Chapter 103 Arhat

Hua Rong was very decisive, and this was the biggest price she could pay. Su Wan'er also looked at Zheng Wenjie expectantly.

"Okay, I agree." Zheng Wenjie said with a smile.

Su Wan'er finally relaxed. She didn't know why she had such great confidence in Zheng Wenjie.

He Yu's face became even uglier, and she tried her best to calm down. Originally, Su Wan'er and Hua Rong were not satisfied with her after meeting her. They had only known her for a few days, but they had already criticized her harshly.

Fortunately, Li Zhi really fell in love with her, and Shen Cihang could save Li Zhi. Su Wan'er and Hua Rong had no choice but to accept her as their daughter-in-law, but now Cheng Yaojin showed up.

"Master Zheng, what are you going to do next?" He Yu forced a smile. Compared to the Li family, the Yongsheng Group was even more brutal.

If you offend the Li family, it will be difficult to find a job in the future, and you will be disgusted to death in various ways, but at least your personal safety will be guaranteed.

But if you really offend Yongsheng Group, you will really be sunk into Victoria Harbour.

Zheng Wenjie is the behind-the-scenes boss of Yongsheng Group. He Yu is afraid, but for the sake of her future life as a rich wife, she has no choice but to bite the bullet and find a way to improve Shen Cihang's status in Su Wan'er's heart.

Zheng Wenjie ignored He Yu and said to Su Wan'er and Hua Rong: "Call Master Shen Cihang over as well. I want to get to know him."

Zheng Wenjie patted Tang Xue and motioned her to sit down, then he said slowly: "As for Li Zhi, I will get rid of the green-faced demon ghost when it gets dark."

"Okay! Master Zheng and Miss Tang take a rest first. I'll ask someone to invite Master Shen over right away." Su Wan'er said with a smile, looking at the fat and thin brothers who were gathered together and shouted:
"Li Jia, Li Zhen, go with He Yu and invite Master Shen over."

Hua Rong looked at He Yu and said seriously: "Remember, you must invite Master Shen over. If you can't invite him, you don't have to come back!"

He Yu could no longer hold back his expression. He stood up angrily and just as he uttered the word "Li", the two brothers of the Li family, who were getting along quite well with each other, covered their mouths and dragged them out. Li Zhen shouted, "Grandma! Don't worry, we will definitely invite Master Shen over!"

After the three of them left the Li family, Su Wan'er said goodbye to Zheng Wenjie and Tang Xue and went upstairs.

Hua Rong said to Zheng Wenjie: "This little girl has been wanting to marry into our Li family since she saw Li Zhi. She also said that Master Shen had told her fortune and that she and Li Zhi were destined to be together."

Zheng Wenjie smiled and said, "Who can tell the relationship between children? Li Zhi should like this girl very much, right? Otherwise, you would not let this girl stay."

Hua Rong smiled bitterly and told the truth without hiding it: "To be honest, I have already planned Li Zhi's marriage. The youngest daughter of the Bai family should be back from studying in the UK this year, but because of the curse on Li Zhi, I dare not mention his marriage."

"But now that we have Master Zheng, once we get rid of this evil ghost, the curse on Li Zhi should be lifted. Then we can just give this girl some money to get rid of her."

Tang Xue nodded thoughtfully and said to Hua Rong, "But what if Li Zhi disagrees? Li Zhi is thirty years old. He doesn't dare to get close to women because of the curse, right? Especially when the green-faced monster attacks, this girl is with Li Zhi. It's easy for Li Zhi to fall in love with her."

Hua Rong nodded calmly and said, "I think so. When we asked Miss He Yu to leave a few days ago, Li Zhi refused to let us go and told us in no uncertain terms that he wanted to marry her."

Zheng Wenjie leaned back on the sofa and said, "This doesn't seem like a romantic relationship. Li Zhi probably wants to use He Yu to get closer to Shen Cihang so that Shen Cihang can be more dedicated."

"Although Li Zhi hasn't been close to a woman for more than 30 years, it doesn't mean that he has no brains. On the contrary, he may have lost interest in women."

Tang Xue looked at Zheng Wenjie with confused eyes wide open, "Master, what do you mean by Li Zhi is not interested in women? I don't understand."

Hua Rong felt something was not right the more she thought about it from Zheng Wenjie. It seemed that Li Zhi had never liked any girl since he was a child. Instead, he had always been surrounded by a group of male friends. Hua Rong's face began to turn ugly.

Su Wan'er came downstairs holding a small box, sat next to Tang Xue with a smile, opened the box to Tang Xue, and ten gold bars neatly filled the wooden box.

