Liang Xin shouted!
But he soon discovered that no one listened to him and rushed over.
He looked around and saw that the group of constables he had brought were all locked in a fierce battle with Jiang Yongqiang's gang, and the fight was still ongoing.
As for the onlookers?
They're still watching the spectacle...
How could I possibly have time to come and help him?
Troublemaker, troublemaker...
The people in this county are all a bunch of troublemakers!
They're all bad people, no wonder such monsters can be allowed to emerge!
However, he still retained some rationality and didn't curse out loud, only gritting his teeth from the side.
"..." Seeing the county magistrate's ferocious and terrifying appearance, the onlookers obediently lowered their heads, rubbed their hands, and looked away, not daring to meet Liang Xin's gaze.
Liang Xin was at his wits' end and was trembling with anger when, unexpectedly, Lin Wanyue pulled the old Taoist priest up, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
The old Taoist priest grasped Lin Wanyue's wrist; it was soft and somewhat plump, and he could feel the fragile bones of a young child beneath her skin, as well as her pulsating heartbeat.
All of this was so clear that the old Taoist priest had to admit that even the best illusions could not provide such a clear sense of touch!
Maybe... he really did mistakenly admit his mistake?
This is truly a girl who is far more capable than him, not some kind of prodigy.
The old Taoist priest had a lingering suspicion: even if this little girl was truly a demon, she had never harmed anyone and was far stronger than him. What difference did it make whether she was a demon or a human?
The old Taoist priest was, after all, a man in his sixties or seventies, and had seen much of the world. Even though his mind was filled with a thousand thoughts, he managed to compose himself.
“Young fellow Daoist…” He bowed slightly to Lin Wanyue and said, “It was my poor eyesight that led me astray. Please don’t be angry.”
Lin Wanyue gave a sweet smile and shook her head, saying, "I'm not angry."
She had almost taken all the talismans and magical artifacts from the old Taoist priest. These were things that money couldn't necessarily buy. She had gotten so many freebies, how could she possibly be angry?
I'm overjoyed!
However, Lin Wanyue dared not say these words aloud.
After all, the old Taoist priest was quite nice. What if he was reluctant to give it back if I told him?
Lin Wanyue chose to keep her mouth shut.
Lin Weiming and Liu Junlan were relieved to see how badly the old Taoist priest had been beaten by Lin Wanyue, realizing he was no match for her.
Now that she saw the old Taoist priest apologizing to Lin Wanyue, she was even happier.
"I told you, how could my granddaughter be some kind of monster? You're just making things up!" Liu Junlan said smugly.
Liang Xin also heard what the old Taoist priest said to Lin Wanyue, and his eyes widened in shock.
"You're truly a prodigy! You've even managed to bewitch Master Li!" Liang Xin roared in fury.
"Ah no!" The old Taoist priest realized that his previous mistake had caused the misunderstanding, and quickly defended Lin Wanyue, saying, "Lord Liang, this matter can only be blamed on my lack of skill, which is why I mistook the young Taoist for some kind of demon! Please don't scold me anymore."
Although he couldn't recognize Lin Wanyue's true identity—she was definitely not an ordinary person—he was certainly not some kind of prodigy.
Because he absolutely refused to believe that there could be a demon more proficient in Taoist magic than him, a Taoist priest.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Hahaha, of course!" Jiang Yongqiang was already sitting on Zhang Xiangyang's back, riding him like a horse. Hearing the old Taoist's words, he said happily, "I told you long ago, my little aunt could never be some kind of demon. My little aunt is so beautiful and cute, she must be the little dragon girl by Guanyin Bodhisattva's side, a little fairy from heaven!"
Jiang Yongqiang felt that he had only ever seen a cute little girl like his great-aunt in New Year pictures.
No, even the chubby little girl in the New Year's picture isn't as cute as my little aunt!
Otherwise, why would he have taken a liking to her at first sight and wanted to marry her as a child bride?
However, he dared not say these words aloud now, but he was still somewhat proud of his own gaze.
The old Taoist priest had a sudden thought.
He hadn't figured out who this little girl was before.
But after listening to what this kid said, I suddenly understood!
There's actually a good chance!
Perhaps this little girl is truly a celestial being descended to earth to undergo tribulation, which is why she possesses such profound Taoist skills at such a young age, because she is inherently blessed with celestial roots and bones!
The old Taoist priest dared not press the matter any further. He bowed even lower and said gently to Lin Wanyue, "Young Taoist, I originally thought that my descent from the mountain was to bring trouble to the world, but I didn't expect it was you cultivating here. I am truly sorry to have disturbed your peaceful cultivation..."
"I know my cultivation is insufficient. With you guarding this place, I have nothing to worry about. I will take my leave now and return to the mountain to continue my cultivation."
"Okay." Lin Wanyue didn't intend to keep the old Taoist priest any longer. Seeing that he wanted to leave, she nodded and said, "Goodbye, grandpa~"
With Lin Wanyue's consent, the old Taoist priest ran off in a flash.
Lai Fu and Lin Xiangwu did not continue to chase after the person to beat them up. Instead, they stayed by Lin Wanyue's side and coldly watched Magistrate Liang, who seemed somewhat out of place as he stood there.
Liang Xin was, after all, the county magistrate, and even Jiang Yongqiang and the others dared not actually lay a hand on him.
So, standing alone among a group of beaten-down yamen runners, he stood out like a crane among chickens, too conspicuous.
All eyes, both on him and on the ghosts, were fixed on him.
Liang Xin, however, was furious as he watched the old Taoist priest flee in disarray.
Another useless piece of trash!
Yesterday, I thought this guy was a really capable Taoist priest, and he even threw a big banquet and told people to serve him well.
And then what happened?
He didn't accomplish anything for himself and was even beaten and forced to flee by a young girl.
It's useless, it's really useless!
Liang Xin witnessed the old Taoist priest being beaten. The little girl didn't even lay a hand on him, yet the old Taoist priest was knocked to the ground.
This is clearly not right!
Liang Xin felt a deep hatred for the person, and was also angry that the people around him had clearly seen what was happening, yet they all acted like fools and didn't dare to step forward.
"What do you mean?" Liang Xin was furious. He said angrily, "You all saw it clearly, this is obviously a monster! Why are you all so lenient with her? If you are all killed by this monster in the future, don't blame me for not warning you today!"
The other onlookers dared not speak and all turned their gazes to the side.
Jiang Yongqiang scoffed.
Hearing his laughter, Liang Xin felt as if he were being mocked, and immediately glared at him angrily.
"What are you laughing at? Do you think your attempts to please her will lead to anything good?" Liang Xin said angrily.
Jiang Yongqiang shrugged: "Who knows? If everything was about personal gain, I'd probably be dead by now."
