Chapter 700 - 698: The Family’s Charlatan (Part 23)
It’s really disappointing.
Such rudeness is a bit annoying, many viewers think so.
[The witch now seems like a villain.]
[No matter what, the Wen Family provides everything for free, it’s a bit rude for her to act this way.]
[But this is her divination result, isn’t it?]
[The witch speaks a bit too directly.]
[But she’s quite bold, even if it’s a divination result, being this direct will definitely get criticized.]
Wen Song didn’t speak, Deborah just kept staring at him.
After about a minute, Wen Song finally spoke: "Perhaps Miss Deborah has confidence in her divination result, but I believe more in the words Shi Yang left me. Many might think she was just comforting me, to make me keep living, but I don’t think so. Shi Yang wouldn’t lie to me."
He stopped talking after this and left, everyone could see his back looked somewhat abject.
This scene made countless viewers feel sympathetic.
Deborah fixed her gaze on Wen Song’s disappearing back, with no intention to chase and further inquire, her eyes still mocking and without a trace of sympathy.
The initial calculation results were out, next was free activity time for everyone. They could visit where Shi Yang lived before her death, or go elsewhere, but the entire process would be live-streamed.
"Are we going to check out where Shi Yang lived?" Luo Yun asked, she couldn’t help but look at Deborah several times, the conversation earlier was really charged with tension.
"Let’s go." Deborah replied first, seemingly indifferent about the previous minor conflict.
Ah Chen naturally had no opinion, now she was very curious about Deborah.
The other seemed to know a lot, does she have something to do with Shi Yang? Or is it really as...?
At the place where Shi Yang lived before her death, only two people could enter at a time. After a few of them went over, they waited in the living room downstairs and started discussing.
Ah Chen noticed that the middle-aged man named Zhou Shan chose to sit not far from her, secretly observing her situation, probably because of previous events that caught his attention.
She glanced up, Zhou Shan quickly gave a polite and courteous, even somewhat respectful smile.
To speak of Zhou Shan, he shared a suite with Fu Yingshu, who was also nearby.
Lin Xixi went back to rest and couldn’t come here to visit, given the previous situation, she couldn’t come out today, let alone participate in energy-consuming calculations.
Seeing that Ah Chen didn’t seem angry, Zhou Shan unwittingly moved closer and soon joined Ah Chen’s small group, chatting away.
"I’m just a loose cultivator, not really skilled in divination, that’s why I only passed the basic test, consider it luck." Zhou Shan said, "I can read some birth dates, but trying to find someone’s reincarnation after they’ve been gone for many years is too difficult for me, practically no confidence. From Miss Shi’s previous birth date, at most I could deduce that she indeed had reincarnated."
Luo Yun was shocked, seeing Zhou Shan with the demeanor of an expert and originally thought he was a world-class master.
Of course, even with Zhou Shan’s humility, Luo Yun wouldn’t believe he had no skills. After all, she couldn’t even divine whether Shi Yang had reincarnated.
"Don’t look at me as just a loose cultivator, I have some skills, I’ve always wanted to join a proper Taoist sect but seem to lack some fate." Zhou Shan’s expression showed a bit of bitterness, he didn’t mention how this nearly cost him his life.
"Now of old age, famous orthodox sects generally wouldn’t accept someone of my age. Even if they did, I wouldn’t be considered core, wouldn’t be nurtured. With restrictions but no true skills learned, it’s not worth it, so I’ve been wandering outside like this."
In the words, there’s no shortage of the bitterness of seeking a path.
Ge Yu nodded gently, agreeing with Zhou Shan: "Generally, core disciples are nurtured from a young age, it’s rare to wholeheartedly nurture a mid-way disciple, and it requires a lot of fate."
His White Mountain Sect is the same, the risk of mid-way disciples is too great, who wants to pass down their core mystical skills to someone who came in mid-way? What if they have other motives? Unless the talent is good and there’s fate.
Zhou Shan nodded, showing understanding.
If he had the ability to take disciples, he would also prefer children, nurturing them from a young age, knowing them inside out, basically like being their father.
If a half-hundred-year-old came mid-way, he wouldn’t accept either.
Thinking of this, his eyes showed dimness, fearing his lifetime’s opportunities were used up at the start.
As they talked, everyone exchanged contact information with Zhou Shan, getting quite acquainted.
Zhou Shan was happy seeing Ah Chen lying in his friend list, he was certain the other was a master, adding a friend was enough, perhaps in the future if something comes up, he could ask for help? Anyway, adding a friend is never wrong.
Finally, it was Ah Chen and Deborah’s turn to visit where Shi Yang used to live.
The two walked in, Ah Chen kept watching Deborah’s actions.
Unexpectedly, just a few steps in, Deborah raised a question: "Is this really where Shi Yang used to live?"
Chen Wan’an was there too, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, then he smiled and said: "Did not expect Deborah Witch to be the first to discover this isn’t Miss Shi’s residence, since Deborah Witch discovered it, please move to where Miss Shi actually stayed."
The audience became lively again, discussing this.
[This witch is still something.]
[So, her divination result might be quite possible?]
[Oh no, oh no, if that’s the case, Shi Yang’s words were probably comforting Mr. Wen, just wanting him to live well, maybe she never thought Mr. Wen wouldn’t move on, even sinking deeper, always remembering her words, and thus making such a fuss in finding someone.]
[If it were someone else, after eleven years, they might forget what a person even looked like.]
[Forget looks, eleven years ago the ex-boyfriend’s name, I almost forgot.]
[Not necessarily, Master Ge and Master Fu calculated it would be in Dan City? I think Eastern Mystic Masters are even more accurate. The witch might have some skill, but not necessarily truly great in divination.]
Ah Chen and Deborah were led to another room, inside, the layout was identical, but upon close observation, the material of the items was different.
Standing inside the room, Ah Chen never touched these items, even if it was the ones Shi Yang used while borrowing Shi Yang’s body; wanting to deduce more from these things was simply impossible!
Her gaze turned to Deborah, who was standing in the center of the room, scanning without performing any divination, just examining each item.
Meanwhile, those resting in the downstairs living room were aware that Deborah had discovered the earlier room wasn’t where Shi Yang once lived.
