Chapter 255 Living as a Shadow



Because Shi Miao and Ji Jingyao were about to participate, their recording location was revealed, and a swarm of fans and media surrounded it. Nearby hotels were raking in the cash, renting out immediately and increasing their rents by more than tenfold.

Other masters of metaphysics rushed over after hearing the news, but they couldn’t even book a hotel or B&B even if they paid.

Fortunately, when Shi Miao discovered that there was a gap in Shucheng, he bought a building nearby. Now they are just placed in it.

Shi Miao officially started recording the program on November 2nd.

The initial list has been released, totaling over forty people. The most eye-catching candidate is Lin Muxi, an idol who just debuted this year.

Lin Muxi is also the most famous of the forty-six. Six months ago, in a talent show, she debuted in third place, despite her stunning looks and explosive stage presence. The two contestants above her were both known to have connections and resources. Because of this, Lin Muxi's fans are incredibly devoted to her. Within the group, her loyal fans are the most resilient.

Before this summer's World-Class Magic Fighting Tournament, Lin Muxi, following Shi Miao and Cheng Zhiming's lead, began fortune-telling online. While her readings weren't as precise and detailed as Shi Miao and Cheng Zhiming's, they were still able to predict some near-term disasters. Because of this, her popularity has skyrocketed in recent months. After the guest list for this variety show was announced, Lin Muxi gained a million followers in three days. Her fans, like it was Chinese New Year, were sharing and participating in the lucky draw.

However, because Lin Muxi has only been an idol for half a year, her fans don't dare to dream of being chosen by Shi Miao as his disciple. It would be great if she could attract more new fans and get more resources on the show.

Of course, there were also some haters who disliked Lin Muxi and said that this was just the initial list, and who knew if they would be eliminated before the official recording. If they opened the champagne now, they wouldn't be afraid of being embarrassed if they were eliminated.

The production team also sent the list to Shi Miao for him to review. If there were any unsuitable candidates, they could be kicked out as soon as possible.

Shi Miao flipped through the list and found that most of the people who signed up after she announced her participation in the program did not have any fatal character problems.

Lin Muxi’s personal information is placed at the end.

Shi Miao's calm gaze fell on Lin Muxi's photo. Unlike other guests, Lin Muxi's fate in the photo seemed to be obscured by an invisible white mist.

Considering that the other party had suddenly mastered fortune-telling without a mentor, Shi Miao had already grasped some truth.

She likely possessed fragments of the Hetu Luoshu. After all, it was a legendary artifact; even if it were only fragments, mastering it could reveal a portion of fate. However, for a common person with no prior training, being able to wield the Hetu Luoshu indicated considerable talent in this area. With such talent, she wouldn't need to be an idol. She'd be chosen as an inner disciple at any sect.

But the other party came to participate in this show...

Zuo Baozhu had been studying with Shi Miao in the villa these days. Seeing Shi Miao's eyes fall on Lin Muxi, she couldn't help but ask, "Master, is there something wrong with her?"

Shi Miao asked back: "How much do you know about it?"

The fact that she was able to obtain the fragment of the River Map and Luo Shu indicated that she had a connection with it. Shi Miao himself had no intention of competing for it.

To her, things like the River Map and the Luoshu were just external objects. They might temporarily increase her strength, but the most important thing was her own strength.

Zuo Baozhu said: "I have met her several times. She is very confident and proud on stage. But off stage, she is much shy and doesn't like to talk much."

She had followed the talent show at the time, but she had only picked the fifth most popular contestant. Because she had followed it before, Zuo Baozhu knew all the members of the group like the back of her hand, and even shared the video she had taken of the finals with Shi Miao.

Shi Miao's originally nonchalant expression was stunned when he saw the energetic girl in the video.

“How many videos of her do you have?”

Zuo Baozhu hadn't expected her master to be truly interested in Lin Muxi, and she quickly began searching through her phone. Her family background was there, so if she wanted any seats in the first three rows of concerts and competitions, she could get them. Plus, with the right filming equipment, she'd managed to capture quite a few high-definition videos during the past few shows.

After watching the three videos, Shi Miao said with certainty, "The Lin Muxi on the stage and the Lin Muxi who signed up for Eyes of Hope are not the same person."

"They must be twins. One of them even deliberately made himself look exactly like the other."

Lin Muxi on the stage did not have any fragments of the River Map and Luo Shu on her body, so her fate was clearly visible to Shi Miao.

Her parents divorced when she was young, and her custody was transferred to her father. After her father's death, she lived with her mother again. In her sophomore year, Lin Muxi signed up for a talent show and debuted in third place.

Her sister should be the one who possesses the fragments of the River Map and Luo Shu.

Zuo Baozhu was surprised. "But Lin Muxi's sister passed away two years ago. She even cried when she mentioned her sister during the talent show. She said that she participated in the talent show because she loved the feeling of being on stage and to fulfill her deceased sister's wish."

When saying this, Lin Muxi couldn't help crying on the stage, and it became a hot topic at the time, which attracted a group of fans who loved her.

Shi Miao called his cousin Wen Xiuyan and asked him to help check some things about Lin Muxi's sister. After Wen Xiuyan returned to China, his uncle gradually handed over some family affairs to him.

It was a rare occasion for Shi Miao to ask him for help, so Wen Xiuyan was very enthusiastic and enthusiastic, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
