The hotel owner used bluffs and lies as soon as he came forward, and he managed to win back a lot of sympathy votes.

Cheng Fan smiled faintly and was about to retort when the man with gold-rimmed glasses suddenly said first:

"Taoist Priest, I heard that you Taoist priests eat relatively light meals and occasionally go without grains. Are you used to eating light vegetarian meals and don't have additives?"

"You should know that food additives are approved by the state. As long as they are not used in excessive amounts or beyond the scope of use, they are legal. If you can find a food sold in stores today that does not use additives, I lose!"

"If you think that all food must be natural and have a prejudice against additives... then with all due respect, you should know more about scientific knowledge instead of chanting in front of the statues of gods all day long!"

Hearing the slightly offensive words of the man with gold-rimmed glasses, Cheng Fan just smiled lightly and did not argue with him.

The tourists cast sympathetic glances at the hotel owner one after another, and even the townspeople were a little undecided.

The guests queuing up outside the hotel and the passers-by who came to join in the fun also started talking about it.

The Taoist priest did not respond. Was this his acquiescence?

Is it really the Taoist priest who is biased against additives?

For a time, there was endless discussion about Cheng Fan.

When the little girl heard someone questioning Cheng Fan, her cheeks bulged with anger and she said dissatisfiedly:

"Everything my master said is true! Why don't you believe my master?"

"It's okay, Nannan is not angry."

Cheng Fan smiled lightly and touched the little baby's head.

"Master is just waiting for someone."

At this time, the restaurant owner saw that the direction of public opinion was turning towards him, and he suddenly felt confident.

Let you stinky Taoist priest mind your own business and see how I stink you!

The restaurant owner walked towards Cheng Fan and said with a sad face:

"Taoist Priest, I only run a small business and I really can't afford to pay so much for incense. Please don't embarrass me, okay?"

The hotel owner's words immediately caused a shock.

Some tourists who didn’t know Cheng Fan talked about it:

"What! If the restaurant owner doesn't pay for the incense, this Taoist priest will force him to not open the restaurant! How cruel!"

"The owner of this store opened recently and offered such a huge discount. How could it be possible that it was just a matter of additives? There must be a deeper secret hidden behind it!"

"I heard that temples in some places are not meant for human beings! The monks there are just like gangsters. Isn't this Taoist the same? I heard that the Dishui Temple is very efficacious, so I came here because of its reputation!"

"Effective? I will only think it's effective if he can pick himself clean this time!"

The four girls at the table in the distance looked at Cheng Fan with sad faces and sighed.

"This Taoist brother looks very handsome, why doesn't he do good things?"

"I don't believe it. The Taoist brother is so handsome, how can he be a bad person?"

"You're stupid! A bad person doesn't have the words 'I am a bad person' carved on his face. I don't know what kind of ugly heart is buried under his handsome appearance!"

"Oooh! I don't care! As long as my brother looks good, his three senses will follow his five senses!"

These words penetrated into Cheng Fan's ears, and he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

Does the three senses follow the five senses?

No need to!

Seeing that the situation was turning one-sided towards him, the restaurant owner simply decided to risk it all and knelt on the ground with a thud!

He begged with tears in his eyes: "Taoist Priest, please give me a little more time and be gentle with me!"

"Shut up! You are talking nonsense! You have never been to Dishui Temple. This is the first time I have eaten in your restaurant with my master. When and where did I ask for your incense money?"

Cheng Fan said nothing, but Xu Huan could no longer bear it, stood up and scolded.

The townspeople in the town couldn't stand it anymore. In their minds, Cheng Fan was like a god!

Maybe the Taoist priest doesn't know that additives are legal and can be used, but it is absolutely impossible for him to charge the store's money for incense! Such blasphemy cannot be tolerated!

Many people immediately stood up and retorted:

"Are you saying that the chief wants you to pay for incense? Why don't you go out and ask around? Dishui Temple has been here for so many years. When has it ever collected a penny from us people?"

"That's it! You don't even draft any lies! In Dishui Temple, you only need to burn a stick of incense, and the Taoist priest will help you answer your questions. You said that the Taoist priest doesn't know about additives. I think it's possible, but what kind of people do you think he accepts?

Money', 'protection money'? I'm the first one not to believe it!"

"Thanks to the Taoist priest's Wenchang Talisman, I got into a good university. My mother didn't spend a penny, so she asked me to listen to the Taoist priest no matter what. You must be telling lies!"

Even passers-by at the door of the hotel shouted:

"Yes! How could the Taoist priest charge you money for incense? It's impossible!"

"This guy has started talking nonsense. I think there is something wrong with him."

"You can doubt anyone, but you can't doubt our Taoist priest of Dishui Temple!"

Seeing how firmly the townspeople stood by Cheng Fan, the tourists suddenly hesitated.

The young Taoist priest in front of me is probably only in his early twenties, right?

How come it has such a terrifying prestige?

The hotel owner's heart skipped a beat. Only now did he realize that he had kicked an iron plate!

He originally wanted to portray Cheng Fan as someone who would force the restaurant to close down if he failed to collect protection money.

But who would have thought that there are Taoist temples that don’t charge incense fees?

I was caught off guard and was speechless for a while.

In desperation, the hotel owner looked for help at the man with gold-rimmed glasses who had stood up to speak for him.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

The man with gold-rimmed glasses pushed up his glasses and remained silent at the moment because he also noticed something was wrong.

What you say depends on the direction of the wind. Now that the wind is blowing, he won't stand aside easily.

Seeing that no one spoke for him, the restaurant owner became anxious.

"You all have to believe me! He never asks people for money for incense. That's because he makes a lot of money in a shop like mine!"

"You don't know that it costs a lot of money to take a look at the Feng Shui of a store. Otherwise, how could our business be so booming?"

The tourists felt that the hotel owner's sophistry was far-fetched.

Isn't it because your restaurant is so popular because it's delicious, cheap and cost-effective? What does it have to do with the location of your store?

Seeing the hotel owner's embarrassed look for help, Cheng Fan smiled and shook his head.

He said calmly: "You and I have never met, why do you say that I chose the store location for you? And you also used it to collect a large amount of money for incense. What evidence do you have?"

The hotel owner gritted his teeth and said harshly: "This kind of thing is said in private. How could you leave me evidence?"

"You mean evidence? Okay! First show me the evidence that my hotel uses additives illegally! If you can't show it, I'll sue you for defamation!"
