Chapter 109: Orchid Temple 1

  "Are the thirty-two strong matches going to take place in a few days?" asked Xiao Yao.

  The big sister shook her head and said: "Several have already started, but none of them are our own people..."

  "No way! Have I delayed for so long? I should be able to catch up with the start of the 32 strong!" Xīao was stunned, "Could it be that I spent too much time on the road, but it didn't seem like I delayed, just dug some mines, picked some herbs, entered a few casinos, and learned some things..."

  “……”

  This didn't take long at all, honestly, knowing we're in the finals and you're not here to cheer us on, but instead doing who-knows-what on the road.

  "Do you think those things are more important than us?" The young lady asked in a bad mood.

  "Are you referring to them, or are you referring to yourself?" asked Xiao Yao.

  "What if I said me?"

  "That's definitely more important than those things!" Xiao Yao replied.

  "Bang!" The big sister gave Xiao Yao a heavy punch.

  "...He remained silent and unresisting. 'When I distinguish myself from the Mo family and my boss, I will definitely fight back!'"

  "......" The young lady hesitated for a moment, then put down her hand. "Xiao Yao, is there going to be a day when you're no longer part of the Mo family and we'll have to draw a clear line between us?"

  At this time, the tone of the big sister was somewhat emotional, as if she was a little scared, afraid that she would suddenly lose contact with Xiao Yao and have to draw a clear boundary.

  "It's up to you, if you don't want to, we don't need to draw a line! You are you, and the Mo family is the Mo family!!" Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile.

  "Why did you just say you were going to hit me?"

  "That's because you're the young mistress now, and as a servant, I naturally can't hit you back for being disobedient. But if you weren't, then I could hit you back!" Xiangyao replied.

  “……”

  It turned out to be like this, I thought it was something else and got a fright!

  "That's what I'm saying, we can still... be brothers?" The young lady said with a smile.

  "Alright!" Xiang Yao nodded.

  "It's settled then, whether or not the Mo family wants to cut ties with Seventh Sister, I am your sister and... sister!" The eldest miss originally wanted to say brother, but thought it was better to say sister instead, although this made things a bit contradictory.

  "No need, I don't want you to act like a sister, that would be weird!" Xiao Yao shook his head.

  Aren't we brothers?

  "That's right!"

  "Then you're my little brother!"

  "You can say that again!"

  "Then I'm your sister!"

  “……”

  Xiaoyao fell silent for a moment before speaking in a soft voice: "I think brother is more suitable for you..."

  ... Several girls suddenly fell silent.

  Although Da Jie is more like a boy, she's still a girl after all. This kind of title will become very strange!

  "You guys work hard and continue to achieve good results, I'll be paying attention! See you later......" Xiangyang saw that there was nothing else going on, so he prepared to take off.

  "Where are you going?" The young lady grabbed Xiao Yao tightly.

  "Go be my poor scholar, of course, go to the temple to borrow a place to stay, and take a look at the books stored in this place. Scholars must read more books, there is gold in books, there is beauty in books!! Scholar, this profession really suits me, I am so talented...". Xiao Yao became more and more excited as he spoke, then just walked away by himself.

  As expected, this kid doesn't want to be with us anymore. He said he's concerned about us, but I guess he won't even come watch us during the game!

  "Wait!"

  "Don't try to persuade me! I've made up my mind to be a poor scholar!" Xiao Yao said, shaking his head with an expression that seemed to tell everyone not to bother trying to dissuade him.

  "We didn't advise you not to be a scholar! It's just that the scholar is staying in the temple because he has nowhere else to stay, we have a place for you to stay, why do you need to go to the temple?" The speaker was Third Miss. If anyone could persuade Xiao Yao, it would definitely be Third Miss.

  Others may ask, request, plead, etc., but this is not persuasion. Only Third Miss can persuade with reason and move with emotion, this is true persuasion!

  "What you said makes some sense, but to experience the life of a poor student, I've decided to still go to the temple to stay for a few nights first. Later, I'll come to where you are now. Anyway, there's still plenty of time here and staying in one place will get boring eventually." Xīao Yáo changed his mind, but it was after that, at the beginning he was still the same.

  The big sister nodded and said: "That's also right, I'll go to the temple to borrow a place to stay!"

  “……”

  Hey, you're a woman, it's not very convenient to go to the temple. Although there are some nuns there, after all, it's a monk's temple. Women should go to the nun's temple.

  "Alright! Just in time, we have a companion!!" Xiao Yao nodded slightly, he had no opinion on this matter at all, and he wouldn't object to Big Sister going.

  "I'm going too!" said Gu Xing at this time.

  "Boss, that place isn't suitable for girls!" Xiao Yao suddenly became serious and opposed Gu Xing following them.

  “……”

  "Damn it! You little brat, what do you mean by that!" The big sister got angry again, didn't this sentence mean that she wasn't a woman? Although the sister liked women, she had never said that she herself wasn't a woman!!

