Chapter 1221: Chapter 366: Shen Family Dung Beetle, Do You Still Recognize Me? (6k)_3

His thick fingers tapped on the table, "When did you come here? Where’s your sister?"

Shen Yunzhou’s forehead began to sweat as he laughed nervously, "Brother Zhao... you’re joking. My sister... she’s not here, and she can’t beat you anyway."

"I heard your sister recently advanced to late-stage Spirit Severing Realm?" Zhao Muye suddenly asked.

Shen Yunzhou immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum, "Rumor! Absolutely just a rumor! My sister’s still the same, hasn’t changed a bit!"

His eyes shifted as he suddenly slapped the table, "I know! It must be those bastards from the Yan Family spreading rumors!"

Before Zhao Muye could respond, Shen Yunzhou had already indignantly continued, "Brother Zhao, you must’ve heard about the tragic deaths of that uncle and nephew from the Yan Family, right?"

He gritted his teeth and waved his fist, "Those shameless stinkers immediately suspected my sister, and now I don’t know how many rumors they’ve spread to slander her!"

"My sister was bothered to death, that’s why she brought me out to unwind!"

Zhao Muye raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Which uncle and nephew from the Yan Family died?"

"Yan Sen and Yan Weiyi!" Shen Yunzhou widened his eyes, "Brother Zhao, you didn’t know?"

"Oh, it’s them." Zhao Muye casually picked up a piece of meat, "No, I didn’t."

Shen Yunzhou suddenly felt speechless, "Then... then how did you know my sister broke through late-stage Spirit Severing Realm?"

"Didn’t you just say it’s a rumor?" Zhao Muye countered.

"I... I meant to say..." Shen Yunzhou anxiously scratched his head, "I was asking how you knew my sister came here?"

"Didn’t you say your sister brought you out to get some fresh air? You’re here, so of course your sister is too," Zhao Muye replied, looking puzzled.

Shen Yunzhou opened his mouth, but found himself tangled up further, quickly waving his hands, "Wait, Brother Zhao, let’s go over this again. You started off asking about my sister..."

"Yeah!" Zhao Muye impatiently interrupted, "I was just casually bringing it up. Should I ask you ’Have you eaten?’, ’What are you doing?’ "

Shen Yunzhou: "..."

Zhou Qing and the others exchanged bewildered looks, unsure who wasn’t being clear.

But the next moment, Zhao Muye leaned close to Shen Yunzhou, sniffing him, "Kid... have you been eating shit lately? Your mind’s dumber than mine!"

"I didn’t eat any!" Shen Yunzhou jumped up, his face red as he protested.

Zhao Muye waved his hand dismissively, continued picking up food with his chopsticks, and noticed the others still standing, "Everyone sit! I’m the guest, you’re making it seem like I’m taking over."

Lu Yaoyao and the group quickly looked towards Zhou Qing.

Once Zhou Qing hesitated and sat down, the others followed suit.

"Big guy, come sit over here." Zhao Muye pointed at Ghost Mastiff, then at Luo Lingling, "You, sit over there. Old Zhao isn’t used to sitting with women."

Ghost Mastiff and Luo Lingling exchanged glances silently before swapping seats.

Luo Lingling silently grumbled to herself, "Barbarian."

Then, Zhao Muye’s gaze returned to Zhou Qing, suddenly smirking.

With his rough hand, he rubbed his head, "Interesting, you just happen to have the ’Infinite Reception Order’ from Jiyuan Temple. Where did you get that?"

Zhou Qing’s pupils shrank, and a storm of thoughts surged through his mind.

How did you sense something buried so deep?

After a moment of hesitation, he patted his storage bag and out floated a palm-sized gold foil.

It was engraved densely with Sanskrit, with faint chanting echoing around it.

Back at Taiqing Sect, Jue Ming and his disciple Mistake Cicada mistook him as the Buddha Son because of the ’Demon-Suppressing Golden Bone’.

Only until Lady Li appeared with the actual Buddha Son was the misunderstanding cleared.

But Master Jue Ming still held Zhou Qing in high regard upon their farewell.

After all, throughout history, Zhou Qing was the only cultivator to achieve Great Success with ’Demon-Suppressing Golden Bone’ at the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Jue Ming thought Zhou Qing had profound Buddha ties and specially gifted him this Guiding Order.

If he ever had a change of heart and wished to join the Buddhist path, he could directly enter Jiyuan Temple’s Inner Courtyard with this.

Or if he encountered danger, he could crush it to summon nearby high monks from Jiyuan Temple for assistance.

To an extent, this was still a life-saving item!

Yet, he hadn’t used it until now.

Located in a remote area, Holy Martial Dynasty had few high monks from Jiyuan Temple wandering about.

Using a life-saving item rashly could result in wasting a valuable opportunity.

His Talent Skills, specifically the [Lowering Presence], had hit a bottleneck; gathering ’Ignore Points’ in usual settings was challenging.

Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty, being a fifth-level cultivation country with Spirit Severing Realm experts gathered, is the perfect place for him to accumulate more points. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

In such a tense and exhilarating environment, he could accumulate points faster.

As for the Guiding Order, that would be his last resort for safety.

While pondering, Shen Yunzhou quietly transmitted his voice to him, "This guy practiced at Jiyuan Temple for over a hundred years, deeply immersed in Buddhism."

"Rumor has it Abbot Kuei once wanted him as a closed-door disciple. Unfortunately..."

Shen Yunzhou’s voice carried some amusement, "He’s a complete battle junkie, always fighting or heading off to a fight, causing chaos in the temple."

"Eventually, he couldn’t take the strict rules anymore and felt bored, deciding to return to the secular world."

After a pause, Shen Yunzhou added, "He’s now in the late-stage Spirit Severing Realm, so sensing Master Jue Ming’s Guiding Order isn’t too surprising."

Mentioning this, Shen Yunzhou’s expression became somewhat complicated.

Back when Jue Ming and his disciple mistook the Buddha Son, he witnessed it all.

The genuine Buddha Son ultimately only recognized Zhou Qing as "Big Dad", sidelining him, who had provided Lady Li with wood attribute Spirit Stones.

Zhou Qing felt a shock in his heart hearing this.

This seemingly rough man before him was indeed a late-stage Spirit Severing Realm expert, on par with Shen Hanyi!
