Chapter 524 What am I looking at?
Xiao Wanwan took out a silver ingot and quietly put it into the waiter's hand, saying with a smile:
"Little Second Brother, we've heard that the Goddess Temple in Lingdu is very powerful, so we've traveled thousands of miles to seek the gods' protection. We're new here and don't know the rules, so please give us some pointers."
The waiter weighed the silver ingot in his hand and was delighted.
This beautiful girl in front of me is so generous.
His heart was beating fast, but a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
After looking around for a while, he gritted his teeth, walked up to the crowd and said in a low voice:
"Dear guests, if you make irresponsible remarks about the Imperial Master in Lingdu, you will be beheaded. Since you are new here, I will not hesitate to say a few words."
"Our Goddess Hall has now been closed by the Imperial Master. If you want to go and kneel down to worship the Goddess, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
The waiter was really smart. He took her money but said a few irrelevant words.
Xiao Wanwan rolled her eyes inwardly and asked, "Why? I heard the Goddess Temple is very powerful, why is it closed?"
The waiter laughed awkwardly:
"My dear guest, I am so sorry! This matter is not for us ordinary people to know."
Thinking that I had taken a lot of money from others, I felt very guilty.
The waiter glanced around nervously again, and his voice became even lower:
"I heard from the second uncle of the sister-in-law of the daughter of my neighbor's aunt that the Imperial Master is very disgusted with the Goddess Temple. He once wanted to destroy it, but failed."
The corners of Xiao Wanwan's mouth twitched. Is this news reliable?
Yun Mubai remained silent until the waiter finished speaking. Then he spoke softly:
"Little Second Brother, I wonder when did the Imperial Master become the Imperial Master?"
The waiter didn't expect him to ask this. He frowned and thought for a moment, then quickly came to his senses:
"The Imperial Preceptor suddenly appeared in Lingdu 20 years ago. I heard he was born like a god, and after he showed a little bit of his skills, the Emperor bestowed him with the title of Imperial Preceptor."
"Over the years, the Emperor has stopped caring about worldly affairs. The Imperial Master has absolute power, his authority unmatched."
He was talking with saliva flying, and suddenly he thought of something and covered his mouth.
It's bad. I spoke too quickly and said everything I should and shouldn't have said.
The waiter broke out in a cold sweat and nodded repeatedly:
"Dear guests, please sit down for a moment. I will serve you tea first!"
"Go!" Yun Mubai didn't ask any more questions and waved his hand to let him go.
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and ran away.
After the waiter brought the tea and snacks, Yun Mubai flicked his long sleeves and cast a soundproof barrier.
He tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his brows slightly furrowed.
"According to the waiter, this Imperial Master seems to want to suppress the reputation of the Goddess Hall."
Chu Yanhao picked up a piece of dessert and threw it into his mouth, saying nonchalantly:
"That's perfectly normal! The Goddess Temple is renowned and widely worshipped by the people of Yan Gu Continent. This Imperial Master, who appeared out of nowhere, wants to replace it. He must be meticulously eliminating the influence of the Goddess Temple on the people."
Didn’t many ministers and concubines in the imperial palace often use this trick?
Feng Lizhou took a sip of tea nonchalantly, then curled his lips in disdain:
"Anyway, I just feel that the Imperial Master is not a good person."
For some reason, when he first saw the Imperial Master, he felt not surprise or curiosity, but deep disgust.
He actually acts arrogantly with the same appearance as him, which is really disgusting.
Judging from the way he travels, even the main god of a world does not have his style.
Dong Yi played with the teacup in his hand, looking forward with unfocused eyes. He suddenly said:
"Is it possible that this Imperial Master was also an object left behind by someone in the past, and over time, it became tainted with the aura of the goddess and transformed into a human form?"
When he uttered the word "someone", everyone couldn't help but look at Chu Yanhao and then at Feng Lizhou.
Feng Lizhou subconsciously grabbed his collar and argued:
"Why are you looking at me? Even in my past life, I couldn't do such a ridiculous thing."
It hurts just thinking about digging out my own ribs.
Chu Yanhao rolled his eyes at him in dissatisfaction, then glanced at Dong Yi angrily:
"Talk is talk, but don't bring it up with me all the time."
Xiao Wanwan and Xiao Shengsheng leaned against each other and secretly ate the hundred-flower cake that she had hidden away.
Seeing that Chu Yanhao and Feng Lizhou were a little angry and embarrassed, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zi Buyan didn't participate in the conversation at all. She acted like a fool and came close to Xiao Wanwan to get some of the Baihua Cake.
Xiao Wensheng always did what his senior brother did, and he saw Feng Lizhou and the other two arguing with each other.
He even lowered his head and ate the cakes diligently, fearing that he would be affected by the disaster.
Receiving the resentful looks from Feng Lizhou and Chu Yanhao, Xiao Wanwan put away her smile and pretended to cough lightly.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, it's useless for us to speculate here. Why don't we go down to the Goddess Temple and find out what's going on?"
Feng Lizhou was the first to raise his hand in agreement, and he was also feeling very nervous.
There are many speculations about the origins of the national teacher who looks exactly like himself.
"Wanwan is right! Let's go to the Goddess Temple and take a look. Maybe we can find some clues."
Yun Mubai waved his hand to remove the soundproofing and called over the waiter who had just come.
The waiter was all smiles and very welcoming to everyone.
They gave so much that he had to be enthusiastic.
"Dear guests, do you have any instructions?"
Xiao Wanwan took out another ingot of silver and placed it on the table, saying with a smile:
"Little Brother, help us settle the bill! The remaining amount will be considered as our reward to you. Also, let's find out where the Goddess Temple is."
Happiness always comes so suddenly!
The waiter's heart was pounding with excitement and his hands were shaking. He took the silver on the table into his arms with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your generous gifts! The Goddess Temple is located in the heart of Lingdu, right next to the Imperial Master's Mansion. However, please just observe it from a distance and do not approach."
"Why?" Chu Yanhao frowned and couldn't help but ask.
Whenever he heard someone being disrespectful to the goddess, he would feel inexplicably angry.
The waiter was startled by his expression and gave a weak explanation:
"My dear guests, you may not know that the Goddess Hall is now closed and guarded by the Imperial Master's Mansion. If you approach it rashly, you may get into trouble."
Xiao Wanwan reached out to stop Chu Yanhao and smiled apologetically at the waiter:
"Thank you for telling me, little brother!"
The group left Mingxiang Pavilion and slowly walked towards the Goddess Hall.
Everyone's cultivation is quite strong, and although they seem to be walking leisurely, they are actually as fast as lightning.
In just a cup of tea, everyone had already stopped far away outside the Goddess Temple.
The Goddess Temple in front of us is exactly the same as the Ancient Continent and the Deep Ancient Continent.
The ancient and heavy door was closed tightly, and two guards in armor, holding swords and guns, stood upright in front of the door.
