Chapter 304 - 303: You Can’t Run Away
Mianmian saw that after the Dark Qi from Yong Hui transferred onto Ayu, Ayu’s face actually returned to the visage of the Buddha, resplendent with golden light.
Yong Hui was still smiling, "The old monk and Ayu are one and the same, and together we shall attain Buddhahood."
Yong Hui wasn’t wrong in saying that; the line was a destiny line, and the destinies as well as the souls of the two were entangled, inseparable.
Mianmian frowned, deeply troubled, "If that’s the case, surely you could have stopped Ayu from regaining his memories, so why did you let Ayu retrieve them?"
Yong Hui’s smile deepened, "Of course, it’s because of you."
Mianmian didn’t understand and was frowning with pursed lips.
Observing Little Bun’s puzzled appearance, Yong Hui twirled the pearl in his hand, his tone filled with profound meaning, "Ayu is linked to my fate—his death is my death, his life my life. It was my doing that led him to commit these evil deeds. Would you kill both him and me?"
At that, Mianmian suddenly understood.
Yong Hui meant to say that Ayu was inherently kind, and that it was him extracting Ayu’s memories, resulting in Ayu’s death and the commission of wicked actions, turning him into a villain. Ayu’s life was bound to his; to kill Yong Hui was also to kill the pitiable Ayu.
Yet if Yong Hui wasn’t dispatched, the Temple would still exist, and those who came to offer incense would continue to find their wishes unfulfilled, paying a price for their desires.
