"You actually have the nerve to ask the master about such a trivial matter. Don't you know that you have already messed up something?"

"Yes..." Ren Tiannan didn't make any excuses.

He took the initiative to take off his coat, and then took off the black shirt underneath.

When the monk brought a bench, he lay down on it obediently and hugged one end of the bench with his hands.

If he makes a mistake, he must be punished. Even if he has been with his master for so many years, the rules still cannot be broken.

For impersonating Luo Shuntian and killing Luo Shuntian, the master gave him enough resources. Everything should have been under his control. He only needed to give an order to get rid of Sheng Xichen and Shi Xiyue.

But in the end, he failed.

Compared to Lin Baiyuan's contribution to his master, he was like a waste.

"Beat." The monk ordered the monk holding the wooden stick.

The wooden stick hit Ren Tiannan hard on the back. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to endure the pain from his body.

Their attacks were extremely heavy-handed, and they used clever techniques. He could not break Ren Tiannan's bones, but he could feel the pain of flesh and blood.

Soon his back was torn open and blood stained the sticks, but they still didn't stop.

It wasn't until Ren Tiannan was beaten until he fainted that the monk asked them to stop.

In order to avoid delaying the master's important event, the monk brought a basin of cold water and poured it directly on Ren Tiannan's back.

"Ah..." Ren Tiannan screamed in heart-rending pain, all convulsing, and rolled directly off the bench.

"Go and see the master." The monk threw the iron basin in his hand to the ground and reminded Ren Tiannan in a cold voice.

"Yes." Ren Tiannan bit his lip and gasped in pain.

After the five monks left, the men in black helped Ren Tiannan up from the ground and carefully put on his clothes.

He wiped the sweat off his face, straightened his appearance, then staggered forward and gently pushed open the door of the meditation room.

The men in black stood outside the door with their hands behind their backs, and no one dared to take another step forward.

Ren Tiannan closed the door of the meditation room with his backhand when he saw Shi Minglong sitting cross-legged on the mat opposite. He quickly walked over and knelt on the cushion opposite the coffee table.

"Owner."

He supported his thighs with both hands, lowered his head and shouted respectfully.

The clear sound of banging the wooden fish echoed clearly in the Zen room.

"Master, please...please punish me," Ren Tiannan said choked with sobs.

After a while, the sound of the wooden fish stopped.

However, Ren Tiannan still lowered his head, not daring to raise his head to face Shi Minglong opposite him.

He knew how cruel his master was. On the surface, his master was a kind old monk, but he did exactly the opposite. More cold and cruel than the devil.

Even if it is the most important subordinate around him, once he makes a mistake, he will give him a poison without mercy, making it worse than death. In the end, he can only choose to commit suicide to end his life.

Lin Boyuan could be said to be the person he raised single-handedly. However, when he died, this hypocritical monk acted as if nothing had happened.

"Where is she?" Shi Minglong said coldly in a hoarse voice.

"It has been brought to the laboratory." Ren Tiannan's head dropped lower again. "But...she threatened to die and wanted to see...a woman named Shi...ah..." Rou.

Before Ren Tiannan could finish his words, he was hit on the forehead by a teacup.

Cherry-red blood slowly flowed down his forehead, and he could only kneel down, pretending that nothing happened.

Shi Minglong's sinister gaze rested on Ren Tiannan.

"Do you know why I hit you?"

"No... please let me know clearly, Master." Ren Tiannan directly knocked his forehead on the floor and supported it with both hands.

"That's all..." Shi Minglong sighed longly. "This may be life..." He stood up from the mat and said coldly: "Follow me."

It is destined that in this life, Ren Tiannan will still have a chance to see Shirou. And Shirou's daughter also has a chance to see her again.

It's a pity that everything has changed a long time ago, and it will never be possible to go back.

Ren Tiannan followed Shi Minglong closely, and they were alone.

They passed through the temple without a Buddhist temple and walked out from the back door of the temple.

The back door is against the back mountain and is not open to the public on weekdays. Therefore, outside tourists and Buddhist believers do not know that there is such a door.

Outside the door was a bamboo forest. There was a path in the bamboo forest. They kept walking along the path into the bamboo forest.

Ren Tiannan has followed Shi Minglong for so many years, but not only has he never been here, he doesn't even know about this place.

A lotus pond appeared in the bamboo forest at this time. This season is when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. The lotus pond is full of pink lotus flowers, which are extremely gorgeous.

There was a wooden door opposite the lotus pond. Shi Minglong pushed the door open, revealing an exquisite wooden house inside. There are also some fruits and vegetables grown in the courtyard.

"Owner……"

The two maids who were cleaning the yard saluted him respectfully when they saw him.

The maids wear veils, and judging from their figures, you can tell that they are no more than thirty years old.

"Where's the lady?" Shi Minglong asked indifferently.

Listening to the words from his master's mouth, Ren Tiannan had a look of shock on his face, but he quickly concealed it.

Who is Shirou?

The master brought him here, so he must have met Shirou. He now calls that woman 'Miss'. Could it be that she is the master's daughter?

"Miss is in the backyard."

The maid on the left replied.

Apart from the two of them, only the 'Miss' lives here. There is also a male servant who is responsible for delivering daily necessities to them.

Other than that, only Shi Minglong came here.

Shi Minglong walked along the wooden house to the backyard. This place was originally a mountain forest, and he specially made it into a paradise, a fairyland on earth.

When he was in Yaowang Valley, he imagined that after marrying Ren Ruoxue, he would be able to live in such a peaceful place. It's a pity...she never gave her a chance.

The scenery in the backyard is more beautiful than the front yard. It is backed by a cliff. Clear water flows on the cliff, as beautiful as a waterfall. There are many colorful flowers blooming on the ground.

This flower...is a Gesang flower.

Among the flowers, there was a woman in a white dress picking those beautiful flowers.

There are butterflies of various colors flying among the flowers, which is simply beautiful.

"Haha... don't run..." The woman held a bouquet of picked flowers in her hand. She ran among the flowers, chasing a yellow butterfly.

The butterflies danced gracefully, and her behavior alarmed other butterflies, and a large number of butterflies surrounded her.

Ren Tiannan listened to the woman's laughter and subconsciously stopped.
