C225 Peach Blossom in Human Face

Xiao Baobao's martial arts skills have improved. In just two to three months, he had defeated all the experts who had entered the sect at the same time, and became Murong Ke's most powerful disciple in a short period of time.

Even Murong Ke had never thought that Xiao Baobao's improvement would be so fast. This was simply another him. It was too difficult to find such a person. The heavens had finally treated Murong Ke well.

Now that Murong Ke had become the most prominent person in Gusu City and had such a good disciple under his command, he should be satisfied. But now, he had a frown on his face.

Murong Ke was almost thirty years old. For him, who had reached the peak of power, the most important thing was to have it. In Gusu, he had supreme power and countless wealth, but he didn't have an unforgettable love.

He thought of the past sadistic love. He thought of Dugu Ming, who had gone missing with the devil religion. He could only sigh. Right now, he couldn't possibly have anything to do with Dugu Ming. So he could only deeply regret that love.

But ever since then, there was another girl who had entered his heart. That was the young miss of the Shen family, Shen Qiutong. Ever since Shen Dongyang's death, the Shen family had slowly declined in the Gusu City. Whether it was in terms of financial resources or manpower, they had gradually declined. Now, it seemed like they were no different from ordinary families.

According to the rumors, when the devil religion was still around, they had once plundered a large amount of wealth from the Shen family and emptied it. Now, the Shen family was just an empty shell. Therefore, the most important thing for the Shen family right now was to survive. There was no way for them to become wealthy anymore.

Murong Ke thought of Shen Qiutong. He thought of the time when he accidentally broke Shen Qiutong's wrist in that black room. He thought of Shen Qiutong's emotions in front of him. He felt that he was totally worthy of this arrogant young lady now, so he planned to make a trip to the Shen family.

Sure enough, the Shen family was sparsely populated. Now, it seemed that other than the house being a little bigger, the rest of the families were worse than any ordinary family with a little bit of money. They couldn't even afford to hire guards to guard the door.

The door was pushed open by itself. The person who had been guarding the door back then had disappeared without a trace. Now, the person who was guarding the door was inside the door. It was the oldest and oldest servant of the Shen family. He could barely walk. Half of his body was stuck outside, and his lower body was wrapped in a blanket. He was curled up in a corner.

Murong Ke ordered the people on his left and right to stand outside the door and ask the old man. "Old man, I wonder if your young lady is in the mansion?" The old man's eyes were sunken as he stared at him blankly.

At this time, a person walked over from afar and explained, "Don't ask him, he's deaf. " Murong Ke turned around and asked, "Then do you know if the young lady of Shen family is in her residence?"

The man sized him up and said, "You can't be City Lord , right?" Murong Ke smiled and nodded. "No, that's right. City Lord is just a name. There's nothing big or small about him. "

That person became excited. "City Lord is the most amazing person in Gusu City. Now that the most amazing person has come to our home, of course we are honored by your presence! Quickly invite him in. "

Murong Ke walked into the hall of Shen family. The last time he came in, Shen Dongyang was still in this world. There were many people standing guard in the hall, but now, he couldn't see a single person. Many places were covered with spider webs.

Murong Ke frowned. He had a feeling that Shen Qiutong would not be in this place. "May I ask where your eldest daughter is now?" The man shook his head. "I don't know. When the devil religion left this place, eldest daughter also disappeared. "

Murong Ke asked. "Could it be that none of you know her whereabouts? She is your Eldest Miss! " That person lowered his head. "City Lord, quickly have a cup of tea. Let me tell you, don't tell anyone else that our big miss has already become a monk. "

Murong Ke had just received the tea in his hand when the teacup suddenly fell to the ground with a bang. That person hurriedly knelt down and went to pick up the porcelain pieces on the ground. Murong Ke grabbed him and roared angrily, "Say it again? You motherf * cker are talking nonsense again!"

That man was trembling all over. He kept hitting Han Zhan and said, "Little man, what I said is true. Eldest Miss has indeed become a monk! And the place where she becomes a monk is not far from here"

Murong Ke's eyes had already turned red. He never thought that the innocent Shen Qiutong would end up like this. This was too cruel for her.

