The Celestial Master Is Still Pretending to Be an Ordinary Passerby

[My next novel, "Can a Panda Become a Superstar? [Showbiz]", is a sweet little palate cleanser and is now underway. If you're interested, please add it to your collection. The blurb is at the end~] Lu Qingsen is an excellent street-stall fortune-teller, offering a full range of services: fortune-telling, face reading, and talismans. His reasonable prices and lack of follow-up charges have made him popular with customers of every age, from young to old. There's just one thing: as an orthodox Celestial Master, the abbot's junior brother, and the thirty-first-generation disciple of Qingfeng Temple on Zihui Mountain, he's constantly met with people who refuse to believe he's a professional. Maybe it's because he looks so young and handsome, Lu Qingsen tells himself. A certain finance magazine cover star, the excellent CEO Mr. Liang, sums up his thoughts this way: "Correct." In fact... Victim No. 1, the CEO's younger brother: "He said he was my upperclassman and told me to believe in science, so I did. Who knew he'd just take off into the air?" Victim No. 2, the all-purpose secretary: "He said he was the CEO's canary. He was so pretty, I believed him. Who knew he'd whip out a sword?" Victim No. 3, an outstanding employee of a special department: "He said he was an innocent passerby who'd wandered onto the scene. He didn't look like he could fight, so I believed him. Who knew he was the real master?" In response to the victims, Lu Qingsen humbly replies, "I didn't fly. It was a wooden sword. My master is the real master." A special department file records: "Celestial Master Lu, disciple of Qingfeng Temple, has participated in multiple top-level department cases and resolved them successfully. He usually works at a street stall on the local overpass. Wears round black glasses and a long robe. Remember: never judge by appearances!!!" The serious version: Lu Qingsen, a thirty-first-generation disciple of Qingfeng Temple, spent his time cultivating on the mountain with his master until he turned twenty, when he was sent down the mountain to gain experience. Starting with his encounter with CEO Liang Mingyu, he watches as Liang calms disturbances and steadies the land. More than fame, his greatest rewards are the family bonds he lost and regained, and the love that came unexpectedly. The first time Liang Mingyu saw Lu Qingsen, he was a young man standing beside a mountain road, ethereal and otherworldly, unforgettable at first sight. The second time Liang Mingyu saw Lu Qingsen, he was at a street stall on an overpass. The young man in strange round glasses was conning a young couple. At the time, Liang Mingyu had no idea that he and this little con artist would go through so much together, and that he would end up tricking the other man into his arms. [Reading Guide] 1. Easygoing, mischievous Celestial Master bottom x sharp and scheming CEO top. 2. A metaphysical fantasy about leveling up and fighting monsters, with a laid-back daily-life feel. Not scary. The blurb focuses on the early part of the story. 3. All metaphysical elements in this novel are fictional and far removed from reality. Science comes first, everyone! Here's the blurb for my next novel Can a Panda Become a Superstar? [Showbiz] → Blurb: Pan Guoguo is a panda who has gained human form. After finishing his time as a zoo employee, he became family with his adoptive parents and, at the management association's request, is now supposed to assimilate into society as soon as possible. But what kind of job suits Guoguo, who used to be a panda whose only concerns were eating, drinking, and having fun? "Guoguo can work at Mom and Dad's company. They'll keep supporting him," said his adoptive mother, Ms. Lin. Mr. Pan nodded in agreement beside her. "Guoguo should go to school. He'll fit into society quickly that way," his new older brother suggested. But Pan Guoguo considers himself an adult bear already. Even if Ms. Lin and Mr. Pan make him younger on paper, in human society he's old enough to earn money and support a family. One day, Pan Guoguo heads out on his own with a backpack, pondering what he should do, when he meets a man in sunglasses. "Become a star?" "That's right, become a star. You'll have lots of fans who love you, and they'll be happy just because you smile." Wow, isn't that just like working at the zoo? He only has to smile and wave at the humans who come to see him, and they'll be happy. Guoguo will be happy too. That job is perfect for him. So Pan Guoguo solemnly announces that he's going to become a superstar. The road to stardom isn't easy. His teammate is always pinching his cheeks, and after discovering his panda form, keeps hugging him and rubbing him nonstop. But Guoguo forgives him because he's so nice to Guoguo. Besides, Guoguo likes him a lot too. One anonymous teammate, Han Feng, says: You don't understand what it's like to have a panda of your very own.
