The person who followed was none other than Bi Xiuxin who had returned to Shangjing.

She and Ning Daoqi had previously sought to meet Li Xiuzhu but had not been successful. Now that they had met him by chance, they naturally had to observe him more carefully.

Li Xiuzhu didn't notice that he was being targeted at first.

But Bi Xiuxin's gaze is naturally different from that of ordinary people. As a first-class master, she can threaten Li Xiuzhu.

So when he arrived at the next silk shop, Li Xiuzhu realized that he was being followed.

He followed his gaze and was stunned for a moment.

He saw a beautiful young woman in her thirties, dressed in white, looking at him.

The beautiful young woman held a white sheathed sword in her hand.

Li Xiuzhu was not surprised at all. After all, the only people who could have an influence on him were people from the underworld.

He didn't know this woman. Li Xiuzhu initially thought she was a killer, but this woman did not exude any murderous intent.

Just when Li Xiuzhu was puzzled, Bi Xiuxin suddenly nodded to him.

This time, Li Xiuzhu couldn't figure it out. What does this mean? Know me? Why don't I have any impression of him? Just when Li Xiuzhu was thinking whether the two had met before, Li Xiuzhu suddenly found that the other party was walking towards him.

Huh? Bi Xiuxin was quickly stopped by the guards.

At this time, Li Xiuzhu stepped forward and asked, "Do you know me?"

Upon hearing this, Bi Xiuxin made a Buddhist salute with one hand and said, "The Duke of Anyang has become very famous in the capital in the past six months. It is reasonable that I know the Duke of Anyang."

Li Xiuzhu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. A poor nun told him who this person was.

"Bi Xiuxin?"

"I didn't expect Xiuxin to be remembered by the Duke. I am honored."

Li Xiuzhu smiled upon hearing this and said, "You can't say I'm worried about you. You and Master Ning went to visit me two days ago, and I was a little busy. I apologize for the rudeness."

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Where's Master Ning? Why can't I see Master Ning?"

Bi Xiuxin didn't expect Li Xiuzhu to be so straightforward, but she didn't care. She had been cultivating her mind for more than ten years and wouldn't be broken by these few words.

"Master Ning has something to do, so he is separated from Xiuxin temporarily."

"Since we just happened to meet the Duke, I wonder if Xiuxin can go on a trip with him?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuehua and the others who had been observing frowned, and Li Liuli even asked bluntly, "Master, don't you know what day it is today?"

"That's right. Master is alone and definitely doesn't know anything about love between men and women."

Li Liuli raised an eyebrow at Bi Xiuxin and changed the subject, "If Master Nun wants to give it a try, I can lend you my husband. Of course... it's limited to practical use."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuzhu looked at Li Liuli, and his eyes revealed a few words.

"Is this actually serious?"

The same thought was also caught by Fu Yuehua, who immediately rolled her eyes at Li Xiuzhu and then looked at Bi Xiuxin.

He has delicate features, and although his face is plain, it is fair and delicate. His eyes and brows seem to show the indifference of Buddha, but it can arouse people's rebelliousness even more.

Just from this one glance, it wouldn't be surprising even if Li Xiuzhu accepted Bi Xiuxin as his wife.

As the person closest to her man, she knows too well what kind of person he is.

Bi Xiuxin was almost broken by Li Liuli's words. This was not her first time in the underworld, so she understood some of the things they said.

But, what can she do? She is still a princess now, can she still dare to attack her? If so, I am afraid that it will drag the Buddhist sect into eternal damnation.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, I am sorry for being rude."

"In that case, we won't disturb the Duke and his ladies from having fun."

"But before we part, I have one more thing to ask you."

Seeing Bi Xiuxin take a step back, Li Liuli didn't say anything else.

Li Xiuzhu was a little curious about what Bi Xiuxin wanted to ask.

Who is the new master? It's impossible to ask such an idiotic question, right? "You can ask whatever you want, but whether I answer or not depends on my mood."

Bi Xiuxin did not refute when she heard this. She was just asking for an opinion.

"I want to ask the Lord what he thinks of my Buddha."

Li Xiuzhu was slightly startled, then he understood. It was normal for Bi Xiuxin to ask this question.

"Buddha?"

Li Xiuzhu thought about it seriously and said, "Everything exists for a reason."

"My view on Buddhism is that as long as we abide by the rules and regulations, we can benefit the world."

“But I hope that Buddhism can benefit the people?”

Bi Xiuxin was also stunned when she heard this. She had expected and guessed the first two sentences in her mind and was mentally prepared to a certain extent.

But she really didn't expect the third sentence.

"Benefit the people?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Li Xiuzhu nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right, it's about benefiting the people. You all know how rich and how much land the Buddhist sect has."

"More than 20% of the fertile land in the Great Zhou is in the hands of you Buddhists. Do you know how much grain that represents?"

"Do you know how many lives that could save?"

“As for money, if the Buddhists are willing, they can build bridges and roads.”

“I believe that as long as Buddhism does these things well, no matter who rules the world, it will give Buddhism a good opportunity to develop.”

Hearing what Li Xiuzhu said, Bi Xiuxin frowned, and she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Is he pointing at me?

Could he know something? Unfortunately, Master Ning is not here.

Bi Xiuxin nodded.

"Xiu Xin will seriously consider the Duke's idea. Xiu Xin takes her leave."

After Bi Xiuxin left, Li Liuli suddenly said, "It seems that she cares a lot about Buddhism."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and explained, "Her sect is Cihang Jingzhai, the leader of the Buddhist sect, so it is normal for her to care about what the world thinks."

"Is that so? If I let the prince destroy Buddhism, will she feed the demon with her body?"

Li Xiuzhu paused when he heard this.

"It's dangerous for you to think like that, little girl."

Bi Xiuxin, who had just walked to the door, paused slightly, then left as if nothing had happened.

Li Xiuzhu didn't expect that this little girl was so bold. The man outside who looked very kind was actually a ruthless person.

Others kill people with swords, but she uses people's hearts.

After getting more than a dozen lanterns in succession, the group also came to the river with lotus lanterns.

At this time, the Bian River was already full of lotus lanterns. Looking from a high vantage point, it looked like a brilliant Milky Way. Of course, the light was not silvery white, but a light bright yellow, as if it was a soul lamp leading people to heaven.

"Make a wish, it's the only time every year, no matter if it works or not, just wish for good luck."

"Yeah, I want Xu to grow up and marry my brother-in-law."

"I want it too. I want it too. I don't want to be separated from my sisters."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuehua looked at Li Xiuzhu, and when Li Xiuzhu turned around, she gave him a blank look.

"Asshole, you're just trying to take advantage of me, right?"

"There are only four small cabbages in total. You can take them away, right?"

"I was so blind to find him."

"I don't know if Dad can accept this reality."
