Initially, Master Zhenyuan indeed detained Jiang Liu and his companions at Wuzhuang Temple, seizing the Buddhist Sect's weak point, and he could negotiate conditions with them at leisure.
However, now, seeing Jiang Liu and his companions perfectly content to stay in Wuzhuang Temple, showing no desire to leave, even leading astray his two Taoist Boys, Mingyue and Qingfeng, Master Zhenyuan's complexion looked somewhat unsightly, and he couldn't help wishing they would leave as soon as possible.
"Could this be Tathagata's scheme, purposefully allowing this scripture-seeking party to come and corrupt the customs of my Wuzhuang Temple?"
Even such a thought flitted through Master Zhenyuan's mind, and the more he considered it, the more likely it seemed.
