Now I basically get it—King Guilong is sly as a fox. He probably intercepted all the other competitors ahead of time, so the four that made it here are all his own people. No matter which of them gets the benefit, it's like the meat's rotting in his own pot.
But clearly, King Guilong overestimates his subordinates' intelligence a bit...
Wen Yan doesn't really care about the local Water God's IQ, not even their spiritual intelligence level. As long as they're willing to guard the post honestly and are diligent in their work, that's enough.
If the other party is like Jiang Yanyan—innately kind and willing to stick it out—he actually doesn't mind at all, and really would set up a temple for them.
The first one he rules out is this flashy but not totally stupid Water Ghost.
Thinking about it, Wen Yan looks over at the Turtle Demon. This guy got sent out to handle stuff, so he's probably in the know about more than the others.
