The Human Emperor (1-200)

C22: Cousin Zhu Yan

“Those fellow sure react fast!”

Wang Chong frowned.

The response from the Yao Clan came faster than he thought.

“Those two people had been following us ever since we left the house. I wasn’t able to confirm it back then, but I am sure that they are here for us now.

Meng Long came closer and whispered with an affirmative voice.

Wang Chong didn’t say a word, but a storm had already broken out in his mind.

In the Vast Crane Pavilion, he and his little sister had wrecked Yao Guang Yi’s plan. Wang Chong had tried his best to cover up the matter so as to not incur anyone’s suspicion.

However, Yao Guang Yi was a wily old fox and he was wary of everything. Could it be that his activities in the Vast Crane Pavilion had incurred the other party’s suspicion? That’s why he commanded Yao Feng to see what he is up to?

If that was true, then this wasn’t a good sign.

Wang Chong did not wish to attract their attention so early on!

“Masters, do you know scriptures?”

A thought flashed through Wang Chong’s mind. He abruptly turned around and asked the two Sindhi monks.

“Scriptures?”

The two monks were astonished by Wang Chong’s question. Even so, they replied his question honestly:

“We do know a little bit of it.”

What kind of joke is this? If a Sindhi monk didn’t know Buddhist scriptures, there wouldn’t be a single monk in the world who knew scriptures. Wang Chong’s question was equivalent to asking whether a hen could lay eggs.

“Great! Can I trouble the two masters to chant a line then?”

Wang Chong clapped his hands together and grinned.

The two foreign monks found the situation ludicrous, they were unable to comprehend the significance of Wang Chong’s actions. Even so, after the deal regarding the Hyderabad ores was confirmed, they felt as though a burden was lifted from their hearts.

It was only a small matter to chant a portion of the scripture for Wang Chong.

“Of course we can.”

The two answered frankly. The immediately started to chant a portion of the Sanskrit scriptures for Wang Chong.

…

“What is that lad up to?”

“Is he joking? He left home so early in the morning just to find these two monks to chant scriptures for him?”

Upon hearing the Sanskrit chanting from the streets, by the alley, the two Yao Residence guards stared at one another in shock. They felt as though they had been toyed with.

Wang Chong had left home so secretively, so the two thought that he had received some important intelligence or so. Yet, it turned out that he was just looking for two foreign monks to chant scriptures for him.

This was too ridiculous!

The two of them were completely unable to understand how the thoughts of these rich scions worked.

“What did I say? I said that this lad would never change, and gongzi had overestimated him! See, I am right! Take a look for yourself, is this lad even worth our effort? Our entire morning had been wasted on him!”

The Yao Residence guard with a scar on his face was filled with resentment. Seeing Wang Chong chuckling with joy from afar, he felt his anger surging through him.
