Senior sister, stop working and go home for dinner.

Chapter 52 Senior Sister, Vajra Temple is Not Simple

Feng Xiaolu was taken aback at first, then realized what she meant, her eyes instantly lighting up. She jumped up and began to boast as if listing her treasures: "Yes, yes! Second Senior Sister, look!"

She first pointed to the string of five-emperor coins at her waist that looked antique but actually shimmered with a spiritual light: "These are five-emperor coins that my junior brother 'nurtured' for me; evil spirits dare not approach!"

"The compass has also been 'modified' by my junior brother; its location accuracy for finding qi is more than ten times greater than before!"

"And my exorcising sword..."

"And ink lines..."

Wei Qingyi was stunned for a moment, but she quickly connected the dots with the powerful magical artifacts such as the "peach wood sword" and the "spirit urn".

Wei Qingyi had originally planned to find some time to ask Chen Anran about the so-called "nurturing" and these magical artifacts. So she listened very attentively.

Finally, Feng Xiaolu, hands on her hips and chin held high like a proud little peacock, concluded: "Second Senior Sister, do you still think I'm in danger outside? I'm not bragging, but with my current attire, who could get close to me?"

Wei Qingyi ignored Feng Xiaolu's smugness and turned to ask Chen Anran, "Your 'gentle nurturing'..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Anran didn't keep them in suspense any longer and repeated the same explanation she had given to Feng Xiaolu and Su Wan. As Chen Anran spoke, Feng Xiaolu nodded and agreed with her from time to time.

After listening, Wei Qingyi roughly understood that during this time of spiritual energy revival, their junior brother had also "awakened" a certain innate secret technique that allowed him to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nurture all things.

Even the eldest senior sister, after learning about this, regarded their junior brother as the sect's greatest trump card for revival.

Having cleared up her doubts, Wei Qingyi, like Su Wan, looked at Chen Anran with a serious expression and instructed him, "Junior brother, remember this well: you must never reveal a single word about your 'Nourishment' secret method to outsiders."

Chen Anran nodded and replied, "Second Senior Sister, don't worry, I understand the implications. Apart from our own people, no one else knows about this. I haven't even mentioned it to Lin Xiaoman or Fatty Li."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief. She then looked at Feng Xiaolu and said, "You too, with so many magical treasures on your shoulders, you must keep a low profile when you're out in public."

Feng Xiaolu pouted and said, "Okay."

At that moment, Su Wan returned to the hall, and Fatty Li and Lin Xiaoman also came out of the kitchen and returned to the hall.

Upon seeing this, Wei Qingyi and Feng Xiaolu immediately changed the subject and stopped talking about Chen Anran's secret techniques.

Wei Qingyi asked Su Wan, "Is Xiaoling asleep?"

Su Wan smiled and nodded, then sat down in the main seat. Her gaze swept gently over everyone in the hall, finally settling on the slightly reserved Fatty Li and Lin Xiaoman.

"Please sit down." Her voice was gentle and had a calming effect. "Mr. Li, Miss Xiaoman, are you used to living here? Life on the mountain is austere. If there is any inconvenience, please feel free to speak up."

Fatty Li was flattered and quickly bowed, "I'm used to it! I'm so used to it! Fairy Su, this place is so beautiful, the air is even sweeter than down here! Being able to live here is a blessing I've accumulated over several lifetimes!" He rubbed his hands together, his face full of sincerity, "Fairy, Sect Leader, I, Old Li, am not good at sweet talk. I just want to say that from now on, if there's any rough, heavy, dirty, or tiring work in the sect, please feel free to give me your orders!"

Lin Xiaoman spoke timidly, her voice soft yet firm: "Sect Leader Su, Senior Sister Feng, Sister Wei, Brother Chen... thank you for taking me in. I went astray before, and thank you for giving me a chance to correct my mistakes. I know some unorthodox methods of identifying herbs and rudimentary healing techniques. I can do any miscellaneous tasks the sect needs, such as decocting medicine and tending the herb garden. I promise I will be law-abiding and never touch those evil arts again!"

Seeing their eagerness to express themselves and integrate, Su Wan's eyes flashed with a hint of relief. She said gently, "The Cloud Hidden Sect isn't some large sect with strict rules. As long as we have a clear conscience and work together, that's enough. Since you have this intention, then settle down here. What happens in the future depends on fate and your efforts."

Feng Xiaolu chimed in with a grin, "That's right! Uncle Li, you can take care of the heavy lifting from now on, and Little Man can help me manage that almost abandoned herb field on the back mountain! Our sect is short-handed, and we're just about needing manpower!"

Chen Anran watched this scene, a thought stirring within him. Fatty Li was shrewd and worldly-wise, but after what happened on the plane, he had developed a sense of awe. He might be a good candidate to handle worldly affairs and manage the future agritourism business. Lin Xiaoman had a troubled past and had gone astray, but she wasn't inherently bad and was sensitive to Yin energy. With a little guidance, she might be able to get back on the right track.

However, Chen Anran did not mention the arrangements for the two at this time.

After watching TV and chatting for a while, Chen Anran told Li Pangzi and Lin Xiaoman that it was getting late and they should go home and rest early.

Li Pangzi and Lin Xiaoman left as instructed and returned to their respective rooms.

At this moment, only the four disciples remained in the hall.

A cool mountain breeze wafts in through the newly built windows.

Feng Xiaolu looked at Chen Anran and smiled, "Junior Brother, you haven't answered my question yet."

Chen Anran was taken aback, then heard Feng Xiaolu continue, "When did you become so close to the Vajra Temple?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Anran's smile faded, and he said seriously, "If Third Senior Sister doesn't bring it up, I was just about to discuss this matter with all three of you." He turned his gaze to Wei Qingyi, "Second Senior Sister, your intuition at the Vajra Temple was probably not unfounded."

Su Wan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Chen Anran sorted out his thoughts. He recalled his chance encounter with Master Shi Haisheng at the provincial capital airport. The master seemed to know something about the Yunyin Sect. He was invited to travel on a private plane with him. After arriving in Guangzhou, they received a lot of help from the Vajra Temple. Later, his second senior sister felt that Shi Haisheng's gaze was strange. Then, on the ghost flight, he saw many evil Buddha amulets and a Buddha statue with blood flowing from its seven orifices. He also heard the words "Vajra Temple" from the disciples of Qingya Cave...

"...That's how it is. I always felt like he was helping me, no, he was always helping our Cloud Hidden Sect." Chen Anran shook his head and sighed. "If I hadn't seen what happened on the ghost flight, I wouldn't have suspected him."

Su Wan remained skeptical. "An Ran, is what you said true? Are the eerie Buddha statues and amulets on that 'ghost flight' related to the Vajra Temple?"

Chen Anran said, "Senior Sister, do you think a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't resolve the paranormal events on the plane? The key is that it's too coincidental. Not only is the incident unresolved, but so many Buddhist artifacts have also appeared on the plane." After a slight pause, Chen Anran continued, "Those ghosts kept saying, 'Monk...why are you trying to harm us?'"

After listening, Feng Xiaolu frowned and analyzed, "So, junior brother, you think this 'ghost flight' was caused by the Vajra Temple?"

"That's right."
