Chapter 682 - 680: The Family’s Charlatan (Part 5)

Finally, the day of the Mystical Skill livestream organized by Wen Group arrived. Many famous online streamers planned to start broadcasting from their doorsteps as they headed to Wen’s Castle.

At the request of her fans, Ah Chen started the livestream with her phone as she stepped out after packing her luggage.

Actually, livestreaming with a phone isn’t very convenient, especially when you’re on the move.

If not for the tight schedule of only half a month to prepare, she would have considered getting a floating livestream ball. Although 997 could handle it, this was a livestream, and being spotted might raise questions that are hard to explain.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t hire anyone to help. Not just anyone could go to Wen’s Castle, only those with an invitation.

While she couldn’t hire people, she figured ghost servants might be an option.

But in the half month she’s been in this world, Ah Chen hasn’t actually encountered any ghosts.

Based on her observations of this small world so far, it seems difficult for souls of the deceased to linger.

Even those who die unjustly find it hard to stay.

Whether they went to the Underworld or reincarnated, she doesn’t know, as she hasn’t looked deeply into it.

But since this world has Mystic Masters and supernatural beings, there surely are some who can remain in the human realm, likely under certain conditions.

She glanced at her phone as viewers quickly flooded in.

They all mentioned how it’s Saturday, and they originally planned to sleep in. But remembering her plan to livestream her trip to Wen’s Castle, many couldn’t help but get up and watch from bed, without any intention of getting up.

"Good morning," Ah Chen greeted them, "We’re about to set off, it might be a bit boring."

[Not boring at all. It’s only a few hours, and just thinking about seeing Wen’s Castle makes it exciting.]

[Will you continue the livestream when you get there?]

Ah Chen replied frankly, "Probably not."

[That’s okay, Wen Group’s equipment will surely be more comprehensive and clearer, capturing every detail of the people inside! However, Boss Feng, please still pay attention to the stream and interact with us occasionally!]

Seeing the comments joking around, Ah Chen chuckled, "Alright."

The car she called arrived, and she placed her luggage in the trunk and got in: "Currently on the way to the airport."

[Boss Feng, I heard the plane tickets Wen Group sent you are different. Can we see them?]

Seeing this comment, Ah Chen immediately pulled out the plane tickets Wen Group had sent from her bag.

She had checked earlier; they were indeed different from standard tickets. With Wen’s capabilities, collaborating with the airline to create special tickets wasn’t surprising.

She took out a ticket featuring a castle design and held it up to the phone camera: "Can you see it clearly?"

[Wow, Boss Feng, I see a part of the castle on it can move. It looks like gold; can you touch it and see if it’s really gold?]

Ah Chen didn’t touch it but confidently said, "It is indeed gold, probably about 2 grams."

[As expected of Wen Group.]

[I heard over a hundred people were invited this time, meaning there are hundreds of grams of gold just on the tickets.]

[2 grams is nearly two thousand bucks, and with such exquisite craftsmanship, it could easily sell for over three thousand outside.]

Ah Chen didn’t say more, acknowledging Wen Group’s wealth and extravagance.

Not just the invitation, but even the collaboration ticket with the airline included gold. There’s 2 grams of gold on the invitation too, seemingly for good luck, representing pairs.

The outside world has many rumors about the controller of Wen Group, reportedly obsessed with the number 2, as it symbolizes pairs.

And after everyone arrived at the castle, those who passed the basic test were also paired off into suites.

Many knew about Wen Song’s preferences, and there was no complaint about the free accommodation. After all, it was a suite, not a tiny room. The suites were spacious, with two rooms and a bathroom, fully equipped with necessities.

Wen Group has always operated with a high profile, and while they’ve encountered trouble, it hasn’t disrupted them at all.

Instead, each incident seemed to elevate Wen Group, earning praise across the internet.

Each company under Wen Group is known for its excellent benefits, attracting countless people eager to join in.

Meanwhile, things were lively on Lin Xixi’s side too.

She started the livestream as soon as she stepped out the door, and upon reaching the neighborhood gate, a handsome guy approached, causing a stir among her viewers who asked who he was.

Lin Xixi: "This is my senior brother."

After telling the audience, she quickly walked up to Fu Yingshu and playfully asked the viewers, "Handsome, right?"

[I think he looks familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere before.]

[This flirting tactic is outdated.]

[It’s not flirting; he really looks familiar.]

After Fu Yingshu greeted the camera, someone finally recognized him. Back in his days at Dan City University, Fu Yingshu was quite the character, especially with his speeches, which captivated many online.

[So Senior Brother Fu is a Mystic Master too?]

Lin Xixi replied, "Yes, my senior brother comes from a family of Mystic Masters."

Fu Yingshu isn’t much of a talker; unless necessary, he prefers to stay quiet. The whole way to the airport, Lin Xixi mostly chatted with the fans.

[I just checked Feng Chen’s stream too; she’s also on her way. I think you might run into each other.]

Lin Xixi was surprised. What a coincidence, right?

Ever since her senior brother mentioned that the Jade Token on Feng Chen’s neck was Ancient Jade, possibly concealing everything about her, Lin Xixi abandoned her plan to expose Feng Chen.

Feng Chen might not be capable, but whoever possesses such a Jade Token is definitely not simple. Surely someone powerful backs her family, so it’s best not to offend them.

Of course, if Feng Chen deceived people, Lin Xixi would still intervene.

Not confronting Feng Chen was one thing, but people buying the fake Calming Talismans from Feng Chen’s Little Yellow Cart was another matter entirely.

Since they might meet this time, she planned to find a chance to talk to her and suggest not selling those fake Calming Talismans. Engaging with someone serious about this could bring trouble to her family elders, right?

The airport in Dan City was quite far, taking about an hour from home. Ah Chen pointed her phone camera outside, letting viewers choose if they wanted to watch or not.

With another phone, she observed that the viewers remained enthusiastic, hopping between different livestreams.

Just then, a cold breeze blew in.

It grew colder next to Ah Chen, and she looked up to see a young man sitting next to her, raising an eyebrow, "What’s this about? Hitching a ride?"

The young man, initially relaxed and enjoying the car seat, noticed Ah Chen’s gaze and stiffened, staring back at her.

Hua Wen had no other motive than noticing something in the car that soothed his Soul Body, so he came in for a taste. Not sensing any threat, he figured he’d stay longer for more of it if it didn’t bother anyone.

But as soon as he settled, the object’s owner seemed to have noticed him?

Seeing that she wasn’t looking away, Hua Wen confirmed she could indeed see him.

Could she be a Mystic Master?
