290. Saintess: I'll Give You an Idea

Lin·Purple Firmament, dressed in a patched Daoist robe, stood out as he walked along the mountain path.

It is common to see people wearing Daoist robes in Longhu Mountain. There are quite a few Daoists here, including men, women, young and old.

However, it is rare to see a Daoist robe that is patched and faded from washing.

Is it just a publicity stunt? Or is it really true?

Lin·Purple Firmament had no idea what the tourists were thinking.

However, the reason she attracted so much attention was not only because of her Daoist robe, but also because of her appearance!

Lin Fan was already quite handsome, but after mastering the Waterflow Body, his skin became fair and delicate, instantly raising his ugliness level several notches, enough to make Little Fresh Meat look bad.

Now, having broken through to the Golden Core stage, he possesses an extraordinary and exceptional aura, far surpassing that of ordinary people...

Walking in a crowd, it's hard not to attract attention!

Among these people, some recognized ' Lin·Purple Firmament '!

After she walked away, the two tourists huddled together, their legs trembling. "Quick, tell me you were mistaken, I freaking..."

"I hope I'm wrong!"

"... Is it really a ghost?"

"Holy crap!!!"

"I don't think it's a ghost. I looked closely, and it had a shadow and was wearing a Daoist robe... How could a ghost be wearing a Daoist robe and heading towards the Taoist Ancestral Home?"

"You're right!"

Ahead, a girl traveling alone came over and whispered, "If you ask me, he's definitely not a ghost. How could a ghost be this handsome?!"

"... Miss, being handsome and being a ghost are not necessarily related."

"What?! How could someone so handsome be a ghost?!"

The two. "..."

"I think he's more like an immortal? Like someone who has been in seclusion for many years and finally became an immortal, and has just come out of seclusion."

"Isn't that a bit too exaggerated? But compared to ghosts, he is indeed more 'ethereal'."

Two men and one woman, who were strangers to each other, gathered together and whispered among themselves after recognizing ' Lin·Purple Firmament '.

The three then followed from a distance.

They didn't know where they got their courage from; they just felt that seeing it with their own eyes wasn't so terrifying, or rather, Lin·Purple Firmament didn't have any ghostly 'features'.

During the journey, Lin·Purple Firmament suddenly remembered that her phone was not turned on.

Picking up my phone, I casually turned it on and found missed calls from Wu Guodong and an unknown number.

Without thinking much, I dialed back casually.

As for the three 'followers' behind him, Lin·Purple Firmament naturally noticed them, but did not stop them.

"Hey kid, you finally turned your phone on?"

On the other end of the phone, Wu Guodong was in a state of utter panic.

After contacting Zhang Jianjun beforehand, he went online to learn more about it, and what he learned gave him a huge headache.

"You're so popular now, a lot of people are saying you're a ghost. Even those so-called experts can't decipher or refute your claims for a while."

"Ghost?"

Lin·Purple Firmament was taken aback. "Why are you saying I'm a ghost?"

"Brother, what you did in Mount Wuyi, is that something a human could do?"

Wu Guodong was both amused and exasperated. "If they don't see you as a ghost, what do they see you as?"

"Why can't it be an immortal? Or a cultivator? Or Martial Arts Expert or something?"

Lin·Purple Firmament was genuinely surprised.

All right.

Although the 'smaller' version is quite strong, its appearance is certainly not bad either, right? Even in the Cultivation World, it would be considered above average!

How could someone possibly be considered a ghost?!

"Return the immortals..."

Wu Guodong was speechless. "I don't know how to answer your question, but if I didn't know you, I would have thought it was a ghost when I first saw this video!"

"This is too bizarre; it comes and goes without a trace!"

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. I'm saying you did it on purpose, right?"

"Yes!"

Lin·Purple Firmament did not deny it.

She did it on purpose, of course, not intentionally to cause trouble for Chen An, but after discovering that her online friend Xiao Wan was actually a burly man, she couldn't help but go to his door to cause trouble.

Then they discovered there were security cameras?!

With Lin·Purple Firmament's current strength, she could easily destroy the cameras without anyone noticing and without leaving any trace, but she didn't do that.

The purpose was simply to casually reveal one's extraordinary abilities.

This aroused people's attention and suspicion, making them aware that 'immortals exist in this world'.

But how did this come about, making it seem like he's a ghost?!

Lin·Purple Firmament just couldn't understand it...

"I knew you were doing this on purpose."

Wu Guodong's voice was even more distressed. "So what am I supposed to do now? The police in Mount Wuyi have already investigated you and are asking for my help and cooperation!"

what to do?

Lin·Purple Firmament pondered for a moment, "Should we handle this officially?"

"Given my situation, I shouldn't be arrested, right?"

With her Golden Core stage cultivation and the Spiritual Energy Pill for sustain, even if a whole regiment of special police were deployed, they definitely wouldn't be able to catch her.

