Chapter 700


    Fade continued, "For martial artists to improve, they need to absorb universe energy from nature to


    strengthen their bodies."


    "However, there are all kinds of energies in the world. There are not only natural energies that can


    strengthen the body but also auras that will harm the body."


    "And that ck gas is one of them and it''s known as death energy."


    "Death energy?" Susie was horrified when she heard the name.


    Fadeforted her, "Death energy sounds terrible but in fact, it''s not that bad. After the death of


    human beings and animals, the dead body will produce death energy. However, in general, the


    energy would not be present in arge amount and will disappear soon after, so it has no effect on


    human beings."


    "However, the death energy in this hall is very strong and it is trapped in the Buddha so it can''t


    dissipate. Therefore, when peoplee here, they can clearly tell that the hall is colder than


    outside."


    "Once the body inhales too much death energy, it will cause serious harm to the body. In a bestcase


    scenario, one would feel weak and moody and have frequent nightmares. Yet, in a worstcase


    scenario, it may cause one to lose their minds and their body would turn cold before they eventually


    die."


    Upon hearing this, Susie was petrified. She quickly exhaled a few breaths, as if she wanted to


    exhale all the death energy that she had inhaled.


    Fade held her hand after noticing that and reassured her, "Don''t worry. You haven''t been in the hall


    for too long and I''ve transferred some positive energy to you. Therefore, those few breaths of death


    energy won''t have any effect on you."


    Following that, she breathed a sigh of relief. However, her face darkened again when she peered


    down at the bracelet and she asked, "Is the ck aura on the bracelet death energy too?"


    Fade nodded and replied, "Yes."


    Next, Fade stared at her and added solemnly, "Sister Song, I want to know who gave you this


    bracelet. You mentioned that it was a friend of yours? How did she get this bracelet?"


    Susie paused for a moment and answered, "This bracelet was given to me by Loren An. She''s my


    friend." "Loren!" Fade''s heart skipped a beat when he heard the name and continued, "Is it the one


    who became famous from the singing contest a few years ago?" "Yes, it''s her," Susie nodded and


    exined, "I''m in the samepany with Sister Loren and she''s my senior. She has been taking


    care of me ever since I joined thepany."


    "She gave me this bracelet a month ago because I was struggling with my new album. She gave


    me the bracelet saying that she got it from a famous monk in the north."

    Hearing this, Fade''s face turned cold and hemented, "It was undoubtedly Loren. She did not


    give you this bracelet out of kindness."


    "But Sister Loren has always been very kind to me. I don''t think she would..." Susie tried to defend


    Loren and she could not ept the truth.


    Fade shook his head and replied, "Sister Song, you may know her but you don''t know her real


    intentions."


    "Sister Loren probably wouldn''t. We''ve known each other for five or six years," Susie insisted. They


    had a close rtionship and Susie could not believe that Loren would hurt her. "Maybe she didn''t


    know that there was death energy in this bracelet. Perhaps the death energy just identally


    contaminated the bracelet?" she asked.


    Fade stared at her and replied earnestly, "Sister Song, I know that you can''t ept this but I can tell


    you that the death energy on the bracelet wasn''t an idental contamination. It won''t be so strong


    if it was an ident. Someone must have deliberately injected death energy into the bracelet."


    "This... This..." Susie''s face turned pale.


    Fade continued, "Besides, Sister Song, think about it yourself. After Loren gave you the bracelet,


    did she say that she would take you here? Also, wasn''t she the one who rmended you to


    come here?"


    Susie''s face turned as white as sheet after she heard this. There was no doubt that Fade was right.


    The previous day, she and Fade had nned to visit a lot of ces. That night, she told Loren


    about it when she was resting in the hotel. As a result, Loren told Susie that she had been to Bay


    City before and knew a good ce called Scarlet Spirit Temple. Loren had strongly rmended


    that Susie go and have a look.


    That was why Susie changed her ns and decided to visit Scarlet Spirit Temple.


    Moreover, Susie thought about it carefully and realized that Loren had told her that the bracelet was


    a treasure from an eminent monk. Loren had reminded Susie time and time again to carry it with her


    at all times to ensure her safety.


    However, Susie did not believe in Buddhism and it was inconvenient for her to carry the bracelet


    around with her when she participated in activities, thus she rarely brought the bracelet around with


    her.


    On some days where she wore them, Susie did not feel well and she would be very tired.


    These were the little details that she never noticed them before and she slowly recalled them now


    that Fade pointed out to her. Susie was shocked and she muttered, "Does Sister Loren really wants


    to hurt me? But why did she do that? If she is dissatisfied, why won''t she tell me in person?"


    Fade put his arm gently around her shoulder to pat her back a few times andforted her softly.


    At the same time, Susie''s mobile phone rang. She fished out her cell phone and noticed that it was


    a call from Loren.


    Immediately, Susie''s face turned pale and she almost threw her phone away.


    Fade pinched her hand and said, "Sister Song, take a deep breath and calm down."


    As he spoke, Fade quietly injected a few strokes of positive energy into Susie and she slowly


    rxed.


    Susie took a few deep breaths and picked up the phone. "Hello, Sister Loren," she answered.


    "Susie, have you arrived at Scarlet Spirit Temple?" Sister Loren asked about the temple immediately


    after the call went through and that made Susie''s face to sink.


    However, Susie calmed herself down and said ndly, "We''re almost there. Only a few hundred


    meters left. I can see the temple from here."


    "That''s great that you''re arriving," Loren continued, "Susie, listen to me. The temple is not in a good


    shape but it''s very spiritual, especially the Buddha statue in the hall, so you should pray."


    Susie''s face darkened again when Loren mentioned the Buddha statue and replied, "Well, I will."


    On the other end of the line, Loren added, "By the way, did you take the Buddha beads with you?


    When you enter the hallter, you must bring the beads with you. They''re from the high monk and it


    would yield a better result if you pray with it."


    Initially, Susie was unwilling to believe that Loren would have ill intentions but Susie was growing


    suspicious after listening to Loren''s unusual


    remarks.


    Susie resisted the urge to question Loren and merely said, "Yes, I will, Sister Loren. I''ve arrived at


    the gate of the temple."


    "Well, that''s great. I won''t bother you anymore. Go ahead and pray," Loren replied.


    "Well, Sister Loren, goodbye!" Susie bid farewell and hung up the phone. Her arms dropped to her


    side. She immediately turned nk as she was at a loss.
