Seeing Rujie Again! He Wouldn't Come Without a Reason!

Chen Changqing smiled faintly. When a disciple had told him that a monk was looking for him, Rujie had been the first person who came to mind.

After all, Rujie was the only monk he knew.

Xiaoqian glanced at Rujie, and a flicker of wariness flashed through her eyes.

The first time she had seen Chen Changqing and Rujie, the two had been working together to deal with Ghost Granny.

After they destroyed Ghost Granny, Rujie had intended to use Buddhist rites to send Xiaoqian on her way. Only Chen Changqing's intervention had spared her.

Later, Chen Changqing had given Xiaoqian a ghost cultivation technique and left her in that small town.

Xiaoqian had worked hard at her cultivation there, but she had never forgotten to help the townspeople.

As a result, despite being a ghost cultivator, she had actually earned merit.

Later, monks from Leiyin Temple had set their sights on Xiaoqian.

Those monks had slaughtered every last person in the town, then captured her to harvest the Golden Lotus of Merit from her body.

Fortunately, Chen Changqing had arrived at the critical moment. He had killed every one of those sanctimonious Leiyin Temple monks and saved Xiaoqian.

After that, Xiaoqian had followed Chen Changqing to Changqing Peak in Shushan.

Those experiences had left Xiaoqian wary and skeptical of Buddhists who spoke endlessly of saving all living beings and delivering the world from suffering.

"Master Rujie."

"What brought you here?"

After a brief silence, Chen Changqing asked the question.

Rujie smiled faintly and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed something.

The next moment, Rujie's eyes flew wide. He stared straight at Chen Changqing, his face full of disbelief.

"Hmm?"

Seeing his expression, Chen Changqing frowned slightly and asked, "What is it?"

Gulp!

Rujie could not help swallowing.
