Chapter 1824 - 327:

Lin Fu'an: "Someone, help Ah You to the inner room to rest, quick!"

Inner room.

Lin Shuyou was half-lying, half-sitting in the center on the Taishi Chair.

Below were two rows of temple elders sitting.

Ah You's mother brought a bowl of sobering soup, feeding her son little by little with a spoon.

Lin Shuyou woke up and smiled at his mother.

The sobering soup had little effect; his drunkenness could only be overcome by his own will, but as soon as he opened his eyes and looked down below,

Grandfather, Master, Martial Uncle, Martial Peers, Father...

All sat carefully below, in the same posture, half-bent, glancing sideways, looking up at him.

This was indeed a novel perspective.

For a moment, Lin Shuyou's mind started wandering again. Surely, the drunkenness lingered.

After several forceful blinks, he wondered why everyone was in this posture.

Child: "Hic... Because they need to meet your eyes."

Lin Shuyou: "Hic... Am I that short?"

Child: "Hic... Look at how you're sitting right now."

Only then did Lin Shuyou realize and pushed himself upright against the armrests; the elders below also straightened their backs.

"My bag..."

His mother brought the bag forward. It was quite heavy; fortunately, Lin Shuyou's mother was strong; an ordinary person couldn't lift it.

Lin Shuyou took out a bottle from the bag, swallowed a few pills, then drew out a Heart Clearing Charm, sticking it on his own forehead.

Child: "Phew..."

Ah You: "Phew..."

The drunkenness was finally suppressed.

Seeing that his grandson was fully sober, Lin Fu'an leaned to the side and asked:

"Ah You, do you want to discuss it privately first?"

Lin Shuyou: "No need, Grandfather, how is it outside?"

Lin Fu'an: "Those three aren't dead but are crippled. What I worry about now is the temples behind them. Although those temples aren't large and lack manpower and divine registries, that was in the past. Now... there's no guarantee that the temples supporting those three aren't the strongest."

Lin Shuyou: "They provoked us first, so don't blame us for merging those three temples first. Grandfather, you should arrange people to handle it later."

Lin Fu'an: "Uh..."

If Ah You had said he would go himself, Lin Fu'an would have no issue, but to let the temple people go...

Chen Shoumen: "Ah You, you might not be aware of the current temple situation. We have enough people, but there's a shortage of divine hands..."

Ah You's father: "Yes, otherwise, we wouldn't have been bullied by those three people at their doorstep."

Lin Shuyou: "It's all right; we'll soon have enough divine hands in our temple."

Lin Fu'an: "Ah You, that one... do you have a way?"

"Yes." Lin Shuyou extended his finger, pointing ahead, "Grandfather, first set up a Divination table here."

"All right, then what?"

"Then..."

Lin Shuyou hesitated, but this was Brother Xiao Yuan's instruction; he could only comply:

"Then, all Lin family members in the temple must bow to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Lin Shuyou scratched his head, quite embarrassed, and said:

"I have no choice; it's part of the process we must follow."

Chen Shoumen: "Ah You, this temple was initially planned for you to inherit; you're more than capable of being the temple master now, so I think..."

Lin Shuyou: "Master, you don't have the surname Lin; you don't have the qualification to bow."

Chen Shoumen: "..."

"Tap tap tap!" Lin Fu'an tapped the ground with his cane, "Didn't you understand Ah You's words? All with the surname Lin here, come and prepare to bow; those without, go outside and arrange for the young Lin members to queue up outside, hurry up!"

Quickly, two-thirds of those present left their seats.

Including Chen Shoumen, who was carried out.

Although this temple is known to outsiders as the Lin Family Temple, Lin Fu'an doesn't limit it to just one family and surname. Lin Shuyou's father couldn't surpass Chen Shoumen in talent, so Chen Shoumen is the temple master of this generation.

Quickly, only the Lin family elders remained in the room, those with blood ties to Lin Shuyou.

The True Monarch System relies on bloodlines as its foundation.

Before Lin Shuyou marries and has children, to develop... he has to seek upwards.

Lin Fu'an: "Ah You, do I, your Grandfather, also need to bow?"

Lin Shuyou: "Grandfather doesn't need to bow."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fu'an didn't feel relieved but rather asked, "Does not bowing mean there's nothing?"

Although he didn't know what they might receive specifically, Lin Fu'an understood that his grandson and the one supporting him wouldn't act randomly.

Lin Shuyou: "Yes, then there will be nothing."

Lin Fu'an: "Then I will bow, let me be the first!"

With that, Lin Fu'an leaned on his cane and stepped in front of Lin Shuyou.

Lin Shuyou's feet involuntarily lifted, his body turning to the side. The image was still something he couldn't adjust to.

Child: "Let me do it; this way, you'll feel better, and so will they."

Lin Shuyou immediately agreed.

In the next moment, Shuping was activated, and the True Monarch's pressure descended.

The White Crane True Monarch sat upright behind the offering table, enhanced by the incense smoke, adding a divine aura.

"Those who wish to become my True Monarch's disciples, step forward and kneel in succession!"

Now, the Lin family members below also felt relieved.

Lin Shuyou's father wiped his face forcefully with his sleeve.

Lin Fu'an didn't let anyone support him, firmly squared his pants, and knelt towards the White Crane True Monarch:

"Greetings, True Monarch, please grant your blessing!"

White Crane True Monarch:

"Once under my presence, if you encounter evil spirits harming the mortal world, you may call my name!"

Lin Fu'an felt a warm current flowing through his blood, making his previously severe injury seem lighter.

Once Lin Fu'an stood up, the rest all followed suit, following the same way.
