In the backyard of Mulian Temple, outside the largest bedroom in the east wing.
"Amitabha, the past has become a thing of the past, so why should the female donor be so persistent?"
The real old abbot was standing in the corridor of the courtyard at the moment, asking the young lady of the Li family helplessly at the door of the room.
"Master, you are already a monk, so naturally you won't care about this."
The girl stared at the old man opposite with a sad face, and the resentment and unwillingness in her tone could almost be heard by anyone.
"But do you remember the little daughter of the Lu family who was abandoned by you? She has not forgotten you to this day."
At this point, the girl's tone paused slightly, and the look of sadness on her face became more intense.
"Dad! Let me call you 'Dad' again..."
"Sixteen years ago, you didn't say a word, abandoned your family and children, and came to this hellish place to become a monk..."
"No one in the family blames you, even my mother has never blamed you."
"But I'm different. If my mother hadn't been critically ill this time, I don't think I would have come here to find you in my life!"
"Li Lifu! If you really still have some conscience, come home with me tomorrow to see my mother for the last time."
"After this, whether you want to cultivate immortality and become a Buddha, or end your mortal bond, it has nothing to do with me..."
"I just think that my father died before I was born, and I will never come to this ruined temple to bother you again!"
At the end of the sentence, the girl's voice suddenly increased, and the sadness in her tone instantly turned into resentment and anger over her misfortune.
"Yanran..."
Staring blankly at the grown-up girl, the old abbot's memory seemed to go back to sixteen years ago, when she was still an infant.
"It turns out that you have grown so big."
He couldn't help but sigh in a low voice. The old abbot still remembers the feeling of taking over the baby girl from the midwife's hands.
That kind of natural blood relationship made the lonely old abbot realize for the first time what family affection is and what family is.
Especially the "wife" who looked pale but still showed off her daughter to him with a smile...
Even today, the old abbot still remembers it fresh.

【Fuck! What is going on? 】
Just running from the direction of the Main Hall, Pei Wende heard the explosive conversation between the old abbot and Li Yanran before he could make any move.
[The old abbot has children? So he's not a monster? 】
His eyes widened in disbelief, and Pei Wende felt that his jaw was almost dropped.
If the old abbot is human, then where is that eye-catching white-fronted giant tiger now?
And what is going on with all the weird things this temple exhibits?
Did that female ghost really lie to herself?
Or is it the eye-catching white-fronted giant tiger hidden behind her that is spying on this temple?
So you want to lure yourself here by borrowing a knife to kill someone?
If you think about it according to this logic, it seems that it can be explained.
After all, Hui Ji had already said that there seemed to be some kind of treasure "worshipped by evil spirits" being nurtured in the Main Hall, and it was a matter of course that it attracted the attention of the eye-catching white-fronted giant tiger.
"But the hatred she showed doesn't seem fake?"
Pei Wende, who was puzzled and wanted to continue thinking, suddenly heard a roar from behind him.
Roar!
It's like a lion roaring and a tiger roaring, and like an evil ghost...
This sudden roar not only startled Pei Wende, but also attracted the attention of the old abbot and Li Yanran who were talking.
"It's you?"
First of all, it was not the old abbot who spoke, but Li Yanran who looked stunned.
Because the two of them accidentally saw Pei Wende hiding in the shadows.
However, the old abbot seemed to have noticed him a long time ago and did not show any surprise.
"How will you be here?"
In shock, Li Yanran even forgot about the wolf-like roar just now, and couldn't help but question loudly.
For Li Yanran, who has been under the protection of her mother since she was a child and has very strong abilities and personality, it is absolutely unacceptable for outsiders to know that her father has abandoned his wife and children.
"You wouldn't believe me if I said it was just a coincidence."
Knowing that he appeared at the wrong time, Pei Wende didn't care much about this young lady who was obviously from a big family, and turned around and ran in the direction of the roar.
"The top priority now is to save people!"
"The roar just now... came from near the maids' rooms!"
Because she was afraid that outsiders would know about her "scandal", when Li Yanran arranged accommodation in a wing, she deliberately placed her maid in a wing relatively far away from her.
This was originally a normal arrangement, and I had already guessed that some secretive maids did not show much rejection.
But under the current circumstances, this originally normal arrangement has become a terrible "death reminder."
Not sure whether the roar was coming from the eye-catching white-fronted giant tiger, Pei Wende was afraid that the maids would have been brutally murdered before he even got to the wing where they lived.
"Chunlan and the others..."
Realizing this, the frightened Li Yanran instinctively planned to follow, but was stopped by the old abbot, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
"Don't go there..."
Just like any father who cares about his daughter, the old abbot, who did not want Li Yanran to be in danger, showed strength that was inconsistent with his age at this moment.
With just a slight press, the old abbot held a girl weighing 100 or 80 pounds in place, unable to move.
"father?"
Li Yanran felt that she had been surprised more times today than in the entire previous half of her life.
Not to mention the inexplicable young man, let’s talk about the old man in front of me...
Is this still the image of a father who cannot lift his shoulders or lift his hands?
"They're coming for me."
Without giving Li Yanran any time to react, the old abbot raised his eyes and looked at Pei Wende's leaving figure, with complex emotions in his eyes that he had never shown before.
"Dad, what on earth is going on?"
Noticing the complex emotions of the old abbot in time, Li Yanran, who was still a little angry with him, unconsciously lowered her voice and her tone became softer.
After all, although the old abbot became a monk, he did not completely abandon his wife and children.
This can be seen from the private room he always prepared for Li Yanran. He felt strong guilt towards the mother and daughter.
"This is the sin I made in the first half of my life."
"Reincarnation of cause and effect, unsatisfactory retribution..."
