My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 640 - Scam Sect
640: Scam Sect
640: Scam Sect
“You’re helping a fraud—you’re just as bad as they are!”
The girl glared coldly at the man, her eyes devoid of fear but brimming with anger and a hint of excitement.
The girl, of course, was Gu Simu.
At this moment, she was furious.
She had already seen through the ruse—this was clearly a scam.
The monks, the old man, and the child might all appear to be ordinary people, but their actions were undeniably deceitful.
Witnessing such a sham unfold before her eyes, how could Gu Simu possibly stand idly by?
After all, she was once the heroic “Little Calabash Vajra”, accustomed to dealing with all kinds of villains.
Such petty tricks couldn’t fool her.
The “sick” child?
Just a dwarf in disguise, faking an illness with the help of makeup.
The monks’ so-called talisman water?
Completely useless.
They were nothing more than a bunch of frauds.
And to make matters worse, these “monks” were dressed in Buddhist robes yet used Daoist methods to “save” people—a blatant giveaway of their incompetence as scammers.
“Little girl, if you insist on making trouble, don’t blame me for being rude!”
The man’s expression darkened when he realized Gu Simu wasn’t backing down.
He was part of the scam—a designated enforcer meant to handle anyone who dared disrupt their act.
If someone caused trouble, he’d take care of them.
It didn’t matter if he succeeded or failed; his actions wouldn’t tarnish the so-called “Golden Light Divine Monk’s” reputation.
He stepped forward and aimed a kick at Gu Simu.
Bang!
To everyone’s shock, the man was sent flying backward.
“Hmph!
Scamming people and then trying to attack them?!”
“You’re all so terrible!
Today, I’m going to teach you a lesson!”
Gu Simu waved her little fists and, in a flash, darted forward, leaving afterimages in her wake.
Such was the power of a cultivator.
Even without deliberately honing her body, her physique far surpassed that of ordinary people.
“Ahhh!”
In the blink of an eye, the once-arrogant “Golden Light Divine Monk,” who had been parading around like a reincarnated Buddha, was lying on the ground, beaten and wailing.
The same fate befell the other monks.
They, too, were sprawled out, groaning in pain, completely incapable of resistance.
“Golden Light Divine Monk has been defeated?
How is that possible!”
Some in the crowd struggled to comprehend what was happening.
In the midst of it all, Gu Simu swiftly tackled the dwarf impersonating the child, yanking off the mask to reveal an old, cunning face.
“See?
This person isn’t a child; he’s a fraud!”
“They’re just acting to sell you talisman water and con you out of your money—don’t be fooled!”
She tossed the mask aside, her voice ringing clear.
Upon witnessing this, many in the crowd began to understand.
Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan quietly observed, exchanging proud glances at their daughter.
“Mumu has grown more discerning!” Mu Yuyan mused, feeling immense pride.
The current situation barely resembled a game, yet their daughter’s ability to distinguish right from wrong was commendable.
Since these individuals were just ordinary people, the impact wasn’t significant, allowing her to relax.
But suddenly, a chilling wind swept through the area.
“You little girl, how dare you ruin our Scam Sect’s plan!
No matter who you are, you will pay dearly today!”
From the wind emerged a middle-aged man, clad like a commoner, pointing accusingly at Gu Simu.
“You’re a pig!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the air around them twisted unnaturally.
Rule Power!
The man was a genuine practitioner, a Divine Realm cultivator.
Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan immediately locked onto the new arrival with their senses, but neither made a move.
With their strength, they had long sensed a Divine Realm practitioner lurking nearby, yet they hadn’t expected him to team up with a group of ordinary citizens.
The space warped, and Gu Simu’s mask was instantly reduced to dust.
Even her illusion was dispelled, revealing her stunning face.
“What beauty!”
“Is she a fairy?”
Everyone in the crowd gazed at Gu Simu, entranced.
This only intensified her anger.
“How dare you call me a pig and ruin my little vajra mask…”
Fuming, Gu Simu summoned a massive silver hammer, which grew larger in her grasp.
“You’re the pig!”
With a fierce shout, she swung the hammer down toward the Divine Realm practitioner.
“Divine weapon!”
“She actually possesses a divine weapon and dares to use it in Wanmin City!
Who is she?”
“Moreover, she isn’t influenced by the deceitful Rules; could it be due to her divine weapon?”
The practitioner was filled with questions, unable to confront the terrifying strike.
He soon realized Gu Simu’s cultivation was on par with his own.
Such a young and powerful individual, wielding a divine weapon in Wanmin City, was likely associated with Lanyan Royal School.
He realized he had messed with the wrong person.
“If I can’t win, I’ll just run!”
“This hammer won’t hit me!
I should be a thousand miles away by now!”
He shouted, narrowly evading Gu Simu’s crushing blow, and disappeared in an instant.
Gu Simu looked confused.
“Was that a spell that let him flee?
It’s nothing like what Daddy does…”
“Can this scam be so convincing?”
She pondered but couldn’t come to a conclusion.
She decided to chase him down for a good thrashing and to ask more questions later.
However, her use of the divine weapon had attracted the guards of Wanmin City.
Upon seeing Gu Simu’s appearance, the guards immediately adopted a respectful stance, bowing deeply.
“Greetings, Princess Yong Le!”
“Please, no need for formalities!”
“Help me catch a huge fraudster!
He can deceive even the forces of heaven and earth!”
Without further explanation, Gu Simu led the guards in pursuit.
The guards exchanged glances, bewildered, and before they could react, Gu Simu was already gone.
Meanwhile, Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan observed quietly.
From the moment the Divine Realm practitioner attacked to his escape, neither of them intervened.
Firstly, the opponent was too weak to require their intervention.
Secondly, they found the Scam Sect intriguing, believing it would provide their daughter with ample experience and opportunities for growth.
