"The Qilin God is indeed a good deity, always thinking of us."
"Yes, I will also set up a memorial tablet for the Qilin God at home in the future, and burn incense and make offerings to it every day."
The people's love for the Qilin God had reached its peak, without considering that even if the Qilin God conserved some of his power, that power might not be used on them.
Upon seeing this scene, the Qilin Divine Envoy smiled with satisfaction and said, "Now, please invite Magistrate Su of Tongqiao County to come up to the stage and be the first to receive the blessing of the Qilin God."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan also looked at the screen with curiosity, wanting to know how they bestowed blessings.
Magistrate Su walked up to the high platform with a smile. After the Qilin Divine Envoy knelt in front of the screen and prayed for a while, he walked to Magistrate Su's side.
Then, as if by magic, while spouting blessings that cost nothing, he continuously conjured flames of various colors in his hands.
The flames slid across Magistrate Su's body without leaving any burn marks, indicating that the flames were not very hot.
After the Qilin God used flames to circle around Magistrate Su, he took out a small wooden bottle, pressed it down, and sprayed a ring of golden water mist onto Magistrate Su's face.
"Now that the blessing is complete, does the magistrate feel much lighter, and are the aches and pains gone?" the Qilin messenger asked with a smile.
Magistrate Su stretched his body and was surprised to find that he felt much better and his mind was very clear. Even if he had to read ten more official documents, he would not feel tired.
"Thank you for the blessing from the Qilin God. I will certainly do my best to be a good official for Tongqiao County." Magistrate Su respectfully bowed to the Qilin God.
Magistrate Su's words strengthened the faith of the believers who already believed in the existence of the Qilin God. They looked at the Qilin God's messenger with great longing, hoping to receive a blessing as well.
Meanwhile, the Qilin Divine Envoy, who was being stared at by everyone with the eyes of hungry wolves, had already announced the second lucky winner with a smile.
"Now, let's welcome Mr. Xu, who has donated one thousand taels of gold today!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan walked up to the platform while fanning himself with a folding fan.
What could be more interesting than contradicting yourself?
The Qilin Divine Envoy had no idea what he was about to experience, and was still smiling as he spoke to Xu Jinhuan.
“Young Master Xu, this divine fire was bestowed by the Qilin God. It carries the Qilin God’s belief in loving all living beings and will not harm you, so there is no need to worry about it burning you.”
Xu Jinhuan nodded and said with a smile, "I certainly believe in the Qilin God, please, divine messenger."
The Qilin Divine Envoy secretly checked his props, and after confirming that there was no problem, he prepared to take out the flames just like before.
To their surprise, the props that were working just moments ago have all stopped malfunctioning...
"Divine Messenger, why haven't we started yet?" Xu Jinhuan asked, feigning confusion.
In reality, she knew perfectly well that she was the one who caused the props to malfunction!
Xu Jinhuan used his mental power to completely envelop the props, preventing them from having any chance to react or change with the outside world, which caused them to malfunction directly.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on the back of the Qilin Divine Envoy, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and said to Xu Jinhuan.
"I just used up a bit of my power. I'll ask the Qilin God for some more. Young Master Xu, please wait a moment."
After speaking in a low voice, the Qilin Divine Envoy smiled and walked behind the screen.
The people below the stage exchanged puzzled glances. They hadn't heard the explanation the Qilin Divine Envoy had given to Xu Jinhuan, so they were very confused as to why the envoy had suddenly stopped.
After quietly reprimanding the person in charge of managing the props, the Qilin Divine Envoy quickly returned with new props.
"Young Master Xu, there will definitely be no problem this time," the Qilin Divine Envoy said confidently.
Xu Jinhuan nodded, "That's good. I'm really looking forward to observing the divine fire up close."
This new prop was tested by the Qilin Divine Envoy, so he was particularly confident in it.
But when he repeated the operation on stage, the prop failed again, like a firecracker that had gone flat.
This time, the Qilin Divine Envoy was not only sweating on his back, but also had beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead.
What's going on? Everything was fine during the interview!
The Qilin Divine Envoy could only force a smile and say, "Young Master Xu, please wait a little longer. The Qilin Divine Envoy suddenly communicated with me. I'll be right back."
Xu Jinhuan smiled and nodded, saying sincerely, "The Qilin God is looking for you? Then you'd better hurry up and go, don't keep the Qilin God waiting."
The Qilin messenger didn't even bother to say goodbye to the people and quickly ran back behind the screen.
The person sitting in the chair, although hearing the conversation between the two, still showed a hint of doubt and confusion on their face.
As for the kneeling people behind them, they had already started chattering amongst themselves.
"What's going on? We've come back and forth twice already, why haven't they started bestowing blessings yet?"
"Yes, it's really strange. How fast was Magistrate Su just now?"
"Do you think something happened?"
Before the people could reach a conclusion, the Qilin Divine Envoy reappeared on the high platform.
"Excuse me, Young Master Xu, the Qilin God spoke to me about your situation. He asked me to inform you that your wish will soon be fulfilled," the Qilin God's envoy said with a smile.
Xu Jinhuan said with a look of surprise, "Really? If everything is as the divine messenger said, I will donate another thousand taels of gold!"
"Then I will await Young Master Xu's good news. Let's continue to bestow blessings."
The Qilin Divine Envoy suppressed his excitement and prepared to begin the blessing ceremony, but when he took out the props again, none of them were usable.
What's going on? We've tested it backstage, and it wasn't just one person who tested it this time. Why did it fail as soon as we got on stage?
When the people below the stage saw that the divine messenger had said a few words and then stopped moving, they began to discuss the matter even more.
"What on earth happened? It's been so long, why hasn't it officially started yet?"
"I have a feeling that the divine messenger has encountered a problem."
Now that you mention it, I have the same feeling. Could it be that we can no longer bestow blessings?
Upon hearing these words, the Qilin Divine Envoy broke out in even more sweat. He couldn't tell the truth, so there was only one answer left...
He glanced at Xu Jinhuan on the stage. Although he felt sorry for the thousand taels of gold that had not yet been redeemed, maintaining the status of the Qilin God was more important at this moment.
"You must all be very curious as to why I made so many trips back and forth, right?"
The people immediately nodded.
The Qilin Divine Envoy suddenly raised his hand and pointed, his face filled with anger and shock, and he shouted loudly.
"It's all because of this person. He is the embodiment of evil. Just now, he took advantage of the moment when the Qilin God appeared to harm the Qilin God, preventing the Qilin God from continuing to bestow blessings upon you."
Tell me, shouldn't this kind of evil spirit die?
