Chapter 561: Entrusting
When Grandmaster Liao Chen learned of the living Enma’s visit, he just muttered a prayer, seemingly not at all surprised, or perhaps, towards everything, he was all able to calmly face, continuing to strike the wooden fish and recite sutras, while waiting for the person to come.
And Li Hong Yuan indeed directly carried Jing Wan to Grandmaster Liao Chen’s buddhist courtyard. His buddhist courtyard was located in the deepest part of the White Dragon Temple. In other words, one for the most part need to pass through the entire temple. Along the way, don’t know how many people saw, even including a portion of the guests that came to offer incense. To be this aggressively charging through, it was practically bringing disgrace to this peaceful buddhist grounds. However, regardless whether or not they knew Li Hong Yuan’s identity, solely just looking at that imposing manner, no one dared to go forward to block.
For the White Dragon Temple, they actually never lack ‘noble personages’ coming from the capital all year round, but seeing this scene, they were still astonished, even wondering, what happened to Jin Wangfei?
Li Hong Yuan carried Jing Wan to Grandmaster Liao Chen’s buddhist courtyard. The others were left outside.
Two novice monks came out from the inside. Facing Li Hong Yuan, their two hands clasped together, slightly bending the waist. After saying a line of ‘Amitabha Buddha’, they turned their body and left from Li Hong Yuan’s side.
Originally, in Grandmaster Liao Chen’s room, aside from a bed, a cabinet, and a table, there was just the praying mat——-and normally there was just two. A chair and whatnot, didn’t exist. However, this while, there was an additional small recliner, spread with a clean cotton-padded mattress. Who it as prepared for, it was obvious and easy to tell. After all, can’t just let Li Hong Yuan sit on the praying mat while holding Jing Wan. As such, Li Hong Yuan also just directly had Jing Wan placed down, tidying her clothes and hair. Afterwards, he just sat kneeling on the praying mat before Grandmaster Liao Chen.
Calm and easy-going, his movements natural like moving clouds and flowing water, very much pleasing.
However, when Grandmaster Liao Chen met with Li Hong Yuan’s eyes that were filled with negative emotions, he slightly sighed inside. Starting from when Li Hong Yuan first looked for him, he has been striving to dispel the dark currents all around him. Unfortunately, the results were very minimal. Just, for all things and all beings, there was an emphasis on karma. Some things, one mustn’t insist on. Although unable to find out the specific origins of all this dark energy, he more or less was still able to figure out the cause. Grandmaster Liao Chen’s line of sight lightly swept over Jing Wan, “Amitabha Buddha.”
The one who ties the bell must be the one to untie it. Just, for many things, it all wasn’t that ideal. Your ideal path might just be other’s stumbling block, and they will undoubtedly think of ways to eliminate or obstruct. Thus, other people’s actions will also become the obstacle under your feet, the path becoming rugged and rough, perhaps even producing many branches, and a certain branch was probably just a dead end.
It solely depended on how the person will walk the path. Of course, this luck also can’t be lacking.
“Grandmaster, is there a cure?” Li Hong Yuan directly asked.
“No cure.” Even if facing the great demon lord, where saying something wrong might just make the other party lash out, Grandmaster Liao Chen still won’t lie, further not brushing over, nor unclear with his words. How it should be was just how it is.
The expression on Li Hong Yuan’s face didn’t change. Seemingly, towards this answer, he also wasn’t that surprised, “Wan Wan, will be fine, right?”
Li Hong Yuan has always been calm and unruffled, able to calmly deal with all things. Even if something not within his control appeared, it still wasn’t able to make him flustered. He similarly can acknowledge a loss, and even if suffering defeat, he would also just think of ways to turn the situation around. But, the major premise to all of this was that it didn’t involve Jing Wan. Once it involved Jing Wan, he would also be nervous and uneasy, feeling uncertain inside, needing someone else to come console him. Even if it’s just a lie, at this time, he was also willing to accept.
However, Grandmaster Liao Chen just said a prayer, not saying a single word more.
Just don’t know, whether this meant that certain things can’t be said, or that towards Jing Wan’s safety, he was also uncertain.
Li Hong Yuan’s expression still didn’t change. The faint nervousness just now seemingly was like as if it simply never appeared before.
TN: All
“This prince wishes to leave for a period of time, so troubling grandmaster to look after Wan Wan.”
Towards Grandmaster Liao Chen, Li Hong Yuan indeed came harboring hope, but he didn’t have all his hope placed on Grandmaster Liao Chen. Now having obtained an answer, he naturally needed to think of another way.
