Chapter 120
When the people ran to the square outside the temple, they could not help but be dumbstruck .
The sophisticated and majestic vintage temple turned into ruin within the blink of an eye . There were broken walls everywhere .
Meanwhile, the monks also ran out of the temple . They were in pain as they looked at the mess .
“What exactly happened?”
“Was it an earthquake?”
Everyone was shocked . Fortunately, apart from a few of them who suffered minor injuries, nobody was killed .
“Brother, are you alright?” Zhang Daniu looked at Ye Chen while panting hard . He was still holding onto the urn .
Ye Chen calmly smiled . “I’m alright . ”
Luo Qing was among the crowd too . His face turned extremely pale as he looked at Ye Chen with a bit of fear in his eyes . “Did you cause the Buddha statue to break and the temple to collapse?”
There were no signs of an earthquake outside the temple while the inside had collapsed . It was clearly not an earthquake .
Also, nothing was going on with the temple when they entered . However, the statue crashed and the temple collapsed as soon as Ye Chen prayed .
His instinct told him that it had something to do with Ye Chen .
Ye Chen smiled in an ignorant manner .
“Luo Qing, what are you talking about? How can it be possible for him to have something to do with the crashing of the temple? It should be a coincidence . ” Wu Yan said with a shocked face . She was almost hit by a pillar when she was running out earlier .
Zhang Daniu scratched his head . “That’s right . I guess that it was an earthquake . ”
The few of them did not connect everything that had happened with Ye Chen . After all, it sounded ridiculous when they thought about it .
Luo Qing took a good look at Ye Chen and said nothing more . However, he no longer dared to linger around Ye Chen . He walked far away to avoid him .
“Daddy, how come the Buddha broke?” On the other hand, the little girl was disappointed and curious . She was not done looking at it .
“Daddy has no idea,” Ye Chen said while smiling .
At that moment, Xiao Ya walked over from the other side . However, her bodyguard who was following her earlier was nowhere to be seen .
Xiao Ya walked over and smiled apologetically . “I’m sorry, Ye Chen . I had something to handle . ”
Meanwhile, she had two bottles of sports drinks in her hand .
“Don’t worry about it . ”
Ye Chen calmly smiled and asked while raising his brows, “Where’s that bodyguard of yours?”
“He…”
Xiao Ya paused and said in a rather unnatural manner, “Something happened at home, so I asked him to go back . ”
Ye Chen said nothing else after her short response .
“Oh yeah, are you guys thirsty? I passed by a supermarket on my way, so I bought drinks for you and your daughter,” Xiao Ya shook the two bottles of sports drinks in her hand and passionately said .
The little girl who was in Ye Chen’s embrace immediately nodded before he could speak . She obediently said, “Aunty Xiao, I’m very thirsty . Thank you so much . ”
“D-Don’t worry about it, aunty likes you very much . ” Xiao Ya smiled and handed over the two bottles to Ye Chen .
Ye Chen took one bottle and calmly said, “Thanks . I’m not very thirsty, we’ll share a bottle . You can have the other one yourself . ”
“I-It’s alright, I’m not thirsty . ” Xiao Ya immediately waved .
“I happened to be thirsty, you can give it to me . ”
At that moment, nobody knew where Luo Qing came from but he took the remaining bottle from Xiao Ya’s hand . He opened the cap and drank a few sips .
Luo Qing wiped his mouth after drinking it . He looked at Xiao Ya and shamelessly smiled as he said, “Drinks from a beautiful lady are different indeed, it’s so satisfying . ”
“W-Who told you that you can drink it?” Xiao Ya angrily glared at him . She instinctively raised her pitch much higher .
Luo Qing was instantly scared . “Don’t be mad, it’s just a bottle of drink . I’ll buy you a bottle later . ”
He walked away right after saying that . He finished the bottle of drink while walking .
“Daddy, Mengmeng is thirsty . I want to drink that . ” The little girl coquettishly complained in Ye Chen’s embrace .
A strange expression flashed through Ye Chen’s face when he opened the bottle . He was going to take a sip after opening his mouth .
“Ye Chen!”
Xiao Ya suddenly screamed at that moment .
“What’s the matter?” Ye Chen looked at her in confusion .
Xiao Ya immediately waved . “N-Nothing!”
Ye Chen nodded . He picked up the bottle and lifted his head to drink it .
Bang!
Xiao Ya staggered and suddenly fell on him . She hit the bottle of drink and it directly fell down . The drinks spilled all over the ground .
“I-I’m sorry, my legs are sore so I was wobbly . ” Xiao Ya immediately retreated a few steps back . Her behavior seemed weird .
The little girl looked upset and was about to cry . “Daddy, no more drinks for me . ”
“Don’t worry, daddy will buy some drinks for you later . I’ll get you anything you want to drink . ” Ye Chen comforted her with a smile .
He lifted his eyes to look at Xiao Ya . “Is there anything that you’d like to tell me?”
“N-Nothing!”
Panic flashed through Xiao Ya’s eyes . She was shaking her head at first and then nodded . “Ye Chen, c-can you guys go home?”
“Go home?” Ye Chen frowned .
“That’s right, go home right now . Don’t go to Wumeng Grassland, don’t ever come here again . ”
Ye Chen asked, “Why?”
“Ye Chen, please stop asking . I won’t hurt you . ” Xiao Ya suddenly covered her mouth and buried her head . She was rather anxious .
Ye Chen looked at her for a while and said after shaking his head, “I’m sorry, I’m here to fulfill my daughter’s dream . I won’t go home until I go to the grassland . ”
After he was done speaking, Ye Chen carried the little girl and walked over to the supermarket at the corner of the square . He bought a lot of food and drinks for her .
“We’ve filled up the bus . Get on now, everyone . We’ll depart right away . ” The tour guide Huang Lin spoke through the megaphone .
Ye Chen got onto the bus while carrying the little girl . Xiao Ya had already taken her seat much earlier . Her pretty face had a slight change when she saw him, her fair and smooth hands were clenched tight .
She seemed to be hesitating to say something .
“Brother, the tour guide says that we’ll arrive at the grassland in 20 minutes,” Zhang Daniu approached him and said rather emotionally . He was instinctively hugging the urn in his arms even tighter .
“Yes, we’re arriving soon . ”
Ye Chen smiled lightly and looked at Luo Qing sitting before him .
Luo Qing could not stop scratching his body at that moment . He was continuously scratching his arms and occasionally scratched his back as he complained . “What’s this stupid place? My body is itching so bad . ”
Xiao Ya who was sitting next to Ye Chen lightly shivered as soon as he said that . She said, “Sir, please stop the bus . I want to get off . ”
The bus was instantly stopped .
The tour guide Huang Lin walked over and asked in confusion, “Miss, we haven’t got to Wumeng Grassland yet . Are you sure you want to get off?”
“Yes!”
Xiao Ya nodded and glanced at Ye Chen and his daughter with a complicated expression while carrying her bag . “Ye Chen, something came up . I’m leaving . ”
She got off the bus and didn’t even wait for Ye Chen to respond .
The bus moved again, Ye Chen looked at the direction where Xiao Ya got off in deep thought .
After the bus moved a kilometer away, he lifted his head and said to the driver, “Sir, please stop the bus . We’re getting off too!”
