Chapter 540 The Poor Ascetic
Lan Feng subconsciously looked outside, his eyes filled with surprise.
He quickened his pace and looked at Xiao Su Bao with surprise.
He never imagined that Xiao Su Bao would come to see him.
Lan Feng was a little excited, and his smile broadened.
Su Bao looked at Lan Feng, and some things finally came to mind.
"Hello, Uncle!" Little Su Bao obediently bowed to Lan Feng.
Lan Feng shook his head and quickly said with a smile, "Alright, no need for formalities. Did you come here for something?"
Thinking of the matter of the King of Yizhou, he immediately asked nervously.
Although his men had been monitoring the Prince of Yizhou's residence, everyone was now saying that the Prince of Yizhou was no longer there, and no one knew where he had gone.
Xiao Su Bao came with Tang Cheng, and there was also Xiao Mo Bao.
The others remained in Tangjia Village for the time being.
"Can't I come to see my uncle unless there's something important?" Little Su Bao showed her snow-white teeth, looking even more mischievous.
"Of course!" Lan Feng was amused by the little girl's words.
This is the first time the two uncle and nephew have been so close!
The clerk and the servant exchanged a glance and stood quietly to the side, neither daring to say anything more.
But Xiao Su Bao's gaze fell on the two of them.
Upon seeing this, Lan Feng's face darkened, and he said, "This is my advisor, and this... this is my servant Ah Yong, who has been with me since I was a child!"
Little Su Bao looked at the two of them, then turned her gaze to the advisor.
"Did you say it's no use?" The little girl's voice was calm, and her clear eyes made it impossible for anyone to lie.
The advisor's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, just one glance from Su Bao felt as if the little girl had seen right through him.
He was covered in sweat and hurriedly said, "I really have no other choice..."
The advisor kept his head down, not letting himself see Xiao Su Bao's face.
But Xiao Su Bao didn't give way and instead moved a few steps closer to the clerk, her soft voice carrying a hint of confusion.
“But my uncle has always had a high alcohol tolerance. You said that the incident happened after he had been drinking, and everyone knows about it... But why was my uncle at Fat Duck Restaurant that day?”
Little Su Bao said softly, but then asked the servant, "And you, we should have met at the Lan family. I remember when you were being bullied, it was my uncle who helped you!"
"And you, you swore a solemn oath back then, saying you'd belong to my uncle for life? Doesn't that count?"
Lan Feng was slightly taken aback and looked at Xiao Su Bao with surprise.
When she was working under Ah Yong, it was six years ago. At that time, Xiao Su Bao was only two or three years old. How could she remember it so clearly?
After all, if Xiao Su Bao hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten.
The servant's expression changed slightly upon hearing Xiao Su Bao's words, and he also recalled what happened back then.
Back then, he was bullied because he had six fingers, and it was the eldest son who helped him. Because of that, the eldest son even had a fight with his wife at the time!
The servant clenched his fists slightly, his eyes bloodshot.
He didn't want to either, but...
"Young master, I'm so sorry. I was bewitched by greed. My advisor promised me that if I succeeded, he would marry his daughter to me!"
The servant boy sobbed uncontrollably, but he still continued, "That courtesan was already waiting for you inside. Moreover, that courtesan is actually the clerk's niece!"
"You're talking nonsense!" the clerk roared, never expecting his servant to betray him.
I've been planning this for over a year!
At this moment, the advisor's face turned extremely ugly.
But then the servant continued speaking to Lan Feng: "I originally disagreed, but the clerk said that you are not young anymore and need someone to care for you. Besides, even if you don't care for yourself, you still need to continue the Lan family line!"
"Young master, I really just don't want to see you so depressed every day!"
The servant, probably thinking of how the young master had protected him all these years, burst into even louder tears.
Little Su Bao slowly withdrew her hand.
This was a technique her master had just taught her. This spell could unconsciously amplify the guilt in a person's heart and make them involuntarily tell the truth.
Little Su Bao then looked at the advisor.
The clerk's willpower was much stronger than the servant's, but his face turned extremely ugly at this moment.
"I truly know nothing about this matter; I implore you, sir, to be so clear about the truth!"
The advisor was originally from Lan County, but Lan Feng kept him around because he thought he was useful.
But now...
This advisor probably had this idea in mind from the very beginning!
