Chapter 541 – The Self-Cultivation of a Standardized Man

Cats have thick pads of flesh on their limbs and run flat out, silently.

Even an expert with smart ears would not have been able to catch the movement of the orange cat running if he had not listened carefully.

Of course, even if they heard it, no one would care about a feral cat.

Xu Qi’an had spent half a day in the Chai Mansion, and only knew a general direction of Chai Xing’er’s residence.

The orange cat “aimlessly” walked around the inner courtyard, not long, and finally found Chai Xing’er’s boudoir, which is a small courtyard, the main house of the room, candlelight flickering.

The orange cat walked slowly under the eaves to the door and listened with his ear to the side.

“Li Lang, tell me truthfully, is it really for me that you returned to Xiangzhou?”

In the candle-lit bedroom, Chai Xing’er’s cool and pleasant voice came out from the doorway.

“Of course!”

Li Lingsu’s low and timeless voice: “As I said, a person with attachments can’t go far, even if he’s at the ends of the earth, sooner or later he’ll return to his beloved one day.”

“Then you swear that you’ll never leave me again.”

“Apricot, you know I’m a prodigal son ……..”

Li Ling Su’s tone changed, “But if you are willing to come with me, I swear that I will never leave you in this life.”

Lying!

The orange cat muttered in her heart, this scum, knowing that the other party would not give up the Chai family and follow him far away at this juncture, before she deliberately said that.

He couldn’t see inside, and the cat wasn’t big enough to reach the window to poke a hole and peek, and besides, it was a strange sight to see a cat lying on its back peeking in the window.

Any fool can see there’s a problem.

So the orange cat gracefully plopped down in the doorway, ears perked up as she continued to eavesdrop.

Chai Xing’er sighed, “Li Lang, the Chai family has suffered such a great change, how can I go with you?”

Li Lingsu’s gentle voice rang out, “I can stay here and wait for you, and when Chai Fu is done, we’ll wander the world together.”

There was a momentary silence in the room, and Chai Xing’er’s clear, cold voice:

“Li Lang, it’s not that I’m not willing to accompany you to wander the world, it’s just that in this world, if we can be peaceful and joyful, why bother to be uprooted. Although the Chai family has suffered this great disaster, but for us, why is it not a good opportunity.”

“You, what do you mean?”

Li Ling Su’s voice changed a bit.

“My elder brother has only three sons, the eldest son died young, the second son is mediocre and incompetent, and the youngest son is a fop who only knows how to enjoy happiness. Now Chai Xian has committed treason and done such evil deeds. The identity of the Chai family’s head can only be done by me in the future.”

Chai Xing’er softly said, “Li Lang, the only thing I lack is that I don’t have an heir. Will you stay in Xiangzhou, and in the future, our child will be the head of the Chai family.”

Li Lingsu did not answer, and after a long silence, slowly said:

“Xing’er, tell me, do you really have nothing to do with what happened to Chai Xian?”

“You don’t believe me?” Chai Xing’er’s tone changed.

“I believe in you, it’s just that this case is quite strange and I wasn’t there ……..”

Before Li Lingsu could finish, she was interrupted by Chai Xing’er, who coldly said, “I’m tired.”

Li Lingsu sighed and immediately said, “You rest well, I’ll go back to my room first.”

A few seconds later, outside the door, the orange cat suddenly heard a ‘plop’, as if someone had fallen, and then came the shocked and dismayed voice of Seiko:

“Apricot, you ……..”

The orange cat Xu Qi’an was in awe and knew he was poisoned.

Why did Chai Xing’er poison the holy son? My main body is at the inn, I can’t even rush over to save him, by the way, I can go to the Buddhist monks and drive the tiger to swallow the wolf …….

In the midst of the flickering thoughts, he heard Chai Xing’er sigh quietly:

“Li Lang, you’ve changed, in the old days, you would have hugged me and comforted me regardless. But now you only think of leaving. Have you forgotten about the oath you made at the beginning, and the fact that you risked your life to break into the Thousand Extinct Valleys in order to please me?

“What made you change your mind?”

No, girl, he is not changing his heart, he just has a kidney loss ……… Xu Qi an answered Chai Xing Er s question in his heart by spitting.

“What the hell do you want?”

Li Ling Su eased over, her tone calm, just a little helpless.

Seeing that the holy son did not panic, Xu Qi’an intended to wait and see for a few more moments, after all, the aftermath of drawing in the monks from the Western Regions was immense, it would expose Li Lingsu’s identity, and thus his identity, the point was, he was still unsure of where Duo Difficulty Vajra was at the moment.

Chai Xing’er softly said, “Of course I want to give you a child, God sent you to me at this time and arranged it properly, I am very happy.”

“Then why did you use poison?”

“Because before that, I ask you three questions. If you lie, or fail to answer, I will cut off your lifeblood.”

