Song Yu was choked by Xu Tianze's words and felt lost in an instant, like a wronged puppy, extremely pitiful.
"Aze, I know you blame me, but I..." Song Yu tried his best to defend himself. He really didn't mean to avoid seeing Xu Tianze. He really just didn't know.
Otherwise, even if he disobeyed his father's orders and was punished to go to the ancestral hall, he would go to see Xu Tianze.
"But what? But you have no choice? But the interests behind your family do not allow it?" Xu Tianze interrupted Song Yu impatiently and asked questions repeatedly.
"Song Yu, you know exactly how I treated you and Jiang Xue, but how did you treat me? My Xu family was brutally slandered and massacred. Jiang Xue has already admitted that it was her doing. What about you? What role did you play in this?"
Xu Tianze became more and more angry as he spoke, his body shaking unconsciously. Three years had passed, but the grievance hidden in his heart had not only not faded, but had become even more unforgettable.
Although Xu Tianze hated and acted without hesitation, he would still be confused every time when it was late at night and everyone was asleep. He wondered what on earth had caused Jiang Xue and Song Yu to kill his Xu family.
The feelings he had invested in them over the years were ultimately wasted. In terms of reputation, the three of them supporting each other was a beautiful thing. In terms of profit, with the Xu family, the Zhenguogong family, and the Jiang family now connected, even the emperor would be extremely wary. What else could they not be satisfied with?
Song Yu was left speechless by Xu Tianze's questioning, just as when Xu Tianze left the capital and questioned him repeatedly while standing in the carriage. He still couldn't give a reasonable answer.
There was no way to tell Xu Tianze his most secret thoughts, not even a hint of them.
Long Musi didn't say anything, but just held Xu Tianze's sleeve to give himself insignificant comfort. Compared to what Xu Tianze said, he was also extremely curious about what exactly made Jiang Xue and Song Yu make that decision.
Could it be that he has the same purpose as him? Long Musi thought to himself.
Master Liaoyun looked at the noisy scene, and his usually calm expression became a little complicated, with a mystery that was difficult to understand.
"Mr. Xu San, would you listen to what I have to say?" Master Leyun said weakly. Without waiting for Xu Tianze to reply, he added the following sentence: "Actually, Donor Song did not harm your family."
ha?
The other three people looked at Master Yun with strange eyes. Even Song Yu just kept silent instead of denying the matter outright. It was surprising that Master Yun actually lied to such an extent.
Xu Tianze looked at Master Yun with an even more straightforward look, as if he was looking at a fool. He admitted that he was not as good as Master Yun in terms of the profundity of Buddhist teachings.
But when it comes to the interests and secret calculations between the powerful and the wealthy, even if Xu Tianze is not the best, his more than ten years of careful education are not fake. Master Le Yun actually treats him like a three-year-old child and fools him.
"Master Liaoyun just said he respected my Xu family, but now he's lying." Xu Tianze looked at Master Yun with a cold look, and the remaining joy of meeting an old friend began to fade. "Monks don't tell lies or eat meat. Master Liaoyun has violated the precepts."
Xu Tianze's heart is cold, or it has been cold for a long time. The paranoia in him makes him like a hedgehog, stabbing anyone who speaks for the murderer who slaughtered the Xu family, no matter who that person is.
"Donor Xu, you've taken the wrong road." Master Leyun did not feel offended. He just chanted "Amitabha" and spoke slowly with a compassionate look on his face as a monk.
He just said a few more words for the sake of Prime Minister Xu, not wanting Xu Tianze to go crazy like this. Who knew that Xu Tianze would be so obsessed? For a moment, Master Yun regretted not meeting Xu Tianze earlier.
"Master Liaoyun has long gotten rid of his three thousand strands of worries, so how could he understand the emotions of a mortal like me." Xu Tianze retorted, those who eat vegetarian food are also mortals, those who drink alcohol and eat meat are also mortals, how can there be a person in this world who has truly gotten rid of the seven emotions and six desires.
Since they had nothing to say, Xu Tianze had no interest in staying here. He had nothing to ask and even felt that coming here was a wrong decision.
He would not argue with Master Yun about the Xu family's loyalty and injustice, nor would he tell them about the humiliation and torture he had suffered. All he wanted was an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Seeing this, Long Musi had no choice but to bow to Master Yun in apology, and then chased after Xu Tianze. He had originally come to take Xu Tianze to meet Master Yun, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Master Leyun chanted a Buddhist name and watched Long Musi leave. Seeing Song Yu hurriedly getting up and preparing to catch up with the two of them, he directly spoke to try to keep them.
"Donor Song, I'm afraid you came here not just to follow in Mr. Xu's footsteps, right?" Master Leyun's eyes revealed a gentleness that Song Yu could not understand.
Master Yun just sat there quietly, and the aura he exuded made Song Yu's heart extremely peaceful, but he also inexplicably sensed Master Yun's compassion for the world.
Song Yu turned around and looked outside the door again. Seeing that Dai Nian had sent someone to follow him, he felt relieved and sat back in his chair.
"Master Liaoyun's words of help today, Song Yu has taken note and will repay you in the future." Song Yu smiled brightly. As long as Xu Tianze was not by his side, he was still the well-behaved Prince Zhenguo.
Although he didn't know why Master Yun helped him, he still took advantage of Master Yun's kindness, even though Master Yun's words were a bit naive and not worth pondering.
When Master Liaoyun heard Song Yu's words, the compassion he exuded became even stronger. This strange aura made Song Yu feel heavy-hearted and a little uneasy.
"I have done nothing against my will. I just want to ask whether you are willing to join my monastic sect?" At this moment, Master Leyun undoubtedly looked like a highly accomplished monk, and the words he asked were even more suggestive.
It seemed that as long as he listened to Master Leyun and got rid of his three thousand strands of worries, he would no longer have any worries. Song Yu even had a strange idea that as long as he became a monk, he could avoid the impermanence of the world.
But who is Song Yu? Whether it is his identity, personality, or wealthy life, there is no reason for him to enter Buddhism and become a vegetarian monk.
"Master Leyun, you are joking. I have no intention of becoming a monk." Song Yu rejected Master Leyun's words, then stood up and prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard Master Yun sighing deeply and saying, "Donor Song, please don't be too obsessed."
Song Yu ignored Master Yun's words and left with Dai Nian, chasing in the direction Xu Tianze left.
Master Liaoyun looked at the empty house again with a look of reluctance on his face. After all, his old friends were doomed to be gone, and he could not save anyone.
The host walked slowly into the room. He looked at Yun with a complicated expression: "As a monk entering the mortal world, do you really not regret it, Leyun?"
