Chapter 2273

Hui Ji returned to the yard where he was temporarily residing. Seeing how tired Hui Ji looked, Master Hui Kong quickly asked, “Junior Brother, what happened to you?”

“Nothing.”

“What matter did Alliance Leader Zhao call you for?” Hui Kong asked.

Hui Ji shook his head. “It’s nothing.

“Senior Brother, you should depart first this time. Junior Brother still has something to do. I plan to travel alone and beg for alms all the way to Mount Song, where we’ll participate in the martial alliance conference,” Hui Ji said.

“Are you planning to learn by experiencing the world?” Hui Kong continued, “You are still young. You will not be able to resist those desires. You are very wise, but Senior Brother does not want your spirit of Buddha to be contaminated by worldly dirt.

“Once it gets dirty, it can no longer be purified. If you don’t come back with me, the abbot will definitely punish me.”

“Senior Brother, I will definitely be alright. I will return to the Illusory Temple after half a year at most.

“You all should leave first. I’m afraid that something big will happen.

“When the time comes, I will personally beg forgiveness from the abbot.” Hui Ji took out a piece of paper that was filled with Buddhist scriptures. “Senior Brother, please give this to the abbot.”

“Hui Ji, don’t waste your own future. The century-long prosperity of Illusory Temple depends on you.”

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother. Your junior brother will take good care of himself,” Hui Ji replied.

“Haa…” Hui Kong sighed and chanted Amitabha. His expression was a bit worried. It was apparent that he was anxious about Hui Ji’s entry into the world.

However, under Hui Ji’s urging, Hui Kong left the Zhao Clan Stronghold with the rest of the monks.

Ning Shu was gnawing on fruit and strolling around the Zhao Clan Stronghold when she saw the Hui Ji sending off all the monks in Illusory Temple.

Ning Shu walked over and asked, “Why aren’t you going with them? Without any adult around, a pretty child like you will easily get abducted and trafficked.”

“Amitabha.” Hui Ji performed a Buddhist mudra solemnly. “Benefactor, this novice monk feels that you are full of malice towards him.”

Ning Shu stretched out her hands. “Am I? I’m not.”

“Even though there are a lot of ugly things in the world, there are also many beautiful things.” Hui Ji looked at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu nodded repeatedly. “Agreed.

“Little monk, in any case, your seniors are gone now. I want to invite you to eat, so come with me. Let’s make trouble together.” Ning Shu threw the core of the fruit far away.

“Who is that!? Who threw it, who lacks so much respect…” A furious voice sounded.

“Amitabha, thank you, Benefactor, but this novice monk is a little tired and wishes to go to rest,” Hui Ji politely declined Ning Shu’s ill-intended invitation.

Ning Shu stretched out her finger and thought about how abnormal she was. How come whenever she saw beautiful and lovely things, she wanted to destroy them?

Forget it. She should stop teasing this little monk.

Perhaps, in the future, this little monk would spark a generation of eminent monks, who would relieve people from their confusion and helplessness.

Mei Wu asked Ning Shu: “Young Miss, do you like that monk?”

Ning Shu: …

Mei Wu sure had heavy taste.

Ning Shu shook her head. “No, I don’t like him.”

Having entered and left so many worlds, Ning Shu must be at least a hundred years old in total. How could she like that little brat?

As soon as the task was completed, Ning Shu would leave this world. She didn’t intend to leave any ties behind.

Mei Wu didn’t speak. He simply walked by Ning Shu’s side.

In the evening, Ning Shu put on dark clothes and crept into Zhao Bo’s study. She turned a vase on the Bogu shelf and touched the mechanism. As a result, a hidden weapon flew toward her.
