Tomorrow is the opening time of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Everyone in the night fell asleep early, wanting to greet this great battle in their best condition.

However, Xu Han did not have the heart to sleep. He sat alone on the steps of the courtyard and looked at the night. He curled up beside him and was drowsy. Xuan'er squatted on his shoulder and tilted her head to look at him, as if she was wondering what Xu Han was doing.

The spring night breeze blew by, shaking the unknown trees in the courtyard. The leaves rustled, and one or two birds hiding on the branches to build their nests did not alarm. They let out a clear cry and flew away with their wings flapped.

Xuan'er stared at the two birds with her eyes wide open. She jumped off Xu Han's shoulders as if she wanted to chase after the bird, but she threw herself into the air.

The little fellow, however, did not give up and continued to stare at the few large trees, as if he wanted to find one or two fish that had escaped the net.

"You have something to hide from us." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

Seemingly recognizing the identity of the owner of the voice, Xuan'er, who had never been afraid of the heavens or the earth, stood upright and quickly ran back to the courtyard behind Xu Han like a god of plague. During that time, she even used Aowu's body as a pedal and jumped on Xu Han's head. Aowu woke up as if she had just woken up from a dream. She raised her head and stared around with wide eyes, as if she was wondering who had spared her and the wolf cub's beautiful dreams.

Xu Han also raised his head and looked at the petite figure walking towards him. He smiled faintly but did not respond.

"I thought we were friends." The girl sat beside Xu Han and touched Aowu's head. However, Aowu seemed to be extremely afraid of the girl. She hurriedly ran into the inner courtyard with her tail between her legs and went to look for Xuan'er.

"Of course we are friends." Xu Han looked at Kanban's face and almost made me angry. I was very unhappy with the Fang Ziyu written on his face and whispered at that time.

Fang Ziyu tilted his head and thought about it, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with an exact phrase to describe his state of mind. In the end, he lowered his head and said sullenly, "It's just like Chen. It's very different."

Hearing this, Xu Han was slightly stunned and said softly, "Perhaps Brother Chen also had his reasons. After all, when he sat in that position, he couldn't help but do a lot of things."

"Yes." Fang Ziyu shook his head, "I don't blame him."

'"He never gave me any promises. Everything was my wishful thinking. I just don't understand." Fang Ziyu paused again. She raised her head and looked straight at Xu Han. "I just don't understand. We are clearly friends. You guys can risk everything for me. Why are you guys not telling me anything when it comes to you guys?"

"Isn't it right for friends to share their troubles? Isn't it right for you to go through fire and water for me, and I'll die for you? You're all like this. It's not fair to me."

As the girl said this, her face was filled with confusion and resentment.

Xu Han was at a loss. To be exact, he didn't know how to respond to Fang Ziyu's concern.

He wasn't used to this kind of concern, or rather, some experiences made him instinctively reject it.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." After thinking for a while, he could only say this.

Hearing this, Fang Ziyu glared at Xu Han fiercely, but was somewhat discouraged. She knew that even Ye Hongjian and Qin Keqing could not change this youth's decision, let alone her.

Therefore, she could only sigh and say, "I hope you can understand that we are friends. Not everything needs to be handled by you alone. No matter what other people do to you, you are not alone in this world."

At this point, the corner of Miss Fang's eyes revealed a cunning smile. She pointed at the bridge of Xu Han's nose and said loudly, "You surnamed Xu, remember, at the ends of the earth, you are protected by your sister Fang!"

Seeing the girl's appearance, Xu Han's lips unconsciously curled into a smile. He said, "Alright, I'll remember."

..

"Say it again!" Liu Dingdang placed the porcelain bowl filled with soup on the table. The soup in the bowl shook and scattered all over the table.

However, Liu Dingdang did not seem to notice. She widened her eyes and stared at the Guang Lingui beside her with resentment.

At the Dragon Gate Meeting, Guang Lingui, who was as hard to enter as a stranger as a devil god, was like a guilty child. He shrunk his neck and said carefully, "Tomorrow.. I'll go alone."

Liu Dingdang's big dark eyes immediately burst into tears when he said those words.

"You don't want me anymore, you heartless!" She said, almost choking with sobs, as if she had been wronged by someone who had always been abandoned.

The little monk's head was a little big, and he was even more helpless.

He hurriedly explained, "Tomorrow, many people will come back from the Demon Suppressing Tower. When that time comes, I will go to the tower again. I can't care about you, I'm afraid.."

"What are you afraid of! I am a living person, can I lose it? Besides, ever since I was saved by that strange monk, my strength has increased by a lot. You can rest assured." As he spoke, Liu Dingdang seemed to be trying to prove that what he said was true, and he even waved his fist.

Guang Lingui saw her like this and shook his head with a bitter smile. He was about to say something when Liu Dingdang, who was beside him, seemed to have seen through his intentions. He felt that he had reached out to hug Guang Lingui 's arm and shook it. "Please, take me with you. I'll wait for you outside. I won't go anywhere. I'm so bored staying here alone!"

