Chapter 287: Chapter 267 You are, the Miracle Given to Me by God Buddha_2
Sitting at the side, Yu Wenye slightly furrowed his brow, "Why are you sighing?"
"Ah?"
Shang Ruyi quickly masked it with a smile upon hearing this and said, "By the way, you don’t recognize him. Didn’t you ever visit Ban Yan Temple when you were a child?"
"Never been here."
"Don’t usually come either?"
Yu Wenye shook his head, "No."
Shang Ruyi said, "You don’t come to worship Buddha?"
Yu Wenye still shook his head.
Shang Ruyi widened her eyes, looking at him, and after a while, she softly said, "You don’t believe in God Buddha?"
Yu Wenye glanced at her and said, "I don’t believe."
Shang Ruyi was even more surprised and said, "You don’t believe there are God Buddha in this world?"
Yu Wenye pondered again and then said, "People believe in God Buddha in two ways. One believes there are God Buddha in the world, and the other believes God Buddha can bring them benefits. What I don’t believe is the latter. As for whether there are God Buddha in this world, it has little to do with me."
Shang Ruyi said, "Then you—"
Yu Wenye smiled faintly, "I have always believed that if you want something, you have to fight for it yourself. Doing nothing but hoping for miracles from God Buddha, isn’t that laughable."
Shang Ruyi still looked at him in surprise, but after a while, she smiled again.
Thinking about it, she shouldn’t be surprised, because Yu Wenye was just such a person. In the world, everyone has moments of weakness and helplessness, seeking help from God Buddha, but he—at least until now, she had never seen this man appear weak or helpless, it seemed this would never happen to him.
She smiled and said, "So you believe in yourself."
Yu Wenye said, "People are supposed to believe in themselves."
He said this very plainly, as if it was as natural as eating or sleeping, but every word of this sentence was thick with untold arrogance that Shang Ruyi couldn’t help but think, he and that exalted ruler, sharing the same arrogance, looking down on the world, not even knowing who among them was more arrogant.
Can the world tolerate two such arrogant people?
After resting for a while, they continued on their way, and soon arrived at Ban Yan Temple.
Today, there weren’t many people in the temple either. The monk who received them was the same one who had helped settle everything when they last brought the memorial items, welcoming them politely inside. This was their first time coming to the temple since the item placement, so they held a ceremony in a Buddhist Hall, and by the time it was all finished, the day had passed.
The two of them temporarily decided to stay overnight at Ban Yan Temple.
It wasn’t the first time they stayed at this place; the monk led them to a room in Layman Forest. Pushing the door open, it looked familiar, it was the same room they stayed in when they last came for Guan Yunmu’s memorial service.
Shang Ruyi smiled, "Last time we came, we also stayed here."
The old monk smiled, "Not many people stay in this room, besides you two, it was the young master from your noble house who also stayed here more than half a year ago."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room became quiet immediately.
Shang Ruyi’s expression suddenly turned somber.
As it turns out, they had stayed in this room last time too, no wonder that night, she vaguely heard Yu Wenye asking the monk about Yu Wenqian, but she didn’t expect it was the same room.
To say what she feared most in the Yuwen Family was not what a typical wife would fear—trouble from in-laws or Aunt Hui’s subtle challenges, or Yu Wencheng’s difficult nature, or even Yu Wenye’s past cold indifference toward her.
What she feared most was someone bringing up that young master—Yu Wenqian.
Yet, she couldn’t avoid it.
Looking back at Yu Wenye, his eyes seemed to flicker with something, but there was no expression on his face, he just calmly said, "Thank you for your trouble."
The monk put his hands together, "Amitabha Buddha, please feel free to do as you will."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Though he left, the atmosphere in the room turned heavy, not only heavy but also somewhat awkward. Yu Wenye didn’t show anger, but Shang Ruyi could still see from his indifferent demeanor that some places in his heart that shouldn’t be touched seemed to have been touched again.
She thought for a moment and softly said, "The room feels a bit stuffy, how about we go for a walk?"
Yu Wenye glanced at her, calmly nodding.
Thus, the two of them went out.
At this time, the sun hadn’t set yet, the orange-red sunlight spilled over the snow accumulated by the roadside, reflecting dazzling light, even making it feel not so cold. The two walked along the corridor out from the side gate of Ban Yan Temple, then followed the path for a while, finally seeing a platform ahead, seemingly meant for people to stop and enjoy the scenery, with monks having specially built a row of railings around it.
