Chapter 240 - The legendary illegitimate child (1)

This two-month-old baby looked rosy-cheeked and soft . Ning Yuxuan walked over to get a closer look . This child was especially obedient . It didn't fuss or cry . It just looked straight at him as it sucked on Monk Xuwu's finger and smacked its lips .

Marquis Moyu stretched his hands out to hold the baby, but Xuwu evaded his attempt .

”Don't touch him . Your aura is too foul . You'll ruin his innate pureness . ”

Xuwu was a rather famous sage monk . It was just that his personality and speech were rather bizarre . Therefore, he didn't have much contact with influential officials . Somehow, he and Ning Yuxuan had felt a sense of camaraderie when they met each other several years ago, and they became close friends .

Although they were very close, Xuwu still said whatever he was thinking without consideration for his friend's feelings . Holding the baby, he s.h.i.+fted so that his back was facing Ning Yuxuan . He added more goat milk to his finger and teased the baby with it .

”Have you washed your hands?” The corners of Ning Yuxuan's lips twitched, and he worriedly looked at the baby that was energetically holding onto that questionably clean finger .

Monk Xuwu paused before curling his lip and saying, ”The entire world is stained with dirt . When people die, they'll also become part of dirt . If you give the baby a taste of dirt now, he'll definitely have a more thorough understanding about the way of life and death in the future . ”

To put it simply, he hadn't washed his hands .

Ning Yuxuan sighed and said, ”Didn't I ask you to hire a wet nurse? How can you possible be able to do a good job taking care of him?”

Xuwu turned his head to glance at him . ”This is Xiangguo Temple . It's already difficult enough for this poor monk to hide a baby here . You still want this monk to bring a wet nurse here? You might as well just loudly proclaim to everyone that your son is here instead . ”

Ning Yuxuan couldn't argue with these words . He pursed his lips and said, ”I came here to get him . ”

Monk Xuwu became very unhappy . ”Bring him back to your blood-soaked estate? That's the same as committing an evil act . This child has very good spirituality . This monk has been thinking about raising him to adulthood . He can inherit Xiangguo Temple from this monk in the future . ”

Ning Yuxuan had originally been wavering between whether or not he should bring his child back home . But, hearing these words, Ning Yuxuan immediately went forward and took the baby away . ”Old monk, don't you dare . ”

This monk wanted to train his son to be in the next generation of bald Buddhist monks? In his dreams!

Monk Xuwu flattened his lips and shook his head . ”You're blessed in worldly affairs, but your heart isn't pure .It's because you haven't reached enlightenment, that's why you'll fail a lot of trials . Although your child has innate n.o.bility, he can stay by my side . This will protect him from many unexpected calamities . ”

Monk Xuwu flattened his lips and shook his head . ”You're blessed in worldly affairs, but your heart isn't pure . It's because you haven't reached enlightenment, that's why you'll fail a lot of trials . Although your child has innate n.o.bility, he can stay by my side . This will protect him from many unexpected calamities . ”

”I'll keep him safe . ” Ning Yuxuan lowered his head and looked at the baby in his arms . The baby's eyes greatly resembled a certain person's eyes .

Monk Xuwu sighed and said, ”This monk isn't worried about your intentions . It's whether or not you actually have the power to protect him . ” The monk put his hands together in prayer and bowed . ”Still, there's nothing more painful for a mother than to be separated from her child . You should bring him back to see his mother . ”

Ning Yuxuan closed his eyes . ”I have my own plans . ”
