Xin Youtao is now a talisman master. He wears a towering five-fold crown on his head, wide robe, big sleeves, clothes lapels, hems, and other inconspicuous places, embroidered with various patterns with gold, silver and money, such as talismans and more like gorgeous decorations. Such a set of clothes will look a bit ridiculous when worn on most people, but it is just right for the princes in the past.

The only trace left by the Taoist priest's career on him is that his appearance has almost not changed, he is still about twenty years old, and he is as handsome as a bit feminine.

"I heard that you just arrived at Huangjing, why did you run to Wangshan Gymnasium?" Xin Youtao turned around and smiled at the two people walking in, without being particularly enthusiastic or cold.

This is a small living room with complete tables and chairs, an incense burner in the corner, and a few paintings hanging on the walls. The contents are all about the ice and snow of the mountains, cliffs and nebula trees. The brushwork is concise. I can't see it when I first look, but when I look closely, I find it lifelike and vaguely attracts the painting.

"We are going to have a fight at Wangshan Gymnasium and are just about to invite you to come and watch." Mu Xingqiu's tone was more formal.

Chen Hao looked at Xin Youtao seriously, and after a while, he said, "Everyone said you have changed. I want to know, who did you become?"

Xin Youtao smiled politely. After everyone sat down, he said: "The environment is different, so people must change. I am now a talisman master of the Longbin Society of the Imperial Court and the ink-palm messenger beside the chief. I have been with talismans since I was a child. Learning Taoism is just a temporary stopgap. Now I have finally regained my true identity. Compared to casting spells, I am still more accustomed to sacrificing talismans."

Chen Hao didn't think so. He glanced at Mu Xingqiu, who seemed not very interested. He said earnestly: "Xin Youtao, this is Mu Xingqiu and I, your best friend in Pangshan Daotong. No matter what, you can tell us that we will spare no effort to help you. Even the emperor and the chief talisman master must give Daotong some face."

Xin Youtao shook his head gently, "Fellow Taoist Chen said this is wrong. The most important reason why the world is peaceful and the prosperity of mankind is that the Taoist Tong and Longbinhui each have their own duties and do not interfere with each other. Over the past 100,000 years, the two sides have formed countless agreements to regulate every possibility and accident, which does not include anyone giving whom face. I cherish my friendship with you and thank you for your kindness. But I don't need to be a talisman master. This is my dream. For me, for the royal family of Xijie, this is the best result."

Chen Hao was speechless and finally believed that his former good friend had really changed, and he was completely different from the Taoist priest in his memory.

Xin Youtao smiled again, picked up a cup of tea from the table, took a sip, "Please forgive me for being rude. I must do my best when I am in my position. In the past, I was a Taoist priest. Of course, if I want to think about Pang Shan and my practice, I am a talisman master, so I have to think about Longbin, right? For example, both of them were from Yelin Town and were considered subjects of Xijie Kingdom. But after becoming a Taoist priest, wouldn't they also relieve all their obligations to the royal family of Xijie Kingdom?"

Chen Hao said coldly: "You came to see us just to say this?"

"Of course not. We are still friends besides our responsibilities. The Daotong and Longbin Society also need our friendship. After all, the agreement cannot solve all problems."

Chen Hao looked at Mu Xingqiu again and found that he still had no intention of speaking. He stood up by himself, "So, you are here to solve the problem. Just say it, there is no need to beat around the bush. You should still remember the habits of Taoist priests. We don't like to go around."

Xin Youtao was still polite, "Actually it's not a problem. Ding Wei, the Taoist priest of Wangshan here, had a lot of contact with Long Binhui and took away a lot of talisman writing materials from us. As for the materials, Long Binhui is too much, which is nothing. The Taoist priest Ding claimed that he wanted these materials not just for his own use, but for the Demon-Slaying Society. But I remember when I left Pangshan, there seemed to be no Taoist Ding in the Demon-Slaying Society. After all, we are friends. I don't believe in Taoist Ding, but I believe in you two, so..."

"That's right, Ding Wei is doing things for the Demon-Slaying Association. He joined half a year ago." Chen Hao said stiffly, and sat down again.

Mu Xingqiu spoke, still using a more formal tone, "To explain, I do not fully support my practices for fellow Daoist Ding."

Chen Hao was slightly surprised and looked at Mu Xingqiu in confusion. He didn't understand why he exposed the internal differences between the Demon Slaying Association in front of "outsiders". He soon returned to his normal expression. He thought that he was too impatient and had no Taoist priest's demeanor, so he added: "That's right, Ding Wei only represents a part of the Demon Slaying Association. What about you? Who do you represent? Is it the entire Longbin Society or a certain great talisman master?"

"Given the current situation of the Demon-Slaying Association, I think it's better for me to be no one." Xin Youtao said lightly, with his eyelids slightly hanging, revealing the arrogant expression he had when he first arrived in Pangshan many years ago. "We know that the Demon-Slaying Association is not a formal branch within the Taoist dynasty, but just a loose organization spontaneously formed by a group of aspiring people. The purpose of my visit this time is to remind you as a friend that Longbin Club must act according to the agreement. The Demon-Slaying Association wants to get support from us, and it is best to obtain public status. Anyway, this kind of thing cannot be hidden from high-level Taoists. Don't regret it when they get angry."

