Chapter 29 (Two-in-One)

In fact, Xu Kaifu had already clicked on Yifeng's homepage and watched his live broadcast carefully.

Although Yifeng is a bit arrogant, he will still do what he thinks is beneficial to him.

Today's performance was much better than the previous two times. If you ask patiently, you can analyze more information.

However, after watching carefully, Xu Kaifu came to some conclusions based on the information he obtained, but for some reason, he always felt that something was not right.

Finally he discovered something strange.

After Yifeng called, he started asking customary questions.

"Teacher Xu, did you watch my live broadcast just now? What do you think of my judgment?"

"Very helpful," Xu Kaifu praised expressionlessly, then asked about his findings. "But why did you only talk to the child's father for so long and leave the child aside?"

This question made Yifeng choke for a moment. He couldn't say that during the first competition, he used the wrong method and tried to trick Weng Tian, ​​but ended up getting himself involved, which left him with a psychological trauma. He planned to wait until the first day was over, ask Xu Kaifu, and then communicate with the boy in the right way, right?

However, Yifeng still subconsciously tried to make excuses for himself.

"I think this kid seems difficult to persuade and has a serious rebellious mentality, so I'm going to do the opposite first. Leave him alone for a while to pique his curiosity, so we can have a better conversation later... What's up? Teacher Xu, did I do something wrong?"

"That's not the case." Xu Kaifu didn't expose him, but continued, "Based on my initial observation, this child does have a strong rebellious mentality. You must be prepared for a protracted war..."

When Yifeng heard the news, he felt a bit of a heart attack, but his unwillingness to admit defeat soon overcame him.

"So when I'm dealing with a child with a serious rebellious mentality, I should first make him feel like I'm on his side. Once we're familiar with him, I can then use both reason and emotion to persuade him... Is this the right approach?"

When Xu Kaifu heard the word "deal with" come out of Yifeng's mouth, his brows furrowed unconsciously. In his opinion, Yifeng's inadvertent expression of indifference and failure to treat patients as equals was extremely irresponsible!

Fortunately, he studied psychology!

It took Xu Kaifu a long time to suppress his dislike for Yifeng.

Yifeng hadn't realized that his unintentional words had exposed his mentality. When he heard Xu Kaifu's silence for a while, he thought that his way of speaking was wrong.

"Teacher Xu, isn't this method correct?"

"...Based on my many years of experience, this method should be correct."

Xu Kaifu could only keep emphasizing in his mind that if you owe someone a favor, you must repay it. This was the only way to ensure that he could adjust his mindset and continue the conversation with Yifeng.

After receiving affirmation from him, Yifeng immediately felt relieved.

The failures in the first two rounds had always bothered him, but now he finally had Xu Kaifu as his backer, and his confidence increased.

"By the way, how is your opponent?" Xu Kaifu received a request from Xiao Jingyao and others at the last minute, so he took the time to watch Yifeng's video and attend the banquet. However, he was usually too busy, so he didn't have time to get to know Yifeng's opponent.

While talking to Yifeng on the phone, he asked about it.

When Xu Kaifu asked about Yu Lanlan, Yifeng didn't think twice and embellished the details of his dispute with her and told her.

"Yu Lanlan's background is indeed much better than mine. She graduated from Tallis University. We didn't have any major conflicts of interest, but I just can't stand her. She's clearly a Western psychology major, but she insists on using the guise of 'metaphysics'. She's clearly using scientific methods, but she insists on telling the audience that it's feudal superstition. This behavior is simply going to great lengths to create hype and tarnish the reputation of psychology. That's why I challenged her to a duel."

"Her luck has always been pretty good. In the first two rounds, the patients she encountered were superficially similar to mine, but the actual difficulty of the treatment was much lower. However, before I had time to correct my treatment methods, my patients in those two rounds actually chose to turn against me. This gave Yu Lanlan, who had prepared in advance, a chance to take advantage... Ugh..."

Xu Kaifu originally wanted to hear Yifeng's opinion on his opponent this time, but he didn't expect that all his words were praises and criticisms of his opponent, written in a rather exaggerated way.

He didn't believe what Yifeng said. Since the anchor named Yu Lanlan was able to cure all four patients, her strength must be very strong.

but……

"Metaphysics? Did the other party say that he was using metaphysics?"

