Chapter 699: Chapter 199 Chen Jiusi, Don’t Be Ungrateful_6As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, snatched the roast chicken away, and turned to leave, but Su Yunjin said, "Master, it seems you have forgotten something."
The monk looked at Su Yunjin in surprise.
With a laugh, Su Yunjin said, "Master, you just said all living beings are equal. Since that’s the case, logically speaking, one person should only have two buns and half a roast chicken. You ought to return the extra bun to us."
"Hmm?"
"You, you want me to return the buns?"
The monk looked at Su Yunjin, his face full of astonishment.
"Master, all living beings are equal, and since that is the case, you should return them."
Upon hearing this, the monk burst into laughter and said, "Ha ha ha... It is indeed so, indeed it is. Young lady, your Buddhist nature is profound. Here, I’ll give the buns back to you."
The monk thought for a moment, then fumbled in his pocket, pulling out a string of earthy yellow beads and said, "Here, take this string of beads too."
Su Yunjin, taken aback, looked at the beads in her hand and said, "Master."
The monk smiled and said, "Sentient beings meet by fate, and rejoice together. Since we are fated, I give you these beads. They might be of use to you in times of danger."
Su Yunjin took the earthy yellow beads, feeling their warmth and the solidity they gave.
Su Yunjin knew these were no ordinary beads, but when she looked up, the monk had already disappeared without a trace, leaving four buns in front of her.
"Master, Master?"
Su Yunjin
Chen Jie was taken aback and looked at Han He.
Han He, too, was taken aback and looked at Yu Mei Zi, "Uncle Master."
"Don’t speak."
Yu Mei Zi glared at Han He, who frowned, thinking, What nonsense is this uncle master talking? It’s as if Chen Jiusi is eagerly trying to join our Zoroastrian Sect.
Seeing Han He’s reaction, Chen Jie understood that it was probably just this deputy hall master’s own idea.
Chen Jie squinted his eyes at Yu Mei Zi and said, "Oh, then I wonder what kind of contributions Yu Mei Zi thinks I should make?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mei Zi laughed and said, "Good, good, I heard that you have a good relationship with the Commandery Princess of the Dog Court, and you are also trying to enter the Medicine King Treasure."
Chen Jie said, "It seems nothing escapes your notice."
"So much the better. In that case, I will give you a mission. There is a dangerous place in the Medicine King Treasure. It’s perilous even for those in the Holding Core Realm. Lead the Commandery Princess there, eliminate her, and I will accept you into our Holy Sect and appoint you as a protector. How about it?"
Chen Jie thought to himself, This damn deputy hall master really thinks I’m an idiot.
Eliminate the Commandery Princess and you’ll make me a protector?
Have you gone mad, or have I? Even if you offered me the position of Hall Master, I couldn’t do it. Chen Jie didn’t understand this idiot’s thought process; did he think he was so easily deceived as to agree to such a foolish idea for a damn protector position?
Chen Jie feigned difficulty and said, "Ah, this is difficult. If I really killed the Commandery Princess, my base in Mianshui County could be destroyed in an instant!"
Yu Mei Zi chuckled lightly, "Heh, what base do you have in Mianshui County? You’re just a small guild. If you join our Zoroastrian Sect, in the future you could become a founding lord of the new dynasty, possibly even a marquis or general. That would be much better than hiding in this small county."
Chen Jie said, "Then my wife, relatives, and brothers would also face difficulty, and they might even risk their lives."
Yu Mei Zi said, "For great achievements, wives and concubines are but encumbrances. It’s better to let them go. Once you succeed, what woman couldn’t you choose from?"
A cold glint flashed in Chen Jie’s eyes.
Yu Mei Zi then said, "Young man, let me tell you, our Holy Sect doesn’t support the idle. You might only get this one chance to join the Holy Sect, so you had better seize it well. What do you say, do you accept my terms?"
