The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism - Chapter 283

Chapter 283: 283


"That…" The woman fell into thought for some time before she answered, "Master, to be honest, I do not know either . What I can do now is to take it as it comes . "

"Patron, it seems like you have some special needs regarding a limited mobility?" asked Fangzheng out of concern .

The woman fell silent for a moment before saying, "It's alright . Master, the child is waking up . I'll talk to you again . "

It was obvious to Fangzheng that she was lying . Her reason was mostly due to her strongheadedness and insistence . She was a strong person and did not wish to be pitied or given special treatment .

After hanging up, Fangzheng returned to the monastery to read and recite his scriptures .

At evening, the child called again as expected . However, Fangzheng was left in an awkward position this time .

"Daddy, Mommy said that you are a policeman . Can you tell me stories of you catching baddies?"

Fangzheng rolled his eyes . Stories about catching criminals? He wished to tell him one but what would he tell exactly? With a stroke of brilliance, he switched on handsfree mode and returned to his home screen . He immediately searched for police stories with first-person accounts . Then, he began narrating them to the child . As expected, the child was easily hoaxed, believing in the stories .

After a while, the child's mother took the call from the child . Clearly, she did not wish for her son to take too much time from a kindhearted person .

"Thank you, Master . He was very happy today . He seems to be recovering from his illness . He will probably be discharged shortly," the woman's voice sounded a little relaxed .

Fangzheng said with a smile, "Amitabha . That's good . Patron, I still do not know how I should address you . Also, what's the child's name? I should be professional as a fake father . "

The woman was taken aback before she said with a chuckle, "Master, I never expected you to be this humorous . My name is Qin Xiao and my son's name is Dong Jun . My husband's name was Dong Bin . Master, how should I address you?"

"Amitabha . This Penniless Monk is Fangzheng . Patron, can you tell me more about Patron Dong's story?" Since Fangzheng needed to act as Dong Jun's father, he naturally needed to do his homework . What was he to do if he was seen through once more time passed?

"Heh heh, Master, there's no need to worry about being seen through . Junie only met his father once or twice a year, each time not more than a few hours . That is why despite him adoring his father, he… actually doesn't know his father . My husband's work needed to be kept a secret . He also told me very little . All I knew was that he was working on drug smuggling . I don't know anything more either . He was a man of few words and was rather clumsy with his words . Even though he met us once or twice a year, he comes and goes in a rush," said Qin Xiao .

Fangzheng could imagine the man now . He was a man who had basically abandoned his family for his country . Such a person was great and, at the very least, Fangzheng understood that he could not be compared with him .

After hanging up the phone, Fangzheng immediately gave Lu Liang a phone call .

"Eh? Master, you want to find stories regarding narcotics officers? Why?" Lu Liang was perplexed .



Fangzheng said with a bitter smile, "Will you believe it if you were told that it's for This Penniless Monk to tell his son stories?"

Lu Liang immediately laughed . How old was Fangzheng? They were all from the same area and knew everything about each other . How could it not be known? Lu Liang chuckled and said, "Venerable Fangzheng, I would have long extricated myself from the universe of bachelors if you actually had a child . Regardless, I have actually heard quite a number of real stories . I'll sort them out for you to take a look . "

"Okay . The story itself isn't that important . What's important is that it has the characteristics of a qualified and excellent narcotics officer . You have to tell This Penniless Monk those . "

"Alright, wait for me . I'll have to ask my father about it . He knows more . "

Fangzheng thanked him profusely before hanging up . He felt relaxed after not needing to fabricate stories on the spot .

With him being prepared, Fangzheng could immediately transform into a policeman from the narcotics bureau when Dong Jun called again . He babbled on with endless stories, making Dong Jun cry in excitement, cheering for his heroic father!

Days passed one by one as Dong Jun's illness turned for the better . Qin Xiao sounded increasingly relaxed when she spoke to Fangzheng on the phone .

One day, Qin Xiao said to Fangzheng in exuberance, "Master, I have a job! From this day forth, I'll be officially starting my own business!"



Fangzheng was taken aback . How could a woman with special needs who needed to take care of a child find a job and start a business? He subconsciously asked, "Amitabha . Congratulations Patron . What job did you find?"

"I opened an online store with my neighbor's help . My neighbor is willing to spare me a portion of goods to sell on the Internet . I can settle the outstanding balance after I sell them . "

"Congratulations, Patron . " Fangzheng truly felt happy for her . After having engaged with her a few times, Fangzheng realized that she was a very strong-willed woman . No matter what she encountered, she would not seek help from others if it was not necessary .

"Thank you," said Qin Xiao happily .

However, the joy did not last more than two days . Fangzheng noticed that Qin Xiao turned depressed once again . When he asked, he realized that Qin Xiao had no idea how to manage an online store . She had naively believed that people would buy her goods if she simply placed them online . When she posted them online, no one visited her page, much less complete a sale .

"Patron, everything is difficult in the beginning . It definitely takes time for a layman to switch into a new domain . By the way, what's the name of your online store?" asked Fangzheng .

"Jun Bin Shoes . "

Fangzheng could not help but smile . He had little business acumen, but the name could really not be considered a good one . It sounded like it sold inferior goods simply from its name . It would truly not be easy to sell anything on the Internet like that, even though the brand she sold was pretty good .

After hanging up, Fangzheng rubbed his nose in thought, "System, can I borrow some money?"



"No," said the System extremely miserly .

"Must you be this miserly? It's not like I say a thing when you take my incense offerings . "

"What's the use of saying that?" countered the System .

Immediately, a black cloud hung over Fangzheng's head . "System, you will be beaten to death sooner or later with the way you talk . "

"Heh heh, I welcome you to try . You can do good deeds but before doing a good deed, try using your brains first . Those brains of yours aren't an accessory . Remember, although divine powers are very powerful, there are many things that do not need divine powers to be done . Alright, go think about it . " The System fell silent after saying that .

Fangzheng rolled his eyes at the sky as a silent protest . Since he had no means to help Qin Xiao directly, he could only tackle the problem from a different angle .

At that moment, Fangzheng received a message on WeChat . Fangzheng was stunned when he saw it . It was Li Xueying who had not contacted him in a while!

"Venerable Fangzheng, it's been a while . I heard that Mt . One Finger had its road mended? How is it?" After Li Xueying sent the message, she sent another emoticon . It was of herself with an exaggerated naughty smile . She had a hat sitting slanted on her head, looking somewhat like one of the default WeChat emoticons .
