Chapter 694 - 692: The Family’s Charlatan (Part 17)

"I see a lot of people are planning to cooperate. If it were that easy to find, with the Wen Family’s capabilities, they would have located it long ago."

"I think the Wen Family is casting a wide net this time, hoping for some luck."

"I have no confidence at all. I can only use tarot cards for divination; how accurate it is depends on luck," Luo Yun said.

"Even fifty thousand is worth it."

Deborah glanced at her, then at Ah Chen, as if to say, you two should get along well together.

"Finding the reincarnation of someone who died eleven years ago is very difficult. As far as I know, there are hardly any masters who can guarantee to find someone precisely," Ge Yu chimed in, "Cooperation is indeed a good approach."

He actually wasn’t insisting on this matter. He came this time mainly because Fu Yingshu was here.

"The Wen Family should provide the date of birth and eight characters, as well as items Miss Shi used during her lifetime," Ah Chen added, "Moreover, with Mr. Wen making such a big fuss this time, there must be additional information involved."

The group exchanged glances, all agreeing that this made perfect sense. So they decided to wait and see what useful information Wen Song would provide them later.

Ah Chen noticed that when Deborah heard her mention the birthdate and eight characters, a trace of mockery flashed in Deborah’s eyes.

Lightly holding her teacup, she wondered if there was something wrong with Shi Yang’s eight characters. Why would Deborah even sneer at that? Did she think providing the eight characters was useless?

Did Deborah know Wen Song, or did she know Shi Yang?

It seemed the other party had quite a lot of grievances against the Wen Family.

While others couldn’t calculate it, Ah Chen truly could. Once she had the eight characters, she didn’t even need the items Shi Yang had worn for a long time during her lifetime; she should be able to track the person’s reincarnation.

She indeed wanted to see if this person was Lin Xixi.

The pleasant dinner time arrived, but the Wen Family’s live broadcast had not yet ended. The audience once again witnessed the Wen Family’s extravagance, drooling over the food on the table even through the screen.

Especially certain mischievous people who directly started a live stream, taking a close-up shot of the table, prompting fans to jokingly threaten to unfollow for a minute.

After dinner, Chen Wan’an appeared.

"Starting tomorrow, the Wen Family will install cameras in the living rooms of the masters’ residences. There will also be close-up filming wherever the masters move within the castle."

"Aside from that, the masters are free to act as they please. If you discover anything or need assistance, you can call for help at any time."

"Additionally, after breakfast tomorrow morning, the gentleman will be present to provide the masters with some information, hoping that the masters can use this information to find Miss Shi’s reincarnation."

"Alright, next is the free time for the masters. You can choose from a variety of nightlife activities or return to your residence to rest. If you need anything, just ask the servants in the castle."

The castle was full of servants, so there was no fear of not finding someone to ask.

[I’m so envious.]

[This place has every kind of entertainment facility, and there’s even a small town. Some streamers have visited before, and it has all kinds of performances. Of course, the things inside are free, provided for the masters. ]

[If I had known earlier, I would have started building a following online with tarot cards, and even if I couldn’t pass the test, I could still stay here for three days.]

[So envious, whose family actually owns a small town?]

[Damn, why am I not a rich person?]

Luo Yun was very interested in visiting the small town, eagerly pulling Ah Chen and the others along. Since they couldn’t sleep, they all agreed.

Arriving at the entrance of the town, the stone tablet had the name of the town written on it: Yangyang Town.

Those few words again reminded people of the beautiful love story between Wen Song and Shi Yang, though it lacked a perfect ending. People once again prayed, hoping they could reunite this time and have a beautiful ending.

Ah Chen noticed that Deborah stared at the words "Yangyang Town" on the stone tablet for a long time. She was covered by a black robe, but since Ah Chen was close, she could see a flash of disdain and mockery in Deborah’s eyes.

Many people were looking at those words, so Deborah’s behavior wasn’t strange.

But unlike her, others were lamenting the love between Wen Song and Shi Yang, sorrowfully recalling the separation of lovers by death.

The more she heard those words, the more coldness enveloped Deborah. She wanted to say something but ultimately didn’t. Her gaze slowly moved away from the words on the stone tablet.

"Deborah, aren’t you hot wearing such a thick robe?" Luo Yun finally asked the question she had been wanting to ask. It was fine indoors where there was air conditioning, but outside there wasn’t, and even with cooling measures, wearing something so thick would still be hot, wouldn’t it?

It was okay at night, but during the day it would really be sweltering.

Deborah calmly replied, "Not hot."

She reached out to Luo Yun, who instinctively held her hand, finding it surprisingly cool.

Then Deborah lifted her black robe, and as it brushed against Luo Yun’s skin, she felt it to be icy and soft, her eyes widening and her mouth slightly open.

"What kind of treasure is this robe?"

Deborah’s eyes revealed a rare smile, "A secret."

Luo Yun: ...

Damn it, who said this black-robed witch was sinister and terrifying? She even joked and teased people.

Of course, Luo Yun knew these were people’s secrets and shouldn’t be probed too deeply; otherwise, it would be impolite. She didn’t persist on this matter.

"If you feel hot, would you like me to cast a Cooling Technique?" Ge Yu offered, noticing the beads of sweat on Luo Yun’s forehead.

Luo Yun quickly nodded, "Thank you, Handsome Ge."

Ge Yu, feeling a bit embarrassed by being called handsome, swiftly cast a Cooling Technique on Luo Yun.

In that instant, Luo Yun felt entirely refreshed. Wow, was this the power of a Mystic Master?

She leaned closer to Ge Yu, "Handsome Ge, do you think it’s suitable for someone like me to switch to studying mystical skills now?"

[Hahaha, our Luo Yun is really too cute.]

[Luo Yun, are you planning to betray the Tarot World?]

Ge Yu seriously examined Luo Yun for a while and tactfully said, "You can start learning at any age. If you want to achieve great success, don’t hold too much hope; these require fate and talent. Also, don’t let these pursuits affect your life. For most people, managing their own lives well is already a significant achievement."

Luo Yun understood, felt a bit low, but wasn’t very disappointed.

[Master Ge’s words are very impartial.]

[This is what makes a qualified Mystic Master, not blindly marketing how great this path is.]

Ge Yu nodded approvingly, seeing Luo Yun’s clear eyes. In this respect, Luo Yun actually had a pretty good temperament.

"Every year, the White Mountain Sect recruits volunteers, providing meals and accommodations free of charge in exchange for work. The benefit is that volunteers can attend basic courses on mystical skills within the sect. If you have a natural affinity, you might have a chance in this path. You can keep an eye on it if you’re interested," Ge Yu said, "But whether you get selected is uncertain; it depends on fate. Not everyone who applies gets picked."
