Gongsun Bu met with Consort Yuan alone again. The latter pushed a basket in front of Gongsun Bu.
Gongsun Bu flipped through the things inside, not knowing what they meant. He looked up at her.
Consort Yuan said, "That princess sent it. She said it was a gift from some student to Guan Fangyi. Why would Qi Jing's matchmaker accept such a thing as a gift? Why do I feel that something is not right? You are someone who understands this place. You should be able to tell if there is a problem. "
After understanding the origins of the things in the basket, Gongsun Bu had a rough idea. "It looks like there is a problem, but there shouldn't be a problem. Aunt, you may not know, but this Guan Fangyi has given quite a lot of financial aid to the students in the academy …" He roughly explained the situation.
Consort Yuan understood after listening. So that was the case. Only then did she relax.
Gongsun Bu looked up from time to time. He noticed that among the group of people from Misty Pavilion, only this person refused to show her face.
This was a side room of the side courtyard. At this moment, the main hall was filled with the fragrance of wine and meat.
Yuan Se was enjoying a sumptuous feast. The delicacies were delicious and whetted his appetite.
When he was satisfied, he wiped his mouth with a white towel. When he saw Consort Yuan walk out of the side room, he said cheerfully, "You live up to your reputation. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are the best in the world."
Consort Yuan glanced at the leftovers on the table, "As long as you like it."
"I can't avoid the craving for good food. I'm ashamed." Yuan Se patted his belly and laughed. Although he said so, his face showed that he was enjoying it. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "I heard that the cooks of this Thatched Cottage Villa are all monks?"
Consort Yuan replied, "Yes! I saw it with my own eyes. They are indeed a group of monks. They were adopted by Niu Youdao years ago. They were adopted by his side to serve him. "
Yuan Se's gaze landed on the table. He clicked his tongue and said, "A group of monks can actually make a table full of meat dishes. Raising a group of monks to serve them, how refreshing. That Niu Youdao is really a person who knows how to enjoy life. Why didn't I think of that before? "
Consort Yuan said indifferently, "You have a group of beauties serving you. You know how to enjoy life better than him. That Niu Youdao is nothing compared to you. "
"Hehe!" Yuan Se did not continue the conversation and asked, "Which monk is in charge?"
Princess Yuan said, "It's a rare Golden King Bear demon. It's said to be the abbot of the Nanshan Temple. His Dharma name is Yuan Fang."
Yuan Se said, "Bring him here."
He gave the order, and not long after, Yuan Fang was brought in. After entering, he nodded and bowed, and followed the other people's greetings of "Mister" and "Auntie".
The moment Yuan Se saw this demon monk, she felt that it was funny. He clearly looked like an enlightened monk, but he was bowing and scraping. No matter how she looked at it, it was a little funny. Yuan Se couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Seems like there are still many interesting things in the human world. Yuan Fang, have you ever thought of going to the Saint Realm? "
"Saint Realm?" Yuan Fang stared blankly for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle drum. "I don't want to, and I don't dare to think about it."
Yuan Se: "Don't be afraid. If I say you can go, then you can go. Nothing will happen."
Yuan Fang probed, "Why are we going to the Saint Territory?"
"To do what you're good at, of course." Yuan Se raised his hand and pointed at the plates on the table.
"Uh …" Yuan Fang shook his head and put his palms together solemnly. "Mister, you flatter me. My old profession is chanting sutras and worshipping Buddha."
Yuan Se smiled. "You're not giving me face! There aren't many people in the world who dare to not give me face. "
It wasn't that Yuan Fang didn't give him face, but he really didn't want to go. He had his dreams to realize and had no interest in the Saint Realm at all. He carefully reminded Yuan Fang, "As far as I know, the Misty Pavilion doesn't interfere in local affairs. Mister, what you're doing is against the rules."
"Rules?" Yuan Se was amused. Such a small fry actually dared to talk about rules with him.
Princess Yuan thought of something and leaned over to his ear. She whispered, "According to the information here, this group of monks has always had a dream. They want to rebuild the Nanshan Temple and make it flourish. They're very persistent, but the situation is always changing. It's said that they tried to escape many times, but were beaten back by Niu Youdao. Every time something happened to the Thatched Cottage Villa, the monk wanted to escape. The last time was in the Purple Golden Cave. When he learned that Niu Youdao was dead, he wanted to lead a group of monks to find another way out. In the end, he was almost beaten to death by Yuan Gang and only came back to life after a long time. Oh yes, it's said that this bear demon is also very greedy. "
Yield to force but not to coax? Yuan Se chuckled and looked at Yuan Fang. "You want to rebuild the Nanshan Temple?"
Yuan Fang was suspicious. He didn't know what the two were talking about. He tried to answer, "Yes."
Yuan Se said, "Then go to the Saint Realm. Go to the Dayuan Holy Land. I'll get someone to build you the biggest temple in the world."
Yuan Fang was stunned. "The Dayuan Holy Land?"
Yuan Se smiled. "You've said it like this. Don't you know who I am? Someone who can make decisions in the Dayuan Holy Land?"
Princess Yuan was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to reveal his identity.
Yuan Fang suddenly understood something. He was shocked and in disbelief. His legs were trembling and his voice was trembling. "You … You're the Dayuan Holy Venerate?"
Yuan Se chuckled. "Is there anyone who dares to impersonate me?"
Yuan Fang was shocked. He didn't expect to be able to talk to such a person. He panicked because of what Yuan Se had said. His legs turned to jelly and he knelt down. "Greetings, Holy Venerate!"
