Hao Ren and Hao Mei returned to the Crescent Moon Restaurant and they found that the business had slowed down a bit. Yan approached him and said, "Young Master, the divine general families have issued a notice, if the nobles and the merchants dared to dine in our shop then they will become the enemies of the Divine General Families." The young man thought for a bit and then went to the corridor and picked up a brush and paper. Xiao Si saw this and came over to help him grind the ink. Hao Ren smiled and patted her head gently as he asked, "What does Xiao Si want?" The little girl looked up at him and then she checked the surroundings before she leaned closer to him and said, "Big Brother Ren, can you make Xiao Si a nice jade hairpin? That day one customer had a jade hair pin which looked so pretty like a flower blooming. Xiao Si knows it is expensive, she will work harder." Hao Ren chuckled and said, "You little one, you do not have to work harder, just work as much as you do daily and I will get you a the hairpin soon." The two people talked while the rest watched them from the distance. Hao Mei was curious as to what Hao Ren was going to do, and sure enough, she saw him pick up the brush and write with confident strokes. After he was done, he said, "Sister Yan, go and hang this on the entrance for everyone to see." Yan nodded and hurriedly came over, after she read the content she was surprised and then she smiled. She placed the paper at the entrance, and a few minutes later, the flow of customers increased. The paper read, 'We offer twenty percent discount to anyone who dines for the next three days. The amount we earn during the next three days will be multiplied two times and then submitted to the Imperial palace for the welfare of Military families, and the widows of our fallen soldiers.' This move appeared to be a business tactic, but in reality, this was a move that pushed the divine general families in a corner. If they dared make moves against a place that was willing to empty out its own pockets for the good of the fallen soldiers, then the image of the divine general families will drown in the depths of a cesspool. ... In the evening, Hao Ren sat down with Hao Mei and the latter asked, "They know about your strength, and you do not have any high level skills. What do you intend to do tomorrow?" Hao Ren leaned back in his chair while he gently stroked the strings of the Qin in his lap and said, "I have my cards, do not worry, if they tried to kill me for real, I will erase them from existence, regardless of them being Royal lackies or the disciples of some shit level sect." The monk replied, "To safeguard my beliefs." Hao Ren shrugged and replied, "My reason is the same. I seek strength to protect what I believe in." Vajra was surprised, but then he smiled faintly and asked, "In this secular, what could be worth saving?" Hao Ren smiled and replied, "There are many things to safe master. Like the innocence of a child, the hope residing in the heart of a homeless person, the dignity of a fallen soldier's family, the pride of a widow. All these things are worth saving. Before I become the buddha, I should become a human." His words shocked Vajra, and not only him but all the monks in the arena. This simple sentence shook their Dao Hearts. Hao Ren smiled faintly and continued, "Little Master, a mother bears so much pain that it could break all the bones in her body, just to bring us to life. If we do not pay back the debt of life to her by being filial, would we be humans? What sort of buddha will one become when they did not even understand the basics of humanity? After all, isn't Buddha someone who also used to walk the path of humanity? Only when we have paid back the debts we owe can we severe the threads of fate and ascend to become a buddha, no?" Vajra shivered, everyone watched this scene. While these people had been gaining information against Hao Ren, the latter also did the same, and he knew that Vajra had run away from home because he was discriminated against by his family for being a weak child. In the buddha temple he found a way to survive and grow stronger. He severed the bonds and trained with a single mind. However, these words were not enough to let Hao Ren win the battle, and the Little Master asked back, "Would you still say the same thing if you were discriminated against by your birth parents?" Hao Ren smiled and chuckled as he said, "Little Master, I say this because I was discriminated against by my birth parents? I have to understand that they are humans as well. Even though, I have yet to forgive them, I cannot deny the fact that they are my parents. The threads of fate do not follow the words we use to command ourselves. They follow the will of fate (Author's mind). You made your body as strong as the the Vajra, but did you forge your emotions too? The grievances in you heart are the chinks in your armor, had you managed to let it go, you might have been stronger and better equipped to safeguard your beliefs, but at the moment, you are just a weak child who ran away from home. I wonder if the elders have even let you go back to where you came from to even check on your birth parents." His words stunned the people, because from the outside they could see that every word from Hao Ren's mouth was akin to a punch that left more and more cracks in the heart of the young monk. Sure enough, after a few minutes, Little Master Vajra puked a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. Hao Ren looked at the chief inspector, who checked Vajra, and found that the monk's foundation has been damaged before announcing Hao Ren to be the winner.
