Hmph!
[This fairy used a little magic on you!]
[You'll be forced to answer any question; even if you want to lie, your brain will make you tell the truth!]
This princess will make you admit in front of all the people that everything you've done was for the purpose of swindling money!
Next.
Ye Qianqian faced the people.
"I can now tell everyone very seriously that this person is a complete fraud!"
"He doesn't know anything about praying for rain; his purpose is simply to swindle people out of their gold!"
The people frowned.
"Impossible! The master said he could build a ladder to heaven, reaching the Jade Emperor to bring us rain!"
"You little brat, don't you dare slander others here!"
"We're all waiting for heavy rain to alleviate this drought! Don't cause trouble here!"
Ye Qianqian remained calm and composed.
"In that case, everyone can ask this so-called master some questions about praying for rain and see what he has to say!"
The surrounding people looked at each other in bewilderment.
They were all reluctant to ask.
Mo Chi stepped forward at this moment.
"Master, I have a question to ask!"
"You say you're a celestial being from Heaven who came to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation! Is that true?"
After hearing this, Zishan really wanted to say, "Yes."
But I don't know why.
He couldn't help but speak loudly.
"How is this possible?!"
"I'm just a con artist!"
"What kind of deity is this, undergoing tribulation in the mortal realm!"
"I've been a con artist for many years!"
"This time, we're taking advantage of the drought to try and squeeze some money out of you bunch of fools!"
"After I've swindled you all, I'll run away with the gold!"
After Zishan finished speaking.
She was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth.
Good heavens! What did I just say?!
How could I have told the whole truth!
Why was I so stupid?!
I'm a professional con artist, and there's absolutely no way I would reveal my scamming methods to anyone!
"What?!"
The people below the stage were all shocked when they heard this truth!
"Master, you just said you're a fraud, is that true?"
Of course not!
Zishan thought to herself.
But on the surface, he shouted loudly.
"Nonsense! Didn't I just say I'm a professional con artist!"
"I am not a powerful Taoist priest at all; my identity as a Taoist priest is fake! Not to mention any purple-robed Taoist priest!"
"You bunch of fools! You believed everything I said!"
After Zishan finished speaking.
I just want to disappear right here!
He knew what the consequences would be if he told the truth!
These people will surely swarm him and beat him to death!
Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best!
Purple Robe was just about to run away!
Ye Qianqian, however, took to the air.
He stepped on the purple-robed man's head again!
The woman in purple robes is unable to move!
We can only stay where we are!
Another citizen asked!
"So you're saying you've used the incense we offer to build a 999-story ladder to heaven! Is that true?!"
This time, Zishan learned it.
He forcefully shut his mouth.
He then forcefully covered his mouth with his hand!
I forced myself not to say a word!
However!
Purple Robe shouted uncontrollably!
"Do you really think I can bring you rain?!"
"Don't even dream about it! How could I, a mere mortal, possibly have the ability to go to the Heavenly Court!"
"Even if I had that ability, I still wouldn't be able to get to the Jade Emperor!"
"Even if I could get to the Jade Emperor's presence, I wouldn't have the right to ask him to send down heavy rain!"
"Do you think I'm the Jade Emperor's father? That I can just order him around and he'll do whatever I want!"
After Zishan finished speaking.
I almost fainted!
We're doomed!
What I'm saying is getting increasingly outrageous!
Even if these people don't beat me to death, their spit alone would be enough to drown me!
"So what did you do with the gold you took before?"
Purple Robe had given up struggling and resisting.
He said with a look of despair.
"Of course, we'll hide it secretly!"
"Once this storm passes, I'll run away with all this gold!"
"Whether you die from this drought or not is none of my business! I don't care about that!"
The people immediately asked questions after hearing this.
"Where did you hide the gold?"
"It's inside my Taoist robe!"
"I didn't actually get much gold! It was only ten pounds!"
Ye Qianqian sneered.
"Only ten pounds? You make it sound so easy!"
Ye Qianqian shouted to the people.
"Now everyone knows!"
"This person is a complete fraud; he can't possibly help everyone get rain!"
"They just want to swindle money from everyone!"
The people were furious.
"We've been waiting here for so long! We've emptied our coffers, all so that you can quickly help us pray for rain to alleviate this drought!"
"You've managed to swindle us out of all our savings!"
"You big liar!"
"Everyone, let's attack together! Beat him up and take all our gold back!"
Everyone immediately prepared to rush forward!
Ye Qianqian shouted.
"Stop right there!"
