Chapter 130

Although Xingchi had the word "slow" in his dharma name, he was quite efficient in doing things.

After Li Miao handled the traces of the battle and Zhu Zai left with the Embroidered Uniform Guard's men, he began to send Shaolin disciples to various places to invite fellow martial artists to witness the ceremony of passing the position to Yong Jie.

With Shaolin's status and Xingchi's reputation, this matter spread rapidly throughout the Jianghu.

That afternoon, many Jianghu figures arrived one after another.

Li Miao originally didn't want to enter the Shaolin Temple; it was crowded and mixed with people, and if someone saw that he and Yin Minjun had arrived at Shaolin early, it would inevitably be a flaw.

However, as more and more Jianghu figures arrived, Shaolin's guest rooms gradually became stretched, and more and more Jianghu people slept in the wild fields around Shaolin.

How to summarize the group of Jianghu people?

Actually, they were generally very similar to the thirteen or fourteen-year-old little hooligans in school during Li Miao's previous life—no money, obsessed with face, fond of bravery and fighting, liking to put on airs, and full of energy.

When such people gathered together, greeting each other and climbing relationships, running around everywhere, it was inevitable that they would run into Li Miao and Yin Minjun.

Although Li Miao could "pinch" a new face for himself and Yin Minjun, there was even less need to wrong himself in the wild fields. So Li Miao found Yong Jie and let him arrange a quiet residence in Shaolin for the two of them to stay.

That night, Li Miao discussed the Dao with Xingchi and benefited a lot; he also quite liked this open-minded old man.

For the past two days, he had been going to Xingchi's place every day to kill time.

At this moment, Li Miao was lying on a rocking chair, his left leg crossed under his right leg, his right leg hanging down, his hands behind his head, swinging back and forth. Yin Minjun sat on the side, occasionally handing Li Miao some food.

Yong Jie sat cross-legged on the side, adjusting his meridians and stabilizing his state of mind.

Xingchi was still sitting on the mat as before, teasing the little girl. Only his complexion was increasingly pale, gradually losing the healthy look of that day.

They were each doing their own things, looking quite harmonious.

However, where Li Miao was, it generally couldn't be harmonious for too long.

"Speaking of which, I have always had one thing I wanted to ask."

Li Miao said.

"Doesn't Shaolin forbid women from entering? Why are you raising a little girl?"

"The current abbot is coaxing a child, and the next abbot is raising a daughter; that's interesting."

After getting along for these two days, Li Miao had become much more familiar with Xingchi, so he didn't pay much attention to his words, gradually revealing his essence of not respecting the old and loving the young at all. His words were filled with sarcasm; people who were not familiar with his character would fight within three sentences.

Angering old men, teasing children, and hitting middle-aged men were Li Miao's three favorite things to do.

However, Xingchi was a high monk after all; in terms of self-cultivation, he could throw Zhu Zai several streets away.

Hearing Li Miao ask this, Xingchi was not annoyed and laughed happily.

"If we talk about these precepts, I, this monk, even delivered babies in the temple back then."

"Human life is always more important than rules, isn't that right, Ling'er?"

Having said that, he used his own foot-long eyebrows to tease the little girl, making her giggle.

"If it weren't for Ling'er, my inferior disciple back then might not have converted to my Buddha."

Xingchi glanced at Yong Jie and said.

Yong Jie, who seemed to be closing his eyes and sorting out his meridians on the side, opened his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Master, I converted sincerely."

"Do your own thing! If you don't adjust your meridians well and waste my true energy, I, this monk, will dream of whipping you!"

Xingchi didn't give him any face at all.

Li Miao also understood; Xingchi and Yong Jie didn't want to talk about this matter and deliberately changed the subject.

He just asked casually and didn't dig deeper.

When it got dark, after finishing the vegetarian meal, he said goodbye to Xingchi and Yong Jie and returned to the quiet little courtyard with Yin Minjun to rest.

Li Miao nodded to Yin Minjun and returned to his room to rest on his own.

Yin Minjun, however, didn't move for a while, standing in the courtyard, her hands clutching the corner of her clothes, loosening and tightening, pursing her lips as she looked at Li Miao's room.

Tomorrow is the ceremony of passing the position.

Li Miao told her clearly that day that after the Shaolin matter ended, Li Miao would go to handle the Ming Sect's affairs and would not return afterwards. Yin Minjun would also return to the Hengshan Sect.

After today, they would be far apart, and perhaps there would be no day to meet again.

Yin Minjun could sit in the second chair of the Hengshan Sect; whether it was her character, Wu Gong, or loyalty to the Hengshan Sect, she had been tested.

She absolutely could not abandon the sect and follow Li Miao.

But to let it go so lightly, as if she were just a passerby in Li Miao's experience, she was not reconciled.

But to really do something, she couldn't muster the courage.

After a while, Yin Minjun raised her hand to beat her chest and silently recited.

"The sword takes the middle path, one must not go against one's heart."

"If I leave a flaw in my state of mind today, and my moves cannot be perfect in the future, how can I support the Hengshan Sect?"

"I am unmarried, he is unmarried; children of the Jianghu, why seek longevity?"

"Why not... why not?"

"Why not!"

Having found an excuse for herself, Yin Minjun's eyes suddenly became sharp.

With a movement of her feet, she was about to walk to Li Miao's door.

Just when Yin Minjun finally made up her mind and was about to risk a woman's face to do something big.

She heard a soft sound behind her.

"Don't move, don't look back. Move once, and you die."

A hoarse voice that was clearly suppressing its tone sounded.

In an instant, Yin Minjun felt several substantial, cold killing intents locking onto her whole body.

She even felt a fierce sword intent pressing against her back.

"A peak expert!"

Yin Minjun was also a sword expert; how could she not know what that sword intent represented?

If she made even the slightest movement, a sword would pierce her back.

Yin Minjun didn't move and said: "What does your excellency want?"

"I am just staying at Shaolin; if your excellency has anything to ask, or is seeking revenge, there is no need to find me."

That person laughed hoarsely.

"Your excellency, your words are naive."

"Master Xingchi hasn't seen you less these past few days, right? I have been watching secretly."

"Master Xingchi is passing the position tomorrow; at such a critical juncture, he stays with you all day. You say you are just staying here; who would believe that?"

He looked at the room on the side and said.

"Where is your male companion? Let him seal his own acupoints and roll out."

Yin Minjun suddenly laughed.

Just now, being suddenly pressed by a sword against her back, she was panicked for a moment and forgot that Li Miao was still there, and she was actually afraid.

What peak expert; what did he count for in front of Lord Li?

That person noticed Yin Minjun's laughter, his eyebrows twisted tightly, and he shouted sharply.

"What are you laughing at!?"

"She remembered something happy."

The door was pushed open, and Li Miao walked out slowly, looking at Yin Minjun with a light smile, then looking at that peak expert.

Yin Minjun, however, had a flushed face for a moment, at a loss, not daring to look at Li Miao who was smiling lightly.

"What happy thing?" That person frowned and asked.

"Her wife is giving birth... sigh, forget it, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."

Li Miao looked at him and said lightly.

"What is your name, where do you live, why did you come here, tell me everything."

"After you finish speaking, I will let you die quickly."
