Chapter 1527: Chapter 1525: Returning Home (First Update)
In Suhang, within a nunnery named Mercy Nunnery, a woman in a gray Dao robe sat cross-legged before a statue, tapping the wooden fish in front of her and reciting scriptures.
If Xiao Yifeng were here, he would recognize this woman as the eldest daughter of the Bai Family, Bai Xin’er.
After returning to Suhang and learning of Xiao Yifeng’s death, Bai Xin’er directly became a nun, coming to this Mercy Nunnery to pray for him daily by reciting scriptures.
At some point, a nun in a Dao robe holding a feather duster walked in, her eyes exuding a peaceful gaze, and her body emitting a leisurely aura.
“Ancestor, why have you returned?”
At this time, an old nun of the Mercy Nunnery hurriedly stepped out, looking at this nun who appeared younger than herself, and spoke with a respectful demeanor.
“I have made a breakthrough in my strength and plan to completely leave this primitive world, so I came back for a look!”
This nun said indifferently and walked in directly, her gaze touching upon Bai Xin’er, who was reciting scriptures.
“Who is that?”
This nun asked.
“Oh, Ancestor, she is the young lady of a very wealthy family in Suhang. She claimed to have seen through the red dust and wanted to become a nun. Seeing her purity and persistent plea, I took her in. Moreover, she is very perceptive and has memorized all the scriptures you left in the nunnery by heart.”
The old nun stood aside, introducing.
The woman with the feather duster gazed at Bai Xin’er and uttered, “Pure in six senses, clean in body, without evil thoughts in mind, wise in intellect, indeed a good seedling!”
Then this woman directly walked up to Bai Xin’er, who looked up at her.
“Who are you?”
Bai Xin’er looked at this woman with a hint of confusion.
“Xin’er, this is the Ancestor of Mercy Nunnery!”
The old nun came over and told Bai Xin’er.
“Ancestor?”
Bai Xin’er’s eyes showed a trace of surprise as she looked at this woman who appeared to be only in her forties.
“Do you really want to wholeheartedly commit to Buddhism, leaving behind all worldly concerns?”
The woman looked at Bai Xin’er and said.
“That’s right, I have no more attachments to this world!”
Bai Xin’er said calmly. Since learning of Xiao Yifeng’s death, she no longer had any attachments to this world, wishing only to spend the rest of her life praying for Xiao Yifeng by reciting scriptures.
She did not know that Xiao Yifeng was still alive as she stayed in Mercy Nunnery and naturally remained unaware of this news.
“Very well, I want to take you to a place that will change your life, where your abilities will truly be utilized!”
The woman looked at Bai Xin’er and said.
“To a place? What place?”
Bai Xin’er showed a trace of confusion in her eyes.
“A place more suitable for you than here. Come with me, no need to ask more!”
The woman gently waved the feather duster, speaking lightly.
“Xin’er, quickly agree. Being chosen by the Ancestor is a great fortune for you!”
The old nun hastily spoke.
“Oh!”
Bai Xin’er was still in a state of bafflement, not realizing it yet.
She did not know that by agreeing, a tremendous change would sweep through her life and somehow connect her again with Xiao Yifeng, eventually even aiding him remarkably.
At that moment, Xiao Yifeng was driving the Pagani he had previously given Ye Yashi as a birthday gift, with Hong Mei, heading towards her hometown, a small rural village in a county under Tianhai City.
The reason Xiao Yifeng did not fly with Hong Mei directly was mainly that he did not want to cause a big sensation, letting Hong Mei’s family know of his uniqueness.
After all, Hong Mei’s family were just ordinary farmers who certainly would struggle to accept such things beyond normal human understanding, so he played it as a regular person, driving with Hong Mei back home, which also felt dignified.
“Little Feeng, my home might be a bit shabby, don’t mind it, okay?”
Hong Mei looked at Xiao Yifeng sitting in the car and said.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about me being picky. I can adapt to any environment, besides, I’m going to meet the in-laws, not on vacation!”
Xiao Yifeng smiled gently.
After driving for four or five hours, they arrived in a small county under Tianhai City, while Hong Mei’s home was still some distance away, located in a small village supervised by this county.
But as they just arrived in the county, Hong Mei’s phone rang.
“Hello? Okay, I got it!”
Hong Mei hung up and looked at Xiao Yifeng, saying, “We’re not going home yet.”
“What happened?”
Xiao Yifeng asked, puzzled.
“My third uncle’s daughter found a boyfriend. My third uncle booked a restaurant in the county, inviting my parents, along with the families of my second uncle and fourth aunt, for a meal. My father informed me to bring you directly to the restaurant. After dinner, we will head home together.”
Hong Mei said.
“Alright!”
Xiao Yifeng nodded.
“Little Feeng, I have to tell you; my second and third uncle’s families have far better conditions than ours, so they might not treat us very well, and they are a bit snobbish. If they say something unpleasant, don’t take it to heart, okay?”
Hong Mei looked at Xiao Yifeng and said.
“It’s fine, I have a strong tolerance, and if they dare to look down on your family, I will make sure to teach them a lesson, and I am good at that sort of thing!”
Xiao Yifeng said with a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
Then, Xiao Yifeng drove the Pagani to the most upscale restaurant in the county, where most of the cars parked were Audis, BMWs, with only a handful of Mercedes and Jaguars.
The most expensive was a Land Rover worth a million, making Xiao Yifeng’s car, valued in the tens of millions, appear quite out of place.
Xiao Yifeng opened the car door and, taking Hong Mei’s hand, walked directly into the restaurant. After informing the waiter of their private room number, they went upstairs to the room’s entrance.
“Please, both of you, go inside!”
The waiter said directly.
Then the door of the private room was opened, revealing a large round table inside, with a sofa on the side where an elderly-looking couple sat.
Their clothing was very simple, faces full of wrinkles, hands rough from heavy labor, and beside them sat a slender young man looking about seventeen or eighteen.
“Dad, Mom, Little Brother!”
Seeing the couple and the young man, Hong Mei appeared very excited and rushed over.
