Chapter 7 — Stealing Purple Qi to Exchange Peach Blossoms

At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the door.

“What truth?”

My master and I immediately stiffened. Tham Thanh Chau is standing outside the door. The moonlight fell on his body, making it impossible to see his face clearly. When did he come from? How much have you heard? Master suddenly shouted loudly:

"The truth is that A Nguyet's destiny is Thien Sat Co Tinh! Against husband, against death, even against yourself! We deceived you only for your good!"

I looked at my master in shock. Old man, you're starting to improvise again! Tham Thanh Chau was also stunned. He looked at me, then at his master, his eyebrows furrowed. Master continued the performance.

"His personality is too weak, he can't live past the age of eighteen. We picked you back up because we wanted to borrow your death energy to prolong its life. We chased you away because we were afraid you would be killed by it, Sir National Teacher!"

The teacher cried as he spoke.

“We are truly using our hearts and souls!”

I look at Tham Thanh Chau. Will he believe it? Such a lie full of loopholes. Tham Thanh Chau was silent for a long time. He walked up to me, raised his hand and stroked my cheek. His hand was extremely warm.

“So that's it.”

He said softly.

"I told you why my death energy was lost for no reason."

But he believed it. He looked at me, his eyes no longer had the previous guilt, but instead was filled with deeper regret and determination.

“Destiny is not something that cannot be changed.”

He said.

“Later, I will help you.”

10 Tham Thanh Chau said he wanted to help me change my destiny. The next day, he immediately moved into the temple. He cleaned a room right next to mine. To put it beautifully, it is to conveniently observe the changes in my destiny, and at the same time use his death energy to nurse me at any time. Master and I have absolutely no choice. Inviting a god is easy, sending him off is difficult. Not only could we not chase him away, we also led the wolf into the house. After Tham Thanh Chau stayed, our lives changed dramatically. He took over everything in the temple. In the morning, he would force me to wake up and join him in feeding me energy. He said doing so could strengthen my soul. During the day, he will sit next to me, watching me tell pilgrims' fates. Every time I start talking gibberish, he will cough softly.

“Linh Nguyet Dao leader, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed too much.”

He is cutting off my way to wealth. At night, he will prepare all kinds of elixirs and bring them to my room.

“Drink, this is good for you.”

The medicine is so bitter that it makes us doubt life. We feel we are not prolonging our life, but rather shortening it. I complained to my master:

“Master, if this continues, I will really go crazy.”

The master also looked sad.

"Try to hold it in. Once he gets bored, he will naturally leave."

But Tham Thanh Chau has absolutely no intention of leaving. It seems he has made reforming me his lifelong career. That day, he brought a bowl of black medicinal water. Looking at that bowl of medicine, my stomach immediately churned.

“I don't drink.”

I turned my head to the side.

“Ngoan, this thing is made from thousand-year-old polygonum multiflorum.”

He gently coaxed.

“I don't drink!”

My attitude is extremely determined. Tham Thanh Chau sighed softly. He put down the medicine bowl then suddenly asked:

“A Nguyet, are you still angry with me?”

I was stunned.

“What are you angry about?”

"I was angry at me that year and didn't say goodbye."

He said.

“Sorry.”

He looked at me with sincere eyes.

"I didn't know her destiny was so dangerous. If I had known, I absolutely would not have left her."

He began to imagine himself again. I decided to let it all go.

“Tham Thanh Chau, are you really stupid?”

I asked. He was stunned.

"From beginning to end, I lied to you. My body is very good, there is absolutely no such thing as Thien Sat Lone Star."

“Master said my destiny was weak, he just wanted me to be able to comfortably take advantage of you.”

“We kept you just to absorb your luck and use your things to exchange for money.”

"That piece of jade was sold to us a long time ago. That piece of emerald is fake."

"I have never cried for you. Not even a single tear."

I tell all the truth in one breath. Having finished speaking, I looked at him. Waiting for him to get angry, waiting for him to wave his sleeves and leave, waiting for him to destroy my temple. Tham Thanh Chau listened silently. There was no expression on his face. Waiting for me to finish speaking, he slowly opened his mouth:

“Are you done talking?”

I nodded.

“Yes.”

“So that piece of white jade was really sold?”

It seems he only cares about this issue.

“Yes.”

Tham Thanh Chau was silent. I thought he was about to explode. But in the end, he just sighed softly.

“It's good that it's sold.”

He said.

"That piece of jade pendant is a token of love passed down in my master's school, and can only be given to religious companions."

"That year I gave it to you, I really broke the rules."

He looked at me and suddenly smiled. That smile is like melting snow and ice in early spring.

“If the token is gone, then I can only compensate you myself.”

I was completely stunned. Just how does this person's mind work? I've said this far, why is he still... I don't know when the master appeared outside the door, still holding an abacus in his hand.

“Sir, we can discuss the matter of bride price slowly.”

Tham Thanh Chau nodded.

“That's natural.”

Looking at the two people, I finally understood. I'm not a fraudster. I'm just a tool. The real fraud from the beginning was my good master. And Tham Thanh Chau is not a fool who can easily be taken advantage of. He just wanted to find an excuse to cling to me. Complete
