Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 294: 3 out of 5!

The word "no" immediately stunned the high monks.

The blue-robed monk couldn't help but get angry.

“Zhou Tanyue, we agreed to give you a peach, and you picked it. How can you go back on your word?”

Zhou Wei, however, remained calm and composed, saying, "What you all are saying is truly laughable. Did you give me a peach? This peach is clearly rightfully mine."

"So what if I went back on my word? I'm just like you monks. Everyone says that monks don't lie. But you? You've blatantly deceived me."

The monks were speechless, and Zhou Wei kept using the excuse that everyone was deceiving her to shut them up, leaving them with no room for further words.

At this moment, the abbot spoke again: "So, what does Benefactor Zhou wish to do?"

Zhou Wei pointed to the peaches on the tree, "I want another peach, as compensation for the trick you tricked me into giving me."

"That's outrageous!"

"It's utterly absurd."

“The abbot cannot agree to her request.”

Several high-ranking monks spoke up to stop her, not wanting to give Zhou Wei another peach.

The abbot looked at the group and asked, "If we don't share her, what will happen to the peach tree?"

Zhou Wei, also hanging leisurely on the tree, watched the group and urged, "You guys need to discuss this quickly, my patience is limited! If you don't want to give me another one, then none of you will eat peaches."

Seeing Zhou Wei about to break the tree branch again, the monks became anxious.

"Do not destroy the peach tree; do as you say."

Hearing the sounds of the others gritting their teeth, Zhou Wei smiled.

"Zhu Qi, go to the meditation room and call Mr. Tan and Jiang Zao over."

Zhu Qi nodded, and without asking why, turned and left.

The blue-robed monk said, "Benefactor Zhou, the area behind the mountain is a forbidden area of ​​Kongshan Temple. The fewer people who know about it, the better..."

Zhou Wei interrupted him: "Isn't the so-called forbidden area just because of this peach tree? If the peach tree is gone, the forbidden area will naturally disappear. Doesn't that make sense, Master?"

His words left the blue-robed monk speechless.

The monks exchanged glances and all felt that Zhou Wei was difficult to deal with, as she was sharp-tongued and exceptionally skilled.

This kind of person is impossible to win over, and you can't argue with her either; there's really nothing you can do about her!

Everyone could only wait silently. Before long, Tan Lin and Jiang Zao were brought over by Zhu Qi.

The two were still unaware of what had happened, and Zhu Qi didn't say much along the way.

Tan Lin, being a graduate of Zhengshan Academy, politely bowed to the eminent monks.

Apart from the abbot, the other senior monks all appeared unresponsive.

This made Tan Lin immediately realize the problem, and he looked up at Zhou Wei on the cliff face.

Jiang Zao silently followed behind Tan Lin, doing exactly what Tan Lin did, without uttering a single word.

"Mr. Tan, this peach was a gift from several eminent monks. You and Jiang have already shared it!"

Although Tan Lin was unaware of the situation, this small team, on the surface, revered the eldest princess, but in reality, Zhou Wei was the backbone.

Since Zhou Wei said so, Tan Lin did as she said.

Several eminent monks stared intently at Tan Lin, hoping he would learn some manners and not take anything from Kongshan Temple without permission.

Tan Lin pretended not to see it and nodded to Zhou Wei: "Okay, Zhou Dianjun, I will catch it."

Several eminent monks glared at Tan Lin, secretly cursing his shamelessness!

Without saying a word, Zhou Wei picked a peach and threw it at Tan Lin.

Tan Lin took the peach, broke it in half, and handed one half to Jiang Zao. The two of them then started eating it with gusto.

Jiang Zao didn't understand what was happening, but the deliciousness of the peaches still made her exclaim in amazement.

"These peaches are delicious, even better than the tribute peaches from the palace!"

Upon hearing this, the eminent monks felt their hearts bleed.

Everyone could see that Jiang Zao was an ordinary person without any cultivation, yet he shared half of the peach.

Such an opportunity is truly...

It's enough to make anyone envious!

After the two finished eating the peaches, the princess said, "Mr. Tan, give me the peach pit."

Tan Lin did as instructed, and Jiang Yueli carefully put away the second peach pit.

Once everything was settled, the monks urged Zhou Wei to pick the peaches and come down quickly.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Wei remained unmoved, and a smile returned to her face.

Seeing her like this, the monks felt a chill run down their spines, sensing something was wrong.

Only the eldest princess chuckled to herself and shook her head silently.

Although these old monks were somewhat clever and tried to deceive Zhou Wei, their moral compass was far too high compared to Zhou Wei's.

He was manipulated by Zhou Wei time and time again, and his bottom line was constantly being tested by Zhou Wei!

The green-robed monk couldn't help but ask, "Zhou Tanyue, what do you mean by this? I've already given you two peaches, are you still not satisfied?"

Zhou Wei shook her head. "Of course I'm not satisfied! Two-fifths is still a loss for me!"

"You did nothing, yet you took more than half of it. How can I feel good about that?"

Upon hearing this, the yellow-robed monk could no longer restrain himself and moved to make a move.

But the abbot stopped him, and the yellow-robed monk said with dissatisfaction, "Senior brother, this woman is too presumptuous. I must teach her a lesson."

The abbot calmly asked, "How should we teach her a lesson? Kill her, or cripple her?"

The man in yellow was speechless for a long time before finally saying, "Even if we can't kill her, we should at least drag her down to prevent her from becoming arrogant again."

"Really? Then you don't want this peach tree anymore?" the abbot asked again.

The green-robed monk spoke up at this moment: "Abbot, two of the five peaches are already gone. If we let this woman continue to threaten us, I'm afraid we won't get a single peach."

"So, junior brother, do you mean to perish together with everything, abandoning the remaining peaches and trees?" the abbot continued to ask.

When the abbot asked the three questions, the eldest princess almost burst out laughing.

I find this old monk increasingly interesting. As the abbot, instead of trying to solve the problems, he asks questions that are quite hurtful.

I really don't know which side he's on.

The abbot's question was unanswerable by the several eminent monks.

There are now three peaches left out of five. Even if Zhou Wei makes another request later, there will still be two left.

But if they intervene, as the abbot said, both the peaches and the tree will be lost.

After some deliberation, the blue-robed monk could only say, "Benefactor Zhou, you've already taken two of the five peaches. If you're still not satisfied, we've discussed it and will give you one more at most."

"In that case, you get three out of five, which is more than half. We've done our utmost. If you take three peaches and continue to threaten us..."

The blue-robed monk looked at the abbot as he finished speaking.

The abbot smiled and replied, "If you continue to threaten us, then this temple will give up the remaining peaches and peach trees to teach you a lesson."

Both the Princess and Tan Lin understood that this was the final concession made by Kongshan Temple.

By manipulating human nature, Zhou Wei gradually pushed Kongshan Temple to its limits.

The second of the five is the maximum that the eminent monks can accept!

However, she was content; it was indeed not easy to snatch food from the mouths of these old monks.

Zhou Wei smiled as she picked the third peach and looked at Zhu Qi in the crowd.

"Please don't accuse me of being selfish, esteemed masters. This third peach is not for my own consumption either."

After Zhou Wei finished speaking, she called out to Zhu Qi, "Little monk, here, this peach is for you!"

Before the little monk could react, a huge peach flew towards him, and he instinctively reached out and caught it.

Looking at the fragrant peach in his hand, Zhu Qi was a little confused.

He was just watching the show, and he even got a peach for free?

However, under the watchful eyes of his senior brothers, Zhu Qi simply couldn't bring himself to take the bite.

They could only turn to the abbot for help.

"Abbot, this..."
