Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Mother, I miss you so much...
On the outskirts of an unnamed small town, Three Mile Hill.
Due to Su Pan’er’s arrangements made two days ago to exchange hostages at Three Mile Hill, for the past two days, many people had been lying in ambush near the hill, both openly and in secret.
Many had been waiting at this spot since early on, but even as noon had passed, there was still no sign of the other party, and everyone was getting anxious!
That day, Su Pan’er hadn’t specified the exact time for the hostage exchange. Although people wanted to leave, they feared the other party might arrive later. Given the large number of operatives they had deployed, everybody had no choice but to wait patiently.
But instead of the awaited individuals, they received a message from those left in charge at the City Lord’s Mansion.
"The General is currently inside the City Lord’s Mansion, as is Miss Cousin."
Weren’t they supposed to come for the ransom?
Why did they go to the General’s Mansion!
Only then did everyone realize they had been deceived and hurried back to the City Lord’s Mansion in a rush, only to encounter a group of troops that suddenly appeared!
At that moment in the City Lord’s Mansion, Su Pan’er was still clutching her chest, with blood seeping out from between her fingers, forming dark red stains that were already starting to dry.
Jun Ruochen’s eyes were lifeless as he lifted his hand and pointed towards the house he had originally brought Su Pan’er into.
"Your daughter is inside there."
"Here?"
Su Pan’er was surprised!
When she had initially stormed into the City Lord’s Mansion and was discovered by Jun Ruochen, she was taken into this house. Afterwards, she had checked the place several times and found nothing.
Seeing no change in Jun Ruochen’s expression, she expanded her Mental Power once more, extending her consciousness from within her body, slowly covering the entire house and thoroughly searching several times. Still, she found nothing.
"Jun Ruochen, are you bluffing me?"
"Heh..."
Jun Ruochen gave a bitter laugh but said no more. Instead, he casually picked a leaf from the flower stage next to him, put it in his mouth, and blew a whistle...
Su Pan’er’s expression changed instantly, and she turned back to look!
Suddenly there was a loud bang from the house they had been looking at before, followed by billowing dust!
Once the dust had settled, an Old Monk appeared at the doorway, leading a little girl!
"Mommy! Mommy... Little Yanyan missed you so much..."
As soon as Little Yanyan saw her, she broke away from the Old Monk and threw herself into Su Pan’er’s arms.
Su Pan’er held her daughter, who she had regained, tightly, unable to keep back the tears that slipped from her eyes, and dared not let go.
"Yan Yan, Yan Yan, my good baby!"
"Yanyan knew mommy would come rescue Little Yanyan, hee hee!"
Little Yanyan laughed happily, lifted her head to kiss Su Pan’er’s face once, and then again, all the while giggling cheerfully, full of life.
Seeing her daughter so lively comforted Su Pan’er. She quickly wiped the tears from her face and examined Little Yanyan from head to toe without stopping.
"Quick, let mommy have a look, has my Yanyan been mistreated? Are you hurt?"
"No, Mommy."
Little Yanyan chatteringly went on non-stop: "Aunt Wu is always busy with traveling, and although she doesn’t like me, she didn’t starve me. Uncle Ye was nice to me too; he let me call him ’cousin uncle’! And the master, he was even nicer, he told me lots and lots of stories! Hee hee..."
The master?
Su Pan’er suddenly remembered that there was another person here!
She turned around hastily, and sure enough, she saw the Old Monk still standing at the doorway, her expression immediately turning grave. Suspicion filled her eyes.
"Liao Jue, it’s been a long time!"
The Old Monk standing at the entrance, if not the Bald Donkey Liao Jue, then who else could it be?
She had seen the Old Monk Liao Jue several times before, but not once was it without heart-pounding fear! Perhaps, there was indeed a "fated" bond between her and this Bald Donkey Liao Jue!
Then she had a sudden realization.
No wonder she always felt Little Yanyan was in the City Lord’s Mansion, and no wonder she could never find her no matter how hard she looked!
This Bald Donkey Liao Jue, with his Internal Skill Accomplishment far above hers, would indeed find it easy to protect Little Yanyan without letting her know.
"Amitabha Buddha! Lady Benefactor, it has been a long time!"
Liao Jue greeted her with a salutation, then slowly walked forward, scrutinizing her: "Lady Benefactor, lay down the butcher’s knife and you will become a Buddha on the spot. Right now, the vile air is increasingly thick upon you. Please, Lady Benefactor, turn back sooner rather than later, do not add to the killing!"
"How truly laughable!"
Su Pan’er moved Little Yanyan behind her: "You, a monk, unexpectedly meddle in the secular world, and even here you repeatedly tell others to lay down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha on the spot? What killing have I wrought? Why do you not say that those who died by my hand were fated to encounter this calamity?"
Liao Jue’s eyebrows twitched, and he chanted anew, "Amitabha Buddha. Lady Benefactor, everything in the world has Divine Will. Yet you insist on going against the heavens, like a fish that jumps out of the River of Destiny! Causing devastation to all living beings, how can you bear that in your heart?"
"Spare me!"
They say a mother lion protecting her cubs is the most ferocious, and right now Su Pan’er was bristling with thorns all over, determined to tear into shreds anyone who dared to stand in her way!
"The Buddha says: Humans have no inherent good or evil; good and evil lie within one’s heart. You assist the wicked and even hold my child, who is not yet five years old, hostage, how can you bear that in your heart?"
"You say those people did not deserve to die, yet how do you know the saying, ’Man can conquer destiny’?"
"How do you know which path is the true course of the River of Destiny? Perhaps, the river you believe to be true is the mistaken one, and I am the key to correcting the course of the river?"
"Tell me, speak up! How could you know?’
Su Pan’er’s anger reached its peak when she thought about how she had almost failed to protect her daughter!
All her rage was vented continuously against the Bald Donkey Liao Jue. In the end, she even laughed, "Indeed, such so-called accomplished monks like you naturally pity the world, treating lives as a joke, for others’ well-being, right! A bunch of hypocrites cloaked in righteousness and morality! Pah!"
Despite being berated like this, the Old Monk Liao Jue did not even flutter an eyelid!
"Amitabha Buddha, Lady Benefactor is certainly eloquent. Plant such causes, reap such effects; everything is created by the mind. The reason this poor monk has descended the mountain this time is precisely for you, Benefactor! Seeing someone on the path, helping them towards joy and goodness brings great blessings. Benefactor, please do not continue to be deluded!"
"..."
Su Pan’er was amused by the Old Bald Donkey’s words!
If it weren’t for considering the Old Monk’s capabilities, why would she bother arguing here, she would have taken action long ago!
"What if I am determined to remain deluded?"
Liao Jue put his hands together and quietly recited the Heart Sutra, his face still carrying a gentle smile, yet the words he spoke were exceptionally chilling.
"Then, this old monk will have to take offense!"
As he finished speaking, Su Pan’er’s face changed drastically! This was bad! The Bald Donkey was about to make his move!
Instinctively, she wanted to retreat but suddenly felt as if her whole body was immobilized, unable to even inch forward!
Yet, the Bald Donkey’s index finger suddenly lifted, pointing towards Su Pan’er’s forehead...
