Seeing their grim expressions, Jiang Huai'an secretly rejoiced and grinned, praising Lingxiao Daoist: "The Abbot is wise."
Chu Yu also secretly gave Lingxiao Daoist a thumbs up.
Jiang Huai'an, realizing something, seized the opportunity to complain: "Master Lingxiao, Lan Jian just now slandered our work, especially looking down on my junior sister for delivering food."
Lan Jian replied disdainfully, "Jiang Huai'an, what are you complaining about? Your junior sister only became a food delivery person because she couldn't find a job. Everyone knows that food delivery is a lowly job. Am I wrong to say that she has disgraced us metaphysicians?"
Chu Yu's lips twitched. Who the hell is delivering food because they can't find a job?
She initially took a job delivering food because it was a quick way to make money and offered flexible hours. This was just one of her part-time jobs; she also had other jobs.
Just as she was about to retaliate with a cold face, Lingxiao Daoist's cell phone suddenly beeped.
[Beep! You have a new takeout order. The customer wants a bowl of spicy hot pot. Please deliver it as soon as possible.]
Everyone: "!!!"
Holy crap, even Lingxiao Daoist is delivering food?!
Lan Jian stared in astonishment, his mouth agape. After a long pause, he asked incredulously, "Master Lingxiao, what are you doing delivering food?"
As is widely known, Changfeng Temple boasts an excellent geographical location, a long history, beautiful scenery, thriving incense offerings, numerous treasures within the temple grounds, and a number of businesses, generating an annual income of up to one billion yuan, making it a truly large enterprise.
The abbot of the temple, Lingxiao Daoist, is actually delivering takeout?
Facing the surprised gazes of the crowd, Lingxiao Daoist calmly took out his phone from his pocket and said seriously, "Why can't I deliver food? Delivering food is flexible, has high benefits, good income, and can also exercise your muscles and see different scenery. It's a perfect job."
Hearing this, Lan Jian was speechless. When did food delivery workers get such good benefits?
He stammered, "Um, aren't delivery drivers supposed to be ineligible for jobs if they're over 60? You're over 70."
Lingxiao Daoist stroked his beard and said calmly, "There is no age limit for delivery in the underworld. Anyone can work as long as they are able to."
Blue Sword exclaimed in surprise: "What? Underworld takeout?"
Everyone was startled again.
Chu Yu was shocked. Lingxiao Daoist was actually employee number 02 of the Underworld Delivery Service!
Lingxiao Daoist proudly raised his head: "Recently, I had nothing to do, and I heard that the Underworld was recruiting deliverymen, so I applied. I didn't expect to be able to get the job and become the second employee of the Underworld Group."
The crowd erupted in chaos.
"I heard that the recruitment of deliverymen in the underworld is very strict, and many metaphysicians have failed to get the job. I didn't expect that the Abbot of Lingxiao Temple would actually get the job."
"With the abbot of Lingxiao Temple being so powerful, it's normal that he was able to get the job. I heard that there's a deliveryman named No. 01 in the Underworld's delivery business department. He's incredibly skilled. No matter how difficult the order is, he can complete it smoothly and receive positive reviews and praise from many sides."
"I've also heard of this deliveryman, number 01. He's extremely outstanding and was even praised by the King of Hell. He's a peerless master. I wonder who he is?"
...
As everyone discussed, they all turned to look at Daoist Lingxiao. One of them asked curiously, "Master Lingxiao, do you know who that deliveryman number 01 is?"
Lingxiao Daoist shook his head, looked into the distance with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said, "I've heard of this employee number 01. He's very capable. I was thinking of asking customer service to arrange for me to meet him, get to know him, and learn from him, but I didn't expect him to refuse."
Although I didn't get to meet him, which is a bit of a shame, I guess he must be a highly accomplished master, around my age, calm, reserved, and possessing profound Taoist skills.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huai'an couldn't help but chuckle.
He chuckled and whispered in Chu Yu's ear, "So you're a 70-year-old, calm, reserved, and highly skilled Taoist priest."
Chu Yu rolled her eyes at him.
She never expected that she would give Lingxiao Daoist this kind of impression. But why do all these people know about employee number 01?
She has always kept a low profile, so how did it become common knowledge?
Just then, her phone vibrated, and a notification sound came through: [Beep! You have a new takeout order. The customer wants a bowl of dumpling soup. Delivery address: No. 12, Huangquan Road. Please deliver as soon as possible.]
The noisy crowd fell silent instantly, and everyone turned to look at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu's lips twitched slightly. She had forgotten to turn off the speakerphone on her phone when she came back from delivering takeout.
Lingxiao Daoist quickly realized what was happening and looked at her with surprise: "You're delivering takeout to the Yellow Springs Road in the Underworld? Are you a takeout deliveryman in the Underworld?"
Seeing that his disguise had fallen off, Chu Yu had no choice but to nod and admit, "Yes! I am the No. 01 deliveryman of the Underworld."
With a whoosh, the scene erupted once again.
"Holy crap! Chu Yu is actually the infamous Underworld Deliveryman #01!!!"
"I thought the other person was an old Taoist priest in his seventies or eighties, but I didn't expect her to be so young."
"Didn't they say she couldn't find a job and was bad at her job, so she had no choice but to deliver food? Turns out the food she delivers is from the underworld. Tsk tsk, we were too shallow."
...
Amidst the gasps of amazement, Jiang Huai'an proudly raised his head and said to Lan Jian, who had just slandered Chu Yu, "Now you know, right? My junior sister isn't just any ordinary delivery person; she's the No. 1 delivery person in the Underworld. Do you know how prestigious a delivery person in the Underworld is?"
Lan Jian's face turned ashen, as if he had eaten shit. Even the other Tai Zhen Guan disciples who had been laughing at him earlier turned green with embarrassment.
Lingxiao Daoist's face darkened as he recalled Lan Jian's earlier disdain for Chu Yu being a food deliveryman, and he said sternly:
“Those who cultivate the Tao should have a tolerant heart. No profession is noble or lowly. As long as you are willing to work hard, you deserve respect. But you fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak, full of vanity. This goes against the original intention of us cultivators. In order to warn the other members of the association, I must punish you. From now on, all disciples of Taizhen Temple will be expelled from the association.”
Everyone was startled.
Lingxiao Daoist actually expelled them from the association.
Lan Jian and his fellow disciples were struck dumbfounded.
Being expelled from the association is equivalent to offending the entire metaphysical community. How will they survive in the underworld after that?
He pleaded urgently, "Master Lingxiao, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance."
The other disciples of Taizhen Temple also bowed and begged for mercy.
Lingxiao Daoist completely ignored their apologies and pleas for mercy, and said coldly, "I warned you half a year ago, but you did not correct your ways and even made things worse. If you are allowed to stay in the association, the association will definitely be in chaos, and other students will follow suit and become corrupt, which will cause endless trouble in the future."
Jiang Huai'an quickly spoke up: "Master Lingxiao, your decision is absolutely correct. Such black sheep should be expelled from the association immediately."
A-Jing nodded in agreement: "Brother Huai'an is right, we must not tolerate them."
Lan Jian glared at them angrily all night, and was about to argue when he saw Lingxiao Daoist forcefully wave his whisk and order: "Men, expel them. From now on, they shall not be allowed to set foot in Hongfeng Temple."
