Chapter 678: Chapter 676: The Family’s Charlatan (Part 1)
[Why isn’t Ah Chen speaking, afraid to participate in Wen Family’s livestream?]
[Honestly, anyone with some skill wouldn’t be afraid to join Wen Family’s livestream, right? If you really have the capability to find Mr. Wen’s first love reincarnated, you can get a billion as a reward and a favor from Mr. Wen.]
[The Wen Family is a global giant; how many people wouldn’t want to give it a try?]
[I’ve heard that anyone who receives an invitation from Wen Family has all their travel expenses covered, and even if they don’t pass the basic test, they can stay in Wen’s Castle for free for three days and can tour around freely.]
[It seems like Mr. Wen really can’t forget his first love, willing to spend so much to invite so many capable talents to help find her reincarnation.]
[But making it so high-profile, is that really a good idea? Could it be just a hype by Wen Family?]
[Does Wen Family even need to hype? What for? Not that I mean to say, but if Mr. Wen decided to do a livestream himself, it’d be more popular than anything, and besides, the Wen Family doesn’t need all that.]
[Maybe some younger folks online don’t understand why Mr. Wen is doing this, but I do. Mr. Wen’s first love was in the entertainment circle and loved the stage. I guess Mr. Wen is doing this because of her passion. Maybe this way, they can find her reincarnation faster.]
[Mr. Wen is only 35, right? When did Shi Yang pass away? What if the reincarnation is a child? Also, they won’t remember anything after reincarnation, and if they can’t rekindle their past relationship, wouldn’t it be tragic?]
[I remember Shi Yang died eleven years ago in an accident, so... the reincarnation might indeed be a child?]
[I heard that Mr. Wen is doing this because of Shi Yang’s last words before her accident. She regretted not marrying him, and said if there’s a chance, she’d definitely want to be with him in the next life. If he can find her, they can renew their relationship. This world is magical, who knows if Shi Yang had some intuition when she died.]
[Let me say, reincarnation doesn’t always mean moving forward; one can reincarnate to the past too.]
[Enough of that talk, going off topic now. Isn’t Ah Chen usually articulate? Now he’s on a call with Xiao Xi, being asked if he will attend Wen Family’s livestream, and he still hasn’t agreed.]
[People used to say Ah Chen doesn’t actually know any mystical skills; I didn’t believe it, but now it seems like his true colors are about to be revealed.]
[The so-called masters who were active online probably all received invitations from Wen Family, let’s see who dares to go and who will chicken out. On the day of the livestream, whoever doesn’t show up, I’m planning to unfollow; I don’t want to follow a fraud.]
[Unexpectedly, today Xiao Xi got on a call with him and asked whether Ah Chen would attend the livestream. Probably saw through Ah Chen, realizing he’s a fraud.]
[Xiao Xi truly has skills, even has a master, many people say Xiao Xi knows the real deal, and Xiao Xi often tells us to be discerning about online masters and not to be easily deceived. Now, suddenly asking about this, Xiao Xi probably wants Ah Chen to back off and admit he’s a fraud, and to stop scamming the fans.]
[How is he scamming? Weren’t those things bought voluntarily? No one coaxed you into buying them, and it’s not expensive either. Moreover, several high school seniors with psychological issues came for a result reading with Boss Feng, and after buying a Calming Talisman, their psychological issues were resolved, and they achieved good exam results. Boss Feng is so skilled, she couldn’t possibly have students scoring near 700 helping her fake results, right?]
[Since Boss Feng’s livestream, she has helped many people. How could she not have real skills?]
[And Boss Feng’s main job isn’t even doing this; she runs a funeral shop.]
[Haha, exactly. If not for people asking Boss Feng for help, she’d just be selling some incense, paper money, paper dolls, and paper houses.]
[No matter how many people Ah Chen has helped, she should have received the invitation from Wen Family, and there’s no danger in going. Just by passing a basic test, even without finding Mr. Wen’s first love reincarnated, she can get a five hundred thousand yuan reward. So any master with a bit of knowledge wouldn’t fear such an occasion.]
[Why is it necessary to go? Skilled people don’t need to prove themselves like that; believe it or not.]
The comments once again grew heated, and that’s when Ah Chen’s awareness returned, with a slight pause, she realized what time it was.
It was during the call between "Learning Mystical Skills Xiao Xi" and the commissioner, both being livestreamer anchors in the mystical skills field, each with quite a few followers.
Xiao Xi indeed has a master and some formal training, learning a few skills, though still at an intermediate level in the Mystical Art World. But compared to the various fraudster masters online, Xiao Xi is considered skilled.
She is passionate, often broadcasting educational content and even exposing scams online, unmasking many fraudulent masters and earning a large following.
However, she hit a wall with the commissioner. As the comments said, helping with mystical skills wasn’t the commissioner’s main job; it was only when approached during a livestream that she’d take action. She would also assess whether the problem was something she could solve, leaving Xiao Xi with no opportunity to expose her in public.
The commissioner is indeed a fake master, but she doesn’t use this to scam money, and she does help people resolve their issues.
Moreover, to make herself seem somewhat capable and able to help solve problems, she even pursued a degree in psychology, graduating with top marks.
Armed with psychological knowledge and having read some mystical skills books, though lacking real skills, she genuinely could handle some common psychological issues.
Although this world may include mystics, monsters, and demons, there aren’t that many; it’s clearly an era with thin spiritual energy.
The internet is a mix of real and fake, and true masters don’t have time to bust frauds. They believe everyone has their own fate; unless they encounter it, they won’t interfere. With so many people and issues worldwide, they’d exhaust themselves otherwise.
After graduating from university, the commissioner took over her family’s funeral shop, inheriting her adoptive father’s skill in making paper dolls. The funeral shop didn’t suffer due to her takeover but instead thrived as her creativity made it more popular.
Her adoptive father seemed relieved of a burden, starting to travel and occasionally calling or sending local specialties, living a warm and simple life.
Until today’s call with "Learning Mystical Skills Xiao Xi," connecting them to the commissioner.
The commissioner did receive an invitation from Wen Family, which was quite tempting. With Wen’s Castle photos circulating online, very few people could refuse a chance to visit.
Moreover, receiving an invitation means all travel and accommodation expenses are covered, a rare opportunity that might not come again in a hundred years.
If she passes the basic test and proves to have real skills, the fifty thousand yuan reward is guaranteed.
However, the commissioner is a hereditary trickster and not a true master. She hasn’t claimed to know much, but everyone knows; such things need no words, only understanding.
