"Zhizhang, stop talking!"
Huihai shouted so loudly that the little monk trembled three times in fear.
Looking at his beloved disciple, Huihai shook his head helplessly. This child was good in every way. Whether it was his understanding of Buddhism or his progress in practicing the exercises, he was the best among his peers.
It's a pity that he is too naive and lacks experience in the world. No wonder the abbot wants him to bring these kids out.
Can you just casually say those words to an outsider?
Ordinary people still pay attention to the importance of talking to each other even if they are just new friends, let alone the fact that the other party is a martial artist with many ulterior motives.
He doesn't even tell us the truth, so why are you suddenly so open-hearted to him?
Huihai clasped his hands together and bowed to Meng Suo, saying, "Don't take it seriously, benefactor Meng. This kid just spoke without thinking in a fit of rage. This time when we go to the capital, we still want to have a good talk with Master Lu and see if we can get him to change his mind."
"Master, you are wrong. I think this young master is outspoken and destined to become a high-ranking monk in the future. Now that the tyrant emperor has issued the imperial decree, it will be difficult to retract it. To be honest, we were also persecuted by that evil Taoist and the tyrant emperor. The mother and child I brought with me were the concubine and last blood of the Marquis of Huaiyin."
"You should have checked the arrows on my body. They were used by the Imperial Guards. I just had a fight with them. Many of my fellow martial artists were killed by those imperial minions while trying to protect us during our retreat. Even if you masters don't fight that evil Taoist, after I escort this mother and child to a safe place, I will go to the capital and personally use my sword to seek justice against that evil Taoist!"
Upon hearing this, Zhi Zhang perked up. He said with a smug look on his face, "Master, you see, you've always said I had no experience in the martial arts world, but I'm not a fool. This donor just now kept talking about some evil Taoist priests and tyrants, but he's in the same group as us!"
Huihai was in despair at that time, and was considering whether it was still too late to strangle this stupid disciple to death with his own hands and accept a new disciple.
How come they are the same fucking gang? Listen to this name, isn't this a complete traitor?
Good man, just because of a few casual words you said, you led our Miaofa Sect on the road of rebellion and never came back, right?
You should understand clearly, we are Buddhists, and we are different from those stinky Taoist priests who rebel in troubled times!
"Zhi Zhang, I'm punishing you by keeping silent today! Go over there and silently recite the Lotus Sutra a hundred times!"
After scolding his disciple, the old monk bowed to Meng Suo again and said, "I never thought that the donor would be such a righteous man. We have also heard about the story of the Marquis of Huaiyin. I never thought that such a noble marquis would suffer such a misfortune. There is indeed something wrong in the court."
"This time when I go to the capital, I will also visit some officials who are sincere and worship Buddha. Maybe things will turn around then."
"Master, if there had been a turnaround, the imperial edict wouldn't have been issued. I advise you not to harbor such illusions. Master, have you ever considered what you would do if the emperor refused to revoke his order? Do you really have to hand over half of the temple's land?"
Huihai murmured a Buddhist chant and said, "I will naturally discuss this with my fellow martial artists when the time comes. After all, there are also angry-eyed Vajras among the Buddhas!"
Meng Suo couldn't help but sigh, "This is a great monk who has attained enlightenment! You see, it's the same idea, but Master Huihai expressed it in a much more tactful way."
Meng Suo nodded and said, "I heard that the demon Taoist has cultivated evil skills and has reached the highest level of strength. If you fellow Taoists want to take action, you must go all out."
“Ahhh…it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”
Just as Meng Suo was introducing how amazing Lu Chen's martial arts were, Lu Chen was lying in the office, wailing with his teeth bared.
"Stop, it hurts. Ma Tong, are you trying to trick me? Is this how you practice martial arts?"
Ma Tong said speechlessly, "Master, practicing martial arts is inherently difficult. How can you master it without suffering a little? Let me tell you, there's really no need for you to practice any martial arts. First, you have us to protect you, and second, you have your own magical powers. Why bother learning the martial arts that we, the people of Jianghu, practice?"
This is the truth, and Lu Chen knows it, but after seeing the skills of Liu Suxin and Li Mingyue, he is still somewhat unwilling to accept it.
Without saying anything else, the two girls are very skilled in martial arts and must be very strong physically.
If he really wants to subdue these two women in the future, his physical strength cannot be too poor.
You don’t have to train other parts of your body, but you should at least train your waist.
When you really need to use it, you surrender your gun in one go. How embarrassing!
"Hey, for my brother's happiness, I really tried my best. It really moved heaven and earth, and it really moved myself. No, if I keep practicing like this, I will be useless. Can you think of a way to take a shortcut?"
Just when Lu Chen was worrying about these uncertain things, Mou Ping walked in from outside and whispered, "Master, everyone is here."
Lu Chen nodded, stood up and walked out, "Where are the people from the Princess's side? Have they arrived?"
"Zhang Guizhi is already waiting downstairs. She also said that the princess knows Qian Tong was disrespectful to you some time ago and has already severely punished him. Also, I heard that the princess has driven away all those retainers during this period!"
Lu Chen glanced at Mou Ping and chuckled, "Old Mou, how much benefit have you received from the Princess's Mansion?"
Mou Ping was so frightened that he trembled and said, "I dare not, I..."
"Alright, alright. Being able to accept benefits is a skill. I'm not that unkind. As long as it doesn't affect our big plan, it's fine. Just keep this in mind."
As he spoke, Lu Chen had already arrived downstairs. Looking at the hundreds of beautiful women standing below, Lu Chen felt extremely proud.
What’s the point of being a diamond member of the club? I’m almost becoming the boss of the club!
Some of these women were family members of the Marquis' Mansion, some were maids bought from human traffickers, and some were maids sent by Li Mingyue to obey Lu Chen's arrangements.
Zhang Guizhi saw Lu Chen coming and hurried over to greet him with a flattering smile, "Master, everything has been arranged. Please have a word."
Lu Chen took a quick look and was quite satisfied with the average appearance of these girls.
"Okay, then I'll just say a few words. You're lucky to have been chosen by me. From today on, your fate will be different. I think Mou Ping should have already told you what to do specifically, so I'll add a few more words here."
"In addition to serving the ladies of high-ranking officials, I also need some people to serve the gentlemen."
"But don't worry, we're not in the brothel business. The service I'm talking about is having you wear nice clothes, deal cards and roll dice for those men, and serve them while they happily spend their money!"
