Chapter 121 Who will compete?
"Now, please welcome volunteer number 8, Deng Tiezhu."
After the host finished speaking, volunteer No. 8 Deng Tiezhu came to the host's side with staggering steps.
The host smiled and asked Deng Tiezhu: "It's finally your turn. Are you nervous?"
Deng Tiezhu, with a numb expression, shook his head after a while, but the movement was so small that it was almost invisible.
He didn't look at anyone, his eyes were scattered and he didn't know where to look.
The host did not continue to talk to him, but looked at the audience: "The number of players who will read the fortune for volunteer No. 8 is the smallest in the entire competition, with only four players. But these four players are extraordinary, and they are all potential champions. Two of them come from famous families and have been taught by famous teachers since childhood. They have become famous at a young age and are the new generation of Xuanmen. They are Zhou Chuanyi, the direct disciple of Master Gu Beitong, and Lin Zhiya, the biological daughter of Master Lin Deyu. Although the other two are not from famous families, they also achieved excellent results in the preliminary rounds. They are Chang Chunning, who ranked first in the preliminary round points, and Lin Zhixian, who ranked second."
"These four players are all very capable, and they all chose Volunteer No. 8. Is there something about Volunteer No. 8 that attracts them?"
"Now, please welcome Zhou Chuanyi, Lin Zhiya, Chang Chunning, and Lin Zhixian to the stage."
The host put Zhou Chuanyi and Lin Zhiya in front of Chang Chunning and Lin Zhixian, apparently because of the two masters behind them. It seems that even in such a competition, snobbery is inevitable.
Fortunately, Chang Chunning and Lin Zhixian didn't care about this. They quickly stood up, exchanged a glance with Zhou Chuanyi and Lin Zhiya, and the four of them walked onto the field at the same time.
Lin Zhixian and the others originally wanted to go directly to the blackboard like the previous groups, but they were stopped by the host and asked to come to his side.
The four of them looked at each other and walked away.
"Brother Long." Lin Zhixian and three others greeted the host.
Because the host's name is Liang Long, everyone calls him Brother Long.
"I'd like to ask, why did you four choose volunteer No. 8 as your measurement object? Did you discuss this beforehand?" The host looked at Lin Zhixian and the other three with a smile, and finally handed the microphone to Lin Zhixian, obviously wanting Lin Zhixian to tell him about the bet between her and Lin Zhiya.
Lin Zhixian was never afraid of offending Lin Deyu, let alone Lin Zhiya, so he took the microphone and said, "I chose number 8 because he has so many stories, which is very challenging for me. And there is another one -"
Lin Zhixian turned to look at Lin Zhiya, and smiled in Lin Zhiya's cold gaze: "Another thing, Lin Zhiya felt that my performance in the preliminary round was not worthy of the reputation, so she challenged me and said that this competition would be a bet, and the loser would sincerely say to the winner that he was not as good as the winner. I couldn't refuse, so I had to agree."
"Really, Ms. Lin Zhiya?" The host immediately pointed the finger at Lin Zhiya.
Lin Zhiya gritted her teeth secretly and forced a smile on her face: "Lin Zhixian, you must be joking. In the preliminary round, there were 4,000 people, and Lin Zhixian was able to get the second place in points. It shows that she is very capable. How dare I say that she is unworthy of the reputation? It's just that I am excited to see the prey, and I want to compete with her to see who is better."
"What about you, Zhou Chuanyi and Chang Chunning? Why did you participate in the bet together?" The host looked at Chang Chunning and Zhou Chuanyi.
Zhou Chuanyi made no secret of it: "I heard that Chang Chunning and Lin Zhixian performed very well in the preliminary round, so I wanted to test their abilities."
Chang Chunning said, "I once had the honor of seeing Junior Sister Lin Zhixian tell fortunes for people. Her skills were truly miraculous and I admired her immensely. Today is a rare opportunity, and I would like to learn from Junior Sister Lin Zhixian and make progress together."
Because Lin Zhixian and Lin Zhiya both have the surname Lin, in order to distinguish the two sisters, Chang Chunning calls Lin Zhixian by her full name.
The host became interested after hearing this and looked at Chang Chunning: "Did you see Lin Zhixian fortune-telling in private?"
"Yes." Chang Chunning nodded.
"According to what you said, Lin Zhixian must be very accurate in his calculations." The host asked, "Can you tell us more about it?"
Chang Chunning looked at Lin Zhixian. Lin Zhixian would certainly not miss such an opportunity to promote himself. He took the microphone and said, "I wonder if you have read the newspapers in the past two days?"
"What does this have to do with the newspaper?" the host asked, "Could it be that the fortune you told was published in the newspaper?"
Lin Zhixian smiled and said, "The case of Tan Jiazi murdering his stepmother reported in the newspapers these past two days was actually originally calculated by me."
Lin Zhiya sneered: "Lin Zhixian, do you want to tell everyone that you are already powerful enough to help the police investigate the case and catch the real culprit?"
Chang Chunning said, "It was not Junior Sister Lin Zhixian who found out about this case, but it was Junior Sister Lin Zhixian who provided important clues."
Lin Zhixian nodded and said, "Ms. Liang, a high school classmate of the murderer Tan Yaohua, was my guest. I met her unexpectedly in a restaurant on the night of the preliminary round. She asked me to tell her fortune because she felt that she was being followed recently. I told her that she would have a bloody disaster. If she couldn't resolve it, she would lose her life. So we secretly called the police and finally caught Tan Yaohua who was following her. I found out from Tan Yaohua's face that he had at least three lives, and one of them was not related to him by blood but was a relative. I told the police about my discovery, and the police determined through investigation that the deceased was Tan Yaohua's stepmother."
There was an uproar on and off the stage.
"So your physiognomy skills are really amazing. They even helped the police catch a murderer," asked the host.
Lin Zhixian smiled modestly: "I just told the police what I saw. They were able to uncover this murder case, catch the real murderer, and redress the deceased. It all depends on the police's excellent investigation."
Lin Zhixian wants to be famous, but he doesn't want to offend the police.
"No matter what, Lin Zhixian, you are already amazing for being able to do this. It seems that you should have a good chance of winning this round of competition." The host looked at Zhou Chuanyi and the other two and asked, "Do you feel the pressure now?"
Chang Chunning shook his head: "Just do your best."
Zhou Chuanyi was even more excited: "It's beyond my expectation that Lin Zhixian is so good, but it's precisely because she is so good that I'm even more excited. I believe I won't lose to her."
Lin Zhiya's heart was already chilled, but she obviously would not show any fear at this moment.
"Whether it's a man or a god, we'll know once we uncover the answer," Lin Zhiya pretended to be confident.
"Okay." The host said, "It seems that the four contestants are very confident in themselves. In this case, let's see whether Lin Zhixian will take the lead or Zhou Chuanyi and others will take the lead."
"Please go back to your own blackboards," the host said. "Let's start by revealing the answers one by one. Let's reveal the first item, the personal information of volunteer No. 8."
