Shu Jianyue pointed at Kong Ming's bald head and said, "Can't you tell?"
Yan Xi's lips twitched. "I didn't know monks were bald. He didn't say anything when I saw him."
Besides, he followed her here on his own; it wasn't like she wanted to bring him out.
"No, you think you can bring someone out just because they're not a monk?" Shu Jianyue looked at Yan Xi speechlessly.
Yan Xi glanced at Kong Ming and remained silent.
Kongming bowed with one hand and said, "Amitabha, benefactor, this humble monk came out with this benefactor voluntarily, so you cannot blame her."
"So, you're saying you used my daughter as a scapegoat?" Shu Jianyue glared at Kong Ming with a hostile expression.
Kongming immediately bowed and said, "This humble monk had no such intention."
At the time, he simply wanted to leave the Buddhist temple with her.
Shu Jianyue looked Kong Ming up and down. He looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, but his face was already incredibly delicate.
"You are a disciple of the Buddha Temple, and you are not allowed to go out without the abbot's permission, so you sneaked out?"
Kongming blushed, and his eyes darted away.
Seeing him like this, Shu Jianyue was speechless for a long time. She suddenly wanted to pack him up and take him away with her.
Chong Jiu squinted, pulled her into his arms, and looked at Kong Ming, saying, "Where you want to go is none of our business, and the affairs of the Buddhist Temple are none of our business either."
After saying that, he glanced at Yan Xi, then put his arm around Shu Jianyue and was about to leave.
Yueyue has been lost in thought while watching him several times, which is not something he likes.
Yan Xi glanced at Kong Ming, thought for a moment, and then followed him.
Just as they were about to reach the cave entrance, Chong Jiu suddenly stopped and looked at Yan Xi, asking, "Did you touch anything here just now?"
Yan Xi shook her head. She hadn't moved just now, but she had moved earlier, though it wasn't convenient to say it now.
"Xixi, why did you suddenly come to such a far place?" This Buddha Temple is quite a distance from the Supreme Temple.
Chong Jiu sensed a trace of Chen Xin's presence on Yan Xi, but it disappeared instantly, making him think for a moment that he had misread it.
Yan Xi said, "I was just walking around collecting spiritual herbs when I had nothing to do, and then I followed a spiritual beast here."
Shu Jianyue glanced at Kong Ming again and saw that he was still looking at them with hope in his eyes.
Turning to Chong Jiu, "How about we take him with us?"
Chong Jiu's expression changed instantly. He looked down at her and asked, "What, you've taken a fancy to him?"
"What do you mean you've taken a fancy to him?" Shu Jianyue instantly understood what he meant and rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Are you jealous? How old is he?"
"You're about the same age as Xixi and Yu'er, how can you have the nerve to think like that?"
Shu Jianyue looked him up and down. "Chong Jiu, you seem to lack confidence!"
Chong Jiu raised an eyebrow. "Heh, I'm afraid you'll get tired of the old and crave the new."
"Heh, you're actually right." Shu Jianyue glared at him and walked towards Kong Ming.
"What are you planning to do by sneaking out like this?"
Kongming glanced at Chongjiu and, seeing that his expression was relatively calm, said, "This humble monk would like to wander around and take a look."
“I grew up in a Buddhist temple and have never seen the outside world, so I want to go out and see it.”
Chong Jiu knew that Shu Jianyue was angry, and he also knew that he had made a mountain out of a molehill. How could he not know what kind of person she was?
He knew it, but he didn't want her to keep staring at one man.
He glanced at Kong Ming but said nothing more.
Shu Jianyue frowned as she looked at Kong Ming. "Have you ever thought about why your abbot won't let you leave the Buddhist Temple?"
Kongming nodded, "Master once said that before I come of age, firstly, I lack the ability, and secondly, my spiritual veins are special. I cannot go out before I have enough ability to protect myself."
"So, do you have it now?" Shu Jianyue glanced at his cultivation level, fourth stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which was still somewhat difficult for him to protect himself in the Four Seas.
Kongming glanced at Yan Xi and said, "Not yet, but today's opportunity is rare, so this humble monk followed this female benefactor out."
Shu Jianyue glanced at Yan Xi and asked, "You're saying this to us without any ability to protect yourself? Aren't you afraid we'll have ulterior motives?"
Kong Ming shook his head, “Each of you benefactors possesses extraordinary qualities and clear eyes; you are not sinister people.”
Shu Jianyue chuckled, "Don't you know that some liars are very good at disguising themselves? What if we were disguising ourselves?"
"Then I can only say that this is my fate." Kongming laughed heartily.
Shu Jianyue smiled, "Then come with me to the Supreme God Temple first. My son Yuchuan is the kind of person who likes to run around."
"However, this outfit isn't suitable for running around. I'll fix it up for you when we get back."
Kongming bowed and smiled, "Then this humble monk thanks you, benefactor."
Shu Jianyue nodded, pulled Yan Xi along, and walked back without even glancing at Zhong Jiu.
Chong Jiu glanced at Kong Ming and followed.
Kongming touched his nose and struggled to follow.
As soon as they left the cave, disciples from the Buddhist temple came looking for them, only to sense the lingering aura in the cave.
"Quick, they must have just left, hurry and chase after them!" a burly monk shouted.
"You all go after them quickly, I'll inform the host."
Given Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu's speed, they naturally couldn't catch up.
Back at the Supreme God Temple, Shu Jianyue sent a telepathic message to Yu Chuan, telling him about Kong Ming and instructing him to take Kong Ming with him when he went out.
But he mustn't do anything bad; he shouldn't lead a pure and innocent young monk astray.
After everyone had left, Yan Xi took out something and handed it to Chong Jiu, saying, "Father, do you recognize this? It was because I took this that the people from the Buddhist Temple chased after me."
Chong Jiu never expected that his own daughter would actually help him find a Chen Xin.
He took the strange-looking object from Yan Xi's hand and said, "This is a dust heart I need. If you don't need anything else, can you give it to me?"
"Of course, I just thought it was pretty strange, so I took it." Yan Xi felt more that she might regret it if she didn't take it, so she took it on impulse.
Shu Jianyue smiled and hugged Yan Xi, saying, "This is something not only your father needs, but your mother needs it too."
“Our Xixi is our parents’ blessing. We’ve been searching for her for ages but couldn’t find her, and you brought her home right away.”
Yan Xi smiled and said, "It's fate."
If it weren't for that spirit beast leading her to the Buddhist temple, how would she have found this?
Given the level of commotion at the Buddhist temple, this thing seems to be quite important.
"Yes, it's fate." Shu Jianyue nodded with a smile.
Then he looked at Chong Jiu and asked, "Are we still missing two more to complete the set?"
Chong Jiu nodded, "Yes."
Chongjiu put away the dust heart, and now only two are missing.
Finding two so soon after each other was a pleasant surprise.
Yan Xi glanced at the two of them, knowing only that her father's seal needed to be broken by something, but neither she nor Yu Chuan knew exactly what it was.
"Father, is this Chenxin the medium that can break the seal on you?"
