"": 200,

"": ""The night wind is cold, especially here beside the river at the foot of the mountain. And where does that leave Elder Chen?"
Luo Bin had not said that to deliberately stir up trouble.
White Oak had frowned first, displeasure appearing on his face. Only then had Luo Bin immediately spoken up.
Apart from the Purple-Robed Real Persons, even the Red-Robed Taoists lowered their heads slightly, not daring to anger White Oak.
White Oak's Middle Corpse White was far too severe. A single disagreement could make him lash out. How could anyone talk rules with him?
Bringing up Chen Hongming was also Luo Bin's best effort to ease the situation and deny White Oak any opportunity to lose his temper.
"What do you think?" Turning slightly, Luo Bin dipped his head in a show of respect.
"A mere Python Temple has no right to make Divine Firmament Mountain give way, nor any right to speak of rules. You understand propriety, and you know to consider Elder Chen's condition. He's endured a whole day of jolting travel. He does indeed need proper rest." A little more satisfaction appeared in White Oak's eyes.
"But..." A flicker of alarm appeared in Granny Li's eyes.
Luo Bin turned back, his eyelids shifting slightly as he gave Granny Li a warning too subtle for anyone else to notice.
Beads of sweat the size of beans formed on Granny Li's forehead. She immediately fell silent.
"She's too frightened to speak. After all, she's an old woman. It's understandable that she wants to 'uphold' her ancestors' rules. Let's enter the temple. What do you think, Taoist?" Luo Bin looked toward Bai Shouxin beside him.
White Oak, however, headed straight down the slope toward the Python Head Temple.
He ignored Granny Li completely.
