Chapter 454: Chapter Sister-in-law’s Request

Liang Yu felt that if it were him, he would definitely have kicked that person out, as that would be the action of a normal person.

Therefore, he wouldn’t be surprised if he were kicked out by an enraged Zen Master Qizhen.

This gave him a headache; if he were to join the Zen Sect, whether they would accept him was one thing, but Liang Yu was quite certain that he definitely couldn’t stand those restrictions.

This would easily lead to his undercover mission failing, and then how would he meet the other party?

After much thought, Liang Yu still had no good ideas, so he simply stopped thinking about it and decided to go find Zen Master Qizhen first.

Soon, Liang Yu returned to West Sand City; he didn’t go directly to Zen Master Qizhen but instead returned home near the market first.

However, as soon as Liang Yu returned to the Doomsday Fortress, he wandered around inside for a while but didn’t receive the welcome he had imagined.

Instead, the interior of the fortress was quite deserted.

After exploring the first floor, he didn’t find Lan Ling or the others, which made Liang Yu a bit confused, suspecting they might have left the fortress without permission.

Just as Liang Yu arrived on the second floor and walked into the living room, a dark shadow pounced on him.

Liang Yu was a bit puzzled at this moment; he remembered not having any pets.

When the dark shadow pounced on him, he subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

The dark shadow came with a gust of wind; after pouncing on Liang Yu, it didn’t stop, and he felt it clinging to him.

He was slightly stunned, a familiar fragrance wafted to his nose, and a complex emotion instantly surged in his heart.

Without looking, he had already confirmed that the person clinging to him was his Xiao Yizi, Mu Yunxi.

Slowly pulling Xiao Yizi off him, what met his eyes was Mu Yunxi’s delicate and charming face.

Her eyes were curved, sparkling with liveliness and playfulness, and a sweet smile graced her lips, like a blooming flower in spring, bright and captivating.

At this moment, Mu Yunxi gently shook his arm, her voice soft and coaxing.

“Brother-in-law, I want to learn too.”

“Whatever you’re teaching my sister, I want to learn too!”

“The others are on the third floor now and won’t play with me.”

“They even made me sit at a table with that little girl Yi Yi.”

Her voice was soft and sweet like cotton candy, as if it could melt into one’s heart.

At the same time, Xiao Yizi’s last sentence also hit his funny bone, and he naturally laughed.

Sitting at a table with Yi Yi, isn’t that just for children?

However, since Lan Ling had Xiao Yizi ask him, he still needed to consider it and didn’t immediately agree.

Instead, he asked,

“Are Lan Ling and the other two sparring on the third floor?”

After asking, Liang Yu looked at Xiao Yizi, who pouted and nodded.

“Mm.”

Then Mu Yunxi again pleaded with Liang Yu.

“Brother-in-law, please teach me.”

Liang Yu stroked her head.

“It’s not that I won’t teach you, it’s just that this skill isn’t that easy to practice; you have to be able to endure hardship.”

“Moreover, this requires talent.”

“Without talent, even if you put in several times the effort of others, it might not have any effect.”

Mu Yunxi patted her chest and guaranteed,

“I’m not afraid of hardship, brother-in-law, just trust me.”

Looking at her resolute attitude, Liang Yu pondered for a moment and felt that since Xiao Yizi had such determination, it wouldn’t hurt to try.

Liang Yu handed the concentrated medicinal liquid to Xiao Yizi, the liquid gently swaying in the transparent container.

His expression was serious as he meticulously explained the precautions word by word, his gaze always fixed on Xiao Yizi with concern.

Xiao Yizi looked up, her eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky, listening intently, nodding occasionally, looking incredibly well-behaved.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Yizi took the medicinal liquid, a wide smile spreading across her face, as happy as if she had received a long-desired treasure.

She lightly spun around in place, let out a cheer, joyful like a child, and then skipped away, her footsteps light and lively.

Liang Yu stood in place, watching Xiao Yizi’s receding figure, and couldn’t help but shake his head gently, his eyes full of indulgence and helplessness.

He hurried along and soon saw Lan Ling and the other two still sparring in the training area.

The simulated sunlight fell on them, sweat trickled down their faces, and each of them exuded a tenacious spirit.

He quickly walked over and called out to stop them.

When Lan Ling saw him, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes, and she instantly pounced and clung to him.

He finally knew who Xiao Yizi had learned that move from.

Liang Yu gently caressed Lan Ling in his arms, briefly explaining Xiao Yizi’s situation in concise yet clear words, while Lan Ling and the other two listened attentively.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lan Ling, his eyes full of deep affection and longing.

Lan Ling tilted her head slightly, tears shimmering in her eyes, and the two, as if by telepathy, shared a long-awaited embrace and kiss.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, the surrounding hustle and bustle vanished, leaving only the intertwining sounds of their heartbeats.

A moment later, he gently released Lan Ling and said with a firm gaze,

“I still have things to do, and I’m going out again.”

“If you go out, be careful, and if there’s real trouble, have Mario go to the City Lord’s Mansion to find someone.”

Lan Ling nodded slightly, her eyes full of understanding and support.

After they lingered for a while longer, Liang Yu reluctantly departed.

After leaving his cozy home, it was already noon when Liang Yu arrived at the Zen Temple’s main entrance, where pilgrims came and went in a continuous stream.

Liang Yu also saw an acquaintance of his at the entrance at this time; he had originally intended to just blend in, but now he changed his mind.

Liang Yu skillfully walked forward and greeted the other person.

“Oh!”

“Isn’t this Master Hui Nian?”

“It’s really been a long time; has Zen Master Qizhen released you from your confinement?”

Hearing that familiar voice, like a heavy hammer striking his heart, he trembled all over, his hand gripping the prayer beads unconsciously tightening.

Then Liang Yu’s teasing words drifted over, like a sharp hook, easily stirring up the emotions he had forcibly suppressed deep within his heart.

In an instant, he felt an uncontrollable urge surging within him, as if about to break through the defenses of reason and violate the precepts again.

On his forehead, tiny beads of sweat instantly appeared, and his breathing became rapid.

So, Hui Nian closed his eyes tightly, trying to block out external disturbances, continuously reciting calming scriptures in his mind.

Gradually, the turbulent emotions receded like the tide, slowly calming down.

When his mind finally stabilized, he slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze returned to peace and serenity.

At this moment, he was unhurried, every gesture exuding composure.

He turned his head slightly, looked at Liang Yu, and responded in a calm and steady voice, word by word,

“Benefactor, it’s been a long time.”

“May I ask what brings you here this time?”

Liang Yu then showed a bright, sunny smile, but when Hui Nian saw this friendly smile, he inexplicably had a bad premonition.
