"Huh? What are you doing?"
Seeing Huang Yi and the others rushing forward with weapons in their hands, Su Lin frowned and sneered, "Is this how you behave when you have distinguished guests? What have I been teaching you all this time?!"
This rebuke was a gesture of respect to the Tian Shu cultivators.
Huang Yi immediately snapped to attention and quickly ordered everyone to line up on the left and right, standing ramrod straight with their weapons at their sides and eyes fixed on the enemy. He then led the way by shouting, "A warm welcome to the esteemed Tian Shu for his guidance!"
The remaining survivors, all shrewd enough, joined in, shouting in unison, "A warm welcome! Your guidance is truly appreciated!"
The cultivators from Tian Shu didn't quite understand these words, but judging from the aura and demeanor, they could tell that this was a welcome to them.
"Look, the cultivators in this area are quite sensible!"
Jia Zhengyi smiled and pointed at the old man beside him: "He's not as troublesome as you say. I just think it's absurd that we Tian Shu cultivators could be villains in other people's eyes."
The old man looked intently at the survivors on both sides, then cupped his hands to Jia Zhengyi: "The young sect leader has an extraordinary temperament that inspires admiration. He deserves such treatment, which we cannot match."
Su Lin understood that the Tian Shu cultivators knew how they were treated outside, and how most cultivators and small sects viewed them.
But they are powerful and don't care about these things.
At this moment, they were merely surprised by the self-awareness of Xiaoyun Temple. Although it was not common, some sects would do such a thing and give face to the Tian Shu cultivators.
"Haha, not bad, not bad!"
Jia Zhengyi laughed heartily, nodded in satisfaction, and climbed the mountain with Su Lin through the crowd.
The survivors stared intently at the Tian Shu cultivators, most of their gazes fixed on Jia Zhengyi, and many survivors showed expressions of horror in their eyes.
Clearly, they recognized Jia Zhengyi!
As a top-ranked player, Su Lin has long been the focus of attention. Jia Zhengyi is Su Lin's second follower, and his appearance and other information have already been made public in the waiting area.
Putting everything else aside, at least some of the survivors in the first zone knew Jia Zhengyi, and they had seen him standing next to Su Lin many times.
"This isn't...this isn't Su Shen..."
One of the survivors muttered something, but before he could finish, Huang Yi glared at him, telling him not to say anything out of line.
Most of the survivors here are quite clever; they quickly shut up, but the shock they felt remained.
That's outrageous!
How long has it been since the start of the season? Only a little over a month!
In such a difficult and lengthy match, Su Shen's follower became a Tian Shu cultivator? And judging from his status... it's not low at all!
That's outrageous! Most survivors don't even have such a well-thought-out starting role. How could Su Shen have such a far-reaching plan right from the start?
No wonder, that's why they've been able to stay at the top of the leaderboard and remain unchallenged.
Everyone has learned a lot. Through Jia Zhengyi's appearance, they have gained a deep understanding of Su Lin's terrifying background and amazing methods.
No further explanation is needed, nor are too many clues necessary. For intelligent people, Jia Zhengyi standing here is enough to explain many things, and enough to make some hesitant survivors truly decide to follow Su Lin.
Under the respectful gaze of countless eyes, the group quickly ascended to the mountain gate. Jia Zhengyi crossed the gate and entered the main hall, pretending to look around.
"A solitary peak arches over the moonlit terrace, and myriad valleys conceal the true realm. What a fine place! It truly deserves to be the place of Abbot Su's secluded cultivation."
"I never expected such a small place to be home to such a great talent. If I didn't have such an important position, I would love to stay here for a few days and enjoy the view."
Jia Zhengyi sighed with regret, never expecting that this unreliable kid could actually deliver some lines when he started acting, without losing face.
Xiao Linlin chimed in with a grin, "If the distinguished guest likes it, he can stay for a few days as he pleases. My abbot certainly won't mind."
"really?"
Jia Zhengyi looked at Su Lin with feigned surprise, and Su Lin nodded: "If the important person likes it, then treat it as your own home."
"That would be good."
Jia Zhengyi turned around and waved to the Tian Shu cultivators: "You may all leave now. I will stay at Xiaoyun Temple for a few days to discuss the Dharma with Abbot Su."
"Young Sect Master... I'm afraid he's not very safe, is he?"
The old man frowned, cupped his hands in a gesture of advice, but saw Jia Zhengyi glaring at him: "What! You don't trust my judgment of people? Someone like Abbot Su is the cornerstone of our Tian Shu! As the Inspector, how can I be wary of my own people?"
Is this to say that the young sect leader is naive and innocent, or that he truly has a discerning eye?
The cultivators of Tian Shu looked at each other, not daring to disobey. They could only nod and leave, gathering at the foot of the mountain gate to wait, not daring to go too far.
Jia Zhengyi could only wait until the group had gone far away. Just as he was about to relax and return to normal, Su Lin warned him in their telepathic communication: "That's a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if my divine sense covers you, I might not be able to detect it. Keep playing your part."
"Okay, boss, this job is really tiring."
Helpless, Jia Zhengyi could only continue to play the role as usual, traveling with Su Lin inside and outside Xiaoyun Temple.
Of course, true conversations should primarily focus on communication of the heart and soul.
Through their heart-to-heart talk, Su Lin basically confirmed and understood Jia Zhengyi's undercover work and current situation.
From joining the Immortal Sect to being sent down here, the events seemed inconspicuous, but behind the scenes, they were all part of a detailed plan remotely controlled by Xiao Linlin.
During this time, Xiao Linlin also joined the conversation, giving Su Lin a more detailed introduction to the key steps of the next few steps: using the territory of Xiaoyun Temple as the site of Jia Zhengyi's achievements, using Jia Zhengyi as a cover and protective umbrella, and at the same time, Xiaoyun Temple also needs to earn more capital for Jia Zhengyi's promotion.
