Chapter 110: Gossip Between Acts!
A sudden chill ran up Qiao Wan's spine, making her freeze. She turned her head and came face to face with an incredibly awe-inspiring presence.
The Buddha, with an unfriendly expression, stood behind Qiao Wan, coldly gazing at her.
An Eternal Gaze.
It's just that.
Zheng Wenliang exchanged a glance with Lü Yao and shamelessly left the other "little cabbages" behind, quickly retreating!
Buping College had just started, they couldn't afford to offend the Great Hall of Light!
So, in order to prevent the Three Teachings Law Meeting from being disrupted, to maintain peace among the three teachings, and to build Buping College, the difficult task of "diplomacy" is entrusted to you!
Go on, young girl!
Qiao Wan's mind went blank. Relying solely on instinct, she stiffened her limbs, quickly tucked the jade slip into her bosom, and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, senior."
At the same time, the words written in ink on the jade slip continued to linger in her mind.
"In all fairness, Venerable One Miaofa definitely has bigger chest muscles than Lu Cixian."
Bigger chest muscles...
Really big!
Feeling extremely embarrassed and scared, Qiao Wan couldn't help but look down for a moment.
Though his robe was neat, she could still vaguely see his "broad chest".
His breast size...
It's really bigger than hers!
In the Great Hall of Light, Venerable One's senses were so sharp that he didn't miss Qiao Wan's quick glance.
Watching Qiao Wan suddenly freeze in place, Venerable One Miaofa, who always emphasized calm and meditation, felt a rush of anger for the first time. His face turned completely black like a coal.
Qiao Wan thought that the incident at the cliff was her first offense and influenced by evil forces. She didn't want to argue with her because she thought three days would be enough for her to reflect and improve herself. But she was stubborn and unyielding!
Qiao Wan suddenly realized what she had just done.
But the way she acted was really crude... Wait, what was she even thinking?
Qiao Wan felt a shock in her heart. Did the jade slip also mislead her?!
Most likely, when people are more nervous, their thoughts are less under their control.
Reason told Qiao Wan that she should face her miserable life and apologize to the seniors. But when she thought about what she had done, Qiao Wan felt that her life was gloomy. Even speaking to Miaofa was difficult.
The idea of having a "broad mind" kept hovering in her mind.
In this situation, she didn't dare to apologize, let alone look at the Buddhists in the eyes.
This seems like Qiao Wan was daydreaming. When Miaofa saw it, it became proof of stubborness and disobedience.
A bright Buddha light suddenly struck down.
Shortly after leaving the stage, Qiao Wan's body was still in a fighting state. She instinctively used the "Wuxiang Technique" to brush away the golden light.
It must be said that Jia Yin's "Wuxiang Technique" is indeed very useful in many ways.
Seeing the subtle changes in Qiao Wan's hand, Miaofa's pupils contracted!
Others may not be able to tell, but Qiao Wan's summary of the "Wuxiang Technique" faintly revealed a demonic aura that could not be concealed from the demons and monsters she had been fighting against for so long in the Bright Hall.
Possessed by the devil first, and then mingling with the demons.
Miaofa closed his eyes.
Suddenly, another scene flashed before his eyes under the stone wall.
The man's body shook violently.
Even though my mind has been affected after falling into darkness, how could I act so smoothly if I didn't have some thoughts and understanding in my head about this beforehand?
Thinking about this, Miaofa's face grew even darker.
No matter if he likes it or not, after all, he became famous in the cultivation world because of this face. Even if he is in the Great Hall of Light, on the Lotus Platform, no matter how high his status and noble his identity, he cannot escape the invasion of these rumors.
Miaofa couldn't possibly have not heard any rumors about himself in the cultivation world.
So, even though Miaofa has a high position, he has also heard about the crazy cultivators who have inappropriate desires towards his body.
A large part of them just speak rudely, but there are also those who take real actions.
Miaofa simply and roughly categorizes all these people as "being misled by desire". It's just a matter of waking them up.
But what he never expected was that the junior he met in this nightmare of his inner demons would also have such crazy and unspeakable thoughts.
In the past few months, since falling into evil, what nonsense has she been reading? In just a few months, the junior who was calm and respectful in his dream has willingly fallen to this extent!
"How dare you fight back, you wicked child?!"
In an instant, Qiao Wan saw this meaning in Miaofa's eyes.
Completely unable to face it.
With a loud "clang," six big characters fell on her head.
However, considering that she was at fault first, she had to apologize.
Qiao Wan performed a standard tiger landing posture and bowed deeply, "Senior! I admit my mistake!!"
After speaking, she ran away!
However, it seemed that the Buddhist practitioner didn't appreciate her gesture at all and sternly said, "Lu Cixian!"
As she ran frantically, Qiao Wan couldn't stop her thoughts from going astray once again.
In such an angry situation, he still thought about her disguise. The senior is really a caring and kind person.
It's the chasing golden light! Don't be so fierce!
The radiant Buddha's light chased after her relentlessly.
She didn't want this! Qiao Wan almost cried like a baby!
But thoughts are uncontrollable!
In Miaofa's eyes, she had completely turned into a freak who coveted his broad and majestic chest, no, broad and majestic chest-heart!
Especially with this run, there was no turning back! Neither stopping nor not stopping.
With the Buddha's light closely chasing behind, Qiao Wan gritted her teeth and ran against the wind all the way!
She absolutely could not stop!
"Excuse me, taoist friend, please move aside!"
"Move aside!"
Without stopping, she skillfully stepped over various magical tools with clanging sounds.
Qiao Wan flipped over like a kite and rolled on the ground for two rounds, continuing her escape!
Ma Huaizhen asked, "What is this?"
