When the powerful Ming Zhuo woke up, she found herself an abandoned orphan about to be publicly disowned by a wealthy family on a show. Someone told her that her biological mother was a delicate mo...
The comments section is going crazy; is this even human?
No, this is not a human, this is a god!
Although some people were sarcastic in the comments, saying it was a deliberate publicity stunt and showing off, and that a person practicing cultivation shouldn't have such a strong sense of vanity, they were quickly criticized by other netizens.
[This is the top scorer in the college entrance exam! If I could do that well, I'd brag about it to the dogs at the village entrance.]
Are you not showing off because you don't want to?
[You all brag about your junior sister getting accepted into the Taoist Academy early, but why can't you brag about someone who actually passed the college entrance exam and became a top scorer?]
Can some brainwashed fans please stop with their double standards?
[The divination master did so well on the exam, it must have really hit a nerve with you guys.]
[Hilarious! You all thought the Three-Gossip God was here to compete with the junior sister, but actually, he wouldn't even bother competing with your idol; you thought the Three-Gossip God was ugly, but actually, he's incredibly handsome; you thought the Three-Gossip God's grades were bad, but actually, he was the top scorer in the college entrance exam.]
[Completely crushed, a complete and utter crushing defeat.]
[How dare you say that the Three Gossip God is trying to scam the Junior Sister? What does the Junior Sister have that she can compare to?]
After being scolded, the junior sister's fans completely shut down.
Anyway, we can't compete with each other, and we can't afford to fight back, so what else can we do?

Chu Yuqi was also watching the live stream.
She had always resented Cheng Jingru for using her to promote her own image, but Cheng Jingru's leading lady aura was just too strong. Every time she wanted to compete with Cheng Jingru, she was always a step behind for various reasons.
The last time she went to catch those wishers, the temperature in the valley was already very low. She guarded it for a week, enduring the cold and exhaustion every day. She only went back to the hotel to rest for a while, and Cheng Jingru stole all the credit.
Later, when he got into trouble, Cheng Jingru appeared on TV shows in high spirits, and always managed to solve the mystery at the crucial moment, which greatly boosted her popularity and made her the center of attention.
Finally, the tables turned, and Cheng Jingru met her nemesis, Ming Zhuo, and was finally outmaneuvered.
Chu Yuqi felt extremely relieved watching this.
When Mingzhuo became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, Chu Yuqi was stunned for a moment, and felt a pang of sadness.
Because she was missing the college entrance examination, it was Elder Bai who arranged for her to directly enter the Taoist Academy in the second half of the year.
This was only because she passed the magic test; otherwise, she wouldn't even have this much of a chance.
Chu Yuqi felt that something was wrong. She thought that she had mastered the whole plot of the book and that her cultivation level was not bad, so she could successfully become the focus of everyone's attention.
Unexpectedly, reality taught her a lesson, and she was completely reduced to a supporting role.
She thought about the plot of the book carefully, but felt that many of the later parts were blurry and she couldn't remember them.
But how could that be? She always had a great memory and knew the plot of the book by heart!
Could it be that the brain was invaded by the incense ash gu, causing brain damage?
Chu Yuqi turned her gaze back to the live stream, vaguely thinking that something seemed off.
But what exactly was wrong? She couldn't quite put her finger on it for the moment.

The production team probably considered that it was Mingzhuo's first time on the show, so they chose a relatively easy case this time.
Although the show has a similar name, it is different from the previous low-budget show "Spirit Inquiry". The consultants of "Spirit Slayer" are no longer off-site instructors, but enter the venue with the contestants.
However, consultants do not need to intervene unless absolutely necessary; their role is merely to observe, supervise, and evaluate.
However, because "Slay the Spirits" has its own selection mechanism, cases that are not A-level or above are directly screened out, and most of them are S-level or SS-level missions.
Therefore, consultants are often required to take action. Shen Boyuan and Cheng Jingru worked well together and helped everyone a lot at crucial moments.
Luo Wenxin, as a scholar, had no cultivation whatsoever, and in the previous few sessions, she relied on Shen Boyuan's protection.
He leaned closer to Mingzhuo and whispered, "Master Ruan, could you please keep an eye on me for a while?"
Mingzhuo glanced at the folding fan he was waving in his hand. The fan was covered with scriptures, the strokes sharp and carrying a hint of murderous intent.
Luo Wenxin was a little embarrassed: "I don't know magic, so I asked a high monk to write this Buddhist scripture and consecrate it. At least it can scare away ordinary ghosts and monsters."
Mingzhuo: "Even the handwriting of a monk carries such a heavy murderous aura?"
Luo Wenxin: "Perhaps it's because that high monk was rather special; he entered Buddhism with murderous intent."
Mingzhuo said with great interest, "I must meet this eminent monk another day."
Luo Wenxin smiled and said, "Great! I happen to be on good terms with him, so I can take you to meet him."
As they spoke, the group entered a building and took the elevator.
The task we're assigned is this haunted building.
Hongguang Building has been built for over 30 years. When it was first completed, it became a landmark building in the entire city.
However, due to urban development and the rise of skyscrapers, Hongguang Building gradually lost its former glory and popularity because its design concept was not advanced enough.
The group entered the lobby on the first floor, and to everyone's surprise, the decor was quite modern.
The room was bright and clean, the marble floor gleamed, and the reception area next door had a glass partition with a beautifully decorated display case.
As the host walked around, he introduced the building to everyone: "Five years ago, Hongguang Building was quite popular. A financial company took a liking to it and spent a lot of money on renovations. Customers would often come to the lobby on the first floor to discuss business. However, later that financial company went bankrupt, and investors came every day to put up banners, which even resulted in a death."
"At that time, there was a person who invested all of his family's assets, 12 million yuan, into a financial company. In order to raise money, he also borrowed a lot of money from his relatives. In the end, he couldn't bear the blow and jumped off the top floor."
A collective sigh escaped the crowd, and someone asked, "Did the place become haunted after that person died?"
The host shook his head. "This is just one of the murder cases. You'll understand when you see the client."
The client was waiting at the elevator entrance. Seeing everyone approaching, he excitedly greeted them, "Hello, host! Hello, masters!"
Song Chongwen is 39 years old this year and is a successful small business owner.
He initially chose Hongguang Building because of its low rent, renting two floors at once and signing a five-year contract before moving his company there.
He knew, of course, that people had died in this building, and many people considered it unlucky, but he didn't believe in such things.
Moreover, he deliberately avoided the top floor where the financial company was located and chose the relatively safe eleventh or twelfth floor.
Unexpectedly, a murder occurred at the company two months ago.
One of the employees, for reasons unknown, suddenly jumped off a building and committed suicide.
After the other party died, the company's employees frequently saw ghosts.
At first, Song Chongwen tried to suppress the matter by both calming down and making a show of force, but as more and more people saw ghosts, it gradually caused panic.
It was alright during the day, but the ghosts came out at night, causing panic in the company.
At first, the ghost only appeared when someone was alone, but it gradually became ineffective when there were many people. One day, when an employee was using the paper shredder, he felt a cold hand push him from behind, and his hand got caught in the paper shredder, with a piece of flesh torn off.
