Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist
Chapter 38 Fraud
As the holder of the third lucky number appeared, a slight commotion broke out in the crowd.
Amidst many envious gazes, this thin young man walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard with a hint of nervousness and excitement, and handed the flyer in his hand to Qingyin.
Qingyin took the flyer and examined it carefully. She soon discovered the problem: the font on the flyer was slightly different from the notes copied by the scholars.
A trace of doubt arose in her heart, but she did not express it immediately. Instead, she politely asked the young man to wait aside and decided to inform Hu Qing of the situation when he descended from the sky.
At this time, Hu Qing was busy controlling the hot air balloon, taking the first two lucky people to experience flying in the air.
As the hot air balloon rose into the air, Hu Qing noticed the nervousness of the woman and the elderly man on board.
The woman was trembling and the old man was shaking, obviously afraid of flying at high altitudes.
Seeing this, Hu Qing had no choice but to use his spiritual power to carefully form a protective area, gently wrapping them inside.
This spiritual sanctuary not only provides them with safety, but also alleviates their fears.
Under the protection of Hu Qing's spiritual power, the emotions of the old man and the woman gradually stabilized.
The old man's initial fear turned into emotion. He looked at the gradually shrinking Haitian City below, tears welled up in his eyes, and he excitedly shouted: "I have no regrets in this life!"
The woman couldn't help crying and was deeply moved by this rare scene.
Hu Qing understood their feelings and let them stay in the air for a while longer so that they could appreciate their home from this unique perspective.
However, considering their age and mood, Hu Qing decided to start the landing.
The hot air balloon slowly descended, and Hu Qing carefully controlled it to ensure a smooth and safe landing.
When the hot air balloon landed safely, the old man and the woman walked out of the basket with the help of Hu Qing, their faces full of gratitude and satisfaction.
Hu Qing walked out of the hot air balloon basket steadily, feeling a little surprised. He didn't expect that the lucky number would be drawn so smoothly and the third lucky winner would appear so soon.
However, Qingyin looked a little nervous. She quietly pulled Hu Qing aside and handed him the flyer marked with "1".
Hu Qing took the flyer and examined it carefully. His sharp eyes quickly noticed something unusual about it.
The ink was fuzzy and unclear, and the texture of the paper was unusually smooth, completely different from the rough paper used in the leaflets he distributed.
Hu Qing touched the paper lightly with his fingers, and the edge of the paper was slightly torn, which further confirmed his suspicion.
He knew that the scholars used waste paper from the private school, which was rough in texture, while the flyer in his hand was obviously recently purchased, smooth and delicate.
Hu Qing made up his mind and sent a signal to the guards.
The guards acted quickly, surrounding the young man and arresting him.
The people were busy checking their leaflets, but suddenly became quiet and looked at the scene in shock.
Hu Qing stepped forward and explained to the people present: "Everyone, this person is cheating, using fake lucky numbers to get a free ride. I must remind everyone that such behavior is dishonest and is not allowed."
His voice firm and clear, he continued, "Please abide by the rules and do not try to use this method to gain undeserved benefits. We hope that through this event, we will bring joy and surprise to everyone, rather than deception and disappointment."
After hearing this, the people expressed their understanding and appreciated Hu Qing's fair handling of the matter.
They began to recheck their flyers to ensure that the flyers in their hands were authentic and valid.
After dealing with this little incident, Hu Qing continued with the hot air balloon test flight.
He knew that such a small incident would not affect everyone's enthusiasm for the hot air balloon flight experience, but would instead make everyone respect the rules more and cherish this rare opportunity.
He also felt a little regretful. He should have done some anti-counterfeiting work earlier. He didn't expect that imitations would appear so soon. He had underestimated the IQ of this world.
As the third and fourth lucky numbers appeared, Hu Qing's mood also became excited.
He saw a simple-minded middle-aged man and a child of seven or eight years old. Both of them were sweating profusely and had obviously come in a hurry.
Hu Qing quickly took out a dry towel and handed it to the two lucky people, asking them to wipe off their sweat.
"You two have worked hard, wipe your sweat off your face." Hu Qing's voice was filled with concern.
The middle-aged man and the child gratefully took the towels and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Hu Qing checked the leaflets in their hands and after confirming that they were correct, he used his spiritual power to amplify his voice and announced to all the people present:
"The last two lucky people have appeared today. Thank you all for participating."
Hu Qing took the middle-aged man and the child on board the hot air balloon and began their aerial journey.
During the flight, Hu Qing learned that the two were neighbors. They had just come to join in the fun, but then found out they could participate in a lottery, so they hurried home to get the flyers. Unexpectedly, they actually won the prize, and both of them got this opportunity.
The hot air balloon slowly rose into the air. The middle-aged man looked at the Haitian City below, his heart filled with emotion.
The child was so excited that he jumped up and down in the hanging basket until Hu Qing gently stopped him and let him feel the cool breeze and tranquility in the air.
When the hot air balloon landed smoothly, Hu Qing used his spiritual power to amplify his voice and announced to the people:
"Today's event ends here. Friends who are interested in hot air balloon flights can come to the ancient mansion tomorrow to pay for the tour. The top ten will receive special rewards."
After listening to this, the people discussed it excitedly for a while, and then gradually dispersed.
Qingyin began to clean up the mess at the gate of the yard, while Hu Qing checked the remaining kerosene and made a decision in his heart.
"Qingyin, you've worked hard today. I'll take you upstairs to have a look."
Hu Qing took Qingyin's hand and walked into the basket together. Under his control, the hot air balloon slowly rose into the air and finally stopped in mid-air.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on the faces of the two, adding a bit of romance and tranquility to the evening.
Hu Qing turned to Qingyin and said, "Qingyin, thank you for your hard work and efforts today."
Qingyin was so moved that her eyes turned red. She didn't expect Hu Qing to thank her like this.
The two of them watched the sunset quietly in the sky until it got dark.
As night fell, Hu Qing and Qingyin enjoyed the tranquility and beauty.
They spent an unforgettable evening in the air until the stars began to twinkle, and then Hu Qing controlled the hot air balloon to slowly descend.
The two of them realized that they were starving. Qingyin started to prepare dinner, while Hu Qing began to clean up the mess in the yard.