Yuan Se said, "It's a waste of your talent to stay in such a small cottage. If you want to brew wine, cook, chant sutras, and worship Buddha, the Dayuan Holy Land has plenty of space. We can build you a big temple. Money isn't a problem either. You can have as much as you want. From now on, you'll be in charge of the food and drink of the entire Dayuan Holy Land. With this identity, you can do whatever you want in the world. No one will dare to hit you. Yuan Fang, it's decided. Follow me to the Dayuan Holy Land. "
Yuan Fang looked up. His eyes lit up. A big Nanshan Temple? A Nanshan Temple built in the Dayuan Holy Land? And in charge of the food and drink of the entire Dayuan Holy Land?
These words made him feel like he was dreaming. Now that he was in charge of the food and drink of the cottage, it was on a completely different level from the Dayuan Holy Land.
Imagine the identity of someone who was in charge of the food and drink of the Dayuan Holy Land. Even the leaders of the major sects would have to be respectful to him.
Not to mention the leaders of the major sects, even the people from the Misty Pavilion would have to be polite to him.
He was excited! He was so excited that he could not help but get up. Then, he realized something was wrong and knelt back down. He asked nervously and excitedly, "Are you serious, Holy Venerable?"
Yuan Fei immediately scolded, "How dare you! Who do you think you are? Is there a need for Holy Venerable to lie to you? "
"No, no, no!" Yuan Fang hurriedly waved his hands. His face was red. "Holy Venerable, I'm willing. I'm willing. I'm willing to follow you. I'll pray for Holy Venerable day and night in front of Buddha. I wish Holy Venerable a long life! "
Yuan Se was stunned. "Buddha? Pray for Buddha's blessings? "He was amused." Alright, that's possible. "
Concubine Yuan suddenly said, "I heard that someone heard you praying for Niu Youdao in the past."
Yuan Se's smile froze. He realized what Yuan Fei meant. It seemed to be saying that this monk prayed for Niu Youdao to die early.
Yuan Fang also understood and panicked. He hurriedly waved his hands. "It's not the same. It's not the same. Niu Youdao is a vile person. How could he be compared to Holy Venerable? Aunt might not know this, but Niu Youdao, that evil thief, is cruel and heartless. He is a vicious person and often abuses this poor monk. This poor monk can't wait for him to die. On the surface, it looks like I'm praying for him, but I'm actually praying for him to die early in front of Buddha. Sure enough, Niu Youdao committed many evil deeds and was punished by the heavens. "
This was in line with Yuan Fei's secret report. This monk was often beaten here. It was normal for him to be resentful.
Yuan Se's expression was interesting. He muttered to himself, "This demonic monk, will he also curse me behind my back in the future?"
Although he did not believe in such evil, he still coughed. "Well, as a monk, it's better to be merciful."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yuan Fang nodded. "Holy Venerable is right. I've always been merciful. I don't dare to have evil thoughts in front of Buddha. It's because Niu Youdao is too evil. Of course, it's also my fault that my cultivation is not high enough. That's why I'm angry at him."
Yuan Se nodded. "Alright, you can leave now."
"Yes, I'll take my leave. If Holy Venerable has any instructions, just send someone to inform me." Yuan Fang got up and retreated.
Yuan Fei followed him out the door. She called for Yuan Fang to stop and warned, "Mister is patrolling in secret. If you dare to leak any information and a second person finds out, be careful of your head."
There were some things that Yuan Se could not be bothered with, but she had a duty to take precautions. This was one of the reasons Yuan Se valued her so much.
Yuan Fang immediately promised, "Aunt, don't worry. I swear to Buddha that I won't leak any information. Otherwise, I'll go to hell."
"Alright, it's good that you know." Yuan Fei tilted her head and gestured for him to leave.
Yuan Fang nodded and bowed before leaving.
After he left, he turned into the back courtyard and bumped into Guan Fangyi who was waiting for him.
When the two of them bumped into each other, Yuan Fang smiled apologetically. Then, he realized something. He puffed out his chest and raised his head in front of Guan Fangyi. He even straightened his robe.
Guan Fangyi did not notice because she was looking around. She asked in a low voice, "Old Xiong, why did he call you?"
Yuan Fang looked up at the sky and said in a light tone, "Hong Niang, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. This isn't something you should ask."
"…" Guan Fangyi was stunned. Her gaze fell on his face. She looked up and down and realized that this bald donkey seemed to be a little different. She frowned and said, "Old Xiong, did you take the wrong medicine? Tell me, what's going on? "
"Hong Niang, seeing that we've been together for so many years, I don't want to make things difficult for you. Let me give you a piece of advice. Behave yourself and don't look for trouble." Yuan Fang said and left. He did not care about Guan Fangyi's feelings and walked away calmly.
Guan Fangyi was speechless. She slowly turned around and watched him leave. She then looked around again. If it weren't for the fact that there were people from the Misty Pavilion everywhere, she would have rushed over and kicked Yuan Fang's ears to find out what was going on.
Little did she know that Yuan Fang was going to the Saint Land and was going to be in charge of the affairs of the Dayuan Holy Land. Now that he had climbed up the ladder, why would he be afraid of Guan Fangyi, who was the manager of the Thatched Cottage?
In other words, he, Yuan Fang, was now a member of the Dayuan Holy Land. He would not help the Thatched Cottage anymore, nor would he dare to reveal Yuan Se's identity.
