Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Confirmed the doubts and guesses that I had in my mind before.

Monk Daoyan gripped the teacup tightly in his hand, his knuckles on his right hand turning white without him even noticing. He simply stared blankly at the tea leaves slowly sinking into the cup, frowning and asking in a puzzled voice, "Who is it?"

“Who the hell is this person?!”

Maybe he doesn't look fierce on the surface.

But the three people here are very familiar with him. They know how calm this chief monk who always likes to wear a black robe is - in the past ten years, it seems that nothing can make him emotional.

All three knew.

When he asked this question, the situation was already serious.

"Master Daoyan?" Qiu Fu suddenly swallowed nervously and called out tentatively.

But Monk Daoyan didn't seem to want to pay any attention to him.

Instead, he muttered to himself with a stern look, "There's another ring beyond the first. What's with the Industrial Division and the coal...? They're actually producing cheap cloth, secretly transporting cheap cloth, and even simultaneously completing the transportation of this 'anthracite'. Everyone thinks the end result of this is cheap cloth..."

"But that was just the beginning!"

"Not only does he make several things complement and cover each other, he can even perfectly utilize the characteristics, value, and psychology of all things... He truly gets things to those who deserve them!"

"It's impossible to guard against it...it's impossible to guard against it..."

The more Monk Daoyan pondered these things, the more shocked he became, even terrified! Not only did the other party possess unprecedented, endlessly evolving skills, but this talent, this mind, this control over everything... was truly terrifying!

How could someone... arrange things so meticulously and carefully, with every detail fitting perfectly?

Monk Daoyan asked himself: If it were me, even if I had a water-powered spinning machine, a flying shuttle loom, or even a method to remove smoke and toxins from coal... could I possibly make such thorough and detailed arrangements?

He thought for a moment and shook his head.

No.

He can’t think so much!!

——Being able to master the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism means that he is destined to be an insightful person. Obviously, he will not deceive himself. Things have come to this point. Even if he cannot accept it in his heart, he will admit it.

The biggest question left in his mind now was: "Who is it? Who... who is it...?"

He had visited the masters of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, and had traveled around the world to meet many talented people, discussing scriptures and doctrines with them, and exploring the world's knowledge. But where did such a person suddenly appear?

"With such talent and learning, how could he not be famous?"

"How could it be unknown? How could it be so unknown? How could this poor monk know nothing about it?" Monk Daoyan seemed to be in a trance, muttering to himself in a low voice.

This person gave him the feeling... as if he appeared out of thin air!

And this person who appeared out of nowhere brought his confidence, which had always been so high, down to its lowest point! For some so-called "geniuses", this kind of blow would be ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times more severe than that of an ordinary person!

"Master Daoyan..."

"Master Daoyan?"

Seeing that something was wrong with Monk Daoyan, Zhu Di, Qiu Fu, and Xu Miaoyun could only temporarily put aside their shock and speak a few words slowly.

Monk Daoyan, who seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, finally came to his senses.

In the dead of winter, beads of sweat appeared on his bald head...

Monk Daoyan's chest heaved. He took a few deep breaths and finally recovered. His eyes regained their previous clarity. He clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, I am obsessed with appearances."

Qiu Fu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Master Daoyan, don't worry. That person didn't actually mention the price just now. Maybe there will be a turnaround?" Being simple-minded also has its advantages. If you don't think too much, you will naturally be more optimistic and calm.