Originally he was prepared to have Jing Wan kept by his side no matter what, yet now, he changed his mind. Other people, he perhaps can’t trust, even including Gong mama, but Grandmaster Liao Chen was worth trusting. He believed that in Grandmaster Liao Chen’s courtyard, Jing Wan will be sufficiently safe. Towards Grandmaster Liao Chen’s abilities, in Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, it was all immeasurable. Those demons and evil spirits won’t be able to have their way here. Most importantly, Li Hong Yuan was very clear about Grandmaster Liao Chen’s ‘weakness’. Grandmaster Liao Chen doesn’t hope for him to lose his rationality, igniting large scale war. And he also knew that the thread of his rationality was held in Jing Wan’s hand. That’s why, even if something were to happen, even if giving his own life, Grandmaster Liao Chen will still protect Jing Wan.
That’s why, this trust, wasn’t towards Grandmaster Liao Chen as a person, but rather towards his ability and weakness.
Whether it be scheming or threatening, and also regardless of how high Grandmaster Liao Chen’s prestige was outside, Li Hong Yuan simply didn’t care.
Perhaps long accustomed to Li Hong Yuan’s conduct, “Amitabha Buddha. If wangye feels reassured, then this humble monk can take care of wangfei for a period of time. Just, wangye should also act quickly. Wangfei’s current condition, this humble monk at most can only preserve for three months.” Even if an enlightened sage, he was still just a mortal, not a deity. To be able to let a person not eat or drink for three months was already the limit.
Li Hong Yuan nodded, “More than enough, this prince will take one’s leave.”
If Jing Wan hadn’t met with mishap, then Li Hong Yuan didn’t mind continuing to wait, and whenever he truly loses his patience, he can then take the initiative to strike.
Just, right now, the situation didn’t allow for him to continue waiting.
Li Hong Yuan stared at Jing Wan for a moment. Just, she clearly had a heartbeat, a pulse, and breathing, yet towards his calls, just didn’t have any response. Because Li Hong Yuan was forcibly restraining himself, his entire person was just like a pool of dead water, yet at this time, he still instantly boiled over, bubbling, completely filled with gloominess.
Grandmaster Liao Chen took it all in, but just twirled the buddhist beads, silently reciting sutras.
Li Hong Yuan had his hand placed on Jing Wan’s stomach. The little guy in the stomach very cooperatively moved. Starting from yesterday, Li Hong Yuan all quite liked this movement. Even though, the child won’t react every time, but the number of times indeed was more than usual. The little thing that he disliked was his only comfort. He had it treat as a response from Jing Wan.
Li Hong Yuan was reluctant to leave Jing Wan, but when really leaving, he was also quite decisive.
In the courtyard, Li Hong Yuan’s feet didn’t stop, directly departing. Guard Qian, Gong Jiu, as well as all the shadow guards, for the most part, all didn’t hesitate, silently following after. And for Gong mama and them, they naturally just stayed behind.
Shortly after, Grandmaster Liao Chen let someone have the room next door tidied up. In the following days, that place will be for Jing Wan.
Before coming, Li Hong Yuan had already let someone prepare quite a few things. Even though it wasn’t that complete, but the things Jing Wan used everyday, for the most part, were all brought along. That’s why, that monastic room also got changed in appearance. Solely looking from the inside, no one would feel it was what a monastic room should look like. Grandmaster Liao Chen also looked over, but didn’t express anything. He has always been lenient and benevolent. As long as it wasn’t really violating the rules of the buddhist grounds, he was all quite tolerant.
And Grandmaster Liao Chen coming over was just to have an object placed in Jing Wan’s hand, “In the following three months, wangfei won’t need to consume food.”
Without needing to eat, there naturally won’t exist the various physiology problems. The bodily functions can be reduced to the lowest, but, “Grandmaster, our wangfei right now is pregnant, in this way, will it affect the child?”
“Amitabha Buddha. This is inevitable. Right now, the mother and child are one. If the mother doesn’t consume food, then the child naturally won’t be able to grow. To continue to grow, it will just drain the mother’s body. When time comes, wangfei will be in danger. However, this in exchange will also influence the child, just it won’t be able to compare with the influence on the mother’s body. The child’s growth rate will slow down by a lot. If there’s no other problems in the later stages, then the child’s birth most likely will be delayed for two months. Even so, the child’s consumption will cause the mother to rapidly waste away. The best way is still to let wangfei wake up as quickly as possible.”
Gong mama clenched her fist, “Grandmaster, can you predict our wangfei’s fortune?” In reality, Gong mama was very clear, previously when wangye was still present, perhaps he’d already predicted.
Grandmaster Liao Chen shook his head, “Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk is unable to.”
In Grandmaster Liao Chen’s eyes, Jing Wan’s threads of fate were very messy, because she was someone beyond this world, and also because Jin Qinwang defied the heavens, changing her fate. Perhaps she really had such a trial in her fate. Once this ordeal passes, her threads of fate probably will finally smooth out.
Gong mama’s thoughts inside were, perhaps the outcome was very bad, yet never thought that it was actually unable to be predicted. How come even Grandmaster Liao was all unable to predict? She who was always calm and composed, in this moment, was also shocked to the point of speechlessness.
“Wangfei is compassionate and benevolent, the heavens will bless the worthy.”