What Lan Feng and the others didn't know was that even the magistrate of Lan County had concubines sent to him by his advisor, one of whom was his own daughter!
Lan Feng's face was somewhat gloomy. Because Xiao Su Bao was there, he didn't want the little girl to be scared.
"Ah Yong, I gave you your indenture three years ago. You don't need to stay by my side anymore. Go!"
Lan Feng looked at A Yong, his voice tinged with disappointment.
Because of the Lan family's affairs, Lan Feng had almost completely eliminated the people around him.
Aside from the people in his own household, he only had Ah Yong by his side.
But now...
Lan Feng felt a little sad.
Little Su Bao looked at him and gently patted Lan Feng's arm with her little hand.
"Uncle..."
Lan Feng shook his head and said, "I'm fine!"
He turned to look at the clerk beside him, and then his eyes became unusually sharp!
"Since you like matchmaking so much, go work at a brokerage firm and specialize in arranging marriages. You must help a hundred couples get married every year, otherwise... if you're short one, you'll have to use your children to fill the gap!"
Lan Feng said in a slightly cold tone.
The advisor's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly tried to kowtow and beg for mercy.
But Lan Feng was unusually fierce this time, giving them no chance at all!
After everyone had been cleaned up, Xiao Su Bao said, "But Uncle, you and that merchant girl... you must have really slept together!"
"Cough cough cough cough!" Lan Feng's eyes widened instantly, and he almost coughed up his lungs.
What kind of talk is that!
How can a young girl talk like that!
Before Lan Feng could even adjust, he heard Xiao Su Bao say, "And that girl should be pregnant!"
Little Su Bao didn't actually know anything about this, but when they came over, she unexpectedly saw an old acquaintance.
Fat Sister.
Fat Sister's restaurant business is growing bigger and bigger, and it has even become a chain.
Sanpang's restaurant and Fat Girl's restaurant always open one after the other; they are both competitors and partners.
Xiao Su Bao felt that these things were a bit complicated.
And look closely, that merchant girl's uncle still needs to be carried back!
"Yes, I understand!" His expression was still somewhat unpleasant.
But now that things have come to this, he can't shirk his responsibility!
Seeing that Lan Feng was in good condition, Xiao Su Bao breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Lan Feng arranged for someone to take Xiao Su Bao out for a stroll, while he himself sent someone directly to the merchant's house.
At this moment, in the largest silk shop in Lan County, a young girl was completely stunned!
She never imagined that the cooked duck would fly away!
"What exactly happened?" The girl pursed her lips, a hint of resentment in her eyes.
They had already agreed on a date, and the six rites of marriage had already been performed, but now she was being told that she could only be a concubine!
If I wanted to be a concubine, why would I become Lan Feng's concubine?
She was going to bring a generous dowry with her, how could Lan Feng do that!
My father is a royal merchant!
What's more, he's only sixteen years old this year, in the prime of his life, and he's even been divorced before.
Thinking of this, Shang's face turned extremely gloomy, and she felt terrible.
"Did your parents say why? Clearly..."
The merchant's father frowned slightly and looked at the yamen runner beside him, asking a question.
The mother looked very worried. They had a son and a daughter, and her son wanted to take the imperial examination.
The reason my daughter is with Lan Feng is because Lan Feng is young and promising, and is destined to be promoted in the future.
It was also because his son's husband said that Lan Feng was the maternal uncle of Princess Fu'an of the current dynasty.
Princess Fu'an's fiefdom is in An County, and I've heard that the entire An County is quite wealthy now!
Moreover, Princess Fu'an was a favorite of the Emperor and Empress!
"I'm just a messenger... but I heard that the clerk seems to have offended a high-ranking official, who has ordered him to act as a matchmaker at the official brokerage!"
If it weren't for the money the merchant's father had given them, the yamen runners probably wouldn't have bothered with them at all.
The merchant's father suddenly stood up, his face turning somewhat grim.
Mrs. Shang was also stunned and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Mr. Shang.
"Madam, please watch over our daughter. I'll see the master out!"
Mr. Shang gave his wife and daughter a wink.
Mrs. Shang was anxious, but dared not speak.
After seeing the constable out, the merchant's father slipped him some silver before asking, "Officer, do you know... what the magistrate's attitude is towards my daughter?"
He had spoiled his daughter since she was a child, and he really didn't want her to suffer!
