"I annotate Buddhist scriptures, I annotate Buddhist scriptures! What a great courage!"

Just as the master and apprentice were discussing Taoism and expressing their thoughts, a female voice that was not loud suddenly came from outside the door.

The next moment, a young woman in white clothes, who looked to be in her early twenties, opened the door of the hall and stepped into the Buddhist hall.

This person was none other than the woman who spied on Pei Wende and Zen Master Lingyou at the top of Mount Wei.

But compared to her appearance a month ago, this woman in plain clothes and white gauze has now completely lost her girlish makeup, replaced by a mature, coquettish beauty.

And judging from her words and deeds, this woman in plain clothes and white gauze seems to be different from the previous girl.

At the very least, the woman at this moment does not have the gentleness and indifference of her teenage years, but only the arrogance and willfulness of a spoiled wealthy daughter.

"If people from other temples heard your remarks, I'm afraid you might consider running away now."

In fact, not only the monks from other temples, but also the government officials would probably immediately arrest Hui Ji as a "treason" after knowing his thoughts.

Because it is well known that the Holy Father hates monks, and a monk who intends to interfere with politics is his key target.

"Amitabha!"

Not being frightened by the woman, Zen Master Lingyou spoke very calmly, as if receiving a long-lost guest.

"This conversation was just a casual conversation between my master and my apprentice. It cannot be taken seriously."

"And I also believe that the female donor will not spread these words to outsiders..."

"After all, you are here to fulfill your wish, so you won't cause too much trouble."

She curled her lips in disdain, but the woman with a more self-centered personality did not continue to struggle with this issue.

"Don't call me benefactor, I hate it."

Just like everyone who respects and worships Buddha, the woman in plain clothes and white gauze continued to speak after offering a stick of incense to Sakyamuni Buddha in the main hall.

"If it hadn't been for my father's insistence, I wouldn't have come to a remote place like Tanzhou to worship Buddha."

"So you can just call me Pei Hui!"

"Anyway, I'll leave in two days, and I'll take my useless brother with me."

The sun is rising high and it's approaching noon.

When Pei Wende finished his morning classes and carried two buckets of water from the back mountain back to Tongqing Temple, he immediately saw the pile of luggage and items placed in the center of the courtyard.

Then, the second thing Pei Wende saw was Pei Hui standing nearby directing Hui Ji to move things.

Judging from Hui Ji's expression, he was obviously unwilling to listen to Pei Hui's instructions.

But the other party had no choice but to control her, and with Zen Master Lingyou's advance instructions, Huiji had no choice but to temporarily act as a porter.

In this way, Huiji still had to endure some of Pei Hui's unreasonable demands from time to time. He thought he was cultivating his mind and nature.

"Is there a visitor to our temple?"

Before Hui Ji and Pei Hui noticed him, Pei Wende put down the two buckets of water he was carrying and looked at everything happening in the yard in surprise.

Or to be more precise, Pei Wende was looking at the woman in plain clothes and white gauze.

It has been sixteen years since Pei Wende traveled to this world, and this is the first time he has seen a woman as mature as Pei Hui, with a strong imperial sister style.

Even Li Yanran, whom she met at Mulian Temple before, still retains the intellectual uniqueness of women of this era.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

No one needed to remind him, Pei Wende knew that the woman in plain clothes and white gauze in front of him was definitely not an ordinary rich girl.

"My name is Pei Hui, and I am a pilgrim temporarily staying in this temple."

The moment she saw Pei Wende, Pei Hui unexpectedly lost the aggressive aura she had before.

Just looking at the two buckets of water at Pei Wende's feet, she frowned slightly without any trace, and then walked up to him in a few steps and asked.

"Do you carry water like this every day?"

"Well……"

For a moment, he was a little unclear about the background of the woman in front of him, so Pei Wende could only nod along with the other person's topic.

"Yes, I carry water like this every day."

Hearing this, Pei Hui frowned again, and this time it was very obvious.

"You carry water like this every day, aren't you tired?"

As soon as this inexplicable question was asked, Pei Wende, who was already a little confused, became even more confused.

"Is it okay? I only choose this trip every day. It's just for exercise."

Out of a subtle instinct, Pei Wende felt that the woman in front of him seemed to have some displeasure because of his answer.

"Then starting from today, you don't have to carry water anymore."

Turning around unceremoniously and pointing at Hui Ji who was also stunned behind him, Pei Hui said without any hesitation.

"From now on, the task of carrying water every day will be handed over to that guy. You just need to be responsible and follow me."

"Amitabha!"

Also aware of the farce happening outside, Zen Master Lingyou, who was sitting cross-legged in front of Sakyamuni Buddha, showed a wry smile.

"Pei Xiu, Pei Xiu, you have thrown me into big trouble again this time."

Zen Master Lingyou had long seen that Pei Hui's nature was not as unruly as she appeared.

The reason why she showed such an arrogant attitude was not only to vent her dissatisfaction, but also to express an attitude to herself.

I just followed my father's orders and came here to fulfill my wish, and all other matters are decided by myself.

"However, her care for that boy is genuine."

There was a faint thought in his eyes. Zen Master Lingyou was originally worried about Pei Hui and Pei Wende's relationship.

But judging from the current situation, it was obvious that I was overthinking.

Pei Hui's sibling love for Pei Wende has not weakened at all because they have not seen each other for sixteen years. On the contrary, they have shown an unabashed protective feeling from the beginning.

In comparison, Zen Master Lingyou is now more worried about Pei Wende's attitude.

He has been taken away by me since he was born, and his personality belongs to that unscrupulous type...

Whether Pei Wende can accept the fact that he suddenly has a sister is still unknown.

Taking a step back, even if Pei Wende accepts this sister who appears out of nowhere, whether he will follow Pei Hui's wishes is another matter.

Thinking of this, Zen Master Lingyou felt a faint feeling of reluctance in his heart - sixteen years of upbringing had already made him regard Pei Wende as his own child.
