He Lean was finally able to remove the silk handkerchief from his mouth, and just then, Rong Shun Countys master said discontentedly: "Brother, dont be deceived by this monks appearance, he is a scoundrel who seduced the King of Yue"

  "Nonsense!" The young general cut in sharply.

  The crown prince said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Rong Shun, I still understand A Yue, he absolutely cannot be...a cut sleeve." As he spoke, he suddenly burst out laughing, covering his mouth to look at the Duke of Yue, who had walked out from the other side of the courtyard with a face as black as coal.

  He Lean followed his gaze, which was full of ridicule, and heard the King of Yue say indifferently: "I hope you can take her away before I throw this girl out to feed the dogs." Before he finished speaking, the prince and the young general had already taken the unyielding Rong Shun County Lord away.

  Look at the king of Weizhou dynasty himself, He Lean subconsciously retreated backwards, and hesitantly said: "You, you wont really be... as Rongshun County Master said, will you?"

  In the eyes of many, she is just an ordinary little monk, but he has kept her three times, really making it... hard not to think crookedly. Her senior fellow disciple once said that this face, as a boy, is still very, very, very attractive.

  "Hmph." The Duke of Yue smiled coldly, and with a "bang", he raised his hand to pin He Lean, who was retreating without any way out, between his arm and the crimson wooden pillar. He glared at the small monk, who only came up to his chest, and said:

  "Do you know that the women who like me can circle the capital ten times? The ones who want to throw themselves into my arms, from the border towns to the capital, are as numerous as fish in the sea and geese in the sky. Theyre slender, plump, charming, and beautiful, each with their own unique style. I sleep with a different one every morning, noon, and night, and even if I slept for ten years, I wouldnt be able to finish them all off. What do you think... why would I be a cut sleeve?"

  He Lean thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Sleep... overslept?"

  Pak la! The wooden pillar under the command of Duke Yue cracked open a seam, and he gritted his teeth: "Youre fed up with white rice, will you go eat shit?"

  He Lean shook his head naturally, "Its something a normal person wouldnt do, let alone someone whos tired of eating plain rice and porridge."

  "Thats right, a normal person wouldnt. The Duke of Yue said: "Im also a normal person, Ive had enough of the beautiful woman, there are many talented women, and even if not, there is still Xiao Jia Bi Yu, why... would I want to be a cut sleeve?" The last two words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

  He Lianan stared at him for a moment, repeatedly confirming that he had no intention of cutting his sleeve, before saying a Buddhist phrase: "Donor, I have decided to trust you, put away the idea of packing up and leaving."

  "Very well." The King of Yue smiled slightly and curled his lips, "But I still have to say one thing, retreat a million steps, even if I were gay, I wouldnt look at someone as... ordinary-looking and plain as you, little bald monk." After speaking, he withdrew his hand, turned around and left.

  He Lianer glared at his fiery back, humming: "Whats the point of being ordinary-looking? My master said that my appearance is among the top ten in the temple! Top ten! Good!"

  That night, He Le was sleeping soundly when the door creaked open with a loud "bang".

  She suddenly sat up, looked around, and saw that her own door was still closed. In a daze of sleepiness, she wondered if she had just dreamed it, when a loud "bang" came from next door, as if... the door she had just pushed open was now closed again.

  "Huh? Is someone living next door? I didnt hear anyone mention it today?"
