The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

When Bao Yuluo saw this, she jumped in fright as she exclaimed. “Master!”

The two policemen wanted to rescue him, but it was too late. No one expected the trio would be so ferocious. The police were still by the side. With so many members of the audience around, they actually dared flare up and grab a hostage? By the time the two reacted, it was already too late.

“Let go of Abbot Fangzheng!” Bao Yuluo shouted.

“Shut up! Let go of Lin Wenlong or don’t blame me for killing this monk!” Wu Yue’e screamed. She wore a ferocious and baneful look.

Bao Yuluo hesitated.

The crowd blew up. No one imagined that a medical lecture would devolve into such a situation!

Xu Pu and the freckled man were dumbfounded as well. They had clearly only hired cheats, so why did they turn out to be such violent criminals? This matter could even lead to death!

With this in mind, Xu Pu and the freckled man secretly took a few steps back. By now, they knew that there would be no way to resolve the matter amiably regardless of the outcome. It would be good if Lin Wenlong and company fled, but if they were caught, they would be exposed as well. That would be trouble.

“Director, what do we do?” the freckled man asked softly.

Xu Pu wore a livid expression as he suppressed his voice and said, “We can’t have them get arrested. Think of a way to create some chaos.”

“Create chaos?” The freckled man was taken aback. He saw people everywhere. If he caused mayhem at this point, it would probably result in him being taken down in an instant.

Xu Pu narrowed his eyes and looked towards One Finger Village. The most eye-catching thing in a northeastern farming village apart from the snow were the piles of timber. When Xu Pu saw this, the corner of his lips curled up as he thought of something.

Xu Pu didn’t say a word as he rapidly went down the mountain with the freckled man.

On the mountain, Wu Yue’e roared angrily once again. At the same time, she pressed the knife down on Fangzheng’s neck. Fangzheng could even sense the iciness of the knife’s blade!

Bao Yuluo looked at Wu Yue’e’s ferocious eyes. She knew that Wu Yue’e wasn’t joking. If she were truly pushed into a corner, she would definitely have no qualms committing murder! Bao Yuluo felt quite worried, but she was suddenly stunned when she saw Fangzheng’s expression.

Anyone would feel some fear when facing a thug, right? But this monk stood there as though it had nothing to do with him. He didn’t show any signs of worry, leaving Bao Yuluo puzzled. Why is he so calm?

Wu Yue’e couldn’t see Fangzheng’s face as she hurriedly called Yang Xu over. It was safer if the two of them held Fangzheng in place. Yang Xu whispered. “Careful of that big white wolf.”

Wu Yue’e subconsciously looked over before laughing. She saw the wolf lazily slumped a distance away, yawning. When it saw her look at itself, it looked at her as though she was a retard before sprawling on the ground, sleeping.

Wu Yue’e said, “As expected of a beast. It’s not a threat.”

Yang Xu nodded as he stared at the crowd in front of him in a guarded manner.

Wu Yue’e looked at the baldy in front of her as his eyes filled with anger. If not for the darn monk, she wouldn’t have exposed herself. Just causing a bit of trouble would have allowed her to earn some money to leave. After she was done with this job, she could switch identities and carry on with her life without too much going on for a period of time. But now, her identity had been completely exposed. She would be a fugitive in the future.

With this in mind, Wu Yue’e clenched her teeth and said, “Darn monk, do you have any last words?”

Fangzheng hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes!”

Upon seeing Fangzheng being so cooperative, Wu Yue’e imagined that Fangzheng was afraid. She said smugly, “Then say them.”

Fangzheng took a deep breath and asked in all seriousness, “Patron, what dreams do you have?”

Wu Yue’e was taken aback at the monk’s question. She furiously said, “I’ll kill you if you continue spouting nonsense! What else do you have to say?”

Fangzheng hurriedly nodded and said, “Fine, begin your performance.”

Wu Yue’e’s face turned ashen! She originally imagined that the monk was afraid, but who knew that the darn baldy would start teasing her! Enraged, Wu Yue’e pressed down with her knife, so as to let him see blood and suffer!

At this moment, a roar sounded. “Stop!”

Wu Yue’e looked up and saw a cultured man walk out from the crowd. It was none other than one of the three brothers, Song Xianhe!

“You…” Wu Yue’e looked at the man and was instantly stunned. She then asked, confused, “What do you want?”

Song Xianhe smiled. “Abbot Fangzheng is accomplished in the Buddhist Dharma and has reputable medical skills. Wouldn’t it be a pity if he died? Why don’t I take his place as your hostage?”

Wu Yue’e’s eyes lit up as she looked towards Yang Xu.

Yang Xu immediately said, “Come over, or we can’t trust you.”

When Bao Yuluo heard that, she hurriedly said, “Don’t go over!”

Song Xianhe didn’t listen to her and walked over as he said, “My life is worthless, but Master Fangzheng’s life is worth much. It’s worth it to exchange my life for Master Fangzheng’s life.”

The other two policemen wanted to stop him when Wu Yue’e screamed, “If you dare stop him, I’ll kill this monk!”

The two held back from taking action for fear of any nasty acts she might pull, allowing Song Xianhe to go over.

When Song Xianhe came in front of Fangzheng, he nodded slightly. “Master, you must have been alarmed.”

Fangzheng squinted his eyes as he looked at Song Xianhe. He activated his Wisdom Eye and Dharma Eye and realized to his surprise that although Song Xianhe had a thick baneful aura, there was a complicated phenomenon within the aura, one which he had never seen before! Fangzheng seemed to see violent slashes and angry roars, with the flashes of swinging blades…

This was something Fangzheng had never seen before. At the very least, he hadn’t seen it on Lin Wenlong, Yang Xu, and Wu Yue’e. Fangzheng was somewhat taken aback. With the short amount of time given to him, Fangzheng didn’t take a detailed look, but he was certain of one thing; this matter had nothing to do with Song Xianhe. However, Song Xianhe had a karmic connection with Wu Yue’e and company, which meant that they knew each other! They might even be in cahoots.

With this in mind, Fangzheng also wished to know what they were up to. Hence, he nodded. “Patron, thank you.”

“Bald Donkey, count yourself lucky!” After saying that, Wu Yue’e pushed Fangzheng to the side and grabbed Song Xianhe. Those not in the know might not be able to tell, but Fangzheng was able to tell that her grab didn’t contain any force. Wu Yue’e didn’t place her attention on Song Xianhe either. Clearly, she wasn’t alert against Song Xianhe at all, and she was rather relaxed.

Fangzheng was increasingly certain that the two were in cahoots.

Just as Fangzheng was prepared to use his Wisdom Eye and Dharma Eye to probe further, Song Xianhe suddenly took action and grabbed Wu Yue’e’s wrist! Before she could react, he pulled her before taking one big step to slam into her.

Bam!

Everyone saw Wu Yue’e scream as she was sent flying by Song Xianhe. The railing failed to stop her fall as she flipped over the railing and fell down the cliff!

When Fangzheng saw this, he was alarmed as he cried out inwardly. This is bad! He’s trying to silence them!
