The first person to witness this was Old Madam Zeng who was waiting in the main hall.

Although she had decided to devote herself to worship and become a devout believer of Cihang Temple, she had never seen the abbot display his magical powers with her own eyes. Fortunately, she met the Yan family today, so she decided to stay and broaden her horizons.

We didn't have to wait too long, just about an incense stick of time, and then we saw a group of people coming out.

Walking in front was Mrs. Yan, who was full of joy, and a young man with a handsome face and an elegant bearing.

Old Madam Zeng took a closer look at the man's clothes and realized that he was none other than the eldest young master of the Yan family who had just followed them in.

It was rumored that the eldest son of the Yan family had his face burnt by fireworks three years ago and was disfigured, with half of his face covered with horrible scars, like a ghost. But now, his face was clean, without any scars!

No, if you look closely, the skin color on both sides is still different. One of the sides has a scar that has just fallen off, and it is too white and tender with a little pink. Usually, it takes a few days of sun exposure to make the skin color on both sides consistent.

"In just such a short time? The scar on Master Yan's face was removed?" she asked in disbelief.

Madam Yan couldn't wait to announce this good news to the whole world. She nodded immediately after hearing this:

"That's right, the temple master has great skills. In just a few moments, he restored my son's face to its original state!"

Madam Zeng was deeply shocked to receive the other party's personal affirmation.

The master of Cihang Temple is simply a god descended from heaven! How can one not be impressed by such means?

I became more and more determined to offer good sacrifices to the master of the temple.

No matter how hard or difficult it is, or how much money she spends, she wants to become a devout believer recognized by the temple master!

After congratulating Madam Yan and the eldest young master of the Yan family, Madam Zeng then noticed the Qin family members with solemn expressions behind them.

Although her mortal enemy was unhappy, Old Madam Zeng was happy.

Curious asked:

"Hey, what happened to the old sister and the eldest nephew?"

The Qin family didn't want to talk.

Mrs. Yan looked apologetic, and even the bright and handsome eldest son of the Yan family had a flash of apology and shame in his eyes.

"I am the younger generation who didn't know what was good for me. I was not polite before and caused the Qin family's old lady and Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin to be punished. They are not allowed to set foot in Cihang Temple for three months."

ha?

The question words almost turned into a series of hahahaha in my mouth.

Thinking that she was already old, she should be more reserved to avoid being accused of being disrespectful. Old Madam Zeng almost held back her laughter, but she couldn't suppress the gloating on her face.

"Oh, what a pity!"

This is really retribution in this life. Just now, the old woman from the Qin family laughed at her. She came three times and was turned away by the abbot every time.

Now their family has been directly disliked by the temple master and has been punished by not being allowed to set foot in Cihang Temple for three months!

In three months, she might become a celebrity in front of the temple master, but as for the Qin family, by then the temple master might not even remember who they are!

"It's all our fault for not being respectful enough and bringing trouble to the Qin family. Yoona herself was left with a scar as a punishment." Mrs. Yan once again expressed her apologies to the Yan family.

Upon hearing this, Madam Zeng carefully examined Yan Yun's face and indeed found a dark red scar on the edge of his jaw.

This location is not eye-catching at all unless you look closely.

But when I saw this scar, I realized how obvious the difference was from normal skin.

So, such a large, deep and severe burn scar disappeared completely in just one stick of incense.

She had a deeper and deeper understanding of the master's superb skills. She felt awe in her heart, but also a growing sense of crisis.

The face of the eldest son of the Yan family is simply a living signboard that can attract customers. I am afraid that in the future many powerful people will know the ability of the master of the temple, and then merchants like her will not be able to get a number.

Thinking this in her mind, she immediately decided to bring more offerings to Cihang Temple to burn incense and worship tomorrow, and then try to get closer to Taoist Priest Huiyun, hoping that she could say a few good words for her in front of the abbot so that she could meet the abbot as soon as possible.

After making sure that the pilgrims had gone far away, a young Taoist priest who had just been serving in the reception hall could not help but let out a long sigh of relief and patted his chest and said:

"I was really scared just now! I thought such a nobleman would be unhappy and make trouble after being punished by the temple master, but I didn't expect that he didn't say a single threatening word and was so nice!"

Huiyun smiled faintly when she heard this.

Hui Jing chuckled and said:

"You are really worrying too much. After seeing the methods of the abbot, who would dare to act recklessly in Cihang Temple? Not to mention that they were rude first, even if they did nothing wrong, they would have to accept the punishment from the abbot!"

"Is that right, Senior Sister Huiyun?"

Huiyun nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kundao quickly understood the reason and a sweet smile appeared on his face.

