Although Pei Di has become much more restrained after cultivating, he is still essentially a hot-tempered person.

What did the boss say? I won't offend others unless they offend me; if they do, don't blame me for being ruthless!

The main point is to never be bullied.

He shoved the intruding host aside, grabbed the cameraman by the collar, and yelled, "Turn it off! Delete it!"

The photographer leaned back tactically, saying, "Let me tell you, my equipment is very expensive, you can't afford to pay for it..."

Pei Di: "I can't afford to pay for it? Then I'll smash one right now and see if I can afford to pay for it!"

Fearing things would get ugly, Cheng Jingru quickly stepped forward and advised, "Let the cameraman go, and I'll have the production team delete all your shots."

Standing nearby were five or six people of different styles, each holding a ritual implement; they seemed to be in the same profession.

Someone recognized Pei Di and whispered among themselves.

"Aren't you that guy? The one who won an award at last year's Xuanmen Academic Exchange Conference, what's his name again... right, Pei Di!"

"Oh, it's him. I know. He won the prize by cheating."

"It seems they really don't live up to their reputation. Is that all the strength they have? They can't even handle an evil spirit."

"His manners are terrible, he's like a thug."

"Isn't he just a petty thug? Uncle Cheng already said that Ruan Mingzhuo used to be a thug. The two of them are birds of a feather."

Pei Di was originally going to let it go, but when he heard Ming Zhuo's name, he immediately exploded.

Damn it, I'm cultivating Taoism now, not becoming a Ninja Turtle!

You can say whatever you want, but you absolutely cannot say I'm the boss!

"Who the hell are you talking to? Do you guys have a death wish? Believe me or not, I'll take you down right now!" Damn it, a bunch of lunatics!

Everyone: "..."

What's wrong? Why are you so angry? Can't I even say a word?

Cheng Jingru: "Senior Brother Pei, I'm sorry, they meant no harm, please don't be angry."

"Then you should keep them in check and stop them from talking nonsense. They call themselves cultivators, aren't they afraid of their mouths turning sour from creating bad karma?" Pei Di was furious. He also disliked Cheng Jingru.

Cheng Jingru opened her mouth: "I..."

Someone couldn't stand it anymore, "Why did you take your anger out on Junior Sister? We were the ones who had to say it. You can't get angry just because you're not good enough and Junior Sister has surpassed you. Junior Sister is a genius in cultivation, her talent far surpasses Ruan Mingzhuo's. Your jealousy is useless."

Cheng Jingru: "Stop talking."

Pei Di was almost laughing in anger. What was so great about Cheng Jingru? How dare she shamelessly compare herself to the boss?

Just as he was about to curse, his phone rang. It was Li Wenhe calling to ask if he had finished.

After exchanging a few words, Pei Di paused, "The boss is trending on Weibo?"

He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly left while making a phone call.

Cheng Jingru was taken aback. Trending on social media? What's trending?

She thought of something and quickly opened her phone. Sure enough, she saw a push notification with a photo of Mingzhuo and the caption: "Singer Claire's fairy sister exposed."

Wait, Claire?

She remembered something; she seemed to have overheard passersby talking about Claire's wardrobe malfunction earlier that day, but she hadn't paid attention because she was busy filming.

She clicked on the entry with a bright red "explosive" character next to it, and after figuring out the whole story, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Cheng Jiangkai was a little puzzled as to why the filming inside hadn't finished yet. He pushed open the door and came in to urge them on.

Cheng Jingru is performing a ritual for this family, and there are cameras following her; she is doing it very seriously.

"Uncle Cheng, what happened to you? How did your mouth suddenly become sore?" someone exclaimed.

Cheng Jingru looked up and then made a mistake.

When it was over, she went to Cheng Jiangkai's side and asked, "Dad, are you alright?"

The group of people were all Xuan Masters, and after studying it for a long time, they had already figured out some clues.

"Junior Sister, Uncle Cheng has been poisoned by evil magic!"

"This is outrageous! Who is so narrow-minded and bullying us like this?!"

"Uncle Cheng, don't worry, Junior Sister is so capable, she will definitely be able to undo this evil spell."

Cheng Jiangkai trusted his daughter, and said in a muffled voice, "Jingru, I'm in so much pain I can barely speak. You need to teach that person a lesson."

He had been with his daughter for more than half a year and already knew that when the evil spell was broken, the person who cast it would suffer a backlash.

Especially since Cheng Jingru's cultivation level is high, the backlash will be even more severe. He wants the other party to have a rotten mouth too!

"By the way, could you research a talisman that would make those trolls who criticize me sore and ulcerated?" Cheng Jiangkai added.

Cheng Jingru glanced at Cheng Jiangkai, and combined with the news she had just seen, she vaguely understood what had happened.

She shook her head. "I can't use the magic I've learned to harm people. Dad, don't say anything. Let me break the curse for you first."

Cheng Jingru's words were praised by everyone. The junior sister has such a positive outlook and a very stable mindset. No wonder she has such high talent.

Cheng Jiangkai didn't get the answer he wanted, but he wasn't angry.

He was furious all day. First, Ruan Mingying inexplicably became Claire, a superstar singer with fans all over the world. Then, he posted a few comments online and his mouth started to rot.

When he saw the attack reflection symbol, he knew who was behind it when he saw Mingzhuo's news push.

Now they can't wait to break the curse and give Mingzhuo a good backlash, making her understand that they can't use evil tricks to harm people.

He was extremely disappointed in his adopted daughter, who, despite learning a great deal of skill, did not use it for good.

Unlike his Jingru, who is exceptionally talented, upright, diligent, and steadfast in his Daoist faith, he is destined for great things.
