After a brief pause, Chen Changqing shifted his gaze and looked straight at Rujie.
"Monk."
"You Buddhists do not lie, do you?"
"Besides, you monk, you never visit a temple without a reason."
"Spit it out!"
"If you do not, I'm leaving."
As he spoke, Chen Changqing made as if to leave.
Having been seen through by Chen Changqing, Rujie stopped pretending. Seeing Chen Changqing about to depart, he hurriedly rubbed his hands together and chuckled.
"Brother Changqing really understands this poor monk!"
"Fine, then I'll be direct."
"I came this time... to ask Brother Changqing for help."
Hearing Rujie's words, Chen Changqing was briefly taken aback before smiling faintly.
"What?"
"Does your Buddhist Sect have something like Peak Scions too?"
"Do you want me to help you fight for the position of Peak Scion?"
Previously, Rujie had sought out Chen Changqing to ask for his help accumulating merit so he could contend for the position of Buddhist Sect Holy Son.
At Chen Changqing's words, Rujie's face filled with embarrassment.
After all, he was always the one coming to Chen Changqing for help.
Yet he had never given Chen Changqing any help in return.
After a brief pause, Rujie pursed his lips before speaking.
"Brother Changqing."
"Our Buddhist Sect is different from the Shu Mountain Sacred Land."
"We have no such thing as Peak Scions."
"Last time, thanks to Brother Changqing's help in eliminating the ghosts of Yulan Stronghold, I accumulated quite a bit of merit."
"This time, I..."
At that point, Rujie stopped again.
Seeing this, Chen Changqing helplessly shook his head and sighed, rolling his eyes at Rujie in disdain.
"I say, Monk."
"Why are you always hemming and hawing?"
"If there's something, just say it!"
Upon hearing that, Rujie drew a deep breath. A flash of excitement
