Skilled in managing a house

Shangguan Ning immediately smiled and nodded, and said: "Two senior brothers, are you here, the Master?"

"Yes, yes." A Taoist priest said with a smile.

Shangguan Ning followed him to the door of Jingtang and knocked lightly a few times. Yuan Zhenren's voice soon sounded inside, "Come in!"

Shangguan Ning opened the door and could see Master Yuan sitting in the middle of the quiet hall.

Behind Yuan Zhenren, on the left and right sides, stood Ren Jie and Ren Ting, who had just joined the team. On the futon that Master Yuan set his hands on, sat two of Master Yuan's disciples, Shao Wenjie and Wang Wenqian.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord, my disciples pay homage to their master." Shangguan Ning bowed directly first.

"Xiao Ning, what's the matter with your sudden arrival?" Yuan Zhenren said gently.

"Returning to the Master, Master, there is an acquaintance at the foot of the mountain. He said that Zhang Zhenren, the leader of Wudang Taoist Temple, came to pay homage to the mountain and ask to see Master." Shangguan Ning said.

"This..." Upon hearing this, Master Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly, as if he felt guilty. She subconsciously glanced at Shao Wenjie and Wang Wenqian who were sitting on her left and right, and said: "Zhang Yu must have just come back. He is coming to pay homage to the mountain now because of what happened yesterday. How do you two think you should reply to him?"

"Master, this disciple thought that it was Wen Qian who came forward at that time. Wen Qian should continue to come forward this time and explain the truth to Master Zhang." Shao Wenjie said immediately.

This matter was originally handled by Wang Wenqian without consulting her as a senior sister in advance. She was just trying to please her master. Moreover, Shao Wenjie did not know whether this matter had been discussed with Master Yuan beforehand, but her feeling was that Wang Wenqian was most likely the one who made the decision at the time, and Master Yuan finally acquiesced to the matter. In other words, they agree to suppress Wudang Taoism.

At this moment, Shao Wenjie could see clearly that Zhang Yu had come to investigate and seek an explanation. The master seemed to be embarrassed to face Zhang Yu head-on, and this matter had nothing to do with her, so she definitely couldn't take the lead, so she could just blame it on Wang Wenqian.

Wang Wenqian followed up and said: "Master, Master Zhang's coming this time must be about what happened yesterday. There is no problem if the disciple comes forward, but the disciple's status is limited, and I am afraid it will not be equal to Master Zhang. It is up to the disciple to come forward to receive him. , I’m afraid it’s disrespectful.”

Master Yuan nodded and said: "Well, let's just say that I suddenly had an epiphany last night and am currently in retreat. Wenjie is responsible for all affairs in the palace. Wenjie, take Wenqian and Xiaoning to take care of you. The teacher will give you a good reception."

"Yes, Master." Wang Wenqian said immediately.

"Yes, Master..." Shao Wenjie felt unhappy, but Master Yuan had said so, so she could not say anything else and could only agree.

At that moment, Shao Wenjie, Wang Wenqian, and Shangguan Ning came out of the quiet hall together. Shao Wenjie called the Taoist Zhike in front of him and said that he would first invite Master Zhang to serve tea at Pinming Zhai, and she would arrive soon.

After hanging up the phone, Shao Wenjie looked at Wang Wenqian who was walking beside her, and said calmly: "I don't know the specific reason for this matter. It's up to you, junior sister, how you will explain it."

"Sister, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion. Besides, the seal awarding ceremony has ended, so we can't hold it again." Wang Wenqian said calmly.

"Just be sensible." Shao Wenjie said calmly again.

If the master hadn't asked her, the senior sister, to come forward, it would have been impossible for Shao Wenjie to see Zhang Yu. After all, this matter has nothing to do with her. If she doesn't handle it well, she might have to take the blame along with Wang Wenqian. After handling the matter, all the credit goes to Wang Wenqian, which is a typical example of thankless efforts.

