Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing
Chapter 551 Xiao Bei Debunks Rumors: Calming New Waves
Xiao Bei had just finished processing a batch of urgently needed building materials and was rubbing his swollen temples, trying to catch his breath.
Suddenly, the buzzing sounds around began to become noisy like mosquitoes in summer.
"Have you heard? Alliance Leader Xiao's reconstruction plan this time is likely to drain all of our Immortal Realm's wealth!"
"Is this true? I just thought he was pretty powerful, is it just an illusion?"
"I heard that those resources were taken from our descendants!"
Various whispers spread quickly among the crowd like the wind, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of unease and suspicion.
Xiao Bei frowned. Why did this familiar routine happen again?
He looked around and saw that those monks who had been full of respect for him now had some hesitation and distrust in their eyes.
A bright red exclamation mark popped up on the system interface at the right moment: "Negative public opinion has been detected, and the host's prestige is decreasing!"
Xiao Bei's heart skipped a beat. This group of rumor makers were really lingering around, seizing every opportunity to stir up trouble.
The last rumor hasn't completely died down yet, and now there's a new one?
He couldn't help but feel a little headache. It was really like a pot popping out of the sky while you were sitting at home!
He looked at the bustling crowd, and those eyes that were originally full of hope were now covered with a layer of haze.
Xiao Bei could feel the suspicion in those eyes, like fine needles piercing his heart, making him feel a little depressed.
Those rumors were like a cancer, slowly eroding the trust he had worked so hard to build.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
This feeling is like when you are almost finishing a game, but are suddenly told that there is a game bug and you need to start over. The feeling of powerlessness and helplessness is simply too strong.
He wanted to refute and tell them the truth, but at this moment, he realized that a direct refutation would probably only backfire.
"Tsk..." Xiao Bei let out a light click of his tongue, then slowly raised his head, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, but deep in his eyes, there was a calmness that seemed to indicate a coming storm.
Xiao Bei looked at the whispering crowd and cursed in his heart, "Fuck you!" These rumormongers are like flies, they don't bite seamless eggs, but just rub salt into wounds!
But he remained calm on the surface, and instead a smile with a hint of evil charm appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He cleared his throat, his voice quiet but clearly heard by everyone: "Everyone, since everyone has doubts about my reconstruction plan, how about this: I invite everyone to review the details of the resource plan together?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became quiet. The originally buzzing discussions stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Bei.
They looked at each other, as if they didn't expect Xiao Bei to be so calm.
You know, usually when encountering such rumors, anyone who has something fishy will try every possible means to cover it up. How could they be like Xiao Bei, who would actively invite everyone to check the accounts?
"This... Alliance Leader Xiao, is it really okay?" A voice asked with some hesitation.
Xiao Bei shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. I, Xiao Beixing, sit upright, what is there to be afraid of? I am afraid that you will not come!"
His frankness actually caused some originally wavering monks to have a hint of hesitation in their eyes.
Bei Li, who was standing next to Xiao Bei, was like a loyal guard at this moment, looking at him firmly, as if saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Her smart eyes were full of trust and encouragement.
Afterwards, Xiao Bei made the detailed resource plan public.
When everyone saw the detailed plan and the clear flow of resources, they all suddenly understood.
It turns out that those so-called "emptying the family's assets" were just rumors.
"So that's how it is. I misunderstood Alliance Leader Xiao." A cultivator broke the silence first, with a look of shame on his face.
"Alliance Leader Xiao is truly amazing. Even his plans are so thorough. I admire him!" Another cultivator nodded repeatedly, his admiration for Xiao Bei being beyond words.
On the system interface, the prestige value was rising rapidly like a rocket.
Xiao Bei looked at the numbers on the screen that kept climbing, a smug smile on his face, and thought to himself, "You little brats, you're trying to play this on me? You're still a bit naive!"
Reconstruction supporters also breathed a sigh of relief and smiles appeared on their faces again.
