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.”

“This kind of place is basically like this,” Lin Yi said.

“Not to mention Daoist temples, even other temples are like this. Don’t look at those Daoist priests and monks. They usually don’t dress well, but in reality, they earn more than you.”

“Are you serious? It can’t be that bad, right?” Qiao Xin said in surprise.

“Sister Li and I are considered high-income people now. They actually earn more than the two of us?”

“Of course, so if you come to such a place again, just watch the show. Don’t spend money.”

“These people are too much. Why doesn’t the government care?” Qiao Xin said indignantly.

“There’s nothing they can do about this. They didn’t force us to buy or sell it. It was these people who took the initiative to give it to them. Even if they were cheated, they can’t blame anyone else.”

“Oh, oh, got it.” Qiao Xin pursed her lips, not understanding these people.

About twenty minutes later, the three of them finished eating and prepared to go see what the Hungry Ghost Festival was like.

The dining hall was not far from the place where the Hungry Ghost Festival was held. After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived.

In front of the main hall was a place that was half the size of a football field. Colorful flags were hung all around it, and it was abnormally lively.

When the three of them arrived, the performance of the Hungry Ghost Festival had already begun.

Just like what the old Daoist priest said, the so-called Hungry Ghost Festival was just a show to expand the influence of Daoism among the people.

Qiao Xin pulled Li Chuhan and Lin Yi to the front row.

The performance was a sword dance performance by a group of Daoist priests.

Although there were many scammers in Xiyun Temple, the current program was still decent. It even helped the people decompress.

The sword dance performance ended, and next was a performance on the Shuqin.

Although this was a Daoist temple, the performers were a group of slender, long-legged women, all above average in both looks and figure.

Lin Yi thought that the temple’s god must be quite a character.

If things continued like this, Daoists in Huaxia would definitely become more mainstream.

After the Shuqin performance, it was time for the blessing ceremony.

This was the highlight of the Hungry Ghost Festival, as everyone wanted to receive some blessings for peace and safety in the coming days.

For the Daoist temple, the blessing ceremony was one of the key events they meticulously prepared for.

Not because they were genuinely wishing for the people’s well-being, but because it was an opportunity to sell items.

The cheapest items were priced at 89 yuan each, while the most expensive ones were over ten thousand yuan.

Yet, people were still enthusiastic, willingly opening their wallets.

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.
