"Mr. Gu, you are mistaken!"

"To be honest, you have a deep connection with our Western Sect. My junior brother Zhunti and I were forced to resort to such methods. We hope that you, Benefactor Gu, can forgive us!"

The guide said with a broad smile.

After speaking, he bowed deeply to Gu Xuan and performed the so-called Buddhist ritual.

However, it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see.

This is nothing but his high-sounding rhetoric; he's just spouting nonsense and making things up!

It has to be said, this Daoist who guides us has a really thick skin!

Add to that his silver tongue, which can turn black into white, and it would be a complete waste of his talent if he didn't go into business like insurance sales!

Therefore, Gu Xuan simply couldn't be bothered to give him a friendly look.

I have no desire to continue this endless arguing with these bald monks!

Without saying a word, he immediately started cursing: "Go to hell with your fate! Stop spouting nonsense!"

"If you want to fight, then just do it properly. What's with all this talking?!"

“You bunch of stinking bald monks always put on a compassionate act, and when you see someone killing, you say that they have committed a sin of killing and insist that they lay down their butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.”

"But when it comes to you killing people yourselves, you call it relieving people's suffering and helping the souls of the dead, and you shamelessly claim that it is out of compassion."

"Hmph! Whenever you encounter a little trouble, you all quickly shut your doors and become cowards; but as soon as you hear about any potential profits, you all immediately scurry over like lapdogs!"

"Damn it, the kind of hypocritical bald monks I despise the most in my life are those who are outwardly benevolent and righteous but secretly engage in immoral and immoral acts!"

"......."

These words were a string of insults.

The direct insults broke the defenses of Jieyin and Zhunti, causing them to turn red!

Unable to maintain their sanctimonious facade any longer, the previously silent Zhunti Daoist glared at Gu Xuan below with murderous intent, his eyes wide with fury.

As the senior disciple, the Guide Daoist was indeed more experienced and shrewd than most people; his profound knowledge and composure in handling affairs were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

He quickly suppressed the raging anger surging within him, displaying extraordinary composure.

At the same time, he stretched out a hand.

He held his junior brother, Zhunti Daoist, tightly by the side, who had already lost his mind due to anger, fearing that he would ruin everything due to a moment of impulsiveness.

The guide took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Then, he slowly raised his head.

Their gazes returned to Gu Xuan's handsome face, which carried a hint of coldness.

The guide's lips curled up slightly, revealing that seemingly kind smile again, and he said softly, "Benefactor Gu, don't be so fixated on appearances!"

“We have come here because we truly believe that you have an inextricable connection with our Western religion.”

"Therefore, I have come here specifically to discuss the profound principles of the Great Dao with Benefactor Gu, and to resolve any misunderstandings that may exist between you and my Western Religion."

"After all, it would be a shame if these misunderstandings led to unnecessary conflict and caused damage to both sides."

"Furthermore, I presume you, Benefactor Gu, would not wish to see your disciples encounter unnecessary troubles when they travel in the future?"

"......."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan's eyes narrowed sharply.

His eyes, which had been narrowed, now shot straight at the Guide Daoist like two beams of cold light.

"I can understand, you're threatening me?!"

“Mr. Gu, you’re being too attached to appearances. How could it be a threat? Don’t you agree?”

The guide, with a kind smile on his face, gently shook his head and said, "We, the Western Religion, simply wish to invite you to visit us."

"If we are truly destined to be together, who knows, we might become like-minded people in the future!"

Unexpectedly...

This time, this time, I faced the words of the Guide.

Gu Xuan, who was usually hot-tempered, surprisingly did not get angry.

He nodded slightly in agreement, replying, "Hmm, that makes some sense."

This was a sudden and unexpected scene.

This immediately stunned both Jieyin and Zhunti!

This made the Guide Daoist start to doubt himself.

How did my eloquence become so amazing?

Zhunti, on the other hand, was somewhat puzzled. Could it be that Gu Xuan had suddenly changed his ways... and had actually been persuaded by his senior brother?

Holy crap, is my senior that awesome?!

Not only the two of them, but even Qi Jingchun, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but widen her eyes!

With an incredulous look on his face, he looked at his master, Gu Xuan, who had suddenly changed his tune.

However, before everyone could recover from the shock...

Gu Xuan then spoke up, "So, you two intend to discuss the Dao with me?"

"Well……"

The guide was taken aback at first.

He quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly nodded with a smile, replying, "That's right, Benefactor Gu!"

Gu Xuan's unexpected change in attitude.

This made him think to himself – it seems this person might not be as stubborn and incorrigible as the rumors suggest.

......

Hearing the guide's affirmative words.

With a smile on his face, Gu Xuan asked calmly and gently, "Since that's the case, let's begin. How shall we discuss the Dao?"

Its sound was neither too loud nor too soft, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
