Chapter 1507

The Imperial Academy.

Huang Zhizhan, Chi Potian, and others frowned the moment they heard the news.

"This morning, news spread rapidly that bamboo is known as Ghost-Fear Wood and that bamboo paper might damage literary fortune."

"This news has even reached our Imperial Academy; many scholars are discussing it!"

Chi Potian said indifferently, "This must be the Pei family's dirty tactics, pushed from behind the scenes."

"This tactic is too clumsy."

Huang Zhizhan naturally knew this, but after hearing it, there was no joy on his face.

On the contrary, he said with a solemn expression.

"But now there is news of a Master Li saying that this bamboo paper severs the literary pulse and is a revelation from heaven!"

Chen Wanjuan curled his lips in contempt, "Brother Huang? You believe this news? This is even more of the Pei family's tactics, using the talk of ghosts and gods to make a fuss and fool the uneducated commoners."

"Would we scholars believe such rhetoric?"

"But this Master Li is going to demonstrate it on the spot, today at noon, when the sun is at its strongest, he will set up an altar on Vermilion Bird Street to make the will of heaven manifest!"

"What?"

Once these words were spoken.

Even Chen Wanjuan and Chi Potian could no longer remain calm.

Setting up an altar to perform rituals on the spot—if there was no confidence, that would undoubtedly be asking for ridicule.

Conversely, it meant this so-called Master Li was truly confident!

Did he really have the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods?

Everyone's eyes flickered.

"Could it be that this bamboo paper really damages literary fortune?" Lin Shuhan frowned, saying somewhat uncertainly.

"Bullshit! It's just the Pei family's despicable tactics! Brother Lin, do you not believe in the Living Yama and instead believe in the Pei family?"

Chen Wanjuan scolded him immediately upon hearing this, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"I was just saying it, why is Brother Chen getting angry? After all, setting up an altar on the street—if it's fake, I'm afraid this Master Li will be beaten to death!" Lin Shuhan said.

After saying this, Chen Wanjuan stopped talking.

He had also thought it was a clumsy lie, as it was too obvious, but with the altar ritual, he too began to waver.

Chi Potian said calmly, "Everything outside of excrement is a small matter; don't lose your composure."

"Whether it's true or false, we'll know as soon as we see it!"

"Right, we'll know as soon as we see it!"

"If this Master Li is faking it, then we'll make him look good, beat him until his shit sprays out!"

"..."

The Cui family.

Cui Xinghe looked at the nearly two-hundred-pound woman with a charming face in front of him, unable to help but be dumbfounded.

"Father, is this your concubine who hasn't yet entered the door?"

He looked at Cui Jian, feeling as if ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping through his heart.

"Yes, yes!"

Cui Jian said with a smile, feeling secretly pleased.

"Father, didn't you say it was a beauty? This, this, this..."

"Your father has had a heavier taste recently. Isn't this beautiful? Your father thinks she looks quite good."

Cui Xinghe took a deep breath and fell silent.

At this moment.

A servant entered the mansion and delivered the news.

Cui Xinghe pondered for a moment, "The Pei family's plan is quite ruthless, linking the bamboo paper to Ghost-Fear Wood and the talk of ghosts and gods to damage literary fortune. It's truly a good move!"

"But this altar ritual is interesting."

"Father, I must go see this matter, so I will take my leave first."

Having said this, Cui Xinghe didn't wait for Cui Jian to speak, and immediately greased his feet and strode out of the mansion.

"This beast also has times when he's afraid? Hahaha!"

Cui Jian laughed heartily, feeling extremely satisfied.

"Master, the play is over, can you give me the money now?"

At this moment, the two-hundred-pound woman spoke in a coquettish voice, though the sound was extremely rough.

She felt a surge of joy in her heart.

Just by acting in a play, she got twenty coins for free; this was truly a gift from heaven!

But at this moment, Cui Jian's gaze swept over, and just as he was about to give the money, he suddenly felt that the woman in front of him had a unique sense of beauty.

"Wait..."

"I see that you still have some charm."

"..."

The Wang Prefecture.

Wang Zhong was drinking, and when he learned the news, he was also surprised.

"This master wants to set up an altar and perform rituals? Things... seem to be getting interesting."

"The Pei family's counterattack is even fiercer than I imagined!"

"Others might not go to see it, but I must go; I can't miss this grand show!"

Having said this, Wang Zhong didn't hesitate.

He stood up and walked out of the mansion, clearly intending to join in the fun.
