"Haha, who would have thought that the last one to come would be the Buddhist disciple? What a coincidence."
"With the presence of the Buddhist disciple, this matter is as good as accomplished!" Yi Chen said with a dry chuckle.
The middle-aged scholar in the python robe must be the commander of the Zhen'An Office, Feng Linsu. It's unknown what price he paid to enlist the aid of the Buddhist disciple from the Great Daguangming Monastery.
"Amitabha, Yi Taoist's strategies are ingenious; earlier, this monk was rather rash," Shen Hui intoned the name of Buddha and returned to calm composure, then, with utmost propriety, bowed deeply to Yi Chen, showing full respect without any trace of haste or agitation.
This scene led Feng Linsu to take another look at Yi Chen; he knew the Buddhist disciple Shen Hui appeared amiable on the surface, but was actually quite proud at heart. To receive such a respectful bow from him, it was clear that Taoist Yi Chengzi had made an impression on him.
