The women fawned over him, each of them fragrant like the wind and snow, their faces full of longing. Their appearance made it hard for any man to refuse them.
Unfortunately, Chen Jiu was a monk at this time. He paused for a moment, then mercilessly said, "No, not only can I not stay, I have to leave immediately!"
"What? Master, don't abandon us. If you leave, what will happen to us? "The group of women naturally began to plead pitifully.
"Don't worry, if you want to stay here in the future, I have no objections. I will report this matter to Master and have him send people to take over. When the time comes, I will find a family for each of you to marry. You can go and live happily!" Chen Jiu thought of a way out, and planned to put all the credit on Fa Shan's head.
In this way, he would undoubtedly be able to gain Fa Shan's favor and approval!
"Master …" Chen Jiu had already made up his mind. No matter how the women tried to persuade him, it was useless. But just as Chen Jiu was about to leave, a pair of beautiful figures still followed behind him, unwilling to leave.
"Xue Yue, do you have any plans?" Chen Jiu turned his head to look. With good intentions, he asked, "Could it be that you don't want to stay here and wait to get married in the future?"
"Little Master, in your eyes, am I really that unsightly?" Looking faintly at Chen Jiu, Xue Yue was full of sadness.
"Of course not. Xue Yue, I am a monk. You should know this. You don't want me to break my precepts, do you?" Chen Jiu said helplessly.
"Alright, Little Master, since you have no desire for worldly affairs, I won't keep forcing you. I just hope that you can send me off one last time. Is that okay?" Xue Yue sighed and unexpectedly agreed.
"One last time?" Chen Jiu didn't understand.
"Little Master, I have a distant cousin who was taken away by the Heavenly Master when she was young. Presumably, she has achieved good fortune. Right now, I want to seek refuge with her. I just hope that you can send me off, okay?" Xue Yue earnestly requested.
"Oh? If that's the case, it's a good place to go. But do you know where she is? "Chen Jiu could not help but ask for more details.
"At the foot of Mount Wutai, in the Purple Bamboo Forest!" Xue Yue immediately replied.
"Uh, Wutai Mountain, where is it?" Chen Jiu frowned and asked again, because he still had something important to do.
"I don't know exactly where it is. I only know that it's in the west!" Xue Yue said with some embarrassment.
"You don't know where? How do you want me to send you off? "Chen Jiu was a little angry.
"Little Master, I'm just a weak woman. What if I run into bad guys on such a long journey?" Xue Yue faintly said in self-pity, "If I meet with any mishap, wouldn't Little Master have saved me in vain?"
"But I have other things to do!" Chen Jiu wasn't happy, because he hadn't come for Xue Yue at all.
"I'm sorry, Little Master. Then you can go. Let me fend for myself!" Xue Yue sighed, making people feel sorry for her, making people feel uneasy.
"Miss, our lives are really bitter. If we run into bad guys, seeing how beautiful we are, wouldn't we be played to death by them?" The little girl also cried and complained. Between master and servant, it was really miserable.
"You …" Looking at their weeping and resentful appearance, Chen Jiu knew that they were probably faking it, but he couldn't bear to refuse.
After all, he had been with them for a while. Although he didn't have any feelings for them, he still didn't want them to die!
Forget it, forget it. They had helped him a lot in gaining Fa Shan's trust. This showed that he and them were really fated. As the saying goes, 'Send Buddha to the West', I'll accompany them!
"Okay, don't cry. I'll go with you!" Having decided, Chen Jiu braced himself and agreed.
"Really, Little Master, you really agree?" Xue Yue's tears turned into laughter. She was very happy.
"Yes, if I don't agree, how can I watch you die?" Chen Jiu nodded helplessly.
"Ah, Little Master, you're so good to me. Thank you …" Xue Yue was pleasantly surprised. She hugged Chen Jiu in her arms and kissed him.
"Hey, Miss, show some respect!" Chen Jiu quickly shook off Xue Yue. With a face full of suspicion, he said, "Don't tell me you're up to something again?"
"No, Little Master, I really want to rely on my cousin!" Xue Yue explained with a red face. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"In that case, there's no time to lose. Let's go!" Chen Jiu didn't bother to ask again. He just wanted to send this trouble away quickly so that he could have some peace and quiet.
"Oh!" Xue Yue reluctantly agreed. She and the little girl packed up and left with Chen Jiu.
The matter of the Coal King's Mansion would be handled by Fa Shan, so Chen Jiu wasn't too worried. He took Xue Yue west all the way. They walked for dozens of days.
"Hey, Grandpa, do you know where Mount Wutai is?" Chen Jiu walked aimlessly. From time to time, he would ask passers-by. Unfortunately, the answers he received were not satisfactory.
"I've never heard of it … I don't know!" The passers-by's answers made Chen Jiu very suspicious. He stared at Xue Yue and questioned her.
"Little Master, I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, I can swear. If you still don't believe me, then you should go. If you leave me alone, I'll be taken away by bandits or eaten by Fierce Beasts. That's my fate …" Xue Yue's skill of pretending to be pitiful was even better. Chen Jiu couldn't stop worrying.
"Hey, I'm too soft. I'm too soft-hearted … "Chen Jiu finally couldn't bear to harden his heart. He took Xue Yue with him and traveled day and night.
"Little Master, you sing so well …" He inadvertently showed his talent, which made Xue Yue fall in love with him.
"Then I won't sing!" Chen Jiu looked at the little girl's eyes and shut up.
"Oh, Little Master, I'm tired. I can't walk anymore. You can carry me …" Xue Yue suddenly felt weak and almost fell.
"Hey, you've only been walking for a few days. You can't stand it anymore?" Chen Jiu scolded, "At this rate, when can we reach Mount Wutai?"
"Little Master, I really can't walk anymore!" Xue Yue felt wronged and sobbed. Chen Jiu was suspicious. He went forward and saw that her feet were indeed swollen.
While feeling distressed, Chen Jiu couldn't help but think, What should he do now? Should he carry her? If he were to carry it, wouldn't he be even more intimate with her?
