Chapter 98 Master Shifang’s Disciple
Qin Chao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This Master was too invincible; Selling a 15 yuan book for a 100 yuan. If all the bookseller were like him, weren’t they going get such a big profit?
“Benefactor, you must not be fooled by the superficial phenomenon.” The great monk was tearing an Orlean chicken wing, and smilingly said, “I hope that you can properly treat this book.”
Qin Chao could not understand why such a great monk, who has the bearing of a Buddha, would do such an outrageous thing. Qin Chao properly received that outrageously marked up Diamond Heart Sutra book, and then asked.
“What should I call you, Master?”
“This poor monk’s Buddhist name is Shifang (Release).”
(TL: it can also be translated as “Poor monk refused to release.” As in release his human’s desire)
“Pfft!” The coke that was still in Qin Chao’s mouth erupted and sprayed out toward that great monk’s head.
Master Shifang didn’t take it to heart. He chuckled and then wiped the coke on his head with the tissue.
“Why benefactor is so surprised? Controlling one own’s desire, which are: not pleased by external gains and not saddened by personal losses. This is the realm of great accomplishment.”
“Master’s lessons are?” Qin Chao thought that this eccentric monk was still reasonable, but he’s still somewhat puzzled.
“Master, why did you choose your Buddhist name to be so, wouldn’t that undermine the dignity of Buddha?”
“Benefactor.” Shifang clasped his palms together and said, “The dignity of the Buddha is not in someone’s Buddhist name, but in the heart of this poor monk and you.”
Although Shifang did things outrageously, his words were full of Buddhist allegories. The more Qin Chao thought, the more elusive this Shifang was. Therefore, he curiously asked.
“Could master tell me from which Monastery did master come from?”
“The Buddha said, it cannot be said, it cannot be said.” Shifang shook his head and said, “Benefactor and poor monk are destined to meet today. In the future, you will surely know it.”
After that, he suddenly got up, straightened his cassock, and then said to Qin Chao.
“Benefactor, poor monk will have to continue asking for alms from other people; goodbye for now. I hope that after benefactor goes back, benefactor will take a look at the Diamond Sutra; Perhaps it will give benefactor some help.”
Before leaving, he suddenly added a sentence.
“Benefactor, your visit to Dongchuan City this time, fortune and misfortune depend on each other. When you encounter difficulty, you must consider this.”
After leaving an elusive sentence to Qin Chao, Shifang took two steps outside, suddenly came back, and smilingly looked at Qin Chao.
“Master, do you still have some words for me?”
“Benefactor, don’t reject this poor monk’s incessant talk.” Shifang slowly said, “There is a sentence that is very important, which poor monk must explain to you.”
“Oh? Master, please say!”
“Remember the meal’s bill. Just give it to my female disciple, that would be fine.” With that, the master finally drifted away, leaving the silly Qin Chao frozen behind.
It turned out, the important words were this.
Qin Chao had no option but to stand up and went after Shifang’s disciple.
This girl dressed in a KFC employee uniform. She enchantingly stood in front of the counter while being busy with the cash register. At this time, Qin Chao paid attention to this girl and found she was very young. Her body was permeated with a youthful scent. She had a standard oval face with tender beauty. Especially the ponytail behind her head that she playfully threw around in such a youthful manner.
On her body, her chest is the most exaggerated one. From Qin Chao’s visual inspection, he estimated that her chest size is, at least, an E! Her KFC uniform appeared to be full. Especially her ample chest, which almost made her uniform split open.
The several boys on the line looked silly. Their girlfriend next to them pinched their waist, waking them up.
“Sir, what do you need?” Her voice is also quite sweet. Although not on the level of Su Ji and Su Fei, her voice was also particularly comfortable to hear.
“I’m here to pay the bill…” Because he was accustomed to seeing beautiful women, Qin Chao was nonchalant when he talked to her.
“Ah, you’re my Master’s friend.” The little miss smiled; a smile that makes people’s mind ripple. The several boys around her gave their silly look. They couldn’t even remember what to buy. There was even a guy who blurted out “two steamed stuffed bun” as his order.
“You’re still here!” The little miss smiled again, which revealed her two lovable small canine teeth, making the several boys, once again, looked stupid.
Qin Chao also felt that his heart beat a bit faster. The innocent beauty of this young girl makes other people’s heart can’t help but moved.
“Wait for me first. I’ll look for you after this is over.”
Qin Chao didn’t worry that he will spend his time waiting for her. In any case, his employer is Liao Dongkai, and he was also a little conflicted about working as Liao Shasha’s bodyguard.
Since he has missed their scheduled meeting, he can simply continue to go wrong.
At noon, the people in KFC are particularly many. When Qin Chao returned to his seat, he found that the food was already taken away and in his place sat a loving couple. The girl was sitting on the boy’s leg while they were mutually feeding french fries to each other.
Qin Chao has no option but to shrug his shoulders. The restaurant doesn’t have a spare seat, so, he could only stand in front of the toilet, waiting for the young beauty.
Just then, there was a short, middle-aged man, who was ready to go to the bathroom. When he looked up and saw Qin Chao stood before the toilet, he immediately gawked.
