The little boy’s mother thanked them profusely and took her son for a checkup.
Throughout the entire process, she did not seem to realize that he was the one who had been deceived.
She wasn’t the only one. The others in the dining hall didn’t seem to notice that Zhu Jinwoo was a swindler. They even felt that he was an otherworldly expert.
There was even a hint of admiration in their eyes when they looked at him. On the other hand, Lin Yi and Li Chuhan, who had done the actual treatment, did not receive much attention.
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. He felt that these people should go back and redo their nine years of compulsory education.
It was truly like Jiang Taigong fishing—those willing to take the bait, did so willingly.
Seeing that they hadn’t been exposed, Zhang Yanjun and Zhu Jinwoo didn’t linger.
After greeting the people present, they left the dining hall to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Compared to earlier, their expressions had changed noticeably.
“Damnit, where did that guy come from and ruin my plan!” Zhu Jinwoo cursed.
“The woman was already hooked. I could have easily swindled a few thousand yuan, but he messed it all up!”
“Maybe you weren’t meant to earn that money.”
Zhang Yanjun was much calmer than Zhu Jinwoo.”Forget about it. At least we didn’t get caught. Those people still have a good impression of you. During the Hungry Ghost Festival performance later, we might achieve even better results. That’s the real opportunity to make money.”
Zhu Jinwoo nodded. “I’ll go prepare for the performance. Whether I can get a new car this year depends on it.”
“And whether I can upgrade to a new villa depends on your performance today.”
“Leave it tome.”
Inside the dining hall, people finished their meals and left one by one.
They prepared to watch the upcoming Hungry Ghost Festival.
However, Lin Yi and his two companions weren’t in a hurry. They continued eating leisurely.
For them, the outing was meant to be relaxing and spontaneous, so there was no need to rush.
“Brother Lin, why do I feel like this Daoist temple is a gathering place for scammers?”
As Qiao Xin ate, she whispered,
“I feel like they’re not even as smooth as that old Daoist priest.”
The blessing ceremony lasted for about half an hour. At this point, the temple’s abbot, Zhang Yanjun, dressed in Daoist robes, appeared before the crowd.
With a smile and an air of benevolence, he looked as if he had the entire world in his grasp.
“In order to help everyone better understand Daoist culture, the next program is a demonstration of traditional Daoist martial arts, passed down through generations at Xiyun Temple. Please enjoy.”
After Zhang Yanjun finished speaking, the audience below applauded thunderously.
Compared to those artistic programs, they preferred hardcore performances in martial arts.
Zhang Yanjun left the stage while Zhu Jinwoo walked onto the stage.
It immediately caused waves of exclamations.
“Isn’t that the master who saved the kid just now?”
“I didn’t expect him to be the one to show off his kung fu this time.”
“He’s really amazing. Not only is his medical skills brilliant, but his martial arts are also powerful. As expected of an expert.”
Hearing the discussions, Lin Yi and Qiao Xin’s faces darkened.
Did they leave their brains at home when they went out?
Seeing the reaction of the people below the stage, Zhu Jinwoo smiled.
The more fanatical the people below were and the more they admired him, the easier it would be for him to earn their money.
“Everyone, calm down. The performance is about to begin.”
After Zhu Jinwoo finished speaking, two Daoists came onto the stage, carrying a pre-welded iron frame about two meters high, resembling a horizontal bar in a school gym.
At the same time, another person brought out three red bricks, tightly tied together with a rope, and hung them from the iron frame about a meter above the ground.
Once everything was set up, the others left the stage, and Zhu Zhenyu stood center stage and spoke.
“Next, I will demonstrate our unique Daoist internal force by kicking and breaking these three bricks with one kick.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of exclamations arose from the audience.
Their eyes were filled with anticipation.
When the excitement reached its peak, Zhu Zhenyu took a deep breath.
Then, with a sudden fierce look in his eyes, he leaped and swung his leg at the bricks hanging in midair!
Clang, clang, clang!
With one powerful kick, Zhu Zhenyu shattered the three bricks tied together, creating an exceptionally impressive scene.
