Chapter 300: Master Sanqing
Zhong Nianyao's questions made the people of the Zhu family feel a little panic in their hearts.
Originally, they didn't think there was anything wrong, but the more they listened to Zhong Nianyao's words, the more they felt that it was really like this. For a moment, they didn't know whether what Zhong Nianyao said was true or not.
"I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense here." Zhu Yu stepped forward and knocked the ground hard with his crutch. "This is the Zhu family, not Tongtian Bridge. It's not your turn to talk here. Get out of here right now, or I'll call the police."
"You're almost losing your life, yet you're still trying to show off your power here." Zhong Nianyao sneered and mocked, "It's because you found someone to suppress the five ghosts that your Zhu family and them are now in a state of no return."
"First, you cut off their reincarnation path, and now you've sent people to beat them to pieces. Even clay figures have tempers, let alone ghosts! Originally, if you had only given up all your wealth, perhaps you could have saved your descendants. Now, these five ghosts are trying to wipe out your entire Zhu family."
After hearing these words, everyone in the Zhu family looked extremely ugly. However, they all looked at Zhong Nianyao angrily, thinking that Zhong Nianyao was cursing them.
"This is our Zhu family's business, and it has nothing to do with you." Zhu Yu pointed directly at the door and said sternly, "Even if all the people in our Zhu family are dead, it has nothing to do with you. Get out of here right now."
The other members of the Zhu family obviously thought the same.
Compared to the young Zhong Nianyao, they believed more in the highly respected Master Sanqing. Now every word and sentence of Zhong Nianyao was a curse on the Zhu family, and it was already very good that they didn't chase her away with a broom.
"I don't care about the life or death of your Zhu family." Zhong Nianyao said coldly, "It's just that I can't let those five ghosts become evil spirits and hurt innocent people."
Zhu Yu was about to say something when he saw Butler Wang coming in with his men.
He hurried forward and came to the man in Taoist robes and said respectfully, "Master Sanqing, you are here."
Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao also turned their heads at the same time and looked at the person who came.
The man who arrived was a man in his fifties, wearing a yellow Taoist robe. His hair had already turned gray, and he had a long, graying beard. He looked like an immortal. Furthermore, it was clear that this man was no mere showman, but rather someone with some real strength. A faint aura of righteousness lingered around him.
Master Sanqing originally came here today to help get rid of the five ghosts, but he didn't expect that after entering the Zhu family, he saw Lu Yichen and Zhong Nian Yao.
After seeing the two, Master Sanqing suddenly became solemn. He ignored Zhu Yu's relatives and stepped forward to bow respectfully to Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao. "Hello, seniors. It's our first meeting. Junior Sanqing greets you two."
He was a cultivator, so he could naturally tell that Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao were far superior to him. Lu Yichen, in particular, was completely invisible to him, and he could only vaguely see a lingering purple aura.
Master Sanqing's attitude made Zhu Yu feel a little uneasy. He trembled and said, "Master Sanqing, what do you mean by this? How can you call these two little brats 'seniors'?"
At this moment, he felt like he had been slapped in the face. Just a moment ago, he was still speaking out and praising Master Sanqing. Now, in the blink of an eye, Master Sanqing was calling himself a junior to these two people. Wasn't this a slap in the face?
Master Sanqing was completely unaware of what had just happened. He began to explain, "Old Master Zhu, you don't know that in the eyes of us cultivators, age doesn't exist. The Dao is profound, and those who achieve it are respected. Although these two elders may appear young, their cultivation is far superior to mine."
After he finished speaking, there was still a trace of shame on his face, "If I had known about the existence of these two seniors, I would not have come here to show off today."
Zhu Yu's face turned blue and purple, and his body began to tremble. It was unclear whether it was because of fear or guilt.
As for the other members of the Zhu family, they were already confused after seeing the attitude of the Three Pure Ones. Now, after hearing the words of the Three Pure Ones, their faces could not help but turn pale, and cold sweats began to appear on their backs.
Because they remembered what Zhong Nianyao had just said, especially the one about cutting off the lineage and grandchildren. Now it sounded less like a curse and more like a foreshadowing.
Zhong Nianyao looked at the Three Pure Ones Master, frowned, and then asked, "Were you the one who suppressed those five ghosts for them yesterday?"
She had never imagined that the Master Sanqing mentioned by Zhu Yu was actually such a person.
She had originally thought that he was a man of some ability, but who liked to cheat and deceive others, so he did this. However, after seeing the attitude of Master Sanqing, she knew that he was not that kind of person.
Now she was really curious about what kind of thinking the Master Sanqing had in mind when he decided to suppress the Five Ghosts for the Zhu family!
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's question, Master Sanqing didn't dare to hide anything and replied respectfully, "Yes, Senior, these five ghosts have been eroding the Zhu family's fortune every day. If they hadn't been suppressed this morning, I'm afraid the Zhu family would be in great danger. However, my ability is limited. After suppressing them yesterday, I no longer have the strength to eliminate them. That's why I agreed to come today."
Seeing someone so much older than herself being so respectful to her, Zhong Nianyao didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She asked again, "Why did you choose to help the Zhu family?"
Master Sanqing did not hide anything and directly stated the reason, "The Zhu family has a magical instrument that I have always wanted. Mr. Zhu promised to give it to me after the matter is completed."
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Actually, that magical instrument was originally the treasure of our Xuanqing Temple. It was stolen by scoundrels more than ten years later, and the Zhu family obtained it a few years ago. I must get this treasure back."
He didn't care about the money the Zhu family offered him. What he cared about was the treasure. It was the treasure his master had given him when he passed on the position of abbot. Losing the treasure was already a shame to his master, and now that he had the chance to get it back, how could he give it up?
