5172 Chapter 5172: Xuan Zhi
Just as Master Liaowu was about to speak, Yun chujiu put away the cheeky smile on her face and said seriously, “If you want to deceive others, you have to deceive yourself first. Master, don’t you agree?”
Master Liaowu was shocked and immediately said, “What your disciple said makes sense. I was careless.”
“Master, why did you call me here?”
“I want to remind you not to move around so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
To be honest, sect master Liaowu was really worried about Yun chujiu. This little girl was a troublemaker. If it weren’t for the fact that there was no other way, he wouldn’t have brought her here.
Yun chujiu said obediently, “Master, don’t worry. Your disciple will recite scriptures in the room and won’t cause trouble.”
Master Liaowu was about to give a few more warnings, but someone came to report that someone from the bitter Zen sect had come.
Master Liaowu was not too surprised, but he did not expect the people from the bitter Zen sect to come so quickly.
It was naturally not good for master Liaowu to receive guests in the meditation room. He asked someone to send the people from the bitter Zen sect to a hall in the west courtyard that was specially used for receiving guests.
Yun chujiu followed behind obediently. As the saying went, “Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will win every battle.”She happened to look at the monks of the bitter Zen sect.

Yun chujiu cursed in her heart. These monks said that the four great powers were all empty, but they were actually just as hypocritical. They clearly wished that they could strangle the other party to death, but on the surface, they were smiling like Maitreya Buddha.
An old monk at the head of the bitter Zen sect put his palms together and said to master liaowu, “Amitabha. I believe this is junior brother Liaowu.”
The old monk who spoke was very tall and sturdy. Although there was a smile in his words, it didn’t reach the bottom of his eyes.
Moreover, he addressed Master Liaowu as junior brother. It was obvious that he wanted to suppress Master Liaowu.
Master Liaowu smiled and said, “I am Master Liaowu. May I know how to address this master?”
Before the old monk who spoke earlier could reply, an old monk beside him snorted coldly and said, “Master Liaowu, you are really giving us a lot of face. Why is it that our sect master has wronged you by addressing you as junior brother?”
Master Liaowu’s expression remained the same as he said indifferently, “This junior brother, may I know how to address you?”
The old monk who spoke couldn’t help but choke. He didn’t know whether he should reply or not. This Liaowu was indeed crafty. What should he do?
If he went along with Master Liaowu’s words, wouldn’t he admit that he was a head lower than him? However, if he didn’t go along with him, wouldn’t he slap his own face?
At this moment, the old monk who spoke first smiled and said, “Master Liaowu, My Dharma name is Xuan Zhi. These are my junior brothers, Xuan Hui, Xuan Ren, Xuan Ci…”
Ever since the bitter Zen sect established itself, it didn’t continue to pass down its original Dharma name. Therefore, although it was in the same generation as Master Liaowu and the others, its dharma name was Xuan.
Yun chujiu thought to herself, this Xuan Zhi was really quick-witted. This way, he solved Xuan Hui’s dilemma.
The conflict was temporarily resolved, and both sides sat down.
After a few polite words, Xuan Zhi’s gaze fell on Yun Chujiu.
“This little disciple is the successor disciple of Master Liaowu?”
Master Liaowu nodded. “That’s right, lone. Haven’t you met Master Xuanzhi and the other masters?”
Master Xuanzhi and the others:”…”
Did they hear wrong? This little monk’s Dharma name was… Lonesome?
Master Xuan Hui, the old monk who had been picking on them earlier, immediately sneered. “Your Zen sect is really difficult to explain in one word. Is there anyone who has such a dharma name?”
Master Liaowu felt helpless! This dharma name wasn’t bestowed by him.
