Meanwhile, the battle on the other side continued.
After separating, Little Dragon didn't hesitate to attack Yun Yi again.
The wind from his fists whistled, but every attack on Yun Yi felt like hitting cotton, a bizarre sight.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Little Dragon stopped his attack, puzzled, and looked at Yun Yi.
He had been practicing martial arts for a while, but he'd never experienced this feeling before.
"This is the application of Qi. When the Yi Jin Jing is cultivated to a certain level, you can condense a three-foot Qi wall, which can change in many ways and is unpredictable, even to ghosts and gods."
Yun Yi smiled and said.
Now that he had cultivated the Yi Jin Jing to the Seventh Level of the Floating Pagoda, he could naturally utilize this technique proficiently.
Moreover, if he used the true Qi of the Yi Jin Jing to activate the Golden Bell Shield, he could condense a giant golden bell around his body. As long as he was enveloped by the golden bell, even cannonballs would find it hard to break through.
As long as he continued to train diligently, his Qi would become more and more powerful, until he could break through the limits of his martial arts and reach a new realm.
"So powerful! I can do it too."
Little Dragon said excitedly.
Seeing this, Yun Yi nodded, and they both stopped sparring and turned towards the three people watching from outside.
"Master." X2
Yun Yi and Little Dragon bowed simultaneously.
"Good, good, good. With you two, what worries can our Wulong Temple have?"
The abbot looked at the two with happiness. No matter how he looked at them, they seemed adorable. If only those two bumbling fools weren't around...
"Hey, Master, you're being too biased, aren't you?"
Little Wen rolled his eyes. His disdain was palpable.
"That's right. Even red flowers need green leaves to set them off. We're willing to be green leaves."
The senior brother nodded hastily.
"Unmotivated, you're unmotivated! You're content being green leaves? You really want to make me die from anger!"
The abbot glared at them angrily.
Seeing this, both of them quickly hid to the side. Yun Yi and Little Dragon burst into laughter, and even the abbot couldn't hold back.
After laughing, the abbot explained the reason for calling them over.
It was the end of autumn, and the weather was getting colder. The Wulong Temple needed to prepare winter food and various clothes.
Hearing this, Yun Yi nodded readily. It wasn't difficult. He just needed to go down the mountain and find someone to bring the purchased items up.
However, organizing it would be a bit troublesome, as it involved the food and supplies for an entire temple. He made a list on a piece of paper.
Knowing that Yun Yi was going down the mountain, Little Dragon and Little Wen naturally wanted to go as well.
Since the two youngsters were going, the senior brother should go too. It was only reasonable, right?
So, the task that was originally just Yun Yi's, suddenly became a mission for four people.
...
After going down the mountain, the four first ate and played outside for a while, then began their massive shopping spree.
They gave the purchased items to the truck driver, so he could directly haul them up the mountain.
Afterwards, Yun Yi took the three to play some more. Hong Kong was already very developed. There were many fun things on the streets. They didn't choose to return to the mountain until it was almost dusk.
But by a small stream on their way back, they encountered a woman who wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide.
"So, you brought her back? This is a temple. Have you ever seen a temple keeping women?"
The abbot looked at Yun Yi and the others with a sense of existential crisis.
Although his thoughts were quite open-minded, this was too blatant. He couldn't judge.
"You'll have to ask senior brother about that."
Yun Yi coughed, indicating that it wasn't his business.
Ever since this woman named Xiao Hong appeared, the senior brother had completely fallen for her. He brought her back without thinking, and Yun Yi and Little Dragon couldn't persuade him, no matter how hard they tried.
Now he was reaping what he sowed.
"Master, Xiao Hong is so pitiful. She was abused by her father since childhood, and then sold to be a wife. Her husband died shortly after. She's at the end of her rope. We can't just stand by and watch."
The senior brother looked at the abbot and pleaded.
It sounded plausible enough, but the abbot felt something was off. And his eyes couldn't stop tearing up. Little Dragon, Little Wen, and some of the disciples outside the window who were peeking at the beautiful woman were doing the same.
"Are you sick? Just speak. Why are you chopping onions?"
The abbot looked at the senior brother, who was frantically chopping onions to make people cry, with anger. He couldn't believe he came up with this idea.
"Hehehe, it's necessary for the atmosphere. Master, you must help Xiao Hong."
The senior brother chuckled and pleaded.
The abbot couldn't possibly not know his intentions. This wasn't about helping Xiao Hong. It was probably about helping himself, right?
But seeing the senior brother's expression, he couldn't refuse. After all, they had watched him grow up. Now that he had met someone he was fated to be with, he couldn't ignore him.
"What a troublesome fate. Let her stay in the firewood room. Keep her far away."
The abbot finally said helplessly.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
The senior brother was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked the abbot profusely. In his eyes, the abbot was basically the reincarnation of Buddha.
"Alright, you all go back to your own rooms. Yun Yi, come to my room for a moment."
The abbot waved his hand impatiently and walked back to his room.
The disciples outside immediately dispersed and returned to their own rooms. The abbot's words carried weight here.
Seeing this, Yun Yi walked out of the room and followed the abbot.
Soon, only the senior brother and Xiao Hong remained. The senior brother began helping Xiao Hong prepare her things.
...
The abbot's Zen room.
"Tell me your thoughts."
The abbot looked at Yun Yi who entered and sat down beside him.
"What thoughts?"
Yun Yi asked.
"You little smart aleck, with your intelligence, can't you sense that something is wrong with this?"
The abbot looked at Yun Yi and laughed and scolded him.
He could discover things, so he didn't think Yun Yi couldn't.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect Master to notice so quickly."
Yun Yi sat down with a smile.
"Nonsense. I may be old, but I'm not senile. More importantly, I know your senior brother too well. It's impossible for a beautiful woman like this to be interested in him."
The abbot rolled his eyes at Yun Yi.
"Yes, yes, you're the smartest. A woman who obviously looks like she's fishing couldn't possibly be ordinary."
Yun Yi quickly explained with a flattering smile.
By "fishing," he wasn't referring to ordinary fish. He was referring to the four of them. This woman's intentions were too obvious.
"Is it the people from the Demon Sect again?"
The abbot asked seriously.
"Yes, since we already had Green Lemon, it's obvious who would come next."
Yun Yi nodded.
"Red Lemon... Xiao Hong. I see. You're still smarter than me, Yun Yi."
The abbot suddenly understood. He finally knew the answer.
After all, Green Lemon and Red Lemon were a pair. Green Lemon failed, but Red Lemon didn't make a move. It seemed she was just waiting for the right moment.
