Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Fine. Chi Shuyan was a bit disappointed that she couldn’t shake him off, but when she thought of the situation in the village, she picked herself up and stopped thinking about it.

The village was average in size, and the temple wasn’t far away. Chi Shuyan didn’t walk for long before she saw the temple in the distance.

Compared with the blue brick houses in the village, this temple could be said to be quite luxurious, and it also shouldn’t be too bad inside.

Looking at the temple, she understood the village’s reverence and respect for it. Otherwise, in a village where everyone only lived in blue brick houses, how could a temple be built up to this level?

Chi Shuyan also realized that there were a lot of people at the temple at that moment. Many villagers carried baskets filled with incense and firecrackers as they walked through the main gate and worshiped outside the temple with devout expressions.

!!

Almost everyone was knocking their heads on the ground, but Chi Shuyan didn’t lament at the sound. She saw the villagers go in one by one to pay their respects. Almost everyone kowtowed until their heads turned blue, and they looked at the temple with obsessed and devout expressions. Chi Shuyan only felt her blood run cold.

On the side, Qi Zhenbai also sensed something wasn’t right. He frowned slightly and his eyes fell on the temple in the distance with a pensive and profound expression.

Chi Shuyan originally wanted to go in, but the villagers who came out stopped her. Only then did she learn that those who could enter had to be devout believers of the Buddha statue in the temple, and had to bring incense and firecrackers before they could enter.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t see anything from the gate. She stood there for a while, then looked at the man next to her before they went back the way they had come.

They returned to where Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were staying. This was an empty house which the village chief had specially arranged for them. It had three rooms, a small living room, and a kitchen. There was also a toilet in the small yard outside. Apart from the fact that the house looked old from the outside, it actually had all the essentials inside. It was pretty good to stay here.

It seemed some families in the village moved away for work, so there were many empty houses where outsiders could stay when they came.

Chi Shuyan didn’t intend to stay too far away from Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan. Besides, there was something strange about this village, so it was better to stay with people she was familiar with. So, the four of them stayed in this small house.

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming cooked dinner – how could they dare let the Qi family member do it? As for Master Chi, her abilities aside, she was a young lady, so naturally, they couldn’t let her do it.

Although Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were both rough men, they still had some skills in cooking. Seeing Master Chi and President Qi come back, the two hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, the food will be ready soon! Are you hungry?”

Chi Shuyan took in their cautious expressions and couldn’t help but laugh. However, looking at their cautious expressions and attitude toward Qi Zhenbai, Chi Shuyan was relieved.

Although this man usually spoke very little, he had an innately oppressive aura that made the people around him subconsciously feel nervous and cold. Nothing could be done about that.

Chi Shuyan was about to help set the table, but the man next to her beat her to it. Chi Shuyan was stumped. Whenever she was about to do something, she realized that the man was always one step ahead of her.

In the end, Chi Shuyan could only idle around. Feeling a little embarrassed, she could only say, “Sorry to trouble you. I’ll make breakfast tomorrow!”

Even when she said this, she didn’t have much confidence. She really wasn’t good at cooking. She really wanted to bring Chef Li over to directly solve the problem, but it wasn’t realistic to bring him along. There were too few ingredients here, and Chef Li couldn’t make any delicacies.

Chi Shuyan wasn’t picky, nor did she have the right to be. To be honest, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming’s home cooking tasted pretty good, and she ate with relish.

It was just that what made her feel helpless was that a certain man beside her kept putting food into her bowl. Her bowl was filled with food. There weren’t a lot of dishes to begin with, so it wasn’t good to put too much in her bowl. Even when her bowl was full, this man kept putting food into it in front of Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming. Chi Shuyan was speechless.

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming smiled meaningfully, but Chi Shuyan didn’t want to give them the wrong idea. She tilted her head and occasionally met the man’s eyes as she found a few reasons to tell him not to pick up any more food for her.

The man replied calmly, but in the next second, he picked up food for her again.

Chi Shuyan was speechless!

Fortunately, not long after the meal, Da Qing came over to tell them when they could go to the temple. They could invite the Buddha statue into the house to worship it properly, and the True Buddha would bless them.

Da Qing was from the village and was far more devout to the Buddha statue in the village than they could imagine. As he spoke, he looked completely obsessed and in awe, as if there was nothing the True Buddha couldn’t do.

Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and probed, “Must everyone invite the Buddha over? Can you choose not to?”

As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, Da Qing immediately looked at her in disbelief, as if she were a heinous sinner. Chi Shuyan choked at his gaze; it also made her even more aware of the status of this black Buddha statue in this village. Da Qing advised earnestly, “You should invite the True Buddha Lord to bless you. Those who disrespect and don’t believe in the True Buddha Lord won’t have a good ending!”

Da Qing’s words caught all their attention. Da Qing raised his eyes and took a few more looks at Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming. Maybe it was because they had been getting along, but he specially said, “Brother Xiao, Brother Wu, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain if you invite the True Buddha into your house. Some people didn’t believe in the True Buddha before, but later on, they all…”

Who knew if Da Qing realized that he had said too much, but he immediately shut up, before he repeated, “Brother Xiao, Brother Wu, there is nothing to lose by inviting the True Buddha into your house. Think about it!”
