193: Encountering the Joyful Monk Again

A few minutes later, Zhang Wei sent the detailed address to Qin Shou, along with the phone number of their agency's manager.

Qin Shou hailed a Ride-hailing service, and the three of them, carrying large bags, headed towards Lake Sea Manor.

Soon after Joyful Monk left, Bai Jingming received a message from his secretary, Ji Daiyi, stating that due to a day of travel, the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission personnel planned to rest in City for a day.

Zhao Zheng's people were currently detained in the City Discipline Inspection Commission's detention room and would be transferred to the provincial level early tomorrow morning.

Bai Jingming was overjoyed upon receiving this news. If the people had truly gone to the provincial level, Bai Jingming would have been worried that Joyful Monk might not have had an opportunity to act.

But the City was different; City's official circles were almost entirely filled with Bai Jingming's people, and the Discipline Inspection Commission was no exception. With coordination from inside and out, Joyful Monk's chances of success tonight would greatly increase.

In his joy, Bai Jingming immediately sent this news to Joyful Monk, along with the detailed address of the City Discipline Inspection Commission building.

Upon receiving Bai Jingming's message, Joyful Monk immediately changed direction and headed towards the City Discipline Inspection Commission building.

However, as Joyful Monk reached the roadside, he saw a taxi speed past him.

Joyful Monk focused his gaze and was delighted, thinking, "Indeed, enemies are bound to meet. Qin Shou, oh Qin Shou, I've finally caught you."

Qin Shou had ruined Joyful Monk's plans last time, taking Xu Nanqin, who possessed the consort's physique. Joyful Monk had held a grudge ever since. He never expected to encounter Qin Shou here today.

He completely disregarded Bai Jingming's instructions, immediately used his Lotus Steps, and secretly followed him.

Joyful Monk had fought Qin Shou before and knew that Qin Shou's strength was, at most, Half-step Profound Rank, not even a proper Xuan-rank Master, relying entirely on his formidable dart techniques.

Therefore, Joyful Monk presumptuously believed that Qin Shou's senses would not be as keen as his own, and he maintained what he considered a safe distance.

"Hey, hey, hey, there's a stinky monk following us. Is he your enemy?" Li Miaomiao looked back out the car window at Joyful Monk, who was running frantically after the taxi, and couldn't help but ask Qin Shou.

Joyful Monk had no idea that Qin Shou's current cultivation was the same as his, Profound Rank Mid-stage, and he also possessed the divine sense that only Heaven Rank Masters could cultivate.

Qin Shou's senses were many times sharper than his, and he had already discovered him.

Not only had Qin Shou discovered him, but Li Miaomiao, a Xuan Rank Peak, and Nuo Nuo, a Xuan Rank Late Stage, had also noticed the monk.

"Hehe, I know!"

Qin Shou sneered, a hint of killing intent flashing across his face, then said to the taxi driver, "Driver, please pull over up ahead, thank you."

"Buddy? Getting off here? There's nothing around here, it'll be inconvenient to get another taxi later!"

The taxi driver looked bewildered, thinking, "Weren't they going to Lake Sea Manor? Why are they getting off here?"

"Yes, get off here. I'll still pay you the fare as if we went to Lake Sea Manor."

Qin Shou nodded, knowing that getting off in such a place would make it difficult for the driver to get another fare, so he proactively offered to pay more.

"Alright, then I'll drop you off by the roadside."

The taxi driver was initially a bit unhappy, but now that he heard Qin Shou offer to pay extra, he was naturally willing. He drove less but earned the same amount, who wouldn't want that?

Joyful Monk saw Qin Shou's car suddenly stop and immediately hid behind a large tree nearby, observing in secret.

He saw Qin Shou get out of the taxi with a beautiful young woman of exquisite beauty and a tender, lovely little girl. They then left the road and walked into the adjacent woods.

"Why did the car suddenly stop halfway? And why are they going into the woods? Were they discovered?"

Joyful Monk's face was unpredictable, and for a moment, he couldn't make up his mind.

"Hmph! Who cares! Anyway, this kid is only at the Half-step Profound Rank, and I severely injured him last time, so he probably hasn't fully recovered yet.

Even if he really did discover me, as long as This Humble Monk is wary of his somewhat strange golden needle magical artifact this time, he will have no chance of defeating me."

Thinking this, Joyful Monk's lips curled into a sinister smile, and he followed Qin Shou into the woods by the roadside.

Soon after Joyful Monk entered the woods, he saw Qin Shou standing there, smiling at him.

"Hehe, kid, you found This Humble Monk, yet you didn't run. You have some guts."

Joyful Monk sneered, his eyes lecherously scanning Li Miaomiao and little Nuo Nuo beside Qin Shou, thinking, "This kid truly has an enviable fortune with women. How can the girls around him be more beautiful than the last? Hehe, this tender, delicate little porcelain doll is truly adorable. This Humble Monk has never had a children's meal before; today is a good day to try something new."

"You're delivering yourself to death, why should I run?"

Qin Shou shrugged, looking indifferent.

"Hahaha, kid, you're only a Half-step Profound Rank, how dare you speak so arrogantly in front of This Humble Monk? Did Liang Jingru give you the courage?"

Joyful Monk laughed heartily, feeling as if he had heard the biggest joke of his life.

"How come you Tibetan monks also listen to Liang Jingru's songs?" Qin Shou stared at Joyful Monk with a playful expression.

"Stop being a smart aleck. After I kill you, I'll have a good time with these two little beauties, hahaha!"

As he spoke, Joyful Monk's face was filled with a lecherous smile, his fleshy cheeks trembling.

"This monk is mine, don't you dare lay a hand on him."

Just as Qin Shou was about to take out his golden needle to meet the enemy, Li Miaomiao surprisingly took the lead, blocking in front of Qin Shou.

She had recently experienced a series of misfortunes and had been repeatedly frustrated by Nuo Nuo today. Seeing this lewd and perverted monk, spewing vulgarities, made her even more furious, and she decided to use him to vent her anger and resentment.

"Hahaha, little beauty, why are you in such a hurry? This Humble Monk will surely make you feel like you're in heaven and hell later."

Joyful Monk had no idea how formidable Li Miaomiao was, still smiling lecherously, with a depraved look.

"Die, Bald Donkey, go to hell!"

Li Miaomiao's expression turned cold, and she immediately took out a hypnosis talisman, lighting it in front of Joyful Monk.

"A Taoist talisman! Are you a Taoist?"

Joyful Monk saw Li Miaomiao suddenly make a move and only then realized that he had been too arrogant earlier; this girl was not an ordinary person.

Joyful Monk dared not be careless and immediately formed a Buddhist hand seal. Instantly, a golden light erupted from his body, summoning the Immovable Wisdom King's manifestation.

"Now, kneel before me and bark like a dog!"

Seeing her hypnosis talisman burn out, Li Miaomiao immediately commanded Joyful Monk.

"Hahaha, girl, do you think only your Taoist sect has Soul Capturing Technique?"
