Chapter 16: Crashing the Stream (With Gossip)
Because the broadcast had just started, there weren’t many people in the livestream room yet, and comments were sparse. So, Lin Yuan’s comment stayed on the screen for a while.
Netizens began to discuss it.
[Oh, someone’s here to crash the scene!]
[Who is this “Qingzhou”? How can they say something so nasty right off the bat?]
[@Qingzhou: Bro, that’s really uncalled for! Aren’t you cursing the expectant mother?]
[Master Bai, say something quickly. Someone is saying it’s a ghost fetus. What’s going on?]
Master Bai also noticed the discordant voice in the comment section, and his expression turned slightly cold.
“This friend, Qingzhou, please watch your mouth! You shouldn’t speak carelessly about such things!”
“I have already calculated it clearly. Are you playing a prank or questioning my professional ability?”
Lin Yuan’s handsome brows furrowed slightly.
He hadn’t intended to tear down someone else’s stage on their own turf.
However, there was a ninety percent chance that the child in that woman’s belly was a ghost fetus.
When it came time for delivery, it would take the woman’s life.
He didn’t know if this Master Bai was an incompetent charlatan or if he was deliberately concealing it to make money from the woman later. Either way, he was treating human life as a game.
He wouldn’t indulge this kind of trash!
Lin Yuan posted two more comments.
[Master, if you can tell me the client’s birth date and time so I can cast a hexagram, I can give you an accurate answer.]
[If a life is lost due to your negligence, that will be your sin!]
At this, the netizens in the livestream room got excited.
They clamored for the Master to connect with this “Qingzhou” user. Let them face off drum to drum, gong to gong, to see who was superior.
Provoked by the netizens, Master Bai decided to connect with “Qingzhou.”
He first asked for the client’s opinion.
The woman was already terrified.
She was sensitive to begin with, and hearing these words made her even more nervous.
“I agree, Master Bai! Connect with that netizen and let’s hear what he has to say!” The woman’s voice was filled with unease.
“Alright, then I will bring this netizen in, and we will properly calculate this hexagram together!”
“Qingzhou, do you dare?”
Lin Yuan typed a single word: “Good.”
Soon, the connection was successful, and Lin Yuan’s face appeared in a corner of the screen.
When the netizens saw that the “Qingzhou” who came to kick up a fuss was such a striking, handsome young man, they instantly boiled over.
[This little brother is too handsome, right? I want to date him!]
[Such a young kid, can he really divine? Let’s keep watching!]
[Being this handsome, he’s seriously disturbing my Daoist heart!]
[You could obviously make a living with your face; why study divination!]
Lin Yuan’s appearance seemed to bring a huge wave of heat to Master Bai’s livestream. The number of viewers skyrocketed.
But Master Bai kept a cold look on his long, thin face.
He said to the client, “Shall I tell him your birth date and time?”
The client nodded in agreement.
Master Bai announced the birth date and time.
Lin Yuan took out his six Five-Emperor Coins from his pocket.
Held in his slender, scallion-white hand, he shook them gently.
The bullet screen went crazy again.
[Ahhh! Little Brother’s hand is killing me!]
[Face fetish, hand fetish, collarbone fetish! Little Brother satisfied all my XP (fantasies) at once!]
[Watch out above, your drool is landing on my face!]
Lin Yuan tossed the copper coins onto the table and examined them closely. He also used the Four Pillars of the birth date combined with the Ten Gods for deduction.
A moment later, he nodded. “That’s right, Auntie. Judging from the hexagram, you are indeed destined to have no sons.”
“The fetus currently in your belly is definitely a ghost fetus!”
“Think carefully about how the ghost fetus entered your body. Then find a reliable master to break the curse quickly!”
The woman was frightened and looked at Master Bai again.
Master Bai snorted with a cold face. “Nonsense! Kid, just because you say it’s a ghost fetus with your red mouth and white teeth, it makes it a ghost fetus?”
Lin Yuan’s small face remained calm, his brow raising slightly.
