Chapter 74

Yifeng was still thinking about the impact of public opinion that would be brought to him by these metaphysical masters revealing their identities, and had long forgotten the two Shenshi anchors who were following him.

It was An Qiqingmen who stopped on their own.

Yifeng was also forced to stop, and when he saw them coming up, he still didn't understand what they meant.

"We are only responsible for helping you." An Qiqing's disciples said meaningfully.

Following their gaze, the anchor Shen Shi hadn't realized the crisis he was about to face, and he stuck his head out of the car window.

"Brother Feng, why did you stop?!"

Seeing the clear stupidity in each other's eyes, no one spoke for a moment.

The comments in Yifeng's live broadcast room were originally mocking him for a Western psychology anchor who actually asked a metaphysical master to help him cheat, but after seeing this situation, the audience's attention was instantly diverted.

[Goodness! Does this mean Yifeng should abandon those two anchors who have always been loyal to him?]

Oh my god, how can I choose?

Those two streamers are so miserable. They followed Yifeng, but because of him, they didn't get any missions, and they didn't complain. Now they may even face being abandoned by Yifeng.

[The previous part isn't about possibility, it's about certainty. Do you think Yifeng would disobey these metaphysical masters for the sake of these two useless anchors? ...]

One sentence instantly caused a huge uproar.

Faced with the obvious thoughts of An Qiqingmen, Yi Feng was speechless for a moment.

If it wasn't under the camera, he would definitely choose to abandon these two burdens without blinking an eye.

But now he is in the official live broadcast event.

On one hand, there's the matter of advancing to the next round, and on the other hand, there's the matter of one's own image...

Yifeng hesitated, but he didn't know that at the moment he hesitated, he had been pinned to the pillar of shame by the audience.

[Hiss...hesitated. Okay, no need to doubt it anymore.]

[Oh my god, this kind of person... drags others down and then abandons them. Do they have any moral bottom line?]

I really feel for those two Shenshi anchors. They literally did whatever Yifeng told them to do without complaint. Even if he had immediately asked those metaphysical masters if they could offer other conditions in exchange for the chance to lead two anchors, he wouldn't have looked so cold-hearted...

On the other side, the anchor also noticed the weird atmosphere and chose to get out of the car and walk towards Yifeng.

The barrage was even more sad at this time.

[It was Yifeng who was about to abandon her, yet she still wanted him to come forward. 6]

Sure enough, the audience's guess was soon confirmed.

It’s just that the method Yifeng found made the audience witness his shamelessness even more.

"Aji, the number of people for this mission... is probably full." Yifeng thought he was telling a white lie that would let the other party see his difficulties, but in fact he just wanted to force the other party to withdraw voluntarily.

The barrage exploded immediately.

[I'm speechless. Although these two anchors aren't good people, they really made me laugh. They're really good at playing both the real and the fake.]

[He really didn't think about whether those two anchors would come back to watch his live broadcast after they left? Or did he know that he was being strongly supported by Shen Shi, so he was fearless and let them suffer in silence?]

[I really don't understand. Are the senior executives at Shenshi completely blind? They have to support this kind of thing when there are so many other normal streamers? ...]

When the host named Aji heard Yifeng's words, his expression suddenly froze.

He is not a fool, so why doesn't he understand what Yifeng means?

He really wanted to ask, these metaphysical masters were so powerful, why hadn't they completed a single task after two days? Couldn't they give up two spots for him and his companions?

Unfortunately, he knew he couldn't, because they were different from Yifeng. If they didn't follow Yifeng, the other party's background would be enough to make them unable to survive in this industry.

However, the frustration, dissatisfaction and regret that suddenly erupted in his heart made him very unwilling.

The silence lasted for more than ten seconds. Seeing Yifeng's expression showing impatience with his back to the camera, Aji finally gave in and gave a fake smile.

"Since there's no room left, Ayuan and I will find another task to do."

Although everyone knows that with only two people, under such urgent conditions, there is a 99% chance that it is impossible to accomplish it.

Seeing that he agreed tactfully, Yifeng finally smiled and gave him a sweet reward after giving him a beating.

"I know I've been a burden to you all. I'll definitely apologize to you when I get back to the company."

The implication behind this is that they will be given certain compensation, but such a blank check can never compare to the activities that receive the most exposure on the platform.

It was only the second round and they were defeated because of Yi Feng. Most importantly, they also lost the chance to compete for the debut position of the big anchor. Although they had a high probability of not making it to the end, what if they could have gotten it by sheer luck?

Aji really hated Yifeng in his heart.

But Yifeng actually didn't take him too seriously. After making it look good, he said goodbye to Aji and prepared to leave with An Qiqing.

Yifeng thought he had handled it very well, but in fact, even An Qiqing and his disciples went behind his back and exchanged looks of disgust.

