However, it is now clear that the visitor is not friendly.
Regardless of which deity they are, they are all plague gods and enemies of Qingfeng Temple.
Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, the steward quickly led his men to the front yard.
In the front yard, the peasant army moved very fast, and the thugs were knocked to the ground before they could react.
When the manager arrived with his men, more than a dozen people had already been injured. He was immediately filled with anxiety and anger.
These people were his loyal followers and his reliance, yet so many of them had perished here. In an instant, his gaze towards the crowd was filled with murderous intent.
However, thinking of the distinguished guests in the room, he took a deep breath and softened his tone, "Gentlemen, this is a Taoist sanctuary, and we cannot tolerate such insolence."
“Where did all these thugs come from in this Taoist sanctuary?” Chief Jiang scanned the steward from head to toe. “Which Taoist master isn’t ethereal and detached, how could they be as strong and muscular as you?”
How could someone who has been a vegetarian for years have such a blood-red face?
Chief Jiang has already decided that Qingfeng Temple is not a good place. He finds no matter how he looks at the person in charge, and he finds everything about Qingfeng Temple strange!
In short: I wish I could get rid of them as soon as possible.
“That’s right, you fake Taoist priest,” the Ji clan chief chimed in. “Other Taoist priests can predict the future, but you didn’t even anticipate us coming to your door. You still want to talk nonsense with us? Do you think we’re easy to fool?”
Manager: Greet your mother!
If I were that capable, why would I be holed up in Qingfeng Temple, putting up with all this nonsense? I would have rebelled and become emperor long ago.
Jiang Nuan hadn't anticipated their unusual ideas, but she was happy to see them come to fruition.
He cleared his throat and continued, "Stop wasting time talking to him, just do it."
This person looks quite cunning. He's probably stalling for time to redeploy his forces, aiming for a quick victory. Once he's beaten them down, he can say these things anytime, anywhere.
Upon hearing this, the steward's expression changed drastically. "Gentlemen, Qingfeng Temple has always been kind to people and has never offended you. Why are you being so aggressive?"
The incident happened suddenly, in the middle of the night, and with a powerful figure watching him intently, he only brought fifty-odd people with him in a moment of panic, leaving the rest to be arranged by Li Sheng.
The problem is, it takes time!
Qingfeng Temple is, after all, a Taoist temple, and it still needs to be discreet. The other half is in the village, and it takes some time to get there and back.
If we just stall for a little while, a few words, we can wait for the person.
"Stop wasting words with him, just attack!"
After Jiang Nuan finished speaking, everyone rushed forward like a volleyball.
With a numerical advantage and high morale, the peasant army almost pushed them back to their backyard.
Jiang Nuan's performance, in particular, surprised even herself.
With increased strength, sharp hearing and eyesight, and agile body, he can not only defeat enemies but also save others from time to time.
In addition, Huang Xiaosi and Huang Xiaopang, being too young to be in front, continued to stab people from behind, even after they had passed out. Their hands remained steady and their feet remained strong as they continued to stab them.
Jiang Nuan initially didn't want them to get involved, but in the end she let go. It's good for them to see more of the world, so they won't be unable to bring themselves to harm bad people in the future.
However, the two children's behavior made her feel that her thoughts were completely unnecessary; these two kids were wicked!
"Damn it, why is that bastard Li Sheng so slow?" the steward said anxiously.
If his home had been overthrown by a bunch of peasants, even if he survived today, he would have no face to show his face.
He was very puzzled. How could such a strange thing happen? A bunch of peasants, persuaded by a few words from others, actually broke in in the middle of the night.
If the people were so easily fooled, he wouldn't have dared to do such clandestine things all these years. Wouldn't it have been better to preach openly and honestly?
In the backyard, hearing the increasingly loud commotion, Wu Yuan's face darkened visibly. "Useless!"
After saying that, he turned to Qin and said, "Pack your things, I'm going out to check, hide yourself."
After saying that, he covered his face completely before daring to go out.
What he was doing was extremely dangerous; he couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake, and he couldn't let anyone see his face.
After walking for a while, seeing the crowd retreating step by step, with only a few people left still struggling to hold on, he snorted coldly and turned away without hesitation.
Back in the room, Madam Qin was still packing her things. Upon seeing him, she was immediately surprised, "Master Yuan, you're all done already?"
"That good-for-nothing Wei Yan actually got his own territory attacked. He's utterly useless. Quickly pack your things, let's leave."
"Leave?" Qin asked cautiously, "Abandon Qingfeng Temple?"
"I don't care what Qingfeng Temple is. They've delayed my important business. Even if they manage to escape today, I'll make sure they die a horrible death."
"Hmm, alright," Madam Qin quickened her pace, and after securing her bundle, tentatively asked, "May I bring two people with me?"
“No,” Wu Yuan glanced at her indifferently, then said, “If you want to find someone to serve you, once you find a place to stay, I’ll pick out two good ones for you. Forget about this place; it’s full of useless people.”
"Thank you, young master," Qin said with a sweet smile.
After stepping out of the room, he suddenly stopped and asked hesitantly, "Won't the manager betray us?"
"Don't worry, I won't give him that chance. Don't think too much about it, just take care of yourself."
After saying that, he quickly led his men out through the tunnel that had been prepared beforehand.
Halfway there, they encountered Li Sheng, who was rushing over with his men.
"Greetings, Young Master!" Everyone knelt down on one knee in unison.
"You're going to provide reinforcements?" Wu Yuan's voice was devoid of any emotion.
"Young Master, the steward has instructed me to go there as soon as possible."
He had already used the fastest speed, but it would take time to return to the source, and he also needed to integrate personnel and distribute weapons, so it was still a bit of a delay.
"No need to go, just come with me and don't worry about Qingfeng Temple anymore."
"What about Qingfeng Temple?" Li Sheng asked, puzzled. "What about the person in charge?"
"What, are you questioning my orders?" Wu Yuan looked at Li Sheng with eyes as cold as a dead man's.
Upon hearing this, Li Sheng quickly lowered his head, his forehead covered in a fine layer of sweat. Suppressing his fear, he hurriedly explained, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, I'll clear the way for you, young master."
Upon seeing this, Madam Qin's eyes darted around.
She had always known that the man in front of her was of high status, otherwise the steward wouldn't have been so wary of him.
Now he realized that he was wrong. This person's status was higher than he had imagined. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to scare Li Sheng, that cowardly bully, so much with just a glance.
"Alright, get up. I'll spare your life this time, but there won't be a next time."
After saying this, he hurried forward.
Seeing this, Madam Qin quickly grabbed her bundle and jogged after them.
She saw a path that belonged to her.
As long as she keeps walking along this path, even if it's full of thorns, gravel, and even sharp knives, and her feet are covered in blisters and she's covered in wounds, one day she will be able to control her own destiny.
Reluctantly turning her head back, a mist of tears welled up in her eyes. After a moment, she lowered her eyes and quickened her pace to leave.
