Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 579 They’re Scamming Us!

The believers and tourists who had been blocked by Cloud looked terrified. Some began praying, while others exclaimed in shock.

It was a good thing they did not go in. Or else, they might be crushed!

The monks stood there dumbfounded and astonished.

The abbot was in a state of shock, his mind racing.

It can’t be… the Grand Hall and Buddha statues were newly constructed this year! They had undergone extensive repairs, and the reinforced tables and chairs were brand new. The Grand Hall had been maintained. It simply couldn’t collapse!

The young monk shouted, “It was you! You destroyed the Grand Hall and the Buddha statue!”

He looked at Lilly, feeling suspicious. Why did the palace collapse the moment she stepped out?

The tourists fell into silence.

“Can a child really destroy such a massive Buddha statue and the Grand Hall? Isn’t this a hasty accusation?”

“Yeah, this child is only four or five years old, small and delicate. They probably couldn’t even lift a chair, let alone destroy the entire Grand Hall.”

“The Great Hall has completely collapsed! It’s not like a mere incense stick was knocked over or an oil lamp was broken. It seems far–fetched to claim a child did this…”

“When I first entered, I was in awe, but now I can’t help but feel that this place… isn’t as noble as I thought!”

“You’re right. A monk who constantly prays, blaming a three–year–old child for something gone wrong and claiming to save all sentient beings with compassion?”

The young monk blushed in embarrassment.

The abbot sternly reprimanded, “Todd! Go back and reflect on your actions!”

The young monk reluctantly clasped his hands together, continuing to recite his prayers as he left.

The abbot apologized, saying, “I apologize for Todd’s actions. He is a newly ordained monk and hasn’t cultivated enough. He has committed a transgression of speech and violated taboos. It is wrong!”

Cloud smiled and asked, “It’s a good thing that the tourists didn’t enter the hall. I was right to stop them. What do you think about this?”

The monks who had lectured Cloud blushed and were left speechless.

The abbot felt a great deal of frustration and could not understand why the statue had collapsed. It was unimaginable for a well–crafted Buddha statue and Grand Hall to simply collapse without reason. There had to be some underlying cause.
