BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1523
Chapter 1523: No
The young monk went out to prepare tea. A few minutes later, the abbot lifted the curtain and walked out.
She pressed her palms together and bowed slightly to greet them.
The abbot, Hao Ran, was already a sage.
In the end, she sat opposite Shen Fanxing and Bo Jinchuan.
Her gaze lingered on the two of them for a while before she looked at Sang Yu and Xu Qingzhi. She smiled and nodded.
“Greetings, Patrons.”
He smiled as his gaze landed on Bo Jinchuan and Shen Fanxing.
Bo Jinchuan’s facial features were well-defined and gentle. His long eyebrows were flat and his eyes were distant. He was calm and reserved, and no emotions could be seen.
He sat there without moving, his noble aura enough to show his extraordinary status.
Facing the abbot’s gaze, his brows twitched slightly as he glanced at him casually.
The abbot didn’t seem to be embarrassed about being caught. He smiled faintly and his gaze landed on Shen Fanxing.
“Patron, do you have anything to ask me?”
Shen Fanxing was surprised by the abbot’s bluntness.
However, she quickly regained her composure.
“There are so many people here. Why are you so sure that I’m the only one who has questions for you?”
The abbot smiled and said, “Because other than this gentleman, you’re the only one who’s hostile to me. You’re confident and have an extraordinary fate. Even if you pursue fame and fortune your entire life, you won’t ask for anything. However, a hero is ultimately more difficult than a beauty…”
As he spoke, he paused and looked at Shen Fanxing meaningfully. “Although he’s indifferent, he’s too paranoid…”
Shen Fanxing paused and turned to look at Bo Jinchuan.
The abbot smiled again. “You seem to be dissatisfied with me, so his hostility is too obvious.”
In other words, no one could bully Shen Fanxing. Otherwise, he would not let anyone off.
Looking at Bo Jinchuan, who was frowning at the abbot’s words, Shen Fanxing smiled.
The abbot was right.
“Then, do you have something to ask me?”
Shen Fanxing composed herself and her expression turned serious. Her eyes were filled with coldness and mockery.
“Since the abbot is so resourceful, why don’t you guess why I’m looking for you?”
His words had messed up her life back then.
How could she not complain about him?
His words had nearly destroyed her.
The abbot continued to smile at her as he watched the little monk place the tea tray on the table before pouring tea for them.
When everyone’s tea was served, she looked up at Shen Fanxing and said slowly,
“Patron, everyone has their own fate. You’re destined to be in the Shen family.”
Miss Shen was stunned.
Xu Qingzhi’s heart skipped a beat and she looked at the abbot cautiously. “How… do you know her surname?”
“Everyone has their own fate. There’s no one else in this world.”
This time, even Bo Jinchuan looked at the old man.
“The Shen family has a daughter who was born with the fate of a phoenix. The phoenix hides in the forest, and it’s difficult for it to return to its nest. It’s a villain. It’s destined to be in many swaddling clothes, and it’s born from death. The phoenix’s nirvana is to live on a tree and choose a phoenix to grow old…”
Shen Fanxing was speechless.
“Of course, my appearance is also your destiny,” the abbot continued. If he hadn’t appeared, Jiang Rongrong wouldn’t have believed him and ended up ruining her and Shen Qianrou’s lives.
“It’s true that monks don’t lie. Haven’t you realized it yet?”
Sang Yu’s eyes widened in shock.
“Born with a phoenix fate… Is this… Sister-in-law, aren’t you the princess of Country Y?”
Xu Qingzhi continued, “Does that mean that you couldn’t return to the Shen family after you were sent overseas? And after you returned to the country, what Jiang Rongrong and Shen Qianrou did caused you to be unable to return to the Shen family?
The abbot smiled faintly and said, “You’ve lived a noble life, but you have too much karma on you. Karma creates tribulations. The world is unpredictable, but you have to maintain a certain balance. There are gains and losses. Benefits will always be harmful. There will always be returns.”
Shen Fanxing pressed her lips tightly. When she spoke again, her voice was laced with mockery.
“Karma? What mistake did I make? What cause did I sow? I’m a member of the Shen family. Why do I have to experience that?!”
“The Shen family should have been my shelter. Everyone in the Shen family should have been my closest kin in this world. I’ve never thought of forcing them to do those so-called fearless and selfless sacrifices to me, but I should have the appearance of a relative. I don’t ask them to love me and protect me, but I beg them not to abandon me at the critical moment. Don’t hit me when I’m helpless. Don’t try to drag me down when I’m successful!
If it was someone else, it would be fine. But I would never care about someone I had nothing to do with.
But they’re not unrelated! Even if I’m injured by anyone, it’s better than them stabbing me!”
The resentment and hatred that had accumulated for years had finally been vented today.
Although the Shen family no longer had a place in her heart, she couldn’t deny that she had been abandoned by the Shen family time and time again. She had been hurt time and time again and pressed down on them step by step. What had her heart experienced to become so calm?
From the moment she found out that Jiang Rongrong had treated her like this because of such a reason, she felt helpless.
Shen Fanxing’s life had been ruined because of a monk’s words.
Betrayal!
Everything she had experienced in the first half of her life was the betrayal of the person closest to her!
What had she done to cause such karma?
Shen Fanxing’s rare coldness and hysteria silenced everyone.
They had been watching her from start to finish.
Xu Qingzhi knew what Shen Fanxing had gone through all these years.
Even if she didn’t say it, how could she not tell that she was pretending to be strong?
But even though she was her closest friend, she could not share any of her sadness.
She didn’t understand why so many people could say that they were best friends and share the pain.
God knew how much she hoped that Fanxing would feel better. If she could really share the pain, she could definitely do so.
But could he really do it?
‘I can’t.’
This was something that both she and Fanxing understood.
They had always known that no one could bear the pain for them.
Not at all.
