353: Chapter Eleven: Sentient Beings with Emotions 353: Chapter Eleven: Sentient Beings with Emotions The position of Prefectural Governor of Sunshine County was nabbed by Tian Antai, but Jiang Wang’s Green Sheep Town was an actual fiefdom, so it maintained a certain degree of independence.Zhongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wang discussed the current situation at length.

In light of losing the position of Prefectural Governor of Sunshine County, to keep the fruits of war victory to the greatest extent possible, they would need to strengthen control over the Prefectural Governor of Hengyang County.

Huang Yixing was a minister of a vanquished country and had no foundation in Qi Country.

He now belonged to the lineage of Zhongxuan Chuliang and could not easily change his allegiance, which made him reliable.

But nothing is absolute, just like Zhongxuan Zun traded Chong Island for Sunshine County; he would undoubtedly also secretly contact Huang Yixing.

The resources he could mobilize were far greater than those of Zhongxuan Sheng, and changing his stance within the Zhong Xuan Family would carry relatively much less political risk, a point that could not be overlooked.

As for the other prefecture in the Yang Realm, the Governorship of Chiwei Prefecture had been traded to the Jinghai Gao Clan, so there was no need to worry about it anymore.

Even if one wanted to concern oneself with it, the High Clan wouldn’t be willing.

Overall, the division of benefits after the war, due to Zhongxuan Zun’s unexpected interference, had not reached the optimum result but still garnered huge gains; there was really no need to be too dispirited.

As the two of them were speaking, Dugu Xiao entered the outer room again.

By now, she had taken the Channel-opening Pill that Zhongxuan Sheng had conveniently brought along, opened her channels, and officially stepped into the Transcendent realm.

Her steps were much lighter, and her breath was more extended.

Jiang Wang passed on to her the Primordial Formation diagram as a foundational formation.

“Master, there’s another monk outside!

He asked specifically for you,” Dugu Xiao called out.

Jiang Wang felt a headache coming on: “Is it that yellow-faced old monk again?”

“This time it’s a young monk!”

“What’s this about old monks and young monks?” Zhongxuan Sheng was utterly confused.

Jiang Wang briefly recounted the incident where Monk Ku Jue had insisted on taking him as a disciple.

Zhongxuan Sheng immediately narrowed his eyes: “The baldies from the Hanging Monastery are also harboring wild ambitions towards the Yang Realm?”

His first thought was consistent with the possibility Jiang Wang had pondered deeply.

“That’s uncertain,” Jiang Wang shook his head.

“I can no longer be the Prefectural Governor of Sunshine County, so they shouldn’t be entangled with me any longer.

Besides, this new arrival might not be from the Hanging Monastery.”

“Please sit here for a while longer.

I’ll step outside to take a look.”

With that, Jiang Wang stood up and walked out.

“I’ll come with you,” Zhongxuan Sheng also got up quickly, looking quite unwell.

Truth be told, the Hanging Monastery’s eagerness to take Jiang Wang into their fold smacked somewhat of undercutting Zhongxuan Sheng, as Jiang Wang still held the status of a retainer under Zhongxuan Sheng.

If they ran into each other, it would be quite awkward.

The reason Jiang Wang wanted to handle the matter alone was to prevent any unnecessary conflicts between Zhongxuan Sheng and the Hanging Monastery.

But with Zhongxuan Sheng insisting on taking a look, Jiang Wang couldn’t well stop him.

In the reception hall, a rather handsome young monk sat upright.

His monk’s robe was washed spotless, and even his shaved head shone clean.

Without turning his gaze aside and wearing a gentle smile, he got up and brought his palms together as soon as he saw Jiang Wang approaching, showing proper respect and manner.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he caught Jiang Wang off guard.

“Little junior brother, your senior brother is here to see you!”

Indeed, it was a monk from the Hanging Monastery!

And judging by his manner, he was also a disciple of that Monk Ku Jue.

Jiang Wang profusely said, “This monk should not shout nonsensically, I am not your junior brother.”

“How can I not be?” The handsome monk became anxious.

“Master already told me all about it!

How can it be false?”