Then, why did she become a monk? Was there no one in this world that she could miss? At this time, Murong Ke had already walked into the hall where Shen Qiutong was. This place was located on a small hill on the northwest side of Gusu. Standing on top of it, one could see the appearance of half of Gusu.

Murong Ke stood on top of the peak. A gentle breeze blew past. This was the coldest season. Murong Ke's body was trembling slightly. It was a kind of coldness that came from the bottom of his heart.

When he pushed open the door of the hall, he ran into two nun who were on duty guarding the door. One of them was slightly taller than the other. However, she was also a little fatter. The other one was slightly smaller and looked more delicate and pretty. The slightly more delicate nun asked, "Amitabha, may I know why Almsgiver is here?"

Murong Ke saw that their heads were all clean and without a trace of hair. He suddenly remembered Shen Qiutong's hairless appearance. His heart sank to the bottom. "I am here to find someone. Her name is Shen Qiutong. "

The slightly plump nun shook her head. "Amitabha. There is no one that the Almsgiver is looking for here. Almsgiver, please go back. " Murong Ke shook his head and said, "I know. She is inside. Masters, don't worry. I just want to see her. After saying this, I will leave immediately. "

The two of them looked at each other for a while before shaking their heads. "That won't do, because there is no one you want to see here. How can you let you talk to her?"

Murong Ke's face darkened. "If I don't see this person today, I think this hall will no longer exist. "

"What a big tone!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind the two people. A forty-year-old nun slowly walked over from behind. "I don't care who you are. Buddhism is a quiet place. Please take care of yourself!"

Murong Ke looked up and smiled. "You are the host here? Great Master, I just want to find someone. He did not mean to offend them. He hoped that Master would not misunderstand. However, if someone wants to stop me from looking for someone, then I must have my own way. "

The great master looked at Murong Ke from head to toe, and his heart was filled with doubt. "May I ask your name, benefactor? No matter who you are, you have to abide by our rules when you come to our place. It's your business to find someone. If that person is in our residence and she is unwilling to see you. . . Then you still won't be able to come in "

Murong Ke nodded his head. "That's right. What you said makes sense. But I am Murong Ke. Does this count as a reason to go in? " The master frowned and shivered. She did not expect City Lord to come to this small place in person. It was strange.

"This, this, this is City Lord . The old nun will lead the way. However, if she doesn't want to see you, I can't do anything about it. " The expression of the great master had already changed. He hurriedly changed his tone and explained.

Murong Ke nodded. "I don't need to trouble you with the rest of the matters. I have my own ways. Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way. " The fat and the thin one. Two nun! When they heard that the person in front of them was City Lord , their legs unconsciously started to tremble. They didn't even dare to look at Murong Ke again.

Murong Ke followed the footsteps of the great master and slowly walked into the hall. This hall was really not big. After entering from the outer sect, passing through a row of fake mountains and two courtyards, and passing through the Sutra Library, it was the place where Shen Qiutong was.

At this time, a nun wearing a nun hat and a nun robe was sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard. The fallen leaves kept falling and she kept sweeping to the side. It seemed like an endless amount of work was being done very carefully in her hands.

Murong Ke quietly watched her sweep the floor. After a long time, the nun finally stopped the broom in her hand. She stood where she was, and after resting for a while, she turned around to pick up the kettle on the ground.

However, she caught a glimpse of Murong Ke who was standing not far away. When Shen Qiutong turned around, Murong Ke's eyes became moist. It was really Shen Qiutong, but now Shen Qiutong did not even have a strand of hair.

"Qiutong, why are you doing this?" Murong Ke could not suppress the sadness in his heart and asked excitedly. Shen Qiutong's eyes were also red, but she quickly hid it. It seemed that during this period of time in the temple hall, it had a huge impact on her. She could already control her emotions.

Shen Qiutong lightly said, "Almsgiver, there is no Shen Qiutong here. She can only calm her heart. " Murong Ke nodded. "That's right. Shen Qiutong is gone. Now it is meditation. Then Master Meditation, may I ask why you want to become a monk?"

