The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Countless eyes and countless reporters were waiting for midnight on that fateful day because it was the last day as stipulated by Fangzheng!

Dong!

“The three days are up! Haha, Abbot Fangzheng, are you planning to expel those who haven’t gone?”

“I just want to know how Abbot Fangzheng will expel them.”

“Abbot Fangzheng, don’t disappoint me. My news will depend on you.”

“F*ck off, news? The entire nation is paying attention to Abbot Fangzheng’s Weibo. Haha…”

…

At the stroke of midnight, the Internet turned to pandemonium. For the first time in Weibo history, many people gathered together in the middle of the night because of one person, his words, and a time!

The number of posts kept coming in, and it even broke the usual midnight post record!

At the same time, at the entrance of One Finger Monastery.

“Venerable Jingxin, it’s me. Let me in,” pleaded Jing Yan with a pitiful look.

Red Boy shook his head and said, “No, no. Master said that no matter who it is, no one is allowed in. In short, during this period of time, Master will see no one.”

Jing Yan asked indignantly, “I really can’t see him?”

Red Boy said, “Yes. Absolutely not.”

Jing Yan took out a lollipop from her pocket and asked with a smile, “You really can’t let me enter? If you let me in, these are all yours.”

Red Boy’s eyes lit up when he saw that!

Recently, One Finger Monastery was tight on cash and Fangzheng did not give them any pocket money. Indeed, he had not eaten snacks for a very long time. When he suddenly saw a lollipop, he was truly moved.

Jing Yan said, “Venerable Jingxin, you know that just a tiny move from your master can be explosive news! The entire country is watching One Finger Monastery. If anyone can obtain an exclusive interview, that will be a big boost in their career! They will be star reporters! My future depends on you. Please.”

Red Boy looked up at Jing Yan, but in fact, his gaze was focused on the lollipop. He was wondering how he could trick her to give him the lollipop without disobeying his master’s orders.

Suddenly, Monkey’s voice sounded from behind Red Boy. “Don’t bother entering. Master isn’t inside either. It’s late at night. The back mountain is rather cooling.”

Jing Yan was delighted when she heard that. She turned around and ran.

“Patron, candy!”

Only then did Jing Yan come to a realization. She turned around and gave the lollipops to Monkey. “Venerable Jingzhen is the best. I’m giving it to you!”

Then, Jing Yan widened her stride and ran over with Old Miao.

Red Boy’s eyes turned red when he saw this. He shouted, “Senior Brother, how can you intercept me?”

Monkey slowly unwrapped a lollipop and licked it. “I only said it after you held it in for so long. I gave you the chance, but you didn’t seize it. Who can you blame?”

Red Boy was about to grit his teeth as Monkey handed over a lollipop. “Do you want it?”

Red Boy’s anger instantly melted into a smile. “Yes, Senior Brother is the best.”

Monkey immediately retracted his hand and said, “I was just letting you take a look. You are overthinking things.”

“I’ll beat you to death!” Red Boy yelled as he chased Monkey under the moonlight.

Jing Yan led Old Miao around Mt. One Finger’s mountaintop. Although Mt. One Finger wasn’t big, it was only relative to other mountains. It was actually quite a distance.

After running for a while, Jing Yan saw a white figure standing on a rock protruding from the east side. He had one hand behind his back as he looked up into the distance, as though he was looking up at the stars. His every move looked otherworldly.

Jing Yan got Old Miao to stay still and wait. She went over to take a look, unwilling to disturb Fangzheng’s cultivation.

At that moment, Fangzheng was looking up into the sky as he muttered, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have drunk so much water. I have pissed thrice tonight. I can’t even sleep…”

If Jing Yan knew that Fangzheng was mumbling, she would probably have the urge to kick him down.

“Master, what are you doing?” Jing Yan came over and asked.

Fangzheng jumped in fright when he heard the question. He muttered inwardly, “Thankfully, I’m done peeing. Otherwise, I would have been so embarrassed…”

Fangzheng quickly tightened his pants with his other hand, stowed away his penis, and said calmly, “Patron, why are you here?”

“Why am I here? It’s all because of the huge news you created. I wouldn’t have come,” said Jing Yan bitterly.

Fangzheng asked in puzzlement, “What news?”

“What news? You don’t know?” Jing Yan was stunned.

Fangzheng returned with a question. “Should I know?”

“Didn’t you say that you would expel the doctors that didn’t report to the hospitals in the west within three days? Now, countless people in the country are waiting without sleep for your actions. Yet, you tell me that you aren’t aware?” Jing Yan was dumbfounded as she thought to herself, “Could this be a misunderstanding? Fangzheng has been hacked?”

Fangzheng was enlightened when he heard that. He smacked his head and said in embarrassment, “Heh, if you didn’t tell me, I really wouldn’t have remembered. What time is it now?”

Jing Yan was instantly rendered speechless. The darn baldy’s one passage left no peace for China. No, he had stirred up trouble for the entire world. Others might not know, but Jing Yan liked to visit foreign forums. Fangzheng’s matters might not affect the citizens of foreign countries, but the governments were watching.

After all, for Fangzheng’s medical skills, several countries nearly went to war with China!

Fangzheng’s expulsion of a batch of students was something they were eagerly waiting for. They even wondered if they could hire the students that Fangzheng expelled. This was equivalent to obtaining Fangzheng’s medical skills.

However, they couldn’t figure out what the magical monk, Fangzheng, was referring to when he talked about expulsion. Therefore, they were all watching…

However, who would have expected that the darn baldy would forget about this matter after causing the unrest!

Jing Yan really had the urge to charge forward and kick the darn baldy to death.

However, Jing Yan held back and answered, “00:15.”

Fangzheng smacked his lips. “It’s already so late… Alright, go home and sleep. Patron, aren’t you sleeping?”

When Jing Yan heard that, she felt like she had been struck by lightning. She stood rooted to the ground in a daze as she grinned. “Go home and sleep? You can sleep?”

Fangzheng said calmly, “Why can’t This Penniless Monk? This Penniless Monk has his fill on this mountain and has nothing to do, so This Penniless Monk naturally can sleep soundly. Oh, drink less water, and the quality of sleep will be better. Patron, are you really not going to sleep?”

Jing Yan said, “Abbot Fangzheng, can you stop joking? The entire world is watching. Wait. Are you… Sigh? I haven’t even finished speaking.”

“Yawn… Patron, it’s late and This Penniless Monk is really sleepy. We can talk about it tomorrow. Goodnight…” Fangzheng waved his hand and left.