As he spoke, Xu Qi’an heard the sound of scissors opening and closing, as well as Li Lingsu’s trembling voice: “What’s the problem?”

This Nima is a sick pet ah ……… orange cat Xu Qi an showed his teeth, subconsciously folded his legs together, and then realized that the one who bent down was a small female cat.

Suddenly he was looking forward to the follow-up session.

“Have you ever loved me?” Chai Xing’er said softly.

“Naturally, my heart for you can be shown in heaven and earth. If there is even a hint of falsehood, let me never be allowed to transcend my life.” Li Lingsu exclaimed.

“Although I am infatuated with Xing’er, how do you know that I am telling the truth?” Li Lingsu laughed bitterly.

“Li Lang, you don’t need to test, to tell you the truth, I put a love compulsion in the wine you drank just now, that day you left without saying goodbye, I was heartbroken, I personally went to the Southern Border, and begged for a love compulsion from the Love Compulsion Department.

“If you truly love me, the love compulsion won’t backfire, and vice versa, the pain will be unbearable. In addition, the mother compulsion is inside me, and you can’t lie about any of the questions I ask.”

I, am I not compatible with the love compulsion in my life …….. Li Lingsu’s face turned pale.

Chai Xing’er faintly said, “Second question, have you ever loved another woman.”

Wuhu! The holy son s ding ding can t be saved ……… Xu Qi an s cat face is hard to hide his smile.

Anyway, as long as the holy son’s life is not in danger, the rest is not a big problem. For a scumbag, a chicken and egg is the best punishment.

Li Ling Su didn’t answer her.

Chai Xing’er narrowed her eyes, squatted down beside him, and softly said, “Why doesn’t Li Lang answer me?”

Li Ling Su sighed:

“I just feel sad that when we first met, the moment I saw you, I secretly vowed in my heart that you were the woman I would guard and dote on in the future. I followed the will of my heart without pursuing the reasons why.

“Now I realize that what you lacked was a sense of security, and because of that, I went out of my way to try to guard you in the first place. I guess I left without saying goodbye that day, and it hit you extremely hard. Alas, a thousand mistakes are all my fault. Other than you, I’ve seen other women, such as my mother.

“Apricot, I’m glad I came back at this time to face the storms of the Chai family with you.”

What about besides mother, get your facts straight, good lord, a half-truth answer sandwiched between a whole bunch of lovey-dovey words, think that’s going to keep it from the others? Orange Cat Anne was furious.

Clunk!

The scissors fell to the ground, followed by Chai Xing’er’s voice crying with joy, “Li Lang, Li Lang …….”

……….

Orange Cat Anne waited outside the door for a quarter of an hour, hearing the woman’s gasps and shaking the bed, and knowing that the holy son was beginning to be forced to open for business, he left.

Sickly petite women must not ah, or Cheng’s today, is your tomorrow ……… Chai Xing’er’s suspicion is indeed not small, judging by the motive of the crime, she is the biggest beneficiary ……..

While searching for the dwellings of the Buddhist monks, he thought, and in a short while, he found the courtyard where the monks were.

The monks had a regular routine, and the courtyard was dark unless the room to the west was still lit.

Orange Cat Anne enters the yard noiselessly and smells a strong scent of meat.

The door to the west room was open a crack, and several stout monks sat by the fireplace, on which stood a large cauldron of steam from which the smell of meat wafted.

Martial arts monks are different from Zen masters. Martial arts monks do not have to abide by the rules of purity and discipline; wine and meat pass through their intestines, but Buddha stays in his heart.

In addition, martial monks, like martial artists, follow the path of refining essence and transforming qi, and have extremely large meals.

Xu Qi’an glanced through the doorway and found no Fourth Grade Martial Monk Pure Edge or Zen Master in the room, so his heart was a little more at ease.

“Do you know why Master Du Nan left in the middle of the day?”

A martial monk ate with his mouth full of oil and swept a glance at his fellow disciples.

“I don’t know!”

The other martial arts monks shook their heads.

The Vajra of Duo Nian is not here? Orange Cat An’s heart rejoiced, then instinctively thought: what could be more important than recovering the Floating Pagoda? One must know that the severed arm of Shenshu was imprisoned inside.

“In fact, I think that Senior Uncle Pureheart is too nosy, if we arrive in Yongzhou as early as possible, we will be able to scout for information and ambush that person as early as possible. Going at a pinch is missing the boat.”

The martial monk who had spoken earlier shook his head.

“There is no harm, no harm, that person does not know that we already know his true identity, besides, this time, in addition to Master Dounan, there are also Duo Sentiment Rohan and Dufan Vajra who led a group of fellow disciples to help, even if that person inserts his wings, he will not be able to escape.”

A martial arts monk sipped his broth and gave a hey.

