Cunning and crafty high monk

  Idle Cloud glanced at the two, then very politely said to Zhan Yi: "Master Zhan, these two are my disciples. The older one's name is Dong Dabao, and the younger one's dharma name is Fa Jie." Saying this, he turned his head again to look at the two disciples and said, "You two still don't hurry up to pay respects to Master Zhan."

  Dong Dabao and Fa Jie were somewhat bewildered, they didn't know why Xianyun wanted to introduce them to Zhan Yi, and with such a serious expression. But they knew that if Xianyun respected someone so much, he must be very impressive, so they didn't dare hesitate either. They rushed towards Zhan Yi and paid their respects, saying: "Greetings, Master Zhan."

  "Hehe, you don't have to be so polite, come sit down." Zhan Yi didn't know what Xian Yun was up to, but he knew there must be a reason, so he didn't stop him and just exchanged pleasantries after the two finished their greetings.

  "This... with Master here, we don't dare sit down." The two turned their heads to look at Xianyun and said hesitantly.

  "The host invites you to sit down, so please take a seat." Xianyun glanced at both of them and finally spoke up.

  The two of them did indeed listen and quickly sat down, but looking at their tense appearance, Zhan Yi couldn't help but want to laugh. The phrase "like sitting on pins and needles" might just be describing the state these two are in right now.

  After everyone sat down, Xián Yún looked at the two disciples and spoke again in a very serious tone: "Today I let you come in, is to tell you something very important. The Zhǎn Shī Master sitting in front of you, after my calculations, will be the controller of heaven and earth in the future, and will have great help for our Buddhist sect. So from now on, when you see Zhǎn Shī Master, you must show more respect than to me, do you understand?"

  "Ah, the controller of heaven and earth, isn't that the master god of heaven and earth?" The two people who heard Xianyun's words were immediately stunned, and after a while they asked tentatively.

  "Hmm, it can be said that even the Heavenly Master is not as formidable. You two are extremely fortunate to have met Zhan Shi Zhu in this lifetime." Xian Yun looked at his two disciples with a foolish expression and nodded his head in satisfaction.

  "What is more formidable than the master of heaven and earth?" The two were even more shocked, and their eyes on Zhan Yi suddenly became reverent, because they knew that their teacher's calculations would never be wrong. Such a big figure was in front of them, who dared not to show respect?

  "This... is probably the Heavenly Master, but even I don't know for sure. Anyway, it's as great as you can imagine." Xianyun was taken aback by the two people's questions and also knew that he had bragged a bit too much, but since the conversation had already started, he couldn't take it back and could only give a vague answer to their question.

  "Master, I think we are really too lucky to have met the future Heavenly Master in our lifetime. It's truly a blessing of three lifetimes! Don't worry, sir, from now on, whenever we meet Zhan Shi, we will show him the utmost respect with the most sincere hearts, not only dedicating love to him but also inviting him to dinner and tea." Dong Dabao indeed lived up to his reputation as a salesperson, finally regaining composure after being shocked and speaking with an extremely enthusiastic tone.

  And beside him, Fahui also nodded repeatedly, his expression excited and full of longing.

  "Hmm, it's good that you're all like this, but I called you here today to say something else. From now on, Da Bao, you'll be following Master Zhan, serving him diligently and not making any mistakes. Are you willing?" Xian Yun said seriously, giving Dong Da Bao a stern look.

  "I'm more than willing, it's like I've been waiting for this opportunity my whole life! Master, I feel that being able to serve Lord Zhen is the good fortune I've accumulated from my past life. Don't worry, from today on, if he tells me to go east I won't go west, if he tells me to beat a dog I won't scold a chicken. And I'll use all my strength to help him with everything." Dong Dabao received the message from Xianyun's eyes and excitedly almost jumped up, hurriedly nodding his head in agreement.

  In his view, being able to follow Zhan Yi's side was the greatest honor for him. The future master of the heavenly realm, even if he could just bask in a bit of his glory, would be many times stronger than others.

  On the other hand, Xia Shami Fa Jie seemed somewhat unwilling, looking at Xian Yun weakly and saying: "Master, I also want to follow Zhan Shi Zhu's side, serving him before and after his horse."

  "This... great treasure, you see your senior brother also wants to go, otherwise you can just let him have it, how about that?" Idle Cloud's expression became embarrassed upon hearing this.

  "Big Brother, you're still too young and not suitable. In the future, I'll take care of Master Zhang first, then you can take care of me, okay? I have high hopes for you." But Dong Dabao was unwilling to agree. In his opinion, he had finally found a glimmer of hope in life. If he really let his junior brother go, wouldn't this opportunity be lost? So he quickly tried to persuade Fa Jie.

  "Junior brother, I'm your senior who entered the sect earlier than you. Besides, I'm not young anymore, and I can already serve Master, so why can't I serve Patriarch Zhang?" Fa Jie said with a hint of discontent, his big eyes blinking rapidly. Although he was young, he wasn't foolish and also knew that opportunities should not be missed.

  "You can't go, Master asked me to go first."

