Walking out of the hall, Qin Shangyu stood steadily in front of everyone. His smiling eyes swept over Fan Tianlei and the three female soldiers, and he nodded gently."Scholars, are you here for yesterday's matter?”
"Yes." Fan Tianlei replied with a smile. Seeing Qin Shangyu's friendly attitude, he relaxed a lot and said with a smile,""We're here to thank everyone. By the way…"
Fan Tianlei coughed and glanced at the wooden door. He said with embarrassment,""I'll also help Longevity Temple repair the gate.”
Hearing this, Qin Shangyu nodded.”
In fact, Qin Shangyu had already known about this matter. He had already predicted that they would come and had prepared for them for a long time. He was just waiting for them to fall into the trap. However, Qin Shangyu still pretended to be confused and smiled indifferently.""Actually, it's not a big deal."
"No, this is very important."
Fan Tianlei shook his head and said seriously,""One of the rules of conduct for us soldiers is to not bring trouble to the people.”
After Fan Tianlei finished speaking, the three female soldiers nodded and said apologetically,""This is indeed our responsibility. If we don't do something, we will feel guilty.”
"Fine, fine." Seeing how sincere Fan Tianlei and the others were, Qin Shangyu felt happy in his heart. He said helplessly,""Since you have the intention, I won't stop you.”
After saying that, Qin Shangyu looked at Fan Tianlei again and asked with a smile,""After chatting for so long, I still don't know how to address this scholar?”
"This is our Chief of Staff!" Ye Cunxin quickly stepped forward and looked at Qin Shangyu curiously. Fan Tianlei immediately added his name.
"Oh…Chief of Staff Fan?”Qin Shangyu read it thoughtfully. As a transmigrator, he had already guessed who he was. Then he politely smiled at Fan Tianlei and said,""Sir Fan, since I have left the military, I will no longer address you as a military officer.”
"Of course you can." Fan Tianlei smiled calmly. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this title.
They had come to Longevity Temple to express their gratitude. If he kept putting on airs, it would be a little inappropriate. This way of addressing him could also make both parties seem more cordial.
Seeing Qin Shangyu's smiling face, Fan Tianlei was in a good mood. He then asked,""How should I address you, Abbey Dean? I remember that your daoist name seems to be Daoist Yufeng?”
"Sir Fan, you can just call me Monastery Master Yufeng. As for my name…since I've already entered the Dao Sect, there's no need to mention my name in the secular world.”
After Qin Shangyu finished speaking, he waved his wide sleeves and rubbed Lin Wanwan's head with one hand.""This is my disciple, Daoist Wan Gu.”
After introducing Lin Wanwan, Qin Shangyu introduced Wu Pengfei and the others. Then he said to Fan Tianlei,""Sir Fan, don't stand outside. Come in and take a look.”
"This…"
Hearing Qin Shangyu's invitation, Fan Tianlei's eyes glanced at the dilapidated door frame of the hall. Although he felt that there was nothing much to visit here, he still politely said,""Then I'll have to trouble you, Monastery Master Yufeng."
If he directly refused, it would seem like he would lose face. Anyway, it wouldn't take too long to look around such a small Taoist temple. There was nothing wrong with looking around.
……
Under Qin Shangyu's lead, everyone first walked towards the hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, a wave of incense and incense wafted into their faces. The smell of incense and candles almost filled the entire hall. There were bundles of incense and candles on the table beside the hall. In front of the hall was a statue of the ancestor of the Temple of Longevity.
However, this hall looked solemn at first glance, but it was somewhat helpless at a closer look.
Although the hall was clean and tidy, the slightest movement would cause dust to fall from above, making people want to cough. However, the Taoist priests of the Temple of Longevity were right beside them, so Fan Tianlei and the three female soldiers could only endure it.
Looking at such a weak Taoist temple, Fan Tianlei and the female soldiers could only tread lightly and carefully in order to prevent themselves from accidentally collapsing the temple. They wanted to hold their breaths.
However, the people of the Temple of Longevity were probably already used to this.
Du Xiaofeng quickly went to the corner to pick up the broom and swept the dust away. Qin Shangyu was also indifferent. He continued to introduce the long history of Longevity Temple to Fan Tianlei and the others.
Seeing this, Fan Tianlei and the female soldiers felt a sour feeling in their hearts. They became more careful.
The Taoist priest of Longevity Temple had it tough. The Taoist temple was so dilapidated, yet it could still be so optimistic. As expected of a Taoist priest, he was broad-minded!
……
After spending half an hour touring the entire Taoist temple, seeing that Fan Tianlei and the three female soldiers were still careful, Qin Shangyu waved the horsetail whisk in his hand and smiled at the four of them."There's no need to be so reserved, just be more casual.”
After Qin Shangyu finished speaking, Lin Wanwan, who had been following him, also pursed her pink lips and said,"Although our Temple of Longevity is old and shabby, it won't collapse because of a few words.”
Lin Wanwan had always felt estranged from Fan Tianlei and the others. It wasn't that she thought Fan Tianlei and the others were bad people. It was just that her past experiences had made her instinctively wary of anyone.
So far, the only people Lin Wanwan trusted were the people in the temple. Among them, the one Lin Wanwan relied on the most was Qin Shangyu.
A teacher for a day is a father for life.
For Lin Wanwan, who had lost her family, Qin Shangyu was the only irreplaceable person. Because of this, Lin Wanwan was also very obedient to Qin Shangyu, afraid of making her master angry.
However, Lin Wanwan wasn't as enthusiastic towards other people, just like now. After saying that, Lin Wanwan once again stuck to Qin Shangyu's side, staring at Fan Tianlei and the others with her round eyes.
Fan Tianlei and the three female soldiers were helpless against Lin Wanwan's vigilance.
However, this little Daoist nun was only an eleven or twelve-year-old child. She did not understand some things, so it was only right for her to be cautious towards them.
Fan Tianlei and the three female soldiers exchanged a glance. As if to ease the atmosphere, he smiled and said,""Since Daoist Wan Gu has said so, then let's be more casual.”
After saying that, Fan Tianlei walked to Qin Shangyu with steady steps and said with a faint smile,""Master Yufeng, we came here to thank you. How can we help the Taoist temple?”
Seeing that Qin Shangyu did not show any special expression after hearing his words, Fan Tianlei quickly added,""Of course, we will also repair the gate of the Taoist temple. Other than that, if Longevity Temple has any other requests, we will try our best to satisfy them as a token of our gratitude.”
At this point, Fan Tianlei believed that Qin Shangyu should have understood what he meant, so he did not elaborate further and began to wait for him to make a request.
However, Qin Shangyu did not directly state his request as Fan Tianlei had expected. Instead, he smiled and said,""There's no hurry."
Everything was in Qin Shangyu's plan. If he was anxious, it would ruin the plan.
Up until now, he had already achieved half of his goal. He had to be calm for the remaining half. He couldn't be the first to panic.
Anyway, these special forces soldiers had already fallen into the trap.
He would continue to display the demeanor of an 'otherworldly master'. He did not have to worry about them not becoming Taoist believers!
Haha.
