Chapter 933 - 442: Master Qingwei's Recruitment [Subscribe Please]

In the grand hall of the Green Lotus Temple's Sect Leader.

Upon seeing the Green Lotus Jade Token that Zhou Chun had presented, both Master Qingwei and Master Qingling fell silent for a moment.

Master Qingling did not know when the Green Lotus Temple had bestowed such a treasured item upon the Zhou Family, so it was not appropriate for him to speak lightly at this moment.

Master Qingwei, however, did remember why this item was rewarded but had not expected Zhou Chun to produce it now to absolve his crime.

Indeed, as the highest-level treasure bestowed by the Green Lotus Temple upon its forces, the Green Lotus Jade Token served both as a token to absolve crimes and a life-saving treasure.

Unless it was a crime of treason or the unforgivable sin of slaughtering a True Disciple of the Green Lotus Temple, the token could be used to absolve all other offenses.

There was no issue, procedurally, with Zhou Chun presenting the token now to absolve his crime.

As one of the three major forces in Jingguo Country, the Green Lotus Temple certainly could not deny the function of the Green Lotus Jade Token.

If it did, then the Temple would never again receive the sincere allegiance and loyalty of its families, a consequence far greater than acknowledging the efficacy of the Green Lotus Jade Token.

Zhou Chun was the only one present in the Green Lotus Temple, while the rest of the Zhou Family, including the Golden Core Stage Cultivator Lin Hongyu, were scattered in various places.

If Master Qingwei were to deny the function of the Green Lotus Jade Token at this juncture and attempt to silence Zhou Chun, the reputation of the Green Lotus Temple would be thoroughly ruined.

In times of war, once the reputation is tarnished, the ramifications would be severe!

Thus, after a prolonged silence while looking at the Green Lotus Jade Token held high in Zhou Chun's hand, Master Qingwei finally raised his hand to beckon the token to himself.

Caressing the token in his hand, he sighed with a tone of emotion, "It seems that Little Friend Zhou was well-prepared. The last time the Green Lotus Temple issued a Green Lotus Jade Token was decades ago to your Zhou Family. I did not expect the token to return to the Sect so soon!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately knew that he had passed this hurdle.

He did not rise immediately but respectfully replied, "The Zhou Family and I have always kept in mind the significant favor from the Senior Sect; we dare not forget."

Hearing his words, Master Qingwei could not help but look at him meaningfully and chuckle, "Haha, Little Friend, there is no need to remind me. I am well aware of the merits the Zhou Family has accumulated over the years, and I have not forgotten."

With his experience and knowledge, how could he not understand the implication behind Zhou Chun's words?

Previously, during the "Millennium Locust Plague," the Green Lotus Temple gained fame and various benefits from Yang Kingdom due to the pest control method discovered by the Zhou Family, a deed that had never been publicized by the Zhou Family.

Also, during the campaign against the Dragon Transformation Sect, Zhou Chun had been an undercover informant providing crucial intelligence and had made significant contributions, a fact that was also not widely proclaimed.

This time, Zhou Chun had even slain Jiang Zhong, who ranked among the "Primordial Demons' Seven Fiends," a remarkable feat.

If the Green Lotus Temple targeted the Zhou Family over Lin Hongyu's matter now, all these deeds would undoubtedly be exposed.

By then, the reputation of the Green Lotus Temple would likely take a severe blow, and Master Qingwei, known for his "righteous appearance," would not escape that label.

After chuckling and responding to Zhou Chun, he personally gestured with a wave of mana to help Zhou Chun rise.

He then calmly said, "Since Little Friend Zhou and your Zhou Family are willing to vouch for Taoist Friend Lin and wish to use the Green Lotus Jade Token to quell this matter, the Temple Leader and our Sect naturally can look the other way and not hold the Zhou Family accountable."

"However, Taoist Friend Lin does hail from the Dragon Transformation Sect. Even if our Sect can trust Taoist Friend Zhou and the Zhou Family not to pursue her, the situation with the Moon Wheel Sect and the Sunflame Sect might be different. It's well-known that they both have lost many people at the hands of the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators and have deep and unresolvable hatred against them!"

This meant that, although the Green Lotus Temple could disregard the Zhou Family's harboring of Lin Hongyu and would not strike against her.

However, it could not guarantee that the cultivators of the Moon Wheel Sect and the Sunflame Sect would refrain from attacking Lin Hongyu and the Zhou Family after learning of this.

In truth, both he and Zhou Chun knew that his words served more as a threat to Zhou Chun and the Zhou Family.

After all, the Zhou Family was a vassal family of the Green Lotus Temple, and as the saying goes, one does not strike the dog without regarding its owner. If the Golden Core Stage Cultivators from the Moon Wheel Sect and the Sunflame Sect were to act against the Zhou Family, they would certainly notify the Green Lotus Temple first.

Thus, as long as the Green Lotus Temple was willing to protect the Zhou Family, and considering Lin Hongyu was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator who had not taken the lives of any Golden Core Stage Cultivators from the Moon Wheel Sect and the Sunflame Sect, it was highly likely that there would be no issues.

But why would the Green Lotus Temple protect the Zhou Family?

How could the Green Lotus Temple be persuaded to protect the Zhou Family?

That was not within the scope of the Green Lotus Jade Token.

Or to say, unless Zhou Chun could produce another Green Lotus Jade Token to request this favor from the Green Lotus Temple.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chun was not in a position to produce another Green Lotus Jade Token now!

So, there was something to discuss.

Upon this realization, Zhou Chun immediately bowed deeply to Master Qingwei and said, "I am but a fool; I humbly request the Temple Master to enlighten me!"

Hearing this, Master Qingwei lightly smiled and said, "Little Friend Zhou is far from foolish. If I am not mistaken, your Zhou Family chose to reveal Taoist Friend Lin's identity at this time because you are aware of the great war ongoing in the Cultivation World, and it's a critical time for recruiting talent. You are seeking to resolve hidden dangers and openly ascend to the ranks of the Golden Core noble families, aren't you?"

Zhou Chun remained silent, offering no rebuttal.

All were aged foxes who had lived many years; who could truly deceive another?
