Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 400 The Holy Monk Seeks Marriage (4)

The monk was not surprised, nor did his expression change. He lowered his eyes and looked at her deeply, then nodded and turned to leave.

Shen Yun slowly walked back to her room, following her memories.

As I stepped into the courtyard, a voice echoed in my mind.

[Mission objective revealed.]

[Saving all sentient beings: Rescuing Xuanli's life.]

Xuanli is the most talented monk in this Paradise Temple, and he is only nineteen years old.

In the eyes of the people, he was almost no different from a true Buddha.

It was this very point that led to his death.

Xia Yan had worked so hard to obtain the throne, how could he allow a monk to have a higher status than him in everyone's eyes?

Even if the monk didn't care about this and was truly devoted to Buddhism, he was still unhappy.

If it weren't for the need to appease the people, he would have already wiped out all these Buddhist temples.

He doesn't believe in gods or Buddhas. If there really is retribution, how could he possibly ascend the throne after killing his father and brother?

It's just the self-righteous belief of those fools.

But the Xia Dynasty already had him as emperor, and he would never willingly accept another faith.

Xuan Li died on a rainy day.

The blow was fatal. When he was slashed down, he showed no panic whatsoever, as if he had expected it.

Xia Yan was overjoyed to learn that his subordinates had succeeded, but on the surface he still had to maintain a sorrowful facade.

When people learned of Master Xuanli's death, they didn't believe it until Xia Yan had his body dumped on the city wall.

And they added more charges against him.

The Kyoto Temple tried to intervene, but ultimately to no avail.

No matter how high their status was in the hearts of the people, they were ultimately incomparable to the imperial power. Moreover, they never even considered comparing themselves to the imperial power.

……

Shen Yun stroked his chin thoughtfully. Come to think of it, it seemed both of them had died rather tragically. Xuan Li was even thrown from the city wall after his death.

I feel at peace now.

As long as everyone suffers together, then her suffering isn't truly suffering.

Shen Yun carefully examined his face in the mirror, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, her eyebrows were delicate, her cheeks had a faint blush, and her diamond-shaped lips were slightly upturned, giving her an inexplicable air of allure.

This is an extremely complex appearance.

She possesses both innocence and allure.

Individually, her features might not be that stunning, but when viewed together, she is breathtakingly beautiful; it's hard to imagine that such a beautiful person could exist in this world.

No wonder the sons of the King of Xiliang fought fiercely for the original owner of the body, and even lost their lives in the end.

With that kind of appearance, it's no wonder.

However, Shen Yun felt that the original owner was just an excuse.

They had wanted to fight for a long time, but they lacked a reason. Fortunately, the original owner of this body arrived, and they could use that reason to blame the original owner.

Beautiful women have always been a reason to start wars, even though everyone knows they are actually the most innocent.

But in war, someone always has to take the blame.

Clearly, the sons of the King of Xiliang were unwilling to bear the responsibility for this crime.

If they win, that's fine, but if they lose, they can claim that they acted impulsively because they were attracted to beautiful women.

The crime of lust is always less serious than the crime of brothers killing each other.

The ruler of Xiliang watched his sons fight amongst themselves but did not want to stop it; naturally, there were other reasons for this as well.
The snipe and the clam fight, while the fisherman profits.

However, like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, he did not expect the Xia Dynasty to take the opportunity to launch a war.

The two countries had lived in peace for decades, so this move by the Xia Dynasty was actually extremely shameless.
