"Amitabha!"

A melodious Buddhist chant came from the door. The voice was calm and mellow, as if it could bring people back to the peaceful Buddhist world in an instant. It made people's minds clear.

However, Shen Ninghua was not affected in the slightest. She raised her head and looked at the entrance of the main hall. A monk dressed in a monk's robe was standing at the entrance, slowly stepping into the main hall.

Only when they reached the door did Empress Zhao Huiying regain his senses and stand up. "Master Chen."

Wu Chen clasped his hands together, the buddhist beads in his hands emitting a gentle light. "Greetings, esteemed empress."

"Master, please excuse me."

Wu Chen bowed to the people below him. Everyone then nodded their heads in response. In the end, his gaze landed on Shen Ninghua.

When their gazes met, Shen Ninghua's eyes couldn't help but flicker. There was clearly no smile on his face, but he seemed to be smiling to himself, like a high and mighty Buddha. His smile was so compassionate and compassionate that it made one's heart relax.

"Greetings, Princess Zhao Hua." Wu Chen stepped forth and saluted Shen Ninghua. His actions were exactly the same as when he saw the empress earlier, attracting the gazes of the crowd.

Shen Ninghua got up and said, "Master, you're being too polite. Today is the day of my marriage. I'm honored by your presence."

Wu Chen smiled and shook his head before nodding his head. He then said, "I have come today to bother you. Princess is overjoyed today. How about I give you a gift?"

"How dare you accept the master's gift."

"No, to be honest, this gift wasn't from a poor monk. It was given to me by the princess' grandfather."

Shen Ninghua's pupils constricted and she couldn't help furrowing her brows. "Grandfather?"

"That's right, this is a gift from Old Grand Preceptor Xia to the princess' birth mother. It's a pity that I wasn't able to return before your mother passed away from studying in the Great Yue State. I heard that you were going to marry someone else, so I chose today to fulfill my old friend's wish."

Many officials lowered their heads and thought of the once prosperous Xia Clan. They could not help but sigh. Back then, the Xia Clan was a flourishing family with many reputations. It could be said that they were the most prosperous family clans.

Who would have thought that in less than a month, the Xia family's direct daughter, the Xia family's patriarch, and the entire Xia family would be wiped out. Other than the daughter of the husband, almost no one escaped.

Shen Ninghua looked at the envelope that Wu Chen was holding. With an increasingly chilly gaze, she replied, "Master Wu Chen, I think you're mistaken."

Everyone was stunned. Wrong?

Empress Zhao Hui Ying frowned, "Ning Hua, how can you speak to Master Chen like this?"

Shen Ninghua bowed to Zhao Huoying and said, "Imperial Mother, it's not that I'm suspicious of Grandmaster Chen, but there's one thing that I don't understand. I also want to ask Grandmaster Chen."

"Princess, please speak."

"My mother passed away early, and I've never seen my grandfather before. But, everyone knows, my grandfather doted on my mother, isn't that right?"

"Yes, old friend Xia is indeed very protective of your mother."

Shen Ninghua coldly looked at the envelope in Wu Chen's hand and mockingly said, "If that's the case, then why would my grandfather leave something poisonous behind for my mother?"

"What?" Poison? "

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Hui Ying looked coldly at the surrounding crowd of people: "Quiet, Xiao Hua, make it clear, what's poisonous?"

Shen Ninghua looked at Wu Chen. "Master, I heard that you're skilled in medicine as well. You should know what I mean, right?" The color of the letter was yellow, and it looked extremely old. However, if you looked carefully, you would be able to see that the yellowish color of the letter was mixed with a fine gold, and that this color was made by soaking in sulphur and salsa.

"That's right. I originally heard about the Princess' beautiful name of the medicine formula, and I still wanted to give it a try. Now, I've become superficial."

Despite being exposed, Wu Chen didn't feel awkward at all. Instead, he took out a bottle of medicinal powder and gently sprinkled it on the envelope. "Princess, you can look at it now."

Shen Ninghua's lips curved up into a smile, "So Grand Master is trying to teach me. It's just that I'm shallow. I thought Grand Master wanted to avenge his beloved disciple."

Once she said this, everyone began to guess what had happened. Back then, Grandmaster Chen had personally accepted Shen Dong's son, Shen Xuan, as his disciple. This caused many people to be extremely envious. It wasn't until later, when Shen Xuan's matter was settled by the Emperor, that the crowd gradually began to forget about his identity. Now that he thought about it, this Shen Xuanyi was the younger brother of Princess Zhao Hua! The younger brother lost in the struggle between brother and sister. How could one not guess the sudden appearance of this master?

The smile on Wu Chen's face remained the same as he continued, "The princess misunderstood me. I was just warning Shen Xuan Ye that he should mind the matters of the mortal world and focus on his cultivation, but he didn't listen to my warning. Life and death are decided by heaven, everything is fated by fate, there is no need to force anything.

Shen Ninghua took the envelope and slowly opened it. "Master is indeed an expert in medicine. Even the Sulfur Poison of Sa Grass can be neutralized with the Immortal Crane Grass. It's clear that the poison has not been removed yet, yet the poison cannot be spread freely. Since you do not wish to take revenge, that would be for the best. "

Chu Junyi stepped forward, looked down at the letter, and clenched her fists tightly.

