Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The director was clearly very excited and stuttered. Because of Wu Ju’s words, the number of people in the live-streaming room skyrocketed.
What the audience wanted to see was novelty.
If these celebrities, who were popular and good-looking, followed the old monk to cultivate and chant scriptures, it would be very fun to watch.
On the other hand, it was obvious that Wu Ju had finally reached his limit after two days. If they didn’t listen to him, they would have to leave.
The fans cursed, but the director was overjoyed.
This new variety show was going to become a hit.
Lu Qiuran thought of the benefits and popularity the show would bring her after it became popular. She nodded. “I’m sorry, Father. 1 didn’t consider it carefully and caused you trouble. We’ll do as you said.”
Wu Ju nodded, his expression still stern. “You’ve been away for the past few years, and your health has deteriorated a lot. You can use this time to recuperate. I see that your friends don’t look healthy. There are some dried herbs that can be used to make soup.”
Wu Ju was still stern, but his words showed concern for them.
Lu Qiuran nodded.
Mu Xue was a little surprised. “Master Lu, do you know how to treat illnesses?”
Wu Ju nodded. “I’ve learned some medical skills and know a little.”
u Qingjin had been in Qingshan Temple for more than 20 years, so it was inevitable that he would fall sick one day and have to treat himself. He was far away from the secular world, so he naturally had to be self-sufficient in everything.
No one took Wu Ju’s words to heart. They had already received the director’s instructions.
They naturally did not want to miss such a good opportunity. After all, they were not the ones being scolded.
“If you don’t have any objections, from tomorrow onwards, put down your identities in the outside world for the time being. After a month, you can leave. You’ll still be the same as before.”
After saying that, Wu Ju seemed to have expected what they would ask next. He added calmly, “Next, you can ask me some questions. I’ll answer them one by one because from tomorrow onwards, you can’t ask.”
Wang Zixiao and the others were immediately excited. They did not look at their phones now, but they could already hear the excited voices of the director, asking them to ask some questions.
Mu Xue immediately raised her hand. She seemed to have been holding it in for a long time.
Wu Ju looked at her and gestured for her to speak.
Mu Xue immediately said, “Master Lu, you raised Qiuran, right? This is also her home, right? Why did you call her a guest just now? Did you not acknowledge her as your daughter from the bottom of your heart? Do you know that Qiuran wants to find your biological daughter for you?”
Lu Qiuran seemed to be a little afraid. She quickly pulled Mu Xue and begged in a low voice, “Xue, stop it.”
Mu Xue didn’t listen and continued, “Master Lu, if this question offends you, my apologies. Whether you answer or not is up to you.”
Lu Qiuran held Mu Xue’s hand, hoping that she would not ask this. However, she looked at Wu Ju expectantly, as if she had the same question in her heart.
Wu Ju was not angered nor did he show any emotions. He said calmly, “First question, this is not her house or anyone’s house. I’m just temporarily in charge of this place. Everyone is a guest. Second question, she’s not my daughter. Buddha brought us together by fate. I’m just instructed by the Dao to raise her up. Third question, if I’m fated to meet my biological daughter, we’ll meet one day.”
Wu Ju did not avoid it. He answered directly.
Mu Xue found the answers satisfactory, but Lu Qiuran seemed to be hurt and tears welled up in her eyes.
Wang Zixiao asked, “Master Lu, I want to ask if you’ve really lived here for more than 20 years. Are you self-sufficient in food and clothes? Previously, Qiuran said that you made all her clothes when she was young. Did you also make the clothes you’re wearing now?”
Wu Ju nodded. “I’ve lived here for 23 years. The surrounding land is enough to fill my stomach, and 1 made all the clothes.”
Sui Yuan asked, “Then where did you get your income? It’s said that monks don’t eat meat. Why are you eating meat? Are you breaking the rule? Aren’t you afraid that others will criticize you for eating meat?”
Sui Yuan wanted to ask if he was a hypocrite.
Wu Ju glanced at Sui Yuan. “When the nearby villagers need my help, they will pay me. As for food, 1 cultivate the Dao of the heart. There are not many rules. I have a clear conscience. Why would I mind what others say about me?”
Wu Ju’s straightforwardness made Su Yuan feel ashamed of himself. He wanted to look at the comments on his phone, but under Wu Ju’s stern gaze, he really did not dare to take out his phone.
Chu Nan also wanted to ask, but after Sui Yuan asked, he gave up.
Jiang Tongtong seemed to have mustered her courage for a long time and asked in a soft voice, “Master Lu, do you usually treat people?”
Hearing Jiang Tongtong’s question, Wu Ju looked away from Sui Yuan to Jiang Tongtong. “Yes, some old people at the foot of the mountain will come to me for help. I’ll give them some herbs.”
People who had depression also wanted to be saved. No one was willing to struggle in the darkness. They also yearned to be enveloped by the warm sunlight.
Jiang Tongtong also wanted to be saved, but no one could hear her cries of pain.
Jiang Tongtong did not dare to look Wu Ju in the eye, so when Wu Ju looked at her, she quickly lowered her head and praised softly, “Master Lu, you’re amazing.”
Wu Ju said slowly, “If you’re interested, you can come to take a look while I’m treating the patient..”
