When Jiang Sheng met those burning gazes, he inexplicably felt a chill on his back. He wondered if these people had misunderstood him. However, this misunderstanding didn't seem to do him any harm.
If he entered the temple directly as one of his own, he would be able to find out more information. He just thought about it and immediately made up his mind.
There was a fish jumping on the deck, and the fish's tail slapped the wooden board, making a sound. Everyone looked over and Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up.
Changing the subject: "Sir, what should we do with these fish and shrimp?"
Youming smiled and said, "Just throw it away. These things are very unpalatable. They are just shells with little meat. Number Six, you will be a Venerable in the future, unlike those nameless Younus."
"You Nian is your name, and Nian Zun Zhe is your honorific title. Come into the cabin and have a meal and a drink with us."
"Bing, Nian saved your life, why don't you have a drink?"
The Ice Venerable came over with a cold face, bowed and said coldly: "Thank you for what you did just now. If it weren't for you, I would have been sucked into the whirlpool and died."
Even if they are venerable, they are still mortals after all. They can be injured and die. Once they are caught in the vortex, there is no possibility of survival.
Jiang Sheng waved his hands repeatedly, pretending to be flattered: "Your Excellency is too polite. I, I just subconsciously wanted to stay away from you, but I didn't expect it to actually work."
Bing raised her head and looked at him steadily, saying seriously, "You didn't feel anything when you awakened. That's indeed different from us. You are worthy of being a telekinetic master. You are much more powerful than Elder Kong of the Temple."
"He is also a telekinetic, but he boasts that he will be able to use the power of space in the future, so he gave himself an empty honorific title. When you return, you can take his place."
The others echoed, their words filled with disgust towards Elder Kong.
Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows, curiosity flashing in his eyes. Who on earth could make so many people hate him by himself? If he went to take his place, wouldn't he become an elder?
Good...very good!
The group walked towards the cabin. Jiang Sheng glanced at the fish and shrimp on the deck and shouted, "Number Four, bring all the fish and shrimp into the kitchen. I want to make some food."
Number Four pursed his lips tightly under his face mask, his eyes filled with jealousy. Why was this fool so lucky? Why wasn't he the one who awakened?
Damn it, he couldn't resist. If the Venerable wanted You Nu to die, it would only take a word. Who could say no?
A lifeless voice sounded: "Yes, Master Nian."
Hearing this, Jiang Sheng curled the corners of his mouth, raised his head, straightened his back, walked into the kitchen, and started tinkering with it. Soon, the tempting aroma wafted out.
Everyone's noses twitched, and they were all very greedy. They stood up and walked to the kitchen door to look. The busy people looked confused and said, "Venerable Nian, you... can cook?"
"Well, I'm quite particular about food. Sometimes, if I can't find anything I like, I just cook it myself. Cooking helps to calm my mind and increase my spiritual power."
"I see, no wonder your spiritual power is so strong."
Jiang Sheng did all this to show off. He wanted to know more so that he could get more information out of them. He would need to take hangover medicine later, so it would be more appropriate to get them drunk before questioning them.
Plates of seafood were served, topped with soup, garlic sauce, etc., and they were grilled and sizzling, looking very delicious.
Jiang Sheng placed the last plate of steamed garlic shrimp on the table and said, "Everyone, try it. This is some seafood I made. Although these shrimps don't have much meat, they taste very good."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and tasted it, their eyes lit up instantly: "Hmm, delicious, I didn't expect these shells to be so delicious."
"Number Six, uh, Venerable Nian, you seem to know everything."
Jiang Sheng gave a bitter laugh and said helplessly: "Ah, I was a ghost slave before, and I was too cowardly to do any work. Gradually, I learned more and more things."
"Is that so? From now on, I won't have to live that kind of life anymore. All I have to do is to accept the gifts and complete the tasks assigned by the Palace Master."
"Well, then I'll toast to you all. If there's anything I haven't done well, please give me some pointers. I'll drink first."
Seeing how straightforward he was, everyone smiled. Although No. 6 didn't look smart and his face was too ordinary, he had good abilities and seemed to be honest.
You and I started drinking one cup at a time. Soon Youming was drunk and lay on the table muttering to himself. I don't know what Youying was thinking about. He had a gloomy face and was about to kill someone.
Venerable Bing sat opposite, drinking with an expressionless face.
Jiang Sheng was eating and drinking, and his face turned slightly red after taking a hangover medicine. He looked normal and not drunk at all.
"Venerable Nian has amazing alcohol tolerance. I accept the bet and admit defeat."
"I don't deserve it. Maybe the wine wasn't strong enough. Venerable Bing, can you tell me about the temple? I was just a ghost slave before, and I was busy every day, so I don't know much about the temple."
"Yeah, I'm a little curious."
Venerable Bing was a straightforward person. He agreed without thinking, "Okay, then I'll tell you. The temple came to the island a hundred years ago, and the most powerful person is the temple master."
"He has lived for hundreds of years and possesses the most powerful spiritual power. The Palace Master also has a good temper and is generally not too harsh on us. As long as we complete the mission, we will receive the magic medicine."
"Look, I'm almost fifty, but I look only about thirty. It's all thanks to the Palace Master's magic medicine."
Jiang Sheng's eyes flickered, and he became interested in the miracle medicine. However, how could such a thing exist in this world? He would see if he could get one to study it later.
Venerable Bing took a sip of wine and continued, "Under the Palace Master is the Holy Son, and under the Holy Son are the left and right Dharma protectors, and twenty elders..."
After Balabala finished speaking, he specifically reminded: "Although we are venerable, our status in the temple is lower than that of the elders, let alone having contact with the guardian saint."
"The temple has a strict hierarchy. Once you enter, register carefully and don't talk nonsense. There will be no good consequences if you offend those above you."
"However, after you enter, you will most likely replace Elder Kong. At that time, the only ones above you will be the left and right protectors, the Holy Son, and the Palace Master."
Jiang Sheng nodded and understood. He was about to ask them about the purpose of their visit to Central Plains, but he saw the person opposite him tilt his head and fall directly onto the table.
Watching in silence: "..."
Youying was still drinking by himself. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly started cursing for no apparent reason.
Jiang Sheng listened to the cursing. Wasn't it cursing him? His eyes flickered and he lowered his head to drink and eat, pretending he didn't hear it.
He must be careful to use the space blade in the future, otherwise if he is discovered by the shadow, he will be in trouble. Telekinesis can be used under disguise, and he can move objects.
He made up an excuse and got up and walked out of the cabin.
Looking at the busy Younu outside, he waved: "Number nine, right? Where is number four?"
"To answer your Excellency, Number Four went to the warehouse cabin to get something."
"Which cabin? Show me the way."