Xu Kaifu's frown wasn't simply a matter of scowling this time. If he hadn't been exposed to the world of metaphysics, he might not have been so impressed. But he had firsthand knowledge of the strengths of the occultists. At the time, he'd been grateful that they wouldn't easily reveal themselves to the public due to the doctrine of karma. If they had, it would have been devastating to many industries.

While others still need to conduct detection step by step, the other party can make accurate predictions only through divination. This is equivalent to others solving the problem step by step, while the other party has already obtained the answer at the beginning. Such unfairness can be called a dimensionality reduction attack!

However, it is not credible to say that Yifeng’s opponent is from Xuanmen!

After all, he had heard from the Xuanmen people that if they interfered in other people's lives, they would suffer the consequences!

Although the Xuanmen people are powerful, they also value their lives. It should be impossible for them to do such a thing that puts the cart before the horse.

Is it really like what Yifeng said, that his opponents are just using the guise of metaphysics, but are actually using psychological theories?

While his thoughts were racing, Yifeng's words came to his mind at the right time.

"If you don't believe me, you can definitely check out her videos. In the first round, she used micro-expressions, movements, and details to find a solution for her first patient. Later, she did some research on a patient who had defected from me and used hypnosis directly. The second round was even easier, but she still used various details to give the patient direct psychological hints. She was even more shameless with the patient who had defected, actually copying my health exercises directly!"

Hearing Yifeng's increasingly angry tone, Xu Kaifu expressed even more doubt about his words.

"It's okay, I'll go check out the other person's video first."

Yi Feng also realized his own loss of composure and quickly added, "It's not that I'm narrow-minded, it's mainly because Yu Lanlan is really both a powerful and a hypocrite..."

It would be fine if he just admitted it, but he obviously has a narrow mind and still tries to make excuses. Xu Kaifu's impression of him is really not good.

"I understand. I'll go watch Yu Lanlan's video first. You go ahead and do your work."

The two hung up the phone.

As Xu Kaifu said, he took the time to find and watch Yu Lanlan's video.

Compared to Yifeng, he can see more.

For the first patient in the first level, Yu Lanlan did observe the other party's small details, and the subsequent divinations did seem to be obtained through observation.

But when it comes to the patients transferred from Yifeng, the condition they are in is obviously not something that can be achieved by casual hypnosis!

Assuming the other party really used hypnosis, it would take a top-notch psychologist to do it! With Yu Lanlan's qualifications, it seems really unlikely...

In the second level, the sense of disharmony is even more obvious!

Even the most powerful psychic can never guess from the beginning that there is something wrong with the other person's birthday!!

Yifeng was probably wearing tinted glasses for too long, and subconsciously classified it as a normal event!

After reading it, Xu Kaifu could already conclude that the other party must be a real person from the Xuanmen!

I just don't know why she chose to come out into the world! Isn't she afraid of the consequences of karma?!

At this point, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Jingyao and Zhang Lu, who had asked him to help Yifeng. It was impossible for these two not to recognize a kindred spirit. Knowing that Yu Lanlan was also from the metaphysical world, why would they ask him to help Yifeng fight someone he had no chance of defeating?

Xu Kaifu's heart was filled with doubts.

Could it be that Yu Lanlan and Xiao Jingyao had a grudge against each other, so they deliberately took revenge on her?

Unable to come up with an answer, he chose to call Zhang Lu directly.

Zhang Lu also answered the call quickly.

"Mr. Zhang, do you know that Yu Lanlan, who was fighting against Yi Feng, is also a member of the Xuanmen Sect?"

"I know, that's why I asked you to help Yifeng."

Xu Kaifu asked tentatively, "Could it be that Yifeng has done you some favor?"

Unexpectedly, this sentence caused Zhang Lu to sneer.

"It's so funny. What kind of kindness can an ordinary person do to us? Hahaha..."

After laughing for a while, Zhang Lu said, "Anyway, don't worry about it. It doesn't matter if Yifeng can't win. You just need to help him and make sure he doesn't lose so quickly."

Xu Kaifu probed again: "Since Yifeng didn't do you any favors, then Yu Lanlan has a grudge against you? Yifeng and I are just two ordinary people. No matter what, we can't compare to Yu Lanlan. Mr. Zhang, why don't you take action yourself?"

Unexpectedly, this sentence seemed to touch Zhang Lu's sore spot.