If only they had listened to the advisor, they would have been in a difficult situation!
The constable glanced around, then whispered, "It's unlikely. I heard the magistrate's niece has come to Lan County. Why don't you go and beg her for help?"
The merchant's father's expression changed instantly, and he looked at the yamen runner in front of him in surprise.
Princess Fu'an!
The legendary princess has actually come to Lan County!
He looked at the constable gratefully, and then took out a ten-tael silver note.
The constable's eyes were full of joy. He only earned two taels of silver a month, so these ten taels were half a year's salary for him.
He didn't mind giving the merchant's father face, saying, "That man is kind, so you'd better not try to force a confession, but you can still pretend to be pitiful!"
That's all the information he's received.
The yamen runner only said a few words today and has already received twenty taels of silver.
Watching the bailiffs leave happily, the merchant's father turned around and hurriedly returned to the silk shop.
"Father, how are you?"
Shang's eyes were filled with urgency. She was already a month pregnant and could not marry anyone but Lan Feng!
"Princess Fu'an has arrived in Lan County, let's find her!"
The merchant's father felt regret, but he knew that regret was useless, so what he had to do now was to make his daughter catch the eye of that princess!
Thinking of this, Mr. Shang looked at his beloved daughter who had grown up with great affection and sighed.
"Ruo'er, your father knows your temperament, but... now that things have come to this, you must restrain yourself and not upset Princess Fu'an!"
When the father said this, he paused slightly before continuing, "Don't worry, even if you become a concubine in the future, your father will protect you!"
Shang Ruo pursed her lips, then took a deep breath and said, "It's Father!"
Mrs. Shang wiped away her tears, not daring to say anything. This had always been her nature, but at this moment she was still worried about her brother.
She was sold by her father when she was young. After marrying a merchant, she met the clerk by chance. The clerk recognized her when he saw the injury on her wrist.
Apart from the four members of their family and the advisor, even the advisor's wife was unaware of this matter.
Although the advisor was cunning, he was still very good to me.
The Shang family was unaware of Mrs. Shang's thoughts. Mr. Shang took his daughter and prepared to go out.
As soon as she came out, Shang Ruo was bumped into by a child.
Shang Ruo's expression changed slightly, and she almost fell over.
Just then, a hand wrapped around her slender waist.
Shang Ruo was startled and quickly turned around, only to see a very pretty young girl.
This was the first time Shang Ruo had seen such a pretty little girl, so she quickly said to her, "Thank you, little sister!"
"It's alright... I'm glad you're alright!" Xiao Su Bao said with a smile.
Shang Ruo smiled slightly before looking at the child who had bumped into her.
The child who had caused the trouble stood a short distance away, his face pale, unsure of what to do.
He looked very uneasy, his hands clasped together.
"I...I'm sorry!" he said nervously, tears streaming down his face.
Instead of saying it was okay, Shang walked over to the child.
The child, who looked about five or six years old, almost cried when he saw Shang Ruo coming over.
Then Shang Ruo pushed him!
The child accidentally sat on the ground. It didn't hurt, but it frightened him quite a bit.
"I'm sorry, I pushed you down!" Shang Ruo reached out and helped him up, saying sorry again.
The child stared blankly at Shang Ruo.
"Does it hurt when you fall?" Shang Ruo bent down and asked the little boy.
The little boy paused, then nodded.
"If you had bumped into my sister and made her sit on the ground, she would have been in a lot of pain too. And if you had bumped into an aunt who was pregnant, the baby in her belly would have been in pain too..."
"Promise me you won't run so fast next time, okay?"
Shang Ruo looked at the little boy with a very serious expression in her eyes.
The little boy blushed, but after thinking about what had just happened, he obediently nodded.
Just then, an old woman ran over.
The old woman had also heard about what had happened, and her expression became somewhat complicated.
Just as I was about to say something, I heard the child say, "Sister, I'm sorry, Yuan'er will walk slower and more carefully in the future!"
The old woman was taken aback, looking at her own child with surprise.
Little Su Bao looked at the scene before her, a slight smile playing on her lips.
She plucked a strand of her hair, pinched it in her hand, and then the hair slowly grew longer before she quietly tied it around the woman's ankle.
Lan Feng, who had just come out to look for Xiao Su Bao, was also standing in the crowd. He paused slightly when he saw this scene.
