A group of people in the temple stared wide-eyed at one another, unable to come back to their senses for a long while.
What was going on? First, a young Fangshi had entered Bumi Temple as though it were unguarded territory, and then a sacred beast found only in legends had appeared in the world... They weren't dreaming, were they?
It was not until the clash of weapons and the loud warnings of the warrior monks came from the main gate that the abbot came to his senses.
"There's no need to stop them. Let Yuanjiu Shidi's people enter and search." After saying this, he turned to Wu Xin. "You may need to change your appearance as well, lest they keep pestering you to the bitter end."
"Yes, I'll go prepare at once." Wu Xin nodded.
Just as he was about to leave, the abbot could not help speaking again. "That person just now... was he also an old friend of yours?"
"Why do you say that?"
"You knew his surname, and you knew he would not deal a killing blow to the temple guardians... And I noticed that when you spoke, his expression clearly changed slightly, as though... he recognized you."
"Perhaps he mistook me for someone else." Wu Xin chuckled softly. "It is true that I know him, but for a figure as important as him, how many people in Qi State would not know him?"
Seeing him say so, the abbot did not press further. "Indeed. A Fangshi this powerful could never be an unknown nobody. Go on."
Wu Xin lifted the brim of his hat and gazed toward the direction the golden dragon had departed, then turned and entered the temple.
"Hm hm hm hm... Seven flowers on one vine..." Chi hummed a little tune
