Chapter 32: Then… Wha… What if… Chapter 

Lin Xun walked ahead, and Ruo Wangchen quietly followed behind him.

Because Ruo Wangchen was truly too beautiful, people constantly turned their heads to look.

If Jiang Nongqin had appeared on the street instead, the gazes directed at her would definitely carry the scent of a pervert, as Jiang Nongqin’s figure was too exaggerated.

But Ruo Wangchen was not like that.

In the eyes looking at Ruo Wangchen, besides amazement at her beauty, there was only appreciation; no one harbored any wicked thoughts.

It was as if this woman was right before you, yet impossibly far away, making people afraid to approach, or even hesitant to get close.

They feared that if they approached this pure maiden, the wickedness in their hearts would be seen clearly by those transparent eyes.

However, this girl’s gaze continuously followed his back, and in those transparent eyes, there was only him.

As they walked, everyone was suddenly stunned, because while they were watching, the man and the incredibly holy maiden suddenly vanished.

For a moment, everyone felt slightly dazed, as if they were dreaming.

In reality, Lin Xun had used the Secret Technique of “Shrinking the Ground into an Inch” to arrive in front of his courtyard.

Since Lin Xun used a Secret Technique, it meant he no longer intended to hide his identity.

In fact, Lin Xun also knew that he hadn’t managed to conceal his identity at all.

He knew this just by turning his head and looking into Ruo Wangchen’s clear eyes.

After Lin Xun used the Secret Technique, there was no surprise whatsoever in Ruo Wangchen’s eyes; she simply kept blinking and looking at him.

The reason Lin Xun had always worried about encountering Ruo Wangchen was because she possessed a Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, Pure and Spotless.

Even if he used a Great Dao Secret Technique to conceal his Spiritual Energy and Roots, he still couldn’t deceive her.

“My name is Lin Pei.” He sighed internally, looking at the Simple-minded maiden.

“Hmm?” The Simple-minded maiden’s eyes filled with confusion. She didn’t know why Lin Xun had changed his name to Lin Pei.

“In short, my name is Lin Pei now.” Lin Xun felt helpless. Perhaps because the Exquisite Heart was too clear, the girl remained naive; she could see people’s hearts and everything in the world.

But “seeing” didn’t necessarily mean “understanding.”

“Mm.” Ruo Wangchen nodded, indicating that she understood.

“What exactly do you know?” Lin Xun stretched out his hand, subconsciously wanting to pinch her pure little face, but halfway through, he realized that doing so was inappropriate.

Ruo Wangchen looked at Lin Xun, then looked at his broad hand hanging in the air.

The maiden reached out her fair, delicate hand, gently grasped Lin Xun’s palm, and placed the thick, calloused hand lightly against her tender cheek.

Lin Xun felt like he had been electrocuted and wanted to pull back immediately, but he was afraid that if he used any force, that fair, delicate little face might get scratched.

“Sigh.”

Looking at her incomparably pure eyes, Lin Xun’s heart was filled with complexity.

Gently withdrawing his hand, Lin Xun shook his head: “Come inside first.”

Lin Xun opened the courtyard gate and led Ruo Wangchen inside. The maiden curiously looked around.

Walking next to the Clothes Rack, the maiden looked at the women’s clothing hanging on it, blinked, and a hint of darkness flashed in her eyes.

However, that “Clothes Rod” seemed to have met a friend, excitedly Clanging.

Lin Xun walked over and slapped the “Clothes Rod,” which finally quieted down.

Ruo Wangchen, however, pouted her rosy cheeks and spread her Lotus-root Arms to separate Lin Xun, intending to protect the Clothes Rod.

The “Clothes Rod” happily let out another Clanging sound, resulting in another slap from Lin Xun.

The maiden, who failed to stop her “Clothes Rod” friend from being bullied, felt a bit guilty and gently stroked the spot where Lin Xun had just slapped it.

The “Clothes Rod” was so moved it was almost crying.

Sure enough, Lin Xun, that scumbag, was unreliable. Once he got a wife, he forgot about it, and even hung his underwear on it every day. Only this silly girl was good to it.

“Alright, stop touching it, come over and drink tea quickly.” Lin Xun shook his head again, wondering why the Abbot of the Bodhi Holy Land had accepted such a Simple-minded girl as a Disciple.

He didn’t know what the maiden quietly said to the “Clothes Rod,” but after a moment, she trotted over and obediently sat across from Lin Xun, still quietly looking at him.

Lin Xun felt this wasn’t going to work; he had to explain clearly, otherwise, he always felt like he was cheating—what was going on?

“Miss Ruo, first of all, let me repeat: my name is no longer Lin Xun. I am Lin Pei.”

“Mm.” The maiden, whose hands rested on her proportionate thighs, was still slightly confused but nodded nonetheless.

“Next, don’t tell anyone about my situation. I have too many enemies and am heavily injured. If others find out, I’ll be chased down and killed.”

“Mm…”

The maiden continued to nod, as if she would believe every word Lin Xun said, even if it were a lie.

“…I am married.” Lin Xun confessed. “Her name is Jiang Qing, and she is an ordinary Mortal Woman.”

“Mm…”

“Sigh… It’s still the same thing: don’t tell anyone that I saved you, and don’t get involved with me in any way, okay?”

Lin Xun spoke a string of words, but this time, Ruo Wangchen did not reply.

The maiden simply lowered her Delicate Head, the disappointment in her eyes growing heavier. Beneath the table, her long, Jade-like Fingers rubbed her skirt.

She didn’t speak, seeming to be deep in thought. Lin Xun wasn’t anxious either; he just waited for her to speak.

To be honest, Lin Xun didn’t know if this girl truly liked him. In his view, her feelings for him were more like “Repaying a Kindness” rather than romantic love between a man and a woman.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Lin Xun stopped waiting.

He needed to cut the knot quickly. Leaving aside the fact that he was already married, the Buddhist Exquisite Heart was extremely rare; historically, everyone who possessed one had Attained Enlightenment in the Ascension Realm.

She shouldn’t be entangled with him, a Demonic Son, nor could he delay her Great Dao.

“Let’s go.” Lin Xun stood up and patted his backside. “I still have a little time. I’ll see you out of the city.”

Without waiting for Ruo Wangchen’s reply, Lin Xun was already walking out of the courtyard.

Just like their interactions before, when he walked, she walked; when he stopped, she stopped, simply following behind Lin Xun with her head bowed.

Lin Xun felt that if he took this Simple-minded, silly girl to a Brothel, she would probably help him count the money.

Once outside the city, Lin Xun plucked a blade of grass and put it in his mouth: “Alright, go on now. Don’t be obsessed with your Big Brother. Big Brother is just a legend. Besides, I don’t like Nuns.”

Having said that, Lin Xun turned to leave, but the corner of his clothing was pulled back again.

He turned around. The girl raised her head, her Almond Eyes glistening:

“Then wha… what if I wasn’t a Nun… C-could you possibly like me?”