But the question now is not whether we can catch them or not, but whether what we are doing is legal.

"..."

Wu Guodong was taken aback.

This question really stumped him!

What would happen if we handled this situation strictly according to official procedures?

Arrest them?

It doesn't seem that bad, after all, Lin·Purple Firmament didn't have any trouble with any methods.

What?

Chen An was injured? But as long as Lin·Purple Firmament doesn't admit to doing it, and the surveillance footage is too blurry to see clearly, how can she be convicted?

According to normal procedures, at most, they would ask questions, understand the situation, and then... at most, they would be detained for a short time before being released.

This is still the procedure for normal people.

But now, Lin·Purple Firmament is known as a 'ghost' on the internet!

Damn, the police have gone too far in their investigation, they've gone too far with the 'ghost'! How should they handle this if they're just doing their job?!

I need help urgently!

The key point is that even a veteran police officer Wu Guodong ten or twenty years of experience has absolutely no experience with this kind of thing!

For example, procedures and such...

Summoned? Arrested?

Come on, its current identity is 'ghost'.

"..."

Wu Guodong remained silent.

Lin·Purple Firmament pressed, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"I'm thinking about what I should do in your situation..."

Wu Guodong said he was mentally exhausted.

"How about I give you an idea?"

"You say!"

"For the next period of time, I will continue to reveal my extraordinary abilities, including but not limited to my strength and the changes I cause."

"You should prepare my background information, and then collect videos of me being exposed, etc., and report to your superiors at the appropriate time."

Lin·Purple Firmament has also done some research during this period.

In the modern world, how would one deal with the emergence of "Esper" or similar individuals?

There was no official response, but public speculation suggested that either he was arrested and disappeared, perhaps dissected or imprisoned in a lab for research, or he was put to serve the country, or he was simply killed...

I'm now a cultivator, stronger than those with Esper, but I guess these are the only ways I can handle this...

Kill him?

She had already decided that once she got the alchemy furnace, she would stay in the town.

She's not afraid as long as those wide-range weapons aren't used!

Arrest them?

Similarly, as long as I don't want to, they can't catch me! Even if they do catch me, I can break free at any time.

Serving the country?

It's impossible for them to be effective; at most, it's just cooperation!

Therefore, she had already planned that she would reveal her strength one after another to attract a lot of attention, and at a certain time, she would ask Wu Guodong to report the truth!

After this, those in higher positions will definitely have their own thoughts.

How they choose is their business!

Is it a friendly approach to oneself?

Or do they want to capture him for research?

Or perhaps it's for the sake of maintaining world stability, that they resort to killing?

It doesn't matter!

If it really comes down to killing, Lin·Purple Firmament doesn't recommend getting involved in any bloodshed or causing countless people to tremble in fear!

The Cultivation World is a dog-eat-dog world. Although she grew up in a peaceful holy land, she was always instilled with this kind of thinking.

If someone wanted to kill him, Lin·Purple Firmament would absolutely not hold back in the slightest.

"Report truthfully?"

Wu Guodong's tone was somewhat serious.

"Yes, you can report everything you know."

"So... who exactly are you???"

"Cultivators".

Holy crap!!!

Wu Guodong exclaimed in surprise, "Are there really cultivators in this world?"

"But that makes sense. Judging from your previous methods, they're definitely not something an ordinary fortune teller or Martial Arts Expert could compare to..."

"This is really going to be interesting. A cultivator has suddenly appeared in an ordinary scientific world..."

"By the way, why did you want to expose yourself?"

How many people like you are there left?

"Will it threaten... national security?"

Wu Guodong finally asked the question.

National security is ultimately not Wu Guodong's concern, but it is a matter that is closely related to everyone, so how could he not care?

"I'm the only one!"

"As for threatening national security, do you think I would expose myself so openly if I wanted to threaten national security?"

"With my strength, if I remain hidden in the shadows, no one can do anything to me."

"Of course, if someone were to attack me first, that would be a different story."

"... That's true."

Wu Guodong was silent for a moment, then said, "In that case, let's do it your way. However, you'd better not hurt anyone during your subsequent 'exposure' activities, otherwise it may arouse the hostility of some people."

"I will not attack unless attacked."

Lin·Purple Firmament responded.

"Good."

The call ended.

Lin·Purple Firmament continued climbing the mountain without stopping.

Wu Guodong, on the other hand, was already in a real bind.

"Investigate everything related to Lin Fan immediately."

Wu Guodong began by giving the order, "That is, our bureau's scientific advisor!"

"It's finally here..."

The police officers at the station showed no surprise whatsoever; on the contrary, they seemed to have expected it all along.

"In our bureau, this science advisor is the least scientific."

"I was almost scared to death when I carried the car out of the Yangtze River before..."

"But then again, he can't possibly be a ghost, right? I even chatted with him..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get things done!"

Wu Guodong reprimanded him with a dark face, then went to his office and began writing a report.
