Chapter 282 - 148: Liu Ye: I Became a Villain? Time to Upgrade!
Chen Kai subconsciously glanced at the monk beside him again.
If this Mr. Liu really wants to rent the mountain behind the Chen Family to build a temple, and it’s still overlooking everything, isn’t that clearly trying to suppress the Chen Family?
The Buddhist-Taoist contention has existed since ancient times, and the subsequent karmic consequences would be significant.
Master Xinyan was full of doubt, feeling that the county cultural tourism director looked at him with some hostility.
What’s going on?
Didn’t offend him, right?
Liu Ye also sensed it and asked, puzzled, "Director Chen? Is there some problem with me contracting the mountain behind the Chen Family?"
Seeing his question, Chen Kai could only remind him, "Mr. Liu, it may be your first time here at the Chen Family, and there are things you might not know. The Chen Family has many situations that are hard to understand."
"For instance, there’s a rumor online that disrespecting the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable leads to people getting hemorrhoids and being hospitalized. Sometimes things seem fake, but that tourist with hemorrhoids is still in the hospital."
The implication was clear enough. How could Liu Ye not understand, but what shocked him was that this person’s status, saying such things, indicates that the Chen Family’s rumor is true.
Moreover, why does he feel like Director Chen is reminding him, prompting him to ask again in confusion, "Director Chen, am I not allowed to rent this mountain?"
Chen Kai wondered if the other party was pretending; wasn’t he clear enough?
So his tone turned cold, "Mr. Liu, you’re wealthy, no doubt, and you can indeed lease this mountain. But if you plan to build some temple on it for this master, you better be prepared if anything happens!"
"Huh????" Liu Ye was dumbfounded.
What the heck?
When did he ever mention building a temple?
He naturally knew some things about the Mystic Sect, and building a temple on the Chen Family’s land would be nothing short of a provocation!
This is a huge misunderstanding.
Beside him, even Master Xinyan shivered involuntarily, feeling as if something catastrophic was approaching.
He quickly said, "Amitabha Buddha, Director Chen, you’ve misunderstood. Benefactor Liu had no such intention."
Liu Ye also caught on at this point and hurriedly said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I’m looking to rent the mountain behind the Chen Family to offer it to the Chen Family for blessings."
"What???" Chen Kai was visibly stunned, then realized perhaps he was worried for nothing and misunderstood?
This immediately turned his cold demeanor sunny and warm, "Mr. Liu, let’s discuss the mountain contract. You want Patriarch Chen to bless you sooner, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that’s quite important!" Liu Ye also breathed a sigh of relief, glad the misunderstanding was cleared.
Master Xinyan also breathed easier, wondering whether he should leave the Chen Family for now, otherwise...
...
After Chen Han and his junior sister discussed the performance project, come afternoon, the Chen Family’s Martial Arts Arena became bustling, setting up a stage.
Chen Han then looked at the data on the light screen in his mind; both the requirement of 100 million wealth and 500,000 reputation were fulfilled.
[The Sect’s Base meets the upgrade requirements, upgrade immediately?]
This time, he didn’t immediately choose yes because Chu Hao, that Demon Path demon, sent him a message, saying Mr. Liu was in talks with the county and might offer a big surprise.
He didn’t expect Mr. Liu, after donating 100 million, would even lease a mountain for the Chen Family.
This also showed that Mr. Liu really had money.
And clearly, it also indicated how painfully he was suffering from that rheumatic paralysis condition.
If that’s the case, modifying later might present even better options.
Chen Han also prepared a table, with a few watermelons on it, and with a thought, stored the table and watermelons instantly into the warehouse.
He already had the performance sequence planned. After taking the stage, he’ll have the lion-headed geese brought out to perform a Beast Taming Technique for everyone.
Then, using Ancient Magic to wow the crowd, performing tricks like transforming fruits or flowers, as the warehouse could store plenty.
And finally, pull off something grand.
Everyone currently thought the Cloud Barrier Technique was just special effects. After the video of the Cloud Barrier Technique, he hadn’t showcased it again.
At that time, even a small-scale Cloud Barrier Technique would suffice; just 2-3 meters, by tossing a Cloud Barrier Pill and when mist starts rising, once people realize it’s not special effects, it would be astonishing enough.
Then in the mist, conjure a table with a few watermelons on it.
It would be more shocking.
Afterwards, he could cut the watermelons and share them with the front row audience for interaction.
Of course, he could also have the Three Oxen of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity and Youcai perform together, as they’ve all become quite adept, and their performance together would undoubtedly be vibrant and exciting.
But figuring out how to have them perform would require some planning and strategy.
The table and watermelons were swiftly stored in the warehouse and then placed before him with a thought, showing no issue at all.
There’s also another matter, the Ancient Calming Heart Technique; he might recite the Ancient Calming Heart Technique to showcase the Chen Family’s prowess in scripture recitation to all tourists.
Thus, arranging for a Scripture Reciter was a must.
He sent his junior sister a message to check on the progress of arranging a Scripture Reciter.
By evening, his junior sister hurried over, somewhat helplessly saying, "Senior Brother, there’s a granduncle’s grandson who just graduated college, majoring in music. I spoke with his granduncle about this, and he was very proactive, wanting his grandson to return, even his parents too."
"But he took a job at a studio doing music editing and isn’t keen on coming back, mainly because he’s dating someone, a copywriter at the same studio. Young lovers in a heated romance really don’t want to be apart."
