Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Swear Louder
Gou Qiu also reacted, and fell silent after seeing Sang Ling's expression.
Only now did she understand why she and Hu Yanyan were so excited when they heard that she was ranked 20th on the wish list, but Sang Ling was calm.
It turns out that behind this calmness is actually helplessness and anger.
The anger that Sang Ling did not show yesterday when facing Saint Ci Yu was now clearly visible.
Gou Qiu patted Sang Ling and said, "Just wait until this matter is over. What do you want to do next? Now that people are scolding you, how about telling everyone that the Demon Lord bought your record?"
Sang Ling shook her head: "Wait a little longer."
"Why? Shouldn't it be spread immediately?"
Sang Ling smiled and said, "Let them curse louder."
Gou Qiu was still puzzled, but he didn't say anything else. Anyway, he just had to trust Sang Ling unconditionally.
Just as Sang Ling expected, after the wish list was announced, the public opinions against her came faster and more fiercely. Although the world of immortal cultivation is not as well-developed as the modern world where negative information can spread all over the world in an instant, it is no less serious. No matter whether it is immortal cultivators or modern people, they are just human beings.
Unlike the modern world, which emphasizes logic and evidence, the world of immortal cultivation only needs the endorsement of Saint Ci Yu to create such a sensation.
All she needs is a word.
She represents the Way of Heaven and the laws of the world.
In the eyes of the public, a protagonist of a scandal cannot have a good outcome, as that would go against their anger and the justice in their hearts, not to mention that this person is almost criticized by heaven.
Therefore, with Sang Ling ranking 20th on the wish list, public opinion surrounding her reached its peak.
Originally, the commotion led to the closure of Chunming Pavilion, and the word record became a taboo. Sang Ling's silence was seen as a defeat, so the monks' means of resistance at that time were relatively restrained.
And now Sang Ling's glory on the wish list is no different from a demonstration.
But Sang Ling stayed indoors and Chunming Pavilion was still closed. They had no place to vent their anger, so they finally went to the shops that had cooperated with Sang Ling.
The first to be affected was the original snack shop. In fact, that snack shop had no cooperation at all, but the owner of the snack shop was grateful for Sang Ling's kindness and had been supporting her spontaneously.
This snack shop has now been taken over and turned into a large restaurant in the former Wangyue Tower, but it had only been open for two days when the wish list was announced and it was forced to close today.
The shops that have cooperated with Sang Ling all suffered the same fate. The quickest ones have come to Sang Ling to discuss the termination of cooperation and also demanded compensation.
Sang Ling agreed to all of them.
According to Gou Qiu, she now has nothing but money and fame.
Although Gou Qiu did not act rashly according to Sang Ling's words, he was extremely anxious. He was afraid that Sang Ling's tricks would be useless and that the best time to explain would have passed.
Finally, on the second day, Sang Ling said that the message could be passed on.
Gou Qiu couldn't wait to make arrangements, but couldn't help saying, "It's not too late now, right? We sent the record to Lord Demon the night before yesterday and everyone in Chao City knew about it, but when they saw that we didn't get any news the next day, they all said that Lord Demon refused to accept the record, and now they are scolding us even more vigorously."
Sang Ling asked her, "Is there any difference between today and yesterday?"
Gou Qiu was filled with anxiety: "Did those people curse even more harshly?"
Sang Ling nodded: "This is one of them. The other is that Fu Wei had someone deliver the 7,500 spirit stones today."
Gou Qiu was also shocked when talking about this. She didn't expect that the Demon Lord would actually send someone to deliver the spirit stones for buying records.
"But wasn't the spirit stone delivered yesterday?"
Sang Ling smiled, "I think he will deliver it today."
Fu Ying's purchase of the record would solve her predicament in any way, but she wanted more than just a solution.
Two days would not only make the matter of the carriage record effective, but would also allow the matter of the wish list to ferment further.
What she wants is for those people to curse louder and louder, and more angrily, so that the emotional backlash will be more severe.
Gou Qiu understood some of it and couldn't wait to spread the news, but was stopped by Sang Ling again.
Sang Ling continued to talk to Gou Qiu: "Clarification also requires methods, it can't just be done by releasing the news."
Then Sang Ling whispered something in Gou Qiu's ear. The more she spoke, the more shocked Gou Qiu looked. At the end, she swallowed her saliva, but still made arrangements based on her trust in Sang Ling.
…
Since the incident, Chunming Pavilion has not taken any action other than closing its doors. According to all those who are watching the joke, it is just feeling guilty. Only a few days ago, Chunming Pavilion had a funny incident in which it sent a record to the Demon Lord.
In order to send a record, they went around the entire Chao City, fearing that someone might not know the news. As soon as the news came out, people with shallow ears immediately started to talk about it, saying that since Chunming Pavilion dared to send a record to Lord Demon, it must be that Lord Demon had his favor. If listening to Sang's record would really delay his path, the Demon Lord would surely be able to discover it with his cultivation. Although the Demon Lord did not comment on the remarks of Saint Ci Yu, wasn't accepting the record a denial?
This statement immediately caused a certain degree of turmoil because it was reasonable.
But on the second day, Chunming Pavilion was silent except for the moment when the wish list was conveyed.
