Chapter 82 - 82: This Is His Purpose in Bringing Her Here
Xie Xingyun looked up and said, “Please lead the way.”
Then, he glanced at Bai Xianyu.
Bai Xianyu asked, “Do I have to go too?”
He nodded lightly.
She nodded. “Then let’s go.”
The little monk smiled and said, “Benefactors, follow me.”
The three of them meandered up the mountain path.
Before meeting Master Yu Chan, Bai Xianyu imagined that the eminent monk should have a sage-like appearance and benevolence like a living Buddha.
However, when they went around a dense bamboo forest and heard the sound of a gurgling stream and the leisurely sound of a zither, she saw a man whose gender was indistinguishable.
His face was smooth and fair, and his eyes were deep. His slender fingers were gently touching the strings of the zither.
The only flaw was that Master Yu Chan did not seem to be in good health. He looked sickly pale.
Bai Xianyu stood beside Xie Xingyun and whispered, “He’s so young.”
She had always thought that Master Yu Chan was around the same age as the abbot of this temple.
Xie Xingyun glanced at the man sitting in front of the zither thoughtfully.
Bai Xianyu could not help but say in her heart, “Isn’t this the Living Buddha?”
She waited until the zither music ended before walking up to Yu Chan curiously. “Master Yu Chan?”
Yu Chan stood up. Only then did Bai Xianyu see his face clearly.
His fox-like eyes were filled with compassion.
He even had long snow-white hair.
She was stunned and blurted out, “Aren’t you a monk? Why do you still have long hair?”
After saying that, Bai Xianyu and Yu Chan were both stunned.
The latter even coughed out blood from into his hand, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Xie Xingyun narrowed his eyes and pushed Bai Xianyu behind him. “Xiao Zheng, go get a doctor.”
Bai Xianyu did not know why she had blurted out those words, and angered him so much that he vomited blood.
Unexpectedly, Yu Chan stopped him. “It’s an old illness. I’m fine.”
With that, he glanced at Bai Xianyu.
Bai Xianyu felt that the way he looked at her was indescribably complicated.
Xie Xingyun also glanced at Bai Xianyu and said in a low voice, “Wait for me over there. I’ll talk to Master Yu Chan.”
Bai Xianyu bowed to Master Yu Chan. “I’m sorry, 1 didn’t mean to offend you.”
Yu Chan smiled calmly. “Don’t worry about it.”
Bai Xianyu smiled at him and went to sit on a stone bench at the side.
It was unknown what Master Yu Chan and Xie Xingyun talked about, but the two of them only finished chatting after Bai Xianyu had lunch.
After that, Master Yu Chan entered a thatched hut.
Xie Xingyun walked towards her with a brocade bag in his hand.
Bai Xianyu asked, “What is this?”
Xie Xingyun placed the brocade bag in front of her and stared at her with his dark eyes. “Incense.”
Bai Xianyu’s gaze fell on the palm-size brocade bag. “Did Master Yu Chan give this to you?”
“Yeah.”
Bai Xianyu’s expression gradually changed. “Is this why you brought me here?”
Xie Xingyun did not intend to expose her now since the two of them had already come this far.
“It can remind people of the person they loved the most in their previous life,” he said. “Do you still remember the ‘she’ I told you about?”
The girl nodded.
Xie Xingyun lowered his head and tucked a few strands of her hair behind Bai Xianyu’s ear. He whispered into her ear, “She was you in your previous life.”
Bai Xianyu’s heart was beating extremely fast.
The words that Xie Xingyun had said in the carriage suddenly appeared in her mind.
[Tell me… if I turn you into her…]
So that was what he had been planning from that moment on!
Even if she was not someone who had been reborn, he still wanted her to remember..