They were worried that rumors would affect the reconstruction plan, but now it seems that everything is under Xiao Bei's control.
Their support for Xiao Bei has also become more resolute, and they have expressed their willingness to contribute their own efforts to the reconstruction.
Everything seemed to be settled, but Xiao Bei did not let his guard down.
He always felt that things would not end so easily.
At this moment, the resource merchant, who had been silent until then, suddenly let out a meaningful laugh. "Haha... Alliance Leader Xiao really has some good tricks. It's really eye-opening!" He paused for a moment, then continued, "But..."
He stopped abruptly before finishing his words, leaving an endless suspense, making people wonder what he was going to say.
"Haha, Alliance Leader Xiao is really good at tricks. It's really eye-opening!" The resource merchant's sarcastic voice was like a slippery poisonous snake, spitting out its tongue, winding through the crowd.
There was a calculating glint in his shrewd eyes, which made people feel a little chilly.
"But..." He deliberately dragged out his words, a playful smile playing on the corner of his mouth, like a mouse playing with a cat. After a pause, he continued, "Alliance Leader Xiao is so young and promising, and so popular. I guess... there must be a beautiful woman helping him behind the scenes, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a whisper broke out among the crowd.
Some people began to whisper to each other, with meaningful smiles on their faces.
After all, in this world of cultivating immortals, there are always various romantic scandals behind the strong.
Especially someone like Xiao Bei, who climbed to a high position at a young age, is more likely to be used as an excuse by people with ulterior motives to make a big fuss.
Then, a sarcastic voice rang out: "Oh, I was wondering why Alliance Leader Xiao was so powerful. It turns out he has a beautiful woman helping him behind the scenes! I wonder who this beautiful woman is, and how could she be so powerful?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone chimed in, "That's right! I think this Alliance Leader Xiao has long been bewitched by beauty. I'm afraid all his reconstruction plans are just to please her, right?"
These words were like sharp knives, stabbing Xiao Bei and Bei Li.
Those who had originally changed their opinion of him began to waver again.
Especially when they saw Bei Li standing next to Xiao Bei, there was a hint of complicated emotions in their eyes.
Beili was shy to begin with, and being stared at by so many people, her face suddenly turned red like a ripe apple. She tightly grasped the corner of Xiao Bei's clothes, as if seeking shelter.
Those rumors were like invisible shackles that trapped her tightly, making her feel powerless and wronged.
Feeling Beili's nervousness, Xiao Bei's eyes flashed with anger. These guys are really omnipresent!
First you questioned his ability, and now you start attacking his feelings. This is simply too much!
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He looked around, seeing those eyes that were mocking, questioning, or watching the show, and felt annoyed.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth
Suddenly, he reached out and held Beili's hand tightly.
His palms were warm and strong, giving Beili an inexplicable sense of security.
Beili raised her head and looked into Xiao Bei's eyes. Those clear eyes were full of determination and tenderness.
She felt Xiao Bei's strength, a warm feeling surged in her heart, and the blush on her face gradually dissipated.
Xiao Bei looked around and said in a clear and powerful voice, "Yes, I do have a beautiful woman behind me. She is not only my most capable assistant in the reconstruction plan, but also the most important person in my life!"
He paused, a gentle smile on his lips, and looked down at Beili, "Her name is Beili, and she is my beloved. Everything I do is not only for the future of the fairy world, but also for her eternal happiness!"
When Beili heard Xiao Bei's words, her originally nervous mood turned into an extremely sweet one.
She shyly snuggled up to Xiao Bei, her cheek against his arm, feeling his warmth, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
When the people around saw Xiao Bei and Bei Li being so affectionate, those who had originally been watching the show changed their attitudes.
They began to believe that the relationship between Xiao Bei and Bei Li was genuine, and not some hidden secret as the rumors said.
At this moment, the young craftsman who had been hiding in the crowd suddenly ran to Xiao Bei and whispered, "Alliance Leader Xiao, I seem to see..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cold laugh from the resource merchant, "Haha...it seems that Alliance Leader Xiao still has a lot of things to figure out..."
