"You can go if you want."

The senior brother explained to Li Ye some hidden benefits and drawbacks of becoming a temple servant.

The benefits are naturally as promised by Wangshu.

But there are also downsides.

For instance, managing incense, helping those who worship Wangshu Moon God or their communities to solve problems, and making some unique spiritual objects of the Wangshu Temple.

These require the temple servant to worry about.

"Wait."

"Are these really drawbacks?"

Li Ye couldn't help but interrupt.

"As far as I know, these objects are unique to the Moon God Wangshu, even our Four Seasons Sect can't easily touch them. Getting these formulas should be a good thing for a cultivator, right?"

The senior brother chuckled: "These things are very complex. If you take them on, you'll have to study hard, without time for tea and cakes; isn't that a drawback?"

"..."

"So, there are no drawbacks?"

Li Ye didn't expect his usually serious senior brother to joke with him.

"Naturally."

"Wangshu Moon God loves cultivators with grace and elegance, and you already have a history with her. If you don't agree, she might disturb you often."

"However, you might consider refusing temporarily to gain more benefits."

While saying this, the senior brother had a subtle expression—he had also been invited by Wangshu before, as he was a spirit of the Ruo Wood born from the East Pole Yang Sea, tenuously related to Wangshu.

Invitations from gods won't persistently pester you but occasionally come with gifts like Moonlight Spiritual Jade, Moonlight Dew, Taiyin Spiritual Qi…

They just use treasures to woo you.

Most treasures in the world lie within Yin and Yang, and Wangshu, who holds a deity position throughout the Tao Furnace Realm, can indeed bring many Taiyin Treasures.

Li Ye understood the senior brother's implication.

However, he didn't intend to refuse deliberately just to gain some benefits.

If he decided to agree.

Then he would go and do it right away.

So he calculated the time, and since there was still a period before the banquet at the Su Family, why not experience the life of a temple servant?

No sooner said than done.

He responded to the Wangshu Moon God:

"I'm willing to be your temple servant!"

Wangshu seemed to have been waiting for his reply; as soon as he spoke, a ray of moonlight gently fell, forming a palace in the vacant ground of his cave mansion, not grand but resembling a palace sculpted from glazed jade.

The land around the palace transformed into chilly jade stones, where lush golden laurels grew, shedding fragrant petals.

Wangshu's voice echoed:

"Enter this palace, and you can respond to prayers on my behalf, exercising the authority I've bestowed upon you."

"Is that so."

Li Ye nodded, then decisively entered the palace.

The moment he entered, instead of seeing a statue of Wangshu, he was greeted by endless moonlit tides and hopping figures resembling jade-sculpted toads.

Those white jade toads seemed to have been long awaiting someone's arrival; as Li Ye appeared, they started a lively discussion:

"Finally, someone's here!"

"It's the new temple servant!"

"Quick, give him those things!"

One of the white jade toads opened its big mouth and sprayed towards Li Ye—a barrage of wooden sticks landed in front of him.

"?"

Li Ye picked up a stick.

The moment it touched his hand, an elderly female voice resonated from it:

"Moon God bless."

"Bless my child with happiness and health."

"Bless... that she may find a suitable lifelong partner."

Accompanying this devout voice was a wisp of incense smoke surrounding Li Ye, while this woman's visage and some of her experiences unfolded before him.

To put it simply, she was an ordinary woman who spent her life managing her household; her only unresolved concern was her daughter, already in middle age but still unmarried.

She had come to seek a match for her daughter.

The incense surrounded Li Ye, carrying extremely pure divine spiritual energy—this level of purity indicated the woman offered prayers and incense piously almost daily.

This single instance of incense equaled three years of cultivation for a divine path cultivator.

"Temple Servant Li."

At this moment, a silver toad spoke up: "This woman has been offering incense unwaveringly for ten years, and we've tried every method, but couldn't fulfill her wish.

There's no choice but for you to intervene.

As long as you resolve this issue, you can immediately exchange it for a Golden Core magical treasure-grade pestle!"

"..."

What?

You want me to resolve someone's matchmaking issue?

Li Ye was rendered speechless, but he didn't know that among the requests at many deity temples, matchmaking was considered the most difficult.

Promotions, wealth, lifespan, even cultivation, are not as challenging as matchmaking.

They say marriages are made in heaven.

The deities of the Four Seasons Sect can foresee some future events through Qi Fortune, but should they attempt matchmaking or reveal secrets of heavenly destiny, it could cause significant changes in the future.

"Only those who are not yet married can solve matchmaking issues."

The silver toad continued eloquently: "If mortals are truly married, they have to worry about living together: daily necessities, shared interests; if Qi is incompatible, life can be chaotic and messy."

"But for someone like Temple Servant Li, who is unmarried, they always have beautiful expectations and visions for marriage, and only thus can one truly tie the red thread and establish a match!"