Shen Qiutong's mouth slightly trembled and then she said, "Since you have Buddha in your heart, you naturally have to become a monk. Actually, there is no reason for everything to exist. If you have to say a reason, that is karma. "

Murong Ke asked, "What is the cause? Is it possible to produce such a result?" Shen Qiutong was silent for a while, but she did not know how to answer this question. "A good cause will produce a good fruit. Evil karma has evil karma. This is just the law of nature, you and I cannot control it. Besides, Benefactor already has a bright future, why should you care about karma?"

Murong Ke took a few steps forward and walked in front of Shen Qiutong and said excitedly, "What bullsh * t future. Compared to you, all of this is not important at all. What I want is. . . "

Before he could finish his words, Shen Qiutong had already turned her face away. " Almsgiver, don't continue talking. There is only one nun here and there is no woman who can be married, so almsgiver seems to have found the wrong person. "

Murong Ke shook his head. "No, I did not find the wrong person. I am looking for the young lady of Shen family. I am looking for you, Master Jingxin. I only want you. I don't want anything else! "

Murong Ke took a few more steps forward and grabbed Shen Qiutong's waist. Shen Qiutong's waist was still as thin as before. Now that he touched it, she was still as thin and small as before. However, Shen Qiutong's face did not have the slightest bit of a shy girl's expression.

She seemed to have really converted to Buddhism and did not have any ill feelings towards these matters between men and women. Murong Ke felt as if his heart had been struck by something, and he felt slightly uncomfortable.

Shen Qiutong sighed and pushed Murong Ke away. "This poor nun said that there is no female patron here. There is only a nun. I hope that benefactor will take care of yourself and go down the mountain earlier. "

Murong Ke frowned and said, "Why? What is the purpose of all this?" Shen Qiutong did not say anything else. She picked up the broom on the ground and continued to sweep the floor. She swept further and further away until she disappeared in front of Murong Ke.

Murong Ke was like an abandoned baby, helpless and confused. He did not even have a friend he could confide in. Until now, he finally felt lonely and helpless.

But loneliness would never casually find a person. Unless this man did a lot of things that made him feel lonely. Wasn't the current Murong Ke such a person?

For the sake of status and honor, he didn't hesitate to break off relations with his family, and even framed his friends and family. Now, he didn't even have a single friend, and those people that were worthy of his love had all left him. He began to gradually lose himself.

However, there was no medicine for regret in life. He could only continue forward, and as long as he stopped, what was left for him was only destruction. It was impossible for a person to stand there and wait for destruction. Even if he was destined to be destroyed, he had to do a magnificent feat before that. Otherwise, wouldn't that life be too helpless?

Murong Ke walked step by step back to his palace. This was the most luxurious residence in Gusu City, and only he could live in such a place. However, before he even entered the palace, he could already smell an extraordinary fragrance.

It must be the fragrance of a woman. Murong Ke could clearly recognize it. This must be a very beautiful woman. When Murong Ke walked into the living room, he was stunned. The person who appeared in front of him was a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.

The young girl seemed to be very lively and cheerful. She walked up and asked with a smile on her face. "You are Brother Murong Ke, right?" Murong Ke looked at the young girl's flawless figure under her exquisite clothes. There was a smile that could make anyone happy at any time on her pink and tender face.

Murong Ke nodded. "That's right. I am Murong Ke, but who is the girl?" At this moment, a young master walked out from behind this young lady. It was Nalan Kang. Nalan Kang smiled and said, "You are really insensible. Brother Murong, I apologize for my rudeness. This is my younger sister, Nalan Yue. "

Nalan Yue smiled and narrowed her eyes into a slit. "Brother Murong Ke, she said. Hello, I am Nalan Yue. I have heard of you for a long time!" Murong Ke's body suddenly trembled and his face turned red. He was actually a little shy. Just now he was still in the grief of losing Shen Qiutong, but now he was once again immersed in the happiness of meeting Nalan Yue.
