A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 600 - Do You Want Me to Kneel Down Again For You?
Chapter 600: Chapter 600 - Do You Want Me to Kneel Down Again For You?
Monk Liao Kong naturally knew that with the Princess possessing such great destiny, making her acknowledge him as her master and using her fate to help him reach greater heights wouldn’t be easy.
But he hadn’t expected retribution to arrive so swiftly.
But even so, what of it?
He wanted to take a disciple; who would dare stop him? Who *could* stop him?
In short, even though Monk Liao Kong had been struck by lightning and charred black, he still firmly believed that as the foremost Buddhist figure in the Central Plains, no one could prevent him from accepting a disciple.
With these thoughts, he teleported in front of Ji Youyuan. "Mr. Ji, isn’t it rather inappropriate to leave just like this?"
Ji Youyuan replied with utmost innocence, "Master, Heaven’s will cannot be defied! Every time our Suisui knelt to you, thunder rumbled. When she was about to kowtow to you, you were struck by lightning. Look at your state, charred on the outside and supposedly tender within—those in the know call it Heaven’s will. Those who don’t might think you’ve broken your vows!"
Ji Youyuan was in high spirits, so his words to Monk Liao Kong were still considered polite.
However, to Monk Liao Kong, they felt like sharp daggers to the heart. He was indignant. What logic dictated that he couldn’t take a girl with such significant destiny as his disciple?
"Mr. Ji, could you tell this old monk what tricks you played earlier? If you didn’t want the Princess to become my disciple, why did you agree to this old monk’s two conditions?"
"Ah, Master, you misspeak. Naturally, we hoped Suisui could become your disciple; otherwise, why would we have set those two conditions? What just happened was clearly Heaven’s will! Surely you wouldn’t go against the will of the heavens, would you?" Ji Youyuan said this, a faint, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips.
To Monk Liao Kong, that smile seemed like a mockery—mocking his audacity, mocking his attempt to defy Heaven.
"Mr. Ji, you once said that as long as this old monk fulfilled the two conditions you proposed, she would become my disciple. Are you planning to go back on your word?" Monk Liao Kong stood before the Ji Family contingent, his bald head and face charred black, only his eyes retaining some semblance of their original black and white. Next to that, his mouth, revealing a row of yellowish teeth, created a stark contrast.
"Master, what you say is true; I did indeed say that. But the current situation is that when our Suisui kowtows to you, you cannot withstand it. Heaven’s will has shown she has no affinity with Buddhism. In my opinion, Master, you should let this matter rest!"
Let it rest?
Monk Liao Kong could no longer conceal his avarice. Seeing the disciple who was on the verge of formally joining him about to slip away, he was thoroughly displeased.
"This matter cannot be rested! She just completed the kowtow and tea offering; therefore, she has already entered my Buddhist sect. So, from this moment on, she cannot take a single step out of Qixia Temple!"
Hearing Monk Liao Kong’s words, Ji Youyuan’s expression instantly transformed—stern, icy, murderous intent flickering across his face. At this moment, Ji Youyuan’s killing intent towards Liao Kong was utterly unconcealed.
"Old bald donkey! My brother initially wanted to show you some respect, but I didn’t expect you to be so eager to court death! If I don’t teach you a lesson today, then I’m not Huo Xing’Er!" Huo Xing’Er had always harbored killing intent towards Liao Kong. The moment she heard his words, she couldn’t help but step forward, the Divine Retribution Brush materializing in her hand. Simultaneously, numerous yellow talismans appeared before her, floating and enveloping the Ji Family members in a protective barrier.
Seeing her display, Zhu Xiuxiu shouted, "All unrelated personnel, leave at once! We won’t compensate for any accidental injuries or loss of life!"
As soon as she finished speaking, many people scrambled down the mountain in panic.
The Empress Dowager was terrified, her legs feeling weak. Nanny Xiao and Xie Pan’Er supported her, both of them also in a state of disarray.
"Your Majesty! What do we do now?"
The Empress Dowager, her eyes red, looked at Xiaosuisui in Ji Youyuan’s arms and said through gritted teeth, "No one can force my granddaughter to do anything she doesn’t want to! Today, I will stand right here and see who in this world dares to coerce her!"
The Empress Dowager spoke very loudly, clearly intending for Liao Kong to hear.
However, Liao Kong paid no heed to her words, continuing to exert his spiritual pressure on Ji Youyuan, attempting to subdue him with his profound Buddhist Dharma.
The Empress Dowager saw that Liao Kong did not relent even after her harsh words. Moreover, he completely ignored her. As the mother of the nation, she felt the royal authority being slighted, and her anger flared.
"Dugu Xiao! Arrest them for me!" the Empress Dowager roared, pointing at the group of novice monks and Martial Monks standing behind the Abbot.
Dugu Xiao, clad in armor and wielding a saber, stepped forward. With a wave of his hand, Soldiers advanced and surrounded the novice monks and Martial Monks.
"Empress Dowager! You are the mother of the nation and should be compassionate. Do you truly intend to imprison these Buddhist disciples who were praying for the disaster victims just this morning?" The Abbot stepped forward, trying to protect the disciples behind him.
The Empress Dowager, however, remained unmoved. "Long ago, the land was in great chaos, and the people could not make a living. At that time, how many suffered from hunger and cold? Do you know, Grandmaster? Who rose to the challenge, led the refugees, overthrew the corrupt Old Dynasty, and restored peace to the land?"
The Abbot was momentarily speechless at the Empress Dowager’s words.
At this point, Zhu Xiuxiu stepped forward. "That’s right! And you monks better not forget who provided you with a place to live! If not for our Zhu Family’s Ancestors donating money and resources to build this Qixia Temple, who knows where you’d all be now, suffering hardship and cold! It’s one thing if you’re not grateful, but to actually bite the hand that feeds you! Let me tell you, if you dare to forcibly detain our Xiaosuisui today, believe it or not, I’ll destroy your Qixia Temple immediately!" Zhu Xiuxiu roared at the Martial Monks who looked ready to resist.
Xiaosuisui, in Ji Youyuan’s arms, clapped her hands and chimed in upon hearing Zhu Xiuxiu’s words, "Destroy Qixia Temple! Destroy Qixia Temple!" Her little hands clapped with great enthusiasm.
The Abbot and all the other monks looked at Zhu Xiuxiu, a trace of guilt in their eyes. Only Liao Kong seemed oblivious to their words, his gaze still locked with Ji Youyuan’s, his expression calm and his stance firm.
"Disciple, if Qixia Temple is destroyed, you will have to wander with me, your master, begging for alms to establish a new sanctuary."
"Who’s your disciple, you old bald—"
"You’re still calling me disciple? Want me to kowtow to you again?" Huo Xing’Er was about to unleash a torrent of curses at Liao Kong, but Xiaosuisui interrupted her.
Not only did she interrupt, but she also took action. As she spoke, she wriggled out of Ji Youyuan’s arms with her short legs and jumped down.