  "I'm going now, you just gave Zhang Shi the main money, he must not like you."

  The two of them soon fell out with each other.

  Yan Yi watched from the side, almost laughing out loud. This idle cloud looked so dignified and serious, but unexpectedly was so cunning. With just a few words, he had raised the enthusiasm of his two apprentices to such a high level. It seems that the saying "ginger is old and spicy" is not wrong at all.

  It was Xian Yun who looked at the two of them arguing incessantly, and glared at them with all her might: "Hmph, shut up! Look at what you're like now. Do you still have any of the Buddhist sect's rules? Saying this, she turned her head to look at Zhan Yi and continued, "Zhan Shi Zhu, how do you see this matter?"

  Zhan Yi listened and knew it was his turn to speak, so he pretended to be a bit hesitant and thought for a moment: "Hehe, Xian Yun, actually I'm also quite indecisive. This Da Bao, I think is too fond of cheating people out of their money, but Fa Jie, although honest, is still too young. If I bring him along, it might be a bit inconvenient."

  "Big Treasure, did you cheat Zhang Shi's money? How can this be, what's going on?" Xian Yun's face turned angry as soon as he heard it.

  "Master, this... I didn't mean to, it was just a joke with Zhang Shi Zhu, don't worry Zhang Shi Zhu, I swear from now on I will be loyal and honest with you, I won't cheat you out of money again, and I'll even help you make more money. If I break my promise, let me be poor for the rest of my life. Take me with you." Dong Da Bao looked at Xian Yun's angry expression, his face showing some fear, but quickly turned to show determination to Zhang Yi.

  "Master Zhan, I'm actually not that young anymore. I take care of people very thoroughly, don't believe me? Ask Master Shi about it. Moreover, I'm also the senior brother of Da Bao." On the side, Fa Jie looked at Dong Da Bao's confident appearance and knew that if he didn't make a move, he would likely lose the opportunity, so he hurriedly introduced himself as well.

  "Big brother, don't talk nonsense, where am I not honest? Besides, Master Zhang said you're still young and it's not suitable to bring you along." Dong Dabao also didn't back down.

  "But you've already deceived Zhang Shu, he doesn't like you at all." The two were about to quarrel again.

  "Shut up, all of you. Zhan Shi, just pick one that's good enough." Xian Yun stopped the two again and then looked at Zhan Yi.

  "That...alright, let Dabao come with me then. I think he's also quite sincere about changing his ways. Can't just deny him a chance because of one mistake, right? As for Fahui, we can talk about it when he grows up later." Zhan Yi finally expressed a clear attitude.

  "Hmm, what Master Zhan said is absolutely right. Da Bao, you should quickly thank Master Zhan. From now on, if you dare to do anything foolish again while following Master Zhan, be careful or I won't go easy on you." Xian Yun nodded at Zhan Yi and then turned to scold Dong Da Bao.

  "Thank you, Master Zhang. Don't worry, from now on I will respect you just like my own father, and devote all my filial piety to you." Dong Dabao was overjoyed, bowing to Zhang Yi while speaking in a flattering tone.

  "Zhan Shi Zhu, aren't you afraid of being deceived by him again? My junior brother is not very honest." Fa Jie said on the side, pretending to be very worried about Zhan Yi.

  "Big Brother, don't say that anymore. I've decided to turn over a new leaf from now on. And besides, Master Zhang is the future Heavenly Lord, his great personality and power have thoroughly cleansed my soul, so much so that I won't even think about cheating people out of their money again." Dong Dabao turned around and glared at Fa Jie with an angry expression, while Fa Jie also glared back at him without backing down.

  "Never mind, no one is perfect, and you don't have to worry about the law either. When you grow up, if you still want to follow me, I'll take you with me then." Zhan Yi hastily intervened as he saw the two were about to quarrel again.

  "Alright, actually, Master Zhan, my junior brother has many good points too. He's usually very clever and resourceful when doing things. It wouldn't be bad if he followed you either. But I must remind you, I'm already 13 this year, and in five years, I'll be an adult. You have to take me with you then, and let me serve you." Fa Jie saw that Zhan Yi had already made his stance clear, so he quickly changed his tone as well, speaking of Dong Da Bao's good points, as if afraid that Dong Da Bao would speak ill of him in front of Zhan Yi in the future.

  "Alright, it's settled then. Da Bao, Fa Jie, you two go and tell the temple to prepare some of their best vegetarian dishes. And, Zhang Jia, what do you like to eat? Tell them to buy those too." Xian Yun finally made a concluding statement.

  "Let's not buy too much, just get a fish, a roasted chicken, some braised pork, and a few beers. Whatever you guys eat, I'll eat the same."

  "This... it seems like the temple is being built here." Dong Dabao and Fa Jie couldn't help but swallow their saliva after hearing Zhan Yi's words, but still pretended to be hesitant.

  "What did Master Zhan let you buy that you can't eat? Can't Master Zhan eat either? Hurry up and go." Xianyun looked at the two apprentices, then at Zhan Yi's slightly embarrassed expression, and quickly sent them away with a humph.
