Master Confiscated It (Silver Bonus Chapter 5/20)

When Qin Yi said "From the moment I met you," Minghe was in a daze, and the dog on the ring was also stroking its chin in a daze.

The Liusu glanced at it sideways and said calmly, "Hey, what do you want?"

The dog didn't answer immediately.

At that moment, it sensed Qin Yi's greed, a feeling it had never felt so clearly before.

This greed was quite jarring in the presence of the usually easygoing Qin Yi. It might have surfaced occasionally at other times, but never with the intensity of this one.

If it wants to retaliate, this is the perfect opportunity... I wonder if Liusu can stop this kind of talent skill. Maybe she can. Liusu noticed the moment it made a move and seemed to have a firm grip on it.

Whether the Liusu could prevent it was another matter; it didn't immediately think of the backlash, it was just distracted.

That's a bit surprising.

After being asked this by Liusu, Gouzi thought for a while and sighed, "It's normal for him to be greedy. I've been waiting for him to show it. What's strange is that even though I waited for it, I didn't think of taking action. I'm curious about myself, not about his greed."

Liusu said calmly, "Of course it's because you're greedier."

"Um?"

"You know that by his side, you might achieve your biggest wish in this life."

The dog remained silent.

"Even if you pretend to be stupid, you're still a top-tier expert. It's impossible that you can't see the storm gathering around him. If there's a calamity in this world, he'll be the one to face it. There's nothing faster than following him." Liusu smiled. "Actually, even if you have greed, you might not be able to turn against him. Otherwise, you would have been invincible long ago."

The dog calmly said, "Of course... the so-called severing of Greed, Hatred, and Ignorance, anger, and ignorance is always a deceptive trick. There is only one kind of person in the world who is absolutely free from these three defilements."

"Taiqing?"

"Dead."

"..."

"Even someone as pure as you can. And someone like this Daoist Nun seeking the Dao... of course, can't escape it either." Gouzi laughed, "It's quite amusing to watch them deceive themselves and tear each other apart."

A Liusu slapped its face with a bone.

The dog covered its face, looking extremely aggrieved. "Why did you suddenly hit me?"

"It's really strange to see you suddenly become so arrogant." Liusu raised her head, looking down at it. "I deliberately asked you a question, Taiqing, and you're already getting cocky... I just wanted to hear you say a few flattering words, did you want to hear you show off?"

Dog: "..."

You're upset because I said you also have Greed, Hatred, and Ignorance, anger, and ignorance, right...?

However, Liusu did not refute its claim that it also had Greed, Hatred, and Ignorance, and ignorance; instead, it simply handed over a slice of melon, which the dog accepted with a sniff.

"Go ahead and enjoy your gossip." Liusu rested her head on a Spirit Stone and said leisurely, "The drama has been quite good lately, so stop thinking about those unnecessary things."

Since Minghe had said "let's give it a try," he didn't mince words and readily put away his feathers, standing up and saying, "Since we've come this far, there's really nothing else to say..."

Before he could even say goodbye, Qin Yi interrupted him, "Fellow Daoist, do you always come and go in such a hurry whenever you see me?"

Minghe remained silent.

Qin Yi said, "We've already reached Little Minghe in Huiyang, so your master can't interfere anymore."

Minghe retorted angrily, "I'm older than you!"

"Alright, alright, Minghe-jie." Qin Yi raised his hands in surrender, then said, "We haven't seen each other for so many years, can't we catch up? Have you been in seclusion all these years?"

Why should I tell you?

"Well, fellow Daoist, isn't it only natural that we've met again? Perhaps you have some thoughts about me?"

Here comes the trick again. Minghe was so angry she felt like vomiting blood. After holding it in for a long time, she finally said, "Most of them are in seclusion... Some are Cloud Wandering, but they still need to wait and see."

Minghe spoke calmly, but Qin Yi was quite surprised.

Is there still hope for China?

As if sensing what he was thinking, Minghe smiled and said, "Perhaps for some people, nothing less than a Primordial Treasure is considered a stroke of luck, but in reality... wasn't our trip to the Ancient Tomb a stroke of luck? Anything that benefits one's cultivation is a stroke of luck. Even if you come from a major sect, you don't rely on the sect for everything."

