Chapter 488: Chapter 232: Family’s Secret Techniques

"Chen Jieyuan, you’ve saved my face after all."

From afar, Governor Gao Chang watched the scene unfold with a hint of delight, smiling as he said, "He indeed did not kill people in my royal carriage. If his brow did not harbor so many demons, he would be worth befriending."

He had heard many legends about Chen Shi from the Gao Family, and he deeply understood Chen Shi’s way of doing things.

Gao Chang’s gaze fell on Saintess Xuan lying on the ground, and he shook his head lightly, whispering, "Son is a taboo, but Chen Shi is also a taboo. Even if you are the Bodhi Dojo’s saintess, you can’t insult Chen Shi and make him join the son. Saintess Xuan is still too young; no wonder she cannot compete with the other women by the son’s side."

He did not go to heal Saintess Xuan but turned and walked away.

"Young people must suffer some losses to grow!"

Saintess Xuan lay on the sickbed, her eyes wide open. Her normally lively eyes were now somewhat listless, staring blankly upward, neither speaking nor moving.

After a while, she caught her breath, closed her eyes, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

It was Baili Mu and others who had carried her back to the Banshan Sect from the Hua Gai shop.

She had been knocked unconscious by Chen Shi, lying outside the shop. The kind shopkeeper had covered her with a piece of clothing to prevent exposure and had someone watch over her to prevent city beggars from carrying her into an alley and causing trouble.

After receiving the news, Baili Mu hurried over and, only because he was familiar with Saintess Xuan, could he recognize that the unrecognizable woman lying on the ground was the beautiful Saintess Xuan.

After identifying her, he quickly had her carried to the entrance of the Banshan Sect and had someone call for a doctor. By then, Saintess Xuan had regained consciousness.

Chen Shi first knee-struck her in the lower abdomen, causing her to gasp for air and mix up the Qi-Blood in her body, losing control of her True Qi.

When she was about to deploy her Nascent Soul, Chen Shi swung the Hua Gai pole and struck. The Hua Gai pole, branded with many talismans, was a defensive treasure. Whether by coincidence or intention, Chen Shi’s first strike hit right at her occipital protuberance, sending her about-to-fly shrine back inside!

His second strike was even more fortuitous, hitting the fontanelle on the top of her head, severing the position for her Nascent Soul Emergence.

Then he mercilessly swung the pole again.

He swung the pole so hard that it split and even broke!

With every strike, the various talismans on the Hua Gai pole exploded, indicating how forceful his blows were!

After inspecting, Baili Mu saw that Saintess Xuan mostly had superficial wounds; nothing serious. The Bodhi Dojo’s cultivation technique was exceptionally profound, and Master Miao Yin was the chief among them. Although Saintess Xuan was not yet sixteen, she had mastered significant skills, making it difficult to breach her golden body.

Moreover, although Chen Shi struck harshly, he was precise and did not aim for lethal spots.

But her tears continued to flow.

In her life, she had never been beaten so severely.

Ever since she left the mountain, all the young talents she met were either polite, full of heroic spirit, gentle and refined, or profoundly talented with grand aspirations.

None were like Chen Shi, who hit without a word, and even after beating, still kicked her twice!

Before she descended from the mountain, her master, Master Miao Yin, told her, "The flesh is mere appearance, not the essence; it’s just a stinking bag. But people are ignorant, they pursue appearance, forgetting the essence. You were born with a good appearance; men will be attracted to it and offer conveniences. You can use these appearances to achieve your goals.

Use the appearance wisely, transcend it, and ultimately attain the formless."

This was one of her goals for descending the mountain.

Yet, in front of Chen Shi, her appearance was utterly useless!

When he hit her, he showed no mercy.

Even if Buddha himself had moments of ignorance and anger, how much more so for her who is not a Buddha?

"I wholeheartedly want the best for you, for your future, which is why I sought to turn enmity into friendship with the son! My good intentions were repaid with a beating!"

Saintess Xuan clenched her teeth, sat up, and touched the back of her head where it was swollen, the bruising blocking her energy points, preventing her shrine from manifesting. She then touched the top of her head where the fontanelle was similarly affected, fueling her anger even more.

From a young age, she practiced Buddhist Law and received the top teachings of the Bodhi Dojo, mastering significant skills and standing out among her generation.

In the Nascent Soul Realm, her strength was much greater than that of members from a sect like Banshan Sect. Her cultivation was robust, her skills in spells were exquisite, and her talisman treasures and talismanic weapons far surpassed theirs!

But she had no chance to fight back before being overwhelmingly beaten by Chen Shi!

If it had been a fair fight, being beaten by Chen Shi was one thing, but she couldn’t even fight back before being beaten into unconsciousness, leaving her feeling incredibly stifled.

This was not only an insult to her but to the heritage of the Bodhi Dojo!

Baili Mu said, "Rest assured, Saintess, with both new and old grievances, our Banshan Sect will certainly settle scores with Chen Shi! I have already had people tracking Chen Shi, and as soon as he leaves the city, beyond a hundred miles from the royal carriage, we will strike immediately!"

Saintess Xuan struggled out of bed, gritting her teeth, "I will go with you!"

Baili Mu smiled and said, "Saintess, focus on healing. Injuries to the heavenly gate and jade pillow are no small matter, not to mention..."

He did not continue, but the strike from Chen Shi’s knee into Saintess Xuan’s abdomen was fierce, scattering her Qi-Blood and also dispersing her Primordial Yin Qi. The location of the injury was somewhat private, and he refrained from asking more.

Saintess Xuan indeed couldn’t act, saying, "My Nascent Soul cannot emerge, and my shrine cannot fly out either."
