Fahai shouted sternly, "Nonsense! Susu, I won't allow you to become like this."
Lu Qingyan chuckled, not taking his words to heart. She'd been in this world for five hundred years and still hadn't figured out what the mission requirements were; she had no time to care about this monk, Fahai.
Just as Fahai was about to leave with Lu Qingyan, a faint voice came from beside him: "Fahai! How dare you kill the creatures on this mountain so casually on my territory." As the echo faded, the Holy Mother of Lishan appeared before Fahai riding on auspicious clouds, her majestic face filled with rage.
Fahai first performed a Buddhist salute: "Amitabha, this humble monk greets the Holy Mother."
Remembering what Bai Zhenzhen had said, the Holy Mother of Lishan couldn't help but sneer, "The famous monk Fahai, what brings you to my Mount Emei?"
Ignoring the ridicule of the Holy Mother of Lishan, Fahai continued, "Naturally, it has something to do with the Holy Mother's disciple, Bai Zhenzhen."
"Is it related to Zhenzhen?" The Holy Mother of Lishan narrowed her eyes and asked Fahai, "What have you done to my disciples Zhenzhen and Guiqing?"
"Senior Brother? Master, what's wrong with Senior Brother?" Lu Qingyan slipped out of Fahai's arms, transformed into human form, and asked anxiously.
"Xiaoqing, you really are with Fahai. I sent your senior brother to Jinshan Temple to bring you back, but why didn't you see him?"
Lu Qingyan shook her head blankly: "I didn't see Senior Brother. Master, when did he arrive at Jinshan Temple?"
"Just seven days ago."
"But Master, I really didn't see Senior Brother. I only saw Sister Bai. She used the magic weapon you gave her to flood Jinshan Temple, causing many people to die." Lu Qingyan blinked and took the opportunity to complain to the Holy Mother of Lishan. She thought the monk Fahai was quite agreeable, so she would help him if she could.
"What did you say?! She actually dared to flood Jinshan Temple!" The Holy Mother of Lishan stared in shock, unable to believe that her usually obedient and well-behaved disciple would do such a cruel and inhumane thing.
She took a deep breath: "Xiaoqing, continue, why did she flood Jinshan Temple?"
"Sister Bai flooded Jinshan Temple because of Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu is the man Sister Bai and I met on the boat on Qingming Festival. He is handsome, even by human standards, but he's nothing special. Why did Sister Bai fall for him?" Lu Qingyan asked innocently. "Master, what gifts should we prepare when Sister Bai brings Mr. Xu back for our wedding?"
"A gift?" The Holy Mother of Lishan laughed in anger, "She certainly prepared a very grand gift for me. Humans and demons are inherently different, and besides, with her demonic poison still lingering, staying with that mortal would only endanger his life. I've never cared where she went to relax in the past, but I never expected her to get involved in such a romantic affair and even deceive me!"
“Master, could there be some misunderstanding?” Lu Qingyan mustered her courage and interjected, “I’ve known Sister Bai for so many years, she’s not that kind of person. Why would she keep my senior brother with her? Maybe when Sister Bai comes back, we can clear everything up.” Lu Qingyan spoke gently, but her words were laced with sarcasm. On the surface, she was trying to persuade her, but in reality, she was trying to provoke the Holy Mother of Lishan.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be?" The Holy Mother of Lishan trembled with anger. "I'm going to go to her place myself and ask her. This time, I want to see what excuse she can come up with."