Qin Yi nodded. "That's true... It seems like I'm being unrealistic."

"It's not that you're overly ambitious, it's just that your fate is too bizarre. I still can't understand how you went down to the Netherworld in the Rift Valley, and now you can still come to the Great Wilderness..." Minghe couldn't help but still say, "I can't understand how you have new women in every place you go."

Qin Yi blushed, not knowing how to explain the situation.

Minghe seemed too lazy to talk about his affairs over the years, and changed the subject, saying, "Are you really just going to keep me chatting like this while neglecting your new wife and Meng Qingying?"

Qin Yi said, "They're discussing serious matters right now, and it seems like things are calm and they haven't started arguing... I think you might also be interested in this matter, why don't we go listen in together?"

Minghe thought about it for a while. She was indeed interested in the Netherworld, especially after reading the Nether Emperor Sect's inscription.

Hearing this, she, who had originally intended to leave, didn't want to go anymore. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "You should go and mediate with them first... I, I'll come back later."

Qin Yi assumed she just didn't want to go with him to face the two women, and felt... well, that was understandable. He was also a little worried about their conversation, thinking to himself that it was already quite remarkable that the two hadn't started fighting for so long; it was truly strange that things were so calm. He really had to go and check it out.

So the biggest problem with wanting to be a scumbag is being unable to be in two places at once. On one hand, you feel you can't abandon Minghe, but on the other hand, you're worried about what's going on there...

Fortunately, Minghe was very considerate of others. He didn't stand on ceremony and stood up, saying, "I'll go take a look first. If you're interested, you can come and listen in anytime."

Qin Yi ran away, and Minghe waited for him to leave for a while before floating up into the sky.

She wasn't worried about facing those two women if she went with Qin Yi. What was there to be afraid of about those two women? It wasn't like she couldn't win an argument with them!

Actually, she needed to report the situation of this trip to her master. After all, she had come on her master's orders, so she should give some feedback, right? Although she felt that her master was probably watching... she still had to go through the proper procedures. Minghe was a respectful and virtuous Daoist Nun.

Sure enough, before she could even activate her communication Technique Method after ascending to the heavens, Xi Yue suddenly appeared before her, smiling as she looked her over.

Minghe bowed somewhat impatiently. "Greetings, Master..."

Xi Yue looked at her with a smile for a long time before finally stopping her smile and sighing, "You still have feelings. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to prove your Qian Yuan."

Minghe protested, "There's clearly nothing left. I disrupted the wedding because Master went too far; I have a temper too!"

Xi Yue scoffed, "If she were truly heartless, even watching him on his wedding night would be like watching two monkeys; what temper would she have to express?"

Minghe was stunned for a moment, speechless.

"You're just fooling yourself." Xi Yue disdainfully held out her hand. "Give it to me."

Minghe took a half step back. "What?"

"A gift from a man proposing Seeking marriage!" Xi Yue grabbed her disciple and searched him. "You dared to hide this on your person? Do you really think your master is so easily fooled?"

Minghe clutched her belt, struggling, "No, not there! Wait, Master, this isn't Seeking marriage!"

Xi Yue quickly took the feather from her disciple's arms and tossed it around. "Whether it's for Seeking marriage, a love confession, or to make you let go or something, it won't do you any good. Your master has confiscated it."

Minghe watched helplessly as her master put away the feathers, her head drooping, unsure how to complain.

This kind of thing... it seems perfectly reasonable for Master to confiscate it, there's no argument about it...

But the things he wanted to try seemed impossible to verify.

Thinking about it from another perspective, Master is right... Even having this confiscated makes me feel heartbroken. Forcing myself to say that I'm heartless is just deceiving myself.

Seeing her disciple's pitiful expression, Xi Yue suppressed a laugh and tossed him a token, "Now that you're in the Great Wilderness, don't rush back. Take this token and go to the Far East Bodhi Temple. Their Buddhist teachings are quite remarkable; you can learn from others' experiences. If you sincerely seek their guidance, you will surely gain something."

"But Master, I want to explore the Netherworld."

Xi Yue paused, frowned slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. In the end, she only left behind a "Whatever," and then disappeared.
