Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 12, The Visit of Jieyin and Zhunti to Wuzhuang Temple

As evening fell, the barrier outside Wuzhuang Temple began to stir. Zhen Yuanzi was the first to sense it and calmly walked out.

After using his supernatural powers to investigate, Hongyun also became curious. There shouldn't be any other innate beings with high cultivation levels on Wanshou Mountain now, so he couldn't figure out who it was. He then went out with Zhen Yuanzi to take a look.

The two men outside the door were dressed in rags and looked distressed; their two gleaming heads indicated their identities.

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at the two men and then cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, fellow Daoists."

The two men returned the greeting with clasped hands: "Greetings, fellow Daoist. My fellow disciples and I come from Mount Sumeru in the west, which is adjacent to this mountain. We have come to pay our respects."

Although Hongyun utterly despised the despicable behavior of Jieyin and Zhunti, since they had just met and had no grudges against each other, she naturally couldn't be impolite and so she also bowed with her hands clasped.

My name is Jieyin.

My name is Zhunti.

Jieyin and Zhunti introduced themselves by name, but did not reveal their origins.

Seeing that Hongyun was unwilling to speak, Zhen Yuanzi briefly introduced the two of them: "I am Zhen Yuanzi, and this is Fellow Daoist Hongyun, who is cultivating here with me."

Jieyin said, "It is truly an inconvenience. My brother and I originally intended to visit our neighboring Daoist, but we sensed a profound fluctuation of spiritual energy, which immediately made us feel refreshed and invigorated. After calculating with our fingers, we realized that there was something here that we were destined to have, so we came here specifically to request an audience."

Hongyun was speechless. Wasn't this the famous "This item is destined for me" and "Fellow Daoist is destined for the West"? He knew that he would experience this when he transmigrated into Hongyun, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Moreover, the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity has not yet arrived, and the Western Spiritual Vein should still be intact. How come the two of them are dressed in tattered clothes?

Zhen Yuanzi was also completely bewildered.

Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi didn't know how to refuse, Hongyun asked directly, "Fellow Daoist, is your divination technique perhaps practiced incorrectly?"

"We are also beings born of nature, with a slightly higher origin than you two fellow Daoists. We never knew that there was a method of divination that could predict whether something in another person's home was connected to us!"

They only care about things that are destined for them, they have no shame!

"This..." Jieyin paused for a moment.

[Ding! 10 points of anger have been credited to your account]

Zhunti immediately replied, "This vast Dao is mysterious and profound. How can we know that all things in the world have owners? My fellow disciples and I have only come to pay our respects to you. Whether we are destined to meet or not, we have not yet seen each other. Why should you be so concerned?"

Hongyun was still in shock from the system's announcement. So that's how you get anger points. Then the guide was angry just now.

Only ten points? That's too stingy!

"No, we have to try again." Hongyun's eyes flickered, and she added, "This Wuzhuang Temple is the residence of Zhen Yuanzi. I have calculated that Wuzhuang Temple is not destined for you two fellow Daoists. Please forgive me!"

[Ding! 50 points of anger have been credited to your account!]

Hongyun's eyes lit up; these two are such good people!

"This Wuzhuang Temple is so magnificent, I wonder if it's the Daoist temple of Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi or Fellow Daoist Hongyun?"

Zhunti seemed to be gritting his teeth, implying that Hongyun was meddling in other people's business and overstepping his bounds.

In Zhen Yuanzi's view, Hongyun was an overly familiar person, but not very bright. Otherwise, she wouldn't have approached him so readily upon their first meeting and even moved into Wuzhuang Temple without any hesitation. There must be a reason why the overly familiar Hongyun is so disgusted by Jieyin and Zhunti.

Furthermore, there's a subconscious sense of order in people's lives. In Zhen Yuanzi's mind, compared to Jieyin and Zhunti, Hongyun was naturally one of his own. Regardless of any doubts, he had to help Hongyun first.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun has always been blessed with good fortune, and must surely be proficient in even more profound divination arts. For the sake of both of you, it would be best to avoid Wuzhuang Temple!"
