162: Section 162

Seeing Su Mo's bold confession, Bai Suzhen's cheeks flushed.

Just then, a cough came.

“Cough, cough.”

“Sister, I've fed the horses.”

Xiao Qing, dressed in a thin green skirt, stood at the entrance of the reception hall, looking at Su Mo and Bai Suzhen with interest.

Su Mo quickly withdrew his hand upon seeing this.

Bai Suzhen, however, was a little annoyed.

She glared at Xiao Qing.

“Xiao Qing, why aren't you hurrying to prepare the meal?”

Seeing her sister angry, Xiao Qing stuck out her tongue and walked towards the kitchen.

The atmosphere was now ruined, and Su Mo felt too awkward to hold Bai Suzhen's hand again.

Bai Suzhen gently stroked her hair upon seeing this.

At this moment.

The two, each with their own thoughts, fell into a rare silence.

...

Just then, Bai Suzhen's eyes suddenly became solemn.

Because in her eyes.

A vast Buddha-light was lingering outside her home.

And Bai Suzhen was all too familiar with the owner of this Buddha-light.

It was none other than Fahai of Jinshan Temple!

Bai Suzhen was a little angry.

Why did this Fahai choose to come at this particular moment, neither too early nor too late?!

Noticing Bai Suzhen's unease, Su Mo asked curiously.

“Bai Guniang.”

“What's wrong?”

“Your face suddenly looks so serious.”

Upon hearing these words, Bai Suzhen's eyes showed anxiety.

She really wanted to leave now.

But Su Lang was here.

What if it left a bad impression on Su Lang?

Seeing Bai Suzhen remain silent, Su Mo was unsure what she was thinking.

Just then.

Yu Luoniang's voice reached Su Mo's ears.

“Sir, a highly accomplished Great Master has arrived outside the residence.”

“Is this why Bai Guniang is acting this way?”

Hearing Yu Luoniang's words, Su Mo's heart stirred.

Could it be Fahai?

Thinking of this, Su Mo immediately felt annoyed.

Why did this old monk come here?

Immediately, Su Mo stood up.

“Bai Guniang, I suddenly realized my money pouch fell out.”

“Thinking back, I think it must have dropped when I was enjoying the scenery by West Lake.”

“I'll go out for a bit and be back soon.”

With that, Su Mo walked directly towards the main door.

He was so fast that Bai Suzhen couldn't react in time and could only watch Su Mo leave.

Su Mo opened the main door.

He saw an old monk in a red kasaya, holding a staff, pacing outside the door.

Seeing Su Mo open the door, Fahai was a little surprised.

“Su Shi Zhu, we meet again.”

“Just now, the Golden Bowl guided me here.”

“I saw you were talking happily with that snake Demon, so I didn't go in to disturb you.”

“But this old monk still has to advise Su Shi Zhu.”

“Do not get too close to Demons, otherwise, you can easily be influenced by their Devilish Qi.”

Su Mo's heart trembled when he heard that the Golden Bowl had guided Fahai to him.

Could it be because of his “Buddha-Hearted Sword Bone”?

Although he could now kill Fahai, this old monk, with a single punch, resolving Bai Suzhen's worries.

But Fahai was, after all, someone Buddha valued.

Killing him would be easy.

But what about afterward?

Thinking of this, Su Mo spoke.

“Fahai Elder, what brings you to me?”

Fahai immediately spoke.

“I merely wish to invite the young friend to Jinshan Temple for a talk. I wonder if you would grant this old monk that honor.”

“Good!”

Su Mo readily agreed.

“I will go with Great Master now.”

“But I also ask that Great Master no longer trouble Bai Guniang and Xiao Qing in the future.”

Fahai immediately nodded.

“As long as Su Shi Zhu is willing to come to Jinshan Temple with me, I will absolutely not trouble them again.”

Su Mo suddenly felt a little strange.

“Fahai Elder, why do I feel that once I go to Jinshan Temple with you, it will be difficult to return?”

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Fahai stroked his long beard.

“Rest assured.”

“You are free to come and go.”

“Su Shi Zhu can stay in Jinshan Temple for as long as he wishes.”

“Of course, he can also leave whenever he wants.”

“Good!”

With that, Su Mo followed Fahai and left.

After Fahai and Su Mo left, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing opened the main door and quietly watched their retreating figures.

Xiao Qing's eyes were now full of stars.

“Sister, Su Mo is so manly.”

“He was incredibly handsome when he defended us in front of that old bald donkey Fahai just now.”

“Why didn't I notice it before?”

“Sister, your taste is simply too good!”

Bai Suzhen, however, was filled with worry.

Because she knew that Fahai coveted the Buddha-nature in Su Lang.

Although Su Lang's Golden Body had already been given to her and Xiao Qing, his Buddha-nature remained, still possessing the potential to become a greatly virtuous Great Master.

Now.

Su Lang had gone with this Fahai.

He would definitely be persuaded by this old monk to become a monk.

It would be bad if Su Lang got confused for a moment.

Xiao Qing's mind was simple, without so many twists and turns.

She then looked at her sister.

“Sister, isn't it worth being happy that Fahai won't target us anymore?”

Bai Suzhen shook her head.

“You don't understand, Xiao Qing.”

“Never mind, if Su Lang truly becomes a monk, then I will snatch him back from that old monk Fahai!”

...

...

At this moment, Su Mo followed Fahai all the way to Jinshan Temple.

Fahai's pace was swift, as if he possessed the ability to shrink distances.

Su Mo was no slouch either.

With his strength of ten oxen and two tigers and the Muscle Change Classic divine skill, this distance was nothing to him.

Therefore.

From West Lake to Jinshan Temple, it only took half an hour.

Looking at the familiar mountain gate steps, Su Mo also felt a sense of emotion.

He had finally arrived at the place where he had lived in the simulation.

Noticing Su Mo's gaze, Fahai was a little curious.

“Su Shi Zhu, have you been to Jinshan Temple before?”

“Ah?”

Su Mo chuckled upon hearing this.

“No, it's just that I seem to have dreamt of it in a dream.”

Fahai smiled at the corner of his mouth.

“Su Shi Zhu indeed has a profound connection with Buddha.”

“Please follow me, Su Shi Zhu.”

Saying that, Fahai stepped onto the stairs leading to Jinshan Temple.

Su Mo followed closely behind.

At this moment, the monks of Jinshan Temple were all doing their evening prayers. Seeing you and Fahai approach, their eyes were filled with curiosity.

They wondered where their abbot had found someone like you.

Su Mo looked at the faces of those monks, marveling in his heart.
