Becoming the head of Qingyun Temple was her master’s wish for her.
But Yan Ruofei suspects there’s no way her life will ever be “quiet” again.
As the youngest temple head in Qingyun Temple’s history, she is a master of divination, talismans, and sword arts. All she wants is some peace and quiet in the mountains. Then the temple’s bronze coin rings on its own, foretelling an impending catastrophe, and her master’s command weighs on her like a mountain.
She has no choice but to grab a peachwood sword and bring the whole sect’s “deadweight” along:
The steady senior brother is good at trapping enemies and talking sense into them. The ferocious second senior sister likes to blow up both her arguments and her enemies. The charlatan third senior brother always wants to charge an extra five coins after telling someone’s fortune. The gentle fourth senior sister saves people, then sweetly asks if they’d like to sign up for a membership. As for the youngest sister… she’s in charge of being cute and causing trouble.
And so Yan Ruofei’s journey toward clocking out begins with slaying demons:
“Come on. We’re going down the mountain to work overtime.”
They think they’re only dealing with ordinary demons, but before long, they’re swept into a maelstrom that could overturn the world.
The author must be a Taoist priest. He writes really well.
