Chapter 284: A Female Monk

The leader of the Black Lotus Sect stared intently at Mo Zhu’er.

Mo Zhu’er’s excuses were all optional existences.

Xia He wanted to burn the bridge after crossing the river and not cooperate with the Black Lotus Sect?

She said so, it was so.

Because the person was already dead, dead without evidence, Xia He’s divine soul had even dissipated, leaving no chance for reincarnation.

After Xu Chang and his group emerged, Xia He’s power was gone? Mo Zhu’er cut her losses in time?

Perhaps Xu Chang did have many advantages back then.

But who knew what would happen until the last step? So-called advantages and disadvantages were merely subjective assumptions based on the situation at the time.

Moreover, how did Xu Chang come out? That was even more intriguing.

The existence of Xu Chang and his group was a top secret within the Four Great Holy Lands and Five Major Sects. Only when the current Saint Lord or Sect Master inherited their position would they pass this information onto the next Saint Lord or Sect Master. No one else knew about it.

So, could it be that Mo Zhu’er didn’t tell someone about Xu Chang’s location?

All these things Mo Zhu’er said were just excuses.

And full of loopholes.

But despite the loopholes, they were very useful.

If others believed them, these excuses became facts.

If others didn’t believe them, these excuses became sophistry.

“Tomorrow, the Black Lotus Sect will hold an interrogation meeting. You can tell those Hall Masters and Elders these words!” The leader of the Black Lotus Sect waved his hand, “Now, you go down and think carefully about how to sophistically argue your way through these excuses with the other Hall Masters and Elders.”

“Yes, Sect Leader.” Mo Zhu’er bowed and retreated.

Watching Mo Zhu’er gradually disappear from his sight, the leader of the Black Lotus Sect slowly closed his eyes and shook his head.

“Zhu’er! How is it? Wait! Can you actually still return alive?”

As soon as Mo Zhu’er returned to her room, she saw Ruyan rushing forward anxiously, pulling her little hand.

“Why can’t I return alive?”

Mo Zhu’er smiled and gently shook off Ruyan’s small hand, pouring herself a cup of tea.

Ruyan sat beside Mo Zhu’er, her dress tightly hugging her round buttocks, outlining a beautiful curve: “Also, no matter what, he is your biological father, he won’t do anything to you. No matter what you’ve done, his heart is always towards you.”

“You’re wrong,” Mo Zhu’er shook her head, “To him, there’s only the Black Lotus Sect and his own path in his heart. In my heart, this guy is no different from Xia He, both extremely selfish. Otherwise, my mother wouldn’t have died back then.”

Ruyan sighed, “No matter what, he is still your father.”

Mo Zhu’er’s eyes curved, “I don’t have such a father.”

Ruyan: “…”

“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Ruyan waved her hand, “Then how’s your situation? Are you free of guilt?”

“Free of guilt?” Mo Zhu’er laughed, “How could that be possible? There’s another interrogation meeting tomorrow. Those old fossils will all be there. Quite a few old guys are backing other Holy Sons and Daughters. They would love for me to die so that the person they support has one less competitor.”

“This…” Ruyan stood up, pacing anxiously, “Then your situation isn’t much better either, right? I told you before, you shouldn’t have come back. We should have directly joined another sect. Even if we were hunted down by the Black Lotus Sect, so what? There are so many sects opposing the Black Lotus Sect in this world. How far can their reach extend?”

Mo Zhu’er reached out and lightly tapped Ruyan’s forehead, “Are you dumb from being a city lord too long? I naturally have my own plans, you don’t need to worry about this. There’s no way anything will happen to me.” Ruyan: “Are you that confident?”

“It’s natural.” Mo Zhu’er gently stroked her sleeve, “First, I ask you, since the Black Lotus Sect’s plan failed, that’s a fact. If the Black Lotus Sect kills me, what benefit would they get?”

“This…” Ruyan couldn’t answer for a moment.

“The Black Lotus Sect cannot gain any benefit.”

Mo Zhu’er smirked.

“The Black Lotus Sect, and even the entire Western Regions’ Devil Sects, most people are extremely selfish beings. They care only about immediate benefits.

Since Xia He is already dead, the Black Lotus Sect’s plan has failed, that’s a fact.

And I obtained the Dragon Vein of the Heavenly Profound Gate, my strength has risen to a new level. My future prospects are boundless, even reaching Xiānrén Jìng is a baseline for me, that’s also a fact.

Moreover, I’ve already completely refined the Dragon Vein.

If the Black Lotus Sect really killed me now, the Dragon Vein would be lost as well. The loss for the Black Lotus Sect would be doubled. After preparing for so many years, everything would be wasted.

If you were one of the elders of the Black Lotus Sect, what choice would you make?”

Ruyan: “…”

“Relax.”

Mo Zhu’er yawned, kicked off her little shoes, and lay sideways on the bed. Her two jade-like legs intertwined, the white delicate skin contrasting sharply with the black hem of her skirt. Her perky buttocks were like mountains, with graceful curves.

“Although many people want me dead, more people want me alive. I’ve already given the Black Lotus Sect a way out. They can only follow this way out.

For me, tomorrow is just going through the motions.”

“That’s good…” Hearing Mo Zhu’er say this, Ruyan finally relaxed.

“By the way, how is that Shixin from Lei Ming Temple? Where is she?” Mo Zhu’er asked.

“Shixin? That female monk?” Ruyan blinked, “Why do you care about her?”

Mo Zhu’er gave Ruyan a sidelong glance, “Isn’t that redundant? Shixin might very well become the leader of the entire Buddhist Daoist sect in the future.”

Ruyan looked at Mo Zhu’er incredulously, “That female monk?”

Mo Zhu’er nodded with a smile, “That female monk.”

Ruyan thought for a moment, “I don’t know the specifics, but it seems like that female monk kept heading towards the Central Plains. She should be…”

“Excuse me…” In a village, a bald woman wearing a kasaya approached asking for directions, “Could you please tell me where this place is?”

The old farmer looked at the red-lipped, snow-white-skinned woman in front of him and was astonished.

A monk?

Female?

“Excuse me, could you please tell me where this place is?” The female monk asked again, her clear eyes like heavenly water.

Despite the old farmer’s astonishment, he subconsciously stammered in reply, “This… is… the border town of Wu Kingdom, Zhulu City.”
