Gu Changsheng ignored Dong Lei’s yelling as if she hadn’t heard him at all. Her mind was in chaos, echoing with nurous question marks. She desperately needed to find Little Monk Bu Jie and get a clear explanation!
Gu Changsheng didn’t want to concern herself with how her foster father dealt with the Liuzhou Region. After all, Mr. Ban Shan’s reputation wasn’t for nothing—he simply chose to live in seclusion. If he ever decided to co out, achieving feats like charming the wind and paying respects to the sovereign would be a piece of cake for him. Such a trivial matter was really beneath him!
This day, it really had been incredibly fantastical for her!
First, she was inexplicably sold out by her foster father and son; next, she found herself nursing an insect in her glabella!
And this insect, it had even transford from a keepsake left by her own mother!
All of these events were beyond Gu Changsheng’s expectations, with the latter completely overturning her understanding of the world!
She was a thoroughgoing atheist, damn it! Born and raised under the red flag, a true red third-generation in the military!
How did she suddenly get entangled with sothing as mystical as Gu insects?
So many questions, yet not one solution in sight!
She needed to find Little Monk Bu Jie, to seek answers!
"Little Monk Bu Jie! Where are you?" When she arrived at Peach Blossom Cottage, Gu Changsheng rushed in without a second thought.
At this ti, Little Monk Bu Jie should have been in ditation, so Gu Changsheng’s mission was clear: she headed straight for the Zen Room on the fourth floor reserved for Little Monk Bu Jie!
At the Observatory above, a heavily preoccupied Little Monk Bu Jie heard the noise, and his plane dropped to the ground with a "clack." Normally unflappable, his face showed a hint of constriction.
Gu Changsheng, who ran to the Zen Room upon hearing the sound, swiftly opened the side door and looked up at the Observatory.
At that glance, Gu Changsheng’s expression changed instantly!
With furrowed brows, she looked at the empty Observation Deck and at Little Monk Bu Jie who was struggling with a piece of wood. Her lips twitched slightly, and she clenched her teeth to speak, "Shang Xie! You’d better give a reasonable explanation!"
Damn, her railing! How has it disappeared again?
Hadn’t it just been repaired a few days ago? And now it’s gone again, damn it?
Gu Changsheng, refusing to give up, ran over and bent down to search the surroundings several tis!
Damn it! It indeed had vanished without a trace, not even leaving behind a single woodchip!
Gu Changsheng montarily forgot the purpose of her visit and grabbed Little Monk Bu Jie to demand an explanation, "Little Monk, tell , do you have a pasti of idly nibbling on railings, or what? Or is it so Buddhist disciple practice, that you turned my railing to ash?"
Strictly speaking, Gu Changsheng was a person who pursued perfection! Even though she was not a Virgo!
But she sought an ideal life and couldn’t stand to see any imperfection in her residence!
Beauty in imperfection, beauty in disarray—that’s nice to say, but if it cos down to her, she really can’t tolerate it!
"Amitabha!" As usual, before speaking, Little Monk Bu Jie, though caught by the back of the neck, still intoned a Buddhist chant. His face showed a hint of dejection as he spoke, "Benefactor Changsheng, you must listen to , this was just an accident!"
"An accident? Last ti you dismissed it as an accident too!" Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng imdiately slapped the glossy forehead of Little Monk Bu Jie, "I’m letting you ruin my house! Those were high-quality Chinese Cedarwood, do you think they’re just so old wood burls by the river that could withstand your ddling? That cost silver!"
Little Monk Bu Jie’s mouth twitched at these words, and his eyes revealed a trace of grievance, as he hung his head, wanting to speak and yet hesitating.
He felt quite wronged, too; it wasn’t his fault after all!
Seeing his silence, Gu Changsheng slapped him again, speaking crossly, "You little spendthrift monk, what am I supposed to do with you?"
As she spoke, Gu Changsheng pointed to where the railing had once been, expressing her indignant anger, "Once bitten, twice shy, but you seem to have a knack for destroying railings! If there’s a third or fourth ti of familiarity, do you believe that I’ll hang you up to use as a railing?"
"Benefactor Changsheng, don’t be angry!" Upon hearing this, Little Monk Bu Jie began to speak in an embarrassed tone!
The sight of him looking so aggrieved and pleading, on his kind and benevolent face, was just too discordant, making Gu Changsheng’s eyes twitch in irritation!
Out of frustration, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help shaking her head and starting to drag Little Monk Bu Jie towards the Zen Room.
Damn, she was so angry she had nearly forgotten the real issue!
She threw Little Monk Bu Jie onto his usual ditation cushion and sat down opposite him, ready for a serious talk, "Little Monk Bu Jie, I let the first ti you destroyed my railing slide without making a fuss, but now that you’ve turned into a repeat offender, I have to ask what’s going on, right?"
"Benefactor Changsheng, I..." Little Monk Bu Jie looked up, wanting to speak as soon as he heard her.
Gu Changsheng wouldn’t give him a chance to talk and abruptly waved her hand, speaking with impatience, "Enough! Don’t bother explaining! Regardless of the reason, nothing can change the fact that my railing’s destroyed again. You believe profoundly in karma, don’t you? Since the cause is established, it’s only right that you shoulder the consequences."
