I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Very well, let's put this matter to rest today."

Faced with the old abbot's plea, Qin Yao sighed softly, turned around and said, "Earth Goddess, bring Hong Xiuying out."

As soon as she finished speaking, a golden light brought Hong Xiuying to the front of everyone, and she then manifested as the Earth Goddess.

“Young lady, my son has truly seen the light. I dare not ask for your forgiveness, but I beg you to give him a chance to atone for his sins.” Upon seeing Hong Xiuying appear, Madam Qin quickly kowtowed.

Hong Xiuying watched as this noblewoman, who could be described as dignified, kowtowed repeatedly, and suddenly said, "The night Qin Huan abducted me to the Prime Minister's residence, I begged you in the same way."

Madam Qin: "..."

Prime Minister Qin's cheek twitched, and he said, "The fault lies entirely with me for failing to manage my household properly and for failing to educate my son. Please punish me, Miss Hong."

"Prime Minister Qin, if it weren't for the help of the Earth Goddess and the Holy Monk Daoji, would the esteemed Right Prime Minister, his high-ranking wife, and his spoiled and arrogant son have come together to apologize to me?" Hong Xiuying asked.

Prime Minister Qin: "..."

After a moment of silence, he let out a long breath and said sincerely, "Miss Hong, I've investigated. You have a mother-in-law and a younger brother-in-law in the mortal world, and the younger brother-in-law is only seven years old..."

I'm not trying to threaten you with this, I just want to say that the deceased are gone, and the living must live well.

If you're willing to give Qin Huan a chance, I can guarantee your mother-in-law a peaceful old age and your brother-in-law a life of wealth and honor!

Hong Xiuying's expression froze slightly as she recalled how good her mother-in-law had been to her, and her mindset gradually began to change.

Qin Xiangguo was a shrewd man. After noticing the change in her expression, he said again, "In front of the Earth Goddess and the Holy Monk Daoji, I hereby swear to Heaven that I will keep my promise. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning."

Hong Xiuying pondered for a long time, then turned to Qin Huan and asked, "Are you really willing to become a nun?"

Qin Huan nodded emphatically: "I'm willing!"

"and many more."

Qin Yao suddenly said, "You can become a monk anywhere, but not at Lingyin Temple."

Qin Huan: "..."

"I'll take this beast to Hongji Temple and have him become a monk," said Prime Minister Qin.

"Grandma Earth, please take the infant spirit back," Hong Xiuying said, turning around.

The Qin family of three was overjoyed and all looked expectantly at the Earth Goddess.

However, faced with these three longing gazes, the Earth Goddess shrugged and said, "The infant spirit has taken root in my flesh, and I have no way to remove it."

"Ah?" Qin Huan exclaimed in surprise.

The Earth Goddess ignored his exclamation and instead secretly observed his reaction.

In fact, she wasn't incapable of removing the spirit of the aborted fetus; she simply wanted to use this opportunity to see if the spirit was truly repentant.

If not, then Hong Xiuying's word doesn't count, lest she harm the poor mother-in-law and brother-in-law again.

At this moment, Qin Huan sat down heavily on the ground, completely lost and muttering to himself, "Could this be the will of Heaven?"

Prime Minister Qin sighed: "He has brought this upon himself; however, even so, as long as Miss Hong is willing to forgive this beast, I will keep my promise."

The Earth Goddess gave him a deep look and chuckled, "Don't despair yet. Just because I can't do this doesn't mean the Holy Monk can't."

The Qin Prime Minister's family: "..."

In an instant, the three men's spirits soared from the depths of despair to the heavens. Qin Huan knelt all the way to Qin Yao and kowtowed heavily, pleading, "Holy Monk, please give me a chance."

Qin Yao glanced meaningfully at the Earth Goddess, then said to the family of three, "Let's settle some accounts in front of everyone."

Recently, the Prime Minister of Qin dispatched his henchmen to forcibly prevent Lingyin Temple from rebuilding the Grand Stele Pavilion, thus initiating the provocation.

So I went to Lingyin Temple on behalf of them to seek an explanation, but what was the result?
The Prime Minister of Qin served me poisoned tea. If I had drunk that tea then, I wouldn't be standing here right now.

That's why, after I heard that Hong Xiuying had been humiliated by Qin Huan, I helped her remove the relic from Qin Huan's neck as a response to Qin Xiangguo's provocation and the poisoned tea. That's not too much to ask, is it?
So here's the question: why should I offer to help?

If you repay evil with good, how will you repay good?

Prime Minister Qin: "..."

Even he was speechless at this moment when faced with the holy monk who stood on the moral high ground.

As for the other monks and pilgrims, they looked at the family of three with even stranger expressions.

"Prime Minister Qin, is there any falsehood in what Daoji said?" Yuan Kong asked.

Prime Minister Qin smiled bitterly and said, "There is no falsehood... but I was previously bewitched by a sorcerer and mistook the holy monk for a demon monk, which is why I had that cup of poisoned tea."

