525 Jingyin Nun (1/2)
He personally met with the grade 9 cultivators before bringing them to walk around Gantian Mountain. They talked and walked, solely for him to make them feel closer to him. Moreover, they also discussed the martial path and spell secrets.
Luckily, all successful cultivators loved peace and quiet. Zong Shou spent half a day with them before being able to get away. He arranged a good position for Ling Xueyun before returning to his palace.
He realised that Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan had long been awaiting him. What surprised him was that there were two other girls beside Zhao Yanran.
One of them was Kongyao and the other was a sixteen-year-old teenager. She was extremely beautiful, not any less than Zhao Yanran. She seemed relaxed. One look and one would know that she was an ascetic person, filled with a peaceful aura.
If she was not wearing a wide sleeved nichang which revealed her petite body, Zong Shou would have thought that she was a monk.
Speaking of which, this girl wore a little hat. Looking at the brim, it didn't look as though she grew out her hair.
Zong Shou was startled, before he smiled at Xuan Yunlan first. ”The agreement has been completed. Miss Yunlan, you actually don't have to come anymore.”
”Does Ruler not like Yunlan? Are you chasing me away?”
Seeing Zong Shou frown, Xuan Yunlan burst out laughing. ”It is I who can't leave Ruler. Beside you, my improvements in the zither are greater. Even master told me to just stay beside you.”
Zong Shou shook his head, but in his heart he was delighted. With free soul-calming tunes to listen to, it was naturally a fortunate development.
Speaking of which, this Xuan Yunlan was also a virgin, yin energy body.
Swiftly halting his thoughts, Zong Shou looked towards Zhao Yanran, using his gaze to ask questions.
Zhao Yanran didn't bother to be polite. ”This Central Cloud Continent Governor Commander, your Seven Tail Zong family uncle told me to take care of her. Once those few grade 9 experts came over, he left!”
Zong Shou smiled, since that was what he had expected. With his personality, the reason why he helped him was because he wasn't willing to see the Seven Tail Zong family fall. Now that there were grade 9 cultivators here, there wasn't much he could help with, so he had left.
What he was really curious about was this nun that had returned to society really recently.
”As for this!”
Zhao Yanran looked over with a weird expression. ”She said I am the one the Buddhas chose, and that if I joined her, she would be willing to do anything. She said that the Buddhas promised that they would help me reach the saint realm! Isn't that really funny?”
Zong Shou laughed. ”The Buddhas promised to help you reach the saint realm? That's amazing. If I were you, I would join them. So easily becoming a saint realm expert, others can only dream of such a thing. Speaking of which, what is the situation?”
Zhao Yanran spoke in an annoyed manner, ”How would I know? Didn't I break through to grade 7 a few days ago? I was excited and went to fight others. I fought a few, and this person saw it. For some reason she tagged along, asking me to join the Buddhist sect. However, her strength isn't small either.”
Following which she scoffed coldly, ”Not to mention, the thousands of worlds of the Buddhas. Although our cloud world is special, in their eyes it is just a small fish. Even if they knew about me, they wouldn't all come to a consensus on something. Am I so easy to bluff? I think this girl is crazy, just crazy.”
At this, the girl seemed to want to say something, but she did not. Although she had been wronged, she was not annoyed.
Zhao Yanran had called her a crazy person, but she did not get angry. She spoke flatly, ”It is a decree. With your identity, naturally you should know. Not long ago the temples of the world all made decrees. What they spoke of is about you...”
Zhao Yanran scoffed. She knew of it. Be it Fahua Sect, Zen Sect, Tiantai Sect, Zhengtu Sect, or others, they kept the details a secret. Who knew what the details were? Anyways, the decree was could not possibly be about her.
Zhao Yanran would be the first to admit that there wasn't much good about her, and her personality was really bad too. Her only strength was that she knew about her ability. If the decree was really for her, she definitely wouldn't betray the common people's path.
She wanted to be with men, she wanted to taste that joy. She wouldn't become a nun for that saint realm, just to read scriptures each day. To be a clear-hearted nun, so dry, with nothing interesting at all.
Zong Shou believed it a little. Looking at the girl's pure eyes and sincere expression, she did not look like she was lying. She also did not look like someone who knew how to lie.
Looking at her cultivation, it was even above his. She had most probably already formed her dharma, and reached grade 8. Looking at her age, she should be one of the top few of the younger generation.
Her status in the Buddhist school must be really high, and her words could definitely be trusted.
He also felt relieved. Even without Yuan Wushang reminding him, Zong Shou knew that the snow that day was mostly due to him.
He also knew about the temples and the Buddhist decrees.
Before this, he had thought that it was because of him, but it seemed like he had been too vain.
