My enemies became my companions

Chapter 181 Take a Breath

The one-armed woman waited for a long time but couldn't find the right opportunity, so she turned her back and walked away silently.

She came to him just to explain some things, but in fact, if she wanted to do those things, it didn't matter whether she explained them or not.

What's more, she was proud by nature and didn't want to see Chen Yi at this time.

In the shadow of the tree branches, everything was silent except for her back which disappeared into the darkness. It looked a little desolate from Chen Yi's direction, but Chen Yi did not notice that she had been there from beginning to end.

The next morning, Chen Yi was awakened by the sound of chanting in the distance. The eminent monk from the Western Regions and the crazy sutra master had both woken up. In the temple, the morning bells and evening drums rang, and they had been chanting sutras a thousand times before daybreak.

There was a rustling sound in his arms. Chen Yi looked down and saw Yin Tingxue rubbing her eyes and waking up.

Catching his gaze, the little fox shrank back out of habit, then said in confusion and timidly:

"Boy friend?"

Chen Yi kissed her forehead lovingly and responded:
"girlfriend."

Yin Tingxue smiled, just because he did not turn his back on her, he really became her boyfriend.

Come to think of it, friends shouldn’t get pregnant...that would be so embarrassing.

When Yin Tingxue thought of this, she felt somewhat relieved. This time, Chen Yi was finally tricked by her.

Listening to the chanting, Yin Tingxue was in a good mood and followed the chanting: "Thus I have heard, once, the Buddha was in the Jetavana Grove in the country of Savatthi..."

Chen Yi listened for a long time, but he really didn't understand and felt a little confused.

"Stop reading. It gives me a headache." Chen Yi said with a smile.

Yin Tingxue glanced at him, a little timid, but still mustered up the courage to say:

"These Buddhist scriptures are full of truth, but you have a headache after listening to them. Are you Monkey King?"

Chen Yi knocked her head and said coldly:
"I haven't seen the golden hoop in the past few days. You've become braver."

Yin Tingxue suddenly wilted and said hurriedly:
"Do not get angry."

"Why aren't you angry?"

"Because I..." Yin Tingxue thought for a while and said softly, "I am your girlfriend."

She also carefully took Chen Yi's hand.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Say it again."

"I'm your girlfriend."

Chen Yi hugged her tighter and smiled in her ear.

Seeing that he was happy, Yin Tingxue was especially accommodating to his wishes. They were friends now, and if he bullied her again in the future, he could use his friendship as an excuse. He would think twice then.

After being with him for so long, she finally had more status.

Yin Tingxue raised her eyebrows. The girl's mind was full of thoughts and she started to have random thoughts for no apparent reason.

My relationship with Chen Yi has become closer. If Master Zhou finds out, she won't be angry, right?
I became his friend and secretly disliked him, but he wouldn't know, right?

Could it be that I could actually be happier with him?

Chen Yi noticed the girl's little joy.

After hugging her, Chen Yi let her go. She carefully picked up the paper flower and looked at it in the sunlight.

The paper flowers are beautiful, with the edges dyed golden by the sunlight.

Yin Tingxue put it quietly into her pocket. This was a token of her love and she had to carry it with her.

"What sutra are they chanting?" Chen Yi suddenly asked.

Yin Tingxue said briskly: "Diamond Sutra - All appearances are false, you should have heard this sentence."

Not long after, the two monks stopped chanting, and a high monk from the Western Regions slowly walked over from a distance.

After the greetings, he said:

"Donor, it's time to set off." Chen Yi naturally agreed, and had packed his luggage while they were chanting.

So, the group began a long journey. In order to avoid being hunted down, they walked to a place quite far away from the ruins of the Hehuan Sect.

The two monks were walking in front, keeping a considerable distance from them.

It would take quite some time to go back now, and we had to be careful of traps and possible attacks along the way, so we didn't walk very fast.

Today is the winter solstice. It is still chilly in the mountains. Snow is falling everywhere, making the little fox feel cold on his forehead. When he looked up, he saw the little white flowers in his name, which were scattered here and there. It was not snow, but fine snow.

Two monks were walking in front, not speaking a word. The mountain path was cold and quiet. They didn't know how long they had been walking before they saw a corner of the inn rising up among the snow-covered trees.

The group walked towards the inn to gather information and take a short rest.

The whereabouts of Master Wuxiang's robes caused a stir in half of the Dayu martial arts world. Inside the small inn in front of them, people were toasting each other and making a lot of noise. From outside the door, one could see the waiter busying around.

"Have you heard that the Annan Palace is offering a reward of 1,000 taels to kill Chen Yi?"

"Chen Yi, are you talking about the captain of the Western Depot who made the great contribution in saving the emperor?"

"Who else could it be but him? The evil queen destroyed the Lin Party, which was just Qin destroying Qin, dog biting dog. She has been ruling the country behind the scenes for so many years, doing things that Empress Lu did. She should be killed by everyone. What's more, the hatred between the Annan Palace and the evil queen is so great. This time the troops arrived in the capital but had to return empty-handed. This Chen Yi has long been a thorn in the prince's flesh!"

"The royal palace is powerful and has a reputation of being a worthy buyer. If they go against the King of Annan, isn't he just like a toothpick stirring up a big pot?"

Even though they were still some distance away from the inn, Yin Tingxue could hear the conversation inside.

She blinked, turned her head and asked:
"What does it mean to stir the vat with a toothpick?"

Chen Yi twitched his lips, not knowing how to explain.

After thinking about it, he said casually:
“They said I was overestimating myself, but they were wrong.”

"Why is it wrong?" The little fox looked puzzled.

Chen Yi thought for a moment and took out a water bag from his bag. He asked Yin Tingxue to open her mouth, and after she obeyed, he poured the water into her mouth.

Clear water gurgled out of the corners of her mouth. Yin Tingxue slapped Chen Yi's thigh in panic. She now understood why she was wrong.

"You can't drink anymore." Chen Yi scratched her nose teasingly.

Yin Tingxue's face was filled with shame and anger, but fortunately there was no one around except the two of them, and the monks walked quickly and far away from them, so no one noticed that he was bullying them.

"After this is over, I will kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. You have to cooperate to create a good atmosphere. Do you understand?"

"How, how do we cooperate?"

"Just help take a breath."

The group approached the inn. The Western monk and the crazy sutra master came in and sat down casually. But when Chen Yi, wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a knife and a sword on his back, stepped over the threshold, the whole inn fell silent.

The atmosphere in the inn suddenly became cold and the waiter looked around in confusion.

Chen Yi randomly found an empty table and sat down with Yin Tingxue. All the eyes in the inn were staring at him, as if a thousand taels of gold were within reach.

Chen Yi turned to the waiter and said, "Serve whatever you want."

The waiter, who was confused for a moment, came to his senses and hurried to the kitchen.

The atmosphere in the inn suddenly became tense, and no one dared to speak loudly. The drinker who had just said something about a toothpick stirring a large jar came over with a bowl of wine in his hand, laughing.
"I have heard of Captain Chen's great name..."

Before the wine bowl was handed over, Chen Yi grabbed the chopsticks on the table and stabbed the drinker in the eye.

There was a sound of bone cracking, and the drunkard's eyeballs burst open. There was a piece of chopsticks on the back of his head. He fell down with a thud, and the badge of Prince An's Mansion slipped out from his waist.

The inn suddenly became as quiet as the Dead Sea.

Chen Yi turned his head.

The little fox took one look and immediately understood.

"hiss."

In the complete silence, she took a deep breath at the right moment, helping to create a solemn atmosphere.
