651: The Immortal Saint, framed

Half an incense stick later.

Heartless returned, a gentle smile gracing his face. He sat down in front of Xie Weilou, glanced at the plain noodles before him, and chuckled, "It hasn't gotten cold yet. It seems this monk is quite punctual."

Xie Weilou looked at Heartless in surprise, "Master Heartless, what did you go out for just now?"

Heartless said with a serious expression, "This monk just arrived in this city and unexpectedly encountered a formidable thief who stole some things. Fortunately, this monk managed to retrieve them."

Upon hearing this, Xie Weilou naturally didn't believe the monk. With his unfathomable strength, what kind of thief could possibly steal from him?

Seeing Xie Weilou's disbelief, Heartless said earnestly, "Patron This Xie, this world is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, countless experts. The one who stole my things was a powerful figure from the Eastern Barrens."

"Hahaha! This monk probably went to a brothel, enjoyed himself, and then mistakenly took a girl's sachet for his money pouch. I bet he went back to get his money pouch."

"Hey! Don't say it, don't say it! It really seems to be the case."

"This monk looks extraordinary. I thought he was a high monk unfamiliar with worldly affairs, but it turns out he's an expert in the way of the world."

The men around couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xie Weilou looked at Heartless, his face stern, "Master, I never thought you were this kind of person! If you dropped money in a brothel, it should be considered as buying clothes for those girls. How could you possibly ask for it back?"

Heartless put his palms together, and said with a serious expression, "Patron, you worry too much. This monk's heart is as clear as a mirror; he disdains such sordid acts."

With that, he picked up the noodles and began to eat.

After the first bite, his eyes lit up, "These noodles taste good. It's the first time this monk has had noodles with this flavor."

Xie Weilou said, "Naturally! There are many delicious things in Xuanji Province! Master, eat more."

Heartless ate with increasing relish. After finishing a bowl of noodles, he showed a look of satisfaction.

He then pulled out an exquisite white jade storage ring from his sleeve and handed it to Xie Weilou, saying, "Patron, could you please take a look at this ring for me? This monk picked it up on the road just now."

Xie Weilou looked at Heartless in surprise, "Master, you didn't lose something and then snatch a storage ring, did you?"

Heartless's expression was sincere, "This monk truly picked it up. An ascetic does not lie."

"Then let me see."

Xie Weilou took the storage ring.

This storage ring had numerous Restriction on it that had not yet been broken, and there were soul fluctuations, clearly indicating it belonged to someone.

"Master! Did you steal this storage ring?"

Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow.

Heartless put his palms together, "amitābha, ascetics do not steal, do not kill, do not lie... Patron, please see if you can open this storage ring?"

Xie Weilou pondered for a moment, then directly acted, wiping away the Restriction and divine soul power on the ring.

He opened the storage ring and took out a pair of snow-white, silky, faintly fragrant foot coverings, adorned with exquisite patterns and mysterious runes... Xie Weilou's eyes widened. He immediately stood up and glared at Heartless, "Master, you are actually this kind of person?"

Heartless put his palms together, "amitābha, Patron, why do you slander this monk? The Restriction runes and divine soul power on this ring were all wiped away by you. This monk has no idea what's inside."

"Little thief!"

Just then, a cold voice came, and a woman in a white dress with cold eyes entered the Xuanji Building.

She had a graceful figure, a silk ribbon cinched at her waist, long and straight beautiful legs, skin like congealed fat, radiating a subtle glow, and ancient mysterious runes on her dress.

Her long, dark hair cascaded down her back, carrying a faint fragrance. A silk veil covered her face, obscuring her exact features, but a peculiar pattern adorned her brows, and her phoenix-like eyes resembled stars and the moon, deep with a hint of chill.

Her earlobes were crystalline, adorned with purple-gold pendants, her neck was snow-white, and exquisite gems hung from it... She appeared utterly peerless, transcendent, and spotlessly pure. Even more unsettling was the aura she exuded.

Even the Guixu Realm experts Xie Weilou had encountered before didn't possess an aura as terrifying as hers.

Accompanying this woman were four other veiled women.

"Longevity Saintess! It's actually the Longevity Saintess."

"They are from the Longevity Holy Land."

"..."

When some of the people present saw these five women, their pupils immediately constricted, showing extreme shock.

Some of them looked at the white-dressed woman in front, their eyes burning with fervor.

The Longevity Saintess was mysterious and unfathomable, one of the true chosen children of heaven in the Eastern Barrens.

Rumor had it that she possessed the legendary Longevity Dao Body, with extremely strong power and very high cultivation.

Countless prodigies from major powers admired her immensely, wishing to become her pursuers, yet few had ever met her. To their surprise, she appeared here today.

The Longevity Saintess was indeed as rumored, pure and flawless!

"Expert..."

Xie Weilou looked at the Longevity Saintess, his gaze narrowing. This woman was very strong, making him feel a huge threat.

The Longevity Saintess stared at Xie Weilou with cold eyes, "Lustful thief, you stole my storage ring. Today, I will surely grind your bones to dust."

A storage ring, worn on a finger, with her cultivation, who could possibly snatch it away?

But just now, this person walked past her, and her storage ring inexplicably disappeared, which was extremely strange.

She had chased him all the way here, only to see him taking out her foot coverings from her storage ring. It was truly hateful.

The thought of her foot coverings being handled and played with by someone made her skin crawl. The chill emanating from her body surged again, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and space seemed to solidify.

Xie Weilou reacted quickly, immediately tossing the foot coverings back into the storage ring. He quickly said, "Young lady, you've made a mistake. This storage ring was given to me by this monk..."

Heartless looked at Xie Weilou with a face full of resentment, "Patron, why do you slander this monk? Everyone present can testify that this monk has not left this place from beginning to end."

"That's right! This Master has been here for quite a while, he hasn't left at all."

"This man just arrived with a storage ring, and it turns out to be the Longevity Saintess's."

"Hateful! He even held the Holy Maiden's foot coverings and defiled the Holy Maiden. Unforgivable!"

The people around spoke one after another, as if possessed.

"..."

Xie Weilou's mouth twitched, and he looked at Heartless with a complicated expression.

This monk looked so holy, but his heart was black, worse than his own. He even had the means to make the people around him babble nonsense. He was truly not simple.

He had walked by the river for years, but unexpectedly, his boat capsized today.

And the way this Longevity Saintess looked at him, she seemed absolutely certain that he was the one who stole the storage ring.

He probably even transformed into his appearance just now.

Bad, too bad!

How could a monk be so bad?

Heartless raised an eyebrow, "Brother Xie, cultivators should act with integrity and uprightness. Why would you do such sordid things?"

Xie Weilou sighed, "Master, framing others is despicable! That bowl of noodles just now, it had some oil in it, and it tasted good, didn't it?"

"Hmm?"

Heartless was stunned for a second, then subconsciously looked at the empty bowl in front of him.

He glanced at the uneaten meat next to him, and his mouth twitched. He quickly stood up, went to the side, and gagged, then vomited.

His years of abstaining from meat and strong-smelling foods had been broken just like that?

Damn it, he'd met his match. This person was too wicked.

"Lustful thief, die!"

The Longevity Saintess's eyes flashed with ferocity as she attacked Xie Weilou.

"Holy Maiden, there's no need for such pursuit. This Xie's family is poor and This Xie has nothing. This Xie cannot bear your great love. Farewell!"

Xie Weilou quickly put away the storage ring, his figure moved, and he instantly disappeared from the Xuanji Building.

The Longevity Saintess also instantly vanished from the spot, immediately chasing after him...
