Lin Jingting asked, puzzled, "Why are you staring at me?"
Tathagata: "I think you are right. Since it is formless form, then the 'self' is naturally not the 'self' either..."
"Stop it!" Lin Jingting interrupted him impatiently. "Stop talking to me about that bunch of nonsensical Buddhist doctrines."
Chu Nian glanced at Tathagata almost imperceptibly.
At this moment, she felt that Buddha had indeed considered transforming Lin Jingting, the Demon Lord, but Lin Jingting's strength was undeniable, and there were very few people he admired. In addition, he was a rather stubborn person, so naturally he wouldn't take Buddha's Buddhist teachings to heart.
However, just because it doesn't bother me now doesn't mean it won't bother me in the future. Could Lin Jingting's future creation of the Underworld be due to the Buddha's constant efforts to guide and save people?
To be honest, Chu Nian was very pleased with Lin Jingting's achievements; however, she also felt sorry for Lin Jingting because he was trapped in the underworld because of this incident, which made her feel conflicted whenever she thought about it.
Lin Jingting had always paid attention to her, and at this moment she keenly noticed that her mood was a little off, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy that you've severed your blood fusion connection with your cheap master?"
Chu Nian: "I'm not really happy or unhappy. I'm just a little worried about her reaction after she finds out about this."
She was speaking from the heart. Although she felt she had to break the blood fusion between Kong Yuan and the original body to avoid being constantly watched by Kong Yuan, she couldn't help but worry.
Kong Yuan was unusually persistent in his devotion to the original owner of this disciple.
Moreover, as long as the blood fusion exists, she can always sense the location of the original owner's physical body. If the blood fusion is gone, she won't be able to sense it anymore. Therefore, she should soon discover that the blood fusion between her and the original owner's physical body has been severed.
As it turned out, her concerns were not unfounded.
Lin Jingting and Rulai sat there for a while longer. Urged by Chu Nian, they finally got up to leave, but then Kong Yuan's voice rang out from outside the door: "Wunian!"
In fact, as the original owner's master, Chu Nian had always maintained sufficient respect for her, so Kong Yuan also possessed the access token for the Wunian Tower. However, due to the sudden arrival of Lin Jingting and Tathagata, Chu Nian added another layer of barrier outside the tower, preventing Kong Yuan from entering directly.
In addition, the magic array that Lin Jingting just set up is still in place. Until it is removed, no one can enter, even if they have a token.
Kong Yuan couldn't get in even with the token, and when she sensed that her blood fusion with her disciple had disappeared, she felt that something was very wrong. Therefore, the voice she used to call out for her disciple was very gloomy.
She felt it was a good thing that her disciple was becoming stronger, but it was dangerous for him to completely break free from her control. She hadn't forgotten Wu Nian's betrayal of Buddhism.
The moment Kong Yuan's voice rang out, all three people inside the tower were startled.
Because of the magic array set up by Lin Jingting and the barrier created by Chu Nian, Tathagata couldn't detect what was happening outside. As for Lin Jingting and Chu Nian, they didn't pay special attention to the outside either, so they didn't know that the old nun had come until Kong Yuan arrived at the door and knocked.
With a wave of her hand, Chu Nian put Lin Jingting and Tathagata into her spatial artifact. Then, she waved her hand again to release her own barrier and Lin Jingting's magic array. Kong Nian then opened the door with the token in hand.
At this moment, Chu Nian was already smiling sweetly. When she arrived at the door, she saw her open the door and come in. Her smile became even brighter. She said, "Master, you've come. Please come in." As she spoke, she led the gloomy-faced Kong Yuan into the hall, led her to the table, and said, "Master, please take a seat."
The items on the table were completely cleaned up by Chu Nian's magic when he put away Lin Jingting and Tathagata, so there was no indication that anyone had ever visited.
"Master, is there something you want to discuss with me at this time?" Chu Nian asked with a smile that was as warm as a spring breeze.
She had already conjured a teacup and poured Kong Yuan a cup of light yet elegant tea.
Kong Yuan looked at her expression as if she knew nothing about the blood fusion, his face darkened, and he asked, "What was the purpose of your visit to the temple where you were worshipping just now?"
Just as Chu Nian was about to answer, Kong Yuan added, "Some important things inside have been tampered with."
Chu Nian feigned surprise: "Oh? Really?"
Kong Yuan: "Don't play dumb with me. I know you're the one who did it. Do you think you're so powerful now that I, as your master, have no right to interfere with you anymore?"
Chu Nian said helplessly, "Master, I have no such thoughts."
Kong Yuan: "Then why did you touch those things you shouldn't have?"
Chu Nian remained silent with a sullen face.
Kong Yuan: "I don't know how you did it. But the blood ties between master and disciple are a long-standing rule of our Emei sect. This is because we monks have no offspring, but the lineage cannot be abandoned. The younger generation who have received the lineage cannot forget their ancestors after they become powerful."
As human beings, we should always remember to be grateful for what we have received!
When she said the last sentence, her tone was quite earnest.
Chu Nian said, "This so-called blood fusion is clearly a surveillance technique used by elders to monitor juniors. I cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness and walk the path of freedom. I don't want to be monitored by others no matter where I go. Moreover, I don't think that not wanting to be monitored means not knowing how to be grateful. These are two completely different things. Therefore, I don't think there's anything wrong with dispelling this blood fusion technique."
Kong Yuan stared at her in disbelief, his voice trembling, "You're speaking so righteously, do you think what you're doing is perfectly justified?"
Chu Nian said, "Master, regardless of whether this blood fusion technique exists or not, I am still your disciple!"
Kong Yuan: "Blood fusion is a rule that Emei has had since its founding. You are ignoring the rules like this..."
Chu Nian frowned and asked, "Master, do you really think it's wrong to break this rule? Or is it that you simply don't want me, your disciple, to escape your control?"
She was quite disgusted by Kong Yuan's controlling nature. Although Kong Yuan had raised the original owner with great care and taught her cultivation techniques, and her kindness to the original owner was immense, Kong Yuan had no right to monitor her forever.
Moreover, she is not the original owner of this body. Although she is using the original owner's body now, she is a completely different person at heart.
Kong Yuan's expression darkened further at her question, and he said, "What, are you questioning your master?"
Chu Nian: "Disciple dares not question Master, but only wants to know the truth about why Master cares so much about the blood fusion."
Kong Yuan: "With blood fusion, it's as if you and I share the same bloodline. Is it strange that I care so much about it?"
Chu Nian was furious and retorted, "Don't you think it's wrong to be monitoring me all the time using the Blood Fusion Technique?"
