Just as Lu Beiyou was thinking about this, a voice suddenly came out beside him. ”Young Benefactor, may I know where your master is?”

Although his voice was gentle, it was extremely solemn and had a hint of a buddhist voice that could confuse other people.

Lu Beiyou instantly raised his head and looked over, only to see a monk dressed in gray robes smiling as he asked the child in the bun house.

The child's eyes were unfocused. It was obvious that he was confused by the monk's voice and was about to speak.

Suddenly, a chopstick shot towards the monk. The monk didn't have enough time to react and could only extend his hand to block it, but he was still injured.

The child also returned to his senses and clenched the rolling pin in his hand tightly. He looked at the monk with a vigilant expression, ”Who are you?”

The monk looked at his injured hand and the smile on his face vanished. He didn't look at the child and instead looked towards the direction where the chopsticks were coming from.

A man in a long robe who covered his face was currently eating a bun. The monk said, ”May I know who benefactor is? Why did you injure this little monk? ”

”Little monk?”

The man stopped the chopsticks in his hand and laughed. ”A monk should be very proud and cautious, not greedy or unruly. Just now, you used a buddhist chant on a child. Are you even considered a monk?”

The monk looked calm as usual, he clasped his hands and said to the child, ”Little Benefactor, I am really sorry for what happened just now, I was the one at fault. May I ask where your master is now? ”

And this man was Lu Beiyou. The moment he saw the monk, he already understood.

Logically speaking, it was best for Lu Beiyou to not get involved at this time. However, when he saw the monk taking action against the child who sold buns, he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger.

However, he did not expect the monk to not only not be angry, but also apologize to the child to strengthen his own heart.

This couldn't help but cause Lu Beiyou to take an extra glance at him.

When the child saw the monk apologizing to him, his expression softened a lot, but he did not let down his guard. He was not as simple as his peers, begging all the way here since childhood. His personality was cold and warm, and he had never experienced any sort of situation, so he could also see that monks were definitely not as simple as just asking their own masters.

”I don't know. Master just left. I don't know where he went either.”

”So it's like that.”

When the monk heard the child's reply, he did not get angry. He reached into his bosom and took out two copper coins. He smiled and said, ”Then, little benefactor, please give me a bun stuffed with cabbage.”

This time, the child did not refuse. His own master had said, ”You can't go along with anything, but you can't go against money.”

He had always remembered these words in his heart. He took the money and invited the monk to sit inside.

Without putting on an act, the monk strolled over to the seat opposite of Lu Beiyou and sat down, then looked towards Lu Beiyou and clasped his hands: ”It seems like Benefactor has come for the descendants of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets as well, right?”

Lu Beiyou did not say anything, he only extended his chopsticks and tapped on the remaining steamed bun. The bun was split into two, and the cut surface was smooth and even the gravy had not spilled out.

When the monk saw this scene, his expression was the same as usual, ”Benefactor, you don't have to scare this little monk. Since this little monk dared to sit in front of you, it means this little monk has long since left the system of life and death.”

Lu Beiyou could not help but let out a sigh, ”Why do you have to be like this? Everyone has the same goal, if you leave now, we might still be friends.”

The monk smiled, closed his eyes and whispered, ”But when I stepped in, didn't Benefactor have the intention of stopping me?”

Lu Beiyou choked with sobs. At this time, the child brought over a steaming hot steamed bun.