Before restarting the car, Yifeng first asked An Qiqingmen if he was sure to find other tasks.

An Qiqing's disciples are also members of the Xuanmen sect. They didn't want to interfere too much before, but if they don't show up this time, Yi Feng won't even make it to the third round. Then, An Qiqing, the elder's granddaughter, may use this as an excuse to withhold resources.

Now that the decision has been made, just go all the way.

"Of course there are still missions, but they are quite far away from here."

Yu Lanlan simply arranged an anchor for the mission point where Yifeng would go in advance, but the current activity range of the live broadcast village is quite wide. As long as you walk a little further, you can always find the mission, but it is more time-consuming.

The fact that Yu Lanlan could arrange such a thing alone showed her incredible strength, at least to a level that none of An Qiqing's disciples could reach.

Thinking of this, their awe of Yu Lanlan increased even more.

Unlike them, Yifeng had already associated Yu Lanlan's hatred with other things.

There was one problem he had not thought about before, that is, the second round of tasks was obviously more complicated. Even the tasks that the metaphysical master had originally thought of for him but had been snatched away by someone else would require a lot of effort.

And if he follows a few metaphysical masters, he will definitely not have to worry about advancing to the third round, but they have never discussed it at all. Doesn't that mean that all the glory will be given to these metaphysical masters?

He himself became a mere bystander? !

Thinking of this, Yifeng frowned deeply.

-

Yu Lanlan knew that with the cameras and several people from the Xuanmen around, it was not realistic for her to eliminate Yifeng immediately.

After sending the person away, she took the task card to find the client to complete the task.

She set the last mission of the second round here, firstly because this place would become one of Yifeng's target points, and secondly because she felt that this mission was destined for her.

But she hadn't specifically calculated what it was.

She soon met the client, who looked very anxious and hesitated for a moment when he saw that Yu Lanlan was alone.

"Anchor, are you taking this mission alone?"

Yu Lanlan nodded.

The client suddenly looked embarrassed.

"Logically speaking, given our family's situation, we could indeed hire just one psychologist, but three days might not be enough for just one psychologist..."

Yu Lanlan did not remind the other party that this was the last day of the second round.

"Shall I try first?"

"Okay." The client invited Yu Lanlan into the house and talked about the situation at home.

"I don't know why our family has been so unlucky lately, and several things have happened one after another."

"It started with my mother-in-law. She was usually healthy, but suddenly she started to feel unwell. She would take medicine and soon get better, but her condition would relapse. She would also keep mumbling about something, and I would refuse to go to the hospital for a checkup if asked."

"Then there's my son. I don't know if it's because he's been taken care of by his grandmother since he was young, but after his grandmother became ill, he often had nightmares while sleeping."

"Originally, it would have been fine if it were just a family issue, but my sister-in-law also had problems. The family she married into was a mess. My sister-in-law had a difficult labor when she gave birth to my niece, and the doctor said it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again. However, her in-laws are patriarchal and often mistreat my sister-in-law and her daughter just because she gave birth to a daughter."

"That family has been going even further recently. My niece has excellent grades and is always at the top of her class. She's going to take the high school entrance exam soon, but that family actually said it's useless for a girl to study. They insisted on sending her out to work as soon as she finished junior high. When my mother-in-law heard about this, she was so angry that she forced herself to go to their house to ask for an explanation despite her illness. She was scolded by that family and came back even sicker."

"We originally wanted to bring my sister-in-law and niece back home, and my husband also said he could support my niece's education, but the family won't let them go, so now the situation is very complicated."

Such situations are not uncommon in rural China. After listening to this, the audience began to angrily curse the family that the client's sister-in-law married into.

However, as Yu Lanlan listened to the client's narration, her expression became more and more subtle.

Ever since the client mentioned her mother-in-law, she developed a strange sixth sense, especially when he mentioned the patriarchal family her sister-in-law married into, and her niece who was about to be forced to interrupt her studies, she suddenly remembered something.

She turned to look at the client.

"What does your mother-in-law often mutter? Can you tell me?"

After hearing her mention this, the client had nothing to hide and answered.

"My mother-in-law is quite superstitious and usually believes in all sorts of things. After she got sick, she kept getting sick again and again. She didn't know why, but she said she used to listen to other people's gossip and thought that blocking the bride's camera would bring good luck and fortune. She tried many times, but in fact, it was the red evil spirit that brought her bad luck. Unless she asked a master to eliminate the disaster, her health would not get better. I tried to persuade her many times, saying that this was superstition, but she would not listen at all. She was very stubborn and there was nothing we could do to persuade her. I suspected that she had a mental illness."

"Oh, and she even said that my son often has nightmares because she took him to rob the Red Evil, so the child has attracted unclean things. If this isn't superstition, what is it?"
