Chapter 1023 It’s About You
If there were only one or two, that would be fine, but when hundreds or thousands of them suddenly appear, it feels quite strange.
[Help! Entering Ye Wanxi's comment section feels like stumbling into an insurance sales pitch.]
[You're not alone upstairs! I knew this felt so familiar, like I'd seen it somewhere before. Now that you've pointed it out, it really reminds me of that auntie at the market next door bragging.]
So, is it all just hype? Or is it really that amazing? If it's really that amazing, I... am tempted to buy it.
No, no, no, this is all a scam. Don't forget that celebrity fans have a biased view of them; who knows how thick this bias is to make them exaggerate like this? If you're not a fan, it's best not to buy it. Didn't you see the screenshot that said "No refunds after sale"? Don't regret it later.
Some passersby who were initially interested immediately suppressed their impulses upon seeing these words.
Ye Wanxi's fans suddenly realized that they had been saved by the amulet and shared their real experiences online, which was fine. However, this praise turned people who were not originally her fans into potential competitors, which was not good!
There weren't many amulets to begin with, and there weren't enough for the fans, so how could there be any left for outsiders to snatch?
Having figured this out, the group decisively shifted their sharing of secrets to their fan group, and, in an attempt to cover up their misunderstanding, echoed those comments that questioned the veracity of their claims.
[That's right, that's right, it's all due to fan bias; it's not that magical.]
It's just a coincidence; it's not surprising at all that a few out of tens of millions of people would produce such a person.
[Yes, yes, it's all a scam, let the fans pay for it. Non-fans should definitely not fall for it.]
At first, when people saw these comments, they thought that Ye Wanxi's haters and even some paid trolls had come running again.
Unexpectedly, upon clicking in, I discovered that the owners of these accounts seemed to be true fans of Ye Wanxi, and some of them were even well-known big fans in the fan group.
The real haters and paid trolls: "???" What's going on? Are you trying to steal our jobs?
Bystanders: "..." Why does this sound so sarcastic? So, are these things true or just hype?
Whether Ye Wanxi's amulet is truly that magical is something no one dares to speculate on, except for those who have actually experienced it.
Good things should be kept hidden, otherwise they might get stolen. Anyone with a modicum of common sense understands this.
Especially during these extraordinary times, having such a peace charm is like having an extra layer of security. It's easy to imagine how many people would flock to it if this were publicized.
"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." When interests involve individuals, what they need to guard against may no longer be limited to mutated plants and animals, but also to people who are similar to them.
Ye Wanxi was unaware of the little incident that happened online. After sending out the message, she stayed at home writing amulets for good luck.
I had just finished writing the fan benefits when I received a call from Xiao Jihui.
"What's the problem now that can't be solved?"
Xiao Jihui was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said with some resentment, "Can't you hope for something better?"
Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. It wasn't?
"What kind of important matter requires Vice Minister Xiao to personally call me?"
Xiao Jihui: "..." I suspect you're mocking me, but I have no proof!
"It's something that concerns you. Although Mr. Feng asked me to keep it a secret, I think I should perhaps inform you."
Ye Wanxi's expression changed slightly upon hearing his words: "My senior brother asked you to keep this a secret? What exactly happened?"
"That's right. Didn't you discover an ancient emperor's tomb behind the funeral home? That tomb was later excavated and it was indeed the mausoleum of an ancient emperor."
Ye Wanxi frowned. She remembered this imperial tomb. She was quite surprised when she saw it because she could vaguely see a trace of imperial dragon aura in the mausoleum.
In ancient times, people believed that the emperor was the Son of Heaven, a dragon, and possessed the aura of a dragon. This was actually a huge misunderstanding.
In fact, not every emperor possesses the aura of a dragon. Only emperors who truly benefit the country and its people, implement measures that have lasting merit during their reign, and genuinely benefit future generations are able to possess the aura of a dragon.
Since the imperial tomb could be seen to contain dragon energy, it means that the tomb owner was an exceptionally powerful and successful wise ruler in his lifetime.
The tombs of such people need to be properly protected, otherwise they may bring disaster.
"What's wrong with that grave?" Ye Wanxi asked, then seemed to remember something and frowned. "You just said it's related to me? How could this grave be related to me? I just happened to go to that funeral home that day, and then I just happened to..." and discovered it.
"To be honest, this is quite surprising. After the tomb was discovered, as soon as they heard it was an unexcavated imperial tomb, the authorities immediately dispatched many archaeological experts. Several senior figures in the archaeological field even bought plane tickets to fly over after hearing the news. It took them about half a month to finally find the entrance to the tomb chamber, and only after opening it did they discover that the tomb had been robbed."
"Theft?" Ye Wanxi's expression darkened slightly. "Tomb raiders?"
"Yes, a group of tomb raiders entered this tomb ten years ago. Strangely, not long after the official announcement of the tomb, someone reported to the police and surrendered, claiming that he had entered the tomb before."
Ye Wanxi remained silent, sensing that something was amiss.
Sure enough, Xiao Jihui continued, "Isn't it strange? People in this line of work rarely self-destruct unless they get caught smuggling antiques from tombs."
Ye Wanxi was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Why did he do that?"
“At first we were also confused until we saw him in person. According to the information on his ID card, he is not yet fifty years old, but he looks like an old man in his seventies or eighties who is about to die. Ten years ago, before he was buried in this tomb, he looked like he was in his early thirties and was in very good health. In other words, in just ten years, he has aged thirty or forty years.”
Ye Wanxi frowned and pondered. Could it be that the remaining dragon energy of the tomb owner had taken effect, causing the disaster to fall on this tomb robber and making him suffer the consequences of his own actions?
"Did he explain what happened? Was it mental anguish, or did he suddenly fall seriously ill and his health collapse? Besides him, what happened to his companions who went with him after they left the tomb?"
"No accomplices."
"What?"
"He was the only one who escaped alive; the rest of his accomplices..."
Ye Wanxi's heart skipped a beat, and she tentatively asked, "They all died inside?"
Xiao Jihui remained silent for a long while, and finally responded in a low voice, "Mm."