Yes, they are no longer the same as before. Any high-ranking official, wealthy businessman or tycoon can play with and torture them as they please.

As the temple master's subordinates, no one will dare to blaspheme them at will!

Thinking of this, my gratitude and loyalty to the master of the temple reached a new level.

*

As for the Yan family members they were discussing, after returning home, Mrs. Yan immediately warned the coachman and other servants who had gone with them:

"Everyone must keep their mouths shut about the matter of Cihang Temple. If any word of it gets out, I will hold you guys accountable!"

She had thought this through clearly. On the one hand, Cihang Temple had a rule that things could not be easily spread to outsiders. They had already left a bad impression on the temple master because of their disrespect, and there must not be a second time.

On the other hand, it is also selfish.

She had personally witnessed how powerful such a master with extraordinary means was. If his reputation spread, the dignitaries in the southern capital and even the capital would squeeze through the door of Cihang Temple.

By then, the Yan family would not be able to get a number in the queue, and it would leave a bad impression on the abbot. If there was something that really needed the abbot's help, they would probably be turned away like old lady Zeng.

Therefore, at least before the Yan family changes the temple master's impression of them, she hopes that the temple master's reputation will not spread too quickly.

When Tongzhi Yan returned home after his shift, he saw with his own eyes that his son's face had returned to normal, and his eyes were red with excitement.

This son, not to mention being the eldest son, made the Yan family pour a lot of love and care into him as a new father. Just his talent in studying was worthy of the attention of the entire Yan family.

His son, whom he loved so much, suddenly suffered a burn on his face three years ago, ruining his future. His heartache was no less than that of Mrs. Yan.

Fortunately, the rain has finally stopped and the sky is clear.

"Yun'er, study hard in the future and pick up your lessons. Your father will wait for you to pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family!"

He patted his son's shoulder encouragingly.

"Yes!"

Yan Yun agreed respectfully, his heart full of pride.

Although he was delayed for three years, he was the provincial champion and had a solid foundation and great talent. There was still more than a year before the next spring examination, so he might be able to create greater glory.

If I could stand in front of the female abbot as one of the top three new masters and apologize for my rudeness and impoliteness, perhaps she would look at me with a higher regard.

She saved him from darkness, and he wanted her to know that the young man she saved was so brilliant.

*

After sending his son away, Yan Tong knew:

"The temple master is indeed extremely powerful. Madam, please tell me in detail what happened today."

Mrs. Yan recounted what happened today from beginning to end.

Yan Tongzhi pondered for a moment and said:

"We are indeed sorry for the Qin family. Please go to the Qin family and tell them that we are willing to give them the fertile farmland outside Nandu City as compensation."

There are many nobles in Nandu City, and all the good land around has been divided up long ago. The Yan family's farm was also purchased by the family before, and it was allocated to him because he came to Nandu to serve as an official.

If we talk about the market price, this farm is only 600-700 mu of land, which is worth 6,000-7,000 taels of silver. But in terms of value, it is priceless. With the status of the Qin family, there is no way they can get involved.

Yan Tongzhi's compensation was a sign of his sincerity.

After explaining this matter, he said to his wife:

"The abbot of Cihang Temple is now a hidden dragon in the abyss. You must seize the opportunity to curry favor with him and win him over!"

"Don't care about money, don't care about face, just be diligent!"

This is exactly what Mrs. Yan thought.

"Don't worry, Master. I will save it."

Mrs. Yan did what she said. She was not in a hurry to go to Qin's house to discuss compensation. Instead, she prepared another offering and went to Cihang Temple to apologize early the next morning.

She thought she had arrived early enough, but she didn't expect that she was the last one.

The Qin and Zeng families' cars had already been parked outside Cihang Temple.

The Zeng family has already gone in with offerings.

Qin Dafu personally directed the people to unload the goods, and held up a set of offerings and smiled apologetically at Kun Dao, who was guarding the gate:

"Master, I know the abbot said that we Qin family members are not allowed to enter Cihang Temple, but he did not say that our offerings are not allowed to enter. Could you please help me and call a few people to help me bring the things in?"

The ambition of these merchants is simply amazing.

With these two families competing with each other, she has to work harder to show her sincerity!

Thinking of this, Madam Yan hurried towards Cihang Temple.

Not to mention how the Qin, Zeng, and Yan families used various tricks to win favor at Cihang Temple, but speaking of the fact that the scar on Yan Yun's face had healed, even though Madam Yan had ordered them to keep their mouth shut, it was impossible for Yan Yun, a living person, not to go out.

A few days later, the news spread among the powerful people in Nandu, and even Pei Xiao, the Marquis of Jingnan, who was a military general, heard the news.
