Upon seeing this, Zhang Deming paused again. Under the watchful eyes of the trio, a vine extended, took the Protective Talisman, and placed it on the tea table. "Well then, I thank you for your kind gesture, Master," he said.
The old monk Fuyuan replied, "It is nothing more than the Karma Technique at work."
After he spoke, he turned his head away again. The scholar, Gu Donglin, gave Zhang Deming a puzzled glance before turning to look at the old monk with an inscrutable expression.
Zhang Deming didn't hear a word of the ensuing conversation. 'A textbook case of getting what you want and then pretending you don't know the person.'
Just then, the Law Enforcement Team patrol arrived. Seeing this, the strange trio walked over to them. The scholar, Gu Donglin, stepped forward, and the entire patrol treated him with great respect.
A moment later, the trio, the Law Enforcement Team, and a nun all vanished from the street.
