Chapter 775 - 655: Token
As soon as these words were spoken, the venue fell into silence, and everyone present closed their mouths, looking at Qin An with surprised eyes.
No one knew why Qin An chose to reveal his identity at this moment, but Qin An himself was very clear that this seemed to be an opportunity, an opportunity for him to find the last relic of the saint.
Originally, on this trip, the Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple no longer wanted to see him. He had no other ideas and planned to find the last piece of the saint relic from elsewhere after returning.
But now, suddenly, there was an unexpected turn, and another person arrived, who was also Junior Brother to Li Ruofeng.
Since it was a variable, Qin An certainly wanted to try and see if he could find the last relic of the saint from this variable.
If he could, then he wouldn’t have to spend any more effort looking for other opportunities.
If he couldn’t, then there’s no harm in giving up.
This is why Qin An said those words.
After he said this, Li Ruofeng was slightly surprised, but then quickly hid his surprised expression.
To him, Qin An’s identity was not a secret; he also knew very well that if Qin An really used the reason he mentioned, he indeed couldn’t refuse.
Meanwhile, the burly Lin Ruoyun frowned.
"Indeed, people of the Evil Extermination Bureau can manage martial world forces,"
Lin Ruoyun sneered, "But this is a family matter of our Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple, and I’m afraid you, as a person from the Evil Extermination Bureau, don’t have the qualifications to get involved."
"Back then, the Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple paid a heavy price for this world. Even the General wouldn’t do anything excessive before the Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple violated the laws of the Daqian Kingdom."
The implication was that Qin An wasn’t qualified to handle this matter, and he even referenced the General to put pressure on Qin An.
Qin An didn’t respond to Lin Ruoyun’s words but instead shifted his gaze to Li Ruofeng and said calmly, "Master Li, he is not someone from the Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple. I won’t care about what he says, but if you’re willing to let me in today, I’ll go in. If not, I’ll leave now."
After pondering for a long time, Li Ruofeng turned and walked towards the main hall behind him: "Since Mr. Qin wants to see, then come and see. After all, it’s not a secret."
As the leader of a top force, not only must one possess strong strength, but also a sufficiently shrewd mind.
Li Ruofeng understood very clearly that Qin An had already expressed himself to this extent, and it was no longer a matter of whether he wanted to see him or not.
If today he really refused Qin An, the temple would only become hostile with Qin An.
If it were someone else from the Evil Extermination Bureau, Li Ruofeng certainly wouldn’t mind.
But recently Qin An’s strength had indeed reached an unimaginable level.
Therefore, Qin An wanting to watch this debate at this time gave him no other opinions, as he didn’t want to offend someone with such a powerful force.
Lin Ruoyun frowned, and his gaze fell on Qin An, showing a thoughtful expression.
Don’t be fooled by his seemingly reckless appearance; in fact, he is carefully discerning.
He also knew that for Li Ruofeng to do these things, the other party’s identity must not be simple.
He didn’t say anything more and instead followed Li Ruofeng towards the main hall.
Qin An naturally didn’t linger there.
The three of them left the courtyard, and before long, they arrived at the largest main hall of the Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple.
The decor inside the hall was extremely luxurious, and amidst its luxury, it held a very elegant aura, being more peculiar than any place Qin An had ever seen.
After entering, Li Ruofeng directly sat on the topmost chair.
Lin Ruoyun didn’t dawdle either and sat beside Li Ruofeng.
Once the two had settled, Li Ruofeng finally spoke: "Mr. Qin, just sit wherever you like. In the Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple, there’s no need for worldly formalities."
Hearing Li Ruofeng’s words to this point, Qin An didn’t hesitate at all, turning around and sitting down at the nearest place.
"You two don’t need to mind me, just start directly."
He came this time to see what tricks these two could pull off.
And by this unexpected event, look to find clues to obtain the relic of the saint.
Qin An planned to observe first and had no intention of interrupting them at this moment.
Li Ruofeng nodded slightly and turned to look at Lin Ruoyun, gesturing with his hand: "Begin."
Lin Ruoyun nodded slightly, responded, and then said: "We will debate who between us can lead the Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple to a better future."
As soon as this was said, the hall was silent for a moment, then Li Ruofeng frowned.
"You said outside that we were here to debate Taoism, so why have you changed the topic, Lin Ruoyun? Are you confused?"
Lin Ruoyun smiled and said, "Matters concerning the development of the Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple can also be considered a part of Taoism, as no matter which of us takes over the Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple, we will govern based on our understanding of Tao, including the wisdom of past generations. Isn’t this also a form of Taoist study?"
Li Ruofeng frowned deeper, speaking in a deep voice, "What you’ve said is absurd. If you want to compete with me on this, I have no intention of debating, as it is without resolution."
"Let’s just go outside now and settle it with a fight to decide the winner and loser."
He didn’t want to continue because Lin Ruoyun’s statement was frankly too ridiculous.
Everyone’s method of governance is different; hence, the various governance methods involved cannot be judged by a normal standard.
