Chapter 99: You Finally Came…

Clang…

Hearing these words, the coffee in Kuang Tianyou’s hand smashed onto the ground, splashing everywhere.

Kuang Tianyou looked at Wei Ziqing in shock. He did not know how Wei Ziqing had discovered that he was a zombie.

Uncle Qiu, it was impossible; he definitely would not have said anything!

“How do you know I am a zombie?” Kuang Tianyou looked at Wei Ziqing warily. His entire body tensed up, feeling as if he had no secrets left in front of the man.

“Is it that hard? You neither eat nor drink. Anyone who pays attention could figure it out!” Wei Ziqing smiled, as if he did not see the wariness in Kuang Tianyou’s eyes.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Kuang Tianyou’s forehead. He then sighed helplessly, and his tense body slowly relaxed as he leaned halfway against the railing.

Did Wei Ziqing have bad intentions toward him? Not necessarily. Since he had already discovered the truth, he should understand that Kuang Tianyou did not drink human blood. He probably would not look at him with strange eyes, just like Uncle Qiu did.

Subdue him? Kuang Tianyou believed that Wei Ziqing was self-aware enough not to try that!

“I won’t ask you what you want the Zombie Blood for. I can give it to you, but I only hope that you won’t tell anyone about this!”

Wei Ziqing nodded without speaking. He sipped his coffee and quietly watched the moonlight.

…

The next day, as soon as it grew light, Ma Xiaoling, whose health had improved a lot, came storming into Wei Ziqing’s room. She wanted to ask him what should be done about the Hungry Shura.

However, when she arrived outside his door, she found the key hanging there. She pushed the door open and entered, but the room was empty. There was no sign of him.

While she was wondering, she found a letter lying on the table in the hall. It was very simple, with only a few short lines:

Do not worry about the Hungry Shura. He will only come for me. Blood debts must be paid in blood. I will handle this matter myself. If destiny allows, we shall meet again. Please take care!

…

Carrying the Demon-Subduing Sword and dressed in light clothing, Wei Ziqing looked quite eye-catching on the street. However, Wei Ziqing remained calm and composed through it all.

Leaving the Jiajia Building was a necessary decision!

Jin Zhengzhong was different from Luo Kaiping. Luo Kaiping was kind-hearted, and in the original story, Ma Xiaoling and the others were able to persuade him to turn back from the path of suffering. But Jin Zhengzhong could not be persuaded!

Therefore, leaving the Jiajia Building was the best choice for both him and Ma Xiaoling’s group.

As for where to go, Wei Ziqing had already made his choice. If there was anyone left in this world who could help him, it would likely only be her!

Thinking of this, Wei Ziqing turned and left. He walked slowly toward the place where she once existed in the original story, leaving behind only his faint humming:

A single tear of the mortal world, the hardships of the common folk are great.

When the time of causality arrives, a pure heart overcomes the sea of bitterness!

…

The Bamboo Forest Zen Temple was located on Mount Furong in Hong City. This place was lush green and filled with the smell of incense.

After traveling for half a day, Wei Ziqing finally arrived. Standing on the mountaintop, he could not help but frown.

Usually at this time, the Bamboo Forest Zen Temple should have been crowded with people. But at this moment, although bells rang through the clouds and sandalwood incense filled the air, there was not a single tourist in sight.

“Thirty-three years. It seems she has appeared!”

He had originally worried that he arrived too early, but now it seemed he didn’t need to worry about that.

As he stepped through the mountain gate, several Old Monks of the temple were stunned to see Wei Ziqing’s sudden appearance. Then, they stepped forward and performed a Buddhist greeting: “Amitabha Buddha, benefactor. The temple is not accepting incense offerings recently. Please leave for now!”

“I am not here to burn incense!” Wei Ziqing’s expression remained unchanged. He looked at the Old Monk and said calmly, “Grandmaster, please tell Master Miao Shan that a traveler named Wei Ziqing seeks an audience!”

Upon hearing the name Master Miao Shan, the Old Monk’s expression changed. He never expected that Wei Ziqing would know Master Miao Shan’s name.

One must know that Master Miao Shan was not someone ordinary people knew about. Although she appeared once every thirty-three years to answer people’s doubts, she only did so for those who were destined to meet her.

He wanted to refuse at first, but his expression changed again. He performed a Buddhist greeting: “Benefactor Wei, please come. Master Miao Shan has been waiting for you for a long time!”

Waiting for me for a long time?

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Wei Ziqing’s eyes. He then nodded and calmly followed the Old Monk. Although he knew that Master Miao Shan could foresee the causality of the past and future, he was ultimately not a person of this world. How did she know he would return?

Was Miao Shan, who was formed from a single tear of the mortal world by Guanyin, truly that terrifying?

While thinking about Master Miao Shan, he unconsciously arrived at a bamboo forest. Inside the forest, a bamboo house stood quietly amidst a sea of bamboo.

“Benefactor Wei, please enter!” the Old Monk said to Wei Ziqing. He then turned and retreated, leaving Wei Ziqing alone in front of the bamboo house.

Taking a deep breath, he pushed the door open and entered. Inside the room, sandalwood incense lingered and the decorations were elegant. However, Wei Ziqing did not take the time to look at these things. Instead, he stared intently at the short-haired woman in white who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed in meditation!

The woman seemed both illusory and real. If one did not look closely, it would be truly difficult to notice.

Beside her, a rugged warrior monk stood like a statue, holding a diamond staff. The blood-qi emanating from his body was as powerful as a soaring sky!

Master Miao Shan and her protector!

Having read the original story, although his memory was not deep, he knew the identities of these two!

“You… finally came, Mr. Wei!” Just as Wei Ziqing stepped into the bamboo house, Master Miao Shan finally opened her eyes.

“You knew I was coming? Then do you also know why I am here?” Wei Ziqing took a deep breath. Looking at Master Miao Shan, he did not ask about his own business directly, but instead questioned her.

He wanted to know if Miao Shan truly knew everything, and whether she knew that he was not from this world!

“Before I answer your question, can you answer a question for me?” Miao Shan did not answer Wei Ziqing’s question. Instead, she stared at him and asked a question in return.

Wei Ziqing frowned slightly. He had a bad feeling in his heart, vaguely sensing what Miao Shan was about to ask.

He wanted to refuse, but in the end, he nodded: “I can.”

“Who are you? Where do you come from? Why is there no trace of you in the River of Destiny or the realm of causality?”

Everyone in the River of Destiny was like a spark of starlight, always leaving a traceable path. But three months ago, a spark of starlight suddenly appeared in the River of Destiny.

No causality, no future, and no past. It just appeared abruptly!

For these three months, she had tried hard to predict and investigate, but it was always fruitless. Until half an hour ago, when this person stepped onto Mount Furong, she finally found a trace of him!

As expected…

Hearing Miao Shan’s words, Wei Ziqing frowned slightly. As the saying goes, whatever you fear most is what happens!

However, his frown soon relaxed. Since she asked, it proved that she did not know his secret!

That was enough!
