Chapter 1108: Chapter 59: Strangers Arriving One After Another

Wang Yunxiao only knows one blind person.

It was last year, when he returned to his hometown in Cangzhou with his master to seek the Imperial Jade Seal, that he encountered this Blind Su.

It’s said that he’s a well-known figure in the Jianghu World.

Originally, Wang Yunxiao thought he had died in the wild, but unexpectedly, he was still alive, and dressed up quite well in a suit.

Could he be one of those “mysterious” people Old Master He mentioned?

The little girl didn’t know who he was, only that she was out today to collect a red envelope, so she earnestly repeated, “I’m Xu Huange!”

Blind Su squatted down, just about to reach out and touch the little girl’s head, when suddenly a flash of white light appeared beside him; with a slap sound, his hand was flicked away, and he stepped back involuntarily.

Wang Yunxiao turned his head and saw a bald monk standing nearby, with hands folded, chanting Buddha’s name.

“Amitabha, Benefactor Su, it’s not your blessing, don’t force it!”

This monk… Wang Yunxiao didn’t recognize him, but Li Mumu remembered his appearance.

He was that incredibly capable runaway Master Maitreya.

The thing that flicked Blind Su’s wrist away was the prayer beads in his hand.

Blind Su rubbed his wrist, smiling bitterly, “I just wanted to say a few words to the little lady, Master Maitreya, was that necessary?”

“Amitabha, blindness of the eyes is not the issue, blindness of the heart is the issue. This humble monk kindly saved your life, yet was mistaken as donkey’s liver and lungs.”

Maitreya turned around, bowed deeply to Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu, with an honest smile on his face.

“The young lady of the Xu family is here; this humble monk dares not offend. I ask both benefactors to calm your murderous intent a little, there’s no need to make things ugly and frighten the children.”

Murderous intent?

Blind Su froze abruptly.

Where was there any murderous intent?

He only knew there was a pair of young male and female guardians beside Xu Huange, but didn’t know what kind of people they were, nor did he sense any murderous aura at all.

After hearing Maitreya’s explanation, he was shocked.

He couldn’t sense the other’s murderous aura at all, which could only mean… the other’s strength far surpassed his own?

Or there might be another possibility.

Which is treating killing as casually as eating or drinking, completely indifferent to others’ lives.

Wang Yunxiao didn’t intend to kill him, after all, he was now a person of the Official Residence… or you could say a well-experienced officer, in short, he was working for the government.

He had to abide by the law.

No matter what background you come from, people have a right to speak.

What if there are some convoluted family connections behind it?

When your words start sounding unpleasant, it’ll be time to act.

Wang Yunxiao always thought of himself as a very reasonable person, a person of gentle, polite demeanor, and someone with a cultured quality.

How could a junior high school graduate not be considered educated?

High school graduates of nowadays are as rare as master’s degree holders a hundred years from now.

Whatever happens to Blind Su doesn’t matter; he’s already started seeing through such superficial people.

However, this later Maitreya Monk piqued Wang Yunxiao’s interest.

He was a master.

And the kind of master with a sharp mind, very cunning.

“I wonder what teachings the master has for us?”

“Teachings would be too much to accept.”

Maitreya undid the prayer beads from his hand and smiled, “This humble monk heard that the young lady of the Xu family returned to the country and was overjoyed, so he specially came to visit, and prepared a string of thousand-year-old purple sandalwood Buddha beads from the South Sea as a gift to the little lady for play, with no other intention.”

Wang Yunxiao whispered to Xu Huange, “Do you want it?”

The little girl pouted, a bit hesitant.

Which means she didn’t want it.

The previous two grandpas gave gold locks and gold ingots, what good is a string of beads?

“Master, why don’t you keep the Buddha beads to yourself? Do you have anything more practical?”

“Practical?”

Seeing that Wang Yunxiao didn’t open his mouth to politely decline, Maitreya was delighted and instantly grasped his hint.

“Yes, yes, of course, it was my oversight. The purple sandalwood Buddha beads are indeed not very pleasing.”

He put the Buddha beads back on his wrist, rubbed his hands together gently, and another three-inch tall gold Maitreya Buddha statue appeared in his hands, which he respectfully handed over to the little girl.

Xu Huange bit her finger, hesitated for a long time, and looked back at Li Mumu.

“If you don’t like it, don’t take it.”

Li Mumu smiled and said, “Didn’t your grandma advise you, the most important thing when going out to play is to be happy, don’t worry about others’ feelings.”

“But I like gold.”

My ancestor was really straightforward.

“But you don’t like this person?”

“Mm.”

Li Mumu squinted at Maitreya.

Maitreya chuckled awkwardly, withdrew his hand, took two steps back, and smiled, “In that case, this humble monk was presumptuous.”

He turned to leave, but unexpectedly someone behind him suddenly spoke, “A gift from an elder cannot be declined lightly, does a child returning from overseas not even have this basic courtesy?”

Maitreya’s complexion changed drastically.

Before he could react, a flash of blood-red light erupted from the center of his forehead, causing his skin to wither and sag as if melting, and his once fat body turned into an impossibly emaciated ascetic monk in the blink of an eye.

It was as though he had shed a layer of human skin, revealing his true form.

At the moment he revealed himself, the Real World around them began to disintegrate. By the time he looked up, the surroundings had already turned into an endless wasteland.

This old fellow simply revealing himself activated the moat defense mechanism of Tianmen City!

Wang Yunxiao stood up, took off his military cap and placed it on Xu Huange’s head, glanced at Li Mumu, and shielded them behind him.

“Are you looking for death?”

“No, I’m looking for her.”

The old monk pointed his slender finger towards behind Wang Yunxiao, an expression of compassionate sadness appeared on his face, “Young man, I have no intention of sticking with you, I only wish to take that child as my disciple, she won’t be harmed.”

“This is what it means to seek death.”

Wang Yunxiao cracked his knuckles, swayed his head left and right, and began to warm up.

Li Mumu picked up Xu Huange, transforming into a stream of light and retreated.

The little girl unexpectedly showed some reluctance.

“Great-great-granddaughter, is there going to be a fight? I’m not afraid, let me see!”

“No problem, we’ll stay a bit farther away and still can see the action.”

Wang Yunxiao’s combat style was something Li Mumu was deeply familiar with.

And that guy also had a bad habit…

Just thinking of this, a huge explosion sounded from the front, countless bricks and tiles flew into the air, and even the ground beneath them slightly trembled.

Okay, I never said anything.

Wang Yunxiao had a bad habit of preferring to retaliate after being provoked during fights.

First, probe the opponent’s methods, and incidentally warm himself up, then when the opponent’s strength is nearly exhausted, suddenly and overwhelmingly counterattack.

But this time was different, he started off fighting seriously from the beginning.