Shang Ruo wasn't the kind of woman who could topple kingdoms, but she possessed a serene and tranquil temperament.
Her lively demeanor just now was different from others.
Lan Feng paused, feeling a pang of regret.
He just doesn't like being schemed against!
Moreover, Lan Feng was displeased with what the advisor had done.
Little Su Bao looked at Shang Ruo and threw the other end of her hair out, which tied right to her uncle's ankle.
The hair could extend indefinitely, and eventually turned red, like a red line.
Shang Ruo and Lan Feng were destined to be apart. The young girl had foreseen that her uncle was being plotted against and that there was a hint of bloodshed.
The little girl had never known why, but now that she had seen Shang Ruo, she understood.
If the business is good, then my uncle is also a good person.
If Shang were to marry her maternal uncle, she would be plotted against and turned into a living dead.
The day Shang Ruo gives birth will be the day she dies.
When Xiao Su Bao saw the clerk's appearance before, she knew that all of this was a tactic the clerk used to get his daughter married to his maternal uncle.
Shang Ruo's fate wasn't strong enough, but with Xiao Su Bao forcibly tying the red thread between them, the two were finally destined to be together.
The only problem is that we can't have a proper marriage!
Little Su Bao didn't know why, but her master had said that there were some things that even she herself couldn't change casually.
"Goodbye, sister!" The child waved goodbye to Shang Ruo.
Shang Ruo happened to see that figure in the crowd.
She paused slightly, wanting to go over, but not knowing how.
And even if I went there, what could I say?
When asked why he didn't keep his promise,
This was something she had planned herself. Although she had only half-heartedly agreed, she still had that intention.
Lan Feng walked towards them, his face expressionless.
"Greetings, Lord Lan!" Shang Ruo bowed to Lan Feng.
"No need for formalities!" Lan Feng said calmly.
The father, standing to the side, sighed and then bowed, trying to please Lan Feng for his daughter's sake.
"Your Honor, what happened before was my fault, it had nothing to do with my daughter. If you are upset, take it out on me!"
As he spoke, the father was about to kneel down in front of Lan Feng.
Lan Feng frowned, but before he could speak, Shang Ruo knelt down in front of him.
"My father is old, and Shang Ruo is willing to take the punishment in his place!"
Lan Feng frowned slightly, but still said, "Get up first!"
Shang Ruo was pregnant with his child, and seeing Shang Ruo in such a state, Lan Feng was not unmoved.
Lan Feng walked up to Xiao Su Bao and saw the little girl looking at him with a smile, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He never expected that when he let his niece out to play, she would actually come to the merchant's silk shop.
"Uncle..." Xiao Su Bao whispered to Lan Feng.
"Hmm, what kind of fabric do you want to buy?"
When Lan Feng looked at Xiao Su Bao, his expression softened noticeably.
Xiao Su Bao glanced at Shang Ruo, then at Shang's stunned father, and said, "I just came to take a look!"
After the little girl finished speaking, she added, "I don't know much about fabrics either. Could you... auntie, please tell me about them?"
Xiao Su Bao didn't see any karmic obstacles in Shang Ruo. She must have done some good deeds. Although the light of her merits wasn't strong, there were still some.
The merchant's father was different; he carried dark karmic burdens.
Actually, if it weren't for these dark karmic burdens, perhaps he wouldn't have gotten into trouble!
Xiao Su Bao sighed, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
However, the rest is beyond my control.
Shang Ruo nervously led Xiao Su Bao around the shop for a while, and soon she began to carefully select fabrics for Xiao Su Bao.
They brought out almost all of their finest materials and their usual treasured possessions.
"Thank you for saving my life, Princess. These fabrics are a gift from my daughter to you. I hope you won't find them offensive!"
Shang Ruo stood meekly in front of Xiao Su Bao.
The little girl didn't say much. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Auntie, you have to be careful. You might have a little bad luck recently. I have a talisman here as a return gift for you!"
As Xiao Su Bao spoke, she handed a talisman to Shang Ruo.
Shang Ruo was taken aback, but was overjoyed.
Princess Fu'an doesn't dislike herself, which means she likes herself!
As long as she does this, she won't worry that Lan Feng will hate her.
She breathed a slight sigh of relief. Just then, a rather beautiful young woman rushed in from outside.
