Chapter 2608: Chapter 2609: Turning the Tables on the Enemy
Upon hearing the police say this, Liu Peng’s heart leaped with joy.
This way, I won’t have to get beaten up.
“Co, let’s talk over here,” Lin Yi said cheerfully:
“No matter what, I’m still their senior, so they have to give so face. Otherwise, I’ll lose my authority in front of them.”
Not giving them much ti to consider, Lin Yi called them to the side and then took out his credentials.
“We’re all on the sa side here, give so face.”
…
anwhile, although Liu Peng was beaten to a pulp, he felt secretly proud.
He’s gotten himself into such a state, adding insult to injury. Five years won’t be enough, he’s over-achieved his mission.
Thinking about the injuries now, it’s no big deal.
A few minutes later, the three of them returned.
Liu Peng’s posture seed a lot straighter, waiting for them to take Lin Yi away.
“Since you’ve resolved this matter privately, write a reconciliation agreent by hand, then both parties sign and fingerprint it, and this matter is considered resolved.”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Peng was stunned, unable to react for a long ti.
What’s going on, this was not how the script was supposed to go!
“Officer, I’ve been beaten like this, how can it be considered resolved?”
“Didn’t you say you fell yourself, why are you now saying you were beaten?” The policeman said sternly:
“Are you joking with us!”
“No no no, I don’t an that, I’m just…”
“You’re just what? You admitted yourself that the injuries were from falling, and said you wouldn’t pursue it further. What more do you want to say?”
“This…”
Liu Peng was dumbfounded, filled with grievance but unable to express it, almost ready to cry.
Soon, Zhuang Xiaoyun wrote a reconciliation agreent by hand, and then both signed and fingerprinted it, perfectly resolving the matter.
“You’ve signed the reconciliation agreent, this matter ends here. We’ll be leaving now.”
The two policen didn’t linger either and left with the reconciliation agreent.
“Both our Taoist temples are on Longhu Mountain, we should communicate and visit more often. Don’t leave,” Li Yongnian said.
“I, I have other matters to attend to, let’s talk about communication later.”
After saying that, Liu Peng dashed off, afraid of getting beaten again.
“Junior brother, I really didn’t misjudge you,” Zhang Youfu said:
“Actually, with my abilities, helping you resolve this is easy, but I wanted to test you. You did well, your future is bright.”
“Thank you eight generations of ancestors.”
“Senior uncle, you’re truly bold and skilled, to even have him concede in defeat,” Zhuang Xiaoyun said, patting her chest, “I nearly died of fright just now.”
Lin Yi chuckled and said:
“After this incident, I suspect the people from Zhengyi Temple won’t dare to cause trouble again. Let’s just focus on preparing for the temple fair.”
“What about you?”
“I plan to go ho, see the wife and kids.”
“Okay then, take care, senior uncle.”
Lin Yi nodded, ready to leave, but just as he was about to go, Zhang Youfu stopped him.
“Junior brother, don’t rush off yet.”
“Is there sothing else?”
“I’ll escort you out.”
Lin Yi frowned slightly, sensing Zhang Youfu had more to say, and nodded in agreent.
The two headed outside the Blessed Land Gate, Zhang Youfu said earnestly:
“Junior brother, your skills are excellent, but you’re too quick to act violently; that’s not good. One must be calm and composed to understand the greater path.”
Lin Yi didn’t say anything. Zhang Youfu had said similar things before, just not as bluntly as today.
“I understand what you an.”
“Are you eager to get ho?”
“Not too eager.”
“I want to take you to a place that might be helpful to you.”
“Okay.”
They arrived together at Shangqing Town at the foot of the mountain, where Lin Yi saw a vast vegetable garden ahead.
With the eve of spring, nearby farrs were already tilling the soil and sowing seeds.
“Why bring here?”
“This vegetable garden belongs to Shangqing Palace. Almost everything we eat cos from here.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi finally understood.
“No wonder the vegetarian dishes are so tasty; they’re all purely organic.”
“That’s right.”
“So why bring here?”
“I, your senior brother, want to teach you how to cultivate yourself. Be patient in being and doing, or you won’t see the larger path.”
“You don’t an to have farm, do you?”
“Your comprehension is indeed high. Follow the farrs nearby, turn the soil over and learn to sow seeds. This is an invaluable experience in participating in the entire process of nurturing myriads of life. You must understand your senior brother’s good intentions.”
“So, I have to learn to till the soil and sow seeds before I can go ho, right?”
“Yes, this is the test your senior brother has left for you.”
“Alright.”
“Go ahead.”
The two of them went their separate ways; Zhang Youfu was also preparing to head back.
“Daoist Master, you’re here.”
Just stepping out of the vegetable garden, a swarthy man approached.
His na was Wang Xiaodong, hired by Zhang Youfu as a foreman.
His main task was to connect with people and help Shangqing Palace farn the land.
“You ntioned before that a worker was not well and went ho to retire. Today, I’ve brought you soone to help till the land until the sowing is done; you won’t need to hire anyone else.”
“No need, as long as soone can help, that’s fine.”
“Then that settles it,” Zhang Youfu said:
“I’ve organized everything here, I’ll be heading back first.”
“Alright, Daoist Master, take your ti.”
After chatting a few words, Zhang Youfu left.
But upon returning to Shangqing Palace, he received a call from Wang Xiaodong.
“Daoist Master, the person you brought is incredible.”
“Hmm? Incredible in what way? Did he start a fight with you?”
“You’re mistaken, I an his farming skills are superb,” Wang Xiaodong said appreciatively:
“When I first saw him, I thought he was too delicate to do anything, but it turns out he’s an excellent farr. Not only did he teach us how to quickly till the land, but he also showed us efficient sowing techniques, greatly improving our work efficiency. Truly not sothing everyone could manage.”
“Ah?”
Zhang Youfu was dumbfounded, never expected that Lin Yi had such skills.
“Don’t doubt it; I’m telling the truth,” Wang Xiaodong said:
“He ntioned he used to farm before and even went to the Agricultural Science Academy for specialized study, so he’s really professional.”
Zhang Youfu: …
“Daoist Master, there’s one more thing I have to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“After teaching us how to till and sow, he left, taking all the stored vegetables and pork along, so now that new vegetables haven’t grown, we have to spend money to buy them.”
“Damn it!”
Zhang Youfu’s blood pressure nearly spiked, “Didn’t he leave anything?”
“Yes, his car couldn’t fit everything.”
“That’s good, that’s good.”
“But he hired a logistics team to ship it all, so nothing was left behind.”
“Damn!” Zhang Youfu swore, “Truly shaless!”
