.

"Liao Hui, go and prepare a room for the benefactor."

"Yes, Master."

The young monk, Hui, who had just taught Xiaoxi how to offer incense, responded to Wushan's words and then went out.

Qin Jue did not take Xiao Xi'er back to the meditation room Hui had prepared, but instead led her to another side.

Seeing that they were going further and further astray, Xiao Xi looked at Qin Jue with a curious gaze.

"Would you like to eat some pheasant?"

"ah?"

Qin Jue rarely saw Xiao Xi'er so bewildered by food, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Would you like some roasted pheasant?"

"I want to~"

Having heard clearly this time, Xiaoxi'er said "I want to" without hesitation.

"Okay, shall we go catch some pheasants and grill them for dinner?"

Okay~

"Mu ah"

Xiao Xi'er happily kissed Qin Jue on the cheek.

Qin Jue was delighted by Xiao Xi'er's kiss and used his lightness skill to carry her towards the woods.

Zou Heng, who was behind, saw this and quickly followed Qin Jue's steps.

When Sanhezi saw that one or two of them had left using their light-footed skills, he was dumbfounded.

After being stunned, he immediately shouted.

"Commander Zou, Commander Zou, wait for this old servant!"

"Take this old servant with you, Commander Zou."

Sanhezi chased after Qin Jue and Zou Heng in the direction they had left, calling out Zou Heng's name as he went.

A moment later, Zou Heng returned and grabbed Sanhezi by the collar.

“Zou Tong…”

Sanhezi saw that Zou Heng hadn't even spoken before he lifted her up, and she started screaming in fright.

"Ah—, so high—"

"Ah—, slower—slower!"

Unfortunately, Zou Heng ignored Sanhezi and continued to carry him using his light-footed skills.

"Daddy, you fly so fast!"

"Yeah?"

"Uh-huh"

Little Xi nodded vigorously, "Daddy, I want to learn to fly too!"
