Chapter 60

"You..." The Daoist Priest's face changed drastically. "Could it be that you, a dignified Maoshan Daoist Priest, would actually threaten others with your family?"

"Of course it's not a threat!" Lin Fengjiao shook his head. "Daoist Brother, at your advanced age, it's already time to be doting on your grandchildren. Why insist on seeking revenge out here and leaving your corpse exposed in the wilderness? How about this — this poor Daoist will give you twenty taels of gold, and we'll consider the matter settled. How does that sound?"

The Feng Shui Daoist Priest was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sighed and said, "Daoist Master Lin is truly kind-hearted. Very well, I shall pursue this matter no further. Let it be considered as accumulating merit for my grandson and granddaughter."

Lin Fengjiao smiled and said, "That would be for the best."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted the Feng Shui Daoist Priest.

The Feng Shui Daoist Priest felt a tremor run through his entire body, and his originally withered complexion gradually turned rosy and full.

"All these years you've been cultivating corpse-refining arts, which damaged your body. This strand of true qi is enough to nurse your injuries back to health." Lin Fengjiao withdrew his hand, sighing with deep feeling. "Meeting people like the Ren family — you've been wronged!"

"Daoist Master, your righteousness is truly admirable!" The Feng Shui Daoist Priest shook his head. "I can only blame my ancestors for being too loose-lipped, failing to keep the secret of the Dragonfly-Touching Water treasure ground, which brought disaster upon us. Now that the matter is settled, Li Mou will absolutely never mention this again."

Having said that, he bowed several times toward Ninth Uncle, then strode away.

He even refused to accept the gold that had been agreed upon beforehand.

"Qiusheng, escort the Daoist Master out of town. I fear that Ren family won't let the matter rest!"

"Yes, Master!"

Qiusheng straightened his expression and hurriedly followed after him.
