Everyone looked at Xiao Che in surprise.

This prince regent was attending court a few days ago. How come he appears here today, dressed as a Taoist priest?

Xiao Che and the others had already changed out of their green robes and were still wearing the blue Taoist robes they had worn when they entered the temple.

Xiao Che looked serious, as if he was still the crown prince who had killed many people in the court. He glanced at Yong'an Marquis and said:

"Today is the morning sun, why are you here? Today is the day when our father is going to court!"

When the other court officials heard this, they hurriedly explained that it was the emperor who asked them to come, and that at today's morning court... the emperor only announced a few things before adjourning.

Xiao Che understood as soon as he heard it. On a day like today, his father could not come to Yunshang Temple, so he must be in a bad mood.

But if you let the court officials come here, aren’t you afraid that Yunshang Temple is too small to accommodate so many people?

But then I thought again and seemed to understand. Was my father worried that there wouldn't be enough believers coming to Yunshang Temple today, so he sent these people to make up the numbers?

There were so many people, and under the atmosphere at that time, as long as they did not have evil thoughts about Taoism, they would be easily infected by the Taoist atmosphere and develop a devout belief in Taoism.

Even if this belief is weak, it is better than nothing.

I just didn’t expect that so many people would come today!

All the families of those who were originally believers of Yunshang Temple arrived, and some even called their friends and notified their relatives, and they all rushed over from nearby.

The common people who came from the capital had become even more devoted to the Dao after experiencing the recent thunderstorm, and most of them came with their entire families.

The benefits that today’s rituals have brought back to these believers are obvious. We are just afraid that even more people will come tomorrow and Yunshang Temple will not be able to accommodate them all.

There are so many people, and they all come here just to join in the fun and seek benefits...it's easy for problems to arise.

There are many people, their minds are complicated, and there are many right and wrongs.

Xiao Che couldn't help but frown in worry when he thought about this, and then looked at his brother beside him.

"Go back and tell Father that the number of believers who came to the temple today is twice as much as expected. There will definitely be more people coming to join in the fun in the next two days, which will easily cause trouble."

"Those who originally didn't want to come, those who didn't believe and only wanted to seek benefits, those who wanted to come here to find opportunities, those who wanted to show their performance to please the emperor, or even those who wanted to do bad things... are not allowed to appear here!"

Xiao Ye was stunned, then asked in confusion: "Brother, you are not going back?"

This is a matter of the Dao Sect. Didn't my brother personally report it to my father? How could such a big task be given to him?

"I won't go back. I need to prepare for tomorrow's ritual. Don't bother to see Junior Master. Junior Master is in seclusion. Don't bother Junior Master for rituals these days."

After Xiao Che finished speaking, he emphasized that these guys did not leave nor were they running around playing in the temple. They were crowded here obviously because they wanted to see their junior master.

He knew that Junior Master-Uncle had long been like an immortal in the hearts of these boys.

But it is impossible to tell them about my uncle’s affairs.

Upon hearing that Junior Uncle-Master had gone into seclusion, Xiao Ye and the others immediately felt discouraged, but they did not dare to say anything. The ritual was important, and they were not fools who could not figure things out.

"Okay, let's go now!" Xiao Ye nodded immediately with a serious look on his face, but when he caught a glimpse of the brothers Lin Haoran and Lin Haoyu wearing Taoist robes, his heart was filled with envy.

After expressing his envy, he couldn't help but reflect on himself. He did have the opportunity to learn Taoism when he was a child.

As long as he is willing to learn, his father will definitely allow him to become a Taoist.

The second brother has a bad luck constitution. He wants to learn but cannot be allowed to do so. However, he loves to play and is unwilling to endure hardships and study...

Now even his fourth and fifth younger brothers have better control over Taoism than him, so he just has a chance of winning in a fight because of his height and strength.

It's a shameful thing to say, especially when he saw Lin Haoyu, who is younger than him, in the ritual team today, he felt really ashamed.

Xiao Ye clasped his fists towards Xiao Che, then bowed to Gu Yifang, Lin Haoran, and Lin Haoyu, then turned around and left.

"Third brother, let's get the steamed buns first. It will take a long time to get back to the capital." Xiao Jian shouted from behind.

"Father, second uncle, please go back. I know you want to see Tang'er." Jiang Yanlang also looked at Marquis Yong'an and Prince Chenghe, and advised them with understanding.

Why do we have to go into the main hall to worship the Three Pure Ones? They just used this reason.

Marquis Yong'an nodded.

But when he looked at Xiao Che, he still asked, "Your Highness, why is Tang'er in seclusion? I heard her voice during the ritual just now. She was very busy with the ritual."

He didn't understand what Taoist rituals were about, he just cared about his daughter.

And she was just named the Princess Protector of the Nation today. How should the Marquisate deal with this matter next? It is impossible for it to be over after the imperial edict is read.

It is still unknown what the situation is at the Marquis' Mansion after the capital knows this news.

Xiao Che looked at Marquis Yong'an, and then at the other court officials who were still surrounding the place with curious expressions.

His expression was calm, and he said calmly: "I know you are curious, how can a mere daughter of a marquis be worthy of being the Protector of the Nation, and how can a little Taoist priest be the Heavenly Master?"

"I can only tell you, don't use your status as a young legitimate daughter as an excuse. Although my junior master is young, she is very powerful and has already reached the level of a Heavenly Master."

"We in Qingfeng Temple practice the Way of Heavenly Master. The Heavenly Master realm is the culmination of practice. If we move up to the next level, we can pursue the Way and become an immortal."

"The Heavenly Master Dao is a worldly Dao, so in addition to the Taoists who practice in the palaces and temples, we also have many Taoists who live at home, such as me, my father, and my junior uncle."

Xiao Che followed the instructions of his junior uncle and advanced several levels in the Heavenly Master Dao to the level of becoming an immortal. The result of becoming an immortal was enough to fascinate countless people.

However, Yuntang's original intention was not to show off, but to spread her strength and reputation. In addition, she shared the power of the death curse to see if she could induce the Fallen Angel to appear.

The Fallen Angel has not appeared yet, probably because he was seriously injured and needed to train, or he was afraid of Qingfeng Temple's strength and the madness of searching for his whereabouts.

As Tenth Senior Brother had been a wandering Taoist priest for decades and couldn't be found, she wanted to see if it was feasible to lure the enemy to show up.

She is such a powerful cultivator at such a young age, she must be the best delicacy for evil spirits.

As long as He dares to show up, with the power of the death curse that she shared from her ninth senior brother, she will surely be able to sense it quickly.

She couldn't wait for the future, so she let Xiao Che release the bait, and at the same time resolve the shock and confusion that the title of Princess Protector of the Nation had brought to others.

Being doubted is nothing, but she is a practitioner and what she needs is the power of faith rather than being doubted, which is not conducive to her gaining merit.

Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Che's explanation, all the court officials gradually accepted this fact.

The secular identity and the Taoist identity are indeed different.

The emperor has been devoted to Taoism for so many years, so the court officials naturally know that the emperor was born in Qingfeng Temple, and Tianji Pavilion is also from Qingfeng Temple. Taoist Yun is a Taoist master who has the power of a national teacher but is not appointed as a national teacher.

The court officials bowed to the Crown Prince and took their leave. Marquis Yong'an and Prince Chenghe looked at each other, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.