"Shang Ruo, come out quickly and come with me to the government office!"
The beautiful young woman saw Shang Ruo, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Su Bao frowned slightly. The little girl smelled a foul odor coming from the girl.
"Don't let her come any closer!"
Little Su Bao quickly spoke up.
The little girl stood protectively in front of Shang Ruo.
If Shang Ruo is pregnant, as a half-baked doctor, she can't just watch her future aunt and brother get into trouble.
What are you doing?
The waiter and Shang Ruo's maid immediately stopped them. Xiao Mo Bao stood in front of them, her eyes filled with wariness.
"Shang Ruo, what are you doing? I am your..." The beautiful young girl stamped her feet and shouted anxiously.
Her own father, all because of that little slut Shang Ruo, has gone from being a dignified clerk to a matchmaker in a brokerage firm. She has gone from being the clerk's daughter to the matchmaker's daughter!
Thinking about this, Zhu Qiaoqiao felt angry.
"Shang Ruo, what do you mean by this!"
Zhu Qiaoqiao's face darkened, her eyes filled with hostility.
Xiao Su Bao looked at Zhu Qiao Qiao with a furrowed brow.
This little girl is covered in black aura, burdened with karmic obstacles, and has committed hundreds, if not thousands, of evil deeds!
"I didn't mean anything by it. Is there anything I can do for you, Sister Zhu?"
Although Shang Ruo didn't like Zhu Qiaoqiao, the two were cousins, so she couldn't say anything.
"Do you know that because of you, my father is now disliked by the county magistrate!"
Instantly, many people around turned to look. Who wouldn't want to hear the county magistrate's gossip?
But the next moment, they shut up.
Then they saw several yamen runners walk in from outside.
All the spectators left.
The yamen runners guarded the gate of the silk shop, while one of them glanced indifferently at Zhu Qiaoqiao.
"Miss Zhu, didn't you say you were going to marry Brother A Yong? Brother A Yong is here!"
Just then, Ah Yong walked in from outside, looking disheveled.
When Zhu Qiaoqiao saw A Yong, her expression changed slightly, and she looked quite unwell!
She knew perfectly well that Ah Yong had already been rejected by the county magistrate, and she would never be with someone with no future!
Xiao Su Bao also saw A Yong. She was slightly taken aback and saw an aura of death on A Yong.
He swore he would be loyal to Lanfeng, but now that he has broken his promise, he may have fulfilled his vow!
Little Su Bao noticed this, but didn't go forward to change anything.
"I never said I would marry you. Besides, you are nothing now, so what makes you think you can marry me? Get away from me!"
Zhu Qiaoqiao said with a gloomy face, her eyes almost bulging out.
Ah Yong's face paled slightly, but he did not insist any further.
He gave Zhu Qiaoqiao a deep look.
He had no interest in this woman at first. It was Zhu Qiaoqiao who blushed every time she saw him, and it was she who gave him shoes and clothes!
Furthermore, Zhu Qiaoqiao herself said that she liked him!
Ah Yong looked deeply at the woman before him, a pang of pain shooting through his heart.
He pursed his lips, then suddenly tilted his head back and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Zhu Qiaoqiao was startled and instinctively hid behind her.
Xiao Su Bao pulled Shang Ruo a little closer to herself.
Zhu Qiaoqiao's face darkened, her eyes filled with malice.
Seeing the two constables looking over, she snorted, but then continued to look at Shang Ruo.
"Hurry and come with me to beg the county magistrate!"
Zhu Qiaoqiao frowned as she looked at Shang Ruo and Xiao Subao. She was insanely jealous when she saw Xiao Subao's pretty face.
I couldn't help but clench my teeth!
A girl who's prettier than me shouldn't exist in this world.
As Zhu Qiaoqiao was thinking maliciously, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck her on the head.
Zhu Qiaoqiao was completely stunned. Her hair was curly, her face was deathly pale, and she was in a terrible state!
Xiao Su Bao withdrew her outstretched finger, pretending that nothing had happened.
Mo Bao then took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and stood in front of the little girl.
"Someone, take Zhu Qiaoqiao back!"
Shang Ruo frowned slightly, but still had Zhu Qiaoqiao sent away.
Just then, a voice rang out: "Zhu Qiaoqiao!"
I wonder what Shang's father and Lan Feng talked about, that they came down so quickly.
