Chapter 228 What’s wrong with gossip?
"What should I do?" Wu Chen was very worried.
"This old monk is quite stubborn! That's just him. It's useless if someone else begs me on their knees! Xiao Ye, what's the point of that saying? Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by God. Since the old monk is unwilling, let's just go. What's more, force him to save someone? This is blood, not water!" Qing Yi said, citing scriptures.
"Amitabha, very good, very good, young man, please don't leave, we will think of a way to persuade the abbot." Wu Chen was afraid that Qing Yi would leave and lose the opportunity to save the abbot.
"Then you think of a way. I have no other options. I can't possibly put my hand in his mouth and force him to bite it, right?" Qing Yi shook his head and sat down on a stone block nearby.
"Get up!" Ye Qingyu saw Qing Yi sitting there in a very ungraceful manner, which was really ungentlemanly.
"Uh..." Qing Yi looked at Xiao Ye and thought: What's wrong? Can't I just sit for a while? Of course, although he didn't understand, he stood up quickly.
"Master Wuchen, it's getting late. Let's go down the mountain first and come back tomorrow." Ye Qingyu thought for a while and said.
"Going down the mountain? Why don't you two stay overnight at the temple? We still have vacant guest rooms." Wu Chen was worried that they would not come back after leaving, so he tried his best to keep them.
"No, no, we'll stay at an inn at the foot of the mountain." Qing Yi quickly refused. Forget it if he stayed here!
"We'll definitely come tomorrow. Although it hasn't been announced publicly, I'm still a Shaolin disciple. How could I just stand by and watch Master Yunxu treat him?" Ye Qingyu reassured Wu Chen. He didn't stay at the temple because he was concerned that given Qingyi's behavior, he wouldn't dare sleep alone at night and would definitely look for him. There were many things wrong with this important Buddhist place.
"Amitabha! The young prince is thoughtful." Wu Chen chanted the Buddha's name and bowed to Ye Qingyu.
"Master Wuchen, please stay." Ye Qingyu and Qingyi left Shaolin Temple under Wuchen's gaze and expectation.
On the way back, Qing Yi asked, "Xiao Ye, there's something strange about Master Yunxu's poison? Could it really have been poisoned by someone from Shaolin Temple?"
"It shouldn't be like this. Master Yunxu is a humble person, has great martial arts skills, is respected, and has no enemies. Why would he poison him?" Ye Qingyu was also thinking about this.
"Could it be that someone is coveting his position as abbot and trying to murder him in order to seize power?" Qing Yi guessed, but after he said that, he found that Ye Qingyu was staring at him with a slight smile.
"What are you looking at, Xiaoye? Do I look good?" Qingyi didn't care why Ye Qingyu laughed at him, and blurted out teasing words.
"...Qing Yi, I didn't expect you to be so scheming and know how to seize power?" Ye Qingyu ignored Qing Yi's teasing and started joking.
"Hahahaha, I've been following you recently, so I'm more or less influenced by you!" Qing Yi laughed.
"Me? Are you saying I'm Machiavellian?"
“Of course, is the Little Prince of the Northwest a silly rabbit?”
"You are the silly rabbit!" Ye Qingyu retorted casually.
The two walked and talked and returned to the inn.
"Master, you are back!" Qingqing was sitting and standing, waiting for the master who had not returned yet. He seemed very anxious. Suddenly, he heard someone talking outside the house. He opened the door and saw that it was indeed the master and Qingyi who came back.
"Yeah." Ye Qingyu responded and hurried to prepare tea.
"Where's Qingfeng?" Qingyi couldn't help but ask when he didn't see Qingfeng. Ye Qingyu didn't know where Qingfeng had gone. He just asked Qingfeng and Qingqing to wait at the inn and didn't give any other instructions.
After a while, she came in with a teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ye Qingyu and Qingyi respectively.
"Where did Qingfeng go?" Qingyi asked softly.
"I don't know. I haven't seen him since the afternoon." She answered softly. She thought that it was the master who sent Qingfeng out, but it seemed that the master didn't know Qingfeng's whereabouts.
"Hey, where could Qingfeng go? Is he secretly wandering around Yuzhong by himself?" Qingyi guessed.
At this moment, the door opened and two people came in. Qing Yi looked over, widened his eyes, and stood up immediately.
The one who came in was Qingfeng, and of course there was also an acquaintance, the Demon Lord!
"Hey, Master, why are you here?" Qing Yi asked in surprise.
"Haha, it's just a chance encounter." The Demon Lord smiled awkwardly and sat down on the stool where Qing Yi had just sat.
Ye Qingyu and Qingyi's gazes turned to Qingfeng at the same time, "Something is wrong, there must be something going on inside." Qingfeng's face was expressionless, and no emotion could be seen. He just bowed and greeted Ye Qingyu respectfully.
"Master, you came out earlier than us, why are you only here now?" Qing Yi was respectful and tried every means to find out the inside story.
"How fast can you go if you're just strolling around without rushing?" The Demon Lord drank the tea that Qingqing had just poured for Qingyi. He tasted it and it was not bad. It was not the tea sold outside, but should be the royal tribute tea.
"Then how did you know we live here?" Qing Yi obediently filled the teacup for the master.
"You are too stupid, kid. Didn't you see who I came in with? Of course it was Qingfeng who said that!" The Demon Lord rolled his eyes at his disciple and talked nonsense.
"Um, I mean, how did you meet? What a coincidence?" Qing Yi always felt that the Demon Lord was a little uncomfortable, and a curious heart began to rise.
"You little brat, are you interrogating your master? I'm tired. Go book a room. I need to rest. I have to travel in a hurry tomorrow!" The Demon Lord didn't want to pay attention to Qing Yi. This kid had no tact at all and kept asking endless questions.
"Okay, okay, I'll go order it for you right away." Qing Yi stood up. After all, he was his own master. He was so old, so it was only right for him to take care of him. One moment he said he was in no hurry to leave, and the next moment he said he was in a hurry to leave. What was going on?
Qing Yi settled the Demon Lord before returning to the room. At this time, only Ye Qingyu and Qingfeng were in the room. Qingqing had already gone to rest.
"Qingfeng, what's going on?" Qingyi has been curious for a long time. No matter how he tried to find out, his master didn't reveal a single word.
"The Demon Lord said to keep it a secret and not tell anyone." Qingfeng said with a cold face.
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Qing Yi became even more curious. He glanced at Ye Qingyu and said, "Qingfeng, you are not related to my master. If he said to keep it a secret, then keep it a secret. Your master wants to know what happened, so why don't you tell him?" Qing Yi began to threaten Qingfeng with Ye Qingyu.
"..." Qingfeng said nothing. He was in a dilemma. If his master asked, he would have to tell the truth. But if his master didn't ask, did he not have to tell the truth? It wasn't a glorious thing to do anyway. The Demon Lord threatened him again. If he told anyone, he would hang him from a tree for three days and three nights!
"Did my master threaten you? He said he would hang you on a tree?" Qing Yi asked Qing Feng with a smirk on his face.
"Huh? How do you know?" Qingfeng couldn't help but look up and stare at Qingyi.
"Hahahaha, he threatens me like this every time. Don't worry, he's just talking and he won't really hang you up. If his threats were taken seriously, I would have lived in a tree in the palace a few days ago." Qing Yi was determined to find out some gossip about his master.
"..." Qingfeng pondered secretly, was the Demon Lord really just talking? He didn't care about Qingyi because he was his disciple, not him!
"Qingfeng, tell me quickly. Your master and I both call him Master. How can he be considered an outsider? Is there anything we can't know?" Qingyi continued to coax him.
