Although it only flashed by for a moment, Tang Nian was certain that there was something in the temple that could generate spiritual energy.

Tang Nian couldn't wait to enter the temple to investigate the fluctuation.

Just as Tang Nian arrived at the temple entrance and was about to enter, she was stopped by the crowd queuing up.

"Hey, little girl, don't cut in line!"

The older woman drew out her shrill voice, which alerted the other people around her, who began pointing and whispering about Tang Nian.

"Exactly, who comes to the temple without some health problem? If you cut in line like this, then no one will bother to wait in line."

"I don't think you're missing any limbs, so how did you end up cutting in line? Tsk!"

...

These middle-aged women and aunties chatted away, as if they had completely rejected Tang Nian.

Coupled with the annoying sighs and groans that swarmed around the door like flies, it immediately made people irritable and restless.

"Get out of the way!"

Tang Nian said coldly, her icy gaze sweeping over the group of troublemakers blocking the doorway.

However, Tang Nian's usual cool and noble demeanor was of no use here.

"Ouch!"

A plump young woman carrying a baby in her arms stepped out from the group and pointed a finger at Tang Nian's nose, starting to speak sarcastically.

"Look at me, oh my, I'm with a child! And look at you, you look so energetic, how come you're thinking of cutting in line for people like me?"

Because her voice was so loud, the sleeping child was awakened and started wailing.

"Look, look! You've woken the child up! You have no manners at all!"

Seeing that the group's words were getting increasingly offensive, and that the woman was still trying to fan the flames, Tang Nian felt a surge of anger welling up inside her.

But she always kept in mind God's instructions.

She recalled the way those women cursed in the street and tried to curse back.

I felt incredibly happy.

The woman holding the child was shocked, seemingly not expecting that someone dressed so elegantly would scold her like that.

"What did you say? How could you say such a thing!"

"So what if I said it?"

Tang Nian didn't hold back either, stretching her neck and putting her hands on her hips like a woman, striking the standard pose for a quarrel.

"You, a dignified old woman, not only woke up the child yourself, but also want to falsely accuse a young girl like me?"

"Doesn't your conscience hurt? Or do you simply have no conscience at all?"

It's just swearing, anyone can do that.

Although Tang Nian has always been reluctant to do such things, she knew that if she didn't resort to violence, these people in front of her would never learn their lesson.

What was originally just a matter of offering advice has been twisted into a completely wicked person by these people.

If she really did something heinous, Tang Nian wouldn't care at all.

But now, she doesn't want to indulge them.

She mimicked the woman's tone so well that the woman was quite angry, and even the finger she pointed at Tang Nian began to tremble.

"You, you!"

"What do you mean, 'I'? You can't speak properly? If you can't speak properly, go back to your mother's womb and be reborn!"

The woman stomped her foot suddenly, almost throwing the child in her arms out of her arms.

"I'm so angry!"

He then handed the child to the old woman behind him, preparing to roll up his sleeves and get up to fight Tang Nian.

Are you sure you want to fight me?

Tang Nian looked at the mortal she could kill with a single finger and licked her lips.

The old woman, thinking Tang Nian was scared, was feeling smug when a female voice came from inside the temple.

"quiet!"

Even when scolded loudly, the voice remained so gentle.

Even just hearing that voice makes one imagine the unparalleled beauty of its owner.

Of course, there's also her broad-mindedness.

Why do I feel this way?

"It's the High Priest!"

The surrounding people all bowed down and paid their respects to the priest who appeared at the door, even the woman who was about to start a fight did so.

Tang Nian, however, showed no sign of anything amiss. She stood upright outside the line and began to leisurely scrutinize the priest.

The priest was dressed in white, with a gold-embroidered crown and hairpin on his head, and his face was veiled in blue gauze. He seemed to radiate a pure and holy light.

They were dressed quite well, looking quite like those immortals from Kunlun.

However, it seems that he doesn't possess any spiritual energy.

"You are the priest?"

Tang Nian's tone softened slightly. She was never an unreasonable person. If these people in front of her hadn't been so unreasonable, things wouldn't have escalated to that point.

She only showed up after everyone had been arguing at the door for so long; she was clearly waiting for them.

The priestess nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips beneath her veil, and waved her hand.

"Please be patient, everyone. I'm sure this young lady didn't mean to cut in line."

"The High Priest is truly magnanimous!"

"That's right, we won't hold it against you, High Priest!"

...

The people echoed the priest's sentiments, clearly indicating that the priest held immense prestige among the crowd.

However, isn't it a bit excessive to use her to establish authority?

Tang Nian snorted coldly.

She had no intention of indulging this woman in front of her.

He slowly walked to the priest's side, but in the next moment, he suddenly reached out and struck the priest's chest.

The priest reacted very quickly, dodging to the side just as Tang Nian's hand was about to touch her.

Tang Nian was not surprised at all. She calmly withdrew her hand and tucked it back into her sleeve.

Tsk, I'll definitely remember to bring a hot water bottle next time I go out.

The priest's pupils contracted slightly, and his gaze toward Tang Nian became more scrutinizing.

But she concealed it well, and said with a soft laugh, "So it's Master Tang. Your presence in my humble temple is truly an honor."

This time, the crowd didn't rush up to Tang Nian to provoke her; instead, they whispered among themselves.

"You know me?"

Tang Nian's smile carried a hint of sarcasm.

"I have naturally heard of the famous Celestial Master Tang of the Great Chu."

"I just didn't expect that I heard that Master Tang had come here yesterday, and that he would find my temple today. I was too blind to recognize him. I hope Master Tang will forgive me."

Having said all that, even if Tang Nian didn't believe her, she wouldn't break off relations with her; she would just offer some flattery and let it go.

She just kept one more suspicion in her mind.

She didn't believe that the priest would recognize her the moment she made a move.

After all, she never had any fixed moves and always acted according to her own preferences.

Could it be that she has a master mentoring her?

"Fellow villagers! This is Master Tang, who has come to help us with this heavy snow!"

After the priest finished speaking, he reached out his hand to Tang Nian, intending to lead her inside.

"Why don't you come into the temple and sit down, Master Tang?"

"good."

Tang Nian naturally didn't object and followed them inside.

Of course, she didn't forget to look back the moment she entered the temple.

The woman's face turned a deep red, but the priest stood by and did not do anything.

The common people, meanwhile, all kept their heads down and avoided looking at her, but instead whispered amongst themselves.