Lan Feng glanced at Zhu Qiaoqiao with disgust, then coldly said, "Three months ago, you pushed a twelve-year-old girl into the water. A month ago, you broke one of your maids' legs. She was just a farmhand, not someone you sold yourself to. Five days ago, you poisoned the water for the pork vendor in the east!"
Lan Feng spoke slowly and deliberately, while Zhu Qiaoqiao's face grew increasingly grim.
Unfortunately, because her face was covered in something black, no one could see her expression at the moment.
"My...my sir! I didn't, I didn't!"
Zhu Qiaoqiao quickly waved her hand, how could she dare to admit these things!
"Hmph, three years ago, an orphan girl sold herself on the street to bury her father. You bought her, but afterwards, you dumped her elderly father in a mass grave and disfigured the girl's face!"
Five years ago...
"You've been told off! Stop talking now!"
Zhu Qiaoqiao covered her ears, her eyes filled with terror.
How could anyone know that I did all of this secretly, without even my parents knowing?
Zhu Qiaoqiao looked at Lan Feng in horror, gritted her teeth, rolled her eyes, and tried to fall into Lan Feng's arms.
Unexpectedly, Lan Feng kicked her away.
Lan Feng only received this news three days ago.
"Guards, take this man to jail. We'll interrogate him another day when the victim comes to us!" Lan Feng ordered the constables.
The yamen runners naturally complied. They hurriedly came in and took Zhu Qiaoqiao away, fearing that the magistrate would suspect their relationship with the clerk.
Little Su Bao watched this scene with a slight smile on her pretty face.
Having resolved Lan Feng's matter, she felt she had done right by her mother.
As for relationships...
The little girl who needed to be taken care of no longer needs it, so perhaps feelings are no longer necessary!
Lan Feng and Shang Ruo's wedding still took place, but for various reasons, Lan Feng ended up taking a concubine instead of marrying her in a formal ceremony.
This predestined relationship was forced upon us, and now that it has come to this, it can be considered a cycle of cause and effect.
After finishing these tasks, Xiao Su Bao returned to the village.
Today, Tangjia Village is the largest village in the surrounding area.
The village school also reopened.
As the plaque for the village school was slowly hung up, everyone's attention became focused.
Little Su Bao finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the village enveloped in a faint pink light.
Immediately afterwards, the little girl reached out and together with Tang Cheng, tore down the red silk from the plaque.
The villagers stood together at the village entrance, along with the people from the village school. They stood under the big peach tree, looking at the huge plaque and the petite figure beneath it.
The little girl was slender, but standing under the peach tree, she exuded a sense of unwavering determination.
The students knew that this village school was built by Xiao Su Bao and his friends.
The large characters of Fu'an Academy shimmered brightly in the sunlight, seemingly reaching the sky.
Whether it was just their imagination or not, the moment the plaque for Fu'an Academy was hung up, the students felt an even greater sense of familiarity with Xiao Su Bao.
The young girl, however, found that her connection with these students was becoming increasingly close.
A faint blue aura emanated from the academy.
"Amitabha!" Just then, an ascetic monk walked in from outside.
Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback and turned her head to look over.
The ascetic monk bowed to Xiao Su Bao.
Then the ascetic monk looked at the thousand-year-old peach tree. His eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "My Buddhist name is Wushan. May I stay in this village to preach and spread the Dharma?"
The nameless old Taoist priest suddenly appeared, his eyes narrowed, a sharp glint in them.
The nameless old Taoist snorted coldly, about to speak, when Little Su Bao said, "Master, your opportunity does not lie here!"
The ascetic monk was slightly taken aback. He looked into Xiao Su Bao's eyes, and then a strange glint seemed to flash in his eyes.
Suddenly, the ascetic clutched his chest, his face turning pale.
He quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Xiao Su Bao anymore.
"Benefactor, this humble monk dares to ask you for a bowl of water and a mouthful of food."
The ascetic monk suddenly spoke, a strange look appearing in his eyes.
This time, Xiao Su Bao didn't refuse. She had someone bring water and food over, and the little girl personally handed them to the ascetic monk.
The ascetic monk suddenly attacked, grabbing Xiao Su Bao's wrist with one hand.
"This humble monk merely glanced at your palm; there was no ill intent on his part..."
“This… how could this be… how…” The ascetic monk suddenly raised his head.
