"Are the people from Mujia Village really so bold as to attack Zihe?" a slightly plump old priest asked in surprise. His name was Wen Rongsong, and he was the Left Priest of Fengcheng Temple, second only to the Chief Priest.
"How could I possibly lie about something so shameful? It's all my fault for being so careless. We didn't anticipate the other party's audacity. We were caught off guard and attacked by them with martial arts techniques, leaving us seriously injured." Another old priest sighed, a hint of anger etched in his voice. He was Kang Qingyuan, patriarch of the Kang family.
"How dare they! How dare they! Just a bunch of untouchables actually hurt the priest of my temple, Priest Kang. Are you just going to let them go like this?" Wen Rongsong said, slamming the table heavily.
As priests of Fengcheng Temple, they naturally share the same hatred and enemy. Besides, no matter how low Kang Zihe's status is, he is still a priest of their Fengcheng Temple. Isn't this a slap in the face of Fengcheng Temple and also a slap in the face of him?
As for the fact that Kang Zihe was injured by the so-called untouchables, he did not find it strange. After all, Kang Zihe was only a first-level divine priest. If the other party had practiced martial arts well and attacked him by surprise, it was not impossible for him to be injured.
"Of course I don't want to let them go like this, but Lord Zuo Ji, don't forget that Mujia Village also has a guardian priest Mu Yian, so it's not convenient for me to take action." Kang Qingyuan said with a helpless look on his face.
"Mu Yian...who is it?" Wen Rongsong repeated the name, but he had no impression of it and asked in confusion.
"It seems that he is the guardian priest who has lived for thousands of years but is still only a ninth-level divine priest." Another old priest said after thinking carefully.
His name is Liang Gubai, and he is the right priest of Fengcheng Temple. He and Wen Rongsong are on the left and right of the chief priest, and are equivalent to the left and right arms of the chief priest. Most of the daily temple affairs are handled by the two of them. The chief priest rarely shows up, and this priest assessment is no exception.
He and Wen Rongsong became priests at the same time hundreds of years ago, and later became the left and right priests respectively. In addition, the two characters "pine" and "cypress" in their names were also a sign of fate, so they have a very good relationship.
"So it's him, that old useless bastard. I remember him now." Wen Rongsong finally remembered who Kang Qingyuan was talking about.
"Although Mu Yian's strength has not improved much, and he is now old and frail, I am afraid he is even worse than before, but he has lived to such an old age after all. I can't turn against him, so I can only bear with it for the time being." Kang Qingyuan sighed.
Wen Rongsong and Liang Gubai fell silent. While the Divine Continent, like the Holy Court Continent, respected the strongest as its eternal principle, it also had its own moral etiquette, and priests also had their own honor and dignity. Even if they ignored Mu Yian's age and seniority, it would be ridiculous for them to embarrass an old priest who was already half buried.
"Forget it, just be patient for a few days. Anyway, the old man has lived to such an old age, and his strength has not improved much. He will definitely not live for many more days. Once he dies, we can slowly deal with these lowly people." Liang Gubai said.
"Although that old guy won't live for many days, I heard that the Mu family has a new descendant with good qualifications. If she becomes a priestess, I'm afraid this revenge will not be avenged." Kang Qingyuan shook his head and said with a frustrated look on his face.
"It's unlikely. It's a blessing from God that a clan of untouchables like that can produce a priest in thousands of years. How is it possible for them to produce another one?" Wen Rongsong said disapprovingly.
"I also heard it from Zihe. It is said that the person who injured him was a girl named Mu Hanyan." Kang Qingyuan said.
"Hahahaha, little girl, you can injure Zihe with martial arts, and you have the qualifications to become a priest, how is this possible?" Wen Rongsong laughed.
There are not many female priests in the Continent of Gods, and most of them have average qualifications and strength. As a woman, if she really has the qualifications to become a priest, she will definitely use all her time and resources to improve her divine consciousness. Why would she waste her energy practicing martial arts? Isn't that missing the point?
The Mu family must have injured Kang Zihe, and they feared retaliation from the Kang family, and even more so, investigation from the Temple, so they deliberately spread this rumor. After all, Mu Yian was too old, and they weren't sure if the Kang family and the Temple would give him face, so they had to give themselves some luster and find some support. Kang Qingyuan was also a smart man who was foolish at the time, actually believing such nonsense.
"I don't quite believe it either, but according to Zihe, Mu Yian once said in person that he would bring her to Fengcheng Temple to take the test. I think he is so old and he would not talk nonsense." Kang Qingyuan said.
"Forget it, we don't need to think too much about this. If they really want to come, we can just go back. Even if the descendant of the Mu family really has some talent, it's useless for him to practice any martial arts. He just wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the temple recruiting priests to try his luck." Wen Rongsong snorted coldly and said disapprovingly.
"The priest assessment is not something you can just come and go as you please. If that were the case, those young people who failed the assessment before wouldn't have ended up like that." Liang Gusong suddenly said.
Kang Qingyuan and Wen Rongsong looked at him at the same time. Having worked together in the temple for so many years, they certainly knew what Liang Gusong meant.
Obviously, Liang Gusong didn't want Mu Hanyan to leave Tianfeng City safely. He wanted to take this assessment opportunity to avenge Kang Zihe.
Kang Qingyuan looked at Liang Gusong with gratitude. This was exactly the result he wanted, but he just couldn't say it out loud.
Wen Rongsong didn't say much. Mu Hanyan had injured Kang Zihe, which was a slap in the face of the temple and all the priests. It was natural to let her pay the price. How could he take the life and death of a pariah seriously?
Not far away, a young priest sighed secretly.
In the Continent of Gods, the status difference between priests and ordinary civilians was enormous. As for the civilians like the Mu family, who had wandered around and finally found a place to live, their status was naturally even lower. Therefore, Kang Qingyuan and the others didn't avoid him when they spoke. He certainly understood the meaning of Liang Gusong's last words.
"Alas, I don't know if that Mu Hanyan has lost his mind. He even dared to hit a priest. He is in big trouble now." The young priest thought with pity.
But he is now worried and anxious. Although he feels pity, he can't care about other people's life or death.
…
"The ninth-rank priest, Mu Yian, the guardian priest of the Mu clan of Mujia Village, has come with his clan members Mu Hanyan and Ling Baobao to participate in the priest assessment." An old voice was heard from outside.
