Abbot Wuxin paused upon hearing this, guessed what was being implied, and smiled without speaking.
"Abbot, I can not only copy texts, but I also have a photographic memory. Back in the Scripture Pavilion, I read both the ’Marrow-Cleansing Sutra’ and the ’Tendon-Altering Sutra.’ When I went to Nanjiang, I taught them to my brother Tianci!"
As Yun Jinnian spoke, he lowered his head.
Abbot Wuxin’s smile grew even more warm and kind, "Hmm, the old monk understands!"
Yun Jinnian was astonished. Shouldn’t there be a few words of reprimand?
"It’s a trivial matter. Considering that your brother could grasp the ’Tendon-Altering Sutra’ and the ’Marrow-Cleansing Sutra,’ his natural talent must be good. Whenever you can, bring him to Huguo Temple, and I will accept him as a lay disciple. No matter what Martial Arts he’s learned, it won’t matter then!"
As Abbot Wuxin spoke, he poured out a medicinal pill and sniffed it.
The rich fragrance of the Snow Lotus was lingering and unforgettable, "Good, very good!"
Abbot Wuxin didn’t blame him, probably because of the Blood Lotus!
But no matter what, she was the one at fault first.
"Abbot, are there any other sutras that you need me to copy?" Yun Jinnian asked.
Abbot Wuxin shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "There’s nothing that needs repairing. However, I do have a book here that’s many years old, seemingly a Martial Arts Manuscript, but it’s missing a few pages. Take it and see if you can complete it or find the latter volume!"
He could not practice external martial skills, so keeping it was of no use to him, might as well give it to Yun Jinnian.
"Thank you, Abbot!" Yun Jinnian quickly stood up to pay his respects.
She might not need it, but Chu Yu and Tianci could make use of it.
Abbot Wuxin chuckled, "Silly child, if you’re free in the next few days, come and recite sutras with this old monk!"
After leaving the Dharma Academy, Yun Jinnian went to have dinner with Chu Yu, took his pulse, watched him take his medicine, and then returned to her meditation cell to rest.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yunshen had Teng Fei secretly scout the monastery at night, only to be ambushed by Yun Jinnian’s four Hidden Guards and wounded!
"Hemei, what happened?" Yun Jinnian sat up, groggily asking.
"Miss, it’s that guard from Master Zhou’s side; he was injured by Dahan and the others!"
Out of the twenty-four solar terms, twenty went out, leaving four to covertly protect Yun Jinnian. Though Teng Fei was formidable, these twenty-four people were personally trained by the Honorable Law-Master, and while they might be simple-minded, their skills were top-notch.
Even one-on-one, Teng Fei might not have an advantage, let alone four against one.
"Tell him to go back, I’ll go check on his master’s pulse tomorrow!" Yun Jinnian said and then lay down again.
If a person’s heart goes astray, it usually veers off significantly.
Henuan promptly left to persuade Teng Fei to leave.
Teng Fei returned to Zhou Yunshen’s side, hesitating about how to begin.
How should he say it? He could tell that Miss Yun didn’t take his master seriously at all.
Zhou Yunshen’s voice was faint as he closed his eyes.
There was nothing that needed to be said; he already knew everything.
Teng Fei withdrew, somewhat worried for Zhou Yunshen.
Being accustomed to high status, suddenly encountering someone who did not like him, he might find it hard to accept.
After Teng Fei had left, Zhou Yunshen spoke softly after a while, "What should I do with you?"
He wanted her person, and he wanted her heart, too.
So this time, no matter what means he used, he had to bring her back to Great Zhou Kingdom.
Be it a concubine or the Crown Princess Consort, if he loved her, even a mere palace concubine would be the most noble in Great Zhou Kingdom.
If he did not love her, what good was it to be the Crown Princess Consort? It was nothing but an empty title.
