I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 94: Praising to death is also killing
Seeing the attitude of the doorman at Chen Bao's mansion, Zhao Zhijing thought that the last time Guan Changhong escorted the convoy here, he must have entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, which is why Chen Bao attached so much importance to him.

"Master Zhao from the Quanzhen Sect has come to visit in person. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me!"

An old man in black tights hurried out, wiping his head and face with a towel in his hand. Although his hair and beard were already gray, his face was rosy, his voice was loud, and his spirit was no less than that of a middle-aged man.

Seeing how friendly yet generous he was, Zhao Zhijing thought it was no wonder that he was Guan Changhong's good friend, as he was an expert at speaking polite words.

"No, no, I am sorry for coming to visit you. I hope Senior Chen will forgive me."

Just as Zhao Zhijing guessed, the last time Guan Changhong escorted the convoy to the Tongguan area, he specially went to find his old brother Chen Bao and told him in detail that the first disciple of the third generation of Quanzhen Sect might go to Huashan to preach.

The two had been close friends for decades, and they could talk about anything. Chen Bao listened, pondered for a while, and then asked directly: "Could it be that the Quanzhen Sect also wants to get a share of the pie in Tongguan?"

Guan Changhong waved his hand and said, "Although the Quanzhen Sect is powerful, it has always abided by the rules of the martial arts world. Otherwise, it would not be recognized as the world's number one sect."

"Besides, my child Guan Man'er is a disciple of Taoist Zhao Zhijing. I have also mentioned our friendship before. From what I have seen before, Taoist Zhao is not a person who values fame and fortune."

Chen Bao thought about it and suddenly laughed, "As I get older, my heart becomes smaller. If the Quanzhen Sect had the intention of annexing the sect, why would they have waited until today?"

Guan Changhong also smiled and said, "The founder of Quanzhen Sect, Master Chongyang, is a god-like figure. The seven disciples of Quanzhen Sect, starting from Master Ma Yu, are all senior masters who have achieved success in cultivation."

"From what Taoist Priest Zhao said, the candidate for the next headmaster is Taoist Priest Li Zhichang, a disciple of Changchun Zhenren. He is said to be kind and virtuous, and is truly a blessing to the martial arts world."

At the peak of the Quanzhen Sect, it was said to have 3,000 Taoist temples and 80,000 followers. Such a behemoth could bring disaster to the people and sects in the martial arts world with just a single move.

As for the Beggars' Sect, it was divided into two factions, the dirty clothes faction and the clean clothes faction, and the gang members were even more mixed. It was only after the two leaders Hong Qigong and Huang Rong reorganized the gang over the years that they gradually gained people's support.

The Shaolin sect, which was once the leader of the righteous underworld, has been attacked several times by the evil people of the Gongping Sect in recent years. It has suffered great damage from several fatal battles and is no longer as strong as before.

It is naturally a blessing for other sects in the martial arts world that the three major sects that hold most of the say are willing to be kind to others.

Chen Bao sorted out the reasoning and felt relieved. Hearing Guan Changhong praising Zhao Zhijing, he asked, "You said that Taoist Zhao is the number one disciple of the third generation of Quanzhen Sect, so why did he let someone else inherit the position of the next headmaster?"

Guan Changhong was stunned by the question. The last time he heard Zhao Zhijing say it, he himself couldn't figure out why. It was obvious that when they came to Xianyang City last time, Li Zhichang, as a junior brother, had to listen to the orders of his senior brother Zhao Zhijing.

"I guess Daoist Master Zhao is very modest and doesn't want to be burdened by external things, so he resigned from the position of the third generation's first disciple, right?"

Chen Bao laughed loudly, as if he had heard something extremely funny. He stopped laughing after a while and said, "Brother Guan, you know more about what it means to be the head of Quanzhen Sect than I do, right?"

Guan Changhong was speechless when asked. Seeing his expression, Chen Bao didn't want to embarrass his old friend, so he changed the subject and asked about something else.

