He had already looked inside with his ”Oirls inside the cave were untouched They were sitting at the grand hall, looking doards, ether
He saw an old rey cloak, and had a scar on the top of his head He was big in size, and looked fearso the prayers too
Through the ”Omniscient Mirror”, he could see that the old n that he was a very skilful pro, and his inner strength was cultivated close to the max The monk's poere vastly superior compared to his own He would not be an easy opponent
”Is thatasked
Chu Li gave a single nod
Zhao Ying appeared worried, ”He didn't do anything to hurt theht?”
”Not as far as I can see Co step into the cave, soon he was standing right in front of the er hideout
The old monk suddenly opened his eyes, his vision as sharp as a blade It would had sent a cold chill down a person's spine His eyes glanced across the girls once, and then he walked outside towards the grand hall When he reached the base of the mountain, he raised his head and saw Chu Li
Chu Li stood at high ground and watched hiether and said, ”I wonder who you are, monk Why did you trespass into this place?”
”I am an ordinary monk, with a kind soul” The old monk mumbled a word of prayer, and stared coldly at Chu Li, ”It makes me wonder too, what are you two here for?”
Chu Li answered, ”We are Scribes from the Yi Dynasty's Federal Government We just happened to stuang of criminals around here, hence we are here to carry out our duties We will get rid of these baddies, and save the girls”
Once he knew this overnment terms to make an excuse
”It was you who er cave?” The ht as an electrical pulse
”Chu Li nodded, ”Not bad”
”You're young but you already possess great power, I am truly impressed!” He said slowly ”This time around, I ca evil and start doing good Too bad they are already gone with the wind, I was a few steps behind What a shame!”

”If you excuse iven a chance to rid their bad behaviours, and start fresh in life”
”Sir I believe I have to disagree You say give theiven a chance for their victiive them!”
”Amitābha Do you believe in karma or reincarnation? For every consequence, there is a cause”
”Do you mean that those victiic applies to those murderers!”
Zhao Ying cut them off impatiently ”My dear monk, please step aside I need to see my sisters inside there”

”I need to speak to the stressed
”Please, go ahead------!” The htly as he stepped out of the way
Chu Li and Zhao Ying leaped down and landed on the lower ground gently They walked pass the monk Chu Li looked relaxed, but he was very determined and focused on their task at hand He was ever ready should the monk decided to attack them
This old ood intentions He was froious institutions They even called themselves the world's best, so rity
Chu Li feared the Temple of Tempest, even after they moved out of the Federal territory
The three irls sat on the futon,unnoticeably slowed down her footsteps
Chu Li let out a cough, breaking the solemn atmosphere of the hall
The group of girls raised their head towards the sound Their faces lighted up with delight
Zhao Ying followed suit and a warroup of girls, and said ”My sisters, I am here to free you all”
One of the irls stood up, and asked ”Where to, Sister Zhao?”
”Brother Chu had purchased a big house in Chong Lee Yuning town All of you could move in to there and start a new life In the future, the place would be turned into a restaurant By then, you ladies couldout of it”
On hearing that, the girls seemed to hesitate
Zhao Ying smiled and continued, ”Senior Chu said, you all need to stand on your own feet, work hard and earn a living for yourselves You could choose either staying inside the house to be astory short, you could not stay there but do nothing”
The girls nodded in reply They wereout of their own hands Not being able to do anything was an ordeal for the themselves busy at work, they could take their minds off the other more complicated matters
”Sister Zhao, what about those who choose to stay behind?”
”This place is not safe Anybody could walk in at any moment Take for example this monk, didn't he just walk in here like it's nobody's business? Fortunately, he did not have bad intentions, if not, you all would be in grave danger”
”Saviour Zhao, these girls have already devoted thes of Buddha, I, as a hu theet rid of the sins of their present life” The ether
Zhao Ying was shocked at his words, ”A conversion?”
The le nod ”That's correct They are touched by the ways of the Buddha, and they have chosen to be a follower”
”You spoke too soon, don't you think?” Zhao Ying raised an eyebrow, and took a quick glance across the girls, but they could only look back at her helplessly
Zhao Ying dragged the girl who stood up out of the hall, and started whispering to her
She lance back at theon?”
Her naentle temperament She quickly shook her head at the question and whispered back, ”He is an eminentof dharma We just felt that what he preached to us made a lot of sense Our present life was alreadyfor a better next life”
Zhao Ying looked uninterested at the topic and continued, ”Just go to Chong Lee Yuning town and start a new life Sister Zhang, there's still a lot left in our present lives!”
