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

Chapter 1097 Have you no shame?!
The Taoist in the long robe rolled his eyes inwardly.

If he weren't still injured, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand the combined attack of these people if he had turned on them directly.

The Taoist in the long robe really wanted to grab these people by the collar and ask them if they had any shame left!

The butler, who had been hiding under the bed, finally figured out the situation based on the conversation between the Taoist priest in the long robe and the others.

A nameless fire suddenly welled up in his heart. That was the Divine Envoy, the Divine Envoy of noble status!

These guys actually treated the Divine Messenger as someone they could summon and dismiss at will.

"My master won't come. It's already a miracle that he's given the people of Lotus City a glimmer of hope. Don't push your luck!"

The butler crawled out from under the bed, his tone extremely cold.

If it weren't for the many injuries on his face, his imposing presence might have been even stronger.

The Xuan Master who came here with them was completely focused on the Taoist in the long robe.

I hadn't even noticed that there was someone hiding under the bed in this small hospital room.

At this moment, a new person suddenly appeared in the ward, speaking so rudely that it really startled the Xuan Masters.

"You...who are you!"

The leading Xuan Master took a careful look at the steward—well, he was someone he didn't recognize.

However, the fact that this person could stay with the Taoist priest in the long robe suggests that his identity must be somewhat significant.

The butler was no ordinary person; he was able to stand out at the Wang family manor and become a target for those men in black robes.

He could tell what these people were thinking at a glance.

He snorted again, "Heh~ Who am I? Didn't you all keep saying you wanted my master to help you? Who do you think I am!"

The butler said this without the slightest hint of guilt.

He was originally a spy under the command of the Divine Envoy (the man in black robes), so it's not wrong for him to say that Yun Ran is his master.

The leading Xuan Master glanced at the steward, then at the Taoist in the long robe.

Upon realizing that the Taoist in the long robe did not intend to refute, he immediately understood that what the man said must be true.

“This…this brother, Lotus City is in such great trouble now, your master…”

But before he could finish speaking, the butler interrupted him.

"We were just passing through. If we hadn't been injured and needed to rest here for a while, my master might not have made a move."

As you all know, the situation in Lotus City is complicated, and I'm sure you also know the magnitude of the cause and effect involved.

"You keep insisting that my master should intervene, then what's the point of having you Xuan Masters? Don't be so ungrateful after getting the benefits!"

The butler heard very clearly what happened to the town that had experienced a similar situation.

The divine messenger has already made his move once.

Those talismans have bought Lotus City a lot of time; now it's up to the people of Lotus City to figure out the rest.

Others might not know the Divine Messenger's style of doing things, but how could these spies not know?

So far, only this divine messenger (Yunran) has some kindness.

The other divine messengers truly treated human lives like ants; they wouldn't even consider saving someone, let alone finishing them off.

Therefore, we must not let these people anger the divine messenger.

Otherwise, everyone in Lotus City, including him, would truly have no way to survive.

However, the Xuan Masters present were completely unaware that while the steward was protecting Yun Ran, he was also preventing them from making a foolish mistake. After the steward finished playing the good cop, the Taoist in the long robe spoke up at the opportune moment: "Gentlemen, it's not that I don't want to help, but that I can't."

That master is not a kind person; if we force ourselves to seek help from him…

The Taoist in the long robe didn't say anything more, only hinting at it.

But everyone present clearly understood the meaning behind those words.

This principle is similar to how these people usually hold high positions of power.

If you see a decent junior, it's perfectly normal to offer them a small favor.

However, if that junior is completely ignorant of the rules and doesn't understand what it means to be tactful...

Just because she gave him a nice look, he became obsessed with wanting more.

Then, they will not only stop giving this junior a friendly look, but they will also directly express their dislike and bring him back to his original state.

"Everyone, I have done what I can. As you can see, my injuries have damaged my very essence, and I can't be of any more help."

Having said all that, the Taoist masters who came looking for the long-robed Taoist priest couldn't afford to make a fuss any longer.

Of course, they also want to turn against each other, but they need to have the means to do so.

The Taoist in the long robe clearly had some powerful figure backing him up, so they still had to give him some face.

Especially when they saw that the expert's subordinates were clearly on the same side as the Taoist in the long robe.

What can they do?
After a few breaths, the leading Xuan Master suppressed his irritation and forced a smile.

"excuse me."

After saying this, they left the clinic's premises.

Only after their figures had completely disappeared did the Taoist in the long robe finally exhale a breath.

Just now, he was only putting on a brave face. Now that there were no outsiders around, the Taoist in the long robe felt a chill run down his spine.

He muttered to himself, "How could this happen..."

But soon, the Taoist in the long robe came to his senses and began searching for the net bag that the little paper figure had given him.

Yunran clearly had an extra talisman paper.

The net bag was quickly found, and inside were a few lonely-looking talismans.

The Taoist priest in the long robe took out the talisman paper, pulled out a talisman from it, and handed it to the steward who was still frowning.

"You also have one. Although I don't know the specific function of this talisman, since it was given by the divine messenger, it should be specifically designed to counteract the current situation."

The butler reached out and took the talisman, carefully putting it away as if he were about to enshrine it.

"What exactly is going on? Is it really that sinister?"

Although the butler had taken all of what was said to heart.

However, truly understanding is another matter entirely.

The Taoist in the long robe didn't know what to say, as he wasn't quite clear about the situation.

"I'll go out and take a look!"

At this time of year, the staff at the clinic are usually busy, either organizing medicinal herbs in the backyard or preparing other items for the day.

But at this moment, the clinic was very quiet.

Whether they were senior doctors or apprentices, they all looked at the sky outside with some unease.
