We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 223 Xiao Mo is a good person; he's actually not bad.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Xiao Mo's expression changed slightly.

"What an idiot."

Finally, Xiao Mo just sighed, shook his head, and turned to continue walking forward.

Watching Xiao Mo walk away, Wang Xin held his little hand and quickly stepped over the fallen tree in front of him, running to catch up.

He walked ahead.

She followed behind.

The girl's clear eyes were fixed on Xiao Mo's back, as if she was afraid of losing him.

Over the next few days, Xiao Mo didn't say another word to Wang Xin, as if he had ignored her and treated her as if she didn't exist.

But Wang Xin didn't care.

For the girl, all she wanted was to stay by his side and not be driven away.

Of course.

Even if he tries to kick me out, I won't leave.
Every evening, when Xiao Mo found a cave to stay in, Wang Xin would gather withered branches and fallen leaves outside the cave.

As the girl picked up the items, she kept looking back at the cave, as if afraid that Xiao Mo would leave while she wasn't looking.

Once she had collected enough, she carried the dry branches and ran quickly back to the cave. She sat down next to Xiao Mo and carefully started a fire.

Sometimes, Xiao Mo would deliberately hunt a rabbit, skin it, wash it, and roast it over a fire in front of Wang Xin.

Watching Xiao Mo eat the cute bunny, Wang Xin would always close her eyes, put her hands together, and chant Buddhist scriptures to pray for the bunny's soul.

After Xiao Mo finishes eating, Wang Xin will clean up the rabbit's skeleton and give it a proper burial.

As the girl buried the rabbit, she murmured, "Rabbit, if you want revenge in your next life, come find me, not Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo is a good person; he's not actually bad."

When Xiao Mo passed by and heard what Wang Xin said, he couldn't help but tap her on the head.

Wang Xin wasn't angry. She just held her little bald head in her arms. Even though her eyes were covered with a thin layer of water from the pain, she wasn't angry. She just looked at Xiao Mo with a wronged expression.

When Xiao Mo wanted to lie down and sleep in the cave, Wang Xin would use some branches and piles of grass to make a simple bed for him.

Every morning, Wang Xin would get up earlier than Xiao Mo, afraid that Xiao Mo would sneak away.

Wang Xin didn't know where Xiao Mo was going; she just followed him.

Wherever Xiao Mo went, she went.

However, Wang Xin had once heard Xiao Mo say that he wanted to use the knife in his hand to teach the Western Regions about the rules.

Wang Xin knew that the rule Xiao Mo was about to explain would kill many, many people.
A few days later again.

As evening fell, Xiao Mo and Wang Xin arrived at a dilapidated temple.

Wang Xin tugged at Xiao Mo's sleeve, indicating that she wanted to go inside and pay her respects.

Although Xiao Mo seemed very impatient, he still went inside.

The temple houses several Buddha statues, with the central one appearing kind and smiling.

The guardian deities on both sides are fierce and menacing, giving people a sense of terror.

Several Buddha statues had not been cleaned for a long time and were covered with dust and cobwebs.

"Xiao Mo, may I wipe these Buddha statues? It will be done in no time," Wang Xin pleaded.

"Alright, then you stay and clean up, I'm leaving." With that, Xiao Mo turned and was about to walk out of the temple.

Wang Xin was slightly startled and quickly followed behind Xiao Mo.

"Weren't you going to clean the Buddha statue?" Xiao Mo asked.

Wang Xin gripped Xiao Mo's sleeve tightly and shook her head: "Xiao Mo... I... I won't wipe it anymore. Let's keep going."

Seeing her aggrieved look, Xiao Mo tapped her head again and sat back down under the Buddha statue: "I'm not leaving today, I'll stay here tonight."

Hearing Xiao Mo say he'd be spending the night here,

Wang Xin was overjoyed. He filled a bucket with water from the well in front of the temple and carefully wiped the Buddha statue.

But soon after, a bolt of lightning illuminated the dilapidated temple.

"Boom!" A thunderous roar echoed through the mountains, as if the entire mountain trembled.

Then a torrential downpour began.

Fortunately, although the temple was dilapidated, the roof was intact, so no rainwater was getting in.

"Master, Madam, Miss, the rain is too heavy. Let's go inside and take shelter from the rain."

"Okay, let's go inside quickly, your clothes are all wet."

Just as Xiao Mo was resting with his eyes closed, he heard several voices outside.

A portly middle-aged man, accompanied by his family and escorted by several guards, entered.

Judging from the silk they were wearing, they were a wealthy family.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the man sitting under the Buddha statue and the monk wiping the Buddha statue.

And upon closer inspection, the monk was actually a woman?
Are there still female monks in this world?
"Gentlemen, we are from Jianzhi County. We went for a hike in the mountains today, but we didn't expect the rain to be so heavy. Would you mind taking shelter from the rain?"

The middle-aged man spoke politely, seemingly aware of some of the unwritten rules of the martial arts world, knowing that even in a dilapidated, unclaimed temple, there was a distinction between those who arrived first and those who arrived later.

"Whatever," Xiao Mo said calmly.

"Thank you."

The middle-aged man bowed and led his family to sit on the other side of the temple.

There is a lot of firewood in the temple, which is left behind by some travelers who stayed at the temple and did not use it all.

They lit a campfire and dried their clothes.

At this moment, Wang Xin finished wiping the Buddha statues in the temple and sat down next to Xiao Mo.

The middle-aged man and his group glanced at Xiao Mo and Wang Xin from time to time.

The combination of "swordsman and monk" is really too strange.

She was even a female monk.

This female monk was also extremely beautiful.

Although she had no black hair, her flawless appearance and pure temperament made her seem like a fairy who had descended to earth.

The middle-aged man struck up a conversation with Xiao Mo, saying that his name was Han Zi, that he was a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) from Qiuyue Kingdom, and that he was on his way to take up his post in Liangsha County.

However, Xiao Moli ignored him completely, and the middle-aged man named Han Zi shut his mouth.

Han Zi's daughter, Han Dongling, stared at Xiao Mo with wide eyes.

The girl's eyes sparkled; she had never seen such a handsome man before.

Before we knew it, the sky gradually darkened, and the rain outside still hadn't stopped.

Han Zi knew that it seemed she wouldn't be able to leave tonight.

"Brother, the rain is too heavy, let's go inside quickly!"

"Damn it, we finally pulled off a big one."

"Forget it, let's go back to the mountain stronghold first thing tomorrow morning."

Just as everyone was warming themselves by the fire, waiting for the sun to rise the next day, a noisy commotion arose outside.

A short while later, several burly men kicked open the temple gate.

These burly men were all carrying knives, looking fierce and menacing, and they were also carrying several boxes in their arms.

Han Zi and his family were startled.

Han Dongling quickly hid behind her father, and the guards also trembled, watching the burly men warily.

The scarred man at the head of the group glanced at the people in the temple and grinned, "It's raining heavily, so we'll stay here for the night. Don't mind."

Without waiting for everyone's consent, several burly men with knives found a place to sit down and stared intently at Xiao Mo and his companions.
