In the ensuing days, two more people had visited the Zhao Garden.
Like the One-Cottage House, they had guessed that Jing Jiu might have a voice in
selecting the next sect master, and that at the very least, he knew something about it.
The Fruit Formation Temple had broken off their relationship with Green Mountain
because the Yong Zen Master was upset about their action at West Ocean. The visitor
was the Chief Monk of the Net-Perception Temple.
Jing Jiu thought it was redundant to send this chief monk, since everybody knew that
this chief monk and the rest of the monks at the Net-Perception Temple hailed from
Moqiu. It was an act similar to being soaking wet after taking off one's clothes; it was
redundant and unnecessary.
He said directly before the chief monk had a chance to speak, "Not Fu Wang."
The Chief Monk of the Net-Perception Temple departed in disappointment.
