Chapter 17: The Sweeping Monk: What happened to the fawning

"Amitabha!"

Before the Shaolin Shanmen, the crowd of Wulin figures was completely dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at Abbot Xuanci, then looked at the group of high monks before the Shanmen!

Heavens, the Shaolin Temple has gone mad!

The Shaolin high monks actually don't want any face at all!

Many Wulin figures sensed something amiss and silently retreated behind the others.

Meanwhile, seeing that Abbot Xuanci finally stopped acting recklessly, Xuanji also breathed a sigh of relief.

With him and his senior brother the Abbot around, the rise of Shaolin was just around the corner!

Just as the crowd of Wulin figures was being blocked at the Shanmen.

On the other side, inside the Scripture Depository, Qiao Feng, Xiao Yuanshan, Murong Bo, and Murong Fu were already locked in a fierce battle.

Yet, just as the four were entangled in an endless struggle, a plain-looking sweeping monk walked out.

In just a few moves, he subdued everyone.

Only at this moment did the Shaolin high monks who had set off from the Shanmen finally arrive.

"Since when did such an expert appear within our Shaolin Temple!"

The hurriedly arrived Xuanci and Xuanji watched as the sweeping monk defeated Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo with a wave of his hand, and could not help but feel secretly shocked.

Although their own strength had greatly increased, they still could not do it with such ease and grace.

However, at the thought of the delicacies within the Immortal Realm, Xuanci and Xuanji relaxed again.

Abbot Xuanci and Xuanji, feeling secure and having nothing to fear, just watched silently from the side.

Inside the Scripture Depository, the sweeping monk’s gaze drifted from time to time toward Abbot Xuanci and the others.

Eh, strange, why haven't the Shaolin Abbot and the others come over yet?

He had been cultivating in the Scripture Depository for decades, and today was his first time making a move, yet there was no audience?

Damn it, how is he supposed to show off like this!

Thinking of his decades spent sweeping the floor in the Scripture Depository.

The sweeping monk felt that today was the day he would become famous throughout the Wulin!

But Abbot Xuanci, Xuanji, and the others were just watching from afar; what was to be done!

No, there must be an audience!

Thinking of his decades of cultivation, the sweeping monk felt that appearing like this was truly a bit beneath his status.

Glancing at Abbot Xuanci and the others not far away, the sweeping monk tapped his foot and stood between Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo.

"Amitabha, two benefactors, this is the interior of my Shaolin Temple; it is not appropriate to commit such murder here!"

Having said this, he channeled his massive internal energy, and with one palm, the sweeping monk separated Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo.

Then, the internal energy in his palm erupted, pushing Murong Bo’s body directly toward Abbot Xuanci on the other side.

Abbot Xuanci, who had been watching, saw Murong Bo suddenly sent his way, frowned slightly, sensed something amiss, tapped his foot, and retreated directly.

The group of Shaolin high monks following him, seeing Xuanci do this, all retreated a few steps as well.

In an instant, the landing Murong Bo erupted with internal energy and charged over again.

"Junior brother, this sweeping monk’s internal energy is truly profound; we had better be cautious!"

Seeing that a single palm could force Murong Bo to this extent, Abbot Xuanci was secretly shocked and spoke to Xuanji beside him.

This sweeping monk’s cultivation base was above theirs.

It was better to lie low for now, go to the Immortal Realm a few more times, taste more delicacies, and then come back to talk to him!

Not far away in the Scripture Depository, the sweeping monk heard this and was so angry he nearly vomited blood.

Cautious? Cautious my foot!

He had been in Shaolin for decades; don't think he didn't know about those sordid affairs of yours, Abbot Xuanci!

When you were having a tryst with a woman in a cave, did you ever think about being cautious!

Bah, this Shaolin Abbot is truly shameless!

"Senior brother is absolutely right!"

He had expected that the other Shaolin high monks would arrive one after another upon seeing trouble in the Scripture Depository.