"I asked you to help, so just help! Why are you asking so many unnecessary questions?! We at Guixu Sect helped you in the past, so you owe us a debt of gratitude. Doing things for us is something most people wouldn't even beg for. If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will take your place."

Even a clay man has a temper, not to mention that Zhang Lu's words simply belittled Xu Kaifu to a certain extent. Although Xu Kaifu owed someone a favor, the one he owed was only to Zhang Lu and his generation. After hearing this, he no longer gave the other party face and directly expressed his guess.

"I'm afraid it's not that Mr. Zhang doesn't want to take action himself, but that he doesn't dare to take action?"

"I remember that you Xuanmen people are most afraid of karma. You don't want to help Yifeng, but you want him to drag Yu Lanlan to death. This karma is too big, and you don't want to be involved, so you sent me to do it?"

"You're afraid of taking the consequences of a life, but I'm not?"

Zhang Lu didn't expect that Xu Kaifu could guess what they were thinking. He was so angry that his face turned black.

"Okay, how dare you talk to me like that!"

Now that the relationship has fallen out, Xu Kaifu will no longer tolerate it.

"Master Xiao only gave me a heads-up back then. This favor hasn't reached the point where I have to help you harm others. Since Mr. Zhang said there are plenty of people who can take your place, then please seek someone else!"

The call was hung up.

Zhang Lu couldn't bear it any longer, and swept the snuff bottle next to him down, and an antique worth six figures was shattered into pieces.

Zhang Lu, who was still angry, called Xiao Jingyao again and told him everything.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingyao also scolded him.

"Are you a pig?! Why did you explain it so carefully to Mr. Xu? He asked if Yifeng did us a favor, couldn't you just admit it directly?!"

Zhang Lu finally realized his mistake. "This... I didn't think too much about it at the time. How could an ordinary person do us a favor..."

Xiao Jingyao was completely convinced by this idiot teammate. "That's great now. We have to find someone else. Yu Lanlan is so high-spirited. The longer we wait, the more people will discover her sympathies. By then, more and more people will target Tongling, and the chances of us taking her down will get smaller and smaller..."

After hearing this, Zhang Lu felt even more stupid and regretted his previous behavior.

"What should I do then, Brother Xiao? Should I go find Xu Kaifu again?"

"He's not a fool. He would have helped even though we hadn't explained it clearly before. Now that he knows there's such a huge causal relationship involved, how could he still participate?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lu breathed a sigh of relief...

-

Xu Kaifu never expected that what he thought was just an ordinary favor could involve a life.

Originally, intervening in the younger generation's fighting in the ring was already against his own principles. Now that he knew the inside story, he would never help the evil.

Moreover, he also thought of Yu Lanlan, who might not be aware of the situation yet.

Xu Kaifu guessed that the other party might be a newcomer in the world of metaphysics and did not understand many of the rules of metaphysics. In order to make up for it, he decided to remind him.

-

Yu Lanlan was seriously reviewing the contents of the Chinese Medicine Doctor License Examination when she unexpectedly received a WeChat message from Mr. Wei, the Crow.

The other party asked her if she knew Xu Kaifu, a well-known figure in the Chinese psychology community.

The next WeChat message came right after, claiming that Xu Kaifu was asking him for her phone number.

It was impossible for Yu Lanlan herself to know anyone in this world. After carefully checking the memory of her original body, she found that the other party did not recognize this person in his memory either.

When asked by President Wei whether she wanted to give him her phone number, Yu Lanlan thought about it and decided to let President Wei give it to her.

Not long after, a strange phone call came to her cell phone.

After the call was connected, the other party introduced his name.

"Hello, Miss Yu. I'm Xu Kaifu. I have something to tell you..."

Xu Kaifu didn't waste any words and directly told the whole cause and effect of the matter.

"...I'm really sorry. When I agreed to this with Xiao Jingyao and the others, I thought it was just a small matter."

Just by looking at the other party's decision, Yu Lanlan could sense that he was not a bad person, so she comforted him, "It's okay, it's really just a small matter."

Xu Kaifu thought that she didn't understand the consequences of revealing the secrets, so he quickly explained to her the theory of cause and effect that he had heard from the Taoists.

According to Xu Kaifu, Yu Lanlan finally understood one thing.

