Chapter 562
“I’m guessing she will make a call today to spare her . Our spammers have already lowered City-Toppling Beauty’s ratings to 3 . 8 out of 10 . Heh heh, 3 . 8! This is already a flop among flops . Furthermore, I have already discussed with a few cinemas . They do not wish to be part of our war, but if City-Toppling Beauty’s performance remains bad for three consecutive days, they will reduce the number of showings of City-Toppling Beauty even if they do not stop airing it . It might even end up being aired only at midnight! I believe Li Xueying has already learned her lesson with this . As for us, as long as we quash her with public opinion for three days, she will be over! With our wealth, she has no way of putting up any resistance . She thinks that good wine needs no bush? In this present day and age, even good wine needs bushes!” said the bald fatty, CEO Si .

CEO Li nodded and said, “That’s right . However, it would be quite a letdown if she were to surrender today . I still want to see Queen Snow Eagle maintain her pride . ”
“Pride? I hope she can still remain prideful,” said CEO Feng .
“This idiot actually doesn’t care about me at all!” Li Xueying grumbled subconsciously when she walked out of the temple hall and discovered that Fangzheng was not outside .
“If my master didn’t care about you, he would not have prayed for you an entire day . ” A voice sounded from above .
Li Xueying looked up and saw Red Boy sitting on the bodhi tree . He had a bamboo shoot in his hand as he placed it into his mouth . The way he chewed on it noisily made it look delicious .
Li Xueying’s heart pained for the Frost Bamboo again before she asked out of curiosity, “Did your master really pray for me an entire day?”
“Yes . He did not even eat . By the end of it, he was starving like a grandson . He even finished all the leftovers late at night . ”
“Amitabha . My dear disciple, what did you just say?” At that moment, Fangzheng walked over and smiled at Red Boy .
Red Boy’s heart palpitated as he quickly jumped off the tree . He ignored Li Xueying’s scream of worry that he would injure himself, and he said hurriedly, “Master, I was saying how brilliant and wise you were . You were freaking cool that day . ”

“Really?” Fangzheng pricked up his brows as he beamed . His smile made Red Boy’s heart and liver quiver . He hurriedly ran over to tug at Li Xueying . “If you do not believe me, ask Patron Li . ”
Li Xueying looked at Red Boy before looking at Fangzheng . Thinking back to the words ‘starving like a grandson’, she was immediately amused by the duo . She said with a laugh, “I can bear witness that Jingxin is not lying . ”
Red Boy gave Li Xueying a grateful look before looking at Fangzheng with a look that said: “Master, look at how obedient I am . ”
Fangzheng walked over and rapped him on the head . “I’ll let this matter pass . If there’s another time, I’ll be reciting some scriptures for you . ”
Red Boy trembled as he quickly took his leave . The best choice he had was to put distance between himself and danger before Fangzheng regretted being merciful .
“Your disciple really fears you, doesn’t he?” Li Xueying was at a loss for words . Upon hearing that Fangzheng had prayed for her an entire day, she felt upheavals through her heart . All her negative emotions dissipated as she began teasing Fangzheng .
Fangzheng sighed . “This child lacked a good education from a young age . He’s really naughty . If This Penniless Monk isn’t a little fiercer and mightier, he will run over our heads . ”
“Eh… You, fierce and mighty?” Li Xueying was amused . Fangzheng looked nothing like that . Instead, he looked rather moderate, neither fat nor thin .
Fangzheng said matter-of-factly, “Of course!”
“Heh heh, alright . You are fierce and mighty . ” Li Xueying just treated it as Fangzheng’s joke and brushed it aside .

“Are you feeling better?” asked Fangzheng .
“Yes, I’ve thought things through . Regardless of the outcome, I’m not a failure as a person at the very least . There are always a bunch of friends who show me concern when the time comes,” said Li Xueying proudly .
Fangzheng pricked up his brows . “Amitabha . Patron, you are quite a tsundere1 . ”
“Pfft! Why does every word you say sound like a joke?” Li Xueying said as she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . In any case, Fangzheng’s serious delivery of words like that was able to add joy out of nowhere .
Fangzheng said helplessly, “This Penniless Monk was just being honest . ”
“Alright, just treat it as though I’m a tsundere . ” When Li Xueying said this, she looked up at the bodhi tree . “I heard that this bodhi tree once froze to death before it was revived . Is that true?”
Fangzheng nodded .
Li Xueying asked, “Will I be worse than a tree?”
“It’s just a movie . Is it that important?”
“The investors pulled out midway . The subsequent funding was provided by me . If I win, I gain both fame and fortune . If I lose, I’ll be left with nothing,” said Li Xueying calmly . It was as though she had let everything go .

“Amitabha . ” Fangzheng did not say anything else .
“Venerable One, do you think I will win?”
Fangzheng was taken aback . To be honest, he had no idea if Li Xueying would win . Although he had spent his merit, the System was quite a scam at times, so…
At that moment, the System suddenly said, “The light from providence has been augmented . It will begin showing its effects at midnight today . ”
Fangzheng immediately heaved a sigh of relief before smiling at Li Xueying . “Goodness begets goodness . No matter how huge the storm is, it will eventually pass . Tomorrow, there will be clear skies!”
“What do you mean by that?” Li Xueying was dumbfounded .
Fangzheng only smiled without a word since:
“The secrets of heaven are not not to be leaked . You can give guidance, but you cannot reveal anything . If not, bear the consequences yourself,” said the System .
Fangzheng long knew this already . Therefore Fangzheng never went straight to the point . Either he said half-truths while concealing the rest or he lead people into dreams .
“You…” Li Xueying felt exasperated seeing a silent Fangzheng . Hence she just waved her hands and said, “Alright, if you want to keep silent, so be it . Thank you for your well wishes . I just made a wish with Bodhisattva . If I survive this storm, I’ll build you a Guan Yin Hall . ”
Li Xueying had already walked off while saying so, so unfortunately, she did not see a particular ignominious abbot reveal a happy smile .
Li Xueying received another call when she reached the foot of the mountain . It was from Li Jun .
“Sister Xueying, I heard you are in trouble . Do you need any help?” asked Li Jun with a laugh .
“So it’s you, CEO Li . We aren’t that familiar with each other, so please call me by my full name . As for the trouble you mentioned, I’m unaware of it . If there is any, it’s my business, so what has that got to do with you?”
Li Jun’s voice immediately turned cold . “Sister Xueying, don’t reject me so directly . A total of three days . Yesterday was the first . It was quite a tragic show . Today is the second day . It doesn’t seem like it’s turning for the better . Tell me, what happens if the day after tomorrow is still as terrible . Man… Someone might go bankrupt . Hehe . ”
“Again, that’s my business, so what has it got to do with you?” retorted Li Xueying .
“Of course it has something to do with me . If someone makes me unhappy, I’ll make them come to my doorstep to apologize . Also, I have a new film that is lacking a main lead,” said Li Jun .
Li Xueying continued her cold tone . “Your unhappiness and your filming is your business . What has that got to do with me?”
