Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 738: Chapter 736: Siege [Second Update]

Lu Xiaobu heard Qing Le’s deception right at the door.

Then, a burst of discussion followed.

”Seems like it! Without the help of the All-Powerful Buddha, how could Lu Xiaobu, that prodigal, ever accomplish such a big business?”

”Exactly! Exactly! I know it too well, the whole company is managed by Liang Lan, Lu Xiaobu just eats and drinks and waits for death!”

”What are you talking about! You work hard all your life and still not as lucky as others!”

”What luck? Lu Xiaobu’s fate isn’t good, didn’t Qing Le say? Lu Xiaobu was nearly dead before, it was Qing Le that persuaded him to join the All-Powerful Buddha and promoted him to Great Perfection!”

”So, you’re saying if we reach Great Perfection, we could be like that too?!”

”Definitely! Don’t you know how to eat, drink and enjoy life?!”

”...”

It must be said, the idea of reaping without sowing is somewhat present in everyone’s heart.

They don’t know, nor care, about how Lu Xiaobu survived by the skin of his teeth to achieve today’s success, how he was one move short of losing everything!

They only know see Lu Xiaobu as someone who idles away his days, yet makes a fortune every day!

Add to that Qing Le’s indoctrination.

Suddenly, they were filled with anticipation for so-called Great Perfection.

”Qing Le, I want to join the All-Powerful Buddha!”

”Qing Le, I want Great Perfection!”

”Qing Le, please enlighten me!”

”...”

Qing Le, with a triumphant smile at the corner of his mouth—he snagged another batch!

He knew these people had gone from skeptical to mostly convinced!

Next, just gently guide them with daily deceptions, and soon, these people would become his slaves!

You must admit, having Lu Xiaobu, his enemy, work for him was quite satisfying!

After all, in this story, he was Lu Xiaobu’s master, his lifesaver, or rather his reborn parents!

Inexplicably thrilling!

”All-Powerful Buddha? How come I didn’t know I joined such a sect?”

Lu Xiaobu’s icy voice interrupted everyone’s discussions.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaobu stepped into the temple.

His gaze was sharp like sword-blades, shooting directly at Qing Le on the stage: ”You baldy, I was going to investigate further, but now, there’s no need!”

”Lu Xiaobu!?”

Qing Le jumped up in fright for three feet!

Damn, wasn’t this supposed to be concealed? What’s happening now? They’ve found me at last!

Damn it! Always dying at the whims of women!

He couldn’t help but be scared; he had seen what Lu Xiaobu was capable of!

Savage and merciless, there was nothing he dared not do.

Meanwhile, the followers were buzzing with confusion.

”What’s going on? How can Lu Xiaobu say he never joined the All-Powerful Buddha?”

”The two are saying completely different things!”

”Who is lying?”

”The person concerned is here himself, he wouldn’t lie, would he!”

”That’s not necessarily true, maybe there’s some hidden truth!”

”Exactly, I believe Qing Le!”

”Yes, Qing Le is right!”

”...”

The believers and newcomers each stuck to their beliefs, unable to convince each other!

And then, Qing Le spoke.

He was well prepared for this situation!

”Lu Xiaobu, you treacherous disciple! I helped you recover your health, helped you achieve Great Perfection, helped you earn the pity of the All-Powerful Buddha, and yet you betray me! My heart aches so!”

Qing Le said with forced calmness, his face showing deep sorrow!

Hearing Qing Le’s words, those loyal followers suddenly seemed to realize something.

”Turns out it was Lu Xiaobu who betrayed us!”

”Traitor! Shameless! Do you think you can deceive the All-Powerful Buddha?”

”Ungrateful wolf! I knew he was no good!”

”People like him should have everything taken back!”

”Exactly! He doesn’t deserve the Great Perfection!”

”...”

The speakers were all those loyal followers.

As for those who were skeptical, they stayed where they were, hesitating.

They now had no idea who was right and who was wrong!

Lu Xiaobu was laughed at in anger: ”You little jerk, trying to take advantage of me even when you’re about to die? Your teacher? I’d feed you shit!”

He wasn’t the strongest opponent he had encountered, but definitely the most shameless!

Meanwhile, Qing Le’s next words made everyone at the scene go wild.

This time, even those skeptical newcomers went berserk.

”Considering your actions, as your teacher, I’ve decided to clean house! I will take back your Great Perfection and bestow it upon someone at the scene destined with the All-Powerful Buddha!”

Saying this, Qing Le sat down cross-legged, looking like an enlightened monk.

At last, he added: ”Buddha blesses those who are destined, but destiny must also be fought for. Since my power is limited, I will choose a destined person from those closest to Lu Xiaobu!”

The moment these words were spoken, everyone at the scene went crazy!

What? Take back Lu Xiaobu’s Great Perfection?

And transfer it to someone at the scene?

And the closer they are, the more likely it is?!

Doesn’t that mean anyone here could be that lucky person!?

How many people are at this scene?!

That’s way more likely than winning the lottery!

And the perks are way better than a lottery ticket!

Once they replace Lu Xiaobu, wouldn’t Lu Xiaobu’s life be all theirs?!

Mansions, luxury cars, beauties galore, and no need to lift a finger?!

Just thinking about this life is thrilling, making their hormones surge wildly!

Forget about the truth, at this moment it’s better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn’t!

What are we waiting for?

Charge!!!

Instantly, everyone at the scene rushed towards Lu Xiaobu!

”It’s mine! I am the destined one!”

”Great Perfection is mine!”

”All-Powerful Buddha, do you see? I am the destined one!”

”Give it to me! Give it to me!”

”Who the hell dares to compete with me?”

”Get lost! Don’t freaking stand in front of me! It’s all mine!”

”...”

Human nature was completely exposed at that moment, and they didn’t even notice that Qing Le, who was supposed to conduct the ceremony, had already stood up, ready to slip away!

Zhang Meng and Li Jinyi stood in front of Lu Xiaobu, one in front and one behind.

”Young Master, what should we do?”

Zhang Meng was really hesitant, he was unsure of what to do!

Facing such a chaotic crowd, there was only one way to stop them – that was to kill on sight!

Otherwise, the crowd would definitely overwhelm them completely!

But if they did kill on sight, how many people would die today?!

Eventually, all of these would inevitably fall on the Young Master’s head!

The only plan he could think of was to temporarily give up chasing Qing Le, and he and Li Jin would do their best to protect the Young Master, waiting for the police to arrive, waiting for these people to calm down!

However, that means they would have to watch Qing Le escape, which was definitely hard to accept!
