“Even the students from Year 3 Class 1 dislike me as well,” Lu Siyu said generously, “But it’s okay, after all, we were classmates, and I believe they will come to understand me someday.”
Qin Yue frowned, “You can be generous in school, but you can’t afford to be like that in the entertainment industry. The tactics of scheming and intrigue in the industry are no less than those palace dramas you watch. If you’re not careful, you might end up being stepped on and unable to recover.”
“I understand, Brother Qin, I’ll be more careful in the future,” Lu Siyu obediently replied.
Qin Yue thought for a moment, “For the sake of your future, it’s better to have your family handle her as soon as possible. Otherwise, if someone finds her and she starts talking nonsense to the media, it could become troublesome.”
Lu Siyu was personally entrusted to Qin Yue by the CEO of Starlight Culture, and all information about her was kept confidential. As a result, Qin Yue knew very little about Lu Siyu’s past and family background.
Based on his past experiences, there was a high possibility that these conflicts from school would lead to the exposure of some scandals in the future.
“Okay,” Lu Siyu nodded.
The next day was Saturday, and Lu Miao had planned to talk to Gu Jinxi about what had been happening with him latelyu
To her surprise, when she woke up in the morning, Gu Jinxi had already left.
He left a note for her, saying that he was going to practice driving to prepare for an upcoming race.
He had earned a spot in the top three during the mid-term exam and secured his participation in the race.
It was rare to see Gu Jinxi so diligent, which was a good thing.
After having breakfast and greeting Lu Yinan, she hailed a taxi and went straight to City God Temple.
Since Director Han had handed the management of City God Temple to her, it had been Lin Bufan who had been taking care of things for her.
Lin Bufan had been urging her to come over for a few days.
Moreover, Master Lingxu was still unconscious, so she needed to check on him.
As soon as she entered the temple, she noticed some changes. There were more young priests taking care of the place, some cleaning the courtyard, while others were busy attending to the incense burners in the main hall. In a side hall, they had set up a place for fortune-telling and divination.
Lu Miao made her way to the rear hall without delay.
Lin Bufan was already waiting there, holding a folder in his hand.
As soon as he saw her, he approached and complained, “Boss, managing the temple is so tiring. I thought I could relax here, but there’s even more work here than at the company. Look, my dark circles are about to hit the ground.” Lin Bufan pulled his eyelids to show her.
Lu Miao casually grabbed something in the air and then pointed at his forehead.
Lin Bufan felt refreshed instantly. He said in surprise,” Boss, what did you do just now?””
“I gave you some of the accumulated merits in the temple. “Lu Miao said.
The more people came to pray, the more merit the City God Temple would receive. For cultivators, cultivating here was twice the result with half the effort.
Lin Bufan had been doing well during this period of time, and the merit accumulated in the temple could be seen everywhere.
“Hehe, Master, when will you teach me?”Lin Bufan said with a smile.
Lu Miao said,” I’ve opened your spiritual altar just now. From now on, every breath you take in the temple will be absorbing and cultivating.”
The most difficult part of cultivation was to break through the spiritual altar. Some cultivators would spend their entire lives trying to break through the spiritual altar.
“Thank you, Master!” Lin Bufan said happily and handed the folder to her.
“These are some of my plans for the City God Temple. Previously, because of those Evils, there were many places in the City God Temple that were not open to the public. As a result, although the temple appeared to occupy a large area from the outside, there were actually few places visitors could access after entering. Now that you’ve dealt with those Evils, I plan to clean up the north and south courtyards and turn City God Temple into a place that combines prayer and worship with tourism.”
Lu Miao opened the document and looked at it. The document had detailed descriptions of every plan, as well as the plans for the City God Temple for the next ten years.
Apart from the temple itself, there were plans for developing a Taoist academy and other related industries in the surrounding area.
Though Lin Bufan might seem unreliable on ordinary days, this matter showed that he was quite dedicated in managing the temple.
“These plans are good. What do you need me to do?” Lu Miao looked up at him.
Lin Bufan directly replied, “Although we’ve temporarily resolved the issue with those evil spirits, once there are more tourists, there may still be loopholes in terms of management. To prevent accidents, I want you to reinforce the seals.”
Lu Miao lightly tapped her fingertips on the information. Her original seals could ensure that the malevolent spirits wouldn’t appear for several hundred years, but that was under the assumption that nobody broke the seals.
Previously, although the City God Temple was prosperous with worshippers, most of them were local residents of Luo City. However, if they followed Lin Bufan’s plans and opened up all areas, there would indeed be more considerations for safety with the influx of tourists. “I can completely get rid of all those Evil spirits.”
“That’s great.” Lin Bufan said excitedly.
Compared to other aspects, the Evil spirits were the biggest hidden danger, and it would be best if they could be completely resolved.
Lu Miao instructed,” Go and get the talisman paper and brush. I’ll go to the side halls to take a look first.”‘
“Alright.”
Thinking about Lu Miao’s impressive feat of summoning divine beasts with a simple gesture last time, Lin Bufan hurriedly rushed off to get the required items.
Lu Miao went to the front by herself.
The two side halls were originally sealed to suppress malevolent spirits, and both the front and rear halls had large and imposing deity statues.
The talismans originally pasted on the doors had taded and were now on the verge of falling off in the gentle breeze.
Lu Miao reached out and removed them before proceeding towards the rear.
Unexpectedly, in addition to these, there were several small temples in the side halls—God of Wealth Temple and Temple of Matrimony.
These two places were undoubtedly the most prosperous areas in major temples throughout the country!
No wonder Lin Bufan wanted to open them as tourist attractions; it was indeed quite suitable.
After taking a turn, Lu Miao was about to walk directly to the front hall when she saw Master Jiu Hua and Grandma Gu walking out together from the front hall.
Lu Miao was startled, quickly stepped back a few steps, and hid behind the door.
How much time had passed, and why hadn’t Master Jiu Hua left yet?
Last time, when she was suppressing the evil spirits at City God Temple, she had coincidentally met him. Many people were present at that time, and she couldn’t deny her identity as the Master Mountain River. She had no choice but to admit it.
The key point was that she had arrived in a hurry that day and hadn’t disguised herself in any way. If she was seen by Grandma Gu now, wouldn’t she be exposed directly?
As she hid, she heard Master Jiu Hua saying to the old lady, “You have been saying that you wanted to meet the Master Mountain River. I have met her before.”
“Met her? Where?” Grandma Gu asked anxiously..
