Chapter 967: Chapter 967: Explanation
Being listed at Jiaoyang Temple is naturally a good thing.
However, he realized that Jiangli was not easy to deal with. Previously at Jiang Yongnian’s house, the two had an unpleasant disagreement.
Now that Jiangli is asking him to be listed at Jiaoyang Temple, who’s to say he won’t make things difficult for him once he enters the Taoist Temple?
Master Wu is not Jiangli’s match. Even if he is bullied, he wouldn’t dare make a sound.
Wouldn’t he be digging his own grave then?
The more Master Wu thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.
After all, being a listed disciple is just like being a secular disciple, equally subject to regulations everywhere.
"Your natural talent isn’t that great." Jiangli heard Master Wu’s polite refusal and glanced him up and down, "In the past, with your talent, you wouldn’t have made it into Jiaoyang Temple. But now that Xuanmen is in decline, your cultivation base is relatively outstanding. As long as you’re willing to join Jiaoyang Temple, I certainly won’t treat you badly."
Master Wu: "..."
He was just being polite...
No need to insult him like that.
Master Wu squeezed out a smile, "But I’m afraid..."
Jiangli clicked his tongue and said, "You’re afraid I’ll bully you, right?"
Master Wu was stunned for a second and then laughed.
Jiangli said, "Don’t worry, I don’t have time to hold grudges. If I really bore grudges, I certainly wouldn’t invite you to be listed at Jiaoyang Temple. Otherwise, if word gets out that I’m bullying my disciples, how would Jiaoyang Temple attract students in the future?"
Master Wu looked at Jiangli’s expression and seemed serious.
That makes sense.
If rumors spread that disciples are being bullied, the reputation of the entire sect would be ruined, and it would be difficult to recruit students.
Jiangli probably wouldn’t think of using this method to bully him.
Considering Jiangli’s cultivation base, if he really wanted revenge, he would have many ways, and he wouldn’t use Jiaoyang Temple’s reputation as an excuse.
With this thought, Master Wu immediately changed to a big smile, cheekily cupped his hands and said, "Then I won’t stand on ceremony, thank you, Abbot, for your favor. From today onwards, I’ll be listed at Jiaoyang Temple!"
Jiangli was not surprised by this, and glanced at Xia Xin, who was still dazed, saying, "After we return, arrange a meditation room for him, let him live in the temple. From now on, let him and Fu’er teach you some basic things, learn well."
Xia Xin recovered his senses, nodded earnestly, "Ancestor, I understand."
Jiangli acknowledged and continued walking forward.
Xia Xin couldn’t help but glance at Master Wu.
Master Wu was delighted thinking about the potential benefits of being listed at Jiaoyang Temple.
He caught Xia Xin’s gaze and cheerfully cupped his fists to Xia Xin, saying, "You joined earlier, so you’re my senior brother. Please look after me, senior brother."
Xia Xin was stunned, "..."
Just like that, he’s become a senior brother?
Xia Xin immediately straightened his back, feeling an indescribable sensation, coughed lightly, and said, "No problem, no problem. Let’s go back first. When we return, I’ll arrange a meditation room for you."
Master Wu snickered and followed Xia Xin and Jiangli chattering along.
They caught a car by the roadside and headed back home.
Meanwhile, Weng Jingyun quickly used the Suppression Talisman to take the jade lady back into the painting, then took Xia Fangruo and Zhou Ming Zhao Xiuyu back to the police station.
Under Weng Jingyun’s interrogation, Xia Fangruo quickly confessed.
At this point, she had no choice but to confess.
She admitted that she bought the painting with the intention of killing Zhao Xiuyu.
After all, Zhao Xiuyu was her primary obstacle. As long as Zhao Xiuyu died, even if Zhou Shutong were present, he couldn’t stop Zhou Ming from remarrying.
Of course, if both Zhou Shutong and Zhao Xiuyu died, it would be even better and less troublesome. The Zhou family’s entire assets would eventually belong to her and her daughter.
She wouldn’t have to consider the matter of snatching assets from Zhou Shutong in the future either.