Yuan Kong sighed helplessly, "If that's the case, there's nothing I can do to help you."

The Prime Minister of Qin let out a soft breath and said, "How can the Holy Monk forgive me?"

"First, resign from your position as Right Chancellor. You bear a great deal of responsibility for how your wife and children have become like this. From now on, focus on managing your household and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors."

Secondly, give away all your wealth to help the poor. There's not much to say about this; consider it an act of forgiveness for your son.

Third, proactively go to the City God Temple, explain the situation, and avoid the City God holding the Earth Goddess responsible. "Qin Yao said.

The Prime Minister of Qin bowed deeply: "Holy Monk, you are just and just. I am completely convinced and will obey your command."

Qin Yao nodded, turned the palm-leaf fan, and pulled the infant spirit out of Qin Huan's body, suspending it in front of everyone. He then asked Hong Xiuying, "Do you still want this child? If not, I will send it into reincarnation."

"Can I still take it?" Hong Xiuying asked, her eyes lighting up and her voice trembling.

"With me here, we can do it," Qin Yao said with a smile.

Hong Xiuying said without hesitation, "I want it!"

Qin Yao nodded, fanned himself with his palm leaf fan, and transformed the infant spirit into a spirit infant. With a flick of his wrist, he pulled it into Hong Xiuying's body: "Take good care of the fetus. This child will surely be extraordinary in the future."

Hong Xiuying's eyes quickly filled with tears, and she knelt down to express her gratitude: "Holy Monk, you are merciful."

"Amitabha." Yuan Kong smiled and put his hands together in prayer.

"Where is the Earth Goddess?" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the sky.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a golden-armored deity standing in the void, looking down at them.

"It came pretty quickly."

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Earth Goddess, take Prime Minister Qin to the City God Temple to explain. If the City God still insists on punishing you, then have Prime Minister Qin come back to me."

“Yes, Holy Monk,” the Earth Goddess said, bowing.

half an hour.

With the departure of the Earth Goddess, the Qin family, and Hong Xiuying, Lingyin Temple returned to its former tranquility. Guangliang suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Daoji, Daoji, you've miscalculated one thing."

Qin Yao asked curiously, "What is it?"

Guangliang turned and pointed to the Great Stele Tower, saying, "You should have let Prime Minister Qin fund the construction of the Great Stele Tower... Now look what's happened, after all this work, Lingyin Temple hasn't gotten any benefit at all."

Qin Yao: "..."

"Shut up."

Yuan Kong raised his hand and slapped Guang Liang on the forehead, saying lightly, "What benefits do you, a monk, want?"

Guangliang: "..."

Qin Yao smiled and shook his head, saying softly, "Abbot, I'm going to continue begging for alms."

Yuan Kong smiled and said, "Go ahead, be careful on the road..."

Not long after, Qin Yao left Lingyin Temple feeling refreshed and said as he walked, "System, display Daoji's merit details."

[By converting Qin Huan, you have gained 30 merit points.]

[Saving Hong Xiuying and her child earns 69 merit points.]

The current total merit points for Daoji are 148.

"Thirty, sixty-nine, a story with ninety-nine points?"

Qin Yao's face lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but start looking forward to what would happen next.

But then he thought of the protagonist of the next episode, and suddenly stopped in his tracks, his expression subtle.

In the original work, the key character in the next story is Rouge, who is the bride whom Li Xiuyuan ran away from.

Now, because of him, the wedding is over, the Li family's accusations against Rouge are over, and Rouge's suicide attempt is over. So, in what direction will fate take?
In other words, if Rouge still appears under the power of destiny, he will lose his invincible prophetic abilities in this unit. Whatever trouble he encounters will test his adaptability and wisdom.

……

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. Qin Yao, who had been leaving early and returning late every day, did not encounter any more destiny-related opportunities, as if the opportunity had reached its cooling-off period.

On the evening of the eighth day, Qin Yao, feeling listless, returned to the Zen temple ahead of schedule. There, he saw Abbot Yuan Kong entertaining guests in the pavilion in the courtyard. Sitting directly opposite him was an old nun, and next to her stood a tall, beautiful young woman in a red dress.

Upon seeing the girl, Qin Yao's eyelids twitched, and he immediately turned around without hesitation.

"Daoji!" Yuan Kong caught a glimpse of him in the pavilion and suddenly called out.

Qin Yao paused, then turned around with a smile: "Abbot."

"Since you're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Yuan Kong asked, puzzled.

Qin Yao explained, "It's mainly because I remembered there's something I haven't done yet."

“For you, anything that doesn’t need immediate attention is definitely not important.” Yuan Kong smiled and waved, “Come here quickly, let me introduce you to a master.”

Qin Yao pursed his lips and slowly walked to the outside of the pavilion. There he saw the girl in red looking at him with bright eyes, her eyes sparkling as if she wanted to see right through him.