Guang Lingui didn't have the slightest bit of resistance to the girl's coquettish behavior. He shook his head helplessly and could only compromise, "Then you can't go anywhere until I come out!"

"En!" The girl who got the answer she wanted hurriedly nodded her head. It was as if she felt that this was not enough to express her joy at the moment, but she had actually moved to the side of Guang Lingui 's face and pecked at it like a dragonfly.

"You!" The fleeting kiss made Guang Lingui feel as if he had been electrocuted. His body trembled before he wanted to say anything, but the girl stood up and ran away from the shop where they were staying.

Guang Lingui hurriedly checked out, afraid that something would happen to the girl on the street, so he quickly ran towards the direction where the girl had left.

However, when he took this step and turned around a corner, he saw the girl squinting her eyes and looking at him from afar with her hands behind her back, a smile on her face.

Guang Lingui was stunned for a moment, but he was actually stunned in place.

He thought of the kiss he had just given, and looked at the girl with a smile like a flower in front of him.

There seemed to be some extremely unfamiliar but inexplicably familiar scenes flashing through his mind.

He saw an ancient temple deep in the mountains. A young monk was bathed in incense. His face was silent as he crossed his legs and chanted the Buddha's name. A woman with a blurry face walked over to the monk. She asked him, "Brother Dongjun, why can't a monk marry?"

"Because six of them are unclean, it's hard to see Buddha."

"Why must I see the Buddha?"

"Because there is no Buddha, it is difficult for all living beings."

"Then why do you want to save all living beings?"

"Because all living beings are suffering and cannot bear it. My heart cannot bear it, nor can my Buddhist heart."

"Then why didn't you save me? Am I not a living being?"

The monk was dumbfounded. He lowered his head and remained silent. He could only chant the Buddha's name softly, not daring to look at the woman's shining eyes.

..

He then saw a young monk preaching in a bustling city. He watched the believers leave before he stood up.

The woman ran over from somewhere and stood in front of the monk, "Brother Dongjun."

She called out in such a soft voice. Facing the monk whose face did not change, his body suddenly trembled slightly. He hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to look at her.

The woman looked at it with interest and asked, "I have just finished listening to Brother Dongjun's Buddhist teachings. I have memorized them all, but I still don't understand. Can you teach me any more?"

The young monk lowered his head and bowed his eyebrows. He made a Buddhist salute and said, "Today's lecture is over. Benefactor, if you have the heart, you can come back tomorrow."

"But what if I still don't understand tomorrow?"

"Come back the day after tomorrow .."

"What if I don't understand the day after tomorrow?"

The monk frowned. Gu Bo, who had cultivated for many years, rippled at that time. He said, "That benefactor is afraid that he will not be fated with my Buddha."

As soon as he spoke, the monk's expression changed.

However, the woman did not feel anything. She felt even more displeased with the monk. She continued, "Didn't you say that everyone can become a Buddha? Didn't you say that you want to save all living beings? If you can't save me, how can you save all living beings?"

The monk was speechless again. This time, he pondered for a long time before saying, "This poor monk knows that if Benefactor wishes to come to the Buddhist Academy every afternoon in the future, I will help Benefactor resolve his doubts about the Buddhist Dharma." The monk seemed somewhat guilty as he added, "It's just the Buddhist Dharma."

The woman immediately laughed. She nodded her head repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Brother Dongjun, don't worry, I will definitely come on time!"

In the blurry painting, Guang Lingui still couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but he inexplicably believed that the woman's smile must be very beautiful.

..

The scene changed again.

The monk rode on the white horse and was about to urge his horse to fly away, as if he was afraid of something. However, the usually obedient horse hesitated at the city gate at that time.

Thus, the thing that the monk feared the most finally came.

The woman climbed onto the city wall and looked at him with tears rolling down her eyes. She shouted loudly, "Brother Dongjun, if there is an afterlife, will you marry me?"

The monk did not turn around, nor did he dare to turn around.

He patted the horse impatiently. The horse finally understood its master's thoughts. It snapped its nose and rode on Juechen.

The monk did not give him an answer.

However, Guang Lingui seemed to have heard a voice. It was as if the monk was talking about it, and it was as if he was talking about it himself.

It was a word that was extremely simple, and it was also a word that was extremely certain of the Dao.

He said, or they said, "Okay."

..

"Hey, little monk, why are you in a daze?" At this time, Liu Dingdang's voice suddenly came, pulling the thoughts of the Guang Lingui out of the images that suddenly appeared.

'"Huh? Nothing.." Guang Lingui said as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"These days must be too tiring." Liu Dingdang did not suspect him. Instead, she said with some distress. She reached out and wiped the sweat off the little monk's forehead. She said to herself, "Wait until you get the medicine. Let's leave here and find a better place. The two of us will always be together, okay?"

Guang Lingui looked at Liu Dingdang, who was wiping away his sweat with a face full of concentration. The blurry face in his mind suddenly overlapped with the appearance of the girl in front of him.

He stretched out his hand and held the girl's hand in surprise.

The boy looked at the girl and said in a tone of utmost certainty.

"Alright."
