Chapter 513 - 233: Can’t Learn It? Truly Become Fools!
As for whether the Chen Family would teach it, they weren’t sure, they were just giving it a try.
Anyway, if they didn’t teach it, all they’d lose were some trivial things, which they had plenty of, to be honest.
Lin Hunan, a blogger known for stirring up trouble, had a lot of online trolls under his wing, and today, the online buzz about the Chen Family’s "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" drew attention.
He hadn’t expected that matters of the Taoist Sect could actually become the talk of the day, overshadowing news about celebrities and big influencers.
Originally, the all-female rescue team’s story had people talking, it was quite shocking, and its popularity was on the rise, but who knew that it would be smashed to pieces by the buzz about the Chen Family’s "Ancient Calming Heart Technique," completely drowned in popularity.
Really, in this city full of female-centric narratives, he, as a troublemaker without any sense of justice or morality, felt overwhelmed by it all.
So, the fact that the buzz about the Chen Family’s "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" smashed the all-female rescue team’s popularity was somewhat of a merit.
Lin Hunan never expected to receive an order of 500,000, targeting the Chen Family.
This was truly beyond his expectations.
However, not earning money is foolish, so he looked at the client’s request. The buyer was anonymous, and their aim was to defame the Chen Family, saying they were hypocritical and didn’t fully teach the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique," despite appearing righteous. Otherwise, everyone in the Taoist Sect should have learned it by now.
Upon seeing this order, Lin Hunan instinctively thought it might be someone from within the Taoist Sect making a dirty move, as they were the only ones who cared about this matter.
He didn’t suspect anyone from the Buddhist Sect since the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" had no relevance to those baldies.
However, that wasn’t important. Since he was paid, he needed to resolve their issue, so he immediately began recording a video: "The online discussion about the Chen Family’s ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ is really lively. I have to say, it must be very magical, otherwise, Master Wu wouldn’t endorse it so much and even create that painting...."
"...Later, the Chen Family disclosed the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ in a news interview, earning themselves a great reputation for selflessness and admiration, skyrocketing their popularity. However, from what I know, it seems like every Taoist Sect is learning this ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique,’ yet none seem to be able to learn it properly."
"This raises questions. Is it that the people in the Taoist Sect are really that incompetent, or did the Chen Family not fully teach the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’?"
This essentially presented a choice, but the language subtly suggested that the Chen Family didn’t teach it fully.
He promptly uploaded the recorded news on Tiao Yin, then deployed his online troll army to stir up and guide the negative buzz against the Chen Family.
Moreover, after he posted the video, he discovered that he wasn’t the only one targeting the Chen Family; others were also accusing the Chen Family of not fully teaching the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique."
This was quite a notable action, making him curious which place within the Taoist Sect had initiated it. It surely must be a sacred place within the Taoist community that wasn’t short on money.
Upon thinking it over back and forth, only two places came to mind, and he realized that he had missed the mark from the beginning.
However, just as his troll army began to ramp up, a video that no one expected suddenly went viral.
When Lin Hunan saw this video, he was dumbfounded.
With the release of this video, weren’t all their efforts rendered futile?
Did it turn out that all the people in the Taoist Sect were useless?
However, he certainly wasn’t going to refund the money from the order, so he simply deleted his own video and happily pocketed the money.
Meanwhile, at a certain prestigious Lin Temple, the new head received the news and was dumbfounded too.
What the heck?
If they had known about this earlier, they wouldn’t have spent those trivial things, although trivial, you can never have too much.
The most appalling was Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
The Celestial Master, after finishing his evening meditation, was preparing to rest when several old mages hurriedly entered his Dharma Room.
"What’s the matter?" he asked in confusion at the group.
One of the mages quickly handed him a video, and the moment he watched it, he couldn’t remain calm.
They had previously issued that announcement; did it not now make them look rather foolish?
