Rumors Abound and the Mutated Golden Lotus

Lu Zhou was puzzled. 'What are all these monks doing here?'

Apart from Zhou Jifeng and Pan Zhong, his disciples and the other old men were not present on the scene.

"Greetings, Benefactor Ji." The monks bowed in unison.

Lu Zhou remained silent as he waited for Xu Jing's explanation.

Xu Jing said, "The Heaven Choice Temple has recruited 2,000 new disciples. I've called them over as reinforcements, but the battle had already ended when they arrived. However, they arrived just in time to help with the clearing of the corpses. We're fortunate to have accomplished what was entrusted to us. The foot of the mountain is now cleared."

Lu Zhou nodded when he heard this. He was pleased. It was not a bad thing to have them help out around these parts. He replied curtly, "I see."
