Chu Xiaomei's heart ached.
She could forgive Huo Chenan for being indecisive, and even for visiting brothels. She only considered giving Huo Chenan a circumcision.
However, it was absolutely impossible for her to coexist with that witch. The Toad Palace and the Dragon Sect were enemies, and she almost lost her innocence because of that witch.
At this time, Chu Xiaomei looked at Huo Chenan who was standing in front of the witch, and a feeling of betrayal came over her.
She said coldly to Huo Chenan: "Get out of the way!"
Huo Chenan did not speak or get out of the way. He shook his head at Chu Xiaomei, and the firmness in his eyes was unquestionable.
Chu Xiaomei bit her lips tightly, with a sad look on her face, and blood flowed down the corners of her mouth.
"If you want to protect this witch, then from today on, you and I will be separated." Chu Xiaomei threatened.
Huo Chenan still stood in front of Hongxiu, looking at Chu Xiaomei with a firm look.
Two lines of tears fell from Chu Xiaomei's eyes, and she said resolutely: "From today on, you and I have nothing to do with each other. When we meet again in the rivers and lakes, we will be... strangers... on the same road."
The last four words were said by Xiaomei with gritted teeth. After saying this, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
Huo Chenan wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
He could only watch Chu Xiaomei's lonely figure leave Haitang Building.
Huo Chenan turned around and looked at Hongxiu, and asked: "Hongxiu, are you okay?"
At this time, Hongxiu was already moved to tears. She looked at Huo Chenan tenderly and said: "My love today, my love, I will remember it for the rest of my life."
Huo Chenan said jokingly: "Will you not remember it in the next life?"
"Remember, for all eternity..." As she said that, Hongxiu threw herself into Huo Chenan's arms.
...
After Huo Chenan returned to Wuwei Escort Agency, he went to look for Chu Xiaomei as soon as possible.
As a result, he searched the entire escort agency but couldn't find Xiaomei.
Deng Lingchong happened to pass by, and Huo Chenan hurriedly asked: "Have you seen my younger sister?"
Deng Lingchong nodded and said: "Miss Chu just packed her luggage and left."
"Where did she go?" Huo Chenan asked anxiously.
"She is a little strange today. She won't say anything no matter what you ask her."
Hearing this, Huo Chenan couldn't help but feel a headache. He didn't care much, rushed out of Wuwei Escort Agency and ran towards the city gate, but there are six city gates in Hangzhou, so Huo Chenan could only choose one direction to chase.
In the end, he didn't catch up.
Huo Chenan had learned the whole story from Hongxiu. It turned out that my younger sister was the saint of Chan Palace, and Hongxiu was the saint of Shenlong Sect. They both belonged to the same sect, that is, Chan Palace.
It was just that many years ago, the Western Regions foreign monks invaded the Central Plains martial arts world. As the leader of the Central Plains martial arts world, Chan Palace was responsible for resisting foreign races.
In that battle, Chan Palace's second senior brother Su Youlu was seriously injured and died.
Hong Xiu's master, Yan Ruo'an, the third senior sister of the Toad Palace, has always liked the second senior brother. As a result, the death of the second senior brother made her more extreme. She not only resented the eldest senior brother who was afraid of fighting, that is, the old emperor, but also resented the younger junior sister Chu Ruohan who competed with her for the second senior brother.
So, she left the Toad Palace and founded the Dragon Sect, whose purpose was to oppose the imperial power and the Toad Palace.
Huo Chenan was also helpless about the fact that the grudges of the previous generation affected his happy life.
But things must be solved. Although he did not find Chu Xiaomei, since he knew that Xiaomei was the saint of the Toad Palace, he might have to go to the Toad Palace in the future to snatch Xiaomei back.
Back to Wuwei Escort Agency, what was waiting for Huo Chenan was Su Linglong's serious face.
"You just went out to run around when your injury was healed. Do you want to die?" Su Linglong seemed to be scolding, but in fact she was full of concern.
Huo Chenan felt warm in his heart. Seeing that there was no one around, he said with a smile: "My first wife is still good to me. She knows how to care for me."
Su Linglong blushed and spat, saying: "Bah, you are a frivolous person. You still have first and second wives. How many wives do you want to marry?"
As a result, Huo Chenan pretended to be very serious and counted on his fingers: "One five, ten, fifteen, twenty..."
Su Linglong looked at his sly look and sneered: "I will castrate you when the time comes, and see how many more you can marry."
Huo Chenan smiled slightly and said: "You are reluctant."
"You are annoying..."
...
Early the next morning, Huo Chenan was awakened by Deng Lingchong.
"Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo."
"Ah~" Huo Chenan yawned and asked, "You'd better have something important to say, otherwise I will not forgive you."
"Mr. Huo, a group of monks came outside and said they wanted to see you."
Huo Chenan's brain was still working, and he didn't react for a while. He asked in confusion: "Why do monks want to see me? I'm not a nun."
Deng Lingchong shook his head and said he didn't know.
Helplessly, Huo Chenan could only dress and wash himself to see what was going on.
When Huo Chenan came to the lobby, he saw Su Linglong drinking tea and chatting with several monks.
Huo Chenan knew those monks. They were the ones who discussed Zen with the foreign monks in the dojo that day. The leader was the old abbot of Lingyin Temple.
When several monks saw Huo Chenan coming, they hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Amitabha."
Huo Chenan returned the salute, and both sides sat down again.
"I don't know what the master wants to see me for?" Huo Chenan asked directly.
"Amitabha, Mr. Huo, that day you overwhelmed a group of foreign monks with a sentence "There is no Bodhi tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing, so where can dust gather?" and helped our temple to preserve the Buddhist treasure Diamond Sutra. I and the monks of Lingyin Temple came here to thank you." Speaking of foreign monks, Huo Chenan was furious. They were not as skilled as them, but they wanted to assassinate him afterwards. They were so petty that I had never seen before. They were really like their mothers. "Master, you are too polite. Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. Those foreign monks are not good people at first glance, and everyone can kill them."
"Amitabha, Mr. Huo is really wise and righteous, and he should be a role model for our generation."
"Master, you are too kind."
"Mr. Huo..." The old abbot of Lingyin Temple said hesitantly: "I don't know whether I should say something or not."
Huo Chenan raised his eyebrows. He knew that he would definitely say it if he should or should not say it. If I am not bragging, then it must be bragging. If I am not talking about you, then it is talking about you.
He hurriedly said: "If the old abbot is not convenient to say it, then don't say it."
The old abbot was obviously stunned when he heard this. Why don't you play by the rules?
"Amitabha, Mr. Huo's wisdom is rare in the world, but this matter is of great importance. If I don't say it, I am afraid I will be ashamed of the Buddha."
Speaking of this, Huo Chenan couldn't help but become curious. What happened to alarm the old Buddha?
The old abbot said, "Please, Mr. Huo, convert to Buddhism. I would like you to take over the position of abbot of Lingyin Temple."
