"Greetings to Great Success Abbot!"
"Greetings to Great Success Abbot!"
"Greetings to Great Success Abbot!"
As Great Success Abbot appeared, just as he finished speaking, all the surrounding Shaolin disciples, including the Eighteen Arhats, knelt down and performed a grand salute.
"Rise, everyone." Great Success Abbot raised his hand and smiled.
Only then did the Shaolin disciples stand up, all looking at Great Success Abbot with respectful eyes.
However, there was also some confusion in their eyes.
Because when Great Success Abbot appeared, he said you guys lost terribly!
You guys!
He was clearly referring to the Eighteen Arhats!
After all, in the earlier battle, there was only Ye Qiu fighting alone.
This puzzled the present Shaolin disciples; in the previous battle, Ye Qiu was beaten until he was covered in bruises, so how did the Eighteen Arhats lose?
After a moment of silence, suddenly a Shaolin disciple gathered his courage and said, "Abbot, did you mean the Eighteen Arhats lost?
But what we saw wasn't like that at all; the entire time, that young man was suppressed and bullied. The Eighteen Arhats were really excessive, they not only used Heaven and Earth Net against that young man but also formed the Eighteen Arhats Array, and in the end, they even started reciting the Daluo Heart Scripture excessively!"
"That's right, Abbot, the Eighteen Arhats truly embarrassed Shaolin, you must punish them!"
"Exactly, it was just a friendly competition, yet they didn't know when to stop."
With one Shaolin disciple leading, more disciples joined in to support Ye Qiu and demand justice.
Not far away, Zhao Chunxue couldn't help but laugh, looking at the Eighteen Arhats, saying, "You guys, you really make me laugh, definitely the best and also the most pathetic sparring partners of the year!"
"Shut up!" The leading Arhat glared at Zhao Chunxue and then, with a bitter face, walked up to Great Success Abbot and complained, "Abbot, don't listen to their nonsense, we are innocent, we are wronged, we feel bitter!"
"We started with Heaven and Earth Net actually not thinking Ye Qiu could defeat us at all. But we never expected that guy to be so abnormal.
Not only could he easily counter Heaven and Earth Net, he even treated us like a whetstone... Abbot, everything I say is true."
"Monks do not lie, I know you're telling the truth."
Great Success Abbot nodded slightly, then smilingly looked at Ye Qiu.
All the surrounding Shaolin disciples, including Zhi Cheng and Xi Bing, were dumbfounded.
What is this situation?
Oh heavens!
The truth is actually like this!
In the previous battle, Ye Qiu, who seemed to be on the losing side all along, was actually using the Eighteen Arhats?
Treating the Eighteen Arhats like a whetstone?
This... this strength is too terrifying, too abnormal!
The Shaolin disciples certainly didn't think the Eighteen Arhats were lying, especially now that the Abbot acknowledged it, saying monks don't lie, and seeing Zhao Chunxue laughing so hard he nearly rolled on the floor, they completely believed it.
"That kid is really too wicked, making us worry for half a day!"
"Exactly, worrying for nothing!"
"I thought the Eighteen Arhats had gone mad and were bullying people, but it turns out this guy was bullying people!"
Knowing the truth, the monks all turned angry eyes toward Ye Qiu.
Of course, it was a playful kind of anger.
Ye Qiu demonstrated his strength and didn't injure the Eighteen Arhats, proving he not only had power but also great tolerance!
This made almost all the Shaolin disciples recognize Ye Qiu, naturally not holding any grudge or anger for the earlier matters.
Great Success Abbot ignored those Shaolin disciples, stepping forward to Ye Qiu, smiling: "Ye Qiu, right? So young, such talent makes this old monk take notice. How about we..."
Just as Great Success Abbot was about to say something, suddenly Zhi Cheng brought Xi Bing running over, and excitedly said: "Abbot, don't believe them, these two guys are not good people. Earlier, outside the Great Hall, they wanted to topple the Buddha statues, and after Brother Xi Bing stopped them, they even injured him. Abbot, you must not let them go!"
"Is this true?" Abbot looked at Ye Qiu, smiling.
Ye Qiu stood straight, releasing an aura of righteousness, strongly saying: "Abbot, you are an elder, I respect you and would certainly not lie to you, I assure you everything they say is false!"
"That's right!" Zhao Chunxue also stepped forward confidently: "That bald donkey called 'Xi Bing' isn't anything good, collecting protection money from us outside. My brother taught him a lesson, then he wanted to ambush my brother, pushed a pregnant woman, almost causing a miscarriage, and later found that idiot and teamed up to bully us. I assure you, everything I say is true! If false, let thunder strike!"
"Can a bald donkey like you be called 'Xi Bing'? Xi Bing is so delicious, do you deserve that name?" Zhao Chunxue looked at Xi Bing with disdain.
His words almost infuriated Zhi Cheng and Xi Bing.
Xi Bing?
Idiot?
Such blatant insults!
"Just wait!" Monk Zhi Cheng glared at Zhao Chunxue and then continued to Great Success Abbot: "Abbot, please don't listen to their nonsense, you are the Great Success Abbot. Whether in Shaolin Temple, throughout Yu Province, or all of Huaxia, you have high prestige and should be respected by all, wherever you go, people should kneel before you.
But these three, their behavior upon seeing you was incredibly impolite; they didn't even bow, let alone kneel. How could what they say be true?"
Zhi Cheng's words were really naive.
Among Ye Qiu and the other three present, who needs to kneel to Great Success Abbot?
What are their identities?
Demon King Ye Qiu, Huaxia Military God, Guardian of Huaxia!
Zhao Chunxue, the only direct disciple of the old Daoist!
Monk Duren, heir of the Shao Family, Hidden Clan!
These three, regardless of identity, are equal to Great Success Abbot!
"Hehe, I've always said, when you see me, there's no need to kneel or salute, but you all don't listen..." Great Success Abbot shook his head repeatedly, then looked at Ye Qiu, continuing: "Today, I didn't see the sequence of events, I'm not clear about right and wrong, but I have a solution: how about you and I exchange palms, see the result, and then I'll discern truth from falsehood. What do you think?"
"No problem!" Ye Qiu readily responded, eager to measure palms with Great Success Abbot!
