Chapter 243 - 242: The Fool and His Money Are Soon Parted
Mu Xi leaped over, stretching his hand directly in front of Qin Liuxi.
In fact, while Qin Liuxi was conversing with Yu Changkong, she noticed Mu Xi sneaking and tiptoeing over in a secretive manner. She thought to herself that this Heir Mu must truly be a simpleton; the main hall is square and open, no place to hide, yet he insisted on furtively approaching.
Qin Liuxi glanced sideways at Heir Mu and asked, "Why has the Princely Heir come as well?"
"Qingping Temple is a place for people to offer incense and worship the gods. Why can’t I come? Surely the Junior Temple Master won’t selectively choose believers based on who they are?" Heir Mu raised his hand and said, "Hurry up, tie a Peace Talisman for me too."
Yu Changkong said, "Perhaps I could help tie it for the Princely Heir?"
Mu Xi withdrew his hand and replied, "What are you tying? You’re just a devotee, not a Daoist from the temple. Your tying won’t be effective."
As he spoke, he had his followers donate a silver note for incense oil, then looked towards Qin Liuxi and said, "The Princely Heir has donated incense money too, so I qualify to request for peace now, right?"
Qin Liuxi, with keen eyes, caught a glimpse of the amount on the incense money, her smile broadened: "The Princely Heir jests. Any believer who enters the temple, regardless of whether they donate incense money or not, as long as the divine is in their heart, can certainly pray for peace."
She got a red string from Qing Yuan and tied it on his fair wrist, saying, "Good people are greatly kind; the Grandmaster will bless you."
Mu Xi was indifferent to these words, but he was quite satisfied with the red string Qin Liuxi had tied for him. Turning his wrist, the red against his white skin looked rather charming.
Seeing that Qin Liuxi and Yu Changkong were about to leave, he became anxious and asked, "Where are you going?"
