After Wu Wendong was given spiritual initiation by the high monk from hundreds of years ago, what should he do? He could dominate the sports world, excelling in basketball, football, and more, but he only took a leisurely stroll on the field. He could laugh at the commercial world as abundant wealth poured in, but he preferred to give his money away. He could fight and conquer the world with his fists, leaving no one able to oppose him, but he never resorted to violence, preferring to rest when tired... He felt that no matter how much he did, it would ultimately lead him back to a simple life. Therefore, he chose to live his own simple life in contentment... Tao Yaling thought that her husband should obediently marry her after graduating, so there was no need to rush. Sun Qin believed that the senior she had her eye on was destined to be with her, so she did not feel rushed either. Mima believed that the powerful monk had clearly indicated that he was her lifelong partner, so she felt even less rushed. As a result, they all fell into someone's trap... PS: This book is not dramatic, no sudden changes, not too short, and doesn't have any arrogant vibes. If you like light-hearted stories, come and take a look. "Young Monk," "Traitor," and "Helmsman" are all available on Qidian and Genres World. Looking forward to everyone's support for the new book "Carefree Military Doctor" after them.
