Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

The next day, when Eric and the others woke up, they found Luoli and Sun Clouds waiting in the living room. Although they still looked charming, Eric and the others could tell that the master and disciple had definitely not slept all night.

Upon seeing Eric, Luoli and Sun Clouds were like maids of the house, offering warm towels to their master with humility and enthusiasm, and the joy that radiated from them made little Feng Qian, who had gone to bed early last night, somewhat puzzled and uncomfortable.

Luoli, who had intended to wipe Eric's face, stopped because Eric took the towel and instead said respectfully on the side, "Rinpoche, everything in the underground palace has been taken care of..."

Eric nodded without asking more. He believed that Luoli was capable of handling the affairs in the underground palace.

After Eric and the others finished washing up and were ready to go out, Luoli hesitated to speak, "Um... Rinpoche, I must tell you something very bad, which is that outside... outside..."

"Are there reporters?" Seeing Luoli's hesitant appearance, Eric already guessed what was going on.

During this period, due to the three major wonders of "the living Buddha who performs miracles," "the living Buddha who cannot be photographed," and "the living Buddha whose body appears like a living person," the attention of the whole world had been attracted. Countless media reporters wanted to interview Eric, the highest leader of Sakya, but were unsuccessful. If this were not Sakya's headquarters, the journalists would have resorted to more underhanded methods long ago. How could they still need to stay up all night and wait, hoping for an opportunity?

"Yes, when I came over, there were at least twenty or thirty Chinese and foreign reporters waiting outside."

So many? Don't these people need to sleep? It's very cold at night on the plateau. Judging from the current sky, those people must have stayed the whole night! For ordinary people to be able to do this, they had to be called "tough"!

Eric was naturally not afraid of facing reporters, but he always valued his personal privacy, so he was reluctant to be interviewed.

Tan Ailing, knowing his temperament well, immediately suggested, "Eric, let's leave from the back door..."

Eric smiled faintly and said, "Do you think there are no reporters at the back door?"

Tan Ailing was slightly stunned and shook her head.

Tang Feiyan rolled her eyes and also suggested, "Then let's go over the wall? I'm sure those reporters would never expect us to climb over..."

Eric shook his head and chuckled, "You really can think! Haha, what are we afraid of them doing? Let's just go out openly..."

"Then... should we have the red-clad guards clear the way in advance like we did before?" Luoli thought she had grasped Eric's thoughts.

"No need! Just give them some comfort..." To be honest, Eric admired these "night watch" journalists a bit, because their dedication and "persistent" attitude were somewhat similar to his.

Eric's willingness to speak out this time made Tang Feiyan very curious. "Eric, why aren't you afraid of exposing yourself to the public this time?"

Tan Ailing's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked thoughtfully, "Eric, are you planning to use the 'blurring technique' you used at the enthronement ceremony?"

"That's right! With the 'blurring technique,' I'm not afraid they'll capture my image!" Eric suddenly smiled somewhat evilly. "And besides, I only said I would 'comfort' them, not 'satisfy' them..."

In Tang Feiyan's sneer and Tan Ailing's eye roll, Sun Clouds suddenly said, "Rinpoche, actually your photos have already been circulating online..."

Eric raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?" He absolutely did not believe that his blurring technique could fail, so he could only suspect that there was a mistake on Sakya's side.

Seeing Eric's stern face, Sun Clouds spoke timidly, "These past few days, when I was online, I saw many portal websites posting that the newly enthroned Sakya living Buddha is the 'most handsome chairman in history' that caused such a stir before, and your photos were attached..."

After hearing Sun Clouds' explanation, Eric understood. Although the major media outlets from all over the world failed to record his image at the enthronement ceremony due to the blurring technique, human eyes were not limited. Through telescopes and wide-angle lenses, many tourists and journalists must have clearly seen his face, and among them, there were definitely quite a few netizens...

Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan had obviously figured out something and said with a slight worry, "Eric, you..."

To their surprise, Eric was not concerned about this at all. Instead, he smiled freely and said, "Sun Clouds, there should be a lot of doubts about the living Buddha's photos online, right?"

"Yes, Rinpoche!" Sun Clouds nodded. "About seventy percent of netizens have doubts. They say that it's impossible for the living Buddha to become a chairman of a corporation. At most, they just look alike..."

Eric nodded in satisfaction. He said, "As long as there is no direct evidence, there won't be a widespread 'announcement.' 'Rumors' can't last long! After a while, when people get tired of this topic, we will continue to live our peaceful days..."

Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan, both of whom had some knowledge of psychology, naturally understood the human tendency of "liking new and detesting old" and nodded in agreement, "Eric, then are you going to use the blurring technique when you go out later?"

"Of course! Not only me, but you two also need to disguise yourselves. After all, in the 'most handsome chairman in history' photo series, there are also images of you as the CEO and vice president..."

"What should we do? Should we use the blurring technique too?" Tang Feiyan looked eager to try.

"The blurring technique is a self-use magic and cannot be used on others!" Eric lightly discouraged Tang Feiyan. He said, "You should learn from Luoli and Sun Clouds and wear a veil when you go out!"

"Got it..."

"Quick, quick, quick. The first priority for reporters is speed." Xiao Qiang hadn't finished tidying up the room when Qingsi urged from outside the door.

"I'm trying to be as quick as possible." Don't tell me there's no time even for washing my face and brushing my teeth?

"Xiao Qiang, faster!" Wan Qingsi's roaring voice was relentless from behind the door.

"I'm coming." Xiao Qiang could only give up his usual morning hygiene routine and reluctantly picked up the camera and went out, chewing gum.

"Run!" Wan Qingsi, who was already in the car, shouted impatiently.

"Leader, this is a plateau area, and I'm carrying over thirty pounds of equipment. Do you really want me to run?"

"Aren't you a former special forces soldier? Why is your physical condition so poor?... No wonder you changed careers. I guess you didn't meet the physical standards..."

Xiao Qiang was speechless and had to change the subject, "Leader, why are we in such a hurry today?"

"Xiao Ming said the Sakya Living Buddha has left the monastery and is ready to be interviewed..." Wan Qingsi's expression tightened, urging repeatedly, "Come on, get in the car."

"Where are we going?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"The Sakya Monastery."

The car drove out of Sakya County, speeding all the way, and soon the Sakya Monastery was in sight. When the car was five hundred meters away from the Sakya Monastery, it stopped because motor vehicles were prohibited from passing further.

"Get out and run." Qingsi gave a decisive order.

"What? Run? It's quite far."

"What's the distance? It's just a small case. Climbing over a mountain of knives and plunging into a pan of oil are just minor issues." Seeing that the Leader had jumped out of the car cleanly, Xiao Qiang had no choice but to shoulder the camera equipment and follow suit.

"Wait for me." Xiao Qiang, running and surprised, wondered what was wrong with the Leader today. Not only was she in a hurry, but she also seemed to have endless energy. Ah, a few steps and he was already panting. Had his good physique from his years in the army in Beijing really deteriorated?

Ignoring Xiao Qiang's shouts, Wan Qingsi ran quickly to the outside of the Sakya Monastery and saw the handsome man surrounded by a crowd. For some reason, whether it was because she ran too fast or something else, Qingsi felt her heart beating extremely fast and her breathing unusually rapid.

"Leader, why are you still standing there? I'm ready. Hurry up and interview him!" Xiao Qiang, panting like a cow, ran to Wan Qingsi's side and opened the camera, saying, "Give me the microphone."

Qingsi unconsciously reached out and took the microphone with the logo of CCTV, somewhat distracted, and squeezed into the crowd.
