"It happened out of sheer coincidence. I was at Mount Long Pass when I ran into the monks of Daluo Temple. With a bit of acting, I managed to convince them to help me out. They went ahead and apprehended the monster, giving me a chance to retrieve the Qiao family's heirloom, that wooden plate," Incense Master Chu explained.
"However, what happened next exceeded my expectations. That Lin Jin had powerful monsters working for him! There was also Curator, who was able to overpower Daluo Temple on his own. I heard that one would be able to recognize Curator by his beast pattern mask. Hmph! Ever since Daojun's rise to fame half a millennium ago, so many people have tried to mimic him. I bet Curator's part of the same camp as these phonies!"
One could easily hear how pleased Incense Master Chu was with his 'slyness' and 'brilliance'.
