The Luck Transfer Talisman of the Koi [New Book Please Collect!]

After waiting a few more days, Li Chu still hadn't received any assassins from the Azure Wing Tower. Instead, he got a professional team.

One day, a group of four young Daoist priests arrived at the Yu Hang County Yamen.

They were all dressed in identical Azure Blue White Bottom Daoist Robes, with cuffed sleeves and tied leggings. Three males and one female, all were Full of Spirit and Energy.

After presenting their calling card, it was revealed that these individuals were all from the Careful Void Temple outside Zhao Ge City, disciples of Daoist Priest Chang Shouchong.

Gongsun Zhe and Chang Shouchong had a deep friendship. When he left Zhao Ge, he had written a letter to him asking for help.

Unfortunately, Chang Shouchong was away on a journey at the time. A few days ago, he returned to the Careful Void Temple, saw Gongsun Zhe's plea for help letter, and immediately dispatched four of his disciples to assist, placing them at Gongsun Zhe's disposal.

Gongsun Zhe was Overjoyed.

He introduced Li Chu to the group. When he mentioned that Li Chu was from Ten Li Slope Outside the Town's Virtuous Cloud Temple, a hint of Disapproval appeared in the eyes of the Careful Void Temple disciples.

The Careful Void Temple was a Thousand Year Inheritance, a Renowned Daoist Sect with high status, and a First-Class Great Sect second only to the Twelve Immortal Sects in the martial world. It was normal for them to feel a bit of Arrogance towards a little Daoist priest from the countryside.

Li Chu, however, politely nodded.

He had always been polite and didn't care how others viewed him.

The leader of the Careful Void Temple group, a young Daoist priest, spoke directly: "Now that we are here, Lord Gongsun's safety will naturally be our responsibility. Irrelevant People are best advised not to interfere further."

As he spoke, he didn't even glance at Li Chu.

Although they belonged to the same Daoist sect, the difference in their standing was like a chasm, and not everyone was worthy of being called a Fellow Daoist.

Gongsun Zhe's expression changed slightly, showing displeasure. He glanced at his daughter beside him.

Gongsun Rou stood up and said, "Little Daoist Priest Li saved our lives. He is a great benefactor to my father and me. Although you Daoist priests are disciples of renowned sects, you are newcomers here and are not familiar with the situation. You may still need Little Daoist Priest Li's help."

The young Daoist priest's attitude towards her softened considerably. He said slowly, "My Master ordered us to come here and be at your disposal. If Miss Gongsun insists on keeping him, we naturally have No Objection. This Humble Daoist just feels... there is no need."

Gongsun Rou's eyebrows twitched, as if she wanted to say something more.

At this moment, Li Chu said, "It's fine if I'm not needed here. I also want to return to the Virtuous Cloud Temple."

He was indeed happy to have someone to take over.

These days, he hadn't leveled up or earned money. Besides intensively supplementing his Kidney, he had gained nothing...

Although Gongsun Rou was reluctant, since Li Chu wanted to leave, she could do nothing but reluctantly see him out.

There was an Ugly Strong Daoist in the Careful Void Temple group. Seeing this scene, he grumbled indignantly in a low voice, "Pretty Boy."

It seemed to remind him of some unpleasant memories.

The leading young Daoist priest looked at Gongsun Rou's Graceful retreating figure, a hint of Arrogance flashing in his eyes.

Hmph.

Seeing Ten Li Slope with its Flowers Red and Willows Green in the distance, Li Chu felt a wave of relief.

Finally, he was back home in familiar surroundings.

Dozing in the main hall, eating with his Master, then heading to the Liu Family Ghost Building to Level Up – what a pleasant and comfortable rhythm of life.

But he was stunned almost immediately.

It was as if he had stumbled upon an unfamiliar scene.

The Virtuous Cloud Temple's renovation was complete, nearly doubling its original size, mainly due to the expansion of the backyard.

But this wasn't what made him feel out of place. What made him feel out of place was...

The courtyard in front was now packed with people, the queue stretching all the way out the gate.

