The host was a bit lost in thought when a reminder from backstage that there was another contestant left interrupted their conversation.
"This young Du is really good. Later, you two should go and get some medicine to help you recover, it won't cost much, Auntie will pay for it."
The landlady seemed a little reluctant to leave, while the three young girls who had received free medical consultations nodded and shook their heads, saying, "No need, we can pay for the medicine ourselves."
The last contestant almost fell asleep.
"Auntie, come here, write a word."
Contestant Xiaobai took the words and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
The host interrupted, saying, "You need to see this first."
Xiao Bai couldn't help but frown, thinking, "If he doesn't even ask what's wrong, how is he supposed to calculate it? That's not how my master taught me! The process is broken, what am I going to do?"
Xiao Bai tried hard to recall the key points his master had mentioned.
Xiao Bai is an enthusiast interested in metaphysics. His family is not short of money. After graduation, he immediately moved into the dojo. He finally found a master who was willing to take him on as an apprentice and learned some basics.
He's also a loyal fan of Feiyang Entertainment. Whenever he sees a variety show that matches his major, he rushes to participate. He secretly asked for leave without telling his master and fellow apprentices, saying that his family had arranged a blind date for him, and then went down the mountain. Of course, he told his family that he was still practicing asceticism on the mountain.
During the preliminary selection, we finally found the box, but the person next to us accused us of finding it. So, we submitted it together.
Because the host simply wouldn't cooperate by writing a single word, his spellcasting process was interrupted, and unsurprisingly, he failed to guess what was inside the box.
He thought he was eliminated in the first round, but the netizens' eyes were right; his votes just barely made it in.
The newbie's senior classmates in front of the screen said, "This kid, we always tell him to study properly, but he never takes it seriously. Look at him standing there doing what!"
"Keep your voice down, don't let your master hear you."
"Did this kid not introduce himself? That's so embarrassing, how is he going to get any work now?!"
The others remained silent for a while, then one of the senior students said, "During the preliminary selection, I think I heard this kid introduce himself."
"Wait until that kid comes back, hmph."
The men clenched their fists; this was tantamount to throwing away their livelihoods.
Xiao Bai started calculating haphazardly, "Auntie, are you looking for a job?"
The three tenants standing nearby couldn't help but laugh.
[Haha, finding a job for the landlady? Great job! You're the one! (thumbs up emoji)]
[This kid is hilarious. Even during the auditions, he was talking to the host, and the host just wouldn't write a single word.]
[What school or sect does this kid belong to? Compared to the one who mentioned the murder case earlier, he seems to have some skill, but not much.]
[The person upstairs is really heartless, asking about sects. I bet their master would love to kick the newbie out of the sect overnight, hahaha.]
[I know a little bit about this; his calculation process was completely wrong, but the final result was somewhat related to his work.]
That's really great, it's just that this person has a bit of a comedic side.
Xiao Bai noticed the people next to him snickering and realized he had asked the wrong person. "Oh, you guys are looking for jobs, aren't you?"
"I think you should be able to get married by the end of the year, and have a baby next year..."
The smile of Jia Yi, the first tenant mentioned, instantly froze.
The other two tenants laughed even louder, "You're getting married, hahaha."
"You just got married!"
"It's you! It's you! Hahaha!"
Xiao Bai felt completely confused again. Wasn't marriage a good thing?
Jia Yi put on a serious face, no longer giggling, "You're asking about work, little master. Besides, I don't even have a boyfriend yet, where am I going to get married at the end of the year?!"
Although his fellow apprentices had taught him many times that fortune tellers believe in not changing one's mind once it's spoken, even if the prediction is wrong, one must still say so, and if there are any changes, one must never admit that one was wrong.
However, Xiaobai was taught from a young age to admit his mistakes and correct them. Even if he calculated correctly, he would doubt it if the other party questioned it, and then recalculate it.
"Excuse me, let me recalculate. Please write another character."
Xiao Bai's attitude made Jia Yi's expression soften a bit. She finally understood how the landlady felt after the previous people complained about the house.
It is true that one should not suffer in the same way as others, nor should one advise others to do good.
She had been comforting her aunt earlier, but now the aunt was comforting her instead.
And what's with this young monk in front of her? He looks about the same age as her. Does he live deep in the mountains? Don't you know that since a certain TV series aired, getting married has become a way to belittle a girl for being incompetent?
Fortunately, the young chef was nice, and Jia Yi's complexion improved considerably.
Xiao Bai was a little confused. How did he end up predicting the other person's marriage prospects again?! He had clearly calculated it based on their work, so how did it become about marriage?!
Although his calculations weren't as accurate as his seniors', he'd never encountered such a major mishap before.
Jia Yi watched as he remained silent for a long time, glancing at her every now and then before looking away and lowering his head. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her career was going badly?
The two girls standing nearby stopped laughing.
The landlady couldn't take it anymore. "Young man, just say what you want to say. You're just sitting here silently, it's torture."
"Then you can't get angry when I tell you."
Jia Yi nodded. "Don't worry, just tell me."
You know about the Red Phoenix Star, right?
"Hmm, so what? What does this have to do with my job?"
"It's alright, it's just that your love star is about to shine."
Xiao Bai couldn't help but cover her head, "You promised you wouldn't get angry, you can't hit me!"
