After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Becoming the Temple Master
Xuan Ling could almost hear his beloved treasure leaving him. He was about to speak when he suddenly noticed Ancestral Master Chen looking at him. He immediately lowered his head and said, “Then I’ll trouble Junior Nephew.”

It was almost like he was spitting blood as he said those words. He didn’t expect that after taking away Baiyun Temple, they would still want to take advantage of the situation. They were nothing more than a bunch of robbers!

However, in front of Ancestral Master Chen, he didn’t dare utter a word of objection and could only forcefully suppress his displeasure.

But who was Ancestral Master Chen? He had seen it all and could see through Xuan Ling’s thoughts. This only made him even more disappointed.

There was a reason why Baiyun Temple had come to this point today.

When he turned his head and saw Zhouzhou and Li Yuanming exchanging meaningful glances, their eyes seemed to be sparkling with gold. It was a bit worldly and didn’t look like something a monastic person would have, but at the same time, they were the most kind-hearted.

Now, even Ancestral Master Chen truly envied the Ancestral Master Li. With this little girl, the Sanqing Temple could be revitalized and return to its former glory. It was just a matter of time.

Thinking about this, he suddenly spoke, “Little girl, can I trouble you with something?”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou looked over, blinked her eyes, and pointed at herself with her chubby little hand, “Me?”

“Yes.” Ancestral Master Chen nodded slightly and said, “From today onwards, Baiyun Temple will be entrusted to you. But I have one request: you must become the Temple Master here. Apart from that, if any other disciples of Baiyun Temple do something wrong, you can freely punish them.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s mouth dropped open, and her little head couldn’t process his words.

Was this a request? Wasn’t this like a gift for her?

She thought requests were things like asking her Master to give her the Little Medicinal Cauldron or asking her father to tie a few more little braids for her.

How could someone have such a request?

She instinctively touched her Piles of Wealth on top of her head. Yes, her treasure was still there. It wasn’t a dream.

So why would he say such things? Wasn’t he saying that from now on, all of Baiyun Temple in the world belonged to her? She only wanted one Baiyun Temple, so why was everything being given to her?

She couldn’t figure it out, so she quietly turned her head to look in the direction of the Ancestral Master Li. She pointed at her head with her chubby hand, then looked at Ancestral Master Chen with a suspicious expression, silently mouthing some words to the Ancestral Master Li.

Could he also be a fool?

Was this called a group of fools?

When the Ancestral Master Li heard his words, he also paused for a few seconds before speaking with a serious expression, “Old Chen, are you telling the truth?”

“Mm.” Ancestral Master Chen also knew they didn’t believe him and said, “I kindly ask Little Girl to take care of Baiyun Temple for me. If you encounter any unruly disciples in the future, you can discipline them as you see fit.”

“As a reward, I will give you all of my collection.”

Wow!

Zhouzhou couldn’t help but exclaim. Although she didn’t know what treasures he had, he was the Ancestral Master Li of Baiyun Temple. His treasures must not be any less than those of their Ancestral Master Li.

It happened! It really happened this time!

Even the Ancestral Master Li was surprised by his words, but he quickly understood his intentions.

Zhouzhou was a disciple of the Sanqing Temple, but she was helping to manage Baiyun Temple and straighten out those crooked sprouts. By purifying the atmosphere, it would be Baiyun Temple that would benefit in the end.

His move seemed like a sacrifice, but in the long run, it was still beneficial. It would at least allow Baiyun Temple to remain for a few more hundred years.

What a clever calculation.

But it didn’t matter, they were also benefiting from it.

Thinking about this, he reluctantly said, “Zhouzhou, considering his sincere request, you should agree.”

Even though they were benefiting as well, they still had to give him a hard time with their words.

Ancestral Master Chen smiled helplessly but didn’t dwell on it. He looked at Zhouzhou and asked, “Little girl, what do you think?”

Zhouzhou didn’t rush to agree and said, “If I make them listen to everything I say, they will really have to obey whatever I say?”

