Badu of Heavenly Sound Temple, Hua Xing's Younger Brother?

At the same time, Hua Xing also took the opportunity to look at Rujie.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that Rujie was dressed in a moon-white robe, plump and with an oily face.

"Ha ha!"

Rujie strode forward, he stared directly at Chen Changqing and said:

"I thought I had mistaken you for someone else!"

"I never expected it to be you, Fellow Daoist Changqing!"

Chen Changqing was surprised; he hadn't expected to encounter Rujie here.

Looking back, his first encounter with Rujie was in a small town.

At that time, the two of them were only at the Core Formation Realm.

For Rujie set his sights on ghosts, hoping to accumulate merit through them.

But worried that he was not strong enough to deal with the ghosts, he sought out Chen Changqing.

Subsequently, the two joined forces and successfully killed Granny Ghost, who possessed the cultivation level of Ghost General.

Originally Rujie planned to make a move against Xiaoqian of the Ghost Race, but Chen Changqing stopped him.

It was because of this incident that the two became acquainted.

After that, Chen Changqing went to the Universe Secret Realm of the Dao Sect for training.

Along the way, they encountered Rujie again.

Inside the Secret Realm, Chen Changqing also rescued Rujie and helped him successfully find the inheritance Secret Realm.

"How come I keep running into this guy everywhere I go?"

Chen Changqing muttered to himself, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated. He truly hadn't expected to encounter Rujie here.

It's important to understand that this "Rujie" is not some monk who strictly adheres to rules and regulations; he's an expert in drinking alcohol and eating meat!

The key issue is that if a monk encounters a pretty young girl, he might also try to leer at her.

On the way to the Dao Sect, Hua Yao was with them.

Rujie did not hesitate to fawn over Hua Yao.

Unfortunately, Hua Yao had absolutely no liking for this wine—and -Flowery Monk- loving monk.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Changqing came to his senses, smiled at Rujie, and asked:

"Monk."

How did you get here?

Rujie smiled slightly, made no attempt to hide anything, and replied:

"My master and I have come here to take care of some things."

"Out of boredom, I thought I'd check out this Nine Provinces Auction House auction."

"I never expected to meet Changqing Daoist Changqing here!"

Rujie said excitedly.

He felt deeply grateful to Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing has provided him with a lot of help along the way.

As he spoke, Rujie countered with a question:

"Changqing Daoist Changqing."

What are you doing here?

Chen Changqing smiled faintly and replied:

"Like you, monk, I'm here on some business. I heard that the Nine Provinces Auction House is going to hold an auction, so I came to join in the fun!"

Upon Rujie nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Hua Xing, who was standing next to Chen Changqing.

"Who is this senior?"

Rujie asked with a curious expression, unable to detect the slightest trace of Hua Xing's aura.

Seeing that Hua Xing was composed and reserved, exuding a simple and genuine aura, I guessed that this old man must be extraordinary.

Chen Changqing smiled slightly and introduced:

"Rujie, this is Hua Yao's grandfather!"

"Senior Hua Xing!"

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's introduction, Rujie's eyes lit up.

He knew Hua Yao; the three of them had once traveled to the Dao Sect together.

Rujie was quite fond of this young lady, but unfortunately, Hua Yao didn't pay any attention to him at all.

Besides, Rujie also noticed that Hua Yao was deeply in love with Chen Changqing.

Now that he knows that Chen Changqing came out with Hua Yao's grandfather, Rujie understands.

It turns out that Chen Changqing and Hua Yao have already progressed to the point of meeting each other's parents.

Thinking of this, Ru Jie gave Chen Changqing a strange look Rujie unintentionally.

Then, he turned to look at Hua Xing, put his hands together, and performed a Buddhist salute.

"Junior Heavenly Sound Temple Rujie greets Senior Hua Xing!"

"Oh?"

"People from Heavenly Sound Temple?"

Hua Xing was slightly surprised after hearing Rujie said.

But he quickly regained his composure and asked casually:

"Who are you, Badu?"

Upon hearing Hua Xing's question, Rujie was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Hua Xing knew his grandmaster.

It should be noted that his grandmaster Zen Master Badu, was the Pillar of Stability of Heavenly Sound Temple, with unfathomable cultivation, and was a true Title True Lord level figure.

Over the years, Zen Master Badu has remained in seclusion at Heavenly Sound Temple, so much so that few people outside the temple mention his name.

After a moment of shock, Rujie quickly regained his composure and, not daring to be negligent, hurriedly replied:

"Replying to Senior Hua Xing."

"Zen Master Badu is my grandmaster."

At this point, Rujie paused slightly, then changed the subject and asked in return:

"Since you know my master, you must know him, right?"

When Rujie asked, Hua Xing didn't rush to answer; instead, a complex look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

Chen Changqing noticed this, frowned, and a thought began to linger in his mind:

"Could it be that Senior Hua Xing has some connection with Zen Master Badu of Heavenly Sound Temple?"

Just as Chen Changqing hesitated, Hua Xing snapped out of his reverie and replied:

"Badu... is my younger brother."

Upon hearing this, Rujie was stunned into silence, his expression filled with overwhelming astonishment.

At the same time, Chen Changqing was also incredulous at Hua Xing's words.

He had just been wondering what the relationship was between Hua Xing and Badu of Heavenly Sound Temple, but who would have thought that the two were actually brothers.

"Ah?"

"My grandmaster is... is he the senior's younger brother?"

Rujie muttered in surprise, he was somewhat taken aback.

The relationship between the two was truly unexpected.

Who would have thought that there was such an astonishing relationship between the Supreme Elder of Medicine God Valley and the highly accomplished monk of Heavenly Sound Temple?

Hua Xing didn't pay attention to the two people's shock and subconsciously recalled the past.

After a moment's thought, he took a deep breath and looked straight at Rujie:

"It seems your grandmaster never mentioned his secular life before becoming a monk to you younger generations."

Hua Xing felt a mix of emotions about his younger brother, who had chosen to become a monk.

In his view, if it weren't for that incident back then...

Given his younger brother's talent and temperament, it's possible that he might not be the one currently in charge of Medicine God Valley.

Rujie hearing what Hua Xing said, Ru Jie looked slightly embarrassed.

His grandmaster, Zen Master Badu, held an extremely high position in Heavenly Sound Temple, and it was not someone he, as a mere disciple, could easily meet.

Moreover, since Zen Master Badu chose to enter the Buddhist order, it means that he has completely severed ties with his past worldly affairs.

To bring it up again would contradict the Buddhist principles of purity and emptiness!

Then, Hua Xing didn't continue talking about his Zen Master Badu. He waved his hand and changed the subject:

"Alright, the auction is about to begin, let's go in!"

After saying that, Hua Xing took the lead and walked into the auction house.

Chen Changqing and Rujie exchanged a glance and quickly followed Hua Xing's steps.

Before long, the three entered the auction house.

Upon seeing this, a steward quickly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Do the three of you have an invitation to enter?"