"I..." Little Monk Bu Jie began to speak, but Gu Changsheng wouldn’t let him explain.
Seeing this, she cut him off, "Since that’s settled, there’s sothing I don’t understand and I hope you can clear it up for ... as compensation for this karma!"
Gu Changsheng continued, looking at Little Monk Bu Jie with a sowhat threatening lift of her eyebrow, "What’s your take?"
Upon hearing this, Little Monk Bu Jie’s shoulders slumped, and he spoke with a face full of submission, "Since Benefactor Changsheng has brought it to this point, do I even have a choice?"
"Obviously not!" responded Gu Changsheng joyfully. She shrugged nonchalantly, with a detached air, "Given that, I’ll just ask, what’s with this mark on my glabella, and what exactly is this insect inside it—is it so kind of ghost?"
"I’m not a ghost!" A small voice in her mind instantly protested.
"Shut up!" Gu Changsheng replied internally, still fixated with puzzled Phoenix Eyes on Little Monk Bu Jie, unblinking.
The Little Bug in her mind, feeling slighted, sulkily curled up into a ball...
Little Monk Bu Jie couldn’t help but look up at Gu Changsheng’s brow upon hearing his words. His wise eyes appeared as if they could see through everything, as if they contained an infinite universe.
Seeing this, a hopeful light imdiately ignited in Gu Changsheng’s eyes.
However, much to Gu Changsheng’s disappointnt, the next instant, Little Monk Bu Jie shook his head helplessly, brought his hands together and chanted a Buddhist scripture, and then said solemnly, "Amitabha, the Buddha said, ’It cannot be said!’"
At these words, Gu Changsheng imdiately felt utterly upset!
The small fla of anger in her eyes instantly burst into a crackling blaze!
"Damn it! Not this line again! Can’t you co up with anything new?" Gu Changsheng exploded.
She was on the verge of furious rage!
How many tis had Little Monk Bu Jie duped her with this line? She had lost count!
The Buddha said, the Buddha said, she sincerely believed she must have a deep grudge with the Buddha himself!
Why did the Buddha’s words have to be so infuriating?
And damned accurate every single ti!
It was a real trap, sister!
"The Buddha said, ’The Dharma is not transmitted to the six ears,’" Little Monk Bu Jie smoothly retorted.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng felt choked up, unable to catch her breath for a good while until she finally managed to!
She sincerely admitted defeat to Little Monk Bu Jie!
He was just impenetrable!
And frustratingly, she sincerely had no way to deal with him!
"Little monk! I only have two ears, which is quite a few less than six," Gu Changsheng pointed to herself and said with a sleazy face.
She was a cultured person! She could count!
Luckily, there were loopholes in Little Monk Bu Jie’s words!
Gu Changsheng, was soone used to taking advantage of such opportunities!
"Even if we add your two ears, that’s only four ears!" Gu Changsheng added as Little Monk Bu Jie’s face displayed a look of sheer horror.
Hallelujah, don’t bla her for blurring the concept of six ears, she was genuinely out of options with Little Monk Bu Jie!
So be it if she was shaless! So be it if she was a ruffian!
There was a saying in her past life that was very fitting, ’The worst fear is a cultured ruffian.’ This was so true! As long as it worked on Little Monk Bu Jie, she really didn’t mind being a cultured ruffian!
Her eyes were bright and spirited!
Under Gu Changsheng’s intense gaze, Little Monk Bu Jie’s face imdiately took on an incredibly colorful expression. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt a scholar encountering a soldier!
"That... that includes the insect on your brow! That makes exactly six ears!" Suddenly struck by inspiration, Little Monk Bu Jie hesitated, but still pointed and said.
"You!" Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng imdiately beca infuriated, knocked away Little Monk Bu Jie’s pointing finger, and said angrily, "That’s not how you count it!"
"Isn’t that how Benefactor Changsheng is counting?" Little Monk Bu Jie innocently retorted.
At these words, Gu Changsheng’s entire deanor sagged.
What was this? Using her own thods against her?
Was she just KO’d by the little monk?
Damn it! Such a trap! Utter defeat!
"Right, right! I have ears too! Not too many, not too few, just the right two!" A cheerful little voice echoed in her mind.
"You shut up!" Gu Changsheng roared inwardly.
Were all of these people sent by God to frustrate her?
Look how much she was stifled, left speechless!
"Oh my God! Would you open your eyes and see just what kind of fools you’ve sent to tornt ?" Gu Changsheng collapsed onto the ditation cushion, now she could only silently question the heavens!
Alas, the heavens weren’t hers to command!
They were like a wicked stepmother, always set to trip her up!
Gu Changsheng pounded the ditation cushion with both hands in vexation, truly hating the feeling that everything was beyond her expectations, out of her control!
It left her with a powerless feeling of being kept in the dark, at the rcy of others’ whims!
"Benefactor Changsheng, your heart is troubled, would you like this monk to recite the Heart Clarity Spell for you?"
