Chapter 1393 - 1396: The Body of Clear Insight

"Old Lu, you’re back! Thanks for the trouble!" Lin Feng shook his head, feeling a bit numb from lack of sleep, and hoarsely greeted Lu Yuming.

"Hmm, have you rested enough?" Lu Yuming glanced at Lin Feng and greeted him lightly; his expression appeared a bit heavy. Apparently, Tang Rou’s issue was not as simple for him as Lu Lu had described.

Lu Lu’s expression was somewhat complex. After gazing deeply at Lin Feng, she showed a look of being about to speak but stopping.

"I’m fine now! Old Lu, have you checked Tang Rou’s condition? How is she? Is she alright?" Lin Feng, not noticing Lu Lu’s expression, asked Lu Yuming nervously.

"This is exactly what I came to talk to you about!" Lu Yuming said seriously to Lin Feng, "Strictly speaking, the little girl’s body has no major issues... The problem is how you want to handle this!"

"The problem lies with me?" Lin Feng paused, puzzled, looking at Lu Yuming. "Old Lu, what do you mean by that?"

"Let me explain it to you in detail!" Lu Yuming sighed, speaking to Lin Feng in a soft voice. "There’s an idiom that says ’the crime of possessing a treasured item,’ which you should know. This little girl is that person marked by the crime of possessing a treasured item!"

"The crime of possessing a treasured item?" Lin Feng paused, unable to fathom why Lu Yuming would say this.

"This little girl is Tang Rou, right? Do you know Tang Rou possesses a Transparent Physique?" Lu Yuming looked at Lin Feng with a hint of reproach in his expression.

"What is a Transparent Physique? I’ve never heard of it..." Lin Feng shook his head.

"You truly haven’t heard of it..." Lu Yuming sighed. "Then it’s not entirely your fault. But I heard from Lu Lu that a few days ago you already started teaching this little girl martial arts. Did you not notice the unusual phenomena on her?"

Lin Feng, reminded by Lu Yuming, finally recalled Tang Rou’s incredible speed in mastering martial arts, and was stunned for a moment. "Old Lu, are you saying Tang Rou’s physique is different from ordinary people?"

"Of course, it’s different! Have you ever seen a normal person master martial arts and reach the second level of Inner Strength within two days?" Lu Yuming glared at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice.

"Is this the Transparent Physique? Her body’s meridian pathways are clear, without any blockage, and there’s no threshold in learning martial arts?" Lin Feng said with a bitter smile, realizing why Master Ciyun was eyeing Tang Rou. In fact, regardless of the sect, experts always want to take someone with such an excellent physique as an apprentice!

"It’s not just martial arts! Anything below the Innate level, like Buddhist Law, Taoism Skills, Spell, as long as she can comprehend it, she’ll naturally master it. That’s the meaning of Transparent Physique!" Lu Yuming sighed and said seriously.

"I now understand why that Old Hag would resort to such methods on Tang Rou..." Lin Feng stared at Lu Yuming and asked in a serious tone, "I only want to know from Old Lu, is there any way for Tang Rou to recover?!"

"This is the other thing I need to tell you..." Lu Yuming pointed at Tang Rou and said lightly to Lin Feng, "You think Tang Rou’s current state is odd, but actually, she has no major issues. She is simply comprehending the highest Buddhist classic, the twenty-eight Chapters of the wondrous Lotus Sutra. Once she fully comprehends it, she’ll naturally wake up, but..."

At this point, Lu Yuming hesitated.

"Just what? Old Lu, speak freely." Lin Feng thought he was ready to hear anything.

"It’s just, when Tang Rou wakes up, whether she’ll still remember you, I can’t guarantee!" Lu Yuming finally revealed the cruel truth.

Tang Rou might forget him when she wakes up?! Lin Feng paused, instantly feeling extremely angry inside. How could it be possible? How could Tang Rou possibly forget him?!

Seeing the truth laid out, Lu Yuming continued, "The wondrous Lotus Sutra was forcibly instilled into Tang Rou’s mind by that Demon Nun through a transition method, like a Great Illusion. Tang Rou is now immersed in that Illusory Realm, slowly comprehending the true scriptures, fully recognizing her identity as a Buddhist disciple there, comprehending Buddhist Law... From our perspective, Tang Rou might wake up in a few days, ten days, or at the most, a month. But to her, in the Illusory Realm, it might have already been ten years, twenty years, or even a hundred years... Once she wakes up, her previous memories might have long turned into past life’s affairs..."

"Is there any way to wake Tang Rou now?" Lu Lu, unable to bear seeing Lin Feng in pain, asked Lu Yuming.

"There is a way, of course. I possess a magic weapon that can forcibly interrupt the transmission process of the wondrous Lotus Sutra. However, forcibly interrupting this transmission might lead to the girl’s spirit triggering chaos... She might be unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and even question her identity!" Lu Yuming looked at Lin Feng and said lightly, "So it’s up to Lin Feng to decide what kind of choice you’ll make!"

If Tang Rou continues comprehending the wondrous Lotus Sutra, her body is unharmed, and upon awakening, she might directly become a Buddhist expert, but there’s a chance she’ll forget him. Interrupt her comprehension process, she might wake up now, or might become mentally disturbed, but one thing is certain, she won’t forget him... Faced with such a difficult choice, Lin Feng thought about it and felt a headache.

Lu Lu also sympathetically looked at Lin Feng. She didn’t know how she would choose if she were in his place.

However, Lin Feng quickly made a decision.

"In that case, let Tang Rou wake up on her own!" Lin Feng said with resolute determination. He absolutely did not want Tang Rou to suffer any harm, even if it meant Tang Rou might really forget him.

Lu Yuming looked at Lin Feng with some comfort and nodded, saying, "If that’s the case, spend time with her these days! For an ordinary person undergoing such a transition, it might take no less than two months to wake up, but she has a Transparent Physique, it’s different. I estimate she’ll wake up within a week! During this time, talk to her more by her side, maybe there’s a chance!"

Lin Feng understood Lu Yuming’s meaning... Tang Rou is now like a senseless vegetative person, but her six senses still function normally. As long as he frequently emits his voice, trying to leave a shadow in her heart, when she wakes up, she’ll have more memories about him.

"Okay, I got it! Thank you, Old Lu!" Lin Feng expressed gratitude to Lu Yuming and immediately started his monologue with Tang Rou...

Lu Yuming sighed and left the room.

Lu Lu initially stayed, watching Lin Feng begin to softly call Tang Rou’s name by her ears, telling stories of their past, and gradually, her eyes moistened...
