Duo Bao Will Join the Buddhist Sect (2)

At this point, Yuanshi paused, looked at Yun Ting, and said, "Ting'er, what do you think about this matter?"

Yun Ting stroked his chin and said, "Second Uncle makes a lot of sense, but the candidate still needs careful consideration... After all, it won't be easy to unite the Interception Sect disciples who were converted and have them stand against the Chan Sect traitors and the former Western Teachings disciples."

Yuanshi nodded. "That's right. Randeng may have defected to the Buddhist Sect, but back in the Chan Sect, his management skills were quite good... Otherwise, I wouldn't have made him the Chan Sect's Deputy Sect Master. In the Chan Sect, he was much like Duo Bao in the Interception Sect..."

At that, Yuanshi's eyes lit up. "Right, Duo Bao... If we let Duo Bao join the Buddhist Sect and divide its fortune, that would definitely be an excellent move..."

Yun Ting was dumbfounded. "Second Uncle, your idea is indeed good, but my father has been planning to bring Senior Brother Duo Bao back from Eight Sceneries Palace after some time. Yet here you are, sending him straight into the Buddhist Sect?"

Yuanshi stroked his chin. "Isn't this for the great cause of our Mystic Gate? As for your father, we'll discuss it with him first. If he disagrees, we'll handle it in secret. Once the deed is done, there'll be nothing left for him to disagree with."

Yun Ting nodded helplessly. "That's the only way... But will Senior Brother Duo Bao agree?"

Laozi stroked his beard. "Duo Bao has always been honest and obedient, so he should be easy enough to persuade... Besides, whether he listens or not, this old Daoist has ways to deal with him. If reason fails, we'll just stuff him into the Buddhist Sect by force."
