Chapter 158 - 151 Flame Cloud Sect_4
"Old housekeeper, I, Wang Lang, am a man of Jianghu and know very little about the affairs of the Taoist sects. Having not achieved anything since I arrived at the Cen Residence a month ago, I wish to perform well in front of the master this time, and I hope the old housekeeper can give me some guidance,"
Wang Lang said as he discreetly slipped ten taels of silver into the butler Cen San’s hand, then took the initiative to lead the way with utmost eagerness to please.
Butler Cen San weighed the ten taels of silver in his hand a few times before responding with satisfaction,
"Protector Wang is indeed an ambitious man, but you arrived late and are unaware of the master’s dealings with the Taoist Flame Cloud Sect!"
"I would be grateful for your esteemed guidance!"
Protector Wang Lang stopped at the entrance to Xikua Yard, listening intently.
Butler Cen San, with his arm around Wang Lang, pointed to the house where Flame Cloud Sect’s Xie Wenren was staying and explained,
"The Imperial Clan of Chang’an City, as well as the officials’ families, all have intricate connections with both the Buddhist and Taoist communities."
"This is because there are too many rebels in the world today, who seek to win over the hearts of people by assassinating greedy officials to raise their banners in rebellion, and among these rebels are quite a few cultivators."
"For the sake of peace, the powerful officials in Chang’an City secretly collaborate with the Buddhist and Taoist sects, and our master is one of them."
"Think about it, our master, as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue managing the empire’s finances, is naturally a thorn in the side of those rebels. Every time he steps out, he faces risks. To ensure his safety, he recruits Jianghu experts and Taoist cultivators like you to protect him."
