Chapter 184 I'm So Weak
However, in the next moment, Elder Su's words made his heart sink to the bottom. Elder Su took the gambling agreement from Li Yuanming's hand and walked up to Xuan Ling, saying, "Cen Zhiyuan is a member of your Baiyun Temple. The promises he makes naturally hold weight."
Xuan Ling was stunned, looking at Elder Su in shock, and blurted out, "Elder Su? Why are you protecting Sanqing Temple too?"
Elder Su shook his head. "I'm not protecting Sanqing Temple; I'm protecting Baiyun Temple."
He had already seen their behavior before, and it greatly disappointed him. If they didn't rectify themselves soon, the foundation of Baiyun Temple would be completely destroyed.
However, Xuan Ling didn't believe his words and only felt that he was indeed protecting Sanqing Temple. He shouldn't have invited him here in the first place.
Seeing through his thoughts, Xuan Ling turned around and said to the people at the door who were spectating, "Could everyone please leave first? We have some internal matters to discuss."
Upon hearing this, the onlookers exchanged curious glances but ultimately acted reasonably and didn't linger, leaving with a quick step.
Then, Elder Su looked at Qin Lie and the others and said, "The scenery on the mountain is nice. CEO Qin, you and your family can take a stroll as well."
Upon hearing this, Qin Lie glanced at Zhouzhou, nodded, handed her the snacks in his hand, and casually pinched her chubby cheek. Zhouzhou tilted her head, smiled at him, and waved her chubby hand, saying, "See you later, Dad."
"Yeah."
Without him saying anything, Ye Lingfeng also left. Before leaving, he glanced at Wen Jing, gesturing for her to take care of Zhouzhou.
Soon, only the people from Sanqing Temple and Baiyun Temple remained in the room.
Elder Su walked up to Zhouzhou and spoke gently, "Little girl, can you please bring Master Li out?"@@@@
The Ancestral Master of Sanqing Temple had the surname Li.
Zhouzhou blinked, tilted her head, and looked at him. How did he know that the Ancestral Master was with her? Did he also know what they said during their competition earlier?
Thinking of this, Zhouzhou widened her eyes a bit, feeling a little embarrassed. After acting for so many years, it was the first time she messed up like this.
Seeing her vivid expression, Elder Su couldn't help but smile lightly. In his somewhat cloudy eyes, there was kindness.
A disciple chosen by the Ancestral Master of Sanqing Temple couldn't possibly be a malicious person.
Although the little girl had some small schemes, it didn't matter much.
Seeing that he was easy to talk to, Zhouzhou thought for a moment and took out the statue from her bag.
The Ancestral Master also floated out and sat cross-legged in the air, looking at him meaningfully. "Not bad, you were actually able to sense my presence."
Elder Su respectfully bowed to him. Although he wasn't a member of Sanqing Temple, the Ancestral Master was still his senior.
As he spoke, he slightly lowered his head.
They had been fighting each other for so many years, and this was the first time he had done something like this. The Ancestral Master had a smug expression on his face.
Originally, he hadn't planned to annihilate them completely. He went along with it and said, "Alright, but Old Chen, don't pretend to be naive. We are both Ancestral Masters of our respective temples, and we are well aware that there are countless branches. If the Baiyun Temple here disappears, there are still other Baiyun Temples elsewhere.
Losing this branch makes it impossible for Baiyun Temple to disappear completely. There's no need for you to play the victim here with me."
However, this was the original and core Baiyun Temple. Once it was gone, the vitality of Baiyun Temple would be greatly damaged.
The Ancestral Master continued, "You know what your disciples have done. They bullied a little girl from my family, Zhouzhou. She is defenseless and her little arms and legs can easily be broken. How can she withstand their bullying?"
That's right, that's right! Zhouzhou vigorously nodded her small head, and the towering hair bun on top of her head bobbed along, as if echoing her thoughts.
She innocently waved her little chubby arms and short legs and said softly, "I'm only four and a half years old, just a little kid, I'm weak."
What a joke.
If she was considered weak, then there wouldn't be anyone strong in this world.
Ancestral Master Chen had a headache. "Just say it directly."
He saw through their performance inherited from the Sanqing Temple. They were unmatched in their acting skills.
"It's simple. This Baiyun Temple must change its name and belong to the Sanqing Temple from now on. As for your disciples, we don't want them, we only want this place."
As he spoke, he looked at Xuan Ling with disdain.
Upon hearing this, Ancestral Master Chen fell silent for a moment, but in the end, he nodded. "Fine."
This was already the least damaging scenario.
Xuan Ling felt shocked deep within upon witnessing his agreement. Although there were many Baiyun Temples, there was only one Baiyun Temple on Mount Tian'an. Without it, how could he become the temple's master?
Fortunately, he himself didn't have to join the Sanqing Temple. With this arrangement, he could take away his cherished possessions.
Seemingly understanding his thoughts, Zhouzhou grinned and suddenly spoke, "Oh, I forgot that Big Fool and Little Fool are still injured."
"When we were collecting the big steamed buns, they deliberately caused trouble, almost preventing us from capturing the big bun. Fortunately, we managed to subdue it in the end, but Big Fool and Second Fool were affected by the sinister energy and are still unconscious."
She blinked her eyes and looked at Xuan Ling generously, saying, "I, a humble person, won't hold a grudge against them. I forgive them, and I can even treat their injuries. However, the medicine requires the root of an eight-hundred-year-old ginseng, which is a bit expensive. Senior Martial Uncle Xuan Ling, you have a good relationship with Big Fool, right?
Even if you have to sell everything you own, I'm sure you'd be willing to save him, right?"
