Chapter 1916: Chapter 1912: Ruthless Eating Machines (Part 2)
But just at this moment, someone blocked the way.
"Great Master, don’t be in such a hurry." The speaker was an enchanting woman, who then said with a smile, "Does the Great Master have a place to stay? If not, come to my Mirror Moon Division."
This sentence seemed to remind everyone, and the various young talents all stepped forward.
"Has the Great Master had dinner? Why not come to my place for a meal?"
"Great Master..."
For a moment, the entire crowd was in an uproar.
Everyone understood that if they could win over this powerful Buddhist monk, it would surely benefit them.
However, Yuan Tong just smiled silently and then stepped forward to leave.
But just then, a calm voice came from behind.
"If you don’t mind, why not come over and have a chat?"
Yuan Tong turned around and saw Xue An standing at the entrance of the inn, smiling as he spoke.
He couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback, then clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, thank you for the invitation, benefactor. I shall humbly accept!"
After speaking, he walked briskly towards Xue An.
Everyone was momentarily stunned.
Especially the enchanting woman who had spoken first, whose eyes were full of confusion, not understanding why this Great Monk would ignore her and instead value a "mediocre" young man so highly.
Even Xiao Monk Hui Tong was somewhat surprised, but he quickly followed suit.
As the two followed Xue An into the inn, people immediately started to discuss fervently.
"Who is this man? Why have I never seen him before?"
"Seems like he’s an external aid invited by the Execution God Temple."
"Why would the Execution God Temple get involved with a Buddhist monk?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Meanwhile, inside the welcoming inn.
In the White Jade Tower.
The banquet between Luo Rongjin and Gong Yunjun had reached a critical moment.
Luo Rongjin, who had been full of confidence, now appeared so gloomy that water could almost drip from his face.
Because he had just seen that Buddha’s light which covered half the city and even shook the heavens.
Not only did he see it, but he also clearly felt that his six Ghostly Guards had perished.
You should know he originally wanted to show off his strength in front of Gong Yunjun.
As a result, not only did he fail to showcase his power, but he also suffered losses.
How could this not enrage him?
Gong Yunjun was also somewhat surprised, but quickly calmed down, then sneered coldly at Luo Rongjin, "Your Highness Luo, is this the different view you wanted to show me? It is rather astonishing."
With that, Gong Yunjun stood up and said flatly, "Thank you for your hospitality, but I’m a bit tired, farewell!"
Then, she turned and was about to leave.
"Hold on!" Luo Rongjin’s voice was icy as he shouted.
Gong Yunjun halted her steps, not even turning her head, and said coolly, "Does His Highness Luo have any other business?"
"Did I give you permission to leave?"
"What?" Gong Yunjun turned around, her face mocking, and said, "Do I need your approval to leave?"
"Of course you do!" Luo Rongjin’s expression gradually became ferocious, "Don’t think I don’t know, have you secretly gone to meet other men behind my back?"
Gong Yunjun’s face changed, then anger flared in her eyes, "Your Highness Luo, it seems I have no relationship with you, why should you care who I meet?"
"Of course I must care, because you are the woman I, Luo Rongjin, have set my sights on; you can only belong to me!" Luo Rongjin almost hysterically shouted.
Gong Yunjun wore a mocking expression and said coldly, "I’m sorry, I do not belong to you!"
With that, Gong Yunjun turned and was ready to leave.
"You wicked woman, stop right there!" Luo Rongjin was furious, abruptly stood up, and charged forward.
You should know that Luo Rongjin is a peerless genius of the Emperor’s Palace, his power comparable to that of an Immortal King; charging in anger, his momentum was naturally extraordinary.
However, Gong Yunjun showed no fear at all, instead quickening her pace towards the exit.
"You’re seeking death!" Luo Rongjin was almost driven insane with anger; he roared, then unleashed an attack.
This attack was like heaven and earth collapsing, the reckless might directly targeting Gong Yunjun’s back.
Although Gong Yunjun was quite strong, she was far inferior to Luo Rongjin and had no time to react as the attack reached her back.
But just as the mighty force was about to make contact, the talisman around her neck suddenly emitted a thousand rays of light, forming a barrier behind her, which blocked the attack.
Bang!
A thunderous explosion shook the entire White Jade Tower.
Luo Rongjin staggered back several steps, eyes wide with shock.
The power contained in that barrier was simply unimaginable.
If he hadn’t withdrawn quickly, he might have been injured.
While he stood in a daze, Gong Yunjun took advantage of the momentum to fly out, crashing through a window, and vanished into the vast night sky.
At the same time, hearing the noise, Teng Hongbo, leading many subordinates, rushed over.
"Your Highness, what happened?" Teng Hongbo asked in shock.
Luo Rongjin’s face was ashen, gritting his teeth as he replied, "That bitch Gong Yunjun escaped!"
"What? She escaped?" Teng Hongbo was shocked, and immediately ordered his men, "Seal the area at once, and capture Gong Yunjun with all our might."
"Yes!"
With that command, the entire White Jade Tower was in turmoil.
At first, people didn’t know what was going on. Upon hearing that the courtesan Gong Yunjun had escaped, they were all astonished.
"Wow, Ms. Yunjun has a fiery temper, she actually just ran away like that."
"Hmph, it must be that Luo Rongjin’s strong coercion, otherwise why would Ms. Yunjun run away?"
Everyone had something to say.
The young maid Xi’Er of Gong Yunjun stood by the window, looking at the night outside, murmuring softly, "Miss, you must take care!"
As the entire The Purple Microcosm City buzzed over the incident with Gong Yunjun.
Inside the inn, Xiao Sha, Xiao Yu, and Xiang Xiang Nian Nian sat in a row, staring dumbfounded at the three people devouring their meal on the opposite side.
Indeed!
After entering the inn, the first thing Yuan Tong and Hui Tong did was eat heartily.
And that gluttonous boy was of course "not willing to be outdone," the three of them joining forces, turning into emotionless eating machines, leaving everyone else astonished.
After a long time, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but mutter, "Did we find two more gluttons?"
Just as he finished speaking, Yuan Tong cleared the dishes in front of him and pushed forward, solemnly reciting the Buddhist blessing.
"Namo Amitabha, thank you for the offering, benefactor."
Xue An smiled slightly, "You’re welcome."
Then Xue An casually asked, "Is the Great Monk from Dingchan Temple?"
Yuan Tong smiled, "Amitabha, I am indeed the thirty-eighth generation successor of Dingchan Temple, Dharma name Yuan Tong."
Hui Tong, hearing this, quickly swallowed his food and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "Hui Tong, the thirty-eighth generation successor."
An Yan couldn’t help but giggle, then joked, "Yuan Tong, Hui Tong... do you also have Zhongtong and Shentong?"
Yuan Tong was taken aback, "How does the female benefactor know the names of my senior and junior brothers?"
An Yan: "..."
Xue An smiled faintly, "Since you are successors of Dingchan Temple, do you know about Yue Sha?"