“Big brother, are you charging the people who are going to the toilet?”
“Ah, no charge, no charge!” Qin Chao hastily gave the other people an opening. His heart was depressed. He castigated himself for not being able to act like other people. If other people were in his shoes, they would try to quietly sneak off and not paying for the meal.
“Hey, I’ve been looking for you everywhere. It turned out you’re here guarding the door.” Just when he was daydreaming, the young girl has arrived before him, “I’m really sorry for making you wait for so long, this hour tends to be busy.”
This time, the young beauty has put on a regular student uniform. But it still could not cover up her graceful figure. Especially the pigtail behind her head, which makes her look energetic.
“It’s okay. I’m quite idle actually.” Qin Chao hastily beckoned with his hand, “Paying for the food is right and proper.”
“No need.” The little miss quickly said, “This is just a small matter. How could I take your money? Just consider it as a filial piety from the disciple to her Master. I already am very happy when Master came here to eat.”
“This can’t be good.” Qin Chao asked, “You appeared to be a student who works part time. It is not easy to earn money, how could I make you pay for it?”
After saying that, without any explanation, he put a hundred yuan bill into the little beauty’s hand. In any case, the monk came to this place because of his cause, he reasoned.
“Thank….thank you….” The young girl’s face was somewhat red. It seemed like her family is not well-off. Otherwise, she didn’t need to come here for work.
“But, honestly, I’m very curious. How could you know Shifang….em, Master Shifang….” Qin Chao asked.
“My name is Wu Xin, a student of Tianhua high school. I use my free lunch time to work at KFC, which was when I met my Master.” Speaking about her unscrupulous Master, Wu Xin appeared to be very happy.
“Talking about my Master, he is indeed an eccentric man. Even though some of his works were not quite reasonable, his speech is very accurate. Moreover, he will tell other people their fortune. The people around here always want him to tell their fortune because it’s very accurate.”
“Fortune teller?” Qin Chao was curious about this, thinking, ‘The words that Master Shifang left for him, is it true?’
“Of course, my Master is a very amazing person.” Wu Xin’s eyes glittered with rays of worship, and said to Qin Chao, “He also taught me some mnemonics that I often read. It makes my body comfortable and my brain easier to use. Before this, my exams result were not very good. But now, I can study easily.”
“….Are you trying to advertise for him….” Qin Chao grew silent. He suddenly understood. He thought, ‘Is this Shifang a cultivator?’ He remembered about the Diamond Heart Sutra, ‘When I find a place, I have to take a good look at it. Perhaps, there really is something useful in there!’
“Oh, not good! I spent my time talking with you here. I’m going to miss the bus!”
The little miss Wu Xin loudly exclaimed, and clutched her small mouth. The small rabbit in front of her chest also shook. Qin Chao’s mind was quite shaken, secretly thinking, ‘this E size chest is extraordinary.’
Qin Chao also happens to look for a taxi, so, he went out of the KFC with Wu Xin. At this time, the public bus happens to drive out from the nearby bus shelter, making Wu Xin immediately exclaimed.
“Oh, no! I missed the bus. I’m going to be late!”
“Don’t worry. You’re not going to be late.” Qin Chao patted Wu Xin on the shoulder, making the young beauty’s chest shook. When she turned around, she saw Qin Chao was on top of an old black bicycle and couldn’t help but asked in surprise.
“Where’d you get that bike?”
“I brought it with me!” Qin Chao couldn’t tell her that he summoned the bike from his storage ring. He patted the back seat and said, “Hop in, I guarantee you’ll arrive at school on time as usual!”
“Really?” Wu Xin doubtfully asked and gently sat on the back seat and then put her hands on his shoulders, “Can a bicycle able to overtake the public bus?”
“You will know soon!” Qin Chao gave his bike a glance, “Go!”
Suddenly, like a rocket, Wu Xin felt the inertia and nearly fell down from the vehicle. She screamed and quickly hugged Qin Chao’s waist tightly from the back.
The feeling of the enormous E size breast made Qin Chao’s feet can’t help but shudder a bit; The vehicle almost fell down.
But he quickly steadied the handle and continued, with lightning speed, to pursue the public bus in front of them.
The bus driver was startled. After driving for many years, this was the first time he saw a man who rode a bicycle so fast.
“Damn! You want to race with me!” Although he has been a bus driver for a long time, racing was always in his bone. Seeing the bicycle, that was pedalled by Qin Chao, firmly closing on him, his proud self-esteem took a hit.
So, this man secretly increased his speed, trying to shake off that arrogant kid who dared to race with a bus driver.
Who knew, that kid seemed like a maggot that attached to the bone, he can’t get rid of him.
“You ride so fast!” Wu Xin felt that her mouth was filled with winds. She has always been a good girl. But now she suddenly felt very excited and excitedly yelled.
“This is nothing.” Qin Chao laughed and said, “If I don’t follow this bus, my speed can be faster!”
“You’re so amazing! No wonder Master wanted to eat with you!”
“What? Master Shifang rarely eat with other people?”
“Of course, people who can eat with Master, are awesome!”
