After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 180

Chapter 180: Heading up the Mountain
“So, you’re the generous person who donated incense money to our Sanqing Temple!”

The person who came earlier was Chen Tuo. He had mentioned that he was making the donation on behalf of their boss, and now seeing him standing a half step behind and respecting Ye Lingfeng, Li Yuanming recognized him.

Li Yuanming was overjoyed. Seeing him nod, he quickly stepped forward and shook his hand. “Thank you so much. Our Ancestral Master will definitely bless you.”

He didn’t expect him to be so enthusiastic. It was different from the impression Li Yuanming had of the people he had met from the Mystery Sect before. Ye Lingfeng was momentarily taken aback, but then nodded at him.

Zhouzhou tilted her head and looked at them, recalling something. When she had given the Hemostatic Pill formula to Sharp Tongue Uncle, she didn’t charge him. She had mentioned that if he wanted to, he could make a donation to the Taoist temple. She didn’t expect him to actually do it.

That’s pretty good.

Looking at his still unhealed wound, Zhouzhou remembered something and said, “Master, do you know any way to find someone’s remains? I think I saw something like that in your study before.”

Li Yuanming couldn’t actually do any practical skills, but he could still read books. He immediately nodded and said, “Yes, I know. Whose remains are you looking for?”

Zhouzhou pointed her finger and said, “Sharp Tongue Uncle’s wife.”

Sharp Tongue Uncle?

Following her pointing direction, Li Yuanming understood. So it was him.

Because he had donated 50 million yuan to them, Li Yuanming had a good impression of him. He said, “Don’t worry, there’s a way. I’ll find the book for you later.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng finally showed a smile on his pale face. “Thank you, Master Li.”

“Why be so polite.” Li Yuanming waved his hand. His little disciple had returned, and the Taoist temple was also developing well. He was in a great mood. “Let’s go, we’re all hungry. The food is ready. Let’s eat first.”

“Yay!” Zhouzhou cheered and asked, “Did Junior Martial Uncle cook the meal?”

Seeing her acting like a little glutton, Li Yuanming couldn’t help but smile. “Yes, your Junior Martial Uncle cooked it. Now that the Taoist temple has money, he specially made a big pot of food and dishes just for you, guaranteeing that you’ll be full.”

As he spoke, he glanced at his little disciple and saw that she had gained some weight. He felt relieved.

He was most worried that she wouldn’t have enough to eat after leaving the mountain.

Fortunately, she had good luck.

Hearing this, Zhouzhou was delighted, smiling even more happily. She didn’t rush inside but held Qin Lie’s and Grandma Qin ‘s hands, promoting them, “Grandma, Dad, you must try the food that my Junior Martial Uncle made later. His cooking is delicious.”

As she spoke, she swallowed her saliva, piquing Grandma Qin’s interest.

Watching them enter, Li Yuanming walked in front of Mu Xuan and saw that he was carrying two people, who were none other than Cen Zhiyuan and Xun Huai.

He had already written a letter to inform him about the previous incident.

Looking at the unconscious figures of the two, Li Yuanming squinted his eyes and whispered, “Lock them up and be careful not to let them escape. We’ll discuss their fate tomorrow at Baiyun Temple.”

Saying that, he exchanged a glance with Mu Xuan.

Mu Xuan also whispered, “Don’t worry, Master. We have enough sacks and the plaque has already been made. We’ll send it over tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanming’s eyes brightened, and he looked at him approvingly. “A good disciple.”

After speaking, the master and disciple smiled at each other, looking rather mischievous.

On the side, Tang Qing cleared his throat, and Li Yuanming immediately looked over and obediently called out, “Senior Brother.”

Tang Qing was his true senior brother and also the most talented person among their generation of Metaphysics. He was serious, and Li Yuanming was actually a little afraid of him.

And this person was the most upright. Li Yuanming was so happy just now that he accidentally forgot about him.

Thinking that he had heard their conversation just now, Li Yuanming’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

Unexpectedly, Tang Qing just glanced at him, not only didn’t scold him but even said, “You’ve taught them well.”

