Chapter 556 - Fake Monk?
Starting Chapter 556 of "Beautiful CEO's Top Martial Expert": Chapter 556: Chapter 554: Fake Monk?Seeing the two of them behaving so affectionately, Xiao Yifeng... See what happens next!
Chapter 556: Chapter 554: Fake Monk?Seeing the two of them behaving so affectionately, Xiao Yifeng wore a somewhat awkward expression.
Zi Luo glanced at Xiao Yifeng then focused her gaze on Nogawa, "Him, you cannot take away. Go back and tell the Cangye Family Head that this is my wish!"
Nogawaâs eyes flickered, he nodded and replied, "Yes, Princess Your Highness, I will convey your message to the Family Head."
After making this statement, Nogawa addressed Xiao Yifeng, "If you miss your comrades, you are welcome to visit the Cangye Clan anytime!"
Having said that, Nogawa left, revealing a sinister expression as he did so.
Xiao Yifengâs complexion changed immediately, and a trace of icy coldness flashed in his eyes.
Nogawaâs words had evidently informed him that Song Chenbo and the others had ended up in the hands of the Cangye Clan.
He had not anticipated that they would ultimately fall into the Cangye peopleâs hands.
"Brother Xiao! Are you alright?"
Liusheng Jian called out to Xiao Yifeng worriedly.
"Iâm fine!"
Xiao Yifeng shook his head.
"Your medical skills are remarkable. Iâll offer you a chance to serve as an Imperial Physician in the Imperial Family, how about it?"
Zi Luo said to Xiao Yifeng with her cool demeanor.
"Iâm sorry, Princess, but Iâm not interested in becoming an Imperial Physician. I have other matters to attend to. Thank you for your intervention this time, and I shall repay your kindness when the opportunity arises," Xiao Yifeng said indifferently, about to leave but was stopped by the Imperial Familyâs bodyguard.
"Let him go!"
With a word from Zi Luo, Xiao Yifeng was allowed to leave the area.
"Princess, please donât mind!"
Liusheng Yiyi addressed Zi Luo in haste.
"Youâre so concerned about him, do you have feelings for him?"
Zi Luoâs gaze bore into Liusheng Yiyi, whose face changed color as she shook her head quickly, "No, Princess, youâre mistaken."
Zi Luo leaned over and whispered into Liusheng Yiyiâs ear, "You are mine, and nobody can take you away. If someone tries to steal you away, I will kill them!"
Hearing Zi Luoâs words, Liusheng Yiyiâs body shivered slightly, her lips tightly sealed, not uttering a word.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yifeng had left the plaza and pulled out his phone to make a call, "Where are you guys now?"
"Alright, I understand, wait for me."
Xiao Yifeng said briefly and then hung up the phone.
"Whoâs there?"
Sensing a presence behind him, Xiao Yifeng swiftly turned around, a cold aura surging from within him.
"Donât be agitated, itâs me!"
The voice of the little monk Qijie erupted, as he stood behind Xiao Yifeng.
"Oh, itâs you!"
Xiao Yifeng relaxed upon seeing Qijie.
"I heard there was a contest in the square and came to join the fun. I didnât expect to find you here, but your medical skills are truly formidable, probably even more badass than my masterâs."
The little monk spoke with a grin on his face.
"Whoâs your master, the Abbot of Lingyin Temple?"
Xiao Yifeng asked the little monk involuntarily.
"Youâre quite impressive to have guessed that."
"Did you show up this time to take back the Buddhist Relic?"
Xiao Yifengâs eyes sparkled as he watched Qijie.
"I know the relic is in your hands, but donât worry, I wonât take it from you. You did treat me to food and drinks, after all. However, if you agree to cover all my future expenses for drinking, eating meat, and chasing girls, then the relic is yours,"
Qijie said with a curl of his lips.
"Is that even possible?"
Xiao Yifengâs mouth twitched, revealing a strange expression as he looked at the young monk. He now seriously doubted whether this guy was truly a disciple of the Lingyin Temple.
Werenât they saying that the relic was the templeâs most treasured possession? How could this young monk simply not want it, and for such a reason as having his drinking, meat-eating, and girl-chasing expenses covered? This was completely mind-blowing.
"Besides, the relic isnât much use unless you collect all seven, so you can have it,"
the young monk said indifferently.
"You need to gather all seven relics for it to work?"
A look of surprise flashed in Xiao Yifengâs eyes.
"Exactly. Though the relic contains extremely powerful energy that can help martial artists improve their strength, it only reveals its true potential when all seven relics are gathered together,"
"A single one can at best be used to soothe the mind, helping one condense qi and focus the spirit without falling into demonic madness, but thatâs about it. Considering the relics have been lost for such a long time, finding them all is still uncertain, so this relic is basically useless. Take it if you want,"
the young monk said, curling his lips.
"I see now!"
Xiao Yifeng had come to understand. No wonder he couldnât figure out the relic; it was only effective when all seven pieces were gathered, otherwise it was practically useless.
However, he had already collected two relics, leaving only five more to find.
"You really are something, breaking all the monastic preceptsâdrinking, eating meat, and chasing girls. Are you sure youâre a monk?"
Xiao Yifeng cast another doubtful glance at Qijie.
"Of course, Iâve been in the Lingyin Temple since I was born. What does it matter if I drink, eat meat, or chase girls as long as Buddha is in my heart? Itâs all the same, no harm done. Whatâs the use of abiding by precepts if oneâs heart is without Buddha?"
Qijie spoke nonchalantly.
"So, youâre planning to stick with me?"
"My master only gave me a plane ticket, and no extra money. Iâm broke, and in Japan, youâre the only Chinese person I know, so naturally, I have to stick with you. Besides, with the relic in your possession, thatâs a kind of fate between us,"
Qijie said with a cheerful smile.
"Alright then!"
Xiao Yifengâs eyes flickered, and he nodded. The young monk was pretty skilled, and it could be helpful to keep him around.
In Kyoto, a discrete building stood thousands of meters away from the harbor. Xiao Yifeng, along with Qijie, arrived at this place and took out his phone to dial a number.
Following that, the buildingâs door opened, and the figures of Xiao Yifeng and Qijie walked in.
Stepping inside, they were immediately met with a thick aura of battle.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
Two voices rang out, one thunderous and the other exceptionally deep.
These two individuals were Lei Bao, dressed in combat gear with a stern appearance and an aura of warfare about him,
and An Ying, entirely cloaked in black, with no identifiable presence, like a phantom shadow. He was another one of Xiao Yifengâs subordinates.
Lei Bao excelled at sniping, with sharp eyesight, while An Ying was adept at concealment and assassination. His master, that old man, had passed down this art of stealth, which was even more potent than the Hidden Assassinâs technique. When he truly concealed himself, even Xiao Yifeng would struggle to detect him immediately.
"Greetings to the War Emperor!"
Then, a chorus of powerful voices erupted. In the building stood two hundred Zhan Huang mercenaries clad in mercenary garb, armed with weapons and military swords.
Each was radiating a murderous air, their eyes fiercely sharp, like an elite force. The combined aura of these two hundred soldiers, mixed with the killing intent forged on battlefields, created an oppressive and formidable atmosphere.
