The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 293: Chapter 143: This Time It’s a Swindler (Part 16)

”The assassination of the doctor” quickly made it to the news charts.

The official media was rather subtle, objectively stating the entire course of the event.

Those self-media personalities and big Vs on the internet, however, really let loose. They conjured up all sorts of wild theories, from ghosts and ghouls to other supernatural elements, directly applying plotlines from online novels.

Possessed by a ghost?

Protected by the Merit Golden Light?

Or was it the ancestral spirit of that Doctor Liang?

There was nothing those internet celebrities couldn’t imagine, and no content they feared to discuss.

Many netizens joined in the speculation.

And this speculation reached its peak when a netizen recognized a familiar figure in a video uploaded by a certain UP master—

”Holy moly, who did I see? It’s actually Master He!”

”No wonder, no wonder Doctor Liang managed to dodge the knife and save his own right hand. It was True Master Qingfeng who intervened!”

”Master He? True Master Qingfeng? What the hell? Are they that powerful?”

”Hey upstairs, remember the saying ’trouble comes from the mouth’! Master He and True Master Qingfeng are the same person; he’s the temple master of Nanshan Guiyuan Temple, an incredibly awesome expert!”

”Yeah, yeah, the peace charms from Guiyuan Temple are super effective. My sister’s classmate got one, and when she had an accident on her way home, she came out totally unscathed!”

”Exactly, the one who said ’what the hell’, mind your words. There are things you might not believe in, but you shouldn’t blaspheme!”

”...All this stuff about temple masters and True Masters, I think that Doctor Liang just had dumb luck; it was all just a coincidence.”

”Right, maybe such coincidences are rare, but they do exist. Isn’t it a bit superstitious to suspect a supernatural event every time something unusual happens?”

”Even if there was a supernatural event, what does it have to do with that so-called Master He? Are you Doctor Liang, coming online to tell your story?”

”I’m not Doctor Liang; he’s my uncle. The day of the incident, he indeed wore a peace charm personally refined by Master He!”

”...”

Online discussions were rampant; as the event fermented, more and more netizens came out to ”tell their stories.”

They extensively praised the miraculous effects of the spirit talismans from Guiyuan Temple, in their words, He Qingfeng was practically a mystic with immense powers, a land immortal.

He Qingfeng: ...somewhat inexplicably nervous, always feeling like someone was about to disrupt the scene.

It must be said, He Qingfeng’s intuition was quite accurate.

The doctor assassination case blew up, and the name of Guiyuan Temple successfully made rounds across the internet.

Some people from the Mystical Sect and even the government’s special departments began to take notice of He Qingfeng, this ”Enlightened master.”

”Junior Master Uncle, this Guiyuan Temple might really have some background. Shouldn’t we go take a look?”

Su Wenbo held his phone, once again trying to persuade Junior Master Uncle to go find He Tiantian.

”...” Junior Master Uncle gave a helpless smile, sighing, Wenbo this kid, is really stubborn.

All the relevant documents about He Qingfeng and his Guiyuan Temple were on Junior Master Uncle’s desk.

As Hua Country’s official institution handling abnormal events, they monitored and investigated any unusual occurrences within the country.

Recently, terms like ”Guiyuan Temple,” ”Master He,” and ”Spirit Talisman” frequently topped the news charts.

The Emergency Office certainly wouldn’t turn a blind eye.

If Guiyuan Temple truly had a heritage of talismanic power, it would definitely be good news for Hua Country’s Mysticism World.

However, as the investigation deepened and more evidence was collected, Junior Master Uncle, as the head of the ”Office for Unusual Affairs,” could very certainly declare: Guiyuan Temple was just an ordinary Taoist Temple.

Perhaps it had a heritage spanning over a thousand years and produced a talismanic power two or three hundred years ago, but with the arrival of the Dharma Decline Era, the true lineage of Guiyuan Temple had already been severed.

The heavily hyped ”Master He” online was nothing more than a swindler who knew a bit about drawing ghost talismans.

At least he had some integrity, and didn’t harm others’ lives to make money.

Otherwise, the ”Emergency Office” would have intervened long ago and wouldn’t have allowed He Qingfeng to continue causing trouble online.

But now, Su Wenbo, as a new star in mysticism at the ”Emergency Office,” was actually instigating him to seek out He Qingfeng for ”treatment.”

This, this was absolutely preposterous.

Junior Master Uncle instinctively wanted to refuse, and in fact, he had refused more than once.

But Wenbo was just too stubborn and wouldn’t listen to reason.

Junior Master Uncle knew of Wenbo’s inner turmoil; the kid always thought he was responsible for his condition.

It was precisely because of Wenbo’s mindset that Junior Master Uncle didn’t outright deny his request too harshly.

He couldn’t scold Wenbo for ”messing around.”