This Bustling with Activity scene.

Was this still the Virtuous Cloud Temple he knew?

Especially when the women in the queue saw Li Chu, they suddenly erupted in a chaotic Scream. Some of the Brave Ones even rushed straight at him.

Li Chu immediately felt Horrified.

Danger!

He Turned and Ran.

After a good deal of Dodging and Weaving, he finally managed to Shake Off the crowd and Climb Into the front courtyard.

His Hairpin was Askew, his Clothes Disheveled, and there were Red Stains on his face.

Good Heavens.

He had never been so Disheveled, not even when facing the Hundred Ghosts Parade at Night.

Back at the Daoist Temple, he saw Yu Qi'an Kneel and Sit cross-legged on a cushion, exuding an Immortal Bone Structure. Little Yue'er, dressed as a Female Daoist, was sitting obediently beside him, holding a Small Basket.

Both looked utterly Tired.

The Crowd that had been Burning Incense had run out to chase Li Chu, so they had only managed to Rest for a short while.

The Koi Girl looked at Li Chu, lost in thought for a moment, then broke into a Smile. "Master? You're back."

Seeing that she still remembered him, Li Chu was deeply Moved.

He looked at Little Yue'er's attire and asked strangely, "Miss Yue'er, are you a Daoist now too?"

"I just had her wear this to help receive guests. When you weren't here, everyone liked to go to Little Yue'er when they had problems," Yu Qi'an said, a hint of disappointment in his tone.

It was probably the kind of melancholy that comes from being the former idol of Yuhang Town's middle-aged and elderly women, only to suddenly fall to third place in popularity at Virtuous Cloud Temple, creating a huge gap.

"Why?" Li Chu asked.

"Because they all like hearing my blessings, hehe," Little Yue'er said with a smile.

"It started with an old woman who saw Yue'er at the Daoist Temple and told her about her family's affairs. Little Yue'er just said, 'May your wish come true,' and when she went back, she really had a big, healthy baby."

"Huh?"

"Oh, it was her daughter-in-law who gave birth," Yu Qi'an quickly explained. "After that, a few more people received Little Yue'er's blessings and all their wishes came true. Little Yue'er became famous nearby. Now, whatever people wish for, they come to tell her and ask for a Luck Transfer Talisman to take back."

Li Chu glanced at the basket in Little Yue'er's hand. It was indeed filled with intricately folded personal talismans.

He was somewhat surprised. "Little Yue'er knows how to draw talismans?"

He was surprised because Virtuous Cloud Temple had never sold talismans before.

He didn't.

And Master... never distracted himself with such trivial matters.

"No," Little Yue'er shook her head and denied it.

"She's a lucky charm, whatever she draws turns out well," Yu Qi'an stroked his beard and smiled. "Now, a Luck Transfer Talisman drawn by Little Yue'er sells for five hundred wen."

Li Chu was even more surprised this time.

Two such talismans would be one tael of silver. Looking at the number of pilgrims outside, they probably sold hundreds a day.

This was faster than picking up money.

He couldn't help but clasp Little Yue'er's hand tightly and say, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Little Yue'er was a bit confused, but she felt like she was being praised and was happy.

Of course, among so many pilgrims, Little Yue'er's fame only accounted for a small part. Most of them came because of Li Chu.

Due to the commotion caused by Li Chu's first appearance, the Master and disciple decided to temporarily close the Temple Gate.

Li Chu pondered. Tomorrow, he needed to put up a sign outside that read, "Respect Daoists, Worship with Civility."

Hmm... he also needed to add a line: No touching. Violators will be fined.

Severe punishment.

As soon as he closed the door and planned to go to the backyard to rest, he heard a banging sound on the door.

"Sorry, we're closed today. Please come back early tomorrow," Li Chu said.

"Li Chu? Is that you, Li Chu? Open the door, I need your help with something!" a surprised voice came from outside the gate.

It was Wang Longqi.

Li Chu's heart stirred, as if he saw friendship shining before his eyes.

Thanks to "Shi Nian Miao Devil King" for the hundred rewards.
