Chapter 360: You really are senior brothers?

~7 min read 1,214 words

Shi Song felt utterly wronged here, while outside the Relic Pagoda, Anji also wore an unpleasant expression as he questioned Xin and a few others.

What on earth is happening?

Shishu, that... we gave the junior brother the Forgetfulness Pill.

Forgetfulness Pill?

Hearing that, Anji wore a doubtful look, 'What damn bullshit Forgetfulness Pill, I've never heard of it!'

Seeing this, Xin explained.

It was brought back by Junior Brother Hui when he was traveling in Xizhou; it is said that it can make people forget the seven emotions and six desires.

Hearing that, Anji gave Hui a doubtful glance; facing Shishu's gaze, Hui's eyes darted away.

So you're saying Yuan became like this because he forgot the seven emotions and six desires?

Hmm.

Why did you give him the Forgetfulness Pill?

For no reason, you fed someone some pill; regarding this, Xin had no choice but to truthfully recount the matter of Juéqíng Shītài.

Hearing that, Anji's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

So what should we do now?

The Forgetfulness Pill likely has no cure, but no one in Dongzhou can refine it; perhaps a high monk of the Fomen in Xizhou knows a solution.

Hui hurriedly spoke; hearing that, Anji gave no reply.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Grand Assembly is about to begin; the people of the Fomen from Xizhou will indeed come, but can they really solve it?

Taking a look at Yuan, who seemed unchanged, Anji finally spoke in a low voice.

Don't cause trouble anymore; Ansheng will handle the Ten Thousand Buddha Grand Assembly.

Shishu, rest assured; the junior nephew knows.

Xin replied respectfully; immediately, Anji said no more, turned and brought the relics back into the pagoda.

As for Xin, after giving Yuan a complex look, he instructed Hui.

You personally keep an eye on him; don't let any more slip-ups happen.

Me?

Then could it be me?

But what about eating?

Having to guard Yuan himself, Hui looked troubled; it wasn't because of anything else, mainly he was worried about how to handle meals.

But Xin, annoyed, said.

The Forgetfulness Pill is yours, right?

But Shī xiōng, you also aren't...................

I did tell you back then, you agreed, but Xin didn't give Hui a chance to rebut, directly interrupting.

Since it's yours, you naturally take responsibility; anyway, the Ten Thousand Buddha Grand Assembly is just a few days away, then we'll let the Fomen people from Xizhou handle it.

Shī xiōng, you agree...

What do I agree to? It's already decided like this.

Not giving Hui a chance to explain, Xin simply decided thus, leaving Hui alone, wanting to cry but unable to shed tears.

Yuan's matter was temporarily settled like that, but when waiting for breakfast the next day, Shi Song spoke angrily.

Eat shit, you've sullied my reputation and still want to eat the Dao Yi Sect's food?

He really did nothing; after coming back yesterday, Shi Song felt more and more wronged; this morning, upon seeing Xin again, along with Juémíng and a few fellow junior brothers, he was furious beyond measure.

Upon this, Xin's anger also faded, and he gave an embarrassed smile.

Hehe, Brother Shi Song, please forgive me; last night I, a poor monk, was also muddle-headed from anger.

Forgive? This is slander; aren't monastics supposed not to lie? What about your Buddhist precepts? Are you abandoning them?

I, the poor monk, have reforged my Buddhist heart!

Huh???

That one sentence actually left Shi Song bewildered; he forgot that those before him—Xin and the others—had all reforged their Buddhist hearts, and their Buddhist hearts no longer contained any Buddhist precepts.

Damn, a bunch of fake monks.

Even so, you can't just slander me out of nowhere.

I... the poor monk apologizes to you, Brother; it truly wasn't intentional.

What exactly happened yesterday?

For the sake of meals, Xin and the others really gave it their all; not only were their attitudes sincere, but they also truthfully recounted last night's events to Shi Song and the others.

But after hearing Xin's account, everyone wore a strange expression.

Even Shi Song forgot to be angry, looking puzzled at Xin and said.

So you're saying Yuan has always been lusting after my family's Shītài, so you fed him the Forgetfulness Pill?

Hmm, that's exactly it.

Under normal circumstances, if anyone dared to eye the Shītài, Shi Song would have flown into a rage, but this time he didn't.

Mainly because what Xin and the others did was truly beyond comprehension.

Is the Forgetfulness Pill from Xizhou?

Yes.

You haven't taken it either?

No.

You just gave it directly to Yuan?

"Hmm."

Good buddy, for a moment Shi Song was at a loss for words.

"You really are fellow disciples?"

A pill brought back from the Western Province, no one in Dongzhou can refine it, yet you dare to just give it directly to Jueyuan to take?

"Juehui shidi asked about it before, so there's no problem."

Juexin replied truthfully.

Glancing at Hong Zun, who was also dazed nearby, Shi Song suddenly felt that his shidi was actually quite good.

At least compared to Juexin and the others, they truly are brotherly and respectful.

After explaining, Shi Song then agreed to let Juexin and the others have a meal.

Having eaten their fill, Juexin and the others were overjoyed, and the matter of Jueyuan was completely forgotten.

Only after they finished eating and Juexin and the others left did Shi Song pat Hong Zun on the shoulder with earnest words.

"Shidi, earlier I, the Shī xiōng, misunderstood you."

Hmm???

Looking bewilderedly at the retreating Shi Song, what does this mean?

After breakfast, the disciples continued their arduous training, and even Xu Jie and the others were no exception.

Probably the only one at ease was Ye Zhangqing.

But this leisure didn't last long; with the arrival of Bai Hua Xianzi, everything changed.

"Xiao Zhangqing, come, let me teach you cultivation."

"No need, I have my senior sisters."

"What does a bunch of yellow-haired girls know? I know far more than they do."

Hmm???

That sounded totally wrong, but they didn't give Ye Zhangqing a chance to refuse; Bai Hua Xianzi already moved in and grabbed him up.

After that came Bai Hua Xianzi's personal guidance in cultivation.

After an hour of cultivation, Ye Zhangqing's face flushed red; she wasn't lying—compared to these three senior sisters, Liu Shuang, Lu Youyou, and Wang Yao, she really knows her stuff.

Everything was just right, a completely different feeling.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's flushed face, Bai Hua Xianzi gave a charming smile.

"How about it, I wasn't wrong, right? How could those yellow-haired girls compare to me?"

"Yes, yes, that's what the Bai Hua Peak Master said."

"Then we'll continue tomorrow."

Saying that, she didn't give Ye Zhangqing a chance to reply; Bai Hua Xianzi laughed and left directly.

Only Ye Zhangqing was left standing there, dazed.

"This is why people say, when young you don't know what's good, mistaking a loli for a treasure."

Heaven knows what torment Ye Zhangqing just endured; of course, he hadn't thought of indulging, but facing a saint, the initiative is in their hands, leaving him completely powerless, which is really agonizing.

"We still need to quickly raise our cultivation; once it's up, I........... hum.............."
