Chapter 529 - 528
His own life was now precious, with Huaxia backing him up from behind, and a Great Zen Master in front. Who would dare make a move against him? If anyone did, they’d have to hold back a little, right? You don’t slap someone in the face. With this thought, Ye Tian gently caressed his own cheek, stopped talking, and obediently stood aside, watching the little monk bow with his hands pressed together to the people around before retreating from the yard. Thus, only Ye Tian, Bodhi, and the others remained in the yard.
One against five, just not enough for the other side to divide among themselves.
Ye Tian was anxious, forcing out a smile to be friendly to the other party. It seemed, however, that they ignored Ye Tian’s smile completely, sitting with their eyes closed in meditation, legs crossed. There was even someone with disheveled hair lying against the wall, asleep, dressed in a Taoist robe, with a compass for feng shui in front of him. Ye Tian pondered secretly – are even Taoists joining in the commotion?
"Junior has finally arrived, truly worthy of being the Great Zen Master’s closed-door disciple—with exceptional talent, the only one in my life I’ve seen," said Bodhi, who sat motionless on his cushion. He caught Ye Tian surveying the surroundings and spoke abruptly, causing an unprepared Ye Tian to shudder – after all, he used to be a soldier, and suddenly turned into a cultivator; he still couldn’t adapt to the role change, especially when facing a group of old folks with freakish strength.
If there was just an opportunity for him to throw punches at the wealthy and drive Mercedes, at least there would be some space for growth. But this guy, he goes straight for the kill – who can withstand that!
Already on edge, Ye Tian jumped when Bodhi called out so suddenly. Calming his nerves and patting his chest, he said, "So it’s the Bodhi Master. It’s been a long time, I’ve really missed you!"
"Yearning without acting, a mere meeting made you remember me, how unusual," Bodhi commented.
"Very kind of you to say."
