Chapter 578 He didn’t call for you.
Su Wan was not at all flustered even though she was surrounded by four men who kept shouting at this and that until no one dared to get close to her but unlike her, the Lin brothers were dying of thirst, they have shouted all the while climbing the stairs and now their mouth was as dry as a desert.” Look at you, only fifty-one stairs and you are huffing like this. Look at me, I am twice your age and I haven’t even broken a sweat,” said Shen Junxi as he climbed up the rest of the stairs and exhaled heavily.
” Don’t give the boys a hard time,” chided Madam Zhu as she handed the Lin brothers a water pouch that was full of cold river water. ” Here take this, you all have worked hard.”
Of course, they have, they have been shouting for the entire time.
However, even though they were thirsty they still handed it to Su Wan first, who shook her head. She wasn’t thirsty and most importantly, she would have to go to the restroom if she were to drink too much water in this desolate temple which was situated on the outskirts of the town. Where the hell will she get a place to relieve herself?
Lin Chen saw that she didn’t want to drink the water, so he took drank a mouthful of water before he handed it to his brothers who one by one took turns and drank some water to quench their thirst and after they were done they returned the water pouch to Eldest aunt who only took a sip and then slipped the water pouch in the big bag she was carrying over her shoulder.
The monk who was standing outside the temple patiently waited for them to finish before he asked them to take off their shoes and anything that could be considered dangerous. Which practically meant that he had them take off everything that they were carrying with them, only then did he take them to the inside of the temple where the Old master was resting.
And to their surprise, the group realised that they have been aligned with Old madam Shen and Ji Shan’s duo. The two were kneeling on the floor slowly grinding the incense and pouring it into the incense burner, Su Wan didn’t know who told them to do that or maybe they were doing it out of their own convenience because the old master behind the curtain of beads wasn’t saying anything, in fact, it seemed as if he was sleeping.
” Ah benefactor, you haven’t left yet?” The monk who was guiding their group asked in surprise, he didn’t know why the two women hasn’t left yet after all the old master hasn’t said anything since the two came inside, in fact, it was quite clear that he didn’t want to bless the girl who came with the old madam but the old madam was insistent. The monk sighed and then walked towards old madam Shen as he held out his hand for old madam to take, ” Old madam, you don’t need to do such things, alright? The master is omnipresent he knows all,” glancing at the girl next to the Old madam the monk shook his head, with those unclean eyes, it was no surprise that the old master wasn’t willing to give this girl his blessing, if it was him, he too wouldn’t have wasted his breath on this girl.
Just look at those scheming eyes, she was not a simple girl. Even now he could see the anger that she was trying to suppress, how hard it was for her to understand that the Old master wasn’t some vagabond who roamed in the streets of the cities? He was someone whom even the Emperor respected, it was his right to decide whether he wanted to bless someone or not —— and more importantly, this thing wasn’t even organised by the old master, the patrons turned up on their own.
It was him who was doing a favour by giving the patrons his time, not the other way around, so how can this girl act as if she was the one who was doing a favour to the old master?
Old madam frowned, she couldn’t understand why everyone disliked Ji Shan, this poor girl hasn’t even said anything but when she thought about the fame of this old master she couldn’t help but doubt Ji Shan was there anything wrong with her? Just as this thought came to her mind, she turned her head around and looked at Ji Shan who immediately lowered her head and sniffed pitifully.
Though she was putting on a pitiful performance on the outside, she was actually really unhappy with what was going on. Damn this old man, was it too hard for him to open his mouth and say a few kind words to her? Just how hard was it? Who was he showing his attitude to, huh?
Just as she was going to start cursing, the old master’s voice came from behind the curtain. ” Little girl come here.”
Listening to his croaky voice, Ji Shan heaved a sigh of relief. Looks like that old man really fell asleep and wasn’t ignoring her, with a smile that was as charming as the witch ready to pounce at her next victim, she stood up from her spot and then made way towards the old master’s chamber but just as she walked over —— she was stopped by the old monk who raised his hand stopping her in the middle.
” What are you stopping me for? What do you mean by this?” asked Ji Shan indignantly as she glared at the monk but the latter didn’t budge and simply said, ” The old master didn’t ask for you, he was asking for the young lady who is standing there.” He pointed at Su Wan who was standing next to Lin Yan and Shen Junxi.
Ji Shan turned her head to glare at the ‘young lady’ but then she saw Su Wan and her face turned pale. This woman again!
