Daoist Longchuan looked to Lu Yuan, wanting to know if he would insist on standing up for this uncle he had never met.
Since Lu Yuan knew he was the one who had caused this mess, he had no reason to wash his hands of it.
Inside Guyang Temple, Su Liyan was exercising great restraint. She couldn't revert to her true nature and stir up trouble inside the Daoist Temple.
Her mother had forbidden it. Besides, these Daoists usually helped common people by exorcising evil spirits.
Instead of backing down, Lu Yuan advanced, pushing against the Elder's coercive aura as he walked forward, step by step.
The Elder thought, 'Some people truly don't know their place. So what if he's a County Magistrate? He's so young. He probably got the position by selling someone—or something—out.'
Seeing Lu Yuan draw closer, the Elder intensified his aura, creating what felt like a wall of wind between them to block his path.