“What exactly did your master tell you?” Jiang Wang had a splitting headache.

“It’s ‘our master’, junior brother,” the handsome monk corrected.

“Our esteemed master has already settled for you a Dharma name, called ‘Jing Shen’.

As for me, I am now ‘Jing Li’!”

Jing Shen?

Jiang Wang’s brows twitched uncontrollably, “Your master must have misunderstood, I neither wish to become any kind of monk nor do I desire any ‘purification’!”

“Why not?” Monk Jingli asked curiously, “Master said, ‘To send a goose a thousand miles is a gesture of profound sentiment and respect!’.

Brother Jingli, brother Jingshen, how nice!”

Something seemed off, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it at first glance.

Jiang Wang was somewhat frantic.

It wasn’t that his temper was so good.

Firstly, the reputation of the Hanging Monastery was intimidating, and secondly, this monk had been courteous throughout, adhering to the adage about not slapping a smiling face…

Ah, spit!

To hell with not slapping a smiling face.

Jiang Wang bellowed, “This has nothing to do with why your master chose such names, but the fact that I, fundamentally, do not wish to be a monk at all!”

Monk Jingli shrank his neck and blinked his eyes, looking aggrieved as he said, “Jingshen brother, how can you yell at your brother?”

“You are not my brother, and I am not your disciple,” Jiang Wang countered weakly, then suddenly had an idea that rejuvenated his spirit, “That’s right, the position of the governor of Sunshine County has been decided as Tian Antai!

Tell your master to hurry up and find him; isn’t he eager to take on disciples?

Hurry up, hurry up, don’t hold up your master’s business!”

“Why should our master look for Tian Antai?

What does it matter if he’s the governor or not?

Master has said, ‘Fame and fortune are fleeting as clouds!'” Monk Jingli was somewhat solemn, “Brother, can’t you see through it all?”

“I can’t see through it,” Jiang Wang said in a deep voice.

Jingli scratched his bald head, “That’s not right, master said you were quite perceptive…”

“Master said, master said!” Zhongxuan Sheng, who had been watching the drama unfold, finally couldn’t take it anymore and blurted out, “And who exactly is your master?”

“Amitabha, you generous patron,” Monk Jingli replied politely, “My master’s dharma name is Ku Jue.”

Zhongxuan Sheng mused, “You think something’s not right, could it be possible…”

“that your master is a charlatan and you’re a fool and you’re both spineless b*stards?”

He rattled off the latter part swiftly, causing Monk Jingli’s eyes to widen in shock.

“How…

how can you insult someone?”

“Oh, maybe I wasn’t precise enough,” Zhongxuan Sheng said with an apologetic smile, “Only your master is a spineless b*stard, and you don’t even qualify for that.

You’re an unweaned young spineless b*stard.

All day long, it’s ‘master said, master said’!”

Dugu Xiao, who was standing inside the room, almost laughed out loud but managed to suppress it with great effort.

Monk Jingli’s face had turned red as he looked at Jiang Wang and said, “Jingshen brother, this man is insulting your master and your brother!

Outrageously disrespectful!”

This monk differed in style from his master, but both were similarly persistent in their annoyance.

Jiang Wang advised, “If you stop calling me brother, I’ll make him stop insulting you and even apologize to you.”

Jingli thought it over briefly but apparently felt it wasn’t acceptable.

He turned back and glared at Zhongxuan Sheng for a long while before saying, “You’re not allowed to insult people anymore!”

Zhongxuan Sheng feigned surprise, “When have I ever insulted you?”

“Just now!” Jingli said huffily, “You called me an ‘unweaned young spineless b*stard’!”

“Let me ask you, are all beings equal?”

Jingli was upset, but still replied, “Of course they are.”

“Then do young spineless b*stards belong to all beings?”

Jingli answered, “All sentient beings in this vast world are considered to be living creatures.”

“If that’s the case, then why did you feel I was insulting you when I called you a young spineless b*stard?” Zhongxuan Sheng purposefully mimicked his earlier mannerisms and scratched his head, “Could it be that you’re above it all, looking down on sentient beings?”
