Chapter 240 The Xia Family

Li Lei looked at her unmoved.

Xia Ling mustered up the courage to look at him. Their gazes were silently locked in the air, competing.

Finally, she was defeated, with a cry that could not be concealed in her voice: "Li Lei, don't be such a bully!" All the grievances she had felt over the past few days came to her heart, and she regretted why she had provoked him in the first place. .

That hint of crying made his heart hurt.

what happened to him? How could he force his beloved woman into such a situation? Obviously, he wanted to protect her so much and give her the best in the world, but why did they end up in this situation?

Li Lei clenched his fingers into a fist where she couldn't see him. After a long time, he let go and got out of the car.

Xia Ling couldn't believe that he just went out like that. She didn't have time to think about it, so she took the time to change into clothes, a sweater and long trousers, covering herself tightly. After she packed everything, Li Lei returned to the car, glanced at her, and asked the driver to get in the car.

The car drove along the highway towards the airport. Along the way, neither of them spoke.

Xia Ling's heart was still beating wildly, and she sat upright, fearing that she might offend him again.

Li Lei was still leaning on the back seat next to the brown window glass, silently looking at her pale profile. After taking off her makeup, she couldn't hide the haggard look on her face. She must have been living a difficult life. There was not a trace of blood on his cheeks.

He wanted to reach out and touch her, to hold her slender body in his arms.

However, seeing her frightened expression, he forced himself to hold back.

Xia Ling looked at the scenery outside the window.

Originally, she thought he was just taking her to a nearby temple. However, when the car stopped at the airport, they changed planes and then changed to a special car after getting off the plane. They drove for a long time, winding along the winding mountain road. , finally arrived at a small temple deep in the mountains. The incense was deserted and the people were deserted.

"It's more effective here." As if seeing her doubts, he explained lightly.

Xia Ling didn't ask any questions, followed him in, knelt down on the futon, and prayed silently. What to pray for? I hope that Buddha will protect her one day from the oppression of those powerful people and gain true freedom...

She didn't know if this wish could come true, but she had nothing else to ask for.

After offering incense, Li Lei took her to talk to the abbot of the temple.

The host was an old man with a pale face, wearing a loose monk's robe and looking graceful. He clasped his hands together, chatted with the two for a few words, and then ordered the young novice to arrange a female-only room for Xia Ling and take her to rest.

He himself left Li Lei to speak in the Zen room dedicated to the host.

"Is this the female donor?" he asked.

"Yes," Li Lei's calm eyes showed concern along the way, "Abbot Kongji, what do you think of Xiao Ling's face? Is it really like what my grandfather said, the punishment of being a widower or a widower?"

This was the real purpose of bringing Xia Ling here. He still didn't believe that his grandfather's assertion was true, and he would not give up without bringing her to ask the Taoist monk. Abbot Kongji had a good relationship with the Li family and often showed them Feng Shui. Moreover, Mr. Li also learned many of his physiognomy skills from him.

Hearing this, Abbot Kongji pondered for a moment: "Judging from her appearance, she is indeed lonely and widowed. I told you that when you sent me the photo of the female benefactor." But Li Lei refused to give up, fearing that he would Not looking closely enough in the photo, Baba brought the real person. The advent of what love is? It's all bad fate, bad fate.

Abbot Kongji looked at Li Lei with a bit of compassion in his eyes.

Li Lei's heart sank when he saw him: "Is there no other possibility?"

"There are a few places that are difficult to explain." Abbot Kongji said slowly. This was also the reason why he didn't object to Li Lei bringing her here in person - like Mr. Li, he also believed that this girl would never survive to adulthood, but according to Li Lei, she was already eighteen years old this year. .

"Did you bring the birth date of the female benefactor?" Abbot Kongji asked.

"Bring it." Li Lei said quickly and handed over a note.

Abbot Kongji took the horoscope and calculated it. The more he calculated it, the more solemn his expression became.

"Is there something wrong?" Li Lei asked anxiously.

After a while, Abbot Kongji raised his head: "I'm not very good at academics. It seems that I need to consult an expert about this female benefactor." Even if the birth date is added, it means that he died young. What happened? wrong? Fortunately, when he looked at the photo before, he had a vague feeling that the girl's face was not simple, so he specially invited an expert to come and take a closer look.

"Who is he?" Li Lei asked. As far as he knew, Abbot Kongji was already the top person in this field. Who else could be more powerful than this abbot?

Hearing this, Abbot Kongji smiled slightly, but did not answer.

He asked Li Lei to sit in the Zen room for a while while he took Xia Ling's birth date and went to pay her respects.

Li Lei said, "I'll go with you." It was about Xiao Ling, and he was very concerned about it.

But Zen Master Kongji stopped him: "That person is not someone you can offend casually. Even if your grandfather comes, you may not be able to meet him. Master Lei, listen to me and wait in the Zen room. If that person is willing to see you, then I will definitely summon you, but if he doesn’t want to see you...then the best choice is not to offend him."

There is always some mystery and mystery in Zen affairs.

Li Lei really didn't dare to offend the legendary master. He had grown up with Mr. Li and had heard quite a lot of strange stories. He had some respect and fear for the ways of ghosts and gods.

He forced himself to calm down and waited in the meditation room.

Zen Master Kong Ji took his birthday horoscope, walked into the backyard along a secret and quiet path, and knocked on a silent door.

Inside the door was a small room, neat and clean, except for a desk. Standing at the table was a man in white clothes. His handsome appearance seemed to be very young, but his exact age could not be seen. He seemed to exude an aura that made people feel awe.

Even Abbot Kong Ji stopped by the door and called respectfully, "Master Xia."

The word "National Teacher" is an honorific title for a man.

If there are any unpredictable families in this world, the Xia family that has been passed down from ancient times must be one of them. No one knows where they come from, and no one knows how powerful they are. Legend has it that the Xia family can have insight into the heaven, earth, and universe, and can watch the great fortune of a country. The people in power in the past dynasties regarded them as national teachers and did not dare to offend them. However, only those who stand at the pinnacle of political power, or the few lucky people who are at the forefront of the path of Xu Xuan, can be lucky enough. Have a few words with them.

Abbot Kongji is one of them.

Now, Abbot Kong Ji stood in front of the current young national teacher of the Xia family, not daring to show his air.