As it turned out, Xuanji beside Abbot Xuanci nodded in agreement and led the group of high monks to retreat even further.

Such a scene left the sweeping monk dumbfounded!

Damn it, what is wrong with this Shaolin Temple?

Are these still the Shaolin high monks he knew?

Didn't you see that people are fighting here in the Scripture Depository?

As Shaolin high monks, shouldn't you come to protect the Scripture Depository?

Can you have any shame left?

Abbot Xuanci leading the high monks to retreat left the sweeping monk completely stunned.

However, watching Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo attacking him, the sweeping monk merely sighed, then with a wave of his hand, subdued both of them!

Bringing them into the Scripture Depository, after a series of flashy operations, the sweeping monk finally made Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo reach a great awakening, let go of everything, and enter the void gate!

Originally, the sweeping monk had intended to display this scene before the Shaolin high monks.

But alas, that group of high monks was truly shameless and cowardly.

The operation the sweeping monk had pondered for so long was completely wasted!

Not far away, seeing that everything was over, Abbot Xuanci and the others slowly approached.

But on the way, Xuanji still frowned slightly, secretly transmitting his voice to keep everyone alert.

There was no help for it; this sweeping monk was truly too strange.

If he were a member of Shaolin.

Then it would be impossible for Abbot Xuanci and the others not to know his nickname!

Moreover, with the other party having been in the Scripture Depository for decades with heaven-defying cultivation.

He actually watched idly as Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo stole Shaolin secret manuals from the Scripture Depository!

He even indulged the two of them in causing chaos within the Shaolin Temple!

Given all this, if it were Xuanji, he would have subdued the two long ago!

How could he possibly have let them live until today!

It could be said that the sweeping monk’s sense of belonging to Shaolin was truly too low!

"Amitabha, greetings, Master!"

Abbot Xuanci slowly arrived and bowed to the sweeping monk.

Although the other party’s attire was merely that of a menial monk, his internal energy and Buddhist cultivation were enough to deserve the title of Master.

"Why does the Abbot offer such a greeting? This old monk is here in the temple to be at the service of all you Masters, and cannot accept such a great courtesy!"

The sweeping monk glanced at Abbot Xuanci and likewise bowed with palms pressed together.

In his heart, however, he was secretly astonished.

It had only been a few days, yet Abbot Xuanci’s cultivation had actually improved significantly.

Furthermore, his internal energy was steady and balanced, and his spirit was full.

It did not look like he had practiced any crooked or evil arts!

For a moment, the sweeping monk could not quite understand Abbot Xuanci.

"Master’s Buddhist cultivation far exceeds our own; you are worthy of Shaolin’s utmost respect!"

Looking at the sweeping monk, Abbot Xuanci felt it was better to win him over for now.

If not for the delicacies of the Immortal Realm, Abbot Xuanci and the others, seeing such an expert as the sweeping monk in the temple,

would definitely have knelt and fawned over him without hesitation.

But having already witnessed the wonders of the Immortal Realm, Xuanci and Xuanji’s attitude toward the sweeping monk became indifferent.

Even if this sweeping monk’s cultivation rivaled that of Bodhidharma!

Xuanci and Xuanji would not be overly surprised!

After all, with that Immortal Realm, he, Xuanci, and Xuanji would inevitably surpass Bodhidharma!

On the other side, the sweeping monk, having finished the pleasantries, was squinting his eyes, waiting for Xuanci and the others to fawn over him.

As a result, he saw Abbot Xuanci offer a perfunctory, lukewarm remark, and then... nothing?

At this, the sweeping monk was dumbfounded!

Hey, hey, hey, he is the sweeping monk of the Scripture Depository!

An existence with cultivation unparalleled in the Wulin, rivaling Bodhidharma!

Is this the attitude you have?

What happened to the fawning you promised?

Director, these two aren't following the script!
