Ning An's Wild Wish System

”Damn it!”

Officer Xiaoli also saw the comments in the livestream and started cursing again.

Some things don’t weigh much on the scale, but once you weigh them, they crush under a thousand pounds.

He knew how much pressure public opinion could exert, but he still underestimated it by far.

”Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”

Officer Xiaoli cursed three times in succession, then pulled out his pack of cigarettes and went outside the temple to smoke.

This case, unsurprisingly, will definitely become a classic reference for similar cases in the future.

If not handled well, not only would the courts have to re-examine from top to bottom, but even the police station would get implicated.

Just like the classic question before: what kind of sparks fly when a gold digger meets the straight man?

Now, the answer is already clear.

What’s sparked isn’t just sparks, but a blazing inferno fueled by Samadhi True Fire.

Ning An slightly furrowed his brow, choosing not to speak out.

Based on the current conditions, he mentally supported the man’s side.

But if he entered the fray now, no matter where he stood, he’d be devoured by public opinion.

He didn’t care about this, but the problem was he didn’t know the full story yet.

The woman had her reasons, and the man had his.

Before finding out the truth, for a social media influencer like him to take a blind stand, it’s fine if he’s right, but a wrong stance would surely lead to an innocent person being targeted in an online backlash!

Just like a lot of our behind-enemy-lines personnel back in the day, the public would only see them as outright demons, whereas their contributions in enemy territory took years to clarify.

Ning An may not be a good person, but he’s not an evil one either, right?

And most importantly, why would netizens dispute this event?

It’s because from start to finish, neither the man nor the woman had a complete evidence chain and logical chain to close the loop.

What he needs to do, and can do now, is wait.

Just then, a burst of noisy commotion came from the temple entrance.

”You really have no shame. With a son like yours, how dare you come to the temple? Aren’t you afraid of sullying this pure place, and the Immortal striking you with Palm Thunder?”

”I think you were pleasured by the village’s old bull, and now you’re not in your right mind! Your family’s slut cheats and then claims it’s the first marriage? If you’re just here to make money, stop acting virtuous!”

”You swindled my family’s lifelong savings, house, car, betrothal gifts, and then you even backstabbed us, claiming my son forced himself on her? Is your heart eaten by dogs?”

”You crossbred mongrel, you’re the real slut, your whole family is! Your son forcibly had relations with my daughter, causing her severe mental trauma. Your family’s betrothal gifts aren’t even enough to compensate her mental damage!”

”Get some self-respect, will you? I actually envy you a bit, being able to stay with your daughter every day in the future, she can cook for you, care for you in old age, since she can’t get married, it’s not bad.”

...

Ning An’s head buzzed, and he felt the pressure even before seeing anyone.

Just from a few lines of argument, it was clear that these two families were ready to open a deathmatch arena.

Once they entered the temple gate, Ning An didn’t watch the verbal titans; instead, he turned his head towards Mr. Fan.

At this moment, Mr. Fan, just like before, was wrapped tightly like Li Kaiping’s son, Li Lang, only his eyes exposed; no other skin could be seen.

And facing Mother Cao’s aggressive demeanor, she just stood behind her own mother in silence.

The livestream that had been deadlocked instantly fell silent upon seeing the ”engagement scandal” woman appear, then exploded with even louder voices.

”She’s actually got the gall to show up? What’s she doing here, hoping the Dao Ancestor will grant her wish?”

”Huh? Isn’t she afraid that in anger, the Dao Ancestor might strike her with Palm Thunder? She sure is bold.”

”Brother, you’re mistaken; if she wasn’t bold, this business wouldn’t succeed, right?”

”Are there any brothers on the scene who can make a wish before her? Nothing much, just wish for a Palm Thunder on her, I’m willing to pay handsomely for it.”

”As long as the Dao Ancestor agrees, I’ll send money immediately to restore the Dao Ancestor’s golden body! My family might not have much, but we own over a dozen coal mines; they don’t make much, but they can cover this cost!”

”Both sides actually came to Changchun Temple today, truly absurd. I wonder if the Dao Ancestor will have a headache seeing these two sides’ wishes later.”

”Dao Ancestor: This is exasperating, just let none of them live!”

...

At this moment, the livestream was completely ignited by anger and gossip, filled everywhere with hints of dopamine and adrenaline.

No matter which side’s netizens, everyone essentially understood what’s going on.

Don’t be fooled by how fierce they argue; in fact, both parties’ demands aren’t on the same point at all.

The male supporters mainly denounce the woman’s detestable behavior, while questioning the legitimacy of her assault claims.

After all, if the woman really wins the lawsuit, who’d dare to marry in the future?

The current marriage laws already overprotect women, and now pulling this stunt...

Is it because they think we can’t open our eyes to the world, or that a paper wife isn’t endearing enough?

Meanwhile, female supporters are aggressively attacking the point of forced relations, demanding the man be sentenced.

After all, both the woman’s evidence and the man’s confession point to the charge of forced relations.

The matter’s origin is simple; the woman wanted money, had a plan, but something went wrong in the process, leading to the current stalemate.
