"You …" She glared at them. The one who felt the most upset was Xue Yue. She watched as Chen Jiu and Jingxin chatted endlessly and exposed everything. They talked and laughed happily, but no one paid any attention to her. This made her very angry.
"Stinky monk, you've carried me on your back for so many years, but you've never talked to me so much. Could it be that you've taken a fancy to my cousin?
"No, I can't let him have his way. This stinky thing doesn't even want me, but wants to lay his hands on my cousin. How can this be?" Xue Yue was jealous. She pouted and came between the two of them. "Cousin, I'm hungry!"
"Oh, I have some fruits here. Why don't you eat them first?" She chatted happily with Chen Jiu. Jingxin didn't usually get such an opportunity, so she refused to give it up.
"This …" Xue Yue took a few bites of the strange fruit and couldn't help but look at Chen Jiu with hidden bitterness. "Little Master, I'm tired!"
"If you're tired, go to sleep. We'll take good care of you!" Chen Jiu replied casually. His eyes were fixed on Jingxin's face. He found that this little girl was simply too pure and kind.
"You …" Seeing that Chen Jiu didn't even look at her, Xue Yue couldn't hold it in anymore. She shouted, "Little Master, do you like my cousin?"
"Ah, this …" Jingxin stepped back warily and glared at Chen Jiu.
"Young Miss, why do you say that?" Chen Jiu smiled and said unhurriedly, "Master Jingxin and I are like old friends the moment we met. We talk about compassion and the way of great kindness. What does this have to do with mortal emotions?"
"Is that so? Then there's no need to ask about her age, hobbies, and interests, right? "Xue Yue expressed her doubts.
"Young Miss, hobbies and interests can reflect a person's true nature to some extent!" Chen Jiu had no stage fright at all. With a straight face, he said, "For example, if a person likes to gamble, then to say that he still has a compassionate heart would be greatly discounted, wouldn't it?"
"Hmph, you're the only one who knows how to speak sweet nothings. How come I didn't notice it before?" Xue Yue was not a match for Chen Jiu. Although she was still upset, Xue Yue was not a match for him.
"Master Jingxin, Miss is tired. Why don't we go out for a discussion?" Chen Jiu suggested.
"This … let's talk about it tomorrow. I still have other things to do today!" After a pause, Jingxin's face turned red. Unknowingly, she felt that she had spoken too much.
"Alright, see you tomorrow then!" Chen Jiu did not suspect anything and sent Jingxin away.
"Stinky monk, you don't want a ready-made one and insist on pursuing my cousin. Mount Wutai is full of Daoist nuns, and you actually want to have an affair with them. You're simply delusional!" As soon as Jingxin left, Xue Yue, who was extremely familiar with Chen Jiu, began to criticize him without any trace of politeness.
"That's not true. Didn't you hear? Although Mount Wutai is mainly run by Daoist nuns, it's not that easy for the disciples below to become Daoist nuns! "Chen Jiu shook his head. He had a general understanding of everything here.
"You … you really do have bad intentions. I'm going to report you!" Xue Yue gnashed her teeth in hatred.
"Miss, don't think too much. I won't be staying here for more than a few days. How could I have an affair with Master Jingxin?" Chen Jiu advised rather helplessly. "In the future, you'll have to rely on her to take care of you. If I don't have a good relationship with her, how will you achieve meteoric success in the future? How will you stand out among your peers? Don't tell me it's because of your distant relationship with her? "
"What? You're saying that the reason you chatted so passionately with her was because you wanted to make plans for my future? "This time, Xue Yue's eyes filled with tears. She was truly moved.
"Of course. Otherwise, I'll only be staying here for a few days. What do you think I want?" Chen Jiu said with a guilt-free expression. "Besides, I haven't touched a great beauty like you for several years. If I really wanted to, why would I wait until now?"
"You … Am I really that beautiful?" Xue Yue was still a bit pleased with herself.
"Great beauty, rest well. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself. You have to work hard in your cultivation!" Chen Jiu praised and finally coaxed Xue Yue to sleep.
After closing the door, Chen Jiu walked out of the bamboo hut alone. He sighed and said, "Ai, it's a pity that I'm only a passerby. Otherwise, Jingxin, she …"
Chen Jiu didn't say much. He knew that the two of them were destined to never be together, so he didn't dare have any extravagant hopes. He wanted to have a good relationship with her. First, he liked her. Second, he wanted to stay here. Third, he hoped that she would take good care of Xue Yue in the future!
He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest. There was a lot of extreme yin energy gathered in the bamboo forest. It was precisely the yin energy that Chen Jiu needed, but he didn't dare to absorb it recklessly.
He couldn't be anxious. He had to gain Jingxin's complete trust before he could cultivate!
A day passed like this. The next day, Jingxin floated over as expected. Her slender figure, pure and kind-hearted face, and the way her fine black hair fluttered in the wind reflected the beautiful scenery of the purple bamboo forest. She was simply a captivating portrait of absolute beauty.
She was pure and flawless, with a kind charm. She had the cuteness of a little sister from the Lin family when she was obedient, and the compassion of a young lady from a big family when she was giving alms. She looked ordinary, but her exquisite facial features gave her a unique and wonderful temperament!
"Master Jiubei, can you stop staring at me?" Jingxin had no choice but to remind him when she saw that Chen Jiu was still in a daze even though she was already in front of him.
"Oh, Master Jingxin, please don't misunderstand. I only saw a bamboo leaf fluttering down in a daze. I was just lamenting the cycle of life and death!" Chen Jiu was truly eloquent. Good Dao.
"Is that so? Master Jiubei, why don't you enter the room? "Jingxin couldn't help but ask other questions.
"To me, there's no difference whether it's inside or outside the room. I'm just afraid of ruining the young lady's purity!" Chen Jiu had the demeanor of a great master.
"Master, you truly have profound attainments in the Buddhist Dharma. You're considerate of others in all aspects. It's truly rare!" Jingxin couldn't help but feel some admiration.
"I do for everyone, and everyone does for me. Only by giving can I receive something. I've given my own kindness, and I've received the gratitude of others. This is just a process of exchange. It's nothing noble. There's no need to praise me!" Chen Jiu waved his hand. His words were even more profound.
"This … Master Jiubei, I truly didn't expect you to comprehend such a concept at such a young age. It seems you're not far from enlightenment, right?" As expected, Jingxin felt even more admiration.
"No, there are some things I still can't see through!" Chen Jiu shook his head and said, "For example, Master's beauty. I've never been able to view it as the same as your ugliness!"