The young craftsman ran to Xiao Bei breathlessly and said in a low voice, "Alliance Leader Xiao, I think I saw... I saw those guys who spread rumors with... with the conservative forces!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bei's eyes glared, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth: "As expected, I knew there must be someone behind this!" He patted the young craftsman's shoulder, signaling him to calm down, then turned to face the crowd and raised his voice: "Everyone, I know that everyone is very concerned about the progress of the reconstruction plan, and I understand your doubts. However, I hope that everyone can open their eyes and not be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives!"
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the crowd before finally settling on the resource merchants. A hint of sarcasm lingered in his tone, "Some people pretend to be righteous on the surface, but behind the scenes they're actually doing dirty things! I'm making this clear today: anyone who dares to obstruct the reconstruction plan will be dealt with harshly!"
The resource merchant's face changed, and he said with forced calmness, "Master Xiao, what do you mean by this? I don't understand."
Xiao Bei sneered, pointing at several sneaky figures in the crowd and said, "These people are the culprits who spread rumors! And they are the minions of the conservative leader!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone turned their eyes to those figures. They immediately panicked and tried to escape, but were surrounded by the surrounding monks.
"Okay, so it turns out the conservative forces are behind this! They don't want us to rebuild the fairyland!"
"The conservative forces are truly despicable! They are making enemies of the entire Immortal Realm!"
"Support Alliance Leader Xiao! Punish these scum severely!"
The system prompt sounded: "Congratulations to the host! The prestige value has reached a new high!" Xiao Bei's mouth corners rose slightly, it seems that this wave of operations has been effective.
He waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Today, I will show everyone who is the real mastermind behind this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flew out from the crowd. It was the leader of the conservative forces.
His face turned ashen, and he glared at Xiao Bei, gritting his teeth and saying, "Xiao Bei, stop talking nonsense! When did I instruct anyone to spread rumors?"
"Haha, you're still stubborn even when you're about to die!" Xiao Bei sneered, pointing at the rumormongers who were caught, and said, "These people are all your men, right? How dare you say you have nothing to do with them?"
The conservative leader's face turned pale and blue. He didn't expect that Xiao Bei actually had so much evidence. He was speechless for a moment.
He glared at the resource businessman fiercely, as if blaming him for his poor performance.
Seeing this, Xiao Bei became more certain of his guess.
He sneered, "What? Nothing to say? I think you'd better admit your guilt!"
The leader of the conservative forces was furious when he saw that the matter was exposed. He was about to attack Xiao Bei, but suddenly he heard a sharp shout: "Stop!" Bei Li flashed in front of Xiao Bei, and a sharp sword emitting cold light appeared in his hand, pointing directly at the leader of the conservative forces.
"What...what do you want to do?" the leader of the conservative forces asked in a timid tone.
"Protect my man!" Bei Li said coldly, "I will fight anyone who dares to touch him!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The leader of the conservative forces was shaking with anger. "Just wait! I won't let you go!" After saying that, he turned around and fled, disappearing into the night.
Xiao Bei looked at the fleeing figure of the conservative leader and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that this was just the beginning and greater challenges were yet to come.
He turned his head and smiled gently at Beili: "Thank you, Li'er."
"Protecting you is what I should do." Bei Li smiled sweetly, her eyes full of tenderness.
Xiao Bei looked around at the monks who supported him, his heart filled with gratitude.
He knew that as long as they were there, no difficulty could stop him from rebuilding the fairyland.
"Okay, everyone, let's end today's farce here. Let's continue rebuilding!" Xiao Bei said loudly.
Everyone responded and the reconstruction work started in full swing again.
However, at this moment, the resource merchant quietly left the crowd. He walked to a secluded corner, took out a sound transmission talisman, and whispered, "The plan failed... Xiao Bei is more difficult to deal with than we imagined..."
