Chapter 597: Chapter 112 Sun and Moon Wheel_3
“I, as a humble monk, save the world; what wrong have I done?”
The Jade Sword Buddha firmly refused, and in the next mont, was pulled back to sit beside Gu Wen. First, he smoothed over her wounds, then applied his energy to dispel the poison, and finally cast a spell to cleanse her clothes.
He also took the ti to wipe the bloodstains from her head, restoring the image of a pristine platinum nun.
Though she has tempted him several tis, Gu Wen maintained great self-control, behaving like a traditional scholar, strictly adhering to propriety, contrary to his otherwise dissolute words and deeds.
Often, Gu Wen would express matters of love outright, believing that the affection between n and won is rely about intent, and all other ceremonial formalities are but burdenso.
Gu Wen fetched a damp towel, wiped the Jade Sword Buddha’s face, and jested, “In this way, I too rid the world of evil for the common folk.”
The Jade Sword Buddha, sowhat puzzled, asked, “What do you an by this?”
“You rid the people of evil; I rid you of filth, allowing Master Yu to better rid the people of evil.”
“Pfft…”
The Jade Sword Buddha couldn’t help but smile slightly, but she quickly cald her expression, making it seem like a fleeting illusion.
She said, “Benefactor Gu is indeed a remarkable man; no wonder even soone as proud and lofty as Yu Hua would beco jealous, seeking to grant a wish, and yet needing to consider closeness and distance.”
“What did she say to you?”
The Jade Sword Buddha glanced at Chi Yu Zi, seeing he was in a deep sleep, his divine sense not extended outward, and answered, “Yu Hua wished I would beco your new companion, stay by your side, and share the sa bed.”
Gu Wen listened quietly, as he was always a good listener, even when it ca to matters regarding his “deceased wife,” without losing composure or interrupting.
The Jade Sword Buddha intermittently spoke more, explaining the entire sequence of events.
Essentially, Yu Hua sought out the Jade Sword Buddha to be his new partner, to which the latter gladly agreed.
Amid this, there were many disparaging comnts about him.
“Wen, a man of lust, particularly fond of the plump.”
The Jade Sword Buddha smiled lightly and said, “Now speaking as a humble monk, Wen is lustful but exercises great self-control. I, as a humble monk, find it difficult to fulfill the entrusted wish, seeing that you are determined to go your own way.”
“Is the Master planning to leave?”
Gu Wen’s mind was as clear as a mirror.
Over the years, refining the Dao Fruit, he now saw initial results and explained the causes and effects.
Most likely, she would leave.
The Jade Sword Buddha, neither confirming nor denying, said, “I have already proven the Buddha Heart, now there is a thod to save the world, and I dare not slack off for a mont. Moreover, I fear if I stay for so more ti, I might not want to leave anymore.”
“Why?”
“I fear my heart will beco unsettled.”
She changed her form of self-address, appearing more intimate.
Just like how Gu Wen would address outsiders as “the poor Daoist,” while referring to himself as “I” among close ones.
The Jade Sword Buddha candidly stated, “All people have desires and constraints. Immortals seek the world, yet beco its enemies. I seek the Buddhist Law, yet am at odds with the Buddhist Sect. The Sword Master seeks the prosperity of the Sword Cultivators, yet opposes the Daoist Sect…”
She continuously gave examples, her words seemingly infused with the clamor of war.
Why was Xiao Yunyi injured while wielding the Immortal Sword? Because he openly defied the Immortals.
Why did the Jade Sword Buddha kneel before the Buddha? Because she was at odds with the Buddha Ancestor.
Why did Yin Yang Heavenly Venerate Hee Huan transform into a Heavenly Person, if not for the breakthrough? It was because of venturing into internal power struggles, taking shortcuts, and leaving behind hidden ailnts.
And then there were Lan Yongning, Lu Chan, and even the three from the Three Pure Daoist lineage; virtually all old acquaintances, harboring great desires, all paying the price for it.
Yet when it ca to Gu Wen, he always managed to resolve things lightly, without demanding anything in return.
“Being beside you, I only see freedom, making one naturally let go of grand aspirations.”
After listening, Gu Wen calmly said, “Your mind is unsettled, why not cross over together with ? Should the Master secularize, I am willing to dedicate myself to you.”
The atmosphere was sowhat tense, but his last words made the Jade Sword Buddha’s stern expression break into a smile.
She shook her head and said teasingly, “No wonder Yu Hua says you have a slick tongue, always being uncouth. I will not go; everyone has their own aspirations, and mine do not lie here.”
Gu Wen said disappointedly, “You all truly dishearten ; not a single one willing to run away with .”
His friends and relatives were each more arrogant, each with greater ambitions.
If they won’t move their feet, I can move my dwelling.
