Chapter 175 The Living Abandoned Empress of the Cold Palace X The Invading Unruly Buddhist Son 9

The next morning, Yun Qian awoke to the sound of the morning bell. After washing and grooming, she followed the temple's custom and joined the monks in the main hall to listen to a sutra. Within the hall, solemn Buddha statues shone, candlelight flickered, and the sound of Buddhist chanting filled the air. Abbot Huimi sat upright on a high platform, his face kind and gentle, his demeanor serene as he expounded Buddhist principles.

Yun Qian listened quietly, occasionally glancing up to see Qi Jueyu sitting quietly to one side. His eyes were slightly closed, his hands clasped together, as if he were in a state of meditation, his expression solemn. She secretly thought that if Qi Jueyu was truly a true Buddhist, then having a child with him would indeed be quite difficult.

After the lecture, everyone dispersed. Yun Qian had just stood up when she saw Qi Jueyu slowly walking towards her, his face as calm as ever. They were silent, but Yun Qian followed him, understandingly. Qi Jueyu was tall and slender, and walking in front of Yun Qian, he could completely block her view.

Yun Qian's face remained calm, but the system knew what she was thinking.

"Dear host, can you please stop fantasizing about Qi Jueyu's figure? I am just a small system, and it is really not suitable for me to watch such inappropriate things."

"Who forced you to watch it?"

"Who asked? Who cares what you think?"

Yun Qian had a lot of free time and didn't mind letting her little system break for a few rounds.

System: "...Host, you are going too far. Don't you want to know about Qi Jueyu's family background?"

The system felt that it had mastered the vitals that Yun Qian cared about, and was quite proud of it. Yun Qian was slightly stunned for a moment when he heard this.

But his expression changed so quickly that no one could catch it. He raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Who asked?"

.........

Just when the two were having a great time fighting, Qi Jueyu in front of him suddenly stopped. Yun Qian came to his senses and quickly braked to avoid bumping into him.

Just as she was about to explode, the man said calmly, "We're here."

"...Okay, Master Bichen."

"What were you thinking about just now, young lady? Too much worry is not beneficial to your practice."

Yun Qian lowered her head slightly, unable to see the man's expression. She didn't expect him to just say these words lightly and push open the door and go in.

Yun Qian stood at the door, her eyes flickering slightly. Qi Jueyu's brief but meaningful rebuke made her feel a little disdainful, yet also a bit amused.

The system couldn't help but mutter in its head: "Host, why don't you pretend to really practice and try to concentrate your mind?"

Yun Qian almost couldn't help but sneer, saying disapprovingly: "If I really go to meditate, who will complete the task? You?"

.........

For some reason, the system knew that it had not shown up, but it felt as if Yun Qianbai had actually given it a look.

Wow wow wow, how pitiful, how can this Tongzi be so pitiful. No one loves him, no one cares for him...

Yun Qian frowned impatiently, reached out and grabbed the air, and finally calmed the little guy down.

Her expression remained unchanged, and after gathering her composure, she followed him inside. Upon entering, she saw Qi Jueyu already seated at the scripture desk, his figure as upright as a pine tree, slowly and steadily turning the pages of the sutra. His profile was stern, his eyes focused yet distant, and he seemed enveloped in a subtle Zen aura, appearing detached and otherworldly. Yun Qian stared at him for a moment, then averted her gaze and walked to the other side to sit quietly, but she couldn't help but scrutinize him more.

Qi Jueyu raised his drooping eyes slightly, as if he had noticed something. "Did the girl really come here to meditate and cultivate herself, to comprehend the Buddhist principles?"

Surprisingly, there was a hint of teasing in Qi Jueyu's tone. Yun Qian wanted to laugh secretly. She had known from the beginning that there was no way Qi Jueyu could be a serious Buddhist.

Yun Qian was stunned, but immediately smiled and looked straight at the man in front of her. "Master Bichen always teaches me to be pure and free from desires. I wonder if you are always so self-disciplined?"

Qi Jueyu just smiled and said nothing. After a moment of silence, he finally put down the scriptures and said in a deep voice: "While we are here, we should follow the precepts."

"If you are here to ask for something else, please look for another place." His voice was low and powerful, but it was faintly cautious under a hint of calmness, as if he was trying his best to maintain a boundary. It was a hint, and it was also a clear warning for her not to have any other ideas.

It's almost as if he made it clear.

Yun Qian remained undaunted, smiling silently. Her eyes sparkled, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking. Her beautiful eyes curved slightly, following the movement of her hand pouring tea. "Master, how do you know there's nothing here that I want?"

After she finished speaking, she handed over a cup of hot tea. She did not lower her head to look at him, but looked straight ahead with her slightly raised chin, which showed her confidence and strong ambition.

The woman's lips, like peach petals, opened and closed as she spoke, and she cast a tender glance over. Seeing that Qi Jueyu's gaze remained calm, he did not reach out to take the tea she handed over.

She was not annoyed, as if she had expected it.

He naturally moved the tea in his hand back, brought it to his lips, and drank it slowly. "Master, why don't you think about it carefully? After all... there is no shortage of people in this world who comprehend Buddhist principles. Don't you want to try a different taste?"

"If a girl can't stand the quiet life, why come here?"

"Hey, Buddhist disciple, what you said is wrong. If it is for the Buddhist disciple, Yun Qian is willing to endure the hardship of pure cultivation."

"Huh." Qi Jueyu's eyes suddenly became extremely deep, and he pushed the scripture in his hand over. "This is the 'Sutra of Forty-two Chapters'. The content is concise and to the point. I think the section about 'greed is evil' is very good and very suitable for you. Since you are willing to endure hardship, let's start by copying the scriptures on the first day."

"It doesn't need to be much, just copy this section a hundred times."

…………

Looking at Qi Jueyu in front of her, she would never believe that this man was as calm as he looked. It was obvious that he had extremely evil intentions.

Yun Qian said nothing, but when Qi Jueyu stood up and seemed to be about to leave, she suddenly called him.

She called out softly, "Master Bichen."

Qi Jueyu paused, then turned sideways to look back, his gaze as calm as water, as if he'd already read her thoughts. Yun Qian took a few slow steps closer, clasped his hands together, and smiled faintly. "If Master Qi feels my comprehension is lacking, would you be willing to offer some guidance? After all, copying the sutra a hundred times is just a formality. Without guidance, I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp much of its true meaning."

“If you don’t have the understanding, don’t force it.”

After saying that, Qi Jueyu murmured a Buddhist name with a compassionate look, which made Yun Qian so angry that she bit her teeth together without noticing. Huimi had clearly said that she had the ability to understand, so Qi Jueyu must have done it on purpose.

Yun Qian was rejected by Qi Jueyu and didn't even come out for vegetarian meal in the evening, saying that he wanted to study Buddhist scriptures well. When Qi Jueyu heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, as if a little surprised.

How come her little girl is so spoiled? She has quite a temper. She thought with disdain in her heart, but she unknowingly walked to the vicinity of Yun Qian's meditation room...
