Chapter 20 The Fake Taoist's House Collapses
The corners of Xu Weiwei's mouth twitched.
No one else dared to respond, and the atmosphere at the scene reached freezing point.
Variety show star Zhao Xin made a timely move to smooth things over: "Director, what are we going to do next?"
Luo Yan picked up the microphone.
"Welcome everyone to the first live broadcast of 'The Truth.' Our six guests have assembled. Next, let's head to the mission location together."
The seven people dragged their luggage into a tree-lined avenue, at the end of which was an ancient Chinese-style house.
From the outside, the house has a sense of history.
But after the director team cleaned it in advance, there is no dust and the former elegance can still be seen.
"The house in front of you was built by a wealthy businessman in the last century. It's said that at night, eerie and mournful cries are often heard, and even the television turns on for no apparent reason."
"The cleaning staff who came a few days ago also encountered this phenomenon."
Before coming, the guests only received a simple program schedule, and when they suddenly heard this story, they were relieved.
"In short, after changing hands several times, the house has been vacant here."
"Last month, four children from a nearby village suddenly disappeared. When their parents found them, they were all unconscious and lying neatly outside the gate."
As Luo Yan was speaking, a gust of wind blew over and Qiao Jiatong suddenly felt a little cold, but seeing everyone's normal expressions, she thought she was just scared and bit her lip.
At this moment, Chen Xu suddenly reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
The force was very light, but Qiao Jiatong felt that the biting coldness disappeared instantly.
It was as if everything that happened just now was just her illusion.
She looked up at Chen Xu in surprise.
Not many people noticed the interaction between the two, as everyone was attracted by Luo Yan's story.
Tang Yi asked nervously, "Director, what happened to those children?"
Luo Yan: "Thankfully, they received prompt treatment and nothing serious happened. However, the residents nearby are feeling very worried after this incident."
He paused, "Okay, I've told you everything I know. As for the truth behind this, it's up to you all to find out."
"The recording will take three days and two nights. If you find the truth within the allotted time, you'll be considered a successful challenge and the program team will give you a reward."
I know the answer to this question. The crying sound is caused by the friction between leaves. The child lost track of time and fell asleep on the roadside because he was too busy playing.
[This routine is familiar. ]
[Haha, you guys have already written the script, what are you teachers going to act out? ]
[But, the director team wouldn't make up a story to make fun of children, right?]
[Don’t you think this house looks unpleasant? ]
[Chen Xu's expression also became somewhat solemn. Could it be...?]
"Master Shen, have you figured anything out? Can you share your insights with everyone?"
Xu Weiwei spoke weakly, with a barely perceptible calculation in her eyes.
She participated in this variety show just to take advantage of Jiang Yu's popularity, but now her plan has failed before it even began.
She couldn't do anything to Jiang Yu, so she blamed all the problems on Chen Xu.
She didn't believe that Chen Xu knew any metaphysics at all, she was just finding a new way to enter the circle and establish her own persona.
Okay, since she likes to create her own character, I will help her!
Let her play this character to the end "well".
Sensing Xu Weiwei's malicious intent, Chen Xu raised her eyes and stared at her for a few seconds. She did not answer her question, but said, "If I were you, I would quit this show right now."
Xu Weiwei was obviously stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Chen Xu's tone was cold: "Don't you know what you have done?"
After two consecutive sentences, no matter how slow-witted everyone is, they will be able to understand something.
Their eyes all fell on Xu Weiwei.
"Did I...do something to make Master Shen angry?"
Xu Weiwei showed a bewildered expression, then pleaded sadly, "If that's the case, I can apologize. Master Shen, I really like this show. Please don't kick me out, okay?"
As he spoke, he was about to cry.
Her fans were furious at her compromising attitude.
[Is Chen Xu sick? ]
[She's overdoing it! What right does she have to ask the guests to withdraw?]
[Could it be that the fake master is jealous that our Weiwei is prettier than her and wants to kick Weiwei out?]
[It's okay to just establish a character, but using chicken feathers as a token of authority is really disgusting.]
[Weiwei is just too respectable. I feel bad for her.]
[Fuck, everyone, check Weibo! Chen Xu, that bitch, has been exposed.]
[What a terrible person! How did the production team choose this person?]
Suddenly, several similar comments popped up in the live broadcast room. There was melon, so how could the spectators not eat it? They immediately opened Weibo.
An entry #沉墟恶毒假倩倩# came into everyone's sight.
Chen Xu's origins have been thoroughly uncovered.
It turned out that this Taoist priest with a divine face was actually a fake daughter who had usurped the throne.
She was adopted by the wealthy Shen family when she was young, enjoyed all the Shen family's resources, and was carefully trained. However, she turned out to be as stupid as a pig, accomplished nothing, and even engaged in metaphysics to deceive people.
What's even more outrageous is that after the real daughter was found, the kind-hearted people didn't mind the existence of Chen Xu, the fake daughter. As a result, Chen Xu, out of jealousy, ruined the real daughter's birthday party in the name of fortune-telling.
She also slandered and cursed the Shen family who raised her, causing her adoptive parents to be sent to the hospital many times.
After seeing all this, netizens were shocked.
【You really can’t judge a person by his appearance.】
[It's fine if he's a fake Taoist priest, but he actually uses metaphysics to harm people? ]
[Everyone, go watch the live broadcast! The fake Taoist priest just used his old tricks again to kick Weiwei out.]
[Fuck! This is so vicious. With such a character, she still wants to become a star. She has no shame, bah!]
【Carry it away, carry it away! 】
[Resist Shenxu, and resist the metaphysical pests that enter the circle and harm others! ]
[Who is behind Chen Xu? How could someone like this be brought into the entertainment industry?]
…
The insults spread all the way from Weibo to the live broadcast room.
The assistant director was dumbfounded.
What happened? The guest already lost his temper within five minutes of the show starting?
How can this show continue to be broadcast?
Luo Yan was very happy.
There was still time to comfort him: "Calm down, calm down, look at the traffic now, our show is a hit."
The assistant director was about to cry: "But because of Shen Xu, everyone now says our show is scripted."
What’s even more terrifying is that they do!
The mystery was revealed as soon as the show started, so what's the point of continuing the show?
Luo Yan: "Don't worry, let's finish recording this episode first."
Just based on the sparks between Xu Weiwei and Shen Xu, the show is sure to be interesting.
