Speaking of Science in a Supernatural Livestream 28

Chapter 28: Giving Houses and Cars (Part 2)

“It’s you,” Sang Jing was also a little surprised. Although she had mentioned her livestream during the day, she hadn’t expected the other party to actually find her and even link up with her.

The old Celestial Master smiled at the screen, completely lacking her daytime presence. She was standing, and then she bowed to the screen with her hands clasped, her voice loud and clear. “Teacher!”

Sang Jing: “…”

Xie Yu: “Huh?”

Cui Wangshu, on the other side, was also watching the livestream. She was drinking water, and when she saw the old Celestial Master’s disciple ceremony, she spat out a mouthful of water. “Pfft—cough, cough, cough, cough—”

Sang Jing looked up and saw the water stains on the table. She frowned and tapped it with her finger. Cui Wangshu nodded repeatedly.

【?】

【??】

【????????】

【Am I not awake? Someone give me a slap.】

【Are you saying that a level-six Celestial Master certified by the Xuanmen is acknowledging a streamer as her teacher?】

【Grandma, you’re a level-six Celestial Master. Are you mistaken!?】

【Sang Sang!!!! You’re so amazing!!!】

【I’m so curious about Sang Sang’s level. Level seven? Level eight?】

In the livestreaming room on the recommendation page of the metaphysics section, Wenren Jin saw a familiar name mixed in with the bullet comments.

“Sang Jing?” she said, answering their questions. “I know her. She’s very powerful.”

“She’s livestreaming too?”

Wenren Jin immediately searched for Sang Jing’s livestreaming room and entered just in time to see the scene of a level-six Celestial Master acknowledging a new streamer as her teacher.

Sang Jing’s livestreaming room suddenly became lively. With a level-six Celestial Master acknowledging her as a teacher and Young Mistress Wenren entering the livestreaming room, for a time, many people in the metaphysics section were drawn by the news. In just a few minutes, the number of viewers in the livestreaming room broke ten thousand.

【What’s going on? Hasn’t this streamer’s reputation collapsed? Why are there still so many people?】

【So the people in this section all like to watch scammers?】

【I apologize for my previous comments.】

【I’m new here. What is everyone arguing about? Why is it so chaotic?】

【Some people, please don’t talk nonsense. How has Sang Sang’s reputation collapsed? You’re not talking about Encounter, are you? You really believed her when she came with a fake Bazi?】

【Open your eyes and see clearly. Our Sang Sang is someone even a level-six Celestial Master has to call teacher. Young Mistress Wenren personally said that Sang Sang is very powerful! Do you know what that means?】

【This development, half of the voice acting circle’s Encounter ‘debunking’ a new streamer, and a few days later, an industry expert and a rising star simultaneously vouch for the new streamer! Hahahahaha, so lively! I love watching this!】

【This isn’t the streamer’s reputation collapsing, it’s clearly Encounter’s persona collapsing. Using a fake Bazi to make things difficult for a streamer, she has the nerve.】

“Teacher, my name is He Lansu,” He Lansu said very seriously, as if she were really here to become a disciple.

Sang Jing blinked and came back to her senses. “Um, I, I didn’t say I was taking on a disciple. That’s not what I meant during the day.”

He Lansu’s attitude was very firm. “Teacher! I must become your disciple. Teacher, don’t worry. As long as you accept me as your disciple, you can choose any house in the three provinces, and also a car. I’ll arrange for whatever you like. These are all part of my disciple ceremony gift.”

“So, so generous,” Xie Yu said, nudging Sang Jing with her leg.

Giving houses and cars for a disciple ceremony.

Sang Jing glanced at her and pushed her leg away with her knee.

“Sorry, I haven’t graduated myself, so I’m not qualified to take on a disciple,” Sang Jing said after thinking for a moment. “But I can help you with a reading to see if we have that fate.”

He Lansu’s expression went from disappointment to anticipation. “Alright, alright, alright!”

“Send me your Bazi.”

“Alright, Little Bell, come here quickly and help me see how to do this.”

“No way, Grandma, are you really going to become her disciple? She looks younger than me. You, you might as well become my disciple. I’ll give you a house and a car too.”

“You little brat, how dare you talk to your grandma like that! No respect for your elders! Hurry up!”

“Ouch, don’t hit me.”

【Are the requirements for becoming a disciple so high now?】

【Hahahaha, the other side is so cheerful.】

【Giving a house and a car, and that’s only a part!!!?? The streamer isn’t even agreeing! Isn’t this more indifferent to fame and fortune than that Encounter? (smirking face)】

【Sang Sang is so powerful and she hasn’t even graduated. I’m curious how powerful Sang Sang’s teacher must be. Could it be some expert from the Xuanmen?】

【This is hilarious. Just find someone to say a few words. Who knows if she’ll actually give it? She says she hasn’t graduated, but she can do a reading on their fate. If the reading says they have fate, what does that mean? Getting something for nothing, stringing her along?】

【What’s with all the sarcasm? We Encounter fans are not dead. She got an assistant with a similar voice, and now she’s creating the same persona. I’ve never seen such blatant leeching.】

Sang Jing received the information from the backend and was copying it down. She didn’t notice these bullet comments, nor did she notice Xie Yu running to the opposite sofa to watch the livestream on her phone with Cui Wangshu, their eyes filled with the same anger.

The sofa was not far from the coffee table. Xie Yu looked at those bullet comments and raised her voice.

“You must be bored out of your mind. You can make up a whole drama from someone’s casual words. Getting something for nothing? Are you just jumping up and down in anger because you see that our Sang Jing is really powerful? Not taking on disciples because she hasn’t graduated is because she understands the rules, unlike you, who is full of mush and loves to put on airs.”

