Chapter 282 The Dao Heart

Although Ye Shaoyang felt that this matter regarding his Heavenly Master Tablet was magical and that there might be some mysterious reasons behind it, he had no clue on how to investigate further . So, he had no choice but to keep this matter in his heart .

Upon exiting the house, Xiao Ma suggested they grab a car to the hospital but Ye Shaoyang held back the plan, saying he wanted to check his balance on his account at the bank .

“What if there were some technical issues with the bank, and I didn’t receive the money?” Ye Shaoyang felt worried since Zhuang Yuning had informed him that the money was transferred into his bank account . He was always concerned about his money .

Xiao Ma gaped, speechless, “The bank would not make such a mistake . Even if they did, the money would return to her account, and she would have realized it by now . ”

“Hard to say . I will only feel reassured after seeing the money in my account . ”

Xiao Ma could not bear Ye Shaoyang acting like a miser, so he decided to go with him . At the nearest bank, Ye Shaoyang checked the balance, and it was three hundred and forty-five thousand Yuan . He double checked the eight digits and felt relieved at once and turned to Xiao Ma, “Do you think the money will go missing even if it is saved in a bank?”

“Holy Moly Little Ye! If you feel unsafe, you can withdraw all the money and keep it in your house!” Xiao Ma felt fed up .

“No . You can’t get interests if you keep it at home . ”

“Umm.. . Whatever . ” Xiao Ma was totally speechless .

Then, the two grabbed a car to the hospital . Along the way to the hospital, Xiao Ma kept telling the stories about Zhuang Yuning excitedly . However, Ye Shaoyang showed no interest in listening . The only concern he had was the powerful spirit that hung around Zhuang Yuning . He had neither good feeling toward her nor did he have any interest in becoming a celebrity .

Upon arriving at the hospital, Xiao Ma led Ye Shaoyang to Teng Yongqing’s ward . He looked a lot thinner compared to a few days ago, but he seemed to be fresher today, although there was still a roller bandage on his neck . He was packing up his stuff, getting ready to leave the hospital .

Ye Shaoyang’s sudden appearance shocked Teng Yongqing, and guilt appeared on his face .

Ye Shaoyang saw this change but said nothing, smiling and greeting him, “How do you feel today?”

“I am fine . Planning to check out soon,” said Teng Yongqing as he dropped the stack of clothes, filled up two cups of water, and passed the cups to Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma .

Ye Shaoyang accepted the cup and asked, “Are you staying here alone?”

“Yes, Miss Zhou hired a private nurse for me . However, I sent her away two days ago, since I can take care of myself now . I don’t want to waste Miss Zhou’s money . I feel a little embarrassed by that . ”

Looking around the room, Ye Shaoyang found that the room was fully furnished like a luxurious room in a hotel . Zhou Jingru must have spent a lot on this . He sat on the leather couches . What a comfortable couch! He looked up and asked Teng Yongqing, “What are your plans?”

“I plan to head back to Luo Jia Sect and become a monk . ”

Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma exchanged glances before he asked Teng Yongqing, “Dude, are you serious? Becoming a monk?”

“All the while, I had planned to become a monk, but Madam Chee’s matter had always stuck in my mind and affected my Dao heart in practicing Buddhism . Since everything has come to an end, I can practice Buddhism without any worries . ” Teng Yongqing smiled as he put his palms together and bowed, “Thank you Heavenly Master Ye for saving my life . I have only myself to blame for my injuries . However, after thinking for the past few days, I don’t think I made the wrong decision . ”historical

Ye Shaoyang smiled and said nothing, waiting for him to continue .

“But, if I stepped in your shoes, I would agree with your decision; this question has confused me since I woke up . I think I will ponder this question when I am back at Luo Jia Sect . I believe I will return with a stronger Dao heart after I have thought through this matter . ”

Ye Shaoyang gave a nod of approval when he heard the last sentence .

Teng Yongqing continued, “My master has his ways of solving a person’s confusion . Heavenly Master Ye, if you meet any problem in the future, you can meet my master in Luo Jia Sect . I am sure he will enlighten you . ”

Ye Shaoyang replied with a smile, “Thanks . You’re so kind . But I guess I am the only one who can solve my problems . ”

Teng Yongqing nodded and said nothing .

He decided he would leave for Luo Jia Sect today, so Teng Yongqing invited everyone for lunch . So, Ye Shaoyang helped him call their group to a restaurant near the hospital . Everyone arrived before noon .

This was the first gathering after the battle with Madam Chee . Everyone was here except Tan Xiaohui . None of them mentioned her name as though they had a tacit understanding, but they all sighed quietly in their hearts .

Teng Yongqing poured each of them a glass of wine . After a toast, he drank the entire cup . This time, he drank it on his own accord .

Ye Shaoyang stared at him, wide-eyed, “Are you addicted to alcohol since your last drinking? You are drinking even without someone urging you?”

“One last time . I will stop after I become a monk . ”

“Alas, it is difficult to stop drinking . You are destined to be a drinking monk . ” As Old Guo said, he tilted his head and whispered in Teng Yongqing’s ear, and he blushed at once, shaking his head relentlessly, “No . No . No . No . It is a sin to even drink alcohol, how can I --”

“But you might not have a chance to experience it after you have become a monk . ”

Even an innocent person understood what Old Guo had whispered into Teng Yongqing’s ear . Xie Yuqing kicked Old Guo’s chair, hard, “What a bastard you are! Trying to be funny? Want me to lock you up in jail?”

Old Guo finally remembered that there was an officer here, so he put on an innocent look at once, “Constable Xie, this is just a misunderstanding . I said I would like him to experience gambling . You know, as a guy, we need to experience and learn some gambling skills . ”

Xie Yuqing went blank for a moment before she jumped, “No . Gambling is illegal too!”

Halfway through the meal, Ye Shaoyang thought of the ancient tomb . He confirmed again with Xie Yuqing and Old Guo whether they had followed his instructions to bury the corpse and seal the tomb forever, and they replied with an affirmative .

“Talking about this,” said Old Guo, “I met Sibao Monk at the mountain . He kept asking me, when he bought me a drink that day, to introduce a job like consecration to him as he might need to stay in Stone City for quite some time . ”

Ye Shaoyang recalled the Living Fiend, “I would like to meet him again someday . I hope to discuss something with him . ”

Old Guo nodded, “I know where he stays . I can bring you there after lunch . ”

“Not today . I am busy today . ”

Everyone was a little shocked when they heard that Ye Shaoyang was busy . Before Ye Shaoyang could answer, Xiao Ma, who was over-excited, announced that Ye Shaoyang had promised to become Zhuang Yuning’s personal security . He exaggerated the way Zhuang Yuning had begged for Ye Shaoyang to stay at her place as her personal security and how she had increased the pay . Surely enough, he took no notice of the jealous faces of the two pretty ladies .

After he finished his words, Xie Yuqing forced a smile toward Ye Shaoyang, “Whoa, a date with a pretty lady, a famous celebrity . Grab the chance well . Maybe she will think of marrying you after you help her . Haha . ”
