There are many people in this world who consider themselves clever but are actually idiots to the extreme.

The family heads in the Flower Pavilion were典型 examples.

Even after Jun Changxiao tore off the mask of one of the accomplices in the fraud, they still firmly believed the white-robed youth was Sect Leader Jun.

Actually.

They weren’t necessarily stupid.

They just had too much pride and status.

They found it hard to accept the fact they’d been deceived and preferred to believe everything was real!

However.

Reality was very cruel.

When a family head pointed at Jun Changxiao and complained to Princess Honglian, she walked over and cupped her hands. “Sect Leader Jun, this person is the fraud who impersonated you in the Royal City. I brought people here today precisely to bring him to justice.”

The Flower Pavilion fell silent.

The family heads, who had been kept in the dark all along—or rather, had insisted on staying in the dark themselves—were all dumbstruck.

This time, they clearly saw that Princess Honglian was conversing with this young man, not with the person they thought was Sect Leader Jun.

“Whoosh!”

Jun Changxiao raised his hand and grabbed through the air, directly pulling the white-robed youth over. He said coldly, “So you’re a habitual fraud!”

The captured youth’s legs trembled violently.

It turned out the person standing before him really was Jun Changxiao. How ridiculous that he’d been impersonating him right to his face!

“Sect… Sect Leader Jun…” The white-robed youth said with a trembling voice, “I… didn’t mean to offend…”

Rip—

Jun Changxiao waved his hand and tore off the human skin mask on his face.

This person had a somewhat sickly-looking face. Though not ugly, compared to our wise and mighty Sect Leader Jun, there was definitely a world of difference.

“Princess.”

Jun Changxiao grabbed the imposter by the collar and said indifferently, “The family heads of this city thought I was the imposter. Please provide proof.”

Actually, no further proof was needed, because they’d all come to their senses!

Though Princess Honglian had just arrived, from what that family head said, she already understood the general situation and cooperated. “This is the leader of the Iron Bones Sect, Jun Changxiao, who also holds the position of Honorary Instructor at Tianyu Academy.”

“Thud!”

The last line of defense collapsed. The family heads all slumped to the ground.

Treating the real as fake and the fake as real—they were truly too foolish!

“Sect Leader Jun!”

A family head said tremblingly, “Zhang is ignorant and has offended you greatly just now. Please don’t take it to heart!”

The others also hastily apologized and begged for forgiveness.

Jun Changxiao said, “If I were petty, your heads would have rolled by now.”

Everyone’s faces turned pale, cold sweat running down their backs.

Indeed.

If he really held a grudge, they’d definitely be dead now, and Princess Honglian absolutely wouldn’t offend the Iron Bones Sect Leader for their sake.

Everyone hastily apologized again, their waists bent almost to the ground.

“However.”

Jun Changxiao said indifferently, “I just released my Sword and Martial Dual King aura, which consumed quite a bit of spiritual energy. You know what to do.”

……

When three people walk together, there must be one who can teach me.

This fraud taught Jun Changxiao something, and now he immediately put it into practice.

The family heads were very cooperative, all producing stacks of banknotes to help him recover the spiritual energy just consumed.

Quite a lot.

A full three million taels.

Damn!

This really makes money!

Why bother managing a sect when he could just tour around raking in gold!

“Sect Leader Jun.”

Princess Honglian said apologetically, “This person used your name to swindle people within the Royal City’s jurisdiction. This is my negligence.”

Even the princess was so respectful to him—the fact they were still alive was truly fortunate!

“Sigh.”

Jun Changxiao let out a sigh. “I’m too famous now. As the saying goes, fame brings trouble. It’s inevitable that people will use my name to cheat and swindle.”

System: “……”

Princess Honglian said, “I will severely punish this fraud.”

With that, she raised her hand, ordering soldiers to take the white-robed youth from Sect Leader Jun.

The fraud’s face turned deathly pale.

The Royal City’s laws were very strict. Impersonating Sect Leader Jun would definitely result in severe punishment—he might spend his entire life in prison!

If only he’d known, why did he do it in the first place?

How many people don’t know that breaking the law comes with painful consequences, yet how many people don’t knowingly break the law anyway?

“Princess.”

Jun Changxiao said, “This person used my name with extremely malicious intent. I intend to personally administer severe punishment.”

“This……”

Princess Honglian paused briefly, then said, “Very well then.”

“No!”

The white-robed youth howled, “Princess, please take me back to the Royal City. I’m willing to accept any punishment!”

Being taken to the Royal City meant he could at least stay alive.

If he fell into the hands of this fierce man who had destroyed several evil sects, he’d definitely die miserably!

Princess Honglian paid no attention and ordered people to arrest all his accomplices.

The Family Head Ren who’d been knocked out earlier was also in disguise, not the real Family Head Ren.

What about the real one?

They’d ambushed and imprisoned him.

Princess Honglian would handle and clean up this matter; the author won’t elaborate further.

This fraud gang was truly professional, having two people impersonate family heads and cooperate in the act, staging a scene of paying to join the sect.

The other family heads definitely didn’t want to fall behind others, so they were deceived.

“Princess, I plead guilty, I accept punishment, please definitely……”

Jun Changxiao chopped the back of the white-robed youth’s neck with his hand. The person immediately fainted. “Since you know to be afraid now, why did you impersonate my name in the first place to swindle people?”

……

Outside Guilin City.

Princess Honglian personally escorted them to the city gate.

“Princess.”

Jun Changxiao said with some distress, “Is there any way to prevent this kind of thing—people impersonating my name to commit fraud—from happening?”

This was a case he encountered himself.

If there were other bold people impersonating him that he didn’t encounter, wouldn’t his reputation continue to be ruined?

Princess Honglian said, “I will issue a red decree within the Royal City’s jurisdiction that anyone impersonating Sect Leader Jun will be prosecuted as a serious crime.”

This was currently the only solution.

Some might say, why not widely distribute portraits of Sect Leader Jun?

Actually, that wouldn’t be very useful, because if someone really wanted to impersonate him, they could disguise themselves according to the portrait and continue to commit fraud.

Job recruitment for manual typing, earn 200-500 yuan daily, work from your phone, interested parties……

Scams like this happen every day. You might think you’re clever and won’t be deceived, but perhaps someone will fall for it.

Fighting crime cannot be delayed.

Similarly, the masses also need to raise their vigilance to prevent being deceived.

Jun Changxiao returned to the main topic. “Princess, are you really not going to join my Iron Bones Sect?”

Woman.

I’m giving you one more chance.

Princess Honglian smiled politely. “My father is still in seclusion. Joining your sect requires his consent after he comes out.”

“The princess is truly a filial daughter.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Jun will take his leave then.”

With that, he picked up the white-robed youth and left with Liu Wanshi.

Only after their figures gradually disappeared on the official road did Princess Honglian withdraw her bright eyes, murmuring somewhat helplessly, “I also very much want to join the Iron Bones Sect, but Tianyu Royal City also needs someone to manage it.”
