"And how did you survive?"
This question was not accurate. After all, it was very possible that Speechless was not really dead. It was even possible that he was not completely dead. Therefore, the premise of asking 'how did I survive' was incorrect. However, the questions Shi Xiaobai wanted to ask were too many and messy. He did not know where to begin, so he could only ask in such a manner. However, Speechless was probably well aware of what he wanted to ask.
However, Speechless did not directly answer. He gave Reverend Misery Sea a faint smile and said, "Buddha says: 'Not to speak, not to speak. Once it is said, it is wrong'."
The gatha sounded baffling but when combined with the way Speechless looked at Reverend Misery Sea, it left people at a loss whether to laugh or cry. His meaning was obvious. The old bald donkey was an outsider who had yet to leave, so how could he tell him the secret? Speechless was' using Buddha to chase him away '.
Reverend Misery Sea's mood immediately turned for the worse. However, he hid it well and did not reveal his displeasure on his face. Although he was furious at Tyger Li's sudden 'betrayal', Tyger Li was a premier of a country after all. Furthermore, it involved the interests of 'expanding Shaolin and revitalizing Buddhism'. No matter how much Reverend Misery Sea hated Speechless or how many complaints he had for Tyger Li, he could not massacre the Li father-son duo whose statuses were comparable to 'emperor' and 'crown prince' in a fit of rage. Although it was easy for him to kill everyone in the yard with his strength, there were many trivial matters in the world that were beyond strength and slaughter.
Reverend Misery Sea sighed inwardly.
He could tolerate the Li father-son duo, but Shi Xiaobai could not be left alive.
The youth's talent was astounding and his potential was extraordinary. He could not ignore the ill-fated relationship he had with him. Although Reverend Misery Sea could lower his head and think of a way to resolve the ill-fated relationship and turn it into a good one, he was unwilling to turn the matter into a minor one when he thought of the youth's rebellious nature.
Reverend Misery Sea hesitated and was momentarily in a dilemma.
Tyger Li suddenly said, "Reverend, please return.
Tyger Li had taken the initiative to 'send him off'!
Reverend Misery Sea turned his head to look at Tyger Li in disbelief. He was the strongest person in Shaolin and his strength had reached the level of being conferred the title of Psionic King. He was known as the 'Buddha of the mortal world'. Even though Tyger Li enjoyed an outstanding status in the political world, why would he take the initiative to become enemies with a top expert like him?
This was illogical!
Reverend Misery Sea nearly lost control of his anger. However, when he looked at Tyger Li, his anger immediately dissipated when his eyes met Tyger Li's.
Tyrant Li's eyes appeared calm, but they were actually filled with turbulent emotions. There was a deeper meaning hidden within. This old fox in the skin of a tiger hid everything he wanted to tell him in his eyes.
Reverend Misery Sea was similarly astute and astute. He instantly understood Tyger Li's fleeting gaze that only lasted for an instant.
If the adulterous feelings were deep enough, they could communicate with each other through their eyes.
Reverend Misery Sea was enlightened as he said with a chuckle, "I see. This Penniless Monk understands."
Tyger Li said in a deadpan manner, "There are changes to my family matters, so it's inconvenient for me to stay any longer. It's good that Abbot understands. We can discuss the matter of Shaolin another day. I will definitely give Abbot a satisfactory answer."
As they spoke, the two of them exchanged glances.
Reverend Misery Sea said with a deeper meaning, "I hope Premier Li will not forget his promise."
Tyger Li nodded and said, "This Emperor has always been a man of his word."
Reverend Misery Sea turned to face the crowd and gave Shi Xiaobai a deep glance. He pressed his palms together and said, "Amitabha, This Penniless Monk bids you farewell. Everyone, we shall meet again."
After Reverend Misery Sea said that, his body suddenly ignited with golden light. Like a golden Buddha statue, he flew into the sky and with a single step, he left the courtyard and vanished.
"That old bald donkey is indeed powerful. The way he exited the stage cannot be replicated."
Speechless said wistfully.
By replicable, he was referring to the fact that Reverend Misery Sea's move had exceeded the limits of 'Mirror Replication'. It had reached a level where it could not be replicated.
Shi Xiaobai did not know any of that. He thought that Speechless was mocking Reverend Misery Sea for 'deliberately posturing' in his exit. He hesitated for a moment and was prepared to continue pressing for the answer to the 'resurrection from the dead' mystery.
However, Tyger Li was one step ahead. He said in a deep voice, "Vile spawn, was your death faked?"
Tyger Li looked at Speechless with an extremely gloomy expression. His tone was completely different from before Reverend Misery Sea left. It was stern and harsh.
Speechless turned his head to look at Tyger Li. He did not have a pleasant expression as he said with a sneer, "So what if it is? So what if it isn't? "
Tyger Li's eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze turned cold. He said coldly, "Are you testing This Emperor's patience?"
Speechless pricked up his eyebrows as a mocking smile suffused across his lips. He said, "If I don't say it, are you going to force me to drink the truth serum? I understand. Things get awkward the first time, but things get better the second time. Once you get used to it, you will no longer feel any sense of guilt. It's very normal. I do not know how much you can tolerate a son like me who is destined to inherit your father's business, nor do I have any confidence in you. However, there's one thing I'm very certain of. You will never hear a single word of truth from your son unless you force him to drink the truth serum! "
Every single one of his words was cold and piercing.
The coldness in Tyger Li's eyes turned more intense as he said coldly, "You were indeed faking your death. Everything was a scheme and an act. You had witnessed everything that happened in the hall, but you continued acting like a corpse. You are not a person who would ignore your mother and sister being in danger. You even value family more than the average person, but you did not wake up to stop it. From this, it can be seen that your plan to fake your death is extremely ambitious. What are you plotting? "
Speechless said with a sneer, "Heh heh, you are gauging the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a vile person. You even thought of something like faking your death. You are truly dark and your thoughts are warped. I am indeed dead, but my soul is in the Western Paradise. Gautama Buddha used his divine powers to let me see everything. The shameless things you did were something that even Gautama Buddha could not tolerate. He nearly cursed out loud. "
Tyger Li said coldly, "You are full of nonsense. They are all lies."
Speechless pricked up his eyebrows and said, "You don't believe the truth, but you refuse to listen to lies. It's best you take out the truth serum. I happen to be thirsty, so I'll drink it."
When Tyger Li heard this, he silently stared into Speechless's eyes.
Speechless responded with a sneer as he locked eyes with him. He did not back down at all.
Tyger Li fell silent for a long while before he suddenly turned around and walked out of the courtyard. Moments later, he disappeared into the night. He had left the courtyard without a word.
Speechless sighed as his gaze turned slightly heavy.
"Haha, the annoying bastard has finally left."
Speechless hid the heavy look in his eyes as he turned around and said with a laugh to the boy and girl behind him.
However, when he turned his head, he realized that Shi Xiaobai and Mu Lengxi's gazes were even heavier than his.
Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment before sighing. He said softly, "Were you really … faking your death?"
Speechless did not immediately deny it this time. Instead, he gave Shi Xiaobai a deep look and said with a deeper meaning, "Do you want to hear … the truth or a lie?"