It seems that there is indeed a metaphysical world in this world.

"You're talking about Xiao Jingyao and Zhang Lu from Guixu Sect, right? ...Okay, I understand. Thank you for the reminder..."

When the other party mentioned again that continuing the live broadcast might lead to karma and premature death, Yu Lanlan simply explained: "I know, but I have reasons for not being able to do this."

Xu Kaifu didn't know what the reason was, but when he heard Yu Lanlan's firm determination, he had to give up trying to persuade her.

-

The second day of the third level.

The live broadcast of the ring started again on time.

The father and son who had asked for help from Yu Lanlan appeared again with a look of gratitude on their faces.

"Master, I asked my son and my old mother, and what you said is absolutely correct!"

"This kid is really something! He made me so worried, but it turns out he really is making money in the game, and he's making quite a bit, almost catching up to my salary!"

Seeing the father's change from worry to pride, Yu Lanlan said tactfully, "Your son is naturally intelligent. If he puts all his heart into studying, he will achieve greater success in the future."

Hearing this, the boy’s father immediately became serious.

"Yes, yes, his job now should be studying!"

"But you don't have to worry. If you stay in your hometown, your financial luck will improve, and you won't have to worry too much about your children's tuition."

This sentence calmed the boy's father down.

After resolving the issues arising from the misunderstanding, the staff took the boy for final testing.

On the other side, Yifeng was also in progress.

With Xu Kaifu's affirmation, he no longer held back. After taking the boy's father to the cubicle to confirm yesterday's issue, he learned that the boy did start playing games after his grades dropped.

"Then, this is where you're wrong. It's very likely that the child is tired of studying because of declining grades, so he's shifted all his attention to games. You don't even understand the situation, but you directly blame the child. Of course, the child will rebel."

"My advice is that you should pay attention to your child's mentality and not put too much pressure on him. You should implement a policy of more encouragement and less suppression..."

Yifeng talked eloquently, and the boy's father nodded repeatedly.

After talking to the father, it was the son's turn.

Yifeng asked the boy's father to stay in the cubicle first while he talked to the boy alone for a while.

This time, the boy had a pre-existing condition of disliking school due to declining academic performance, so Yifeng directly used study as a breakthrough.

"Xiaosheng, I heard from your father that you were always at the top of your class in junior high school. Are you having trouble adapting to high school?"

The boy named Xiaosheng looked at him and said nothing.

Yifeng continued his efforts.

"When I was your age, I encountered the same situation. It's not that our IQ can't keep up, but the knowledge systems of junior high and high school are different. As long as we find the right method, our grades will always improve. Isn't that right?"

Xiaosheng still ignored him.

Yifeng looked at his still handsome face and felt a little impatient, but he suppressed it and continued to persuade him.

Unexpectedly, before he spoke again, Xiaosheng finally spoke for the first time.

"Do you know why Sima Yi was able to win in the end?"

Yifeng was stunned for a moment, and vaguely recalled from his memory that Sima Yi seemed to be the one who benefited from the victory of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period in history.

"Is it because of the right time, right place, and right people?"

"No, because he's still big."

Yifeng was stunned...

-

Yifeng's conversation with the boy was completely irrelevant. He felt that he had made a mistake in the detection, which led to the failure of the counseling the next day.

Especially after the live broadcast, when he heard Li Zaiming say that Yu Lanlan’s child was not actually addicted to games at all, but just made money from the game because he felt sorry for his father, he couldn’t control his fucked up mood.

“Fuck you!!”

Yifeng smashed his new phone again.

This time, not only Li Zaiming, but also other team members felt a little pain when they saw the phone lying on the ground with a cracked screen.

This is my second phone...

Yifeng was so angry that his scalp was numb. Finally, after Li Zaiming reminded him that he still had Xu Kaifu's support, he sat down for a while, calmed down, and started to call Xu Kaifu.

This time, the other party took a long time to answer, which made Yifeng even angrier.

When the call was about to be automatically disconnected, Xu Kaifu finally answered the phone.

Yifeng quickly pretended to be respectful and began to ask, "Teacher Xu, did you watch today's live broadcast?"

He was about to ask what went wrong when he heard Xu Kaifu's cold words: "I suggest you don't argue with Miss Yu. She is really from the metaphysical world. You can't beat her."

After saying that, the other party hung up directly...
