Chapter 167: There Is No God In This World
The leader pointed at the incense sticks on the table. "I heard the commoners pray to Fairy Bai every day and get food for free. We will try the same and see if it works."
Another man hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "But we are here to check if the incense sticks have been tampered with, not to eat."
The leader rolled his eyes at him and explained, "Didn’t I just say we will pray to ask for permission to get the food? That way, we can ask for permission to eat while checking the incense sticks at the same time."
Hearing this, the masked men realized his plan and said, "Sir, you are wise!"
Seeing that time is not early anymore, he urged, "Stop wasting time. Hurry up and do it!"
"Yes, Sir."
While the masked men lined up to light the incense sticks, Feng Xiyan and the others watched them with doubt in their eyes.
After a long silence, Feng Yi said, "Master, it seems they are just here to check the incense sticks."
Feng Xiyan frowned slightly as he observed the group of masked men thoughtfully.
At the same time, the leader had been holding the incense sticks over the candle flame for over a minute, but not even the tips had begun to burn.
Seeing this, he muttered, "Looks like what the Military Advisor said was right. They really tampered with the incense sticks to embarrass us."
Just as he said that, one of the masked men exclaimed, "Look! Mine lit up!"
