jinzhou city, southern city.

liang sheng looked at the man and woman in the room, feeling somewhat ashamed and angry. he almost became a scapegoat, but luckily, nothing happened that catered to his dirty thoughts.

“flower mother, you have suffered all these years.”

the monk’s voice was full of magnetism, and the woman called flower mother shook her head, “master, i am not suffering at all. it is an honor to serve the church. even if i die, i have no regrets.”

flower mother then took out a large pile of silver notes from her close-fitting underwear and handed them to the monk, “master, the old man only gave me this much money when he died. it was a waste for me to serve him all these years.”

the monk took the silver notes, flipped through them casually, and estimated that there were about twenty thousand silvers. but for ordinary people, this was already a huge sum.

“flower mother, there is no need to blame yourself. this is not your fault. you have already done a great job. it’s just that liang qiang was too cunning and didn’t leave the inheritance to you.

moreover, these twenty thousand silvers are already a large sum of money, which will greatly help the development of the church. your efforts over the years have not been wasted.”

listening to this, flower mother’s face was filled with excitement, “i swear to dedicate my life to the virgin mary until my death.”

“by the way, did liang qiang tell you anything else before he died other than giving you money?”

liang sheng, who was hiding on the roof outside the house, thought to himself, “did second uncle reveal anything to this woman?”

at the next moment, liang sheng breathed a sigh of relief because flower mother shook her head directly, “he didn’t say anything.

he even hid his identity from me, saying that he was an ordinary businessman, but he didn’t know that i already knew about his background.”

upon hearing this, the monk couldn’t help but feel disappointed, but he soon adjusted his mood, “if that’s the case, then you don’t need to stay in jinzhou city anymore. the church has other tasks for you.”

“alright, where should i go next, and what should i do? i will definitely carry out the church’s trust in me.”

at this moment, the monk suddenly looked towards the inner room. flower mother immediately understood his meaning, “master, now that liang qiang is dead, this little beggar girl is useless. to prevent the leakage of information, she can only ascend to paradise early.”

flower mother then entered the room, and with a direct palm strike on the little girl’s temple, the little girl died instantly.

next, the monk took out a jade bottle and sprinkled its contents onto the body. liang sheng knew what it was at a glance.

corpse dissolving powder.

as expected, within a short while, the little girl’s body completely vanished. after the two checked that no traces were left behind, they went their separate ways.

flower mother headed out of the city, while the monk walked towards liang qiang’s mansion, as he still had to continue performing the funeral rites for liang qiang the next day.

it took a long while before there was no movement in the area, and liang sheng finally, with a frown, looked at the room where the little girl’s body had vanished before sneaking away.

he had already remembered the monk’s name, but his secret actions made him suspect that jinshan temple might indeed have a big secret.

also, words such as ‘early ascension to paradise’ and ‘church’ mentioned by flower mother made liang sheng secretly vigilant. what exactly were they plotting?

…

spring went, and autumn came, another ten years passed.

jinzhou city had been extremely peaceful these ten years. after that night, there had been no movement from jinshan temple. liang sheng seemed to have just had a dream, and flower mother had never appeared again.

at this time, liang sheng was already showing some signs of aging. he was 47 years old and, for a commoner in this era, that meant being surrounded by children and grandchildren.

after liang qiang had inadvertently spoken about his youthful appearance, he managed to gradually control his facial appearance in the span of ten years.

during these ten years, since both the golden dragon technique and health cultivation method had reached the same level as his own realm, his cultivation progress was extremely slow despite having the unmoving ming king seal. therefore, he didn’t break through to the post-natal “eighth” level.

…

night.

yichun building.

a gorgeous lady nestled in liang sheng’s arms, her face filled with affection, “master, why don’t you take me back to serve you? you’ve made me worry.”

“oh?”
