"Resolve hatred? With you?"

Jiu Qiansui laughed, "Little Master Yuandian, some things can't be resolved with your silver tongue."

"Amitabha, this humble monk is somewhat self-aware."

Yuandian said, "This humble monk understands that today's matter can only be stopped with war, so I have also invited a helper."

His implication was that if you are unwilling to reason, then fine, this monk will beat you until you are willing to reason.

Jiu Qiansui curled his lip dismissively: "Little Master Yuandian, I really want to see what kind of helper you can find."

Yuandian smiled slightly and shouted downstairs, "Junior Brother Yuanchen, come up!"

Thud—

A muffled sound came from the stairs, and the entire hall trembled.

Thud, thud, thud... the dull footsteps came rhythmically.

At the same time, there was a rustling sound, like the sound of chains colliding.

Before long, a monk with chains and shackles on his hands and feet walked up the stairs and appeared before everyone.

The monk had a gaunt face, sallow and thin, with a circle of curly beard on his chin, and the monk's robe on his body had been washed until it was somewhat white.

And the most striking thing about him was the hard, heavy handcuffs and shackles.

The thumb-thick chains, made of unknown material, gleamed with a cold metallic luster at a glance, indicating a very hard material.

The monk was so thin that he was out of shape, and it was unknown whether it was because of the chains dragging him down.

"Yuanchen? Who exactly is he?"

Jiu Qiansui stared at the monk, a look of surprise and doubt in his eyes.

He thought of someone, but the image of this monk Yuanchen did not quite match the person he had in mind.

"Jiu Qiansui, he is the old acquaintance you have in mind."

Master Yuandian said with a smile.

"What?"

Jiu Qiansui was shocked, "He is that crazy monk?"

"No, no, the crazy monk back then had a fat head and big ears, not this image!"

Jiu Qiansui shook his head and denied.

"People change."

The one who answered was not Master Yuandian, but the crazy monk Yuanchen, "Jiu Qiansui, long time no see."

"It really is you!"

Jiu Qiansui could finally confirm that the emaciated monk in front of him was indeed the crazy monk from twenty-four years ago!

And after confirming this, Jiu Qiansui's face was uncertain, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that you have broken through the seal!"

"A mere seal cannot trap me."

Yuanchen said lightly, not at all like a crazy monk.

"Are you really the crazy monk from back then?"

Jiu Qiansui's pupils shrank, he had already determined that this Yuanchen was the crazy monk from back then.

But this Yuanchen's personality was too different from the crazy monk of the past!

The crazy monk back then had never spoken so calmly as he was now.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Yuanchen has been enlightened by the Dharma, abandoning all attachments, and is no longer the person he once was."

Master Yuandian explained with a kind smile on his face.

"Enlightened by the Dharma..."

Jiu Qiansui looked at Yuanchen with a strange expression, guarding against him at all times.

"Fine, since Master Yuandian, you think you can rely on your Dharma to resolve hatred, then go ahead, my Imperial City Embroidered Uniform Guard will not interfere!"

Jiu Qiansui waved his hand, but he did not leave, but instead adopted a posture of watching the excitement.

As for Zheng Tianpeng's previous insult that he was a eunuch, he naturally would no longer pursue it.

"Amitabha, well done, well done!"

Master Yuandian put his hands together and nodded slightly to Jiu Qiansui, very politely.

Having dealt with Jiu Qiansui, Master Yuandian had not forgotten today's true protagonists.

He looked at Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing: "Presumably, the two of you are Benefactor Chen and Benefactor Li?"

"I am Chen Xiao, Master, what can I do for you?"

Chen Xiao was not an unreasonable person. Since Yuandian was so polite to him, he had no need to be aggressive.

"I wouldn't dare to presume to instruct you, this humble monk only wishes to resolve the grudges between several benefactors."

Master Yuandian said lightly, "When will grievances be repaid? It is better to put down the past grudges and value harmony."

"Master, what you said is very interesting, 'When will grievances be repaid?' According to your meaning, does that mean that everyone doesn't need to avenge their grievances? Endure humiliation, and when someone kills your parents, you just laugh it off and value harmony?"

Chen Xiao retorted with a sneer.

Master Yuandian was not angry because of this and said calmly: "Benefactor Chen, you are mistaken. If someone kills my parents, I will kill them to avenge my parents. Then what about that person's children and grandchildren? Will they come to seek revenge on this humble monk? If they kill this humble monk, then shouldn't this humble monk's disciples and grandchildren still seek revenge on the descendants of that enemy? Therefore, when will grievances be repaid? It is better to put down the hatred in your heart as soon as possible..."

"No, no, no."

Chen Xiao waved his hand and said, "Master, you are wrong. As long as I cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, and kill all of the enemy's descendants, then our grudges will end there, so there is no such thing as 'when will grievances be repaid.'"

Hearing this, all the members of the Four Great Families were covered in black lines, but they were also trembling.

After all, others might just be joking when they say this, but this person really will do what he says.

Master Yuandian was also momentarily speechless, and after a long while, he retorted: "Then the benefactor will inevitably harm the innocent. What have your enemy's children and grandchildren done wrong?"

"They haven't done anything wrong."

Chen Xiao said coldly, "They can only blame themselves for being born into the wrong family."

Master Yuandian was speechless again. He found that reasoning with this overbearing young man did not seem like a wise choice.

At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly asked, "Master, let me ask you a question, why are you here today?"

"Entrusted by a friend, I came to resolve grudges."

Monks do not lie, Master Yuandian said truthfully.

"In that case, you are here to stand up for your friend, so what position do you have to persuade people to value harmony?"

Chen Xiao sneered and retorted, "Your friend committed the crime and did the evil, and you are here for him, then you are just his accomplice."

"You are an accomplice, so don't pretend to be neutral, because the blood on the murderer's hands has already splashed on you."

"You can't even figure out such a simple and obvious truth. It seems that you are not a high monk after all. It was a waste to call you 'Master' a few times just now."

Yuandian sighed, looking helpless.

However, what Chen Xiao said was reasonable in every sentence, and even if he really had a silver tongue, he could not refute it.

"Since that is the case, then this humble monk can only stop the war with war."

Old Monk Yuandian showed his true colors, looking at the crazy monk Yuanchen, "Yuanchen, take this Benefactor Chen back to the temple, let him listen to the Buddhist scriptures, and feel the true meaning of Buddhist principles..."
