"Senior Brother Taiping, is this your first time hearing about the Scripture Guardians of Cloud-Hidden Temple?"
Chu Tiancheng hurriedly asked Xu Taiping.
"It is indeed."
Xu Taiping nodded.
During his time with Monk Xuanzhi, they had either been fleeing for their lives or undergoing Tribulation Transcendence. How could they have had time to discuss such things?
"At Cloud-Hidden Temple, only the disciples with the greatest talent and strongest Buddha Fate qualify to be chosen as Scripture Guardians. Every abbot of Cloud-Hidden Temple is selected from among these Scripture Guardian disciples."
Chu Tiancheng explained excitedly.
"Besides that, there have always been only eighteen Scripture Guardian disciples. If Master Xuanzhi wasn't joking, this should be the first time in Cloud-Hidden Temple's long history that all eighteen Scripture Guardians have left the mountain together."
Lu Rushuang added, a hint of excitement in her eyes as well.
Hearing this, Xu Taiping quickly picked up the Voice Transmission Jade Slip and asked Xuanzhi:
"Xuanzhi, you aren't joking, are you? All eighteen Scripture Guardians leaving the mountain together is no laughing matter."
Before long, Xuanzhi's voice came from the Jade Slip again:
"Brother Xu, this was our abbot's decision. In his words, you have an affinity with the Buddha and deserve Cloud-Hidden Temple's wholehearted assistance."
At these words, Xu Taiping scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.
Why has this Little Monk become so embarrassingly effusive after dying once?
"Little Martial Aunt, I don't think Master Xuanzhi is... Little Martial Aunt?"
Xu Taiping had just been about to explain to his Little Martial Aunt and the others, only to find them all staring fixedly at him as though they had seen a ghost.
"Senior Brother Taiping, just what did you do to make Cloud-Hidden Temple's abbot repay you like this? Teach your junior sister a thing or two!"
