Vera's brain was working, trying her best to translate what Huyanxun had said:
"What? A demonic monk? I came here with no ill intentions. I just want to persuade the king here to release the people of the Central Plains."
It was him who didn't even get to see King Lu.
If he could find Qiu Yan, he would have left long ago.
Qiu Yan: "Shanyu, it's wrong of you to arrest people without cause."
"Without reason?"
Huyan Xun shook his head. Listening to this foreign monk speak made him impatient; those pauses in the sentences were really difficult.
He looked at Vera.
"What does it matter to the people of the Central Plains and a demonic monk like you?"
You're probably using the guise of a monk to bring disaster to the country and its people.
I have never heard of a monk traveling with an entourage before.
Besides, your followers are all armed with longswords.
In my opinion, you are all plotting something sinister.
Sure enough, his men only managed to capture the defenseless foreign monk; they didn't capture a single one of his henchmen.
Thinking about it this way, Huyan Xun realized that this wicked monk might actually be a Buddhist monk invited from the Central Plains.
It should be noted that Qiu Yan and the others were envoys from the Central Plains in Lu Shi's court.
He looked at Vera again, his eyes now filled with greed.
This wicked monk, if he could devise strategies and also knew some witchcraft,
At that time, it will be used by him... He's thinking a bit too much.
Vera only partially understood what Huyan Xun was saying.
What does "bring disaster to the country and its people" mean? What does "plotting treason" mean?
He shook his head, clasped his hands together, and quietly closed his eyes.
Faced with Huyan Xun's harsh words, he didn't know how to reply, so he simply didn't.
It has to be Vera; even at a time like this, she can remain so calm.
Qiu Yan had more praise for him.
"Chanyu, Vila is a wandering monk."
It was only because of his kindness, perseverance, and unwavering desire to save all sentient beings that he traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions and the Central Plains to spread Buddhist teachings.
The purpose is to save all living beings.
As you can see, Vera is completely defenseless, which is why he needs protection.
Even though he had followers with him, he was unfortunately captured by you. If he hadn't had some men with him, you can imagine how difficult his journey would have been.”
As Qiu Yan spoke, she began to help Vera untie the ropes binding her, while Qin Susu assisted her from the side.
Vera stared intently at Qiu Yan, trying to understand the meaning behind her words.
At the same time, he was also a little puzzled, as Qiu Yan and the burly man in front of him seemed to know each other.
Huyan Xun's men tried to stop them, but Huyan Xun stopped them with a look.
He asked Qiu Yan, "Tell me, how exactly did you two meet?"
“We encountered a desert area where we were out of water and food, and it was Master Vera who helped us.”
Qiu Yan spoke the truth and did not hide anything.
She untied the ropes and tossed them aside, then helped Vera up.
“Master Vera, I will take you away.”
The three of them walked step by step into the distance.
Qin Susu yawned, feeling so sleepy; she wanted to go to sleep.
Today has truly been a day of many disasters and calamities.
"Qiu Yan, are you pretending I don't exist?" Huyan Xun roared.
He chased after her for a few steps and stood in front of Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan stopped abruptly: "Hu Yanxun, you arrested my friend for no reason, and I haven't even pursued the matter yet. Get out of the way!"
She was certain that Huyan Xun would not make things difficult for her.
After all, he needs my help now.
Huyan Xun frowned.
Where are you going?
Qiu Yan's face remained calm and expressionless: "It's none of your business!"
Because of Vera, she harbored more prejudice against Huyanxun.
