The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 829 Getting Worse the More One Tries to Justify

Chapter 829: Chapter 829 Getting Worse the More One Tries to Justify

The diner, whose name we didn’t know, tore down the stage with just a word, leaving Hua Liangjun and Li Yumeng, who had just spoken so confidently, dumbstruck, looking every bit the fools.

They had never imagined that the knife would indeed come from behind.

Li Yumeng struggled to maintain her composure and said, "This gentleman must have misunderstood us, this is just a magic performance."

"Kid, little... ah, forget it, I’ll just call you kid, otherwise it feels awkward," the plump diner swung his skewer of lamb, looked at Li Yumeng’s fully feminized face, and said, "If you want to see all that fancy stuff, I could believe you’re doing a magic show. But how do you explain that pink short sword of yours that chopped so cleanly it even took out the back of a car?"

After stating this, he rushed in front of Brother Hu’s smartphone camera and shouted, "Folks, it was a slash through the air! I was right there on the spot, saw it with my own eyes, it’s the absolute truth, if I tell a single lie, may my son be born without an asshole."

"Oh right, those talismans that the kid threw weren’t simple either, they blew a bunch of holes in the ground. Those pits must still be there, you all can go take a look. And, mind you, I wasn’t the only one who saw it, there were a hundred or two hundred people."

"These two lads are no simple characters, I suspect they might be from one of those mountains of legend."

"Brother, do you know if there are other witnesses?" Brother Hu, equally chubby, asked the plump diner, "Just your word won’t do, they’ll think you’re a shill."

"I’m no damn shill, if they won’t even admit to what they’ve done, why would I shill for them? Is there such a thing as reverse shilling?" the chubby diner cursed, clearly annoyed, "As for other witnesses, I don’t know, I didn’t recognize anyone."

Brother Hu nodded firmly and said, "Nowadays, there actually is reverse shilling, the more you deny, the more people will believe it’s true."

"Tch, people these days must have something wrong with their brains," the chubby diner shook his head and muttered, "Believe it or not, I don’t give a damn."

Seeing an opportunity, Hua Liangjun quickly approached the diner, turned his back, and pulled out a stack of cash from his pocket to stuff into the diner’s hand, "Brother, that’s enough, let’s not overdo it, if you keep going it’ll seem too forced."

The diner, looking at the few thousand yuan in cash, was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Awesome, there’s actually such a tactic? Brother, you’re really something, trying to make me look like a real shill, huh? If you’re going to do that, at least hide from the camera a bit, man, they’re live streaming, and you’re giving me money on camera. Isn’t this like bringing attention to the place where you’ve hidden your stolen silver?"

Having said that, he nonchalantly pocketed the money and went back to his seat.

Now it was Hua Liangjun’s turn to be stunned, realizing he had indeed done something superfluous.

Meanwhile, on Brother Hu and the others’ live stream public chat, the comments were exploding.

"Guys, don’t believe that pretty boy, this dude is definitely a Cultivator from the legends."

"Look at him, first he flatly denies it, then after Brother Hu mentions a possible shill, he feigns taking out money, deliberately trying to make us think that the other person is a shill. Who hires a shill like that? People usually do it secretly, establishing their own persona, but he rather wished we’d believe right away that the other person was a shill, it’s freaking hilarious."

"What if... this is all just an act for us to watch?"

"Brother, having a brain is a good thing, remember to use it when you speak. Brother Hu’s a store review streamer, he has never broadcasted anything like this before, it’s like comparing apples to oranges, what kind of performance is that?"

"What if... he’s changing his style today? Maybe he’s planning to promote a fake Cultivator in the future!"

"Oh man, you really love to argue, don’t you? The kind of store he reviews, it’d be faster to earn money switching platforms than staging all these acts, you idiot, I can’t even bother with you."

"Brothers, stay cool, wise men don’t argue with fools, we know the truth and that’s enough."

The barrage of comments was a mix of opinions, but seven or eight out of ten viewers were already leaning toward the belief that Hua Liangjun and Li Yumeng were indeed the legendary cultivators.

Not far away, Li Qing spoke with a deadpan face to Miao Yue, who was still eagerly eating meat and guzzling wine, "Your two brothers there, I’m afraid they’re done for. They’ve really shot themselves in the foot this time, and it seems they won’t be able to clear things up."

Miao Yue lifted his head from a pile of bones, nodded weakly, "I see it too, from now on, I don’t know them."

"You’re not going to think of a way to save them?" asked Li Qing with a hint of amusement. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Miao Yue shook his head, "Brother, you’re right, no one else can save this situation. They’ve made it this way themselves, and now the more they try to clarify, the worse it gets. Just leave it, live and let live, there’s no cure for it."

Li Qing silently covered his face and sighed softly, "But really, the performance of your two brothers is indeed quite worrying."

While they were talking, Wu Xingxing, wearing a pair of disposable gloves, suddenly walked out of the store and yelled disdainfully at the live streamers blocking the entrance, "If you want to eat, come in and sit. If not, don’t block the way. How are we supposed to do business with you in the doorway? Have some decency!"

"Miss, we’re live streamers. Blocking your door for a bit might indeed be a slight inconvenience, but it’s sure to bring some popularity to your place," Brother Hu sized up Wu Xingxing and immediately straightened his somewhat slouched posture.

"Being a live streamer makes you important? I’ll say it again, you’re blocking my door," Wu Xingxing shouted angrily.

"Miss, usually we charge for _visiting shops like this, and today we have even more important matters. Please, just a little understanding," said Brother Hu, his oily smile plastered on his face, "Our presence here doesn’t really affect other customers coming in."

Wu Xingxing’s face darkened immediately and she shouted angrily, "Move!"

"Alright, alright, make way, we’re going in," Brother Hu muttered, pulling a face.

At that moment, a new storm of comments erupted in his live stream room.

"Brother Hu, be nice to the lady. If you treat my girlfriend like that, I’m going to be mad!"

"Such a pure-looking girl, I think I’m falling in love."

"Where is this place? I want to go eat there!"

"You’re going there to eat? I can’t be bothered to burst your bubble."

"Brother Hu, share the location!"

"I find that everyone is kinda blind. Didn’t Brother Hu say before? Tongcheng, Sanhe Village!"

...

Li Qing watched the scene unfold, picked up the iron pick in his hand, and walked over with a grim face.

He was originally enjoying the show, but then the trouble landed on his doorstep, and he suddenly became unhappy.

"Brother, stay calm, it’s not that big of a deal, don’t be rash. They’ve already moved away from the door," Miao Yue, holding a pair of greasy hands, hurriedly spoke, "My two useless brothers have already made such a mess of things, we can’t afford more chaos."
