"Shut up."
Just then, the elder in the green robe shouted angrily.
Then he said coldly.
"I have already learned the cause of today’s events."
"Yun Xiang, thirteen years ago, you ca to our Green Dragon Temple seeking refuge after your ordeal and beca a monk. I have looked upon you favorably, but over the years, you’ve been arrogant and insolent, often skimming off the offerings for money, causing dissatisfaction among the others in the temple."
"Yet I turned a blind eye, considering our past friendship."
"But today, you openly violated the temple rules, even colluding with outsiders to beat up our junior monks and attacking others from behind. Each and every act shows a condemnable heart, and you can no longer stay in this temple."
"I declare that from this day forward, your position as supervisor is revoked, and you are expelled from the monastic order, with notice to be sent to the Taoist Association."
"No."
Taoist Yun Xiang had been counting on the temple master to avenge him, but now he was completely dumbfounded.
Now that he had lost the use of one of his hands and was about to be expelled from the Green Dragon Temple and reported to the Taoist Association, he would be utterly disgraced.
"Brother Yun He, I... I realize my mistake. Please, give another chance, I will definitely reform," pleaded Yun Xiang through his tears.
The elder in the green robe’s expression remained frosty.
"Yun Xiang, your Taoist heart is unstable. Leave now."
Imdiately, two young disciples lifted Taoist Ma Yi and began to walk towards the courtyard exit.
"Boy, you’ve ruined , you’ve ruined , I will never let you go," Taoist Yun Xiang stared at Zhang Xiaoshan with hatred, roaring ceaselessly.
The elder in the green robe approached Zhang Xiaoshan and spoke with a softened tone.
"Young friend, today’s incident was our Green Dragon Temple’s fault."
"I apologize to you."
Zhang Xiaoshan was a bit stunned.
He thought there was going to be a big fight.
"It’s okay, they’ve paid the price anyway."
"Hehe, young friend, you are indeed magnanimous. But with your strength at such a young age, may I ask who your esteed master is?"
Zhang Xiaoshan smiled.
"My master prefers to live in seclusion and wishes to keep his identity hidden. He has forbidden from ever ntioning his na outside."
"Oh, then I was presumptuous."
"If there’s nothing else, my sister and I will be leaving."
"As you wish, young friend."
Zhang Xiaoshan left Green Dragon Temple with Luo ili.
The elder in the green robe watched Zhang Xiaoshan’s departing figure, lost in thought.
...
After leaving Green Dragon Temple, Zhang Xiaoshan and Luo ili returned to the hotel Luo ili had booked in the city earlier, where her luggage was still kept.
After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Luo ili looked even more enchanting.
"Little Shan, I’ve caused you trouble again today, I’m sorry," Luo ili said apologetically, sitting next to Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan imdiately responded.
"ili, the one who should apologize is . I failed to protect you. But from now on, you must tell when you go out, especially don’t take risks alone, and certainly don’t do sothing foolish like that for my sake."
"Was a simple talisman worth kneeling for so long?"
Luo ili spoke with her eyes misty.
"You being safe is what’s most important to ; whatever I do for that is worth it."
"Sis."
Zhang Xiaoshan kissed Luo ili, and she responded by kissing his neck as they both fell backwards together.
Entangled.
Tenderly.
After this incident, their hearts were completely intertwined.
Suddenly, Luo ili’s phone rang.
Busy as she was, Luo ili didn’t plan on answering it.
However, the phone just kept on ringing.
Reluctantly, she reached out one hand to grab it.
"Jia Lanhua?"
Looking at the caller ID, both Zhang Xiaoshan and Luo ili were dumbstruck.
"What should we do?"
"Forget it, don’t answer?"
"No, go ahead and answer it."
Luo ili pressed the answer button.
Right then, Jia Lanhua’s voice ca through the phone.
"ili, you must be done with your work, right?"
"Oh, yes, I... I’ve left Green Dragon Temple already."
Jia Lanhua’s voice trembled slightly.
That gave Jia Lanhua on the other end of the phone a clue that sothing was off.
"What are you doing, humming and hawing like that? ili, you’re not eting a lover in Yang City, are you?"
"No, no," Luo ili hurriedly and frantically denied.
"Then who are you with?"
"Who else could a widow like be with? Of course, I’m alone."
Zhang Xiaoshan at the back was laughing happily at that mont.
"Thump."
His wicked hand landed heavily on Luo ili’s back.
"Ah."
Luo ili panic-strickenly covered her mouth, terrified of making a sound.
At the sa ti, her eyes implored Zhang Xiaoshan to stop misbehaving.
But Zhang Xiaoshan was not one to let such an opportunity pass by.
"What was that noise?"
The more Jia Lanhua listened, the more suspicious she beca.
"Nothing, it’s raining today, and that was thunder outside," Luo ili explained with a shaky voice.
The more she protested, the more curious Jia Lanhua beca.
"Oh, did you see Zhang Xiaoshan?"
"Ah, Zhang Xiaoshan, I... I... how could I have seen him, isn’t he in the village?"
At that mont, Luo ili attempted to struggle, but the more she did, the more excessive Zhang Xiaoshan beca, until Luo ili finally gave up.
Jia Lanhua relentlessly kept asking.
"Alright then, if there’s no one else with you, I’ll co over, okay?"
"Aren’t you in White Dragon Village?"
"Elder Wu has co to the city to handle Zhang Yulian’s traffic accident case. I ca with him; he’s at the Security Bureau, and I’m bored by myself. Send your address, and I’ll co find you. We can go shopping together."
"Ah, well, okay then."
The call ended.
"Are you crazy, ah! If Jia Lanhua finds out, how will I ever show my face again?"
Luo ili sharply pinched Zhang Xiaoshan’s shoulder.
Her seductive gaze stirred sothing in Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Don’t worry, she’s the last person who has the right to mock you. Besides, there’s a good chance she might even envy you."
"What do you an?"
Jia Lanhua lay on Zhang Xiaoshan’s chest, looking down at him expectantly.
Zhang Xiaoshan smiled mysteriously.
"What do you think?"
