Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(199) The God's Stick really was Lovable

The rain didn't stop so Xu Xian temporarily stayed in the inn.

Chu Qing-Yan slept for a day and night straight. After sleeping enough and drinking enough, her entire person's color also became a lot better.

This day, Xu Xian paid her a visit.

Chu Qing-Yan let Xi Ning give him a seat. "Great master, didn't expect you to visit Qing-Yan."

"Benefactor Chu is too polite." Xu Xian smiled slightly. "How is your injury?"

"The wound has already scabbed over, it shouldn't be much of a hinderance." Chu Qing-Yan also smiled, then half jokingly said. "Great master, including this time, you have moved to save me three times already. Qing-Yan doesn't know how to thank you. In the future if you have something that needs help, then just say so, if Qing-Yan can do it, I will definitely assist with all my strength." She thought if she can't do it, there is still Big Block of Ice, so she was not afraid.

Xu Xian smiled slightly. "Benefactor Chu, don't need to be concerned, it was merely fate. Every time, it's by chance this poor monk encounters you. If changed to someone else, they would also help."

Before, Chu Qing-Yan felt this person always chattered about god, always liked to recite Buddha principles for her to listen, always liked to urge her to take refuge in religious life. Now seeing him humbly sitting there, gaze peaceful, her heart couldn't help but also be peaceful with him. This person had saved her, it was a fact even if he doesn't care. In the future if she had the ability to help, then she'll return these life saving graces.

"Great master, I already heard about your matters from Xi Ning. Following this, where are you going?" Chu Qing-Yan curiously asked.

"Us monks who have left our homes, without a fixed home we regard the four corners of the world as our home. The first step we take outside of the temple is the beginning of our learning through experience. Life is a sea of bitterness, the duty of we disciples of Buddha is to save the common people from the abyss of suffering." He placed both hands together in prayer, inseparably close and resolute, with a gentle gaze that was both pious and solemn.

Chu Qing-Yan slightly controled her eyebrows. "Great Master, are you trying to convince me to enter a Buddhist temple again? To receive me as your disciple?"

Hearing this, Xu Xian smiled slightly. "No, not everything in nature will take its course, if many sufferings could be figured out through fortune telling and then finding a way to stop it, then that calamity won't be a calamity."

Chu Qing-Yan frowned, what is this person muttering so mysteriously about again? How come she couldn't make sense of a single word? But at least he had abandoned the idea of making her shave her head to become a nun. She could still understand this.

Seeing her very confused expression, Xu Xian sighed softly in his heart. She doesn't need to understand, as long as she lived according to her heart's thoughts, what will happen in the future, he had already tried his utmost to prevent!

"That's right, these are the Buddha's beads this poor monk had blessed in the temple. If Benefactor Chu doesn't mind, then you can keep it." Xu Xian took a string of ebony colored Buddha's beads from his sleeves. It was formed from about twenty to thirty soybean-sized ebony beads linked together. They were smooth and round but seemed plain. At one glance, Chu Qing-Yan liked it.

But Chu Qing-Yan didn't accept it, rather she blinked her eyes toward him. "Why give me such precious thing?"

"This ebony beads can keep you safe. You and I are brought together by fate. This poor monk will give this as first time meeting gift to benefactor. Moreover, this ebony Buddha bead isn't that precious." Xu Xian placed the ebony Buddha beads in her hand.