  "It means girls don't belong in temples, you're fine."

  "You're kidding me!!"

  "What's wrong, are you scared?"

  "What is an old woman like me afraid of?!"

  "What else can be said?"

  "You..."

  "Alright, Mo Yu, the temple is indeed not suitable for us girls. You shouldn't go there to join in the commotion either. After all, Xiao Jia Ding only stays there at night, and during the day he's still in this imperial capital!" Nangong Suxin said, with the same reasoning as before. If this situation continues, it will definitely be endless.

  "Yes, Mo Yu, Xiao Yao isn't always staying in the temple either. When you want to see him, it's still possible to see him. Besides, it's just a few days. The monks in the temple are all chanting scriptures, he will get bored and can't stand it."

  "He's anything but bored, you don't know that he even became a monk before, maybe he'll recite scriptures together and study Buddhism!" The older sister chimed in.

  “……”

  A moment of silence... "Have you ever been a monk?"

  "Otherwise, you think on Lantern Festival evening, why he would be bald, it's because before that he was a monk, reciting scriptures..."

  “……”

  Another silence... "Xiao Jiading, you can even do this. I should admire you, but why do I feel so powerless!" Nangong Suxin looked at Xiao Yao with a somewhat powerless tone.

  "Suit yourself, I'm leaving! Actually, Buddhism isn't bad, once you understand it, it can also improve your martial arts state." Xiao Yao said casually as he led the thin horse away.

  At this time, when the Lonely Star wanted to say something, Xiao Yao added another sentence, making the Lonely Star speechless and letting Xiao Yao leave. The sentence was: "Boss, I'll prepare breakfast for you early tomorrow morning, you can focus on your cultivation!"

  He will prepare breakfast in the morning, which means he will appear in his own place in the morning. In fact, it's not much different from living together. Originally, everyone sleeps separately at night, do you want to sleep together?

  "Carefree, the largest collection of books is in the Hanlin Academy, but there are some formalities to go through. If you're not a citizen of the Great Tang Empire, you won't be able to read the innermost books." The third young lady called out from behind Carefree, reminding him.

  "Got it, thanks, see you tomorrow!" Xiao Yao nodded and parted ways with several girls.

  After Yao's departure, several girls seemed to still be in a dream-like state, because no one had expected that Yao would appear like this and then leave just like that!

  It seems different from what they imagined before, which would give them such a misunderstanding.

  Xiaoyao didn't know this, he was considering which temple to go to. In the capital of the Great Tang Empire, there were many temples inside and outside the city, but the most famous one was the Lanruo Temple!

  This Lanruo Temple is not only in the city, but also in the inner city of the imperial capital, which is unique. The others are either in the suburbs or near the outer city edge!

  It can be seen from this point that the Lanruo Temple is not ordinary, and it is said that this is because the Lanruo Temple was originally in that location, even before the Tang Dynasty capital was built.

  And legend has it that this Lanruo Temple is the birthplace of the imperial family of the Great Tang Empire, and the founding emperor once lived here for a period of time, met and fell in love with his empress here, and also formed sworn brotherhoods with the founding general here.

  Then, a fight against the evil forces here, and finally start on the road to dominance, founding a country, establishing oneself as king, then developing the kingdom, managing it for dozens of generations, developing into an empire, and then expanding the empire step by step, until today becoming the First Empire, with no one able to rival its power.

  The founding emperor's name was Ning Cai Chen, the empress was Nie Xiao Qian, and the founding general was Yan Chi Xia. As for that evil force, the leader had a nickname - Hei Shan Lao Yao!

  "No accommodation provided here!!"

  Xiao Yao was rejected, and he more or less expected this outcome. After all, this is the imperial ancestral temple of the Great Tang Empire, where members of the royal family often come to pay their respects. Only the wealthy and noble are allowed to enter and exit here; what qualifications does a poor scholar like him have to stay here?

  However, it's really annoying that he is now at the gate of Lanruo Temple and not even allowed to enter the door. Not being allowed to stay overnight is one thing, but at least let people go in to burn incense and worship Buddha.

  "Why?" asked Xiao Yao in puzzlement.

  "This is the Lanruo Temple!"

  "I know this big character!" Xiao Yao replied calmly.

  "Do you know what kind of place this is? You're just a poor scholar, and you want to stay here? Don't even mention staying, you don't even have the qualifications to enter!!"

  "Is this a temple or a palace? If it's a palace, then I can just leave, but since it's a temple, shouldn't you open the doors to welcome those who are destined to come?" Xīao furrowed his brow and said. The monk in front of him looked like nothing more than a gate-keeping novice, yet even a novice was being so arrogant, which showed the quality of this Lanruo Temple.

  The people around didn't seem to care about this situation either, as if such things happened every day!
