[Why did Xiao Xi take so long doing the divination earlier? Was the beauty filter not fully turned off?]
[Are those saying the filter was still on blind?] This was from Ah Chen’s fan who came over to see what was going on, immediately getting frustrated.
[When they were pressuring Boss Feng aggressively, they weren’t like this at all. Now there’s a hint of a problem on Xiao Xi’s side, and they suddenly want to save face. It’s kind of disgusting.]
"I see, then I’m relieved." Ah Chen looked at Xiao Xi with a smile, not saying much more.
It seems that the one million fans are putting some pressure on Xiao Xi, that she’s even lying about such things. That’s not good.
If something goes wrong, the netizens will quickly dig out old videos.
But what does that have to do with her? It’s not like she’s the one forcing Xiao Xi to lie.
After ending the call, Ah Chen almost wrapped up, said her goodbyes to the audience, and ended her livestream to continue completing orders at home.
The Wen Family’s livestream was scheduled to start half a month later, and this half month would be enough time for her to complete the orders she had.
The Wen Family livestream event required a month, during which she couldn’t take on any orders.
Ah Chen took out her phone and posted on her moments that she had things to do and wouldn’t be taking new orders for the time being. She wrote clearly when the shop would close and reopen. She also handwrote a note to put in front of the store in case there were people who weren’t friends and couldn’t see her updates.
That evening, someone dropped by to buy incense and spirit money, saying they were afraid she might leave and they wouldn’t be able to find a better place. Especially those paper people, cars, and houses, hers were the most exquisite.
On Xiao Xi’s side, she didn’t end her broadcast immediately, nor did she continue connecting with other streamers but started taking calls from the audience, helping them predict fortunes.
If she ended the broadcast directly, she’d feel embarrassed.
The fortune-telling went smoothly, and it made her breathe a sigh of relief, leaving no embarrassment by the time she ended her broadcast.
Still, she was somewhat bothered by the fact that she couldn’t foretell anything during her connection with Feng Chen earlier.
Xiao Xi’s real name was Lin Xixi, currently a third-year student at Dan City University.
After ending her stream, she dialed a number. When the call connected, she started, "Senior, something strange happened during my broadcast today, it was like this..."
"So is there a situation where you can’t predict anything?"
The senior was close to her, so she naturally could share these matters with him.
Fu Yingshu, listening, said, "Either something is obscuring it, or the other party’s level is higher than yours, thus trying to read a senior offends them. Though if it were the latter, you’d likely experience backlash. If someone’s temper wasn’t good, they might proactively attack you. Do you feel any discomfort?"
"No," Lin Xixi replied. She also knew that you couldn’t freely predict things among peers. If someone was inferior, it was okay, but if someone was more powerful, it wouldn’t be easy to do.
In her online debunking efforts, she only targeted those who were evidently fake influencers.
Although Feng Chen claimed to know some mystical skills, it was superficial knowledge from some shallow books, which were commonly available online. Theoretical knowledge was easy for general people to learn.
But they lived in different worlds; merely knowing theoretical knowledge wasn’t enough to step into this field.
Only by witnessing the wonder and profundity within the practices would one become aware of the depth involved. It wasn’t enough to know a bit of theory and bluff one’s way into being called a master.
"Shouldn’t there be something obscuring her?" Lin Xixi asked, feeling somewhat relieved upon considering this possibility.
"Do you have any photos or videos? Let me have a look," Fu Yingshu said, being quite protective of his sole junior sister.
Lin Xixi had previously taken a screenshot and sent it over.
Soon, Fu Yingshu’s voice returned, "Indeed, nothing noticeable, there should be some obstruction. That Jade Token around her neck looks special; while the image doesn’t conclusively determine what it is, it evidently is an Ancient Jade. Perhaps it’s because of this."
Hearing this, Lin Xixi scrutinized the photo, seeing a seemingly inconspicuous Jade Token.
She further checked Feng Chen’s previous videos, and indeed, she hadn’t worn that Jade Token, which enlightened her.
"Perhaps, it’s not in her earlier videos."
What Lin Xixi didn’t know was that the commissioner, after graduating and inheriting the family business, received this Jade Token from her adoptive father. Though she had been streaming before, not having graduated and not having inherited the family business meant she didn’t possess the Jade Token. Of course, their inability to foresee Ah Chen’s future wasn’t due to the Jade Token but rather was Ah Chen herself.
"Can old photos still be checked?" Lin Xixi asked, knowing her senior brother had great expertise in physiognomy.
"Give it a try. This thing seems formidable. With the obstruction, viewing past photos or videos might also be unhelpful, seeing no future, only past."
After looking, Fu Yingshu stated, "As I suspected, her future is obscured, and now one can only view the past, not the future."
"How could she have such an item?" Lin Xixi was shocked, "Could it be that her family actually possesses such skills?"
"Perhaps," Fu Yingshu said, "Given this, don’t keep targeting her. Quarreling within the same trade can be troublesome, and with your current capability, without Dad or me by your side, you’re vulnerable."
"Okay, I understand." Lin Xixi knew that if she carelessly provoked someone inferior within the same trade, not knowing what strength the elders possessed when they come for trouble, she wouldn’t handle it. It’d just complicate things for her master and senior, "By the way, Senior, I plan to accept an invitation to attend a mystical skills live stream at Wen’s Castle, approximately half a month from now. Are you up for it? I heard, just by passing the basic test, you can earn a 500,000 hardship fee."
"Of course, to Senior, earning 500,000 is straightforward. I’ve recently been touched by Wen Song and his first love story. If I could aid in finding his fiancée’s reincarnation, wouldn’t it be a delightful thing? The ultimate reward includes a billion and a favor from Wen Song. It could buy lots of materials and have Wen Song help in finding what I need. I feel it’s worth the trip."
Priests of the master’s caliber possibly wouldn’t want to partake in such events since they have to show their faces live.
However, Senior wasn’t an old relic and even graduated from a university like her, Dan City University, yet he graduated several years ago with outstanding achievements. He represented the school in competitions, which required showing one’s face.
"Junior Sister, do you truly want me to obtain those rewards? You should know finding a reincarnated person is very difficult, right?" Fu Yingshu’s tone was serious, yet his eyes showed a smile. Indeed, finding a reincarnated person was challenging, and at least he wasn’t confident, "With Wen Song’s position, inviting a master at our father’s level is feasible, yet he hasn’t. Can you guess why?"
Lin Xixi sighed, "I just feel going alone to an unfamiliar place is a bit unsettling, so I’d like Senior to accompany and bolster my courage."
She knew her senior brother’s meaning; seeking someone so ostentatiously might indicate Wen Song had requested top masters but found them futile, now opting to cast a wide net to try their luck.
Eventually, Fu Yingshu still agreed.
The following day, Ah Chen received a call from her adoptive father, Feng Luochun, asking about her upcoming plans, probably seeing her latest updates on moments.
Ah Chen explained the situation. Feng Luochun said, "Since all are committed, just go. If things don’t go well, simply withdraw from online activities. It wouldn’t actually affect reality much. Having a bit of commentary for a couple of days will quickly pass, and we’re not doing anything wrong, nothing to fear."
Ah Chen agreed with a smile, this adoptive father really had an open mind.
