Chapter 1494: Shattered Illusions

Lin Feng now finally understood the greatest benefit Tang Rou’s cultivation had brought him… During this period, Wu Mei and Xue Qingyi were successively pregnant, Ye Lin was still sulking after being forcibly transferred by him, and Su Zi’s side had yet to implement the infiltration plan. Lin Feng had been having a tough time… basically in a state of hunger, but now he discovered that Tang Rou’s combat power had suddenly increased, and it was as if a new world had opened up for him!

For Lin Feng, this indescribable night seemed a bit short, and by the time he and Tang Rou were satisfied and fell asleep holding each other, a hint of dawn was already peeking through the hotel’s windows…

When the afternoon came, Lin Feng woke up from sleep and found a radiant Tang Rou already dressed, sitting beside him with a loving gaze and a sweet smile, looking very adorable.

Lin Feng sprang up and pounced on Tang Rou with a teasing smile, asking, “Girl, how come you woke up earlier than I did? Aren’t you tired?”

Hearing Lin Feng’s question, Tang Rou naturally recalled Lin Feng’s wild antics the previous night, and a pretty blush naturally appeared on her face. She slightly averted her gaze and whispered in a mosquito-like voice, “Just a little…”

Only a little… Lin Feng couldn’t help but smack his lips. Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, the intense combat of the previous night left his lower back a bit sore… Tang Rou said she was only a little tired, cough cough… Indeed, women have the advantage!

During broad daylight, Tang Rou seemed unwilling to dwell on this topic with Lin Feng. After answering his question, she immediately asked back, “Lin Feng, where are we going today?”

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said to Tang Rou, “Today, I’m taking you to learn martial arts!”

…

After being forcibly kept in Jiangzhou by Lin Feng, Master Ci Yun was arranged in the basement of the Security Center Building in Wu Family Village. The guards delivered water and dry food once a day. Master Ci Yun never made a fuss and showed no dissatisfaction; instead, she gently thanked the people delivering items, often leaving them at a loss.

Now, the brothers responsible for guarding the Security Center Building all knew that this nun seemed to be a high-spirited monk. Why Brother Feng captured her, they wondered, might be a mistake? However, even if Lin Feng made a mistake, these guards dared not defy their orders and show excessive sympathy toward Master Ci Yun. At most, they took extra care of her meals.

Master Ci Yun bore no grudge against these brothers, but in her heart, she had kept a grudge against one person… the culprit who forcibly kept her in Jiangzhou, Lin Feng!

Why did she lose to Lin Feng? Master Ci Yun couldn’t figure this out. Although the memories of her two encounters with Lin Feng were vivid, she genuinely couldn’t understand why she lost so miserably, and why Lin Feng was able to defeat her?

At two in the afternoon, Lin Feng took Tang Rou to the basement of the office building in Wu Family Village and opened the heavy cell door, meeting Master Ci Yun, who had been detained for a while.

“Lin Feng!” Master Ci Yun, upon seeing Lin Feng, flashed a hint of spite in her eyes and said in a deep voice, “You finally dare to see me!”

“Funny! I’m not the one who lost, why wouldn’t I dare to see you?” Lin Feng smiled at Master Ci Yun’s words and said calmly, “I’ve just been busy lately and haven’t had time for you. Did you think you could intimidate me?”

Master Ci Yun was taken aback; Lin Feng was right. He hadn’t lost; he was the winner, so why would he fear seeing her? Master Ci Yun became silent and involuntarily glanced at Tang Rou beside Lin Feng, and her expression suddenly froze with disbelief, “No, it’s impossible! Miss Tang… you… you’ve completely recovered?!”

Lin Feng frowned, realizing that Master Ci Yun could immediately see Tang Rou’s condition, implying that this old nun had been hiding the unstable state of Tang Rou’s emotions from him all along?!

This old nun is asking for it! A flicker of cold killing intent passed through Lin Feng’s eyes.

“Lin Feng, don’t be agitated. I’m fine now!” Tang Rou, very familiar with Lin Feng, sensed his murderous intent in an instant and quickly grabbed his arm, soothing him.

“Good thing you’re okay!” Lin Feng’s expression softened slightly as Tang Rou held him. He told her, then said coldly, “Otherwise, this nun wouldn’t be alive!”

At this time, Master Ci Yun seemed not to hear Lin Feng’s sarcasm, still staring at Tang Rou in disbelief, mumbling to herself, “But that was the true illusion of the Lotus Sutra, a day in the illusion world is like ten years. How could you possibly… return to normal? Shouldn’t you have turned into a Buddhist disciple…”

Previously, Master Ci Yun was already surprised that Tang Rou could partially regain her senses but rationalized it because Tang Rou was a rare pristine body that faced few obstacles during cultivation. However, seeing Tang Rou now appearing completely like a normal person with no Buddha nature light, Master Ci Yun finally couldn’t hold back and broke down… Master Ci Yun, when first detained by Lin Feng, managed to stay calm because she was waiting for the day Tang Rou would be swallowed by the true illusion and fall entirely into Buddhism!

Master Ci Yun thought she could wait, but today all her fantasies finally shattered!

Upon hearing Master Ci Yun’s muttering, Lin Feng deduced her thoughts and was almost amused by this naive old nun…

“Ci Yun! I know you want to take Tang Rou as a disciple. I’ll give you a chance. As long as you comply with my terms, maybe Tang Rou can indeed call you Master!” Lin Feng suddenly spoke sternly, casually tempting Master Ci Yun.

“What chance? Tell me!” Master Ci Yun quickly snapped back to reality, looked seriously at Lin Feng, and revealed an expression of excitement… Clearly, taking Tang Rou under her wing had become her obsession!

“Do you remember why I kept you in Jiangzhou?” Lin Feng said calmly, “As long as you honestly follow my wishes and teach Tang Rou one martial art, you will be free! No need to wait for someone from Wunian Nunnery; I’ll let you leave.”

“Teach one martial art, just one?” Master Ci Yun looked at Lin Feng with some skepticism, not quite believing the promise, but her desire for freedom compelled her to ask, “Which martial art do you want me to teach?”
