Mrs Tao apologized to Mrs Zuo.
Mrs Zuo nodded with a stiff face.
Mrs Tao's excuse was fair and square, and no one would stop her.
Master Linghu of the Wandering Temple was a revered figure in the hearts of the people of the Junwu Empire, and they worshipped him as if he were a god.
Master Linghu had been a reclusive figure for a long time, and no one knew about him.
Thirteen years ago, when the empire was in danger, he single-handedly stopped Dongsang State's advance and killed the leader of the enemy. That was how he protected the Junwu Empire and its people.
It was said that he could see the past and the future. He was the most powerful cultivator in the Junwu Empire and the most powerful cultivator on the continent!
It was said that …
Anyone who got the first incense stick of Wandering Temple would receive a magical artifact that Master Linghu had blessed. That person would be lucky for the rest of the year and have everything they wanted.
Therefore, everyone fought to the death for the right to place incense on their heads.
The Zuo family did the same.
Mrs Zuo had gone to Wandering Temple countless times to get the first incense stick. She wanted to get it for Zuo Qingluan. As long as Zuo Qingluan could do it, she would have Master Dugu's approval.
With Master Linghu as her witness, Zuo Qingluan would have an important bargaining chip when she married His Royal Highness.
However, she couldn't get it.
How much money had Mrs Zuo given to the abbot of Wandering Temple? The abbot told her the truth. The first incense stick was chosen by Master Linghu himself. Sometimes it was chosen by officials, and sometimes it was chosen by common folk. No one knew the rules.
The second to tenth incense sticks were ranked according to the amount of money donated. With Mrs Zuo's money, Master Linghu managed to get the eighth spot.
Infuriated, Mrs Zuo stormed off. No one wanted the eighth spot.
However, there were plenty of people who did. By the time Mrs Zuo regretted her decision and tried to ask for the eighth spot again, the eighth spot had already been taken.
Mrs Zuo was speechless.
"The first incense stick of Wandering Temple is so effective." In the crowd, Old Lady Gongsun of the Gongsun family said, "My son had a lot of bad luck a few years ago, but somehow he was chosen. After that, he became so smart that he's now the third best student in the military academy!"
Gongsun Jia of the Gongsun Clan was indeed a promising young man with an outstanding cultivation base. However, no one expected that it was because of the first incense stick.
"The first incense stick this year should go to the empress dowager, right? I've heard the Empress Dowager muttering this a long time ago. "
The awkward atmosphere in the Zuo family was forcefully shifted to the topic of the first incense stick in the Wuding Temple. Because of the change of topic, the surrounding atmosphere was no longer as awkward.
With a cold face, Zuo Qingluan left the scene and returned to her Feng Luan residence.
She knew that they were trying to change the subject in order to ease the awkwardness … However, Zuo Qingluan knew better than anyone else that they were looking at her with sympathy and pity in their eyes.
Zuo Qingluan was the superior Holy Maiden, and she was the only one who could sympathize with others!
Feng Wu!!! Zuo Qingluan gritted her teeth and hated Feng Wu even more!
Meanwhile, in Fallen Star Yard.
After taking care of Dugu Menghai, Feng Wu asked them to leave, for it was time for her beautiful mother to take her beauty nap.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Toot, toot, toot —
Everyone looked at the door warily. Was there anyone who wouldn't know what was good for them tonight?
PS: Guess who's outside. If you get it right, you'll win a prize. Hahaha ~ It's the end of the month, time to hand in your ticket ~
