long chen was speechless for a moment.
he had thought it through thoroughly. in his current state, if he were to force himself to be together with ye zhi-qiu, it would definitely bring endless trouble to both him and ye zhi-qiu.
because the ye family didn't like him who couldn't walk the martial path.
he didn't care if he was implicated, but he didn't want to implicate ye zhi-qiu.
but seeing ye zhiqiu personally come to shaolin for him, long chen was not a piece of wood. he was naturally touched.
ye zhi-qiu stared at long chen, his eyes a little red: "say something, what do you mean by not saying anything?"
"then, do you want to stay here too?"
long chen stared at ye zhiqiu.
ye zhi-qiu looked at long chen's serious expression and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"are you stupid? i'm a woman, why would i live in a temple?"
ye zhi-qiu stretched out his hand, lightly hitting long chen.
long chen scratched his head and said, " i don't think it'll affect me. i can live there. maybe i'll recover after a while. at that time, i'll take you back. your family won't object. "
"is that so?" "don't tell me you found a way to recover here?"
"i ..."
"i didn't find it." jingxin's voice suddenly interrupted long chen's words.
then, jingxin quickly walked over.
" zhiqiu, this is master jingxin. he's been of great help to me. "
long chen introduced.
"ye zhi-qiu greets grandmaster."
ye zhi-qiu saluted.
"female almsgiver, there's no need to be so polite." jingxin said, " female almsgiver, almsgiver chen hasn't found any recovery methods here. he might not be able to walk the martial path for the rest of his life. if that's the case, can you overcome the pressure from your family and be with almsgiver chen? "
"of course you can." "i don't care who he is, whether he can walk the martial path or not, it doesn't matter. i only care about him as a person."
"that might not be the case." jingxin smiled and said, " i can see that benefactor chen's family background is extraordinary. if your family members are unwilling, how can you escape the imperial city and be with benefactor chen? " in the end, you still have to get past your family.
in this poor monk's opinion, female almsgiver should let go. the sadness will only last for a while, but you don't need to accept the pressure from the family."
"impossible." ye zhi-qiu immediately said very calmly: " master jingxin, i think i've already made myself very clear. i, ye zhiqiu, am not a person who goes back on his words. if i say it, i will definitely do it. "
" master, i believe in zhiqiu's character. "
long chen said softly.
"haha, good, good."
jingxin laughed.
ye zhiqiu and long chen both stared at jingxin in surprise.
jingxin said with a smile, " there's no need to be confused. i was just testing benefactor ye. benefactor chen, you and benefactor ye are a match made in heaven. you're extremely compatible. benefactor ye is definitely a good man. although the two of you might experience setbacks, you will definitely have a happy ending in the end. "
"many thanks, master."
ye zhi-qiu somewhat happily saluted.
"almsgiver ye, although i have high hopes for you, i still hope that you can leave my temple for a while. your presence may affect almsgiver chen's cultivation.
after you return, don't tell anyone that benefactor chen is here. when benefactor chen has succeeded in his cultivation, he will naturally come back to find you."
"alright," he said.
ye zhiqiu nodded with a smile. " master jingxin, chenfeng is a person with low emotional intelligence. sometimes, he's straightforward with his words. if he has offended you in any way, please forgive him and take care of him. "
ye zhi-qiu bowed.
"almsgiver ye, you can rest assured. go on."
jingxin waved his hand.
"alright," he said.
ye zhi-qiu took a deep breath, looked at long chen, and said in a soft voice, " "you don't have to send me off, i'll wait for you to come back."
finished speaking, ye zhi-qiu turned around and left, his steps light and quick.
jingxin nodded in satisfaction and smiled. " chenfeng, your girlfriend is not an ordinary person. if you can marry her, it will be of great benefit to you in the future. "
"i've never thought of getting any benefits from her."
long chen said with a smile.
"hehe."
jingxin smiled. " the abbot is calling you over. he's probably going to start teaching you the true profound cultivation path. "
"really?" long chen's spirit was lifted.
"really? go."
"alright, thank you, master."
long chen bowed and quickly ran to the old abbot's hall.
...
time flew by, day after day.
in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
long chen's progress in the past month could only be described as godly.
his cultivation base had already surpassed the peak of his life before he lost his memory.
however, what puzzled the old abbot was that long chen had yet to recover his memories.
he had also carefully searched for the reason, but he had found nothing.
however, long chen was not in a hurry. he even consoled the old abbot who was concerned about him, " "master, i haven't recovered my memory yet, so there's no need to rush. let nature take its course.
i believe that i will be able to recover all my memories in one moment."
"it's great that you're not in a hurry."
the old abbot laughed.
"there's no hurry." long chen chuckled.
" sigh, it's been more than a month since you came to the temple. now that your cultivation has been fully restored, it's not suitable for you to stay in the temple any longer. go down the mountain. if you have time in the future, you can come and visit occasionally. "
the old abbot said.
"yes."
long chen turned around and walked out, step by step.
the old abbot, who couldn't see, tilted his head slightly, as if he was listening to something.
when long chen reached the door, he suddenly turned around and stared at the old abbot. " " actually, i know that i was able to return to my peak state because you injected all of your cultivation into my body to pave the way for me. otherwise, no matter how heaven-defying my potential is, i wouldn't be able to continue without the spirit sea. "
when the old abbot heard this, his heart trembled.
he didn't expect long chen to know about it.
"master, please accept my three kowtows."
without warning, long chen knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
after that, long chen stood up and strode away.
the old monk sat cross-legged for a long time before he smiled in relief and said, " "this is enough."
...
outside, long chen bid farewell to many people in the temple and went down the mountain alone.
he was no longer the same as before.
long chen quickly returned to the imperial city.
when they got close to the ye family, long chen saw the ye family's decorations and festive atmosphere.
long chen had a bad feeling about this, so he stopped a passerby and asked.
a passerby told long chen that the daughter of the ye family would be engaged to yan yiqiu, the heir of the yan family, tonight.
long chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard the news.
didn't ye zhi-qiu say that he would wait for him?
it had only been a month, and she had a change of heart?
or could it be that ye zhi-qiu was forced by his family?
long chen took a deep breath and sneaked into the ye family's house. he found a corner seat and sat down, waiting for the engagement party to begin.
