The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1048 A Sense of Belonging (2nd Update)
Xin Fu was still thinking that perhaps, like everyone else, he would be unable to enter the interior of Qingfeng Temple.

Others might not know what was happening, but he knew that the protective array of Qingfeng Temple had been activated.

He had seen a portion of it before, but he didn't know what would happen if all the formations were activated.

What Xin Fu didn't know was that the moment his foot touched the protective array of the mountain...

A flash of light appeared on his body so quickly that he didn't even notice it.

"Huh, how did I get in here?"

Xin Fu's body was half outside the protective mountain formation, and the other half inside.

Therefore, at this moment, he could clearly see the sign at the foot of Qingfeng Temple.

This discovery surprised Xinfu somewhat.
He took a step back, and the sign disappeared, replaced by a lush forest.

Take another step forward, and the sign appears again.

Then, he also saw the winding mountain road that Qingfeng Temple had built at great expense not far away.

Xinfu: ...

So, their Qingfeng Temple's protective mountain formation actually covers such a long distance?
Moreover, it seems to have limited effect on him.

This discovery immediately eased Xin Fu's previously tense mood somewhat.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his previous solemn expression disappeared.

"It seems the mountain-protecting formation can recognize its own people."

The thought of being one of their own inexplicably made Xinfu feel much better.

Even the steps I took to keep moving forward felt much lighter.

This feeling of being recognized and included gave Xinfu a completely different sense of belonging.

Xinfu quickened his pace, eager to see the people from Qingfeng Temple as soon as possible.

Normally, it would take several hours to walk up the mountain, but Xinfu appeared in front of the Qingfeng Temple gate as quickly as possible.

He was slightly out of breath, looking at the main gate of Qingfeng Temple, which remained as calm and peaceful as ever.

There was no sense of urgency as if we were under siege.

Xin Fu took a deep breath to calm himself down, then straightened his clothes.

With the mindset of returning home, I stepped into Qingfeng Temple.

"Second Steward, you're back!"

Hearing the familiar greeting, Xin Fu looked at the person cleaning not far away and nodded.

There are also many ordinary people at Qingfeng Temple who take care of miscellaneous tasks.

However, these ordinary people refer to those who are not members of the Xuanmen sect; it does not mean that their abilities or status are ordinary.

They were all people trusted by Yun Ran, and most of them were transferred from the Yun Group.

Seeing that these people were unaffected, Xin Fu was immediately relieved.

God knows, what he feared most was not the people besieging him from the outside.

The fear is that these people inside might be influenced and cause chaos from within.

It seems that those who were recruited by the abbot have a very good mindset.

After the potential danger was eliminated, Xin Fu quickly began to inquire about serious matters.

Have the abbot and the chief steward returned?

Yunran is the abbot, but also a hands-off manager. Ginseng Fruit is the chief steward, in charge of everything, while he is the second-in-command, in charge of external affairs.

At this moment, Xinfu wanted to know whether the abbot, who was said to have disappeared, had returned after such a big incident.

The person cleaning shook their head: "Neither the abbot nor the head steward have returned, but the abbot's junior uncle is here."

Xin Fu was momentarily dazed upon hearing the words "Junior Martial Uncle." Although he had never met the mysterious Junior Martial Uncle, he had heard Ginseng Fruit mention him.

"I see!"

With that, Xinfu quickly headed towards the backyard.

That was the place where the members of Qingfeng Temple lived.

Without even asking, he knew that the mysterious Master Huaiyi lived in the backyard.

Xin Fu left in a hurry and naturally did not see that the man who was cleaning had a gun at his waist, as well as a very simple-looking magic weapon.

If anyone actually rushes up, these people who were originally selected by Yun Ran from the bodyguard team will be the main force of the fighting force!

Most of them had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so the scene before them was rather troublesome.

But for them, it wasn't a big deal, so there was no reason for them to panic.

When Xin Fu arrived at the backyard, before he even stepped into the backyard, he felt a very oppressive force.

This power terrified Xin Fu.

But while he was alarmed, he also felt more at ease.

Xin Fu stopped at the door and bowed deeply: "Xin Fu greets Master Huai Yi."

It was only the people from Qingfeng Temple who could do this. If it were anyone else, let alone make Xinfu bow down, it would be difficult to even make him lower his head.

Upon hearing the sound, the junior uncle withdrew the oppressive aura he had been releasing.

"come in!"

Xin Fu was slightly surprised to hear that the voice of this Master Huaiyi was very young.

When Xin Fu finally saw his junior uncle standing in front of him, he couldn't hide the shock on his face.

They probably didn't expect that the person who could become the abbot's senior uncle would be so young.

The man before me, Master Huaiyi, was not just young; he exuded an aura of tranquility and serenity.

If he hadn't personally witnessed Master Huaiyi in the backyard of Qingfeng Temple and felt that powerful pressure, he would have been completely different.

He would genuinely believe that this was a refined and cultured schoolteacher.

Xin Fu quickly lowered his eyelids, not daring to look directly at this Master Huaiyi.

The fact that one can control one's power to this extent, reaching a state of complete simplicity, is no simple feat.

"You are Xinfu?"

Upon hearing his junior uncle's words, Xin Fu bowed again: "In reply to the True Immortal, I am Xin Fu."

Junior Uncle glanced at Xin Fu and knew that this man was not bad.

He has a clear and upright gaze; although his strength is not great, his talent is quite good.

If he had been properly nurtured from a young age, his cultivation level would be more than twice as high as it is now at this age.

Junior Uncle knows Yun Ran's eye for talent; even if someone's personality isn't perfect, their character won't be bad.

"Well, this is a gift for you. Do your job well from now on!"

Upon hearing these words, Xin Fu sensed something rushing directly towards him.

He instinctively reached out and caught it, and then he saw a Bagua mirror that didn't seem particularly special.

But before he could ask, his junior uncle continued, "Go and rest."

Xin Fu quickly bowed again: "Yes, Master, Xin Fu will now take his leave."

Once outside the backyard, Xin Fu finally looked at the Bagua mirror in his hand.

He had a premonition that this was an extraordinary magical artifact.