“Yes, you don’t have to worry. I will communicate with them through dreams and demand that they show utmost respect to you, treating you as they would treat me,” Ancestral Master Chen assured her.

“Oh, I see.” Zhouzhou touched her chubby double chin and pointed her fat paw at Xuan Ling, saying, “Then make him call me ‘Grandpa’ first!”

He hadn’t called her that just now, and he even tried to provoke their master-disciple relationship. She wasn’t happy about it and insisted on hearing it!

Ancestral Master Chen was taken aback. He never expected the little girl to say such a thing. After a moment, he realized and chuckled. After all, she was just a child, and her thoughts were peculiar.

He looked at Xuan Ling, and his expression instantly turned serious. “You heard what I said earlier, right? If you don’t want to call her that, you can leave Baiyun Temple. Then, there will be no need to call her anything.”

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ling’s body trembled. Did this mean they wanted to drive him out of Baiyun Temple?

Although he had entertained the idea of leaving this place earlier, he never intended to leave Baiyun Temple. Without Baiyun Temple, he was nothing.

Considering this, even if he felt aggrieved, he could only lower his head, bow, and say, “Grandpa.”

“Yes!” Zhouzhou responded crisply. Her eyes immediately curved into a satisfied expression, and she nodded. Then, she looked at Ancestral Master Chen and said, “Alright then.”

He had given treasures to her and Xuan Ling. Only fools would refuse!

“Thank you. I will send the items to the Sanqing Temple tomorrow,” Ancestral Master Chen said before his figure drifted away.

Baiyun Temple would belong to them from now on. He couldn’t linger here any longer.

The Ancestral Master, on the other hand, waved his hand generously and said, “Old Chen, let’s make another appointment if fate allows.”

From now on, he would completely overshadow him!

Upon hearing his words, Ancestral Master Chen paused for a moment and then ran even faster.

He couldn’t bear his wild temperament. He couldn’t do anything about it.

“Zhouzhou, you did great,” the Ancestral Master couldn’t help but praise her. Today was the most satisfying day in hundreds of years for him. He couldn’t help but give her a thumbs-up.

“Huh?” Zhouzhou looked at his dusty hand and hadn’t noticed it before. She stared at it incredulously, “Ancestral Master, why did your hand change back to this?”

Wasn’t it already transformed into gold?

Speaking of this, the Ancestral Master sighed heavily, casting a resentful glance at her.

Wasn’t it because of her vinegar jar of a father, Qin Lie, and her mysterious biological father?

Truly, it was easy to make mistakes when blinded by money.

Thinking about how a golden light had just taken away all the merits of his hand, the Ancestral Master’s face flushed. He couldn’t mention such an embarrassing matter and casually said, “I got into a fight with someone and broke my hand.”

Feeling upset, he squatted in the corner and drew circles, sulking.

Zhouzhou didn’t understand. She looked at the statue and noticed that its left hand had also darkened. Overwhelmed by sadness, she clenched her fists and patted her chest. Her chubby legs kicked in response, and she cried even harder.

Wuwuwu! How could her luck be so bad?

After finally accumulating so much, it all disappeared in an instant.

The pain of being a little loser surged once again. She clenched her fist and patted her chest. Her chubby legs kicked, intensifying her cries.

Wuwuwu! How could she earn money at a pace that matched the speed at which the Ancestral Master squandered it?

This troublesome Ancestral Master!

Why did she have to end up with him?

The little girl cried heart-wrenchingly, and Mu Xuan, feeling sorry for her, approached and lifted her up. He gently wiped the empty corners of her eyes with his fingertips and patted her small head, saying, “Don’t worry, take it slowly. Aren’t there still plenty of fat sheep? You can make up for it.”

As he spoke, he glanced in Xuan Ling’s direction.

That’s right.

Zhouzhou stopped crying; her eyes suddenly brightened. She turned her head and stared intently at Xuan Ling with an intense gaze. It scared Xuan Ling, who instinctively clutched his pockets tightly…
