Chapter 284: Chapter 284: The Ancestor Persuades with Kind Words

Daoist Changmin and the young man took turns in their performance.

With their eloquent and emotional speech, they didn’t give Jiangli any chance to speak, as if they had already sentenced both Jiangli and Jiaoyang Temple.

And as soon as Daoist Changmin’s voice fell, the crowd began to stir, and emotions ran high.

"Jesus, ten thousand bucks for a piece of paper? Are they crazy? Jiaoyang Temple is just here to rob us!"

"Even if the talisman really works, it shouldn’t cost this much money!"

"These people are just greedy, willing to make money out of anything, not afraid of shortening their own lives!"

"Scammers are everywhere these days! No wonder people say you can’t trust fortune tellers!"

"There was a time when Jiaoyang Temple was pretty impressive, how did it fall so low now?"

"I heard that there used to be an old Taoist in the temple who was quite good, but it’s not the same anymore!"

"What would a girl know? I think it’s all nonsense. Relying on a pretty face to swindle money, specifically from men!"

It was as if many voices could melt metal.

Some people originally thought that Jiaoyang Temple couldn’t possibly be this bad.

But their thoughts were drowned out by the resounding shouts and curses.

"Are you done talking?"

Jiangli interrupted their voices in a nonchalant manner.

Her voice was not loud, but her cool and clear voice, like a basin of cold water, immediately cooled down the heated situation.

Huffily, Jiangli gave Daoist Changmin a glance, mercilessly exposing the ruse, "Getting all these people to act with you, you’ve really gone to great lengths. I appreciate the effort. Have you said enough? If so, then I’m going back to sleep."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiangli was ready to leave.

She didn’t take Daoist Changmin’s poor acting skills to heart at all.

"You!"

Seeing her disregard him so, Daoist Changmin was infuriated.

His anger boiling over, he rebuked her, "You swindler, thinking you can just walk away after cheating people of their money? Let me tell you, if Jiaoyang Temple doesn’t provide an explanation today, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

With a sneer, Jiangli paused mid-step and turned back to look at him, "And what impolite thing do you plan to do?"

"Jiaoyang Temple must provide an explanation today, either admit to being swindlers, take down your sign, or get out of F City!"

Daoist Changmin swept his long robe sleeves with an air of righteousness, as if he was about to mete out justice for the heavens.

Jiangli couldn’t help but find it amusing, "Who do you think you are? When Jiaoyang Temple was first established here, you didn’t even know where you were! Besides, you say we’re swindlers and that makes it true? Aside from this doubtful proof, do you have any other evidence?"

"These so-called proofs could easily be fabricated. You say this talisman was sold to you by us, fine, show evidence that it was indeed sold by us, otherwise, I can just as easily claim that you bought it somewhere else to set me up."

Jiangli uttered an ’oh’, her voice taking a turn, "No, to be precise, it’s that you deliberately bought it to frame Jiaoyang Temple."

Daoist Changmin’s face twitched, "You—"

"Let me tell you, don’t narrow your own path," interrupted Jiangli, with a cold look in her eyes, "Considering you’re a junior, I’ll let it slide this time. But if you don’t know what’s good for you, it’s you who will end up embarrassed."

"Junior? You really dare to be so boastful!"

Hearing Jiangli’s words, Daoist Changmin grew even more incensed, his face darkening as he gritted his teeth, "Fine then, since you refuse to take down your sign and leave, don’t blame me for being impolite. Today, I shall cleanse the Xuanmen of its impurity on its behalf!"

Hearing this, Jiangli found it even more laughable.

Cleanse the doorways?

Who do you think you are?
