Chapter 88: Donglai Taoist Priest and Li De
The Donglai Taoist arrived at the entrance of the temple dedicated to Laozi, He silently pondered in his mind: My master has not settled in the Wenshi Taoist Temple for the past few years. He has traveled all over the country in search of the second volume of the lost Tao Te Ching. He has not been to the Louguantai Taoist Temple for six years. He must have come here to take Li Changsheng to the Wenshi Taoist Temple. My own cultivation has not made any progress. My master must have been extremely disappointed with me. I know that I have no talent. Since my cultivation will not succeed, But a person's life is too short, I should let myself live happily.
The Donglai Taoist sighed and thought, " I just found an excuse to run away. Master must be unhappy now.'. Li Changsheng is currently playing with the girl from the Shen family dressed as a man. If the master knew that Li Changsheng had been traveling with girls these days, he would definitely not be happy. I should go and persuade Li Changsheng to settle down early and study Taoist martial arts seriously with master."
After thinking about it, Donglai Taoist took a few deep breaths to make his expression appear calm. He tidied up his magnificent and splendid Taoist robe, and his face showed the devout expression of a professional religious figure. Then he slowly walked into the temple and said, "Hello Mr. Li! Didn't you go out today to enjoy the scenery of Zhongnan Mountain? Mr. Li donated so much money to my Taoist temple last time, and I never knew how to express gratitude."

Li De was about to unleash his evil fire, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Taoist Dong Lai had transformed from a playful and subdued image to a natural and indifferent demeanor. Dong lai's posture was not inferior, and he became the leader of the first sect of Taoism. His temper couldn't break out. Li De said with a gloomy face, "Today is already the third day, and Li Changsheng is still with Shen Ziyu. How can you explain it to me?"
Dong Lai, the Taoist priest, solemnly patted his chest and promised, "Please be a little patient. What I said is that Li Changsheng will disappear from Shen Ziyu within three days. Although today is the third day, it hasn't passed yet?" He personally came over to make tea for Li De and his four attendants and chatted with them. After drinking tea, the Donglai Taoist priest offered to be a guide again, asking them to travel to several main halls, but was politely refused by Li De.
As the saying goes, You don't hit a smiling person. Taoist Dong Lai is so humble and kind that Li De can not lose his temper. He said:" I'll come again tonight." Then he took his entourage to a brothel in nearby Zhouzhi County.
Donglai Taoist arrived at Li Changsheng's resting room and knocked on the door to find Shen Ziyu drinking tea inside. Donglai Taoist smiled and said, "Younger martial brother, this is your first time visiting Louguantai Taoist Temple. As the host here, I should entertain the guests well. Although Louguantai Taoist Temple is located in a remote suburb, there are still some places worth visiting. Let me take you to take a look！"
Li Changsheng smiled awkwardly and said, "You manage such a large Taoist temple and so many Taoists, and you have to deal with many things every day. You don't have to delay your daily work for me." Li Changsheng said to himself, "It seems that I can't escape from you!"
Donglai Taoist just smiled and said, "It's okay, it won't affect my daily work! Please come with me!" Then he took the two of them out together.
