Chapter 592: 299 Eliminating the Harm (Second Update)

Liu Muxue raised an eyebrow, these girls are smart, they know who’s the most powerful.

Cui Yumeng was almost in tears, finally she seemed decided: “I…I am willing to be ordained, too.”

Ming Jing glanced quietly at the two of them, time flowed silently.

A tin train drove by on the railway outside the railing, bringing a hustle and bustle. The birds perched on the railing scattered in fright, flying towards the end of the horizon. Under the blue sky and white clouds, they kept flying farther and farther until they turned into a tiny black dot in the distance.

As the train whizzed by, a gust of wind blew, making it difficult for them to keep their eyes open.

Their frail and petite figures swayed slightly, but quickly straightened back up, they held their heads high staring straight at Ming Jing, their young eyes filled with determination.

“I do not take disciples, stand up.”

Both firmly remained kneeled.

Ming Jing turned around to leave: “The solitude and sorrows of following the Buddha’s teachings are a lonely struggle, how could it withstand the allure of worldly pleasures. Without experiencing the eight forms of sufferings, how could you possibly transcend…”

The voice was carried away with the wind, and she had already drifted far away.

They looked at one another, seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.

Liu Muxue patted each of them on the head: “Take some time to understand it, the profoundness of the master is not something you two can easily comprehend.”

She then walked away to follow Ming Jing.

They looked up to see Ming Jing mounting her horse, her silhouette slender yet straight as a reed.

Under the sunlight, it was as if golden lights danced around her.

The maiden let the horse lead the way, demonstrating a leisurely and composed bearing, riding into distance, slowly disappearing from the horizon.

“Zhang Yunfang, why do you want to become a disciple?” Cui Yumeng stood up, patting off the dust from her knees.

Zhang Yunfang stared at the distant skyline, “because she is a huge hero of mine, and I want to become confident and strong just like her.”

“That’s shallow.” Cui Yumeng retorted, but remembering that she had just promised Ming Jing to be good and not lose her temper, she softened the atmosphere with a cough.

“What I mean is, your thoughts are very shallow. I am different, I love the teachings of Buddha, they guide me towards kindness, and ensure that I won’t suffer in hell after death.”

“Your thought is even more shallow…”

With that, the two of them started a heated discussion.

Li Jiaojiao found these two girls irritating, she coldly huffed at the sight of Zhu Xiangxiang at a distance, something crossed her mind, her facial expression stiffened momentarily.

The scene described by Ming Jing kept lingering in her mind, whenever she had naughty thoughts, it would remind her…

Whether she could continue to have fun anymore.

“Let’s go.” Zhao Qin mounted her horse and rode past the others.

Li Jiaojiao quickly followed her.

Soon there was no one left but Li Yu, sitting paralyzed on the ground until a coach came along, thinking she was injured, and got scared out of his wits.

“Don’t touch me.” Li Yu shouted, taking a step back in panic.

In front of her was a man who seemed like a demon with fangs, eyes flashing like lightning, wielding a halberd, advancing towards her.

Li Yu held her head, screaming in terror that left the coach stunned.

Is this…is this student mentally unstable?

With no other option, he had to contact the manager to get her parents involved.

——

After they changed their clothes, it was already noon. They decide to go to the restaurant upstairs to have lunch.

“What you just did really scared those girls. They’ll behave from now on. But honestly, it sounded so real that I almost believed it.”

Ming Jing replied calmly: “Monks must not utter idle words.”

Liu Muxue’s hand trembled slightly on her fork, “Don’t scare me!”

All her life, she hadn’t been the most virtuous person… although she never realized it herself.

“If you believe, then it exists, if not, then it doesn’t. Let’s finish our meal, and I’ll take you home.”

“Where are you going?”

“Back to the Zhu’s residence.”

Liu Muxue continued her lunch obediently – it tasted like chewing wax, she couldn’t really taste anything.

It wouldn’t be long before she’d be the one losing her mind.

There were many people in the restaurant, mostly young girls who gossiped about fresh news while taking glances at Ming Jing.

“It’s a pity, that one girl is so young and she’s already gone mad.”

“You mean the one in the blue dress? I’ll tell you, she’s probably traumatized. She’s Mrs. Gu’s niece, bah, what Mrs. Gu, the Gu family has fallen. Her father is that so-called great painter Li Yang, hyped up the market, but his skills don’t even match an art student. After the fall of the Gu family, who else would give him face? His wife caused a hit and run. With such a sudden upheaval, her mental state must have been affected.””This girl seems pretty pitiful…”

“Pitiful? You must be joking, this girl was in the same primary school with my cousin. Since she was a child, she’s been a bully, leading groups to pick on girls who are prettier or have better grades than her. When their parents complained, she’d use her uncle’s influence to dismiss them. I don’t know how many girls she’s tormented, one even became emotionally unstable because of her. It’s karma.”

