Lin Yuan had just finished his live stream and was happily slurping on instant noodles, celebrating the perfect conclusion of his teaching debut. The aroma wafting from the noodles was simply irresistible, far superior to the "Lingqi Pills" he had concocted. He couldn't understand why his fans were so obsessed with cultivation; wasn't this earthly delicacy much more delightful?
Suddenly, a knock at the door shattered the tranquility of the night, interrupting Lin Yuan's intimate moment with his noodles.
"Who is it at this hour?" Lin Yuan grumbled, reluctantly setting down his bowl and walking to the door. It was late, and he wondered if one of his fans had gone a bit overboard and was here to settle a score. The thought made him a little excited!
Peering through the peephole, he saw an old man dressed in a gray robe, exuding an air of ethereal wisdom. The robe looked dingy, and there was an indescribable odor that wafted through the door, even reaching Lin Yuan's nose.
"Could it be that someone has come to seek me out for offline instruction? Is there still someone who appreciates this retro style in this day and age?" Lin Yuan thought to himself as he quickly opened the door. Perhaps this old man was a hidden master!
"Lin Yuan?" The old man's eyes squinted, his tone devoid of warmth, much like the frozen pork in Lin Yuan's fridge that had been there for three months.
"That's me! What brings you here?" Lin Yuan asked cheerfully, even performing a slight bow, resembling a con artist from the streets.
"I am Elder Li from the Qi Gong Association," the old man replied coldly, as if he had swallowed ice. "Someone reported you for illegally disseminating cultivation methods. Come with me for an investigation."
Lin Yuan was instantly taken aback. This old man looked wise and mystical; why was he here to arrest him right off the bat? Had scamming reached such advanced levels these days?
"Old man, I think you've got it wrong! I'm conducting legitimate live stream teaching; how could it be illegal dissemination? I'm promoting traditional culture and contributing to the construction of socialist spiritual civilization!" Lin Yuan attempted to explain, while also trying to elevate his own status.
Elder Li sneered coldly, "Stop wasting words. What you're teaching has seriously disrupted the order of the cultivation world; you must be investigated." That sneer reminded Lin Yuan of the old man downstairs who sold pirated DVDs.
Lin Yuan's heart sank; it seemed that the Qi Gong Association was not here for friendly reasons. These old-timers must have thought he was encroaching on their business and were looking for trouble.
He quickly devised a plan: "How about this, let's go inside and talk slowly? I haven't finished my noodles yet; it would be such a waste."
Elder Li eyed Lin Yuan suspiciously, looking at him as if he were a lamb ready for slaughter. However, he still followed Lin Yuan inside, likely unable to resist the tempting aroma of the noodles.
Lin Yuan secretly rejoiced that he hadn't ended the live stream earlier; now he could broadcast every move this old man made. He wanted his viewers to see just how domineering the Qi Gong Association truly was!
"Hey everyone! That just now was Elder Li from the Qi Gong Association, claiming I've illegally disseminated cultivation methods and want to take me away for questioning. What do you all think? Am I corrupting children?" Lin Yuan exaggeratedly addressed the camera, making funny faces as he spoke.
The live stream suddenly erupted with excitement.
“Wow, is the Qi Gong Association really this domineering? Are they trying to create a literary inquisition?”
“Don’t be afraid, streamer! We support you! Send a lawyer’s letter!”
“Call the police! We must call the police! And order some takeout—what’s a show without some sunflower seeds and peanuts?”
Elder Li's expression darkened. “Lin Yuan, you’re playing with fire!” His face was darker than the burnt bottom of Lin Yuan's pot from yesterday.
Lin Yuan shrugged. “Come on, man, I just want everyone to know the truth. I’m defending my legal rights, and you’re obstructing justice!”
“The truth? Hmph! Do you think your little tricks can fool me?” Elder Li said, suddenly striking out with a powerful mental force directed at Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan felt a buzzing in his head, and everything went dark for a moment; he nearly fainted. It felt like being bitten by a hundred mosquitoes at once—sore, numb, and unbearably itchy.
“Dude, that was too harsh! I’m a law-abiding citizen here; this is police brutality!” Lin Yuan complained while holding his head.
Elder Li sneered. “You haven’t seen anything yet; it’s about to get worse!”
Just then, a figure burst in, holding a loudspeaker and shouting at Elder Li, “Brother Yuan, I’m here to save you! Old man, if you dare bully my Brother Yuan, I’ll take you on!”
The newcomer was none other than Lin Yuan's die-hard fan, Xiao Pang. He had been watching the live stream at home when he saw Lin Yuan being bullied and immediately rushed over. With that kind of momentum, one might think he was there to collect a debt.
The sound from the loudspeaker was deafening, even louder than the speakers of the Square Dance Aunt. Elder Li was taken aback by the sudden noise, causing his mental attack to falter.
Taking advantage of the distraction, Lin Yuan activated a trap he had set up earlier. An electric net descended from above, ensnaring Elder Li within it. This electric net had cost Lin Yuan a pretty penny online and was touted as a "Mouse-Catching Artifact." He never expected it would come in handy today.
“Sorry about this, but my signal isn’t great right now; you might have to stay put for a while,” Lin Yuan said with a beaming smile that shone brighter than someone who just won five million in the lottery.
The fans in the live stream cheered at this turn of events.
"Brother Yuan, amazing! That move was incredible!"
"Xiao Pang, a true hero! This is what a real fan looks like!"
"Qi Gong Association, what a joke! Let's unite to resist them!"
Elder Li roared in anger, trying to break free from the Electric Net, but it was futile. The Electric Net, though it appeared rudimentary, was exceptionally sturdy. After struggling for a long time, Elder Li could not escape.
He realized that he was done for today and could only leave behind a harsh remark: "Lin Yuan, just wait. This matter is far from over!" With that, Elder Li's figure vanished into the Electric Net. His disappearance was faster than Lin Yuan's salary at the beginning of the month.
Lin Yuan looked at the empty room and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Guys, the crisis has been temporarily averted. Thank you all for your support!" Lin Yuan said to the camera. "However, the Qi Gong Association will definitely not let this go easily; we must be prepared."
Fans in the Live Stream expressed their willingness to stand by Lin Yuan and fight against the Qi Gong Association together.
Lin Yuan felt empowered by the overwhelming support on his screen.
He knew that this battle had only just begun...
This Live Stream had thoroughly enraged the Qi Gong Association. They decided it was time to teach Lin Yuan a harsh lesson...