"Miss Tang, this is the gold I promised you yesterday. See if you like it." Su Wan'er said with a smile.

Hua Rong looked at Su Wan'er and asked worriedly, "Wan'er, has Zhi'er ever said that he likes girls since he was a child? Or has he ever mentioned what kind of girl he wants to marry in the future?"

Su Wan'er looked at Hua Rong in confusion: "It seems not, sister, why are you asking this?"

Hua Rong said with a fake smile: "It's okay, I just thought of He Yu, that girl, and wanted to know if Zhier really likes this girl. If he does, we won't break up the couple."

Su Wan'er frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Sister! That girl is pestering Zhi'er for the sake of the Li family. If they really like each other, it's fine, but now Zhi'er likes her very much, but I don't think this girl really likes my son."

"When they get married, if they behave properly, Zhier should be happy, but if they don't, it will be a mess."

Tang Xue saw the gold and didn't bother to pretend to ask Zheng Wenjie a question. She held the box on her knees, rubbed the gold with her fingertips and said to Su Wan'er, "Alas, Li Zhi doesn't like girls, he likes men! The curse is to make the Li family extinct. Do you think it just prevents him from getting close to girls?"

Su Wan'er thought of herself playing the role of Long Yangjun on the stage before, her eyes widened and she looked at Zheng Wenjie: "Master! You have to save Zhier, the Li family only has this one child, how could she possibly like a man!"

Zheng Wenjie stretched out his palm and pressed down: "What's the use of being anxious? What we can do now is to deal with the green-faced demon ghost first. As for your child's sexual orientation, we can try to change it back after the influence of the curse is gone!"

"Also, the fat man just now should be very close to your son. The auras of them are connected." Zheng Wenjie felt nauseous when he said this.

Hua Rong said firmly: "After this matter is settled, we can deal with the aftermath. As for Miss He Yu, let's not interfere!"

Su Wan'er sighed with a distressed expression: "What the hell is this!"

Tang Xue closed the wooden box with her eyes narrowed in smile, and said to Su Wan'er with a sensible look: "Don't worry! If it doesn't work, you can feed them with firewood as described in the storybook. If you feed them a few more times, the baby will be born, right? Your Li family will never be extinct!"

Zheng Wenjie rubbed his nose bridge. Gong Ruomei stayed at home to learn various skills, while Tang Xue, who was accompanying Gong Ruomei, did not think about learning together. Instead, she just watched the same thing all day long.

...

"What should we say when we see Master Shen?" Li Jia rubbed his fat face, feeling a little conflicted.

Li Zhen parked the car outside Shen Cihang's villa and asked in confusion, "Tell me the truth? We are all masters, and Master Zheng is the boss behind the Yongsheng Group. Master Shen will not refuse Master Zheng's invitation, right?"

"Yes! There is also Yongsheng Group. I am too concerned. That's good. Master Shen will definitely not refuse the invitation. In this way, He Yu will not be kicked out of Lijia!" Lijia patted his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief! "Humph! Those two old ladies are always looking at me and want to drive me away! I won't do what they want. Lizhi and I are truly in love!" He Yu said angrily, and finally patted Lijia's arm: "Lijia, thank you for your continued support and Lizhi."

Li Jia laughed and said, "This... Doesn't this mean that Li Zhi likes you? As long as he likes something, I will support him!"

He Yu looked at the two brothers with some emotion: "Thank you! Li Zhi and I will definitely not let you down!"

"Is that Master Shen? Why is he coming out? Get out of the car quickly." Li Zhen saw Shen Cihang coming out of the villa through the car window and hurriedly said.

He Yu quickly got out of the car and waved and called out loudly: "Shen Cihang!"

Shen Cihang walked towards them with a smile, opened the empty passenger seat and sat in.

"Shen Cihang, did you know we were coming?" He Yu asked in surprise.

Shen Cihang nodded and said, "I did some calculations this morning and found that something had changed with Li Zhi. I kept thinking about it, and then you guys came."

He Yu quickly told Shen Cihang everything he knew about Zheng Wenjie.

Shen Cihang still had a smile on his face, and said nonchalantly: "It seems that this Master Zheng has great magical powers! Let's go, since you invited me, I naturally cannot refuse this invitation."

...

Zheng Wenjie refused the table of delicious food and wine that Su Wan'er had sent over, and picked up a book at random to start reading.

Tang Xue leaned her head on Zheng Wenjie's arm and started reading the book. After a while, she said in boredom, "Master, what's so good about this kind of professional book? It's all stuff I can't understand."

