Chapter 99: Mistakes Again and Again

Lin Zhixian also soon received a message from Li Jinlun, and hurried back to Wong Tai Sin Temple with Xu Hongmian.

"Junior Sister Lin, you are finally here." Li Jinlun was waiting for them at the door, and when she saw them, she hurried over to greet them.

Xu Hongmian was anxious: "Li Jinlun, what's going on? Why are Senior Brother Chang and Ah Xian being accused of cheating for no reason?"

Lin Zhixian also looked at Li Jinlun: "Where is Senior Brother Chang?"

"Brother Chang has already gone to see the organizer. He asked me to call you and ask you to come over as soon as possible."

Li Jinlun answered Lin Zhixian first, and then answered Xu Hongmian's question; "We don't know where the rumor came from. We were watching the competition peacefully, and suddenly the other contestants were whispering to each other, and then they pointed fingers at Brother Chang. We didn't know what happened at the time. After asking around, we found out that the rumor came from somewhere, saying that Brother Chang and Sister Lin didn't get full marks on their own, but bribed the organizer's staff to get the competition questions and answers in advance, which was how they got full marks so easily."

"Bullshit!" Xu Hongmian was so angry that she yelled, "It's just a preliminary round. With Senior Brother Chang's strength, he can easily pass it. Why take such a risk? Even if they want to bribe people, they should wait until the finals. Don't they understand the principle of killing chickens with a butcher knife?"

"You are Miss Lin Zhixian, right?" Before Lin Zhixian could even open her mouth, she was surrounded by a group of reporters: "Miss Lin Zhixian, there are rumors that you got full marks today because you got the competition questions in advance. Is that true?"

Lin Zhixian rolled his eyes and said, "I am really surprised that everyone believes such a stupid rumor."

"So Ms. Lin, what you mean is that you didn't bribe the organizer at all to get the competition questions in advance, and you got full marks purely based on your own ability?" the reporter asked.

"Of course." Lin Zhixian said proudly: "Although I, Lin Zhixian, am not a genius, I have never miscalculated since my debut. It's just the preliminary round of a competition, and it's the most basic and simple fortune-telling. Why do I need to bribe someone to get the questions in advance? The preliminary round has five rounds, and after the preliminary round there are also qualifying rounds, semi-finals, and finals. If such a simple question requires bribery, then there is no need to compete in the rest, just go home and take a shower and sleep."

"That's right." Xu Hongmian also seized the opportunity to complain: "I really don't know what the people who spread the rumor are thinking. Even if they are jealous of Ah Xian and Senior Brother Chang getting full marks, they don't have to resort to such despicable means, right? There are nearly ten thousand people who signed up for this competition, and thousands of people have passed the audition. No matter how many people are eliminated from the preliminary round, there are still more than a hundred people who will advance to the finals today. Among them, there are many geniuses who are rare in a century. If even Senior Brother Chang and Ah Xian are jealous and want to spread rumors and slander, then the future competitions will be exciting to watch."

Xu Hongmian directly characterized the cheating rumors as someone who was jealous and afraid of Chang Chunning and Lin Zhixian's genius and deliberately framed them.

"Oh, that's a really good idea." Li Jinlun also chimed in; "I also want to win the championship. Then, whenever I see someone stronger than me in the future, I will do the same thing and kill all those who have a chance of winning the championship. Then the championship will be mine, right?"

"What are you dreaming of?" Xu Hongmian rolled her eyes at him. "You want to win the championship with your mediocre skills? Do you really think the championship is worthless?"

"Ms. Lin." The organizers of the competition learned that Lin Zhixian was being interviewed by reporters and hurriedly sent a staff member over: "Please follow me."

Lin Zhixian followed the staff.

Xu Hongmian and Li Jinlun also wanted to go with them, but were stopped.

Lin Zhixian followed the staff to the back hall. Lin Deyu, the judges, Chang Chunning were all there, as well as an inspector.

"Junior Sister Lin." Chang Chunning saw Lin Zhixian coming in and hurried over to greet her: "You're here."

"Brother Chang." Lin Zhixian also nodded slightly at him: "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome." Chang Chunning knew that Lin Zhixian was thanking him for asking Li Jinlun to inform her, and shook his head: "Not only you are being slandered, but I am also suffering. Naturally, we stand on the same front."

"Do you believe me?" Lin Zhixian was a little surprised.

After all, this was only the third time they met, and they had no friendship before that.

"Junior Sister Lin is an upright person. Of course I trust her," said Chang Chunning.

He still has some vision in judging people. Lin Zhixian has a clear and upright look in his eyes and doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing.

What's more, if Lin Zhixian really cheated, he could tell from his face.

But in fact, he didn't see any clues in Lin Zhixian's face. Unless Lin Zhixian was extremely scheming and had the ability to cover up the truth, it would be impossible for him to escape his eyes.

"Thank you for your trust, senior brother." Lin Zhixian smiled brightly at Chang Chunning.

Chang Chunning's face turned red instantly, but it wasn't very noticeable because of her dark skin.

"Junior Sister Lin, you're too polite." Chang Chunning said a little embarrassedly.

Lin Deyu was sitting there watching this scene and felt it was blinding.

"Lin Zhixian." He coughed.

Lin Zhixian turned around and looked over.

This was the first time she saw her biological father up close.

He was fair and handsome, and dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe, giving him the appearance of an immortal.

But Lin Zhixian knew in his heart that this person was selfish, mean, and ungrateful by nature.

"Master Lin." Lin Zhixian walked up to him, pretending he didn't know him and just treating him as an ordinary senior. "I heard that someone suspected that Senior Brother Chang and I bribed the organizers and got the competition questions in advance, and asked to cancel our competition results and qualifications. I wonder if Master Lin has found evidence of our cheating?"

Lin Deyu looked down at Lin Zhixian and said calmly, "We have already reported this matter to the police. I believe it won't take long for the truth to come out."

"That's great. I'll wait for good news." Lin Zhixian said calmly and was about to step aside.

Lin Deyu frowned: "Lin Zhixian."

Lin Zhixian raised his eyes and looked over: "Master Lin, do you have any other advice?"

Lin Deyu said coldly: "Lin Zhixian, you are still so young, it is not unforgivable that you made a mistake. As long as you honestly confess your crime, I can help you plead with the judges to let you go."

Tang Yina couldn't help but exchange glances with Long Zaishui and Taoist Qing Feng.

Could it be that Lin Deyu cannot recognize his own daughter?

There is no evidence at all, yet he asked his own daughter to plead guilty?

It turns out that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather.

Lin Deyu didn't know that Tang Yina and the others had guessed his relationship with Lin Zhixian, and he still looked righteous and aloof: "Don't make the same mistake over and over again."
