"Since Miss Tang is unwilling to accept me as her master, I will not force her. However, I see that Miss Tang has a deep connection with Buddha. How about this, I impart a section of the Lotus Sutra to Miss Tang. Is Miss Tang willing to learn it with me?"

Just learning Buddhist scriptures? Tang Rou glanced at the Lotus Sutra placed on the table by Master Ciyun, a flash of hesitation on her face, she finally nodded, "I am willing to learn this section of the Lotus Sutra with Master Ciyun!"

Just learning a part of the Lotus Sutra shouldn’t pose any problems, as long as it makes my mother happy without having to accept Master Ciyun as my master! Tang Rou thought to herself.

"Just learning one scripture? What a pity, Master Ciyun, why don’t I try to persuade Little Rou a bit more..." Ye Shufen’s face showed some regret, she felt Tang Rou was missing out on a great opportunity to accept a master, but since Master Ciyun has proposed this solution, she had no choice but to endorse it.

"No problem! As long as Miss Tang is willing to learn this true scripture with me!" Master Ciyun smiled amicably, a hint of elusive cunning in her gaze.

"Alright then! Tang Rou, you should thank Master Ciyun! This foolish girl, you’re really driving me crazy!" Ye Shufen said to Tang Rou in exasperation.

Tang Rou looked at Ye Shufen nervously, then turned to Master Ciyun, nodded slightly, and said softly, "Thank you, Master Ciyun!"

"Given that, I shall begin to recite the sutra!" Master Ciyun smiled at Tang Rou, then began speaking, "The Lotus Sutra is the final teaching of Buddha Shakyamuni, a doctrine of integrative revelation. Its supreme teachings transcend wealth and status, proclaiming that anyone can become a Buddha, thus it is regarded as the king of sutras..."

As Master Ciyun began reciting the sutra, Ye Shufen hurriedly fetched two cushions from behind the sofa, placed them on the sofa, and let Tang Rou imitate her pose, sitting cross-legged, respectfully listening to Master Ciyun’s lecture.

At this point, Tang Rou didn’t think much, only mimicked Ye Shufen’s posture, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, trying to understand Master Ciyun’s words.

Master Ciyun looked pleased, began reciting in Sanskritese, elaborating on the scriptures, "Thus I have heard. Once, Buddha resided in Rajgir City, on Mount Grdhakuta, accompanied by twelve thousand Bhikkus. All were Arhats, free from all afflictions, no longer troubled, having achieved self-benefit, ended all ties, achieved self-liberation..."

Soon, Tang Rou and Ye Shufen felt the environment around them had changed; they were no longer sitting in a small villa in Snow City but appeared atop a grand mountain, surrounded by over ten thousand Arhats dressed in monk robes. Before them, Master Ciyun transformed into the true Buddha form of Shakyamuni, as grand as a mountain. Each word from her mouth seemed to carry infinite power, mesmerizing the two!

Such a miraculous scene immediately fascinated Tang Rou.

And Ye Shufen, who had long aspired towards Buddhism, seeing such a vision, almost couldn’t resist exclaiming aloud!

Seeing Ye Shufen and Tang Rou easily influenced by the visions conjured from the scriptures, Master Ciyun’s face showed a trace of pride, thinking it would be difficult, yet it turned out even easier than expected! Later, she would slightly relax her spiritual power on Ye Shufen, then tell her the remaining twenty-some Chapters of the sutra need to be studied slowly back in Harbor City with Tang Rou. Naturally, she could effortlessly take Tang Rou back to Harbor City, and when the genius Tang Rou fully learns these twenty-eight Chapters of the Amazing Lotus Sutra, she would become a spotless follower of Buddha, then whether she becomes a disciple of Master Ciyun is of no consequence!

If there weren’t a fourth person in the villa, Master Ciyun would have achieved her goal already, unfortunately, Zhou Yang was still there, and Zhou Yang was not a person easily deceived!

At the moment Master Ciyun recited the sutra, Zhou Yang was involuntarily drawn into the Illusory Realm, also saw the true Buddha form of Shakyamuni as tall as a mountain... however, Zhou Yang reacted immediately, not indulging in the Illusory Realm, but relentlessly bit his tongue!

Kak!

Zhou Yang bit his tongue intensely, his upper and lower rows of teeth almost shattered!

The tongue tip was instantly bitten off, the intense pain crashing like a violent electric current through Zhou Yang’s mind, pulling him swiftly out of the world of illusions and back to reality!

Puh... Zhou Yang spat a mouthful of bloody water, glanced towards the living room, found Master Ciyun still reciting the sutra continuously. Her eye brows faintly emitted white Buddha light, enveloping Ye Shufen and Tang Rou completely, while the two women, eyes closed, wore smiles as if comprehending true meaning, naturally revealing joy.

"Audacious Demon Nun! How dare you use such vile means to confuse people’s minds, I, Zhou Yang, will not let you succeed!" Although Zhou Yang didn’t know Ciyun’s real purpose, he knew clearly that Tang Rou definitely didn’t want to convert to Buddhism. However, presently, Master Ciyun was obviously using manipulative tactics to forcibly confuse Tang Rou, which made him intensely angry, thus he couldn’t help but curse loudly.

Zhou Yang’s curses had no effect on Ye Shufen because Ye Shufen was unfamiliar with Zhou Yang, automatically ignoring his words.

While Tang Rou was quite familiar with Zhou Yang, upon hearing his angry curses, she vaguely felt that indulging in the Illusory Realm seemed a bit wrong, yet, deeply enmeshed, Tang Rou didn’t understand what was wrong, showing a hint of struggle on her face!

"Humph! Whence comes this external demon, dare to disturb my disciple’s comprehension of true scriptures, courting death!" Master Ciyun noticed Zhou Yang’s presence, her face showing a trace of anger, then she slightly pinched a tactic at Zhou Yang, flicked remotely!

Swish! Only hearing a sharp piercing sound, a clearly visible white light shot towards Zhou Yang like a sword!

Zhou Yang knew the white light wasn’t simple, he intended to evade, but as the thought arose, the white light had already pierced through his right scapula...

Puh!

Zhou Yang only felt the whole person pierced by a high-speed flying steel spike, his right shoulder aching intensely, and in the next moment, it seemed as if his entire right arm lost sensation, scorching hot blood trickling out!

Having severely injured Zhou Yang with one strike, convinced Zhou Yang lacked the ability to disrupt further, Master Ciyun continued reciting the sutra, kept controlling Ye Shufen’s and Tang Rou’s minds...

Nevertheless, Master Ciyun didn’t notice, at the moment she paused the scriptures to deal with Zhou Yang, the jade bracelet on Tang Rou’s wrist faintly emitted a weak glow, transmitting into Tang Rou’s wrist.

A sense of clarity, at the most crucial moment, entered Tang Rou’s heart, preventing her from completely losing herself in the Illusory Realm of the Lotus Sutra.
