Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 210 Shamelessness and Thick-skinnedness

"Uncle-Master, what are you saying?"

Jie Kong looked behind him, puzzled, but the next moment, two figures were reflected in his pupils.

"The master's intuition is quite sharp."

A gentle breeze seemed to blow through the courtyard, which was originally empty except for the two people and thatch. Then, two figures descended from the sky as if riding the wind.

"Whoosh—"

In the blink of an eye, Lü Qian and Zhang Zhiwei landed steadily from mid-air. They looked at Hui Jing and Jie Kong with smiles on their faces, and performed a Taoist salute without blushing or panting.

His movements were fluid, showing no embarrassment at being exposed; instead, he seemed as relaxed and at ease as an invited guest.

"May I ask what important matter you wish to discuss with us, Master?"

Lu Qian stepped forward, his gaze first sweeping over Jie Kong before turning to Zen Master Huijing with a serious expression.

Zhang Zhiwei followed closely behind, his expression also becoming serious. "Indeed, if there is any major matter that involves a wide range of people, please tell us so that we can do our part."

Master Huijing nodded approvingly at the two men's shameless behavior.

Lu Qian and Zhang Zhiwei had followed Jie Kong here; to put it nicely, they had just happened to run into him; to put it bluntly, they had ulterior motives.

But these two junior Taoist disciples are really interesting.

After being exposed by Zen Master Huijing, he not only felt no shame, but even fought back, and instead emerged from the shadows in a dignified manner.

They stood confidently before me as guests.

What's even more amazing is that these two directly cut off the previous topic of stalking and changed the subject to asking if they needed help.

But what's even worse is that they used the terms "important matter" and "major matter" in their speech.

Such words actually mean that unless it's a major issue, there's no need to ask them for help.

Coincidentally, Zen Master Huijing not only had something important to do here, but also had a thick skin.

It's just asking two Taoist disciples for help, what's the big deal?

Their Taoist patriarch once said that the three religions were originally one family.

What? You're saying that Zen Master Huijing is an elder, and it's beneath him to trouble two juniors to do this?

What a joke! If you really cared about such things, do you think Zen Master Huijing's unkempt appearance was fake?

The story of the two junior Taoist disciples at the Lu family's birthday banquet has been circulating for some time now.

Even he had overheard it once when he was begging for alms at the foot of the mountain, and now that he had met Zhang Zhiwei and Lü Qian, he naturally had his own speculations.

These two are the east wind he has been waiting for for many days!

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk greets you."

Looking at the two smiling Taoist disciples in front of him, Zen Master Huijing chanted a Buddhist prayer.

He secretly patted the back of the head of the young monk Jiekong, signaling his junior disciple to learn a few moves from him.

Speaking of which, although the young monk Jiekong was somewhat arrogant and unruly.

However, he is not inherently bad, and he is also exceptionally intelligent, possessing remarkable comprehension of Buddhist scriptures, doctrines, and martial arts.

However, with every gain comes a loss, and this is also the biggest drawback of the solution to emptiness.

Young talents are never lacking in ambition, but sometimes this ambition becomes arrogance when it is too strong.

This arrogance blinds people to the path ahead, causing them to focus only on self-admiration and easily lead them astray.

Zen Master Huijing was entrusted by his senior brother, who was also Jiekong's master, to take Jiekong with him on this mission.

Let's see if we can take the opportunity on the way to dismantle Jie Kong's arrogance and teach him a bit of shamelessness and cunning.

As for why this task was assigned to the disheveled Zen Master Huijing, it was naturally because this middle-aged monk was an expert in this field.

Master Huijing walked forward with a smile, and his slovenly demeanor vanished in those few steps, as if he had transformed into a refined and ethereal high monk.

"It seems that you two young friends are quite skilled in divination. I happen to have an important matter to resolve here."

At this point, his aura changed; the amiable smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression, and his voice became steady and calm.

"From what I understand, that Westerner's church has a grand plan, and its ambitions are probably not small."

He shook his head. "It's not a trick to convert believers, but rather a scheme to affect the entire county."

"This concerns the lives of ordinary people, so please, my two young friends, sit down with me for a detailed discussion."
