Master Chen looked annoyed and disdainful. These old guys didn't even bother with formalities when they came to his place. They went straight to asking his junior master questions without any pleasantries.
Master Chen knew better than anyone what these people were up to—they were just trying to curry favor with their junior master, Little Fatty.
"Yes, yes, don't worry! Junior Uncle will stay for two more days!" Abbot Chen said proudly.
"That's good, that's good!"
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priests who had arrived breathed a sigh of relief; they were glad the priests had come just in time.
"By the way, Old Chen, did your junior uncle give you a talisman this morning? Come, come, let us see it!"
"Hey Lao Chen, you can't be so unfair! Show it to us right now!"
"Hurry up and take it out! Don't think we didn't see it on the way here! We want to see it!"
The three Taoist priests then reached out to Abbot Chen, asking for talismans.
Abbot Chen subconsciously took a step back, glaring warily at these old fogies. "What do you mean? These were all given to me by my junior uncle, not for you!"
"We just wanted to take a look!"
"That's right, we just want to see if Junior Uncle's talismans are really effective!"
"Hurry up, we just want to take a look, we're not going to rob you!"
"Old Chen, don't worry, we're just looking. Take it out and let us see!"
Faced with this attack from three old men, and with all those words spoken, what could Master Chen do? He could only show them what he had to do.
A group of old men couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they saw Tang Bao's talisman, never expecting that the rumors were actually true.
Tang Bao's talismans are truly powerful; the runes contain immense energy that even they couldn't create in a lifetime.
"Thank goodness we came!"
"Yes, it is my honor to be able to see Junior Uncle's talismans!"
"Truly worthy of being a peace charm drawn by Junior Uncle, so amazing!"
All the abbots were incredibly excited and eager to see Tang Bao, and even more eager to hug Tang Bao's chubby little legs.
"Old Chen, hurry up and take us to see Junior Uncle!"
"That's right, that's right! You can't keep it all to yourself! Quickly take us to pay our respects to Junior Uncle!"
"We are all members of the Taoist sect, and we are all juniors, so we must pay our respects to our elders!"
Master Chen's lips twitched. These people were speaking with such confidence that anyone who didn't know better would think Tang Bao was an elderly person!
"Okay, okay! I'll talk to the production team!"
Although Abbot Chen had agreed, the other abbots still complained a lot.
"You haven't said it yet!"
"We told you we were coming a long time ago, you should have told the production team earlier!"
"Yeah, Old Chen, is this your way of treating us?"
Master Chen's lips twitched slightly. Did they think he wanted them to come? He hadn't agreed to it yet!
Unfortunately, some people showed up uninvited, and he couldn't stop them! After all, guests are guests!
However, Abbot Chen was not one to be trifled with. He looked helpless and said, "I've been busy serving my junior uncle, so I haven't had much time or opportunity. I even asked for leave to come and pick you up. I dare not neglect my junior uncle; I have to be available whenever you call!"
The abbots of the other Taoist temples twitched slightly at the corners of their mouths; they were speechless.
Compared to welcoming and entertaining them, serving Junior Uncle is the most important thing.
"Yes, Old Chen is right, we must take good care of Junior Uncle!"
"Junior Uncle is more important than us! We can take it slow!"
“Serving Junior Uncle is of utmost importance. Abbot Chen, please take us with you. We can serve him too!”
They couldn't presumptuously claim that entertaining them was important; otherwise, if their junior uncle found out, they would end up getting into trouble instead of getting a chance to curry favor with the chubby boy.
"Let's all come together!"
Master Chen turned around, secretly sneering to himself, "A bunch of shameless old bastards, scrambling to serve people like this!"
However, Master Chen knew that if he were in their shoes, he would be just like them, but he simply wouldn't admit it.
Master Chen first led these Taoist priests to meet the program director and explained their purpose. Director Zhang naturally agreed, but also hoped that they would not interfere with their filming, as all of their scenes might be captured on camera.
Since these Taoist priests had come prepared, they naturally wouldn't disagree.
While everyone was resting, Abbot Chen brought his people over.
Director Sheng and the others looked at the three Taoist priests in robes brought by Abbot Chen with great curiosity, and whispered among themselves.
Who are they?
"They look like Taoist priests from a Taoist temple!"
"These Taoist priests look so imposing!"
"What are they doing here? Are they here to participate in the show too?"
Under everyone's curious gaze, Abbot Chen smiled and led the Taoist priests over to introduce them to everyone.
Master Chen stepped forward and said, “Distinguished guests, I am truly sorry to have disturbed you! My fellow Daoists have heard that Junior Uncle has come to my Tiangang Temple, so they all wish to pay him a personal visit!”
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening and turned to look at Chu Yilin and Tang Bao in surprise.
So all these abbots came for Tang Bao!
Chu Yilin was also completely bewildered, and asked Tang Bao curiously, "Tang Bao, all these people are here to see you! Do you know them?"
Tang Bao, whose name was called, tilted her little head, tapped her chin with her chubby little finger, and blinked her clear, bright eyes at the three Taoist priests behind Abbot Chen.
Tangbao tried hard to remember if she had seen these people before, then shook her little head. "I don't know them! Tangbao doesn't know them!"
"Junior Uncle, you may not recognize us, but we recognize you!"
"Yes, we are your juniors. We were not qualified to know you before, so you certainly didn't know us!"
"We came here specifically to serve our junior uncle!"
The three Taoist priests spoke to Tang Bao with great respect, their smiles not of kindness, but of obsequious flattery.
Director Sheng and others, "..."
Not to mention Director Sheng and his team, even Director Zhang and the other staff members of the production crew were all dumbfounded and shocked as they looked at the three Taoist priests.
They never expected that these people were there to "serve" Tang Bao.
Tangbao blinked her adorable big eyes in confusion, "Why? Tangbao doesn't need you to serve her! Tangbao is all grown up now and can take care of herself!"
While at Xuanqing Temple, Tangbao was very independent, and by the time she was a little over one year old, she was already able to take care of herself.
Although her senior brothers all wanted to help her, they all agreed with her, but they would still take care of her from time to time. It was only because they couldn't help but want to spoil Tang Bao that they took care of her.
