Holy crap, is this guy missing a screw in his head?
[To cause trouble in front of so many people and then say he's disappointed everyone—he's absolutely insane!]
What did the anchor mean by that? Is there someone else behind him?
Xu Nian did indeed think that way.
Yang Dazhuang is simple-minded and could never have such an idea, yet he speaks of it so logically. Therefore, there must be someone behind him directing him.
The commotion was huge, drawing crowds from both the village and the city, who were all watching and discussing it.
"What are you saying? Who in our village would say anything bad about a fortune teller?"
"Hey, I don't think so!"
Seeing that things were not developing as he had expected, Yang Dazhuang was stunned. He looked around in a panic and stammered, unable to speak.
That's not right!
Wang Jinmei clearly said that this would make the fortune teller praise her, so how did it turn out like this?
"I'll ask you one more time, who taught you what you just said?"
Seeing Yang Dazhuang looking around, Xu Nian also became suspicious. She took a few steps closer and said coldly.
Overwhelmed by such an imposing aura, Yang Dazhuang opened his mouth, then deflated completely and confessed truthfully, "Wang Jinmei taught me."
As soon as he said this, the crowd was silent for a moment, and then erupted in a roar.
The barrage of comments then went wild.
[Damn it, it's that wicked woman again! What kind of trouble is she trying to cause?!]
I'm speechless. She's a classic example of someone who forgets the pain once the wound heals. We should kick her out immediately!
[I knew this guy looked dull and stupid; he couldn't possibly say something like that. Turns out it was all Wang Jinmei's doing!]
The village chief stood in the crowd, his old face flushed red.
That damn bitch!
They even incited the villagers to rebel against the fortune teller!
The village chief was so angry that he felt dizzy and shoved Wang Jinmei, who was standing next to him, out of the way, and then stepped out himself.
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
Seeing that her scheme had been exposed, Wang Jinmei panicked and pointed at Yang Dazhuang, cursing, "You scoundrel, how dare you frame me!"
Seeing Wang Jinmei's denial, even the dim-witted Yang Dazhuang understood. He roared angrily, "You, Wang Jinmei, you actually used me as a pawn! I thought you were really thinking of the fortune teller!"
Immediately afterwards, Yang Dazhuang walked up to Xu Nian, bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Half-Immortal, I was wrong this time, but there was a reason for it!"
He recounted the whole story to Xu Nian in detail.
Xu Nian listened, and finally waved her hand, "Alright, go and reflect on your actions in seclusion. You've already paid for all the things you broke for that girl."
Yang Dazhuang was also being used in this matter, so Xu Nian didn't want to cause him any trouble and just gave him a few instructions.
Upon hearing this, Yang Dazhuang immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, ran to the girl who had just cried, and coaxed her with kind words and offered her things as compensation.
Standing in the middle, Wang Jinmei felt as if Xu Nian's gaze was a sharp sword, cruelly scraping at her flesh and blood.
Recalling the spell Xu Nian used before, Wang Jinmei's legs went weak, and she looked at the village chief for help.
But the village chief didn't want to pay any attention to her at all!
Seeing Xu Nian getting closer, Wang Jinmei finally got scared. Trembling, she closed her eyes and yelled, "Wait!"
Xu Nian raised her hand and made a spell, her brows and eyes filled with coldness.
Her patience with Wang Jinmei was also limited.
If Wang Jinmei is sensible and behaves herself, and doesn't cause any more trouble, she won't hold a grudge about what happened before.
But now it seems that she overestimated Wang Jinmei.
"I didn't plan this; I was just... just a messenger!"
Seeing that Xu Nian had no intention of listening to her, Wang Jinmei was so anxious that she almost cried. She blurted out everything, "It was Cuiqing, she's the one who told me to do this!"
Cuiqing, who was in the crowd, was suddenly pointed at and was immediately startled. Just as she was about to sneak away, her clothes were grabbed.
"She's here!"
Immediately afterwards, Cuiqing was pushed by the crowd to Wang Jinmei's side.
[She's still around? I'd almost forgotten about her.]
[I never imagined that someone who usually hides themselves so well would be doing such shady things behind the scenes. Disgusting!]
【Cuiqing and Wang Jinmei, simply amazing, two gems!】
Xu Nian narrowed her eyes and met Cui Qing's evasive gaze, knowing that it was probably true.
"Do you feel like you're wasting time staying here?"
Seeing Cuiqing with her head down and not saying a word, Xu Nian scoffed and strode to the city gate, smashing it open.
"Bang!"
The crowd looked at each other, and no one dared to utter a sound.
"Since you feel you've wasted time, then leave here as soon as possible, so you won't be an eyesore."
Xu Nian pointed outside the door, reading each word aloud with a mocking smile on her lips.
She's not even willing to serve him!
Upon hearing this, Cuiqing panicked.
She lives a comfortable and carefree life here, and she doesn't want to live a life of wandering and displacement!
But after hesitating for a while, Cuiqing gritted her teeth and ultimately did not beg for mercy.
She is a member of the Minister's family; how could she bow her head and admit her mistake to Xu Nian?
"Hmph, fine, I'll go then!"
Cuiqing snorted coldly, turned around with feigned nonchalance, and sternly ordered the people around her, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and come with me!"
The group of people didn't want to move, but under Cuiqing's orders, they followed behind her listlessly.
Once you step outside, you're bound to face wind and frost, hardship, hunger, and cold...
[Heh, looks impressive, but actually he was kicked out.]
[She's still being stubborn at a time like this; she'll be in for a world of hurt if she starves to death out there!]
[That woman is finally gone! She was driving me crazy!]
Seeing Cuiqing walking out with a few glances back, showing no respect whatsoever, Xu Nian slammed the city gate shut.
Outside the door, Cuiqing stamped her foot, regretting her actions, but there was no way to turn back.
She still harbored resentment, thinking that if they met in the capital in the future, she would definitely teach Xu Nian a lesson!
But now, that's all she could think, and she had to bite the bullet and go.
Watching Cuiqing leave, Wang Jinmei was still feeling uneasy. Before she could think about it, Xu Nian spoke up leisurely, "And you too."
She raised her hand, made a talisman, and decided to teach Wang Jinmei a lesson.
If we continue to tolerate her, Wang Jinmei might think that we dare not do anything to her!
"Wait, fortune teller!"
Before Xu Nian could take any further action, the village chief, who had been silent all along, stepped forward.
He glanced at the trembling Wang Jinmei with complicated emotions, but in the end he didn't ignore her. "Half-Immortal, don't get angry because of her."
Seeing the village chief kneeling and behaving humbly, Xu Nianwei frowned almost imperceptibly.
"If you're still angry, then punish her by making her do hard and tiring work. Anything is fine, just spare her life!"
