"Is the master sure?" Ye Qingqing still couldn't believe it.
She felt that such a fantastical thing shouldn't happen to her, and compared to the lofty Chosen One, she would prefer Xiaotong to live an ordinary life, being a Go champion would be just fine.
The heavier the burden, the greater the responsibility; she didn't want Xiaotong to be too tired.
"Yes, I met with the master this morning, and he was very certain." Xiao Tong nodded.
Ye Qingqing's eyes widened even more. No wonder when she got up, Xiaotong was wearing her clothes for going out. The child had already made a round trip to Dafosi Temple, while she was still lying in bed like a corpse. She felt a little ashamed.
"So you'll be the leader of those guys from now on? Wuchen and the others will have to take your orders?" Ye Qingqing asked.
Xiao Tong nodded shyly and corrected, "We're not in command; the nine of us are partners."
"So what are you going to do? I often hear the master talk about returning to oneness, but what exactly is the method of returning to oneness? Will there be any sacrifices?" Ye Qingqing was most concerned about the last question.
If it would hurt Xiaotong, she would rather go against the world than let Xiaotong become this damned brain. There are so many people in the world, why should her brother have to sacrifice himself? She's a selfish person, nobility doesn't suit her.
"We don't know yet, sister, don't worry, everything will be alright."
Xiao Tong spoke softly, her voice not loud, but it immediately calmed Ye Qingqing down, leaving her somewhat confused. What had she just said? It seemed to be—
"Dad, your cooking skills are getting better and better. This steamed pork with rice flour is so delicious. Xiaotong, eat more."
Ye Qingqing blinked in confusion, picked up a piece of meat and put it in Xiao Tong's bowl, then picked up a piece for herself and ate it with relish, completely forgetting about what they had discussed earlier.
Ye Mingcheng smiled kindly, "Eat more if you like it. I'll steam more tonight, there'll be a big bowl left!"
Sweetie and Xiaomei looked at each other for a few seconds, neither of them remembering what had just happened. Sweetie picked up a piece of meat and put it in Xiaomei's bowl, then started eating it herself. Like Ye Qingqing, she didn't like fatty meat, but the fatty meat in the steamed pork was something they both loved. It wasn't greasy at all and tasted even better than lean meat.
Xiao Tong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite amazed. Just now, he was only afraid of being questioned by his sister, and unconsciously thought that it would be great if his sister forgot about it. Then his sister really did forget, as did his father, Tian Tian, and Xiao Mei. It was truly magical.
In the following days, Ye Qingqing continued to give acupuncture to his wife, Ma Yi. The woman was very agitated, like a trapped wild beast, eager to break free of its cage, but no matter how hard she struggled, she was still tightly bound.
Tsumabuki Minami and Tsumabuki Taisa no longer pretended to be a kind mother and brother. One of them would stay at home. In order to save trouble, they simply recorded Master Daoyi's chanting and played it at home from morning to night. Although the effect was not as good as the master's chanting, it was able to disturb Tsumabuki Mai's mind and cause her to become more and more agitated.
"Brother, don't play those scriptures, it makes me very uncomfortable."
That day, Ye Qingqing came to the acupuncture clinic again. Tsumabuki Minami accompanied her to Tsumabuki Mai's room. As soon as they entered, Tsumabuki Mai complained, her expression gloomy and eerie.
“The master said that the scriptures can bring you peace of mind, Mai. You’re overthinking it. You should calm down and listen to the Buddha’s voice. My mother and I have been sleeping very soundly these past few days!” Tsumabuki Minami said calmly, as if she was doing what was best for her younger sister.
Ye Qingqing found it extremely satisfying. This was a case of fortunes changing. Tsumabu Mai possessed great power but didn't use it for good deeds; she deserved this retribution.
