"Dear Daoist friends, is what Hui Ming said the truth?" Elder Hall Master Shi's expression became serious as he looked at Shen Luo and his companion.
"Elder Hall Master Shi, you are mistaken. The reputation of the Golden Mountain Temple reverberates far and wide, respected by people all around the world. We two would not dare to disrupt your temple's Dharma Assembly. We were entrusted by others to deliver this Treasure Canopy to Elder Zhe Shi of your esteemed temple. That's why we didn't hand it over to the Purple-robed Master earlier. We ask for your understanding." Shen Luo quickly composed a response, intentionally raising his voice a bit as he spoke.
The worshipers nearby heard the voices and cast their gaze over, murmuring among themselves.
