Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Ximen Yang quietly returned to the capital and went back to the Ximen residence.

Lord Ximen and his wife were puzzled as to why their son had returned home as if a thief had broken in.

Ximen Yang: "My son wants to fake his death for a while..."

Lord Ximen and his wife: "What? What are you going to do?"

Ximen Yang: "Fake death!"

Ximen Yangjiang recounted his experiences while following Huangfu Qianrou.

Upon hearing that Huangfu Qianrou was causing trouble everywhere, the two frowned deeply, but said nothing.

But when she heard that Huangfu Qianrou had provoked the Demonic Sect and that she and her guards had run away first, leaving their son to face the ruthless members of the Demonic Sect, Madam Ximen let out a wail and cried and cursed, "Why doesn't this troublemaker just die?! What princess? She's just an illegitimate daughter of unknown mother, yet she has harmed my son."

Lord Ximen also sighed.

He shouldn't have let his son become the princess's fiancé back then.

He originally thought it would be nice to marry a princess, since there was no rule in the dynasty that prohibited a prince consort from participating in politics.

Who would have thought that the emperor would pull such a crazy stunt, arranging four fiancés for his daughter, making the four generals suffer endless ridicule.

The emperor even raised his own princess to be a menace, almost causing the death of his own son.

The two of them understood Ximen Yang's thoughts.

Ximen Yang wanted to take advantage of several opportunities to "disappear" or "die".

Once Huangfu Qianrou gets married, he will pretend to be discovered and brought back by the Ximen family.

After all, it was the emperor's daughter who caused someone to be seriously injured and disappear, and was suspected of being dead. Could the emperor still pursue the person for the "crime of deceiving the emperor"?
After discussing it, the family of three arranged for Ximen Yang to go to the estate owned by Madam Ximen's dowry outside the city.

Madam Ximen's dowry estate was located at the foot of the mountain, and that mountain was also considered part of the estate's assets.

Ximen Yang wanted to build a house in the mountains so he could retreat there and recuperate.

If you get bored, you can go hunting in the mountains.

Ximen Yang: "I need to go see Liu Tong first and thank him in person."

Lord Ximen: "Wouldn't that mean one more person would know you're still alive?"

Ximen Yang: "I am only alive because of the talisman that Liu Dong gave me."

Lord Ximen: "I'll go with you."

Ximen Yang stopped him: "No, Father, you're too conspicuous. People will become suspicious."

Lord Ximen: "Alright, I'll have someone take you there."

Lord Ximen gave his personal guards to Ximen Yang and escorted him to Liu Dong's residence.

Upon arriving at Liu Dong's residence, they found the other three people there as well.

"We've been waiting for you." Beitang Jing smiled.

Ximen Yang exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Beitang Jing: "The news of your 'death' has already reached the capital, and we thought you would come looking for Liu Tong."

Ximen Yang: "Huh? How do you know I'm not dead?"

Beitang Jing and Dongfang Wenyi took out their protective amulets.

Ximen Yang understood.

Ximen Yang said to Liu Tong, "Liu Tong, could you give me three more? I want to give one to each of my parents."

Upon hearing this, Beitang Jing quickly said, "Give me another one."

He wanted it for his own mother.

As for his biological father, forget about it.

Liu smiled, took out a few amulets, and distributed them to the three of them.

Dongfang Wenyi: "I've already talked to my parents and decided to become a monk." Ximen Yang and Beitang Jing were shocked: "You're going to become a monk? You really want to become a monk? You're going to never marry again because of Huangfu Qianrou?"

"If you have no bloodline of your own, what will happen to your family line after you die?"

Dongfang Wenyi smiled. After he started cultivating, his lifespan increased along with his cultivation level.

Centuries later, even if the Dongfang family lineage were to be severed, he would still be alive.

Why would he care about the incense offerings?

Liu Tong: "Did your parents agree?"

Dongfang Wenyi: "They have already agreed."

In fact, once Dongfang Wenyi became one of the princess's four fiancés, the Dongfang family had already given up on him and were secretly grooming his younger brother.

Lord Dongfang and his wife both felt guilty towards Dongfang Wenyi, and they generally wouldn't object to what Dongfang Wenyi wanted to do.

Moreover, the Dongfang family did not want Huangfu Qianrou to be their daughter-in-law.

Madam Dongfang thought that Dongfang Wenyi's becoming a monk was a way to avoid Huangfu Qianrou, and said to him, "After that princess gets married, you will return to secular life and go home to marry Wanqiu. I will talk to the Lin family and have Wanqiu wait for you."

"No need," Dongfang Wenyi said. "My son has no intention of returning to secular life, nor does he want to delay his cousin."

Madam Dongfang asked in surprise, "Don't you like Wanqiu?"

How could he possibly abandon such a beautiful woman to become a monk?

Dongfang Wenyi: "My son doesn't like his cousin. He just thinks she's more suitable to be a good wife and mother than a princess."

Madam Dongfang agreed: "That's true."

Lady Dongfang and Lord Dongfang were very saddened by Dongfang Wenyi's decision to become a monk, but since Dongfang Wenyi insisted, they agreed.

He felt even more resentment towards the Emperor and Huangfu Qianrou, thinking, "Why couldn't those two have died sooner?!"
Unbeknownst to the emperor, his blunder had alienated four loyal ministers, all of whom had chosen his son.

Dongfang Wenyi's decision to become a monk requires some reasons and sensationalism.

Otherwise, to become a monk so casually would be disrespectful to the royal family.

So, not long after Ximen Yang left the capital, a stone Buddha emerged from the ground not far from the gate of the Dongfang Mansion.

The stone Buddha "grew" out of the ground in full view of everyone!
This is simply a miracle.

The stone Buddha held a stone slab with an inscription that said the eldest son of the Dongfang family was destined to be with the Buddha and had come to convert him.

Because of the "miracle," no one doubted the words and they all advised the Dongfang family to quickly send the eldest son of the Dongfang family to a temple to be ordained as a monk.

At this moment, no one thought that Dongfang Wenyi was still engaged to the princess.

Even if the emperor thought of it, he wouldn't bring up the marriage agreement again, since his daughter still had three... two more fiancés.

And so, Dongfang Wenyi successfully became a monk.

Before becoming a monk, he personally "invited" the "stone Buddha" that had grown out of the soil into his own courtyard.

In the courtyard, Liu Dong was eating a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts.

Dongfang Wenyi exclaimed, "I never imagined that sprouting beans could generate such great power."

Liu Tong: "Therefore, never underestimate any person, thing, or event. Some things, even if they are small, can change the world when combined."

"Amitabha, this humble monk understands. Thank you for your guidance, benefactor." Dongfang Wenyi raised his right palm and smiled.

Liu rolled her eyes at him: "You haven't even become a monk yet."

Dongfang Wenyi: "It'll only take a few days. I'll get used to it first."

Liu Qiu: "Do you think Huangfu Qianrou will come to the temple to bother you after she comes back?"

Dongfang Wenyi shuddered: "This humble monk has decided to travel the world."

Liu Dong chuckled: "Don't be so afraid. Huangfu Qianrou has no time to bother you right now. She's enjoying the pursuit of two handsome men and has no time for anything else."

Dongfang Wenyi: "Besides Xiao Luoyu, who else?" (End of Chapter)
