Chapter 21

Xiao Wu held a Buddhist scripture in her arms, her face showing a hint of surprise.

Tonight, she was dressed in a white chiffon dress, like a pure lotus, and in this Clear Water Villa, she appeared even more refined and elegant, ethereal and light.

Beside Xiao Wu, there were a few others. Qin Xuan’s gaze swept over them, and he found that he actually knew them all.

Lu Yunfan, He Yu, Wang Xiao...

They were all students from the same high school as him. Especially when his gaze fell on Lu Yunfan, a coldness appeared in Qin Xuan’s eyes.

In his previous life, he and Lu Yunfan were acquaintances.

Lu Yunfan was Xiao Wu’s biggest suitor, and not only that, his background was astonishingly deep. He was also the biggest figure in the high school, and it was said that even the principal had been replaced because of Lu Yunfan.

No one knew the specifics of Lu Yunfan’s background, but everyone knew that Lu Yunfan was far superior to someone like Wang Jiahao. From the beginning of high school, he had been madly pursuing Xiao Wu, and everyone knew about it.

There were once people who wanted to compete with Lu Yunfan, but the next day, they were forced to transfer schools. Since then, Xiao Wu seemed to have become Lu Yunfan’s private taboo, even though Xiao Wu never paid attention to him, Lu Yunfan was still enthusiastic about it.

It was also during Qin Xuan’s lost and dispirited days in his previous life that he and Xiao Wu became closer, often spending time together. He was warned by Lu Yunfan many times, and even beaten up several times, which made Qin Xuan later dare not approach Xiao Wu.

"Qin Xuan, why are you here?" He Yu’s eyes widened in surprise.

This time, she had come to play with Xiao Wu, but she never expected to meet Qin Xuan here.

Xiao Wu slowly walked over, slightly opening the Buddhist scripture, and Mu Xuer’s note appeared in her small hand.

"You forgot to take it last time!"

Qin Xuan smiled faintly, not paying much attention to the note.

"Do you only have this one Buddhist scripture?"

In his memories from his previous life, Xiao Wu seemed to have only this one Buddhist scripture, which she never tired of reading.

Xiao Wu frowned slightly, and finally placed Mu Xuer’s note inside the scripture, nodding lightly: "Yes!"

In the distance, Wang Xiao glanced at Lu Yunfan and whispered, "Isn’t that Qin Xuan? How could he be connected to Xiao Wu? I’ve never seen Xiao Wu take the initiative to approach any man, Yunfan, you need to be careful."

Lu Yunfan glanced at Qin Xuan indifferently and smiled, "Do you think he’s worthy to be my rival?"

Beside him, someone chuckled, "Of course not, but no one can resist this guy’s thick skin! He pursued Mu Xuer for two years, and now that Mu Xuer has transferred, this guy might have set his sights on Xiao Wu."

A glint of light flashed in Lu Yunfan’s eyes, and he said nonchalantly, "If he dares, I’ll make him know what regret is."

...

"Tomorrow, I’ll give you the Buddhist scripture." Qin Xuan smiled lightly.

While completing the Ling Shui Jue for Mo Zhengfeng, he had also copied the Buddhist scripture. Although it was just an ordinary scripture, it contained some low-level Buddhist cultivation techniques. If studied for a long time, it could even lead to the path of Buddhism.

Cultivating Buddhism is different from cultivating Dao; Buddhism places more emphasis on the state of mind. Once the state of mind is elevated, cultivation will naturally follow. For a woman like Xiao Wu, cultivating Buddhism is just right, and this can also be considered Qin Xuan’s way of repaying her for her actions in his previous life.

Those who wrong me, I will repay with a small favor.

Those who do me a favor, I will repay with a great favor!

He Yu walked to Xiao Wu’s side and heard Qin Xuan’s words, unable to help but sneer, "Qin Xuan, are you just talking big again? Do you even know what Buddhism is? What Buddhist scripture could you have?"

She was somewhat angry. She thought that after Mu Xuer transferred, Qin Xuan would reform and focus on his studies. But she never expected that Qin Xuan would still be as irresponsible as ever, and even start纠缠起 Xiao Wu.

Buddhist scripture?

What a joke. She had known Qin Xuan for over two years, living under the same roof. She had never seen Qin Xuan read a Buddhist scripture, let alone a textbook.

Xiao Wu also smiled lightly, not believing that Qin Xuan could have any Buddhist scripture. However, the incident at Juyun轩 had left a deep impression on her, and she had become more attentive to Qin Xuan.

Xiao Wu glanced at He Yu, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She was wise and perceptive, and she could see that He Yu did not know Qin Xuan’s true abilities. How could someone who could make the powerful Mo Yunlong bow down be simple?

Although Mo Yunlong was not much in her eyes, he was still a major figure in Jing Shui.

Qin Xuan glanced at He Yu and smiled faintly, "Indeed, I don’t understand Buddhism!"

In the immortal realm of the past, the masters of the three thousand pure lands would respectfully call him the Green Emperor. Why would he need to understand Buddhism?

He cultivated the path of eternal life, the path of eternal youth, the path of transcending to become a deity, standing shoulder to shoulder with the ancient gods. How could a mere path of Buddhism enter the eyes of the Green Emperor Qin Changqing?

Buddhism? What is it in the eyes of the Green Emperor?

He Yu heard this and gently pulled Xiao Wu, sneering, "Xiao Wu, don’t pay attention to this guy. He’s just being arrogant and trying to get a Buddhist scripture to please you."

"He doesn’t know how valuable the Buddhist scripture in your hands is, nor does he know what kind of Buddhist scripture you aspire to. Why bother with him?"

"Xiao Yu!"

Xiao Wu smiled lightly, hesitating to speak.

She knew that He Yu was always proud and was Qin Xuan’s sister.

Moreover, the fact that Qin Xuan was staying at her house was well-known throughout the high school. Their relationship was like water and fire, and everyone knew about it. This was a family matter, and she didn’t need to meddle.

"Hmph, not studying properly, always trying to please women, Qin Xuan, you’ve disappointed me." He Yu’s anger grew, but deep down, she was more disappointed in his lack of ambition.

Qin Xuan naturally wouldn’t stoop to He Yu’s level. Although He Yu always taunted him, he understood that she was just tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

He took a sip of red wine, his expression calm.

At this moment, his gaze was deep and distant, like the vast starry sky, his aura towering and looking down on all living beings.

"Even if I don’t understand Buddhism, so what? Buddhism is just a passing cloud to me."

"Why should I need to understand it? There are countless Buddhas in the world, but none can compare to me, Qin Xuan."

"I don’t understand Buddhism, but I understand the heavens!"

"How vast are the heavens, and how can Buddhism understand them?"

Qin Xuan smiled faintly, looking at Xiao Wu, "Why should I need to understand the Buddhism in your eyes?"

As he spoke, Xiao Wu’s eyes were blank, and He Yu was speechless.

When they finally reacted, Qin Xuan was still sitting there, a faint smile on his face, as if the aura he had just displayed had never existed, everything seemed like an illusion.

"You... you just know how to talk big." He Yu’s face turned red with anger, staring at Qin Xuan fiercely.

Xiao Wu was silent, looking at Qin Xuan, wanting to refute him but not knowing how.

How could Buddhism compare to the heavens?

Her heart was stirred, and she became even more curious about Qin Xuan. How could an ordinary person say such things?

Qin Xuan smiled lightly, raising his wine glass and taking another sip of red wine, his expression calm.

Countless Buddhas, compared to him, the Green Emperor, what were they?