Yuan Liu looked puzzled and asked, "Master, what's with the wheelchair?"
Did that person just step over Ma Huaizhen's wheelchair? His name was Lu Cixian, right?
Watching the young boy roll away in the distance, Qiao Wan glanced at the wheelchair's handrail. Ma Huaizhen lifted his eyelids, let out a cold laugh, and extended his undamaged right hand, quickly making a hand gesture.
Boom!
Qiao Wan stumbled and fell to the ground.
But just a second later, the young boy stood up unsteadily, wiping away blood and tears, and continued running desperately.
Even strong man Yuan Liu widened his eyes in disbelief and cursed, "Damn it! Are you kidding me, Master? Ma Huaizhen, you're so damn despicable!"
On the way, everyone turned their heads and exclaimed, "Hey! Isn't that Lu Cixian?"
Why does he look like he's being chased by a ghost?
And what's with the golden light following behind the young boy?
In an instant, Lotus Seat Peak was in complete chaos.
As they watched Qiao Wan ride away tearfully on a flying disk, a determined golden light chased behind her.
The dust settled.
Qi Feidao widened his eyes, "Just now, was that... Little Taoist Friend Lu running past?!"
As steady as Meng Canglang, he watched the distant figure come running towards them and couldn't help but blurt out, "Is that Lu Cixian?"
Lu Cixian?
Xie Xingzhi glanced over.
Seeing Qiao Wan looking disheveled, as if being chased by a ghost, he immediately furrowed his brow.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
A gust of wind swept by, causing an elder from the sect to press down his beard that was blown up by the wind, and he smiled happily. "Haha, the younger generation at this law conference is truly full of vitality!"
Youth, how wonderful.
As the Buddha's light slowly dissipated behind her, Qiao Wan finally took a breath and instinctively slowed her pace. After confirming that the Buddha's light didn't catch up with her, she squatted down on the ground and tremblingly hugged her head.
Oh no!
She dared not go back, let alone face Miaofa directly.
What had she done?
"I'm finished." Qiao Wan squatted on the ground, holding her head and stammering.
"I'm truly finished."
Being possessed, was not what she wanted.
She didn't know if it was too late to apologize now.
Qiao Wan struggled with her thoughts, realizing that she had always regarded Miaofa as a senior. But when she thought about all the inappropriate things he had done, even someone as experienced as her couldn't handle this awkwardness.
After knowing each other for so many years, she had completely forgotten that despite being a senior and a high-ranking monk, Miaofa was indeed a man.
Thinking about this made the situation even more embarrassing.
She adjusted her facial expression and remained expressionless, burying her face in her hands.
Damn it.
In front of everyone on Lotus Seat Peak, the Venerable One of the Great Hall of Light naturally couldn't chase after a junior.
There were countless ways to deal with Qiao Wan, but not now. Let alone the possession, she was also mingling with the demon clan. For this reason alone, he couldn't let him off lightly anymore!
With a pale face, Miaofa withdrew his Buddha light, casting a glance from the corner of his eye.
The young novice who rushed over in a fluster suddenly froze in place.
"V-V-Venerable One?"
Miaofa closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The young novice quietly reached out and touched the jade scroll at his waist, anxiously wondering if Venerable One had discovered the words on it.
As a dedicated servant of Venerable One, the young novice had unwavering loyalty and never had any doubts!
On the jade scroll:
"Lu Cixian is such a brave guy! Have you seen, my taoist friends?"
...
...
- - - No one has actually seen what kind of person Venerable One is, right?
- - - Speaking of which, those bold fellows either faced Venerable One Miaofa's punishment or turned to Buddhism. My taoist friends, don't you find Venerable One Miaofa's reaction suspicious?
- - - What do you mean, taoist friend?
- - - Those bald donkeys in Buddhism can't keep quiet for hundreds of years. Most ordinary folks can't either.
"This is really hard to endure, with such a big reaction, and not daring to see anyone. So, it means that Venerable One Miaofa..."
"It's a mix of all sorts, with words written in anonymous scrolls flying all over."
"He is sincerely loyal to Venerable One, with no ulterior motives. This is shown when he stands up against others who slander Venerable One, to protect his dignity!"
"Nonsense! He takes care of Venerable One's grooming and dressing every day! I have seen it with my own eyes. Venerable One is majestic! Venerable One is the real deal, a true man! His dignity cannot be tarnished! If you don't believe it, let's compare by taking off our trousers!"
"How could you... How could you defame this great monk behind his back! Venerable One is magnificent, everywhere he goes!"
"You've seen it? Then, taoist friend, tell us why Venerable One reacts so strongly?"
"I... I have seen it. Venerable One is so huge (picture of a giant bird spreading its wings, as big as a mountain). Venerable One is too big to go out and meet people!"
With these words, countless birds were startled and took flight.
The disciples, practitioners, and servants of various sects who held the jade scrolls all looked up at the sky in shock, their mouths agape.
After a while, a line of pink ink characters cautiously peeked out.
"Sisters?"
Could this reaction from the Venerable One be because they discovered the contents of the jade scroll?
As the young disciple thought about what crazy things they had done, they trembled and stole a glance at the monk's reaction.
This reaction... doesn't seem like they found that jade scroll. Could it be that the Venerable One is still angry about Fairy Qiao's situation?
Although it's true that many people desire the beauty of the Venerable One, not everyone is fearless. Some have even touched the Venerable One's shoulders and rubbed oil on their chest muscles. But seeing the Venerable One frown so deeply and react so strongly is a first.
Thinking of the bluish-green eyes of Dingren Peak's stone wall, Miaofa's eyes darkened and the corners turned slightly red.
