Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

As for reporting to the senior brother.

That's useless.

The unscrupulous Taoist priest was very close to Shi Jian and belonged to his faction.

This unscrupulous Taoist priest is named Qian Kai, and he calls himself Master Qian.

In fact, he was known as the Unscrupulous Taoist Master in their Taoist community.

Because they lack principles in their actions, they often do unethical things.

So even if he caught the unscrupulous Taoist priest in a compromising situation and reported it to Shi Jian, it would be useless. He could just take the initiative and seize the evidence, so that Shi Jian wouldn't dare to say anything and wouldn't be able to say anything.

If you dare to speak recklessly, that would be considered covering up a crime.

As the senior disciple, if he were to openly cover up wrongdoing, he would lose all authority.

........................

"Ok."

The four people from the four directions had no choice but to follow their master.

However, they wore talismans that allowed them to travel faster.

"Master, isn't it unnecessary to go there in the middle of the night?"

Ah Bei followed behind and said.

It's already late at night, and it's past midnight. Isn't that giving his unscrupulous senior brother too much face?

"There's really no need for that. We're just looking for an inn to rest in. It's so late at night, if we don't hurry, we'll be sleeping on the streets!"

"Oh, I see!"

Only then did they understand why their master had put up the talisman for speed.

So they went to find an inn in advance.

Because they used talismans to travel at great speed, they arrived at their destination very quickly.

However, instead of going directly to Qian Kai's temple, they found an inn to rest and planned to go there the next day.

After paying the fee and spending the night there, they ate something at the inn early the next morning and headed to the Qiankai Temple.

However, just before setting off, Chizuru remembered something and said, "Oh right, here's the money for you!"

As she spoke, Qianhe took out eight silver dollars from her system inventory and gave two dollars to each of the four cardinal directions.

They received a considerable reward from the fishing village. Although he was an apprentice, Chizuru still had to give him some money, since he was too obedient.

"Thank you Master!"

The four of them happily accepted it and then put it in their pockets.

It was already noon when we arrived at Qian Kai's temple.

.....................

Seeing the door of Qian Kai's mud-brick house, which looked like a ruin, Qian He gently knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Qian Kai's deep, booming voice suddenly rang out!

The five disciples stood at the door and pushed it open to enter Qian Kai's Taoist temple. However, compared with the first temple of Maoshan before Qian He, this temple was worlds apart, just like the dilapidated temple of Master Wu.

Qian Kai's temple was nothing more than an old mud-brick house, and one had to bow one's head like an ostrich when entering.

"Junior Brother Qianhe, you've arrived!"

When the unscrupulous Taoist saw Qianhe enter, a smile as bright as spring flowers immediately appeared on his face.

His junior brother was incredibly wealthy; he used to borrow money from him all the time, and never paid it back.

It must be said that his junior brother is a truly honest, kind-hearted, and honest person.

"Hehe, senior brother, what brings you here this time?" Qianhe replied with a half-smile on his lips.

Seeing him, he was indeed exactly like Qian Kai in the movie.

He truly lives up to his name; he's greedy for money.

Its round head resembled a ripe watermelon, its large ears were like two palm-leaf fans, and a Bagua diagram was drawn between its eyebrows, making it look exactly like a living God of Wealth.

Qian Kai's apprentice also politely addressed the four people from the east, west, south, and north as "junior brothers."

Qian Kai's apprentice also addressed Qian He as his Martial Uncle.

After all, respecting elders is the most basic courtesy.

However, the unscrupulous Taoist's disciple was also very obedient, belonging to the dull and rigid type.

He did whatever his master said.

They also addressed Qianhe respectfully as "Shishu" (a term of respect for senior martial arts students), to which Qianhe responded with a smile and a nod.

"Haha, look at this!" the unscrupulous Taoist said, pointing to the two gleaming gold ingots on the table as if they were two dazzling pearls.

Each of these two gold ingots weighs approximately 100 grams.

Gold ingots from the Qing Dynasty typically weigh 108.3 grams and are shaped like an oval horseshoe with a narrow waist. The surface of the ingot is also decorated with the character "寿" (longevity) in seal script, which is natural and smooth, symbolizing good fortune and auspiciousness.

Its color is pure and its weight is substantial; holding it in your hand, you can almost feel the weight of time.

.......................

"Uncle-Master, are you going to pay back the money?" A-Dong asked without any hesitation.

They didn't feel much about the two gold ingots.

After all, they had already seen mountains of gold and silver treasures, so why would they care about these two mere gold ingots?

"Hey, Uncle-Master wants to make a deal with your master. There are still some gold ingots left over after returning them to your master, but the rest won't be exchanged for money. I'd like to ask Junior Brother for a favor!" Qian Kai's face was full of smiles, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

He was plotting to drag Qianhe into the murder.

Anyway, since Chizuru has the background of the official court, he can easily shift the blame onto Chizuru if something goes wrong.

Unfortunately, Qian Kai was unaware that Qian He was no longer serving the imperial court.
