Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1167 - 212: Establishing a Branch Temple

The tea was very hot.

Lin Shuyou sat upright and proper, trying his best not to look at the faces of his master and grandfather, as their faces were now hotter than the tea in his hand.

Lin Fu'an tried several times to put down his teacup but picked it up again.

Chen Shoumen held the lid, scraping around the edge of the cup circle after circle.

Who would have thought they had gone through all the formalities only to be told by their own grandson (disciple) that they were overthinking things?

They now felt a sense of humiliation, as if their underpants had been seen by their grandson (disciple), and they had willingly taken them off themselves.

Lin Shuyou was the first to break the silence, "Master, Grandpa, we are currently..."

Lin Shuyou got stuck and began to scratch his head hard.

No, he couldn't just say it so straightforwardly, or else his grandfather and master wouldn't handle it well.

"It's fine. A little karmic backlash, we have ways to resolve it, just say it," Lin Fu'an looked at his disciple Chen Shoumen, "Hehe, I've seen the world and understand some things."

Lin Shuyou: "But Grandpa, you've seen too little of the world."

Lin Fu'an: "..."

Lin Shuyou remembered that every time Brother Bin went to tell stories to the old lady, he had to prepare a well-referenced draft in advance. Brother Bin said that if he spoke too directly, it would affect the old lady's health.

Even the elderly lady of the Liu family had to avoid such karma, and Lin Shuyou didn't think his grandfather had the destiny to withstand it.

"Grandpa, Master, Brother Xiao Yuan is taking us in a boat, the waves are very strong, and we are rowing quickly, getting on board now makes it easy to be smashed by the waves.

So what's meant to be discussed later can only be left for later."

Lin Fu'an nodded.

Chen Shoumen: "We were being presumptuous."

Everyone in the team was required to read the "Chasing Faraway Secret Scroll" and "River Crossing Code of Conduct." Lin Shuyou had also understood certain truths.

If they were to bring their own temple into the fold as part of the team force, the start of the next wave might occur right at their temple.

Given their current level of River Crossing, their temple would find it difficult to survive such a wave of Langhua.

Lin Shuyou: "Grandpa, Master, then I..."

Lin Fu'an said to Chen Shoumen, "Organize the people in the temple to hold the ceremony for Ah You's establishment of a new branch."

Chen Shoumen immediately got up, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

With his grandfather and master's approval and assistance, Lin Shuyou's process of establishing a new branch went very smoothly.

Shuyou was very happy.

Others in the temple were also very happy.

Though they couldn't understand why Lin Shuyou, a direct heir of the Lin Family, wanted to go through the process of establishing a new branch temple, at least it meant that the future temple master of this temple might fall to them.

A narrow secondary hall was partitioned off in the main hall, with an offering table at the head, on which one layer held Lin Shuyou's lineage and ancestors, and the lower layer held only Lin Shuyou's Life Plate and long lamp.

The Life Plates originally on the large offering table in the temple, and the names in the temple register, were also scratched off.

Lin Shuyou looked at the brand-new yellow temple register in his hand, which had words only on the first page, and only his name and birth place and date were introduced.

This was no different than starting a new family genealogy.

Fragments peeled off the child's body, floated down, bypassed Lin Shuyou's head, and landed on Lin Shuyou's shoulders.

Lin Shuyou's lips could no longer suppress it and he smiled.

A sense of responsibility and pride welled up within him.

From this point on, he would carry the child and go solo, and he had to make a great name for himself in the future!

The child thought so too.

In the previous ceremony, it received burnt paper letters and knew what had happened. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Even though that youngster's methods were a bit harsh, often disregarded its dignity, and treated it like a mule... but when it came to giving things, he was truly generous and kept his promises.

However, the child's happiness didn't last long.

Because from within the idol, it discovered that Lin Shuyou had consecutively burned two more letters.

A group of temple disciples carried in the statues of General Zeng and General Sun, placing them behind it.

Placed in front of Zeng and Sun, the child was satisfied.

But to be placed together with them, the child was very unhappy.

Lin Shuyou reached out and touched the foot of the child's idol, then patted it.

The child's idol quivered slightly.

Lin Shuyou had to lower his head, then raised his eyes, activating the vertical pupil.

After a brief internal exchange, the vertical pupil dissipated. Lin Shuyou yawned and went out.

The matter here was resolved, and after attending the family feast later, he would have to return to Nantong.

The tables were already set, there were three of them, all filled with temple diviners.

Lin Fu'an had already taken the main seat at the head of the main table.

Chen Shoumen signaled Lin Shuyou to take the seat of equal rank to his, and they sat down together.

As the person responsible for the minor branch, Lin Shuyou now had the legal status to sit on equal terms with his master, the person responsible for the major branch.

Chen Shoumen gestured for Lin Shuyou to raise his wine glass, and the two of them first toasted Lin Fu'an together.

As Lin Shuyou lifted his wine glass, suddenly, he felt a shock in his pupils, realizing it must be the child and Zeng and Sun generals causing a conflict in the main hall.

In this moment of lost focus, his arm shook, and most of the wine in the cup spilled on the ground.

Just as Lin Shuyou was about to apologize, he noticed Lin Fu'an and Chen Shoumen also spilled their wine on the ground.

Lin Shuyou didn't quite understand.

Lin Fu'an then exchanged a glance with Chen Shoumen, thinking: Ah You did the right thing, the first cup of wine should be first offered to the Dragon King family.

For the second cup, Chen Shoumen and Lin Shuyou both toasted Lin Fu'an.

For the third cup, Chen Shoumen voluntarily clinked glasses with Lin Shuyou, and as Lin Shuyou lowered his glass mouth, Chen Shoumen's little finger lifted it for an even toast.
