Two months later, I met Lu Yue and her younger brother on the road again. This time, her younger brother didn't keep his distance from me. I treated them to ice cream.

"What happened to the Buddhist temple later?" I looked at Lu Yue.

"It has been sealed by my grandfather. The Three-eyed Buddha will wither if it doesn't receive offerings for a long time," Lu Yue replied.

"And what about the little monk?"

"My grandfather has joined forces with Taoist sorcerers to search for him. He won't dare to cause trouble for a long time," she answered.

"That's good."

"By the way, what about Wang Pu?" Lu Yue asked again.

"He went insane. I arranged for him to be admitted to a private mental hospital, where he will spend the rest of his life in agony, atoning for his sins."

Feeling the warm summer sunlight, I thought to myself, my new life has begun.
