Xiangli Youming and Yuan Qi stood at the entrance of a secluded Zen temple. He said in a low voice, "Hitting her will dirty your hands. If you want to hit her, just tell me and I'll do it for you."
Yuan Qi looked up slightly and asked him, "I am an illegitimate daughter, don't you mind?"
Upon hearing this, Xiangli Youming finally smiled: "You still care about me. I was just afraid you would dislike me because I'm sickly and could die at any time. How could I dislike you because you're an illegitimate daughter? Let's make it up to you. When you grow up, I'll propose marriage. Whenever you want to get married, I'll marry you."
Yuan Qi smiled without saying a word, but she was strongly opposed to it.
However, Xiangli Youming thought the other party had tacitly agreed and was very happy. He then brought up the matter from a few days ago.
"After you left that day, my father came here to find Abbot Huineng. Unfortunately, Abbot Huineng was away traveling and had just returned. My father wouldn't let you break the curse on me because he didn't know your abilities. If he had known, he certainly wouldn't have come to Abbot Huineng. You are quite capable..."
He was somewhat eager to explain, worried that he might not be able to make himself clear, but the more he talked, the more he felt that he was missing the point.
Yuan Qi chuckled: "Don't say that. The old monk Huineng won't lift the curse for you. He can't even protect himself."
Huineng's injury was something she had just calculated.
Xiangli Youming was somewhat embarrassed. He wasn't worried about Abbot Huineng; he just felt that he had lost face in front of Yuan Qi again.
"Seventh Sister..." Jiang Jiulu ran over, slightly out of breath. After she stopped, she bowed to Xiangli Youming, "Greetings, Ninth Master. I've come to see Seventh Sister."
Xiangli Youming then adopted a cold and aloof demeanor: "I've also gone to find my father and asked him to agree that you can lift the curse on me."
He bowed politely and left.
Yuan Qi waved goodbye to him, then asked, "What do you want?"
Jiang Jiulu pointed in the direction she came from: "Your mother wants you to go back. She said she wants to take you to see the abbot so he can tell if you're a jinx. Everyone's waiting. Let's go."
Yuan Qi didn't take it to heart and followed Jiang Jiulu back.
Jiang Jiulu was very worried: "Seventh Sister, don't worry. If the abbot says you are a jinx, we will protect you and not let you stay here."
She comforted Yuan Qi with sympathy: "Mother is prejudiced against you. As soon as you left with Master Jiu, she said you were a seductive vixen and would definitely be a menace in the future. Even my elder brother said that you used some means to make Master Jiu protect you so much."
Yuan Qi stopped skipping along, and asked in surprise, "Where did he defend me?"
Jiang Jiulu explained matter-of-factly, "Sixth Sister just said you were an illegitimate daughter, and he didn't hold it against her, even slapping Sixth Sister. Isn't that protecting you?"
She glanced at Xiangli Mingzhu in the distance: "Mother also said that you must have used some evil magic to control Little Ninth Master. Be careful what you say when you get to the abbot. My aunt and I will help you."
Although Yuan Qi didn't need it, he still thanked the other party with a smile.
Not far away, the two returned to the front of the main hall. Xiangli Mingzhu gave her a cold glance and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Songlu was slapped but didn't know who hit him. Even Jiang Juncai couldn't tell who hit him, but he suspected it was Xiangli Youming, because legend has it that Xiangli Youming started cultivating at a young age, which was something a martial artist like him couldn't compare to.
Jiang Songlu was in a bad mood at the moment, and she vented her anger on Yuan Qi: "You don't know any rules at all, running around everywhere and making so many people wait for you."
Jiang Songlu really wanted to ask what Little Ninth Master had told her, but she felt that asking would be improper, and she had been holding it in all the way.
Yuan Qi hummed a little tune, in a very good mood.
Upon arriving outside Abbot Huineng's meditation room, Yuanqi saw four guards from Xiangli Youming standing outside, along with several other guards dressed in black, all wearing clothes similar in style to those worn by Xuanyu.
When Xuan Yu and the other three saw Yuan Qi, they took the initiative to clasp their hands in a respectful gesture, which drew attention from the Jiang family.
Before long, Xianglimu brought Xiangli Youming out of the meditation room, and Abbot Huineng saw them off.
Xianglimu was very humble: "Since it is inconvenient for the abbot to take action, then I will not disturb him."
When Abbot Huineng saw Yuan Qi, he chuckled.
Yuan Qi ran over, looked up, and called out in a clear voice, "Where did the old monk go again?"
Abbot Huineng was dressed in a white Taoist robe, the hem of which was frayed. His face was pale and his breathing was obviously unstable. However, only Yuan Qi, Xiangli Mu, Xiangli Youming, and Jiang Jun could tell. In the eyes of others, Abbot Huineng was as energetic as ever.
"Young friend Yuanqi, it's been a long time! You've grown taller. Would you like to come in and have a chat?"
Yuan Qi walked over quickly, stepped aside, and went into the house.
Xiangli Mingzhu wanted to follow, but was stopped by a monk: "Please wait, female benefactor."
Xiangli Mingzhu was very confused: "Why?"
The monk uttered only "Amitabha," and then refused to say anything more.
Xiangli Mingzhu had no choice but to give up and turned to talk to Xiangli Mu and Xiangli Youming.
Jiang Bailu and Jiang Songlu also took the opportunity to speak with Xiangli Youming.
Xiangli Mingzhu is, after all, a member of the Xiangli clan, albeit from a collateral branch, and is not related to Xiangli Mu at all.
But since they all share the same surname, Xiangli, they are relatives with Xiangli Youming. This time, she will definitely show Xiangli Youming what kind of lowly scum Yuan Qi really is.
To everyone's surprise, Xiangli Youming turned around and left with four guards!
Jiang Bailu stomped her feet in anger.
inside the house.
Abbot Huineng sat cross-legged on the meditation bed and coughed a few times.
Yuan Qi pulled his arm over to take his pulse, and then took out a jade bottle from his cloth bag and handed it to Huineng.
Huineng poured out a pill and swallowed it. In a short while, his complexion improved a lot: "Thank you very much, young friend."
Yuan Qi asked in a serious tone, "Have you found that person?"
Huineng said, "You disgrace to Buddhism, you've made a fool of yourself in front of my young friend."
Yuan Qi sighed softly, "It seems we haven't managed to eliminate them."
“He practices unorthodox techniques, and now his cultivation has advanced to a higher level. It will probably be even more difficult to get rid of him in the future.” Huineng was also very worried.
Yuan Qi comforted him, saying, "Everything in the universe has its counterpart; someone will always be able to deal with him."
Xiangli Mingzhu thought she would be invited in shortly, but Yuan Qi stayed for nearly two hours after entering. The fact that she had waited so long meant their relationship must be quite close.
How can Abbot Huineng determine whether Yuanqi is an inauspicious star?
Yuan Qi staggered out and obediently apologized: "I'm sorry to have kept Mother waiting. I forgot to tell you that I've known the old monk for a long time. I lose track of time when I start talking. I'm really sorry. The old monk is tired and probably won't be able to see you today. He told me to tell you that you can find Yuanjue if you need anything. Master Yuanjue can also exorcise evil spirits."
"I don't believe it!" Xiangli Mingzhu was about to walk inside.
