Chapter 14, Third Match
For a moment, Hong Shao Rou was truly at a loss.
She was both surprised and skeptical. "The internet only came online in the last millennium, how did you know?"
"The 'traveling horse' bone is prominent, with visible blue veins but no signs of illness. Ancient texts say, 'Blue veins concealing the traveling horse, a thousand miles away from home.' The earlobes are clearly separated from the face, and ears resembling sails indicate a departure from home. The blood on the cheeks flows in a thread-like pattern towards the ears, this is the 'Red Clouds and Galloping Horse.' In reality, my true plan is to study abroad."
As Lu Yao gazed at the braised pork's face, a picture slowly unfolded in her mind:
In a future scenario, Braised Pork is surrounded by a group of blond-haired, blue-eyed, dark-skinned, curly-haired foreigners.
They sat around a conference table laden with various sophisticated instruments and documents, engaging in a heated discussion, seemingly conducting extremely important research.
The braised pork's eyes widened, its mouth slightly open, but it couldn't utter a word for a long time.
The reason she didn't take the postgraduate entrance exam was because she had already received an admission letter from a foreign university.
From childhood to adulthood, she has been immersed in the world of science, and she scoffs at all supernatural phenomena and metaphysical theories, believing them to be nothing more than products of feudal superstition.
However, everything that happened today forced her to re-examine her own perceptions.
Even a materialist's heart can't help but waver when faced with braised pork.
She is not the kind of person who is stubborn.
She was truly impressed by the ability of someone who had just connected to the internet in the millennium.
This face-reading technique, which only got internet access in the last thousand years, is really quite amazing!
Perhaps metaphysics isn't entirely a deceptive trick.
The things left behind by our ancestors naturally have their own mysteries.
Hongshaorou (a nickname) has already started thinking about borrowing some books on face reading from the library.
The expressions on netizens' faces when they saw the braised pork belly made them pretty much understand the truth, and the crowd was in an uproar.
Braised Pork opened its mouth and slowly announced, "Qianniangang's words were spot on. I have to admit, she won this round!"
Her voice was filled with helplessness, yet also a hint of admiration.
The comments section was flooded with praise and admiration for Lu Yao.
This isn't fortune telling, it's mind reading Pro Max!
[My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the live stream!]
[I feel that Qianniangang is much more reliable than Xuancheng; Xuancheng only knows how to trick people into buying talismans.]
Lu Yao remained composed and smiled confidently, "Thank you everyone."
Just as Hongshaorou was about to leave the live stream, Lu Yao called out to her.
She kindly reminded him: "Young friend, there is a faint bluish-black stagnation in your life gate, and the blood on your nose is dark red with spots, which means that the red pearl has fallen into the wealth storehouse. You may be at risk of losing money in the near future."
Upon hearing this, Hongshaorou's relaxed expression instantly tensed up.
She quickly asked, "Is there any way to resolve this?"
Lu Yao replied, "Pay attention to your parents' movements and be wary of people with moles on the tip of their noses."
"good!"
The braised pork nodded solemnly, even carefully writing down the sentence.
After the braised pork left the game, Lu Yao politely asked Daoist Xuancheng, "Shall we continue?"
Having lost another match, Xuancheng Daoist looked like a defeated rooster, his face ashen and humiliated.
But he inadvertently glanced at the number of viewers in the live stream.
His pupils dilated instantly, and he was completely stunned.
Thirty thousand people!
The number of people continues to rise.
At this moment, the audience also keenly sensed that Hyun Sung wanted to back out.
Being repeatedly proven wrong must be a bitter pill to swallow.
In order to keep watching the show, some people started sending virtual gifts, both big and small.
[Xuancheng, stop dawdling! Come on, let's have another round. I keep my word, I'll send you a big rocket if we do!]
【Yeah, let's play three rounds! Xuancheng, don't worry, I definitely won't laugh at you. I'll just admire you for being a newbie online for so long!】
The comments section was filled with mockery of Xuan Cheng; no one believed he was the real Celestial Master anymore.
Now that things have come to this, he knows in his heart that he is indeed inferior in skill, and it is difficult to cover it up anymore.
But he just couldn't swallow his anger.
He refused to believe that this greenhorn girl, who had only just started using the internet a thousand years ago, could be a real celestial master.
Xuan Cheng thought to himself: Hmph, I don't believe she can always guess right like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse!
This time, we have to give her a real challenge to expose her true colors!
Xuan Cheng had a sudden flash of inspiration and remembered a major news story he had seen today.
His face instantly changed to a righteous and awe-inspiring expression. He straightened his back and said righteously, "I am willing to admit defeat in terms of Fellow Daoist Xuan Jin's strength!"
As he spoke, he feigned a gesture of respect, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"Everyone must have heard the saying, 'With great power comes great responsibility.' Since Fellow Daoist Xuan Jin has such abilities, he must be willing to maintain the peace and security of our Liguang City, right?"
Master Xuancheng deliberately dragged out his words, "I'm sure everyone has seen today's headlines. The serial killer who has kept us, the citizens of Liguang, in fear and anxiety for three whole years has committed another crime yesterday!"
His voice suddenly rose, and a look of horror appeared on his face. "Three innocent souls have already perished under his blade, and this is the third child he has killed! What's even more terrifying is that this murderer is still at large, and there's not a single clue to his crimes!"
Xuan Cheng's words were like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar in the live broadcast room.
[I also saw the news about the Koi Kō serial murder case this morning; it scared me to death, and I won't be able to sleep tonight.]
[Wow, I'm also from Liguang, the same hometown as Xuancheng! This case has really kept us on edge for a long time. Families with boys are afraid to let their children out of their sight for even a minute.]
[Xuancheng really does have a strong sense of social responsibility; you can't really criticize him for that.]
Even netizens who were just mocking Xuancheng couldn't help but express their approval of his "righteous act".
Seeing that his words had successfully resonated with everyone, Master Xuancheng was secretly pleased.
But his face still wore a worried expression as he continued:
“Fellow Daoist Xuanjin, look at this case. The police have spent a lot of manpower and resources, but they still have no clue. Since you have such profound metaphysical abilities, you should be able to use them in this area as well. Help us find out the whereabouts of this criminal so that the police can catch this vicious murderer as soon as possible and save the citizens of Liguang City from this disaster.”
He changed the subject, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Or is it that your so-called physiognomy skills are only good for showing off in these trivial matters, and you don't dare to show your face when it comes to truly important issues concerning people's livelihoods? Judging from your performance just now, I thought you were really capable. Could it all be an act to fool everyone?"