After saying that, he walked inside.

Li Yuanming stood still, watching his figure, and after a while, he wasn’t sure, “Is Senior Brother praising me?”

Mu Xuan nodded, “Master didn’t see it wrong. It’s not a dream either. The treasure they obtained from the Mystery Sect Conference was also obtained with Senior Martial Uncle Tang’s help.”

The two of them?

Li Yuanming was dumbfounded, unable to imagine that scene.

He knew how clever his little disciple was, but when did his senior brother start fooling around with a child?

He dared not think too much, but after a while, he felt somewhat pleased, “Finally, the eldest senior brother has awakened.”

Of course, that was how it should be. Baiyun Temple had been their archenemy for so many years, so there was no need to pretend. When they had the opportunity, they naturally had to thoroughly take advantage of them.

He was venting his anger for his little disciple.

With this thought, he felt even more righteous. He instructed Mu Xuan to keep an eye on the prisoners and then walked inside.

Sanqing Temple followed a path of purity and vegetarianism. However, Junior Martial Uncle of Zhouzhou cooked really well. Even the vegetarian dishes were delicious. Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were getting older, so they usually ate light meals, but here they ate half a bowl more.

As for Zhouzhou, she had two more bowls on top of her usual eight.

Junior Martial Uncle smiled at her and asked, “Is it enough? If not, Junior Martial Uncle can make some more.”

Zhouzhou held her bowl, her little head almost buried inside it, her cheeks puffed out, and she ate happily. In contrast, Wangcai, who was forced to be vegetarian again, looked listless.

He had been so happy playing in the mountains earlier, but now he felt so sad.

He wanted to go home, whimpering.

Zhouzhou nodded vigorously like a little chick pecking at rice, “It’s enough, it’s enough. Junior Martial Uncle’s cooking is really delicious.”

Junior Martial Uncle had originally wanted to pat her head, but seeing the “prosperity and fortune” on her forehead, he didn’t know where to start, so he just smiled and said, “Then eat some more.”

“Mhmm!”

After finishing the meal, Zhouzhou distributed the gifts she had brought.

Li Yuanming looked at the pile of gifts, never expecting that one day he would enjoy the blessings from his little disciple. He was deeply moved and was about to embrace his little disciple emotionally when Zhouzhou suddenly turned around, holding two packages and said, “I’m going to see Abbot Yi Yun!”

After saying that, she quickly ran off.

Li Yuanming’s face immediately darkened.

Seeing him like this, Mu Xuan was accustomed to it and advised, “Master, the Abbot has also raised Zhouzhou before.”

If it weren’t for Zhouzhou’s desperate situation, causing the temple to struggle to survive, they probably wouldn’t have had this connection with her.

Li Yuanming naturally understood this reasoning. It’s just that he was used to competing with that old bald donkey next door and always wanted to outshine him. But Zhouzhou, with these two bowls of rice, made it difficult for him to show off.

Knowing his thoughts, Mu Xuan didn’t say anything further.

In his opinion, Master was just asking for trouble. Zhouzhou was already a member of their Taoist temple, going to the neighboring temple was just like visiting relatives. She would come back, so there was nothing to worry about.

He didn’t mind and went to help Junior Martial Uncle wash the dishes.

Qin Lie stood up and said, “I’ll go check on Zhouzhou.”

Saying that, he headed towards the neighboring temple.

Ye Lingfeng raised his cup and finished the water, took the incense, and followed suit.

As for Wen Jing, she didn’t follow along as well. Unlike Zhouzhou, who had eaten meals from both families. She had been studying Taoism since birth, so she wouldn’t step into Buddhism. It wasn’t a conflict, just a matter of avoidance and mutual respect.

Chen Tuo was assigned to watch over Cen Zhiyuan and Xun Huai and the others.

So, only Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng went to the neighboring temple.

When they reached the door, Qin Lie glanced at the incense in Ye Lingfeng’s hand, and his expression suddenly became complex…
