At night, Ren Baqian was soaking in the bathtub. Surrounded by warm water, he moaned comfortably.
It took him more than half a month to travel to and from the Golden Ring Residence, and his body felt like it was falling apart. He couldn't wait to take a bath and relax after returning to Earth.
As a northerner, he loved to take a bath. Taking a bath for a while could eliminate most of his fatigue.
He turned on the television while taking a bath. The first thing that appeared was the news.
First was the new air traffic control regulations. Recently, flying motorcycles were becoming more and more common on television. Some of the wealthier people in the country bought them from overseas. This time, the country reacted quickly and immediately introduced new air traffic control regulations. Flying equipment like flying motorcycles had to be approved by the relevant departments before they could be used. However, ordinary people knew that it was impossible to obtain such approval.
The next piece of news was related to him. It was about the "Golden Medicine." This was the business of the two medical projects that he and the Chen family were collaborating on. To be more precise, it was an entire pharmaceutical company that controlled the pharmaceutical factories under its banner.
The laboratory was completely independent of this pharmaceutical company.
Ren Baqian watched for a while and realized that it was about the new leukemia drug. In fact, the new drug was still in clinical trials and hadn't been put into production yet. However, it seemed to be effective as it was directly on the news.
Due to Ren Baqian's special status, the cooperation with the Chen family was considered smooth sailing. Along the way, there were people protecting and giving them the green light. Everything went smoothly.
After watching the news, Ren Baqian switched off the television, changed his clothes, and went downstairs. The empress was still sitting there eating ice cream and watching a television series.
Ren Baqian felt as if he had seen this scene hundreds or thousands of times. Almost every time he was on Earth, he would see the empress in this posture.
Ren Baqian scooted over to the empress's side and sat down. He conveniently picked up the ice cream that the empress had placed on the table and was about to put it into his mouth. A gust of wind blew past, and Ren Baqian looked at the empress with his empty hands. In her left hand was a chocolate bar and in her right was a snowman.
Sure enough, it wasn't easy to snatch food from the empress's mouth.
Ren Baqian leaned back.
"There's someone outside," the empress said after finishing the chocolate and throwing the ice cream stick into the trash can.
"Who?"
"I don't know." After the empress finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
Ren Baqian shuffled his slippers and opened the door. He saw a dirty little baldy in a gray monk's robe standing in front of the door and looking up at him. He was about eight or nine years old and looked rather likable with red lips and white teeth. However, what's with the tears in his eyes?
"Arhat, I've finally found you." The little monk pouted and looked like he was about to cry.
"I mistook you for someone else."
Boom!
Ren Baqian immediately closed the door.
"Ridiculous!" Ren Baqian mumbled and was about to leave when the doorbell rang again.
"You got the wrong person!" Ren Baqian opened the door and said seriously.
"Master asked me to look for you!" the little monk said pitifully.
"You have mistaken me for someone else … I'm not Arhat, and I don't know your master …" If it were someone else, he would have beaten him up. He really couldn't bear to hurt a seven or eight-year-old little monk.
After realizing this, Ren Baqian suddenly realized why he couldn't defeat Tong Lan. Too small, I can't do it!
Ren Baqian sighed. He was still too soft-hearted and should ask the empress to change his opponent when he returned.
"My master is the abbot of the Jingxin Temple in the East Sea, Su Wen! He said that he had met you once! " The little monk said quickly. He picked up a yellow bundle from the ground and opened it, revealing four peaches inside. As soon as he opened it, a fragrant and sweet smell wafted out and filled the entire door. The smell even drifted into the room.
Ren Baqian stared blankly for a moment and recalled the delicate and pretty monk that he had met before.
He had indeed met him once.
However, was this little monk really looking for him? How did he find him? Why was he looking for him?
"These are spiritual peaches from the temple. Master asked me to bring four for you, Arhat," the little monk said while wiping his saliva.
The smell was really tempting. Not to mention him, even Ren Baqian couldn't help but reach out.
The smell of the peaches was really tempting. This was the first time Ren Baqian had seen a peach that could emit such a sweet smell. He couldn't eat it, but he could smell it just by holding it there. Furthermore, it made him salivate.
"What a fragrant smell." The empress's voice sounded behind Ren Baqian.
"Xing Ruo greets Lady Benefactor! Master asked me to bring these over! " The little monk raised the yellow bundle in his hand. A jade-like hand passed by Ren Baqian and two peaches went missing.
Ren Baqian was speechless.
Since the empress had already taken the peaches from Ren Baqian, there was no way she wouldn't allow Ren Baqian to enter the house. Ren Baqian had already taken the peaches from Ren Baqian.
However, this monk Su Wen was really weird.
Could it be that these four peaches were part of his plan?
Ren Baqian thought what he said previously was a coincidence.
This time, it couldn't be a coincidence that this little monk found him, right?
The image of that gigolo in his mind immediately became unfathomable.
"Come in!" Ren Baqian stepped aside.
"Yes!" The little monk put his palms together and entered the room.
"Sit!" Ren Baqian brought the little monk into the room and pointed to the sofa opposite him.
"Why did your master ask you to look for me?" Ren Baqian asked.
As Ren Baqian spoke, a crunching sound came from the side. In the blink of an eye, a peach entered the empress's stomach.
"Master said that my opportunity lies with Arhat." The little monk tried his best not to look at the empress eating the peach while drooling. He put his palms together and said to Ren Baqian.
"What opportunity?"
"The opportunity to attain enlightenment."
"Who am I? How did you know that Su Wen asked you to look for me? Why did he call me Arhat? "
"You are Bodhisattva and Arhat. Because Arhat walks the path of Bodhisattva, you are naturally Arhat, "Xing Ruo said.
"What's the path of Bodhisattva?" Ren Baqian frowned.
"There is the Great Wish of Salvation, self-cultivation, and salvation for all sentient beings. This is the path of Bodhisattva." The little monk put his palms together and said, "Arhat walks the path of Bodhisattva, which is a good deed. It is the goal of all cultivators."
Ren Baqian sat there motionlessly and frowned. Was this Su Wen really that godly?
Ren Baqian had just thought of spreading Buddhism to Tianjing Basin so that the people there would believe in Buddhism and be more honest. However, Su Wen gave him the title of an arhat and even sent him a monk.
The Great Wish of Salvation? Ren Baqian wanted to spread the religion of science and technology in the other world. He wanted to combine science with martial arts, and his original intention wasn't to spread Buddhism.
Salvation for all sentient beings … Ren Baqian wanted to spread technology to that world, increase productivity, and improve people's lives. Was this considered salvation for all sentient beings?
Or was this salvation for all sentient beings referring to the teachings of Buddhism?
No matter what, this was too coincidental. It was so coincidental that it scared Ren Baqian.
Could it be that what he said previously really meant something?
Did he know what he wanted to do this time?
Was there really such a person in this world? How was this possible?
"What did your master say when you came?" Ren Baqian asked.
"Master said that I'm already a big boy and should snatch men from women … and women from men …" The little monk said innocently.
Ren Baqian stared at Xing Ruo. Did Su Wen say this? That unfathomable pretty boy monk?
Su Wen, you are quite mischievous!
At first glance, he felt that these words were quite mischievous. However, after thinking about it carefully, these words had a deeper meaning!
"This fruit …" The empress had been silent since she ate a peach and only spoke now.
"Is there a problem?" Ren Baqian stood up and asked.
"It's quite delicious …"