"This is the nun from the Southern Frontier, and next to her is her disciple, Rouge," Yuan Kong said with a smile.

Qin Yao clasped his hands together and said gently, "Amitabha, this humble monk Daoji greets the nun Fanxing."

Fanxing nodded slightly: "I have long heard of the name of the Holy Monk and Living Buddha. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary."

Qin Yao silently lowered his arms and said, "You flatter me, Divine Nun. If there's nothing else..."

"May I ask the holy monk's secular name?" Rouge suddenly interrupted.

Fanxing looked at her young disciple with surprise. In her memory, the other party should not be so rude.

Qin Yao said without changing his expression, "I forgot."

“Holy monk, monks do not lie.” A smile suddenly appeared on Rouge’s beautiful face as she spoke softly.

Qin Yao said, "I am not lying. If I have not forgotten my past life in the secular world, how can I concentrate on cultivating Buddhism?"

"Does the holy monk wish to become a Buddha?" Rouge paused slightly with a faint smile and asked.

"Yes, don't you want to achieve a happy ending?" Qin Yao asked in return.

Rouge shook her head and said, "I don't want to."

Qin Yaoshi was unwilling to talk to them any longer. He smiled slightly and said loudly, "Abbot Yuankong, Nun Fanxing, and this Miss Rouge, this humble monk will take his leave first."

Watching his retreating figure, Rouge suddenly shouted, "Li Xiuyuan!"

Qin Yao pretended not to hear, and without stopping, he walked out of the meditation room in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Kong blinked, and suddenly understood why Daoji had left earlier...

"May I ask, Abbot, what is this holy monk's secular name?" Rouge asked, turning her head after watching the figure disappear completely.

Yuan Kong said, "Only he can answer this question for you."

rouge:"……"

“Alright, if that’s the case, then I’ll go back to Tiantai Mountain and ask a member of the Li family to come and take a good look at whether this Daoji Holy Monk is indeed Li Xiuyuan.” She said firmly after a short while.

"Miss Rouge, why do you think he is Li Xiuyuan?" Yuan Kong asked.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Rouge's eyes as she slowly said, "I grew up with Li Xiuyuan. We were childhood sweethearts. His eyebrows and eyes clearly resemble Li Xiuyuan after he grew up."

Yuan Kong seemed to be thinking about something, and then said, "If I may be so bold as to ask, what exactly is your relationship with Li Xiuyuan?"

Outside the temple.

Yellow grassland.

Just as Qin Yao was pondering how to face Rouge, Bai Ling's voice suddenly rang out from inside his sleeve: "Monk, you seem quite afraid of that Rouge girl?"

"Stop joking, how could I be afraid of her?" Qin Yao retorted.

"Then why are you running?" Bai Ling asked.

Qin Yao shook his head and said, "She and I had a past relationship, but my mindset has changed now, and I don't want to have any more romantic entanglements."

But the more time she spends with someone, the more she can easily become entangled in their relationship, especially if they go through things together. That would be detrimental to everyone involved.

Bai Ling pondered for a moment and asked, "Then aren't you afraid that if you spend more time with me, something might happen?"

Qin Yao chuckled: "Nonsense, isn't it because you have someone you like?"

"If you have someone you like, you can still fall in love with someone else, right?" Bai Ling said meaningfully.

"Stop with your little schemes. I won't let you go just because of that," Qin Yao said succinctly.

Bai Ling: "..."

After a moment of silence, she brought the topic back to the original question: "Then there's no need to hide, right? Wouldn't it be more effective to be frank and open about it, or to resolutely sever ties, than to run away?"

"It's no use," Qin Yao said with absolute certainty.

Bai Ling asked in surprise, "You've tried it?"

Qin Yao remained silent.

He actually tried it.

In the world of "The Legend of Nezha", neither speaking frankly nor ruthlessly severing ties with Ao Cunxin makes any difference.

Instead, they avoided each other and prevented any contact, successfully dragging it out until the other person was reincarnated, and only then did time slowly erase the karmic entanglement...

To put it bluntly, if we don't see each other, it's naturally difficult to have any entanglement.

Based on this successful experience, Qin Yao stayed outside the temple for nearly a month before secretly returning to Lingyin Temple...

Under a clear blue sky.

Qin Yao stood on golden clouds, hovering above Lingyin Temple. He breathed a slight sigh of relief when he confirmed that there were no nuns or rouge scents in the temple, and then descended from the clouds with a wave of his sleeve.

"Master~"

To his utter surprise, the moment his feet touched the ground, a joyful voice rang out from inside the main hall.

Qin Yao paused slightly, looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a young man dressed as a servant striding over, saying excitedly, "I never expected you to still be alive!"

High in the sky, Rouge descended on clouds, looking down at the scene below, her eyes slowly narrowing... (End of Chapter)
