After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 688

Chapter 688: Are You a Shill?
Her face displayed an expression as though she had witnessed an epic love story, causing Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng’s faces to darken instantly.

The two exchanged a glance, their mutual disdain evident, and in perfect synchrony, they each took a step aside, distancing themselves from her.

The girl exclaimed, “Oh my, this is even more thrilling!” Zhouzhou, puzzled by her expression, thought this sister truly strange.

Unaware that her thoughts had wandered to another realm, Zhouzhou waved a hand in front of her face. “Sister, shouldn’t you be leaving now? Your parents are waiting for you at home.”

What was she staring at her dads for? Hearing this, the girl snapped back to reality and sprang to her feet.

“Oh right, I need to go back and tell my parents the wedding is off. I’ll be off then, little sister. I’ll visit you again in a few days.”

“Alright,” Zhouzhou replied happily. Brother Dafu said repeat customers are the most important.

This spectacle left the surrounding vendors in shock, eyeing Zhouzhou suspiciously. Was she really not a Shill?

Zhouzhou ignored their doubts and continued her hustle. With the recent scene, her business picked up noticeably.

However, Zhouzhou noticed one thing. Why did the women who came for fortune-telling all stare at her dads?

One even approached Qin Lie directly, holding out her phone and winking coquettishly. “Handsome, could I ask for your phone number?”

Qin Lie’s face turned black. Ye Lingfeng, however, laughed gleefully, enjoying the spectacle. “Go ahead, Mr. Qin, you’re single too.”

Hurry up and get married and have a daughter, so you’ll stop competing with him for Zhouzhou.

Before he could finish his laughter, another phone appeared in front of him, held by a shy girl in a white dress. “Hello, may I get to know you?”

Ye Lingfeng’s laughter ceased immediately. Qin Lie relaxed his brows and returned his words verbatim, “Mr. Ye should accept it too.”

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng shot him a sinister look, but Qin Lie remained unfazed. After a few seconds, Ye Lingfeng suddenly picked up Zhouzhou, rejecting the girl without expression. “No, it’s inconvenient. I have a daughter.”

Qin Lie, a step slower, could only hold Zhouzhou’s hand and declare, “She is my daughter too.”

The two girls were speechless. Their gazes changed instantly, clearly misunderstanding something.

This time, the two men did not intend to explain, choosing to cut off their thoughts from the root.

Zhouzhou also became anxious, hugging each neck and declaring dominantly, “Yes, they are both my fathers!”

No one was allowed to take them from her! She bared her little teeth, glaring fiercely at the girls.

Seeing this, the girls had to leave, embarrassed. Zhouzhou finally sighed in relief, glancing at Qin Lie and then at Ye Lingfeng. Seeing many women still staring at them, she grew anxious.

“Daddy and Sharp Tongue Daddy, go home. I can handle the stall alone.”

Otherwise, she feared earning money but losing her fathers, a great loss indeed. Her dads were not for sale at any price!

Seeing the little girl’s frantic state, Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng’s expressions softened simultaneously.

Ancestral Master emerged from the statue, saying, “Exactly, go home. The little girl can handle herself. Who could possibly abduct her?”

If an abductor came, it would only be an opportunity to make money. Qin Lie said, “We won’t come tomorrow. Today, we’ll stay with you for a while.” Ye Lingfeng nodded in agreement.

Seeing it was getting late and they would have to take her home soon, Zhouzhou said nothing more. Thinking of something, she added, “I can ride my scooter here tomorrow.”

“You’ll get fined,” Ye Lingfeng responded.

Recalling a past incident, Zhouzhou’s mood instantly fell, her enthusiasm deflating. Then she brightened up, “I can take the subway!”

Brother Dafu said she was short and could ride the subway for free. Seeing her determination to manage without them, Ye Lingfeng found it amusing, pinching her little pigtails, “Let the police station reap the benefits too.”

Given Zhouzhou’s appearance, human traffickers would be drawn to her like bees to honey.

She wouldn’t need to do anything, just wait for them to approach. The police would have to award her so many bonuses they’d go bankrupt.

Hearing this, Zhouzhou blinked innocently. What could she do? She was just so adorable.

Sigh! Such a dilemma. Though she appeared distressed, her delight was unmistakable, her eyes shining with pride.

At this moment, new customers arrived. Zhouzhou patted their shoulders, signaling them to put her down, quickly forgetting the earlier episode.

Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng exchanged a look, moving closer together despite their dark expressions, reducing the distance between them. Being misunderstood was better than attracting more trouble.

So be it. Life would pass quickly enough.

With each reading, Zhouzhou promoted Sanqing Temple. Ancestral Master nodded approvingly. This was the way.

Once Sanqing Temple gained fame, his golden statue would be fully restored. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but smile in anticipation.

The surrounding vendors, seeing Zhouzhou’s thriving business, couldn’t help but feel envious.

Hearing Zhouzhou’s promotion of Sanqing Temple, one scoffed, “What’s so great about Sanqing Temple? It had some fame centuries ago but has been in decline for years.”

Hearing this, the customer hesitated. Zhouzhou glared at the vendor. “Nonsense, my master said our Sanqing Temple’s incense is flourishing now.”

Ancestral Master was equally displeased, “Rubbish! Not centuries ago, but two thousand years ago, Sanqing Temple was the foremost temple!”

It was only in recent years that it began to decline. What was he blabbering about?

The vendor, still mocking, said, “How good could it be? The temple master of Sanqing Temple is famous for being a waste in the Mystery Sect.”

“A disciple trained by a waste must be a fraud, relying on luck for accurate predictions.”

Just as Tang Qing was renowned for his prowess, Li Yuanming was notorious for his incompetence.

Despite his extensive knowledge of various texts, he failed in practical applications, a peculiar figure in the Mystery Sect.

Though they were swindlers, they knew a bit about the Mystery Sect. Li Yuanming, to them, was a curious case.

This was something Zhouzhou couldn’t deny. Her master was indeed quite inept. But it was unacceptable for others to say so, especially when he questioned her abilities too.

Zhouzhou stood up abruptly, hands on hips, challenging, “Do you dare to compete with me?”

“If I win, you’ll kowtow step by step all the way to Sanqing Temple!”
