Chapter 162.2

Several days passed, and Song Yufei brought some news.

Those people have disappeared too! Since they couldnt be found for so long, and it has put everyone in danger, the Buddhist sect is getting anxious! Theyve made a promise to the outside: whoever can find their whereabouts, the Buddhist sect will owe them a favor!

Lin Beifans spirits lifted: really?

Of course its true!

Song Yufei explained: After all, too many people have disappeared now! Apart from Master Sanchi, the others are all significant figures, and the Buddhist Sect is under great pressure!

Lin Beifan nodded.

However, their favors come with conditions; they cannot go against the morals and ethics of the rivers and lakes, nor can they violate the moral etiquette!

Lin Beifan nodded again.

Despite the various restrictions, this favor was still very valuable!

At critical moments, it can be extremely useful!

Moreover, wouldnt they also owe him a favor if those people were rescued?

These individuals are renowned heroes on the rivers and lakes!

They place great importance on repaying kindness and consider face more important than life itself.

They cant mix in the rivers and lakes if they owe a favor and dont repay it.

After much thought, Lin Beifan felt that this deal was worth it!

So, a day later, Lin Beifan excitedly went to find Song Yufei: Miss Yufei, after day and night patrols and searches, I have found their whereabouts! They are all safe and sound now!

Song Yufei exclaimed in surprise, Your Majesty, is this true?

Of course, why would I deceive you?

Your Majesty, where are they now?

I will take you there right away!

Two days later, they arrived at the pit.

Pointing down at the pitch-black pit, Lin Beifan smiled and said, Miss Yufei, they are all down there in the pit! This pit is rather weird; it seems as though some mysterious power has trapped them, preventing them from coming up!

Really? Song Yufei was about to step forward and take a look.

But she was pulled into Lin Beifans embrace: Miss Yufei, be careful!

Song Yufei was confused: Your Majesty, whats wrong?

Lin Beifan spoke with a hint of reproach: Didnt I remind you just now? This pit possesses a mysterious force, one can descend but not ascend! The stronger ones power, the greater the influence theyll experience! Therefore, I was afraid you would fall into it!

Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Can you let go of me now?

Cough cough, I acted hastily just now, please dont take it to heart, Miss Yufei! Lin Beifan said, releasing his hold with a face full of apology. π’π’π’—π™šπ’π™šπ™–π’”π’•.π™˜π’π™’

Song Yufeis face turned a deep shade of red; this was the first time she had been so close to a man!

She could hardly resist drawing her sword if it werent for his good intentions.

However, she still glared at Lin Beifan.

Rascal!

Then, Song Yufei stood three meters away from the cave entrance, communicating with the people below in the pit.

She found that all of them were there, not a single one missing.

Although some were injured, they were only superficial wounds, nothing serious.

While she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she also began to feel troubled.

The most urgent matter now is how to rescue them from this predicament. Since this pit possesses a mysterious power that prevents others from climbing out, ordinary methods are useless!

Lin Beifan flashed a slight smile and confidently said, Miss Yufei, rest assured, I have already thought of a solution!

Your Majesty, what good method do you have? Song Yufei asked curiously.

The method is very simple! Lin Beifan waved his hand, and the soldiers began pushing cart after cart of soil over.

Although this pit has a mysterious power that prevents others from climbing out, if we simply fill the pit, no matter how vast and mysterious that power is, it will no longer be effective. Dont you agree?

Song Yufeis eyes lit up: Your Majesty is wise!

Lin Beifan waved his hand again, instructing the soldiers to dump the soil into the pit.

The people below the pit dodged the soil falling from above while stomping the soil down, gradually making their way up.

After about half a day, the pit was almost filled in, and the people below had all rushed up.

Haha! I have finally escaped from the pit trap!

I almost thought Id never get out in my lifetime!

Truly, heaven has blessed me!

After everyones excitement had subsided, they turned to Lin Beifan and said in unison, Thank you, Your Majesty, for lending a hand!

Lin Beifan waved his hand dismissively, Theres no need for formalities!

No matter what, the fact that I was able to escape my predicament is thanks to your help, Your Majesty! I owe you a favor. Just give me a shout whenever you need something! As long as it doesnt go against the moral code of the rivers and lakes, Ill help with anything! declared the Heavenly Dog Divine Detective heartily.

Im in the same boat! I specialize in tracking down criminals. If you ever need assistance, just let me know, and Ill help you out for free! Guo Jianglong also offered with great enthusiasm.

And me, I owe you a favor as well!

Lin Beifan smiled radiantly.

I just love naive fools like you who get sold out and still count the money for others!

Lin Beifan exclaimed loudly, All you heroes and brave men, I have ordered people to prepare hot water and a banquet to welcome and cleanse you!

Everyones eyes lit up, Hot water and a banquet?

For those who had just escaped their predicaments, nothing was needed more than hot water and a banquet.

Hot water to wash away the dust on their bodies, as well as the bad luck.

A banquet to allow them to feast to their hearts content.

No one could resist this temptation.

Then, thank you very much, Your Majesty!

My heroes, you are too kind. Please, follow me!

An hour later, everyone took a comfortable hot bath, and feeling refreshed, they arrived at the banquet specially prepared by Lin Beifan, where they enjoyed delicious food and fine wine.

During the banquet, everyone was toasting and drinking merrily.

Lin Beifan took this opportunity to win over the experts.

Among them, the Heavenly Dog Divine Detective was so impressed by Lin Beifans magnanimity that he agreed to join Great Xia and serve under Lin Beifan.

Thus, Lin Beifans Innate master count finally reached 20.

Lin Beifan was extremely pleased; this deal was so worth it!

Not only did it make various experts owe him a favor, but it also added another Innate master, further strengthening the power of their Great Xia.

The next day, everyone said their goodbyes and went about their own business.

However, Master Sanchi stayed behind to visit Lin Beifan.

Amitabha, thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life. This poor monk is deeply grateful and will surely repay this debt in the future!

Lin Beifan shook his head slightly, No need for thanks. You went missing in Great Xia, and I bear some responsibility for that! Moreover, your Buddhist sect would pay the price of a favor, so between us, we are even.

Each matter should be addressed separately,

The venerable Sanchi said with his hands pressed together in prayer, The Buddhist sect owes a debt of gratitude, while this poor monk owes a debt of life. The two are not the same!

Very well, since you insist, it is a good thing for me, and naturally, I will not refuse.

Lin Beifan said with a smile. Master, do you have any other matters to discuss here?

Your Majesty, this poor monk has come here with another important matter to discuss!

What is it? Lin Beifan asked.

Amitabha!

The old monk said with a sorrowful expression, As this poor monk has traveled, I have found that all beings suffer. Therefore, I wish to spread the teachings of Buddhism here to deliver all beings from suffering! I ask for Your Majestys gracious permission and support.
