Chapter 129: My life is controlled by myself not by the heavens
Chu Qing-Yan stood in place for a moment and just was about to lift her foot to leave when she heard a familiar crisp ringing sound.
She turned around and saw Xu Jian in grey monk robes, behind him were green bamboo, making him seem even taller and more handsome.
"Great Master, long time no see." Chu Qing-Yan bowed to him.
Although last time he wanted to convince her to enter the monastery and offended her. However he had after all saved her both times when she encountered him, so she could not forget the grat.i.tude of being saved.
"Benefactor Chu, I trust you have been well since we last met." Xu Jian smiled, walking towards her step by step.
Although he was dressed in simple monk clothes, it was made from the most famous and valuable Indian silk. Every step he took, the cloth gave off a subdued l.u.s.ter, just like his ident.i.ty. It was indistinct, yet lofty and unapproachable.
"Is Great Master also going to partic.i.p.ate in the Chrysanthemum Viewing Banquet?" Chu Qing-Yan accompanied him to slowly walk towards the imperial gardens.
"Yes." A period before, he entered the palace to chant sutras and pray to Buddha for the Western Xuan Emperor to ward off distracting thoughts, then Western Xuan Emperor invited him to enter the palace. Originally, he didn't partic.i.p.ate in these ordinary affairs but once he recalled that Chu Qing-Yan would show up, he also agreed. He didn't expect that he would b.u.mp into her just as he was entering the palace.
"I trust Benefactor Chu has been well recently?" Xu Jian smiled and asked.