His fingers trembled slightly. Then, he suddenly squeezed the letter into a ball and placed it on top of a red candle beside him. "Grandmaster Wu Chen values the rules the most. Thinking about it now, have you read the contents of this letter?"

"This humble monk has never seen it."

"En, that's good. Since Grandfather has decided to tell Mother about this matter, I will burn it to Mother. I believe that Mother will be able to read the contents of Grandfather's letter from the underworld. I can be at ease now."

The Crown Prince's gaze swept across the burnt ashes and he couldn't help but frown. Shen Ninghua directly burnt the letter, what exactly was written on it?

Shen Ninghua directly burned the letter and confirmed to Master Chen that he had not read the contents of the letter. Then, this letter was completely known to no one other than her and Chu Junyi. Even if someone found a way to know the contents of the letter, no one would believe it.

Chu Junyi reached out and took Shen Ninghua's fingers. She felt Shen Ninghua's trembling subside, and heaved a sigh of relief. Stepping forward to block the onlookers' line of sight, Chu Junyi said politely, "Master Wu Chen, since you're here, you should have a feast. As a member of the Buddhist Sangha, I'll prepare a table of vegetarian dishes for you."

Xiao Chen smiled as he shook his head. He then looked gently at Shen Ninghua and said, "Princess, you have too much hostility on you. Are you willing to follow this poor monk to cultivate?"

Shen Ninghua's eyes turned cold, "Master, what do you mean by that?"

She clearly didn't want her to live a good life in the future, but who was the one who invited Wu Chen?

I am a good friend of yours, so naturally I do not wish to see his only bloodline go astray. So I accepted you as my last disciple and asked you to follow me for three years.

"Three years?" Shen Ninghua stood by Chu Junyi's side and looked at Master Chen with a smile that was not a smile. "Master, are the Buddhist Sangha people merciful?"

"Naturally."

"Then why is master so vicious?"

She paused for a moment before asking, "What do you mean by 'princess'?"

"Master, do you know what three years means to me?"

"Please enlighten me, Princess."

Shen Ninghua's face was expressionless. "I've already reached the age of one year. If I was in the mortal world, three years would be enough for me to have a son. Three years would be enough for me to live a happy life." If I were to follow the master in cultivating these three years, then when I return after three years, even if I have the title of princess, Prince Consort would still be able to leave me for three years without a child. Even if Prince Consort has deep feelings for me and still wants to be together with me, then Prince Consort will definitely adopt a concubine in these three years. Master just said that my body is too evil, so naturally I'm the best at it. I won't be able to accept you as my concubine.

Everyone was astonished. It was surprising that Shen Ninghua refused to become Grandmaster Chen's last disciple. She even said that Grandmaster Chen was malicious, and they actually felt that it was reasonable …

The smile on Wu Chen's face continued to remain, as though nothing could change his smile. "Princess, your words are too biased. This humble monk was kind to the point that the hostility emanating from the princess was difficult to dispel. Who knows how much unrest would result from staying in the mortal world. Princess Yu also had a great influence on herself, so everyone decided to remind her out of kindness. "

"Master always says that I have too much hostility on me, but Ning Hua thinks that she is still extremely kind. Could it be that Master is not only proficient in medicine, but also in metaphysics?"

"Just a little."

"No wonder the master can see the hostility in me." Shen Ninghua turned to look at Shen Xuanlin, who was anxiously watching her, "Xuanlin, bring the jade pendant that I gave you."

Shen Xuanlin obediently walked over and handed the jade pendant that was placed on his chest over. He then placed it in front of Shen Ninghua and glared furiously at Wu Chen. He didn't know what hostility was, but he knew that this monk harbored malicious intentions.

Shen Ninghua took the jade pendant and patted his shoulder. Then, he held the rope end of the pendant and let the pendant hang in the air, "Master, do you think this pendant of mine will be undamaged today, or will it shatter into pieces?"

Wu Chen smiled and lowered his head. "Amitabha, I said this jade pendant will shatter into pieces."

"Oh? "What can the master discern?"

"No, if this humble monk says that the jade is fine, the princess will definitely let go and let the jade fall. This piece of jade is worth a lot, so rather than breaking, it would be better to keep it. This humble monk can only say that the jade will break, so the princess won't let it fall, but will make me make a mistake. In order to preserve the jade, this humble monk will make a mistake, what's wrong with that? "

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt admiration for him.

"Master is so magnanimous."

"That's right. As expected of Grandmaster Wu Chen. His demeanor is really out of the ordinary."

"Admirable, admirable..."

I just said, this jade pendant was given to my little brother, Shen Xuanlin. Since you gave the jade pendant to someone else, then the jade pendant will no longer be mine, and you need to protect it well or break it to hear it, that is Xuanlin's freedom, everything Master said has nothing to do with the outcome, because you were wrong from the start. "

Wu Chen, a monk, is determined by his words. Who gave you the qualifications to do so!
