"Xu'an said it should be here by now." Xiao Shi frowned and said, "Why aren't you here yet?"
Chu Li nodded.
No matter how slowly Xu'an walks, he should reach the capital of God.
Xiao Shi said: "Before retreating, we need to meet Xu'an and tell him, lest he arrives and feels that we are avoiding him and neglecting him."
She looked at Chu Li with bright eyes: "You can find him directly, right?"
"Almost." Chu Li said, "I'll give it a try."
He gave Xu'an a Vajra Relic Bead, through which he could sense Xu'an and arrive in a moment.
"You take the second sister with you." Xiao Qi said, "I'll see him again later."
"That's fine." Chu Li nodded.
He put his arms around Xiao Shi's waist and disappeared instantly.
The next moment, the two of them appeared outside an inn in a small town.
The inn has lanterns hanging high and the lights are bright.
The inn only has one floor, and when you stand outside, you can hear loud chatter and laughter inside, and the sweet singing and the sound of strings are mixed together, making it really lively.
Xiao Shi was dressed in a snow-white gown, with the white gauze covering her face, and her beautiful eyes looked up and down at the inn: "Is Xu'an staying here?"
Chu Li nodded.
The two of them stepped into the inn, and sure enough, the lobby was a restaurant, and tables were full of people. Xu'an sat at a table by himself, eating two plates of vegetarian dishes with a smile, looking very interested.
He was wearing a red monk's robe, which made him very conspicuous. His young age made him even more unique, but no one came to bother him, and they all pretended not to see him.
In Daji and Dali, everyone worshiped Buddhism, and monks had a very high status.
Chu Li and Xiao Shi sat directly opposite him.
Xu'an stood up in surprise and titheed: "Brother Chu, Xiao...Aunt Xiao."
Xiao Shi rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you doing so slowly?"
Xu'an glanced at her bright eyes, and he suddenly felt familiar and warm, without feeling unfamiliar or distant at all. He scratched his head and said sheepishly: "I want to observe people's hearts."
"What's there to see in the human heart? Human nature is inherently evil, and everyone is not a good person. It's okay if you don't look at it." Xiao Shi hummed, "You'll end up innocent even if you don't look at it."
Xu'an shook his head: "Everyone has Buddha nature."
"Come on." Xiao Shibai glanced at him and said, pinching the tip of his little finger and humming: "I only have this little bit of Buddha nature, and the rest is all demonic nature, that's why it's so difficult to become a Buddha!"
Xu'an was startled and speechless.
Chu Li smiled and said: "You two speak first, I will come when I go."
"Go." Xiao Shi waved her jade hands and stared at Xu An without letting go.
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. She did have pure concern for Xu'an, without any pretense. Xu'an also regarded her as a relative. The two of them hadn't actually gotten along for too long, so it was fate.
Chu Li disappeared from the inn, flashed twice, and appeared in a restaurant not far away.
This restaurant is brightly lit like daylight and is several times more popular than the inn just now.
The third floor where he was located was quite clean. Each room was quiet and elegant, and the noise below could be faintly heard. It was a good place to find tranquility in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
He knocked lightly on the door of a room.
"Come in." A beautiful voice came from inside.
Chu Li pushed the door open and walked in. Sitting lazily inside was a graceful woman, Lu Yurong.
She was holding the wine glass and raising it gently.
Chu Li sat opposite her and smiled: "Miss Lu, you really care about Xu'an."
"Return the favor." Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled: "I don't think so."
Lu Yurong smiled: "Are you still afraid that I will harm him?"
Chu Li said: "Miss Lu, your methods are extraordinary. Do you really want to take Xu An's life?"
He saw the masters surrounding Xu'an, surrounding him, with faint murderous intent. They obviously wanted to kill Xu'an, but they were trying their best to hide their murderous intent.
Lu Yurong tilted her head to look at him and said with a smile, "Why do you see that?"
