After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 183

Chapter 183: Prepare for Battle!
Upon hearing these words, Xuan Ling was taken aback and almost passed out. The little girl had a braid standing tall on her head and seemed a bit clueless, but he didn’t expect her to be so clever. Looking at her innocent face, he finally understood why Senior Brother Cen insisted on arguing with a child. This little girl was even more infuriating than her master, Li Yuanming!

Taking a deep breath, he forced a smile and said, “Niece, you’re just joking. I and your master are of the same generation.”

In other words, if she called him grandson, then her master would have to do the same.

Unexpectedly, Zhouzhou wasn’t fooled at all. She tilted her head and looked at him strangely, saying in a soft voice, “So I said, let’s mind our own business, Senior Martial Uncle. How come you can’t understand such a simple thing? What a pity.”

She looked at him with pity in her eyes.

It was truly miserable. Baiyun Temple, such a large temple, yet had a bunch of fools.

The little girl’s eyes were clear, and even her expressions could be seen through at a glance. Xuan Ling’s face turned green with anger.

This was going too far!

“Zhouzhou.” Li Yuanming, who had been watching the show, finally spoke, “Come here.”

To avoid angering him further and risking the loss of their precious items, they should bring Zhouzhou in. There was no rush to fill the sack; they could take their time.

Understanding Li Yuanming’s intention, Zhouzhou immediately ran over and stood obediently by his side, not saying a word.

Li Yuanming smiled at Xuan Ling and said, “Senior Brother Xuan Ling, don’t be angry. Zhouzhou is just honest. When Senior Brother Cen said he would call her grandpa, she took it seriously.”

He spoke sincerely, and if Xuan Ling hadn’t inquired about the reason beforehand, he might have believed his nonsense.

This master and disciple were quite shameless.

Xuan Ling’s headache worsened. He couldn’t confront a child publicly, so he could only swallow his anger and invite them inside.

“Let’s go.” Li Yuanming waved his hand, and the crowd of onlookers followed immediately.

Xuan Ling endured and endured, almost causing himself internal injuries. His thousands of disciples asked him, “Master, what should we do now?”

What else could they do? Xuan Ling’s hand trembled slightly. He knew very well that today’s matter wouldn’t be easily resolved.

“Has Elder Su arrived yet?”

The disciple nodded. “He has already been invited and will arrive soon.”

That’s good.

Xuan Ling took a deep breath and walked inside.

At this moment, Zhouzhou looked around curiously, touching this and that. When she saw a large empty space in the courtyard, her eyes lit up with excitement. She ran to Li Yuanming and asked, “Master, can I use this area to grow herbs?”

She admired the herb garden in the backyard of the abbot’s residence. Unfortunately, Sanqing Temple was a bit small, and all the space was used for growing vegetables. There was no place to grow medicinal herbs.

“Of course.” Li Yuanming readily agreed, “This mountain belongs to Baiyun Temple, and in the future, it will also be the territory of Sanqing Temple. You can grow as many herbs as you want.”

Zhouzhou exclaimed with joy and jumped up, causing her braid to sway even more. From a distance, it looked like a spring onion.

With eight spring onions complementing Xiao Yuanbao, it was extremely eye-catching.

Xuan Ling’s face stiffened when he heard their conversation. He couldn’t even pretend anymore.

These two were shameless. They were already thinking about what to do with the place.

He was extremely annoyed but couldn’t say anything in public, fearing that he wouldn’t live to see Elder Su.

Endure, endure.

Taking a deep breath, he walked forward and invited them inside.

Upon hearing that there was something delicious, Zhouzhou didn’t refuse. She happily ran inside and sat next to Li Yuanming. She swung her short legs and happily ate the fruits she had picked on the mountain. She had been carrying the plaque all the way, and now she was hungry.

Li Yuanming reached out, and Mu Xuan respectfully handed him the gambling agreement, standing behind him. He casually flicked Zhouzhou’s braid with his hand, and when she looked over, he winked at her.

Feeling his action, Zhouzhou looked up at him. Seeing his gesture, she also winked back, her lips forming a sweet smile. She had planned to grab some fruits, but she stopped and placed her hand on her knee, looking especially obedient.

Only those familiar with her knew that she was entering a state of battle.

First, they would take down Baiyun Temple, and then there would be plenty of delicious food in the future.

Li Yuanming pretended to make small talk. “As members of the Mystery Sect, we value integrity to avoid karmic retribution. Senior Brother Xuan Ling has always been exemplary in this regard. When my master was still alive, he often praised you in front of us, saying that you were honest and unlike me, who couldn’t resist stealing food.”

As he spoke, the little girl nodded earnestly, her cute face filled with seriousness. “Master also often praised Senior Brother Xuan Ling, saying how honest you were. Unlike me, who always says I won’t steal but can’t resist it.”

Saying that, the little girl shyly touched her stomach, scratched the back of her head, and blushed slightly. Her big watery eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Xuan Ling.

She exposed herself, but everyone didn’t think it was a bad thing. On the contrary, they found her even cuter.

It could only be said that being cute had its advantages.

They were all charmed, but Xuan Ling didn’t feel happy because of their praises. Instead, he became more cautious.

When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy. What is he planning to do?

Sure enough, immediately after, Li Yuanming unfolded the gambling agreement.

He said, “This is the gambling agreement signed by Senior Brother Cen and Junior Martial Niece Xun Huai. It says that if we can complete the mission, Baiyun Temple will be handed over to us.”

Because there were outsiders present, Li Yuanming didn’t go into detail about the mission. Otherwise, the mention of the Thousand-Year Ancient Demon would surely cause panic.

He smiled with a sincere and honest face and said, “Mu Xuan and Zhouzhou, these two children also had good luck. They actually managed to complete it. However, this agreement wasn’t signed by Senior Brother Xuan Ling, so he doesn’t have to recognize it. How about we just forget about this matter? We don’t have the heart to take away your hard work.”

“This won’t do.” Zhouzhou pouted her small chubby face, showing disapproval. “Master, this is putting Senior Brother Xuan Ling in an unfair position. He is a person of integrity, even though the Big Fool and the Little Fool aren’t the temple’s masters, the Big Fool is still Senior Brother Xuan Ling’s senior. How can a junior refuse the decision made by his senior? Master, you’re instigating discord among them.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanming seemed to suddenly realize, “Yes, that’s right. I’m really sorry. Xuan Ling and Senior Brother Cen have always had a good relationship, like brothers. If Senior Brother Cen recognizes the gambling agreement, Xuan Ling definitely won’t deny it.”

The master and disciple echoed each other, completely blocking off Xuan Ling’s retreat.

If he didn’t hand over Baiyun Temple now, he would be breaking his word. If he abandoned the temple to protect himself and drove away Cen Zhiyuan, it would be a betrayal of the bonds between fellow disciples.

The master and disciple duo closed off all his options with just a few words!

Xuan Ling’s chest rose and fell, unable to utter a word due to their suffocating tactics.

Just at that moment, someone walked in, and a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in their eyes. A savior had arrived!