"I wonder how good is this Taoist priest Zhao's martial arts?"

Guan Changhong knew that Chen Baohao was obsessed with martial arts. Even at this age, he would practice weapons and punches with the martial arts master in the mansion every day, so he asked, "Brother, what do you think of my daughter Shengnan's martial arts?"

This time, Guan Changhong also brought Guan Shengnan with him, who was also at Chen Bao's house at the time.

What’s strange is that the eldest lady of Changhong Escort Agency, who is also the next chief escort, seems to have become a different person at this time.

Guan Shengnan used to love to exchange ideas with others, but now for some reason she has changed her mind. Even when Chen Bao brought up the topic, she just smiled and shook her head.

"Of course, a tiger father will have a dog daughter. I was also wondering, every time my niece came here in the past, she would have a good fight with the martial arts masters and guests in my house, why didn't she show any interest this time?" "Could it be that she has made great progress and no longer looks down on these unconventional people in my house?"

Guan Changhong shook his head. Although the martial arts masters recruited by Chen Bao's mansion with gold and silver were not real masters, Guan Shengnan had to put in some effort to win in the past.

"No, it's just that I've seen that there are always people who are better than you and there are always things that are better than you."

"The last time Taoist Zhao came to Changhong Escort Agency, Shengnan also kept asking for advice, but in the end, he didn't even learn a single move."

"really?"

Seeing his old brother Chen Bao's surprised look, Guan Changhong smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you think my unruly daughter would suddenly become calm?"

After saying this, Guan Changhong was afraid that Zhao Zhijing would really come to visit him one day. Given Chen Bao's character, he would even test his martial arts, which would only make him a laughing stock and lose face.

"My dear brother, listen to my advice. When Taoist Zhao comes in person one day, treat him well and don't think of using force."

Guan Changhong knew that given Chen Bao's age and status, it would be inconvenient for him to personally fight with Zhao Zhijing, so he would most likely let those arrogant and domineering martial arts masters in the mansion who thought they were big names in the martial arts world to compete.

If this is true, there are only four words to say.

Bringing humiliation to oneself.

Seeing that Guan Changhong's instructions were so serious, Chen Bao came to a conclusion in his mind. He had seen Guan Shengnan's martial arts skills. If she couldn't even withstand one move from Zhao Zhijing, then even if everyone in his mansion attacked her together, it would be a waste of time.

Therefore, when he heard the doorman announce that a Taoist priest from the Quanzhen Sect was coming to visit with a visiting card from Guan Changhong, he immediately stopped fighting and went to greet him in person.

"Not long ago, my elder brother came to Tongguan and told me about Taoist Master Zhao's demeanor. I have been looking forward to the day when I can meet Taoist Master in person. Now my wish has come true. I am so happy!"

Zhao Zhijing declined humbly, wondering how long Guan Changhong must have laid the groundwork for Chen Bao to be so humble at his age.

"Senior, your words really humiliate me. I am ashamed to receive such great kindness from Chief Escort Guan."

Chen Bao had already wiped the sweat off his face and threw the towel to the housekeeper beside him. He stepped forward and personally led the way for Zhao Zhijing to the main hall.

Zhao Zhijing and his disciple Cao Qinghua bowed humbly and followed. After they had walked a few steps, several strong men dressed as martial artists came over from the side.

"Owner, since there are masters here, why don't you introduce some to us?"

When Zhao Zhijing arrived, Chen Baozheng was practicing boxing and kicking with the martial arts master in the mansion. When he heard that it was the person Guan Changhong had repeatedly warned about, he immediately left everyone else and rushed over without even having time to wipe the sweat off his face.

The martial artists present saw that the host was so eager to welcome an extremely important person, so after a few discussions, they decided to go out and take a look together.

Some of them recognized the Quanzhen Taoist robes and knew that it was the master that the owner had been talking about recently. According to the rules of the martial arts world, they wanted to get to know him.
