Although Lu Haotian has remained indifferent to Jia Zhengjing's actions since her appearance, the others at Xuanqing Temple are not having it.

"Stop spouting nonsense! You're so old, how can you be so disrespectful? Our master has always given you face, so we advise you not to push your luck!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Haotian snapped, "Shut up! Go and reflect on your actions in the corner!"

The young apprentice, who looked to be about the same age as Su Shiming, had just been at loggerheads, but left the reception room in a huff after Lu Haotian's angry shout.

"Senior brother, you've wronged me. Although you may think our Xuanqing Temple is somewhat profit-driven, we still know the rules."

Jia Zhengjing deliberately wanted to catch him off guard, but his cunning junior brother was still very good at hiding it.

"Is that so? Lu Haotian, I think you should be familiar with the association's rules. I hope it's true, as you say, that these matters have nothing to do with your Xuanqing Temple."

Lu Haotian personally poured some tea for Jia Zhengjing and said with a smile, "I require everyone in the department to memorize the rules, so you can rest assured about that."

"Is that so? My disciple has almost lost his life at the hands of your Xuanqing Temple's eldest disciple, Zhenyangzi, several times."

When Ling Yue heard that Jia Zhengjing seemed to be talking about her, she was immediately shocked. She had already secretly looked around the living room as soon as she entered, but she did not see Zhen Yangzi.

Why didn't Master give a heads-up before coming to cause trouble for Zhenyangzi?

"I think there must be some misunderstanding here! Our two Taoist temples have always been very close and loving, how could such a thing happen?"

"Don't worry, I'll go and find out the truth in a bit, and this will definitely never happen again."

Jia Zhengjing heard what she wanted to hear and quickly got up.

"Farewell."

Watching Jia Zhengjing and his apprentice walk away, Lu Haotian's face darkened.

"Didn't that old man find anything?"

A man in black, who had been invisible, appeared beside Lu Haotian. "No."

"That's good. Be more careful about your methods in the future. If it happens again, we won't let you off easily."

"Okay, master."

Then the man in black vanished instantly.

Once they were outside the reception room and no one was around, Ling Yue dared to speak, "Master! Why didn't you inform me before you came? You're really arrogant! I was terrified listening to you..."

"Look at your pathetic self. Since I dared to come, I'm not afraid of anything anymore. Lu Haotian is nothing."

Uh, I even started swearing.

Ling Yue was at the very back. Just as she was about to reach the main gate, she thought she heard Su Shiming's voice.

"Master, I need to pee. You two go to the car and wait for me."

This is Xuanqing Temple after all. With Master here, everything is fine. This Ling Yue is really troublesome. It's no wonder she's in such a hurry to pee.

Chu Xin said, "Master, please go to the car. I also need to pee. My junior sister and I will be right back."

What's the point of this "original intention"?

She wanted to see if the voice that had just spoken was really Su Shiming, and what he was doing here causing trouble.

Then, Chu Xin glanced at Jia Zhengjing's retreating figure before speaking, "So, what kind of trouble are you up to now? You're definitely not capable of doing this yourself."

Ling Yue then became mysterious: "Want to know? Promise me one thing, and I'll tell you."

Chu Xin ignored her completely and turned to leave, saying, "I'm telling Master you're going to cause trouble at Xuanqing Temple."

Why isn't this kid taking the bait?

Ling Yue grabbed him. "I just heard Su Shiming's voice. I just wanted to check if I had misheard."

"Su Shiming? How is that possible? Didn't that guy already sever ties with Xuanqing Temple?"

"Go and see for yourself, and you'll know what's going on."

Ling Yue walked with Chu Xin into the alley on her right. There were rows of houses there, like the traditional courtyard houses.

This should be the dormitory of Xuanqing Temple.

Because of their special status, it was impossible to ask them one courtyard at a time.

I could only listen for the sounds from the doorway.

"You wait here, I'll go in and take a look."

Ling Yue anxiously grabbed Chu Xin, "What are you doing? With your pathetic skills, are you looking for death! I think Lu Haotian is just being polite on the surface, he's definitely not a good guy!"

"So cowardly? At worst, I'll get caught. Anyway, Master is still in the car, so they can't do anything to me."

So, having someone to bail you out means you can do whatever you want?

Just as the two were arguing, the courtyard gate suddenly opened!

Chu Xin quickly pulled Ling Yue behind the door.

"Senior Brother, please wait a moment. I can't stay out for too long; I have to rush to the Ghostly Realm. As for that matter, I will definitely do my best. Please give my regards to Master."

If you can't recognize Su Shiming's voice at this close range, then you definitely need to see an ENT specialist!

"Be careful, call me if anything happens."

It's Zhenyangzi!

Ling Yue could clearly sense that Chu Xin was now filled with anger, so she quickly gestured for him to be quiet.

Once the courtyard gate was closed, Su Shiming flew directly to the wall of Xuanqing Temple, jumped off, and disappeared.

Chu Xin wanted to chase after him, but Ling Yue held him back tightly.

"Don't be impulsive. Even if he has left Xuanqing Temple, he still has friends here. It's normal for him to come and see his friends."

Chu Xin immediately shook off Ling Yue, "What do you know? That's Zhen Yangzi! Is he out of his mind to be friends with someone like that?"

Chu Xin followed the direction where Su Shiming disappeared.

Ling Yue was so anxious she didn't know what to do. Should she tell her master about this?

Let's wait and see.

Seeing that only Ling Yue had returned to the car, Jia Zhengjing asked with some confusion, "Did Chu Xin fall into the latrine?"

My original intention: I really want to tie up Q.

"He had something else to attend to and left first, telling us not to wait for him."

Jia Zhengjing glanced at Ling Yue, knowing there must be something going on, but didn't ask any further questions; the young people should handle their own affairs.

Ling Yue took Jia Zhengjing to Baiyun Temple and, without lingering, headed straight for the Ghostly Human World.

Fortunately, it wasn't far, and she jogged all the way. Su Shiming told her that he was going back to work in the Ghostly Human World.

I wonder how Chu Xin and the other guy are doing. I hope they didn't end up fighting.

When he arrived at the ghost realm, panting heavily, everything seemed normal.

The magnetic voices of Western songs are captivating, and some listeners enjoy the music while sipping drinks, while others gather together to share a drink and have a good time.

Su Shiming was nowhere to be seen in the bartending area; it was Master Chen who was diligently mixing drinks.

Did they not return to the Ghost Realm?
