Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They had always been skeptics but with a string of bizarre incidents piling up recently, even the staunchest doubters started to believe.
Plus, there’s something about human nature that gravitates toward going with the crowd.
Seeing everyone condemning Rong Qi, they joined in, seeking some peace of mind.
Old Master Ye’s face was stern.
And then, as if things weren’t heated enough, Crescent stirred the pot, declaring, “A jinx must not remain. For the peace of the Ye family, I hope the head of the family makes a swift decision to punish this ominous star!”
Sitting in the back, Madam Su watched Rong Qi with a worried gaze.
Meanwhile, Liang Silai, not too far from Rong Qi, was intensely focused, her hands clenched as if awaiting something.
Indeed, just as Liang Silai was sweating with tension, she saw the butler rush in, exclaiming loudly, “Master, Master Zenith has arrived!”
For some reason, this made Liang Silai breathe a sigh of relief. She had a feeling that there would be a twist in the tale. But her inexplicable confidence was unknown to others.
The crowd was shocked.
!!..
“What? Master Zenith is here too?”
They all turned around.
Sure enough, they saw Ling Mozi, exuding an air of celestial grace, following the butler at a leisurely pace.
Ling Mozi’s demeanor was serene, his eyes calm like a still sea. Everything about him, from his expression to his bearing, radiated a sense of divine tranquility.
For some reason, just the sight of Ling Mozi settled the restless hearts of the crowd.
“Greetings everyone,” Ling Mozi intoned.
His reputation was renowned, and even Mrs. Ye Sr. held him in high esteem, immediately welcoming him with due respect.
“Has Master Zenith descended from the mountains because you noticed something unusual about the Ye family, to deal with this evil spirit?”
The involvement of Ling Mozi signified just how formidable Rong Qi, the alleged jinx, was.
However, Ling Mozi’s brows furrowed in confusion as he turned to Mrs. Ye Sr., “What evil spirit? I came because I saw auspicious signs over the Ye residence, indicating the arrival of a star of fortune. I came to bask in this auspicious energy.”
“Auspicious energy? Who?”
Ling Mozi didn’t answer directly but turned to Rong Qi, “It’s been a while, are you well?”
Rong Qi nodded, “Not really. Just now, people were saying I’m a reincarnated calamity, here to bring harm!”
“Nonsense!” As soon as Rong Qi finished, Ling Mozi’s expression darkened, startling everyone.
“Rong Qi is a person blessed with auspicious energy. How could she be a reincarnated calamity? Such a claim is the most absurd thing I have ever heard!”
As Ling Mozi said that, everyone was stunned.
“Wasn’t she an evil invader, a descent of a calamitous star?”
“How did she suddenly turn into a harbinger of good fortune?”
“But Master Zenith was a highly revered monk. Why would he lie for Rong Qi?” Unconvinced, Madam Liu interjected, “Master Zenith, could you be mistaken? Just now, your disciple, Master Crescent, said that Rong Qi was born under an ominous star.”
“Disciple?” Master Zenith turned, his gaze falling on the visibly flustered and evasive Crescent, “Crescent, how many more will you deceive in my name before you’re satisfied? You were expelled from the temple and stripped of your title four years ago by our master. From now on, do not harm others or yourself using the name of Crescent. Or else, I will not forgive you.”
After addressing Crescent, Master Zenith turned to the crowd, “This man has been expelled from our temple and has been deceiving people under my name, causing much harm. I apologize for the trouble he’s brought to your household and for the unfounded accusations against Rong Qi. I hereby vouch for her. Her features show she is a person blessed with continuous fortune, not the calamity Crescent speaks of. Please, do not wrong an innocent..”
