Ten days later, the Abbey Dean of the Changling Temple had returned. Martial Uncle Ling Wu brought Shen Ping and the two Daoist children out to welcome them. The temple master of Changling Temple had white hair and a youthful face. He was wearing a Daoist robe with two rows of flying cranes. Behind him were the other disciples. The group of people had solemn expressions.
They exchanged a few pleasantries. Temple Master Chang Ling's gaze landed on Shen Ping. "You must be Ling Zhen."
Shen Ping hurriedly bowed and said, "Disciple Ling Zhen greets Master."
After bowing, he followed closely behind the Abbey Dean and Martial Uncle. They arrived at the Ancestral Hall.
