Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Taking Money Without Doing the Job?
At this moment.
The people from the Taoist Sect Association were still a bit confused.
They came here, but even though they couldn’t persuade Buddhism to stand with them to protect the city.
But this unexpected appearance of Lu Ran was something they never anticipated.
Immediately after.
The bearded man from the Fire Virtue Sect was the first to step onto the stage, followed by the members of the Taoist Sect Association.
Of course.
They didn’t really trust or listen to Lu Ran.
The reason the bearded man led the way was entirely because at Lu Ran’s side was Cen Yunuo from Daluo Palace!
And surprisingly, this event was not led by Cen Yunuo.
Instead, Cen Yunuo was following this young man!
This made the bearded man even more curious about Lu Ran’s identity.
In front of all the monks, the people from the Taoist Sect Association went onto the stage.
A large crowd, dark and dense.
To be honest, this high platform was not small, it’s an entire area in front of the main hall.
But at this moment, it was already packed by the people from the Taoist Sect Association.
It seemed a bit crowded.
The people below were all watching.
This suddenly unfolding scene was something they did not expect.
“What does this mean? Who is this guy?”
“Let’s see what’s going on first.”
“What is there to see, dare to go against Buddhism, I’m going up now to deal with him!”
“You saw the young man’s move just now, if you have the guts, just go up there, why just talk big here?”
“Anyway, I support Buddhism, nothing matters!”
…
The crowd below was noisy.
“What do you mean?” The middle-aged monk came to his senses, looked at Lu Ran, and asked again.
This was not the usual temperament and way of doing things.
In the past, when someone caused trouble to this extent, there would have been a reason to act directly.
But the capability shown by Lu Ran just now made him a bit cautious.
Instead, he hoped a big Buddhist figure in the background would take action; although he was the host, his strength in the Celestial Dragon Sect was not that remarkable.
He definitely wouldn’t do something risky that seemed highly dangerous.
“Damn it, are you deaf? Then I’ll repeat it again. First, I’m here to demand money, we can talk one thing at a time.”
Speaking of which.
Lu Ran pulled Cheng Maixiang out from behind.
“Someone from your Celestial Dragon Sect deceived her out of her money, give it back now, we will talk after you repay the debt.”
The middle-aged monk glanced at Cheng Maixiang and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Our Celestial Dragon Sect is a sacred place of Buddhism, impossible to do anything like deceiving money, you got the wrong person.”
Lu Ran raised an eyebrow.
The monk’s reaction was quite normal. If he directly admitted to cheating money, that would be funny.
Lu Ran turned his head to Cheng Maixiang.
Asked, “Can you recognize the monk who deceived your money? Is he here? How much did he cheat you out of?”
Unexpectedly.
Cheng Maixiang pointed directly at the middle-aged monk in front.
Said, “It’s him, Master Puzhi, he’s the one who deceived my money, a total of 133,752 yuan.”
Ah?
Lu Ran was somewhat astonished, he hadn’t expected this.
So the swindler is this guy right here?
“Cheng Maixiang! What nonsense are you speaking? When did I cheat you out of money? I don’t even know you!” The monk suddenly shouted.
Even Lu Ran was a bit confused.
Not admitting is what you’d expect, swindlers wouldn’t easily confess.
But why did this monk suddenly react so strongly, his emotions so agitated?
A bit weird.
Right after.
After the monk shouted, he cautiously looked at the few higher-ups of the Celestial Dragon Sect beside him.
They also had their eyes on this Monk Puzhi.
Suddenly, Lu Ran understood.
Actually, this Monk Puzhi didn’t swindle Cheng Maixiang’s money for the Celestial Dragon Sect, he cheated it privately.
And judging by the situation, it seems that the top of the Celestial Dragon Sect strongly prohibits such private deception amongst subordinates.
Lu Ran found it somewhat amusing.
Said, “Since you don’t know her, how would you know she is called Cheng Maixiang? I haven’t mentioned her name from the beginning, no one has.”
“You…” Monk Puzhi was suddenly at a loss for words, realizing only then that in his loss of composure, he had made such a foolish mistake.
“I didn’t cheat her!” Monk Puzhi said between gritted teeth.
Alright.
He didn’t even bother to explain how he knew Cheng Maixiang’s name.
Just flatly denying.
This also led to a bout of whispers from below.
“This seems indeed a bit off.”
“Why doesn’t Master Puzhi explain?”
“I trust in Master Puzhi’s character anyway.”
“He can’t be a swindler, Buddhism cannot have swindlers!”
“Even if he took her money, it can’t be said he’s a swindler.”
…
The noise from below seemed to alert Monk Puzhi.
He quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes, I took her money, didn’t recall earlier. That money was used to buy high-end Buddhist Artifacts, those are limited edition, I gave her the opportunity, she didn’t cherish it, but instead falsely accuses me, ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!”
Lu Ran looked at Monk Puzhi indifferently.
Nodded.
Said, “Whatever, we don’t want to buy anymore, refund the money.”
Ah…
Monk Puzhi frowned, said, “High-end Buddhist Artifacts are limited edition, it’s not something you can just ask for or return like that, the money can’t be refunded!”
Lu Ran nodded again.
Said, “Alright then, bring over the high-end Buddhist Artifact.”
Ah?
Monk Puzhi was taken aback.
“Ah what, we’ve given you the money, you’re not refunding the money nor providing the item, what do you mean? Taking money without delivering anything?” Lu Ran retorted.
The people from the Taoist Sect Association burst into laughter.
The Buddhists’ faces turned extremely unpleasant.
In these few words, Monk Puzhi lost his composure, now his conversation with Lu Ran seemed exceedingly weak!
Monk Puzhi stammered.
Where would he have any high-end Buddhist Artifact?
Just an excuse not to refund the money.
But now.
Lu Ran wants the high-end Buddhist Artifact, where could he get it from?
Because it simply doesn’t exist!
At this moment.
An old monk beside suddenly shouted, “Puzhi, refund the money, don’t engage in these pre-order things again. Our Celestial Dragon Sect’s high-end Buddhist Artifacts aren’t easily produced, she doesn’t want this opportunity, then let’s forget it, we will select someone else with fate.”
Hey…
The old monk spoke!
Lu Ran turned his head, smilingly looked at the old monk.
Thinking, you old thing, keep showing off, next you’ll be dealt with!
The old monk, being stared at by Lu Ran, inexplicably felt a chill, as if he’s been targeted by a poisonous snake, utterly uncomfortable!
Monk Puzhi had no choice but to grudgingly refund the money to Cheng Maixiang.
Cheng Maixiang, looking at the balance on her phone, was ecstatic.
Setting aside her own ailment, at least the money was returned, it can be saved for her father.
Lu Ran was left puzzled.
The world has merged.
Why can these people’s phones still make transfers?
No sense at all!
But it didn’t matter, the basic currency now is Gold Coins, this former money doesn’t hold much value anymore.
Though he couldn’t bear to dash Cheng Maixiang.
