Huijue shook his head. "Fellow Daoist, I'm not here for revenge. Taiyun is handling things himself—it's only right."
Lin Chen smiled. "Master, why have you come here?"
Huijue's expression was kind. "Fellow Daoist, I came to advise you not to change people's fates at will—it goes against the laws of heaven."
Lin Chen Mingwu couldn't help but think, another lecture, huh?
Huijue's eyes glowed with golden light as he began reciting the Lotus Sutra. His voice was clear, measured, and rhythmic; the sacred sound reverberated through the room, leaving viewers stunned.
The netizens' barrage exploded:
"Whoa, this old monk is powerful!"
"Reciting sutras actually feels relaxing… he must be a famous monk!"
"Looks like the Daoist has met a tough opponent this time."
Wonder Woman, watching from afar, joked: "Expose the dirty history of that stinky Taoist priest, let Da Le-le see!"
Lin Chen shook his head. The old monk came to my livestream to lecture? This is intolerable.
He suddenly shouted, "Come! Soldiers! Fight!"
The moment he recited three words of the Nine-Character Mantra, Huijue's Lotus Sutra faltered. Huijue frowned—this little Taoist was no ordinary man.
The live-chat went wild:
"What is the Daoist reciting? The old monk's chanting just lost its rhythm!"
"I know! That's the nine-character mantra from Sakura Country!"
"No way! He stole it and learned it… unbelievable!"
"The Taoist priest is so powerful! The nine-character mantra can boost morale, exorcise ghosts, and remove evil spirits!"
"I feel full of fighting spirit now—I could move hundreds of bricks this afternoon!"
"Master, accept me as your apprentice! I want to read this mantra to my employees every day!"
Lin Chen waved his hand. "Everyone, the Nine-Character Mantra temporarily boosts energy, but it also consumes your own. Make sure you rest adequately."
Huijue looked flustered—the little Taoist had stolen the limelight again. The monks around him were irate:
"Stinky Taoist priest! You think you can compare with the abbot?"
"You know a bit of Taoism and you swindle everywhere—shameful!"
"I hear he has girlfriends… too much!"
Lin Chen muttered, "Huijue, are your monks always this busy?"
Huijue clasped his hands in frustration. "Fellow Daoist, listen to their advice—it's all for your own good."
Hearing "all for your own good," Lin Chen was exasperated.
He used his physiognomy technique to scan the four monks in the camera, continuing to endure Huijue's sermon while working his hands.
Netizens were relentless:
"Master, what is going on?"
"Why don't you fight back? The Daoist priest's behavior is confusing!"
"That fat-headed monk, Huifang, is married yet pretending to be attractive!"
Lin Chen smirked. "Huifang, do you think your daughter-in-law really wanted to marry your son? Actually, your precious grandson isn't even your son's."
Passing a human-relationship check, Lin Chen realized the grandson bore less resemblance to Huifang than expected. He even uncovered a DNA truth years later—Huifang's suspicions about his daughter-in-law were confirmed.
Huifang's face darkened as he scolded her over the phone. The daughter-in-law, assuming a paternity test had been done, fired back:
"Xi Xiu Ting, your son's a fool! What is my mother thinking?"
"You're uglier than your son—I feel like vomiting!"
"I have money; what do I care about broken shoes like you?"
Lin Chen smiled at Huijue, whose face on-screen had turned purple. "Master, it seems your junior monk's story is quite lively."
Huijue, furious, clasped his hands. "Fellow Daoist, thank you for uncovering the black sheep among us. I will expel him from the temple today."
Netizens teased mercilessly:
"The old monk abandons his vehicle to preserve his dignity!"
"Survival with broken arms!"
Lin Chen pointed at the thin monk. "It's you. You claimed to sell sacred magical tools, exploited women, and ruined the lives of three respectable women. They were too afraid to speak, but now they've asked the police."
The thin monk's eyes widened. Lin Chen continued: "The detectives are here. You can reduce your sentence if you surrender voluntarily."
Trembling, the thin monk raised his hands. "I surrender… I don't want a battle like this!"
A dozen police detectives entered the temple, live rounds ready. They apprehended the thin monk immediately.
Other monks were also taken:
"Chen Qiangshi, you're a suspect in a 35-year-old robbery and murder case. Come with us for questioning."
Huijue, hands clasped, frowned. "Lin Daochang… did you report me?"
"Yes."
Huijue nodded. "I see… even after decades in hiding and plastic surgery, I cannot escape justice. You've exposed the truth."
It turned out that Huijue and a few accomplices had stolen a female accountant's year-end bonus decades ago, killed her, and tried to pin the blame elsewhere.
Lin Chen's expression hardened. "Her parents suffered. Didn't your conscience bother you?"
Huijue sighed, finally at peace. "Sin… for so many years I could not sleep. Now I can face it."
He looked at Lin Chen. "Thank you, Lin Daochang. But I warn you—as your influence grows, you will attract attention from unscrupulous people in my Buddhism. Be careful."
Lin Chen nodded. "Noted, Master."