Who is “that person”? Duo Sentient Rohan and Dufan Vajra led the Buddhist monks to come out together ……… Xu Qi’an s heart sank, and after a little thought, he had a guess – the Buddhist sect is rushing to me.

When he thought about the clues he had exposed when he was in Leizhou, the Buddha Sect guessed his identity, although unexpected, it made sense.

“A luohan and two vajra have been deployed, hiss, the Buddhist Sect is really paying attention to me. I’m glad that old man Supervisor Zheng fucked up the glazed Bodhisattva, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to escape at all.

“This female Bodhisattva who is in control of the Walker Dharma can be called the first in the world in terms of speed.” Orange Cat An was thankful and heavy.

Another martial monk said, ”I think Uncle Jingxin has his own considerations, don’t forget, if he hadn’t intervened in a mountain bandit scourge on a village or town a few days ago, we wouldn’t have encountered that mountain bandit leader who had gained the dragon’s energy.

“Hey, now that he has put down the butcher’s knife, cleaned his heart and converted to my Buddhism …….. Who’s there?”

The martial monk suddenly drank.

At the same time, the door, which had been left open a crack, opened completely, and a halo of orange light illuminated the orange cat by the threshold.

“Meow~”

The orange cat purred softly, her amber pupils, ghostly, staring at the iron pot.

It turned out to be a cat attracted by the scent!

The martial monk who had spotted it turned soft in the face and chucked a piece of fatty meat over the threshold.

Crap, can we have a piece of lean meat …….. The orange cat An reluctantly picked up the fat meat and fled as the martial monks drove him away.

Out of the courtyard, within a few steps, it suddenly saw a figure coming from the darkness, a strong man with an expressionless face.

Orange cat An originally thought it was the Chai House, this did not care, walking close, the cat torso suddenly stiffened, this person’s face is no different from normal people, but there is no heartbeat, no breathing, like a walking corpse ………

It’s a corpse!

Although the Chai family is famous for controlling corpses, there shouldn’t be anyone who has the habit of manipulating corpses to walk around carelessly in the middle of the night ……..

As the thought flashed, it saw the body brush past it, skirting the compound where the monks lived and heading toward the inner courtyard.

Follow up to see …….. Orange Cat An followed lightly behind, and in about a quarter of an hour, the body came to a halt in a secluded courtyard somewhere in the inner courtyard.

“He paused for a moment outside the courtyard, bounced straight up, leapt over the two-meter-high wall, and landed in the inner courtyard.

“What man?!”

There were heckling sounds from the courtyard.

In the next moment, there was a series of thuds, accompanied by muffled grunts and the sound of falling to the ground, and everything winded down.

Orange Cat Anne waited outside for a few minutes, and sprang out, scooting over the wall as easily as she could, and into the yard as well.

This is entirely the orange cat’s own ability; mind compulsion can only control creatures of low intelligence, and cannot grant abilities.

Luckily, the one I control is a cat, if it were a dog, it might have already entered the stomach of that group of martial arts monks ……… He bellyached in his heart, and his amber gaze swept across the courtyard.

Two bodies collapsed in the yard, unconscious.

The door to the main house stood open, dark and eerie.

Orange Catan quickly swept past the unconscious pair and scurried into the darkened room with simple furnishings and a black hole by the window that stretched deep into the earth.

The stone flap was raised high, and this hole had just been opened.

Without any hesitation, the orange cat dug into the hole.

A step was constructed at the entrance of the cave, stretching towards the ground, and a faint glow rose from the ground, a halo of light emanating from an oil lamp.

Then the faint halo of light, the orange cat walked noiselessly down the steps, and after a few minutes, reached the end of the steps.

The staleness hit the air, accompanied by a harsh smell.

Ann the orange cat nearly fainted; cats have a sense of smell dozens of times better than humans.

The flavor is too strong …….. Orange Cat Anne staggered to her feet and took a moment to slow down.

It’s the smell of corpses!

This cellar stinks of corpses.

He found the cellar to be large and well-connected, more like a miniature underground labyrinth.

Walking quietly for a few moments, a tunnel appeared before him.

On both sides of the tunnel, bodies stood silent, male and female, old and young, in birthday suits, long dresses, and Confucian shirts ……..

Their eyes were closed and their faces were pale, yet they looked as if they would wake up at any moment.

In addition, the ground was littered with head coverings, which were conceivably originally placed on the bodies’ heads, but were now being ripped off.

………..

In the inn, Mu Nanjian finished reading an idle book, stretched her waist, and planned to burrow into the quilt to sleep.

But she suddenly heard a sharp intake of breath, and on the small collapse next door, Xu Qi’an was on his side, eyes closed, breathing heavily.

“What’s wrong?”

Mu Nanjian was taken aback and was still concerned about him.

Xu Qi’an didn’t open her eyes and replied dreamily, “Man, heaven on earth ……..”
