Chapter 1383: The Culprit

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Even if Feng Yuanlin sensed that something was very wrong with the other party forcing them to invite in the True Buddha or whatever, he couldn’t refuse. Under the other party’s gaze, he could only go in and let everyone know.

At the mention of inviting in the real Buddha, everyone forgot to ask Feng Yuanlin if the villagers outside were human. Their faces were very unsightly, especially that of Ruan Shenglin and his wife, who had already encountered harm once before because of this Buddha statue.

Yang Kun wanted to refuse on the spot, but Ruan Shenglin pressed him down and urged him to calm down. Only then did Yang Kun settle down a little, but his expression was very unsightly and flustered. If the village chief hadn’t been standing at the door, Yang Kun would have directly shouted, “Hell no!” He wanted to find Master Chi. Where had she gone?

Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan clearly remembered that Master Chi had said before that they absolutely couldn’t invite in this so-called True Buddha. However, the other party had forcefully come to the door, and obviously didn’t plan to let them get out of it. Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan looked livid.

Although Ruan Shenglin’s face was calm at that moment, it really couldn’t be considered good. He even specially whispered to Feng Yuanlin, “Brother Feng, Master Chi said before not to invite in the True Buddha Lord! We really can’t invite that thing in!”

!!

Even if Shuyan hadn’t said anything, the village chief’s forceful and unyielding attitude made Feng Yuanlin feel that inviting in the True Buddha Lord wasn’t anything good. However, the problem was that the village chief wasn’t letting Feng Yuanlin get out of it at all.

Moreover, they couldn’t refuse now.

Once they refused, the villagers and this village chief would probably become even more wary and suspicious. They still wanted to leave the village tonight, and if they kicked up a fuss and made the villagers wary, it probably wouldn’t be so easy to do so.

Feng Yuanlin pressed his temples and his head hurt terribly. They couldn’t invite in the True Buddha, but they also couldn’t say no. Feng Yuanlin immediately made the most favorable decision. “Let’s go to the temple first. Shuyan should be back soon. Let’s stall for as long as possible! In short, before we leave the village tonight or tomorrow, we can’t make the villagers suspicious!”

Feng Yuanlin’s decision was also in line with what Ruan Shenglin was thinking. Even if he wasn’t willing, he knew that this was the best solution for now. The others weren’t idiots. Knowing that things had come to this, they had no choice but to agree obediently.

When Feng Yuanlin conveyed his agreement to Village Chief Pan, a satisfied smile appeared on Pan Dalei’s face. His lip curled up slightly. No matter how amiable his expression was, Feng Yuanlin didn’t sense the slightest bit of kindness. He even felt that the village chief’s smile was a bit strange and gloating.

“Okay, then let’s go! I happen to have time to take you there,” Pan Dalei said with a smile.

In the end, everyone could only obediently follow Pan Dalei to the temple to invite in the True Buddha Lord. Ruan Shenglin was no longer his usual self and became very quiet. Yang Kun wanted to run away, but didn’t dare. His face was very unsightly, and he looked like he was about to cry. Xu Tong stuck to Ruan Shenglin in fear and remained silent. As for Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming, they didn’t know what to say, and obediently stayed by Director Feng’s side.

With Director Feng as their anchor, the two of them were still a little relieved.

Everyone hoped that their luck was good and that something would happen halfway to hold things up a little longer until Master Chi came back.

Who knew if it was because everyone’s thoughts were too fervent, but something really did happen halfway. Soon, a villager rushed over to the village chief and said a few words in his ear. Pan Dalei’s face quickly changed, and he looked flustered and furious. He was probably too angry, and even cursed in his dialect.

Xiao Shan, Ruan Shenglin and the others didn’t understand the village chief’s dialect, but seeing that something had really happened, they really hoped that things were looking up for them. It was just that they got too happy too soon. Before they could really feel happy, Pan Dalei suddenly switched the location to his house.

Their faces changed again.

Seeing the changes in their expressions, Pan Dalei’s mood seemed to improve a lot, and he said to them, “Something just happened at the temple. You can go to my house and invite in the True Buddha there – the only thing you need to do is be sincere!”

Feng Yuanlin could be considered the calmest person here. At that moment, he didn’t have time to listen to Pan Dalei in front of him, nor did he have time to pay attention to the others. Under the light from the torches, he could clearly see the bald spot on the back of Pan Dalei’s head.

Feng Yuanlin’s face tensed up and he calmly size up the other party. If he had only been a little suspicious because of the bald spot, after verifying what the other party’s figure looked like, he was now pretty sure who it was that had almost buried him alive.

It was no wonder that Pan Dalei had looked at him very strangely just now – the other party had never expected someone whom he assumed was dead to appear in front of him again, so he was naturally very astonished and puzzled.

The more Feng Yuanlin thought about it, the darker his eyes became. Shuyan was right. This village and this village chief were too strange. It would be best if they could leave the village as soon as possible.

Who would dare stay in this village?

Moreover, although he had been in a daze back then, he had taken in the other party’s deft movements – that definitely wasn’t the first time this person had done something like that.

At the thought that this Pan Dalei in front of him was the culprit who had almost buried him alive, and could still amiably talk to him with a smile, a bone-piercing chill welled up in Feng Yuanlin’s chest!

This kind of person, who could still pretend to be kind and smile on the surface but itched to kill you in their heart, was a psychopath!

“Director Feng, what are you thinking about? Village Chief Pan is talking to you!” Wu Haoming sensed that something was wrong with Director Feng’s expression. He had been staring at Village Chief Pan for too long, and Village Chief Pan was already looking at Director Feng curiously.

Feng Yuanlin seemed to sense that something was wrong with him at that moment, but he didn’t panic. His eyes fell on Pan Dalei in front of him, and he apologized calmly. “Village Chief Pan, I’m sorry. I understood some of your dialect just now, and it sounds like something happened at the temple. I was thinking about what it might be, so I didn’t notice you talking to me!”

As soon as Pan Dalei heard that the other party could understand his dialect and even mentioned the incident at the temple, his face changed drastically. He was no longer in the mood to fuss about the strange way the other party had been looking at him earlier. He said coldly, “Come with me!”
