Chapter 126: The Protectors

Master Tiger Monk had half his body bitten off by the vegetarian tiger he kept. This incident caused a considerable stir in Jade City. What was worse, it happened on the last day when the six "possessed" youngsters' were studying the Exorcism Manuscript from the monk, ushering in a train of thoughts among people.

According to the words of the acolyte who served meals every day, Shangguan Ru liked to tease the tiger and feed it everything. He once saw the little girl stuffing insects into its mouth, thus forcing it to break its vegetarian habit.

Hearing this, Shangguan Ru felt herself being wronged, flushed with fury, and almost breaking into tears in front of the others. Since then, she had poor impressions of the monks in Four Truths Temple.

She felt sorrowful for the Master's death. The monk was different. He had never sermonized or pressed on her. Even when she was teasing and playing with the tiger he did not say anything.
