Chapter 111 Xie Lianrui Passes Away?
"Boss lady, could you pack it up and take it with me?"
Yan Huai smiled innocently without realizing it, his long hair gently brushing against his face, softening the sharp angles of his features. His eyes were clear and genuine, making it hard to refuse such a beautiful sight.
"Huh? Oh, okay, okay!" The proprietress under the umbrella was momentarily stunned, but once she came to her senses, she agreed without hesitation. "I happen to have a porcelain bowl here, let me fill it up for you! Should the seasonings be packed separately?"
"Pack them separately, please! Thank you, boss lady!" Yan Huai felt that his current fawning demeanor and tone of voice were completely abnormal. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized, "Why the hell is this a bit like Black Glasses' shameless behavior?!"
Yan Huai was startled by his own sudden thought. He frowned, and after the proprietress packed up all the jelly, he paid, thanked her, and turned to leave as quickly as if he had gotten himself into some kind of trouble...
Meanwhile, Black Glasses, who was disliked without knowing the truth, was staying at Chenyun Temple, eating and sleeping with Xie Lianrui's disciple, and hadn't gotten up yet. The young Taoist priest was impressed.
"Master Qi, is there anything wrong with the room I prepared for you?" Why are you taking over my bed? And why didn't you tidy it up properly, causing me to be denied breakfast!
Zhu Xun stood angrily by the bed, looking at the black-clad man sprawled out on the bed, his eyes listless and helpless. It had only been a day, but he felt like he'd been tormented for N days, unable to sleep well and only able to meditate in the middle of the night...
"Little Taoist priest... don't be so stingy~" Dark Glasses yawned sleepily, then rolled over with a thud, but his sunglasses were still firmly on. "This isn't a room without any living people; a blind person wouldn't feel safe here..."
absurd!
Zhu Xun couldn't bring himself to swear, so he could only glare resentfully at Black Glasses, thinking to himself: If this guy doesn't go to the side room tonight, then I'll go by myself. It's just a bed, I'll give it up!
Perhaps Zhu Xun's inner thoughts were overheard by a passing immortal, or perhaps Black Glasses' conscience made him feel guilty; in any case, the next second, Black Glasses sat up from the bed without any warning.
"what time is it?"
Zhu Xun looked bewildered, unaccustomed to the sudden change in expression on Black Glasses' face: "It's almost ten o'clock."
Where does your master usually practice in the morning?
"It's only in the backyard! Don't you know that, Qi Shanren?"
"Oh..." The expression behind the black-rimmed glasses suddenly became ambiguous. He grinned and said to Zhu Xun in a low voice, "It seems your master has passed away."
Zhu Xun was momentarily speechless, unable to even react with anger or reprimand. He shook his head in disbelief, his facial muscles stiffening and twitching uncontrollably. Even though he knew Black Glasses wouldn't joke like that, he still couldn't believe it.
He just came out of Master's backyard! How could Master have passed away...?
However, the truth left Zhu Xun no choice but to believe it: Xie Lianrui had indeed passed away peacefully in the meditation room of the successive abbots.
When the disciples of Chenyun Temple arrived after receiving the news, they found the door to the solemn and quiet meditation room half-open, with warm yellow light shining through the crack.
In the center of the room, on the straw mat he used for meditation, Xie Lianrui's hair and eyebrows were already gray. Compared to a quarter of an hour ago, his face seemed much older, but his posture remained calm and firm, like an unyielding stone statue...
Zhu Xun stood among his fellow disciples, his brows furrowed, his unfocused gaze seemingly confirming everything. Then, he turned to look outside the meditation room, but the man in black glasses who had been standing there was nowhere to be seen.