“If I say it is, it is!”
“Master, if you don’t believe my hexagram spirit, why don’t we calculate when the fetus in her belly was conceived?”
Master Bai waved his hand. “How can that be calculated!”
Lin Yuan’s lips curled into a cold sneer, his phoenix eyes slanting upward. “I can.”
After speaking, he gathered the copper coins into his palm again. A light shake, a light toss.
“This ghost fetus entered the body more than two months ago. Auntie, am I right?”
The comment section became even livelier.
[Impossible! Look at her belly; it’s at least four months. It’s already showing. Sisters who have given birth know!]
[It doesn’t look like just two months! Little Brother’s calculation is probably inaccurate!]
[It’s over, he’s exposed his ignorance now! The kid has no experience; anyone can see that belly isn’t smaller than four months!]
But panic filled the woman’s eyes, and she cried out, “Little Master, you are right! It really has been less than three months!”
“The doctor also said that this child is growing too fast!”
The comment section went silent for a moment, then erupted.
[Oh my god! He actually got it right!]
[Why do I feel creeps all over my body?]
[This handsome guy really has some skills! If he starts a livestream, I’ll definitely support him!]
[I want to send gifts to Little Brother too!]
[Master Bai isn’t effective! Unfollowing! Going to follow Brother Qingzhou!]
Lin Yuan said, “Think about it. During that time, did you go to any special places or did anything special happen?”
The woman’s face was pale.
She thought hard and said, “At that time, we had just moved into this house from elsewhere. Could it be that there is a problem with this house?”
At this moment, the number of people in Master Bai’s livestream had climbed to an unprecedented ten thousand plus.
The comment section was buzzing.
Sharp-eyed netizens noticed that a top-tier blogger in the metaphysics livestreaming world, screen name “Good-for-nothing Jiang Ye,” had appeared in the room.
[Holy crap, is it really Brother Jiang?]
[Jiang Ye is here? Now it’s getting lively.]
[Good-for-nothing Jiang Ye hasn’t streamed for over half a month!]
[Hello Brother Jiang!]
[Hello Brother Jiang!]
A connection request appeared in Master Bai’s backend.
It was precisely “Good-for-nothing Jiang Ye.”
Master Bai’s face darkened slightly. He didn’t know what the industry big shot’s intention was in asking to connect with him.
But the netizens were clamoring for him to connect with Brother Jiang.
Master Bai had no choice but to accept the signal from “Good-for-nothing Jiang Ye.”
Jiang Ye’s face appeared on the screen.
He was a young man of twenty-six or twenty-seven.
Completely different from his name (“Wild”).
His appearance was handsome, refined, and elegant. Behind a pair of gold-rimmed glasses were warm, smiling eyes that naturally exuded friendliness.
It was just that his complexion was slightly pale, and his lip color was very faint, making him look a bit sickly.
When Lin Yuan was in the mountains, he didn’t watch livestreams often because the signal was bad and data was limited.
So he didn’t know Jiang Ye.
But with so many netizens in the livestream room explaining, he understood that this person had a significant background.
Jiang Ye spoke, his voice gentle.
“Hello Master Bai, hello Little Brother Qingzhou.”
Lin Yuan nodded politely. “Hello, Brother Jiang Ye!”
Master Bai was a bit impatient. “Brother Jiang, you asked to connect. Is something the matter?”
Jiang Ye slowly closed the folding fan in his hand.
“Master Bai, I was watching your stream just now. I wanted to borrow your platform to say a few words. Sorry for the intrusion!”
Master Bai waved his hand. “It’s fine. Say what you want to say!”
Peers are enemies, especially a peer with higher prestige than himself. Master Bai looked unhappy.
Jiang Ye: “Can the client pull the camera back a bit? Let me look at the layout of your room.”
The woman seeking the hexagram hurriedly turned the phone camera outward. “Master Jiang, please take a look!”
After Jiang Ye scanned the ordinary two-bedroom apartment, his expression turned slightly serious.