If Lord Demon really took the record, how could Chunming Pavilion remain silent?
On the contrary, this is Lord Demon's agreement with the words of Saint Ci Yu.
Therefore, they became more and more arrogant and more determined to believe that Sang Ling was guilty.
However, the next day after the scolding, news came out from Chunming Pavilion that a record had indeed been sent to Lord Demon the day before, and the record had been accepted.
Some people believe it, but a larger number do not believe it at all.
If Lord Demon really had taken the record, Chunming Pavilion should have announced it immediately as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw, instead of delaying like this.
The more likely possibility is that after the wish list was conveyed, Chunming Pavilion saw that the situation was getting worse and ran out to lie in a panic.
The party that criticized the most in this matter came from Sang Ling's old friends, the Hall of Evil. Those monks in the Hall of Evil had been holding a grudge against Sang Ling since the first confrontation. When Saint Ci Yu said those words, they were the first to stand up and criticize him. They were the ones who escalated the matter and also the ones who escalated the record to include Sang Ling as a whole.
Now that they have heard the news from Chunming Pavilion, the Hall of Evil has also directly stated that Chunming Pavilion is definitely lying.
The Hall of Evil has an extraordinary status in the demon world. Some monks who originally believed in Chunming Pavilion naturally stopped believing it after hearing what the Hall of Evil said.
But soon, second news came out from Chunming Pavilion.
In view of everyone's current attitude towards the record, cultivators who want to return the spirit stones used to purchase the record can come forward to return them. The returned spirit stones will be paid from the 7,500 spirit stones paid by Chunming Pavilion and Lord Demon for the purchase of the record this time.
The whole message focused on just a few words: 'Mr. Demon purchased it.'
There were many monks in the Hall of Evil, looking at each other, but in the end no one dared to say anything.
The cultivator in the Hall of Evil who had been injured by Sang Ling outside Chunming Pavilion was among them. In a short period of time, a new scar appeared on his face, making him look a little scary. His status in the Hall of Evil was not low, and he was particularly happy to see Sang Ling's miserable condition recently. Now that Chunming Pavilion has jumped out and wanted to turn the tables, he naturally refuses to recognize it.
"It must be fake. Who can prove that the 7,500 spirit stones were paid by the Demon Lord? Is it possible to engrave words on the spirit stones?"
What he said made sense, and the monks around him nodded.
But just as he nodded, another cultivator came with the news of Chunming Pavilion.
"Do you know where the location for returning the spirit stones is?"
The scarred monk didn't care. "Where else could it be? Not outside Chunming Pavilion. Could it be in someone's bed?"
"Outside the Demon Palace!"
Everyone was shocked.
The location is not important. What is important is that it is outside the Demon Palace. Now no one believes that Lord Demon has purchased Sang's record, but now Sang is directly returning it outside the Demon Palace under the banner of using Lord Demon's payment. If Lord Demon has not purchased Sang's record, how dare Chunming Pavilion cause trouble outside the Demon Palace.
The scarred monk opened his mouth but could say nothing.
Another monk said, "I actually have a record of Sang. I'll go check it out to see if it's real."
Immediately someone responded and wanted to go.
Scar monk certainly didn't buy Sang Ling's record, but he still didn't believe it, so he followed Sang Ling to the outside of the Demon Palace to find out what was going on.
Gou Qiu ordered people to build a stage just outside the Demon Palace, and even the background behind it was the demon soldiers patrolling the Demon Palace.
The distance was so close that Gou Qiu was afraid, but when Sang Ling saw this place, he said that there were demon soldiers behind them, so the people who came would not dare to cause trouble.
It should be said that this reason is indeed sufficient. The demon world is originally a group of vicious people. Now there is a lot of scolding against Sang Ling outside, who knows if any of them are excessive.
Gou Qiu originally wanted to persuade Sang Ling not to come, as long as she returned the spirit stones and spread the news, it wouldn't make much difference whether she was present or not.
But Sang Ling still came, but she felt more at ease coming to Gou Qiu, otherwise she would not even dare to speak loudly here, thinking that the Lord Demon was behind her.
The platform was not big, with only two tables and two chairs. There were boxes filled with spirit stones at the foot. One of the boxes had the logo of the Demon Palace printed on it, and it was obviously the original box containing the spirit stones that Fu Ying paid for. There were several steps on the platform, and the rest of the place was tightly guarded, mainly to separate the crowd in order to prevent anyone with malicious intentions from causing trouble.
Sang Ling sat at the table and Gou Qiu sat next to her. The news had just spread and no one had come to return the spirit stones yet.
Gou Qiu glanced behind her, and the demon soldiers inside instantly focused their attention on her. She immediately turned back and asked worriedly:
"If we return the spirit stones here, will it upset Lord Demon? After all, we are using his name to make a fuss, and we are doing it so blatantly outside the Demon Palace. Will Lord Demon be angry and say that he didn't buy the record at all?"
The more Gou Qiu thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. "If Lord Demon denies it, things will get worse."
Sang Ling was doing the preparations and smiled, "Do you think he didn't expect us to use his name when he accepted the record?"
"Not only did he know, he knew that I wanted more than that."
Gou Qiu looked at her, "More than that? Do you have any other plans?"
