Cai Cai Zi felt a bit panicked and quickly asked him: “Ye Chen-kun, do you think Jing Qing monk has ill intentions?”
“Not exactly.” Ye Chen shook his head. “He risked it to guide you to enlightenment without seeking anything in return, so he must not be a bad person and certainly has no malicious intent. So, it is not ill intentions, just unclear motives.”
Ye Chen was not Lin Wan’er after all.
If he were Lin Wan’er, upon thinking of this layer, he would have realised that Xiao Chu Ran’s departure might also be related to Jing Qing monk.
If he could think of this layer, and then try to trace back Xiao Chu Ran’s previous movements, he might arrive at the same deduction as Lin Wan’er.
As it was, he only felt that Jing Qing monk’s appearance seemed to have another purpose. He urgently wanted to know what kind of person this was.
Cai Cai Zi then said: “Since Ye Chen-kun suspects Jing Qing monk’s motives, why not find an opportunity to ask him directly and clear it up? If he just happened to discover that I had the aptitude for enlightenment and casually guided me, then there is no need to worry too much. But if he intentionally approached me and intentionally guided me to enlightenment, then the matter becomes mysterious. Because for a cultivator to notice me, someone without enlightenment, the only possibility is that he first noticed you, Ye Chen-kun.”
Cai Cai Zi’s analysis further cleared the fog.
Ye Chen also felt that for a cultivator, whose existence had an extremely low probability, to coincidentally encounter a person with equally low probability of having talent, and then generously help her attain enlightenment casually, the probability of that was so minuscule it was frightening just to calculate.
If the probability of cultivators existing in this world was one in ten million, and the probability of having the talent to become a cultivator was one in a million, then the chance of the two of them naturally bumping into each other in one place was even smaller than the chance of an asteroid hitting Earth.
So, no matter how one looked at it, the latter possibility was greater, and much greater.
If that was the case…
Ye Chen suddenly had a bold deduction. He felt that Jing Qing monk was most likely the same kind of person as Tang Si Hai.
Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to go to Purple Mountain to see Lin Wan’er and tell her this conclusion, because in Ye Chen’s subconscious, the person he could be most open and honest with in this world, with whom he had no secrets, was Lin Wan’er.
Besides Lin Wan’er, he held back with everyone else.
Seeing Ye Chen’s serious expression and that he said not a word, Cai Cai Zi also realised the severity of the issue, so she quickly said: “I suddenly feel that this Jing Qing monk is quite unfathomable. How exactly did he notice Ye Chen-kun, and how did he notice me through Ye Chen-kun?”
Inspired by her, Ye Chen quickly asked: “Do you still remember the details of how you met him?”
“I remember.” Cai Cai Zi nodded and said: “I heard others mention Jing Qing monk, saying that the protective talismans he had blessed were very effective, so I had the idea to seek one for Ye Chen-kun. That is how I met him at Qi Xia Temple.”
As she spoke, she whispered a bit embarrassedly: “Ye Chen-kun knows, I have always had a bit of superstitious thinking.”
Ye Chen grasped something and immediately asked her: “So, where did you hear about him from?”
Cai Cai Zi answered truthfully: “In the lift, in the lift of Tomson Riviera.”
Ye Chen found it even more suspicious and frowned. “In the lift of Tomson Riviera? And it was that coincidental?”
“Yes.” Cai Cai Zi said: “I was taking the lift down to the basement car park at the time, and midway a neighbour got on. She was talking on the phone to someone about the news of Jing Qing monk coming to Qi Xia Temple, and mentioned that Jing Qing monk would bless protective talismans for the faithful, so I proactively caught up and asked her about it.”
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp gleam flashing through them, and then he said decisively: “This woman has a problem!”