The other person exclaimed, “At such a young age and so malicious, what will she become when she grows up?”

“She’s just riding on others’ coattails, acting all smug. But the debts she owes will eventually have to be paid, haha.”

Listening to the discussions around her, Liu Muxue raised an eyebrow, “These young girls are becoming more and more ruthless these days. You could say you’re removing a menace from the people.”

Zhao Qin and Li Jiaojiao walk in, choosing a corner seat and for the first time not gathering around Ming Jing.

“Big sister, why have you been out of sorts since you came back? Did Zhu Mingjing bully you again?”

As the two of them walked into the dining room, as soon as Zhu Shaodan saw Ming Jing, he clenched his fists and looked menacing.

Zhu Xiangxiang quickly grabbed his hand, “Shaodan, don’t lose control, it has nothing to do with Ming Jing. You must never bother Ming Jing again, she is also your biological sister.”

“Sister, what’s the point of saying this now?”

Everyone knows she’s an impostor.

Zhu Xiangxiang hesitated, then sighed, “Shaodan, no matter what, you should avoid provoking her in the future. There’s something…really strange about her.”

“I’m not scared at all.”

The two of them found an empty seat and sat down, and Zhu Xiangxiang started carefully persuading him.

She was genuinely scared, an eerie energy permeated from Ming Jing.

What if she really goes to hell when she dies? Just picturing it, she was about to break down.

“Dad.” Zhang Yunfang walked out of the front door and excitedly ran towards the man leaning against the car, who was on a phone call.

“I’ll talk to you later, I’m picking up my daughter.” Zhang Qiao ends his call, throws the cigarette butt on the floor, stomps it out, and turns around with a mile-wide smile.

“Oh come on, you’re so grown-up now, are you not embarrassed about hugging so much, eh?”

“Did you smoke? Every time you don’t let me hug you, it’s because you smoked.” Zhang Yunfang put her hands on her hips, talking indignantly.

Zhang Qiao coughs, “No…I didn’t smoke…”

“Look into my eyes, and say that again.”

“Ah, my dear, your father’s starving. Let’s go eat quick.”

Zhang Qiao stuffed her into the car. Suddenly, his gaze hardened, his fingers landing on the side of her face.

“How did you get hurt? Who bullied you?” His expression instantly darkened.

Zhang Yunfang blinked, “No one bullied me, I just fell off a horse when I was riding, it’s nothing.”

Hearing this, his face darkened further, “Are the riding instructors just for show? They let my precious daughter fall off a horse, I won’t let this pass.”

“Dad, I’m really fine, I’ve been checked out at the infirmary, really I’m fine, I’m starving, let’s eat quickly.”

“We’ll discuss this later.” Zhang Qiao said unhappily.

After buckling Zhang Yunfang’s seatbelt, he finally got in the driver’s seat and drove away.

To avoid Zhang Qiao bringing up the subject again, Zhang Yunfang quickly tried to change the topic, finally remembering an important thing.

“Dad, isn’t Aunt’s birthday coming up soon?”

Mentioning his sister, Zhang Qiao’s face lightened up a bit.

“There’s still more than half a month to go, normally you forget everything, how come you suddenly remembered your aunt’s birthday?”

“My aunt is so good to me, every year on my birthday she gives me a birthday gift. This year on her birthday, I want to give her a birthday gift too. Dad, what do you think Aunt lacks?”

“Well, I don’t really know, your aunt probably doesn’t lack anything.”

Zhang Yunfang’s eyes rolled, and suddenly she said, “I’ve got it, how about I give my aunt a man?”

Zhang Qiao’s hand trembled on the steering wheel, his face was a mix of emotions, and was at a loss for words.

His sister really didn’t lack anything, but she’s almost 30 and still single.

Technically speaking, she really does lack a man…

“Among all the men I know who are the same age as my aunt, there’s only my teacher. Our math teacher is pretty good, except he’s bald. When the wind blew off his wig, we all saw he didn’t have any hair, he aged 20 years instantly.”

Zhang Yunfang began counting on her fingers, “The geography teacher has a good temperament and isn’t bald, but he’s too ugly. We privately call him ‘Sanxingdui’, he’s a exact duplicate of the look of the statues from there, but he’s not good enough for my aunt.”

“The head teacher of the class next door is good-looking, he already has a wife though…”

Zhang Qiao listens to his niece going on in all seriousness, and the corners of his mouth twitch.

If your aunt knew you were this concerned about her, she’d surely be moved to tears.
