Dear Brother, Your Chest Wrap Has Fallen Off - Chapter 14 Part 1

Pan An furiously asked, “If you meet that beast Xue in the future, do you know how to treat him?”

Just when Third Young Master Bai was about to flatter her, he quickly adapted and imitated her gnashing teeth, “Chop him to death with a random blade, then quickly get rid of it!”

“That’s not necessary,” she said hurriedly. “We have a personal grudge against him, so there’s no need to become enemies with the Chang’an court because of him. But your attitude is very good, and I’m very satisfied. Although we don’t have to kill him with our own hands, we can pretend we didn’t see him and let him die in our minds. The effect will be the same.”

Third Young Master Bai said hurriedly, “Master is indeed wise. Let’s do as Master says.”

Jiarou nodded with relief. “Master has thought carefully about the changes you mentioned about the sect’s rules. Limiting the bet to one penny per round is indeed somewhat unreasonable. While high-stakes gambling is not encouraged, the pleasure of the game should be maintained.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Third Young Master Bai nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of eagerness.

“Master will increase the payout per round from one penny to two pennies, giving you double the excitement and double the joy. Are you happy? No need to thank me, this is Master’s love for you, just accept it.”

Third Young Master Bai, “…..”

The two people outside the tent gradually walked away, and the general who was standing by the window eavesdropping also turned around and deliberately clicked his tongue.

Seeing Xue Lang didn’t respond, he stepped forward and teased, “I heard that not long after you arrived in Qiuchi, you attracted a young man called Pan An, who proactively came to you wanting to be in a relationship, but he left perfectly fine, not subjected to any pain. Was that the handsome young man that was talking outside just now?”

Xue Lang closed the document and said calmly, “Didn’t expect the majestic Protector Zhao of the Beiting Protectorate would also be someone who loves to listen to rumors.”

Protector Zhao laughed, “Whether it’s a rumor or not, it’s uncertain.”

He added, “You are already twenty-three years old, and you have never had a woman by your side. This shows that you are truly not interested in women. If one day you want to find a man to accompany you, the Pan An this brother saw outside the window is really handsome and a perfect match for you.”

At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and Wang Huaian came in. He stood in front of Xue Lang and said in a low voice, “Master Faxuan, a senior monk of Que Li Temple, has just arrived. Does the Grand Protector want to go over?”

Protector Zhao dropped his joking mood, frowned, and asked Wang Huaian, “The abbot of the temple, Master Fazang, has not come in person, and only Faxuan came?”

Wang Huaian shook his head. “Only Master Faxuan came with his disciples, haven’t seen Master Fazang appear.”

Xue Lang stepped forward and opened the curtain. Not far away, the tent door of Queli Temple was surrounded by believers three layers inside and three layers outside, presenting a prosperous scene.

Looking closely, several witch doctors dressed strangely could be spotted among them, constantly lobbying among the believers. Some believers who come to ask for God’s blessings probably because their family members or livestock were sick did not persist for long and would soon follow them.

Just within the time he stood in front of the door, at least one out of ten people was deceived.

He furrowed his brows slightly and let go of the curtain.

Protector Zhao said frankly to Xue Lang, “You wish to collaborate with Que Li Monastery to use monk doctors to replace witch doctors and promote Buddhist medicine. Back then, the former Grand Protector General Cui also did this. The abbot of the temple is quite easy to talk to, but I don’t know why he didn’t come today. This Faxuan is the abbot’s junior brother. Although he is a senior monk, he is very conservative and I’m afraid he will be difficult to talk to.”

Xue Lang nodded, “I know what’s going on.”

He put on his black armor and was about to go out, but Protector Zhao reminded him, “In addition, this Master Faxuan is extremely vindictive. You must be vigilant at all times and never show any signs of joking. I offended him last year, and when we met again, he didn’t even glance at me. I won’t go with you, so as not to ruin your plans.”

Only then did Xue Lang raise the corners of his lips. “It seems that in the monk’s mind, Brother Zhao had died an untimely death. If that’s the case, then that Pan An is actually quite intelligent and also very adept at this trick.”

　　-

Whenever there were grand events, it was the time for the temple to promote Buddhism.

A large crowd stood outside the tent. Many devout believers, unable to wait to enter, knelt down and kowtowed profusely.

As a result, the number of people blocking Jiarou’s way became even larger. Even if she stood there for a whole day, she would probably not be able to enter the tent.

She urged Third Young Master Bai to go forward with the attitude of a prince’s son, and she would follow beside him, taking advantage of his power.

Third Young Master Bai didn’t dare. “If my elder brother was here, he might be able to take you and me in. If this disciple dares to barge in, the senior monks will tie me up and sacrifice me to the gods. Even if my father goes to plead for me, it won’t work. Many years ago, a cousin of mine was executed in this way!”

After the Eldest Young Master Bai reached adulthood, he presided over the construction of several painting caves in Qiuci for many years. The paintings in the caves were all images of gods and spirits, which was another form of worship to gods and Buddhas, and their status was very respected.

But unless it was a festival related to Buddha, the Eldest Young Master Bai would definitely not show up.

Jiarou couldn’t help feeling discouraged.
