Chapter 688.1: Can't Take Every Conceivable Possibility into Account - Part 1
After a few cups of alcohol, Chen Chao brought up the matter of Glaze Temple to Yun Jianyue.
Yun Jianyue frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I've heard about it before as well. Glaze Temple is not an orthodox daoist sect. The temple had sent people to investigate before, but nothing came of it. So it was the Chief Enforcer secretly obstructing the investigation."
Chen Chao smiled. "They've been committing atrocities under the banner of your Infatuation Daoist Temple. I'm afraid many sects in the foreign lands already loathe them but hold back because of their connection to Infatuation Daoist Temple. Otherwise, how could they have tolerated them?"
Yun Jianyue said, "A tall tree attracts the wind. After so many years, not everyone in the temple has been single-mindedly cultivating. There are plenty of dirty dealings that simply can't be brought into the open. Who knows how much has gone on in the shadows?"
Yu Xiyi, who had been silent all this time, chuckled. "At least you're an honest little ox-nosed daoist."
Yun Jianyue was indifferent to the remark. He just glanced at Chen Chao and said, "Even after the Chief Enforcer dies, I won't be able to set things right within the temple in a short time. It will have to be a gradual process."
A sect that had operated for years would inevitably develop problems. But even when those problems were discovered, one could not just carry out sweeping reforms. After all, this was the foundation of generations. If the cuts were too deep, the entire sect could be thrown into turmoil or even collapse entirely.
Chen Chao laughed. "It's the same as governing a country. Didn't His Majesty also spend over a decade patiently laying the groundwork for the current situation?"
Yun Jianyue shook his head. "I am far from His Majesty's level."