Chen Hao remained silent, with a trace of fierce light in his eyes. He was Taoist Magistrate Fu Xia now, otherwise he would have pounced on him and punched this strange guy with a fierce voice.

But Mu Xingqiu smiled, as if he was very interested in this reminder. "Thank you very much, Long Bin will soon find that there are no obstacles in cooperating with the Demon Slaying Association, everything is within the scope stipulated in the agreement."

"That's great. What Long Bin wants is such a promise. You two still have to prepare for the battle, so I won't bother you and say goodbye." Xin Youtao stood up and nodded to the two Taoist priests Pangshan, with their expressions unchanged. Chen Hao's fierce light could no longer affect him.

"Don't you leave behind to watch the battle? Of course, as a friend, I don't think this will violate any agreement." Mu Xingqiu also stood up and said politely.

"No, as a talisman master, I'd better forget the past spells as soon as possible. I wish both of you success and that no matter who wins or loses, you can create a career in the Taoist dynasty."

Xin Youtao walked out the door. Chen Hao didn't plan to see him off. He stood there and suddenly asked loudly: "There is someone else in Pangshan, don't you want to meet him?"

Xin Youtao stopped, his shoulders erected slightly, but he did not turn around. After a while, he shook his head slightly, "I didn't see you at the beginning, why should I see you again now?"

Chen Hao looked at Xin Youtao's figure disappearing at the door, and after a long time, he said, "Can you believe this is Xin Youtao? There must be a problem, but he looks sober and doesn't seem to be controlled by outsiders at all... Xiaoqiu, have you used illusions on him? Did you find out what he really thoughts in his heart?"

"I did not use illusion. After all, Xin Youtao is still a Taoist priest, and illusion is ineffective for him."

Chen Hao sat down with a little disappointed, "I thought you were casting spells quietly if you didn't like to talk."

"Haha, sometimes you can see something without casting a spell."

"What did you see?"

"First, Xin Youtao kept saying that he was a talisman master, but in fact he was a Taoist priest. Because of the frequent sacrifice of talisman master, his hands always habitually shrank into his sleeves. Taoist priests wanted to pinch spells and cast spells, and preferred to expose their hands outside."

Chen Hao suddenly realized, "That's right, so the talisman master likes to wear wide robes and big sleeves. Xin Youtao said that he prefers talisman sacrifice. In fact, he has not even recovered his habit of talisman sacrifice. Well..." Chen Hao pondered for a moment, "What else do you see?"

"I also saw that when you finally said that there was another person in Pang Shan who wanted to see him, Xin Youtao was silent for a while, but he was not considering how to answer, but recalling who you were talking about."

"You mean Xin Youtao didn't think of Xiao Qingtao at all?" Chen Hao was deeply surprised, but he didn't see it at all.

"A person who is suffering from heart will unconsciously bow his head and bow his shoulders, but Xin Youtao lifted up, which means he was a little nervous, which means he was thinking about what you mean."

"So he deliberately answered me with ambiguous words, because he was not sure what I was talking about was Xiao Qingtao." Chen Hao stared at Mu Xingqiu for a while, "It seems that you are Taoist Maestro of Fo Xia, and I have just condensed my energy into a pill."

Mu Xingqiu smiled, "That's because I haven't met Xin Youtao for more than five years, and I have received a reminder in advance that Xin Youtao may be affected by magic, so in my eyes everything is evidence, and I can't guarantee that it is accurate."

"No, you're very reasonable. But Xin Youtao is in the realm of Gu Xia after all, and even your thought-mind illusion is ineffective against him. Who can move him in the Longbin Club?"

"I don't know, this matter is in a hurry. Since Xin Youtao came to see us for a test, he will take action in the future and wait until he reveals himself."

When the two returned to the Battle Hall, the audience of other Taoist sects had already arrived. Since this was also a place for combining instruments and discussing Taoism, Taoist priests who wanted to participate in the Battle in a few days would check around carefully and get familiar with the environment in advance.

Most of the Taoists were quiet. Even if hundreds of people gathered together, they only made a peaceful buzzing sound. Only Yang Qingyin was the exception. Seeing Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao walking in, she asked loudly at the other end of the Battle Hall: "Where is Xin Youtao? Why didn't you come together? Xiao Qingtao..."

Chen Hao shook his head and walked away to find Ding Wei. There were seven or eight people around the Taoist priest Wangshan, listening to his soft voice inspiring people.

Mu Xingqiu walked towards Yang Qingyin, and there was a saying that he did not say to Chen Hao: The talisman master in the Longbin Society is not able to control Xin Youtao, what about the other Taoist priest? If the rumors are correct, Ding Wei and Longbin Society have a very good relationship. This person and Shen Jiyi are one of the few priests who swallowed the smoke in the Demon Slaying Society. Xin Youtao did not go to negotiate with them, but asked for an agreement from two former friends. Is this going to cover up?