“Leeching? A person who has disappeared from the internet for three or four months, do we need to leech off her popularity? Does she even have popularity? She’s probably already cooled down. Are you blind or has your brain been eaten? Comparing me to Encounter? You and a dog both breathe. Can I say you’re related to a dog too?”

Cui Wangshu silently gave Xie Yu a thumbs-up from the side.

Amazing, Assistant Xiao Xie!

Xie Yu wanted to retort to them one by one, but she saw Sang Jing look over, put a finger to her lips, and “shh” her. Xie Yu had no choice but to stop.

The room fell silent. Sang Jing compared the two’s Bazi and nodded under He Lansu’s expectant gaze.

He Lansu was overjoyed. “Really! Teacher!”

“This fate is not necessarily a master-disciple fate,” Sang Jing said softly. “It still depends on the future.”

“Alright, alright, alright,” He Lansu said three times. She was afraid that Sang Jing would shake her head after looking at the Bazi, and they would have no fate at all.

As long as there was fate, there was a chance.

He Lansu had paid the fee at the very beginning. After Sang Jing hung up on her, she immediately started the second round of link-ups.

This time, there were even more people vying to link up, as if it were back to the scene before Encounter’s ‘debunking’.

Sang Jing randomly chose one. The nickname was ‘Chang Haha’.

‘Chang Haha’ was a round-faced girl. When she smiled, her eyes curved into a line, very cute.

“I really linked up!!” ‘Chang Haha’ looked at the camera in surprise. After confirming that her face was on the screen, she felt a little embarrassed.

But a moment later, she looked up at the camera and greeted, “Hello, Sang Sang. I like you a lot.”

Sang Jing smiled at her. “Thank you. Is there anything you want a reading on?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

‘Chang Haha’ nodded and paid the fee.

“Sang Sang, it’s like this. My hometown was originally in Liangshui. Half a year ago, my mom listened to my little uncle and moved to Jinhe. They even found a master to look at the feng shui of the new house. But ever since I started living in the new house, I’ve been having headaches and can’t sleep well. I always hear footsteps and voices in the middle of the night. My mom too, things have not been going smoothly for her. She almost got into a car accident two days ago,” ‘Chang Haha’ said with a sad face. She even looked around her, the panic and fear in her eyes not fake.

“Sang Sang, is there… is there that thing in this house?” ‘Chang Haha’ was alone at home and didn’t want to say that word.

Sang Jing understood her meaning. Combined with what she had just said, she thought for a moment and said, “How about this: you go out first, stay far away from the main door and let me see the full view of this house. Then, enter from the main door and film the layout and furnishings of the house.”

“Alright!”

The camera shook for a few minutes before stopping, then it was flipped over. “Sang Sang, the one on the left is my little uncle’s house, and the one on the right is my house.”

Sang Jing looked at the two adjacent houses in the image. They were both detached villas and looked almost identical from the outside.

Generally, houses were built to face south, but these two houses were the opposite, facing north.

“Go in and take a look.”

“Alright,” ‘Chang Haha’ said and started to walk into the house.

The light dimmed as soon as she entered. Against the wall opposite the main door were two old-style wooden chairs with a small table in between. A landscape painting hung on the wall behind them.

Sang Jing frowned. Seeing her frown, ‘Chang Haha’s’ heart tightened and she stopped. “Wh-what’s wrong, Sang Sang? Is something wrong?”

To confirm her suspicion, Sang Jing asked, “This painting is very nice. Where did you buy it?”

Suddenly changing the subject, the tension in ‘Chang Haha’s’ heart immediately dissipated. She had thought it was something serious.

“This one? My little uncle brought it over. He said it would look nice in the house. He brought several of them. Do you like it, Sang Sang? I can give it to you.”

Sang Jing: “…”

No need. She had enough ghosts around her. She didn’t need this gloomy thing.

“Take this painting down and smell it to see if there’s a fragrance.”

Hearing this, ‘Chang Haha’ put her phone aside, stepped on a stool, and took the painting down. Then she brought it to her nose to smell. The smell almost sent her away. “Ugh…”

She covered her nose and threw the painting on the ground, then picked up her phone again. “It’s not fragrant. It has a musty, smelly odor. It’s particularly unpleasant.”

“What else did your little uncle say when he gave you the painting?”

‘Chang Haha’ thought for a moment. “He said it was painted by a master and was very precious. Oh my, I threw the painting on the ground.”

With that, ‘Chang Haha’ was about to bend down to pick it up, but when she saw the painting on the ground, she was stunned. The original landscape painting was a mess, and the water on it had directly submerged the mountain.

“How did this happen?”

“Your house faces north, so the yin energy is too heavy. And this painting was deliberately painted with talisman water. It has a certain attraction to ghosts, and they like places with heavy yin energy. Over time, your house…”

Before Sang Jing could finish, ‘Chang Haha’s’ face had already turned pale.

Over time, it would become a home for lonely ghosts and wild spirits. Living with a group of ghosts, no wonder she felt unwell.

“Sang Sang, what should I do then!?” ‘Chang Haha’ grabbed onto her only lifeline.

“Do you have any incense at home?”

“Yes!”

“Take down all the paintings, light the incense, and send them off with a few words.”

“Alright, I’ll do it right away!”

After hastily doing all this, ‘Chang Haha’ asked hesitantly, “Is that all?”

“Of course not,” Sang Jing said, rubbing her fingertips. “Is there anything you worship at home?”

Since she had incense at home, there must be something she worshipped.

‘Chang Haha’ nodded. “Yes.”

She said as she went upstairs, “That was brought over by my little uncle from Xianling. He said it was consecrated, one for each family.”

As expected.

Sang Jing’s lips curved.

The real reason for this family’s misfortune was here.