The three of them went to Pinmingzhai together, and when they arrived at the place, two little Taoist priests were standing outside Pinmingzhai to serve them. When the two young Taoist priests saw the three people coming, they quickly bowed in greeting. Shao Wenjie nodded and stepped into the hall.

In the tea tasting room at this moment, a young Taoist priest wearing white Bagua fairy clothes was already sitting in the guest seat, with refreshments placed next to him. Naturally, this young Taoist priest was none other than Zhang Yu.

Shao Wenjie and Wang Wenqian also wore the same white Bagua fairy clothes, which was Shangguan Ning's apricot Taoist robe.

"Zhang Zhenren, I didn't know that Zhenzhen was here, but I missed the welcome from afar, so I hope you'll forgive me." Shao Wenjie took the lead in clasping his hands.

Zhang Yu had already seen that the people coming in were Shao Wenjie, Wang Wenjie, and Shangguan Ning, but not Yuan Zhenren.

He could immediately guess that Yuan Zhenren must be a little guilty and embarrassed to see him. Originally, Zhang Yu and Baimei Gong had a close relationship and helped each other, and Zhang Yu helped Baimei Gong more.

This time, the White Eyebrow Palace suddenly suppressed Wudang Taoist Temple, which was inevitably a bit unjust.

It stands to reason that Zhang Yu should call Master Yuan a pleasant name. Shao Wenjie, Wang Wenqian, and Shangguan Ning are all Zhang Yu's peers and should at least be called Senior Sister. The other party greeted him first, and Zhang Yu should also get up and return the greeting.

However, Zhang Yu did not stand up, but said calmly: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, it turns out to be Senior Sister Shao. Pindao came today to pay homage to Senior Uncle Yuan."

He almost didn't tell Shao Wenjie directly, I'm here to see Master Yuan, what are you doing here?

Shao Wenjie smiled and said: "Zhenren Zhang, my master suddenly had an epiphany last night and decided to stay in seclusion for a few days. The affairs of Baimei Palace will be temporarily handled by Pindao. Pindao is also the vice president of the Taoist Association. What's going on with Zhenren Zhang? , just tell me."

After saying this, she walked directly to the main seat in the middle and sat down.

Wang Wenqian and Shangguan Ning also kowtowed with Zhang Yu, were polite, and then sat down opposite Zhang Yu.

The little Taoist priest who was in charge of waiting at the door immediately came in to serve tea, then went out and closed the door of Pinmingzhai.

Zhang Yu was not polite. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. After putting down the teacup, he said directly: "Senior Sister Shao, yesterday was the day of the Seal Instruction Ceremony. I was not in Zhenhai because of my busy schedule, so I did not attend. I returned at night. Taoist temple, I learned that I am not a disciple of the Taoist temple. I only taught Chuzhen disciples, and did not teach the Zhengyi Alliance's prestige sutras and seals. My disciples all submitted Dharma letters, but they were not recognized by the White Eyebrow Palace. For this reason, I am very sad. I don’t understand, so I came here to find out.”

"So this is what happened..." Shao Wenjie, who was sitting in the middle seat, immediately looked at Wang Wenqian, who was sitting on one side and on the other side, and said, "The person in charge of reviewing the Dharma letter is Junior Sister Wenqian. I don't know how to deal with this matter. I’m really not sure. Junior Sister Wen Qian, what exactly is it and what’s the reason? It’s up to you and Master Zhang to explain it.”

"Zhenzhen Zhang, you didn't go to the White Eyebrow Palace that day, so you don't know much about this matter. After you came back, you may have been deceived by your disciples, so you came to ask for an explanation. In fact, our White Eyebrow Palace handled this matter in accordance with the regulations. , there is absolutely nothing against the rules. Everyone knows that Baimei Palace and Wudang Taoist Temple are in the same spirit, and I am too late to take care of them, so how can I deliberately create difficulties." Wang Wenqian said with a smile.