Zheng Wenjie said casually, "Okay, I'll replace all those messy books of yours with decent ones when I get back."

"What?" Tang Xue turned her head and looked at Zheng Wenjie's nose. She was stunned for a moment, and quickly sat up before continuing, "My books are serious books, too!"

"Yes, you are right." Zheng Wenjie turned a page and replied.

Tang Xue made a face at Zheng Wenjie, then opened the box and touched the gold bars, but she would glance at Zheng Wenjie from time to time, and her eyes became more and more flustered.

Zheng Wenjie closed the book and looked at Tang Xue helplessly: "Why are you staring at me?"

"I... I wasn't looking at you. I was looking at my gold!" Tang Xue said, lowering her head with her face pressed against the gold.

Zheng Wenjie heard the sound of a car stopping outside the villa. Su Wan'er and Hua Rong also came down from upstairs. Hua Rong opened the door and went out to greet them. Su Wan'er sat on the sofa with her hands clasped together, silently praying that everything would go well.

Hua Rong led Shen Cihang into the living room and gave the two of them a brief introduction.

Shen Cihang smiled and thanked Hua Rong, then sat opposite Zheng Wenjie and said with a smile, "Master Zheng, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

Zheng Wenjie sat up straight, sniffed gently and said, "Your scent is somewhat similar to someone I know."

"Oh? Which senior is it? Maybe I know him." Shen Cihang could not sense any magical power in Zheng Wenjie. He looked like an ordinary person. However, the little girl playing with gold beside him made him feel something was wrong. He unconsciously promoted Zheng Wenjie from a peer to a senior.

Zheng Wenjie smiled and waved his hand, looking at the Buddhist beads hanging on Shen Cihang's hand and asked: "That's an old friend. Are you practicing Buddhism?"

Shen Cihang nodded, put his hands together and said, "I am practicing Hinayana Buddhism, focusing on the Four Noble Truths."

Zheng Wenjie propped up his chin and asked, "If there is Hinayana Buddhism, is there also Mahayana Buddhism?"

In response to Zheng Wenjie's question, Shen Cihang continued to smile and said, "Senior is right. Mahayana Buddhism is more widely spread, and the vast majority of believers are followers of Mahayana Buddhism."

"We are both practitioners, and we are both compassionate and want to save all living beings. The difference is that the Buddhist teachings I practice are about transcending oneself first, and then saving all living beings."

"The purpose of practicing the Four Noble Truths is to achieve a state of no self, no attachment, and no afflictions, and to completely eliminate afflictions such as greed, anger, and ignorance. Then one can achieve the fruition of an Arhat."

Zheng Wenjie kept repeating the word "Arhat" in his mind. Zhao Li's name in his previous life was Wuming, which meant he was a great monk who had achieved the status of Arhat.

Shen Cihang clapped his hands on his thighs with some self-mockery and said, "My master said that I am extremely talented, but I am ashamed of my master. I still haven't comprehended the state of no self, no attachment, and no worries. It is so difficult to cut off desires."

Tang Xue curled her lips and said, "My lady has read your Hinayana Buddhist scriptures. I heard her say that there are different ways to become an Arhat. The fastest one needs three lifetimes, and the slowest one needs sixty kalpas."

"From your appearance, you seem to have quite a high level of Buddhist practice. I wonder if you want to lament the difficulty of Buddhism, or if you want to show that you are extremely gifted."

Zheng Wenjie hummed and looked at Tang Xue with satisfaction, then said earnestly: "You didn't waste your time in vain, you still learned something, you have to continue in the future, you have to know that learning never ends!"

Tang Xue pursed her lips and nodded seriously, complaining in her heart that she had never seen how much Zheng Wenjie loved studying, and he probably didn't know as much as she did. Thinking that there are so many people here now, she should give you some face!

Shen Cihang laughed and said, "I am obsessed with this. I made a promise with this green-faced demon ghost this time. You may not know why."

"I have several friends in the underworld. They told me that this green-faced monster has a close relationship with the ferryman in this area. I was laughed at by you. I want to exorcise the monster, but I can't get rid of my greed for life. I don't want to offend the ferryman of the underworld, so I can only resort to this last resort."

"What will you do if the green-faced ghost doesn't keep his promise?" Zheng Wenjie asked.

Shen Cihang put away his smile and said seriously: "Compassion, if the Green-faced Demon Ghost violates the agreement, I will have no choice but to offend the ferryman."

Tang Xue said with a smile: "Then you don't have to worry about offending the ferryman now. Here~ my master won't blame you."

Shen Cihang was stunned and looked at Zheng Wenjie: "Senior, are you the ferryman of the underworld?"
