The commissioner originally thought that she wasn’t aiming for wealth and fame; she just wanted to stay within her own small world, so she wouldn’t go.
Moreover, she saw in the group chat that livestreamers from the Mystic Skills section had mostly received invitations, and it was impossible for all of them to go.
If she didn’t go, it wouldn’t be very noticeable.
Little did she know that at this critical moment, she got connected with "Xiao Xi Learning Mystic Skills," who had always wanted to expose her as a fraud.
This Xiao Xi was also a straightforward person. After a few words, she directly asked the question. The other party had a straightforward reputation online as well, and no one found it strange. In fact, such a person seemed more genuine.
The rhythm of the bullet comments had already been set. Xiao Xi was quite famous in the fraud-busting scene of mystic skills. As long as she suspected someone, those who knew her would automatically assume she was right.
If the commissioner didn’t agree, all her previous efforts would have been in vain because she was too famous. It would not only affect her reputation but might also impact the funeral parlor.
The main issue was that her online nickname was "Dan City Well Street No. 444 Feng Chen." She had traditionally dealt with such matters and wanted to try new methods. Naturally, as a young person, she wanted to make a name for herself on the internet.
Although she was a charlatan, she never harmed anyone or swindled money. She genuinely solved people’s problems and was serious when she studied psychology. After graduation, even the psychology professor advised her to pursue further studies.
She refused because her ambitions lay elsewhere.
Initially, she studied psychology just to be a better charlatan; she couldn’t lose sight of her original intent.
Returning to the joint stream, the commissioner felt stuck. If she didn’t agree, her reputation would immediately suffer, but if she did agree, she could still take a gamble. Thus, she declared in front of all the viewers and Xiao Xi that she would attend the Wen Family’s invitation.
She had prepared for the worst. If she was eliminated during the basic tests, she would just face the embarrassment and await her adoptive father’s criticism, and she would refrain from online activities henceforth.
She didn’t expect things to get worse. Fortunately, she passed the basic tests with her learnt skills. Unfortunately, she died in an accident shortly after moving into the castle.
She vaguely felt that it wasn’t an accident, but since she was dead, there was no way to investigate.
Unexpectedly, after her death, her soul didn’t immediately enter the Underworld or reincarnate; instead, it was trapped in the castle and couldn’t leave. Moreover, she felt that if she didn’t get out of the castle, her soul would be annihilated.
As soon as the thought fell, she realized her soul was burning, panicking her into fleeing.
Just when she thought she would completely vanish there, the ancestral jade pendant on her neck emitted a glimmer of light, granting her a sliver of hope. Naturally, this hope was for Ah Chen to come and solve this problem. Now, the commissioner’s soul was waiting at the Space-Time Company rest area.
Ah Chen looked up and saw Xiao Xi in the opposing livestream room.
At this moment, the argument in the livestream room ceased, as if they knew Ah Chen was about to answer, and they all quietly awaited her response.
Ah Chen’s voice was heard, "Of course, one should go to something like this; it sounds very interesting."
Wen Song, the head of the Wen Group, organized a livestream in search of his first love, Shi Yang. In the commissioner’s memory, there indeed appeared clues about Shi Yang, and it was even suspected that Shi Yang was among these invitees.
And it was the opposite streamer, Xiao Xi.
But the person above Xiao Xi wasn’t found among these invited experts. Wen Song himself felt Xiao Xi was very special, remarkably similar to his first love. He even said that from the first meeting, he had a strange feeling.
Afraid of being wrong, he didn’t dare to act rashly and wanted to know the judgment of the masters.
A few days passed, and seeing that the masters had no results and the livestream time was ending, he couldn’t help but express his idea, hoping the masters would help confirm it.
Yet, before the commissioner could get involved in this matter, she unexpectedly died.
Regarding her death, she never understood who was behind it. She believed she hadn’t done anything bad. Her suspicions lay in two areas: one was people among the other masters, and the other was people in the Wen’s Castle itself, as the castle had things that could destroy souls, which was very suspicious.
But whether it was the former or the latter, she couldn’t understand how she offended them, why they had to kill her.
In the opposite livestream room, Xiao Xi was not at all surprised by Feng Chen’s answer.
In her view, these fake masters never shed tears until they see the coffin.
Now, if she didn’t go, her reputation would be gone. It was better to take a gamble. If she really passed the basic test, she could leverage it for publicity.
Xiao Xi disliked these impostors pretending to be mystic masters online. Since starting the livestream, she’s exposed quite a few, but Feng Chen in front of her was the most challenging. The other party had indeed mastered the art of swaying people.
God knows what kind of charms she fed those fans that made them so supportive of Feng Chen.
Whether she had real skills or not, as long as she accepted the Wen’s invitation, Xiao Xi could definitely find a flaw in her. The key was in that first wave of testing, Xiao Xi thought secretly, and when the hype was even bigger, exposing the fraud in front of so many people would be even better.
Her influence was so vast, with so many people knowing Feng Chen, it would be impossible for her to swindle people offline.
Ah Chen sensed Xiao Xi’s thoughts from the opposite side, found it amusing, and didn’t say much. She must go to Wen’s Castle and find out the cause of the commissioner’s death.
She glanced at the livestream viewers, especially her fans, and as soon as she agreed, they immediately straightened their backs.
Though the commissioner was a charlatan, she still had some skills.
The reason for being a hereditary charlatan was that her ancestors indeed had someone who was a genuine mystic master, leaving behind many ancient books. It was just that some generation later lost the talent and became charlatans who knew only the theory, making a living was really not a problem.
But they also had principles: just making a living, not resorting to deceiving or harming others. Later, some generation started a funeral parlor business, and it became a family business, freeing them from the need to tell fortunes or read faces to get by.
It’s just that in this line of work, if they have a little bit of persuasion skill, the business is surely better. After all, if you have to buy something, why not buy it from your own family? There’s nothing wrong.
Perhaps because Ah Chen answered that she would accept the Wen’s invitation, the fans in the livestream room became enthusiastic, sending her many gifts. Naturally, Ah Chen’s side won this PK, just like originally.
There are penalties for losing a PK.
Xiao Xi, who lost the PK, didn’t show any displeasure and looked at Ah Chen, "I lost, you can make a request, as long as it’s reasonable."
"I heard Master Xiao Xi is quite skilled in divination, so help me divine whether this trip to attend Wen’s livestream will go smoothly," Ah Chen said.
Divination was indeed Xiao Xi’s specialty, but she couldn’t predict specifics; she could only predict good or bad fortunes. As for how to avoid them, she candidly admitted that she wasn’t good at it and needed to rely on herself or find a master skilled in such matters. With her ability, doing this was indeed considered excellent.
