"Demon, quickly reveal your true form!"

Li Daoshi found this little demon troublesome, so he simply abandoned his whisk, took out a peach wood sword from his sleeve, and pointed it at Lin Wanyue's brow.

Let's watch the drama unfold!

Let's enjoy the show up close and personal!

Zhang Xiangyang and the others were overjoyed and stared excitedly at Lin Wanyue.

Even the usually mature and steady Liang Xin was very interested at this moment, wanting to know what this seemingly innocent little girl was made of?

As for dealing with Lin Weiming and the others after subduing this little devil, Zhang Xiangyang and Liang Xin felt it would be a piece of cake and a piece of cake. They didn't take it too seriously at the moment.

ha?

After hearing the old Taoist priest's words, Lin Wanyue tilted her head, feeling that the question mark on her forehead had become even bigger.

Lin Wanyue: "..."

What is he saying? It must be some kind of Chinese she doesn't understand!

When Liu Junlan saw the old Taoist priest pointing a sword at his granddaughter, he suddenly erupted in anger.

She brandished a machete, first forcing Lin Weiming, who was trying to stop her, back, and then stood in front of Lin Wanyue with the machete.

The machete in her hand was polished to a shine, and under the sunlight, it gleamed with a fierce metallic sheen. Compared to the warm and lustrous peach wood sword in Li Daoshi's hand, it looked far more lethal.

Liang Xin was standing next to Li Daoshi when Liu Junlan swung his kitchen knife, and he was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Zhang Xiangyang and the others.

"What are you all doing! You stinking old Taoist priest, trying to scare my granddaughter with a piece of wood? Get out of here! If you dare to come to my house and cause trouble, don't blame me for being impolite!" Liu Junlan said fiercely, displaying the shrewish temperament of a village woman in a quarrel.

Li the Taoist priest was more composed than Liang Xin and the others. He didn't back down an inch and still maintained his superior demeanor, saying to the woman in front of him, "You ignorant fools are the ones who should stay away from this demon and not be bewitched by her!"

"This demon may appear innocent and naive, but she is actually extremely vicious. If you get too close, she will bewitch you! Get away quickly, or you will stop me from dealing with this demon!"

Liu Junlan was furious. How could he call his lovely and well-behaved granddaughter a monster?

How could there possibly be such an adorable monster in the world!

"Bullshit!" Liu Junlan cursed without hesitation. "I raised my granddaughter to this age. Even if she is cute and well-behaved, what gives you the right to call her some kind of monster? I think you old geezer are more like a monster, ugly and full of lies."

"You..." Li Daoshi was about to speak when Liu Junlan interrupted him.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Am I wrong? I raised my granddaughter, don't I know her better than you, you old codger who just popped up out of nowhere? Just by looking at you, I can tell you're a wifeless, childless, and childless bastard. You've never even raised a child, what do you know!"

“This is my own granddaughter, whom I raised with my own hands. What do you mean by ‘monster’ or ‘monster’? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll rip your tongue out, cut it off, and feed it to the dogs, so you won’t be able to deceive others like this.”

Taoist Li: "..."

Li the Taoist: I can't win an argument, I really can't win even a little bit!

Lin Weiming also came over. Seeing that his mother had no intention of harming the county magistrate, he first hugged Lin Wanyue and then raised his voice to say:

"Old Taoist priest, you're so old, don't spout nonsense! My daughter is perfectly fine, and if you keep talking like this, you'll ruin her life. Besides, I see you're a Taoist priest, could it be that my daughter stole your business, and that's why you're holding a grudge and deliberately trying to frame her?"

The crowd, who were already craning their necks to watch the commotion, now heard the heated argument and many of them started sticking their heads out, then halfway out, or even gathered around the Lin family's shop.

However, with Zhang Xiangyang and the others guarding the area, no one dared to get too close and could only whisper among themselves.

Many people on this street are regulars at the Lin family's shop, often buying roasted sweet potato skins for breakfast, and naturally they know about Lin Wanyue's fortune-telling stall.

Whether people believed it or not, seeing that the one causing trouble was an old Taoist priest, they were all somewhat inclined to believe what Lin Weiming had said.

"Could this old Taoist priest really be here to steal business from the young girl?"

"He definitely can't win. This little girl helped that guy surnamed Yan earn several thousand or even tens of thousands of taels of silver last time!"

Others who didn't know immediately said in disbelief, "How is that possible? If that little girl could really help others earn thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver, why doesn't she earn it herself?"

Those around him laughed at his ignorance: "Judging from your appearance, we can tell you've never spent a penny on fortune telling. Everyone has their own destiny. If you're not destined to earn that kind of money, even if your fortune is predicted, you'll still lose it sooner or later. Besides, what fortune teller would predict their own destiny?"

"That's true! Besides, the Lin family's business is so booming, they make much more money than us. This little girl is quite good too, so why does she have to be like those people, only interested in money?"

...

Zhang Xiangyang and Liang Xin overheard the whispers and, seeing that these foolish guys actually believed Lin Wanyue was truly capable and even wanted to defend her, they immediately became somewhat displeased.

Liang Xin gave Zhang Xiangyang a wink.

"Uh..." Zhang Xiangyang, usually quick-witted, didn't understand Liang Xin's meaning at this moment. He bent down and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what do you mean?"

"There are only two of them, and they can talk so much. There are so many of you on this side. Can't you spread the word that this little girl is a monster a few more times?" Liang Xin glared at him angrily.

"..." Zhang Xiangyang then understood what Lord Liang meant and quickly instructed the brothers beside him, "Listen to me, do as I say."

After saying that, he shouted loudly, "You two, don't try to bully Master Li with sweet words! Although Master Li is not good with words, he is someone who has actually captured many demons. He is a highly accomplished Taoist master that I invited from the mountain to protect our county."

"If your little one wasn't a demon in disguise, how could she possibly have such abilities? Which family hasn't raised a child? How old is this little one? She can tell fortunes and catch ghosts! I'm afraid she herself is a ghost, and she's deliberately coming here to scare people, isn't she?"

Zhang Xiangyang sneered again and said, "Besides, everyone saw it. That day, so many of us couldn't beat this kid surnamed Lin. How is that possible?"

"Besides, this Boss Lin isn't far from us, and the brothers are still quite a distance away, yet every one of our brothers got beaten up like that! There's definitely something fishy going on!"
