Hearing the person’s doubt, Yao Yao nodded with a cheerful grin, "It’s me!"
It was actually true! After Hu Shisi saw the person admit it, she still couldn’t help but be shocked, though only for a short while. She quickly regained her composure. After all, these years following Lady Taishan, she had more or less figured one thing out: don’t question orders from above. Since the order was given, those above naturally had their considerations; her job was simply to obey.
"This Painted Skin has already been eliminated by Shisiniang. Does the Honored Emissary have any further instructions?" Hu Shisiniang couldn’t sense Yao Yao’s strength. Her politeness was directed towards that command tablet.
"Nope, thank you for your hard work, Sister. I’ll send Sister some ingots to eat later," Yao Yao said with a sweet smile. Family Immortals, like Ghost Immortals, could consume ingot and incense offerings. Not only did they taste good, but they could also aid in cultivation. Many immortals, to ensure a steady supply of incense, would choose to become Guardian Immortals of households, but these were mostly Yellow, White, and Gray Immortals, or other miscellaneous spirits from animals that had achieved sentience. Fox immortals basically wouldn’t choose to become Guardian Immortals; they couldn’t bring themselves to lower their status like that.
"Then many thanks to the Honored Emissary." Hu Shisi didn’t pay too much mind upon hearing this. This kind of ingot incense was only useful if folded by someone with profound cultivation. This new Honored Emissary was probably not even four years old; how much cultivation could she possibly have? Whether the ingots she folded could even be eaten was another matter!
Right now, Hu Shisiniang would never have imagined that because of this slight underestimation, she would miss out on the offered ingots, which would instead be eaten by the little foxes under her. Later, she didn’t know how much effort it took for her to finally eat new ones again.
These were all matters for later. The Painted Skin demon was considered thoroughly dealt with. Yao Yao blinked her pretty, large eyes. "Big Brother, I’m hanging up then!" There were still two more fated individuals who hadn’t been drawn yet.
"Alright. When I’m free in a couple of days, I’ll come visit to thank you properly." Qin Yu also had matters to attend to, like the mysteriously vanished main door of the lounge. When the film crew asked, he had to think of a good answer. Anyway, the Master was Gu Yu’s younger sister; visiting her would be very easy.
Looking at the cute and adorable Yao Yao, he didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt a bit sour. Such a good younger sister, able to act cute and also capable, actually belonged to Old Seventh Gu’s family. This guy really stumbled into all the good things.
"Now starting the draw for the second fated person!" Gu Yu didn’t know his good friend was currently feeling sour about him; if he knew, he’d probably be smug enough to float to the sky. His good friend’s life had been saved, which put him in a very good mood. Throughout the entire lottery process, the smile never left his lips, and the second fated person was also chosen.
The other party was a young man, twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. His facial features were average. If there was a drawback, it was that his height wasn’t great, only a little over 1.6 meters.
"Hello, Master!" he greeted politely. His mood and attitude were quite stable at first, but when Yao Yao asked what he wanted to have divined, he became somewhat eager. "Master, I’d like to ask for your help in finding someone. I know this is a bit presumptuous, but I really have no other way."
Yao Yao saw his mood wasn’t quite right and could only try to comfort him first, "Big Brother, don’t be anxious first. I can help you find someone, but you have to tell me who she is to you, and if you have photos or anything." Just saying it out of the blue, she wouldn’t know where to start helping.
"Yes, yes, I have them." Seeing the Master agree, a look of joy immediately appeared on the fated person’s face. Then he explained his problem. It turned out the person he was looking for was his girlfriend, or more accurately, his online romance partner. The two had always had a good relationship, basically messaging each other every day. But suddenly, starting last week, the other party abruptly stopped replying to his messages.
For the first day or two, the fated person thought the other party was busy; after all, occasionally they couldn’t be contacted before. But after a week passed and the other party still hadn’t replied, he realized something was wrong. However, upon realizing the problem, the fated person discovered he didn’t have his girlfriend’s phone number; their only contact method was a social media account. Now that he couldn’t reach her through this software, he truly had no other way. He had even gone to the police station to ask, but the feedback from the station was that there was insufficient information to file a case.
Helpless, the fated person could only continue to wait. During this period, he happened to see Yao Yao’s live stream and witnessed the entire Qin Yu incident. This suddenly gave him an impulse; his intuition told him that this Master might be able to help him find his girlfriend. Thus, when the lottery started again, he clicked without hesitation, and as a result, he was actually chosen.
The fated person didn’t waste time, briefly explaining his problem. But when it came to the photo, his expression became a bit troubled. "Master, I only have a photo of her from a few months ago. Do you think this will work?" Although he didn’t know what the Master required, for something like finding a person, the police station would ask for recent photos. He estimated the Master’s situation would be similar.
"That’s also fine. Big Brother, you can just send the photo directly to my Seventh Brother; I can see it," Yao Yao said slowly. To her, it didn’t make much difference. As long as it wasn’t many years apart, it wasn’t a big problem.
And the netizens had keen noses. This involved online romance, a disappearance, and the photo was from several months ago...
[Isn’t this a classic online scam template? The fated person probably even gave money!]
[It indeed sounds very abnormal. In this day and age, everyone is always with their phone.]
[A few hours without replying might mean they’re sleeping or working, but a week without replying is definitely not normal. Unless the fated person’s girlfriend is in a special profession; if so, it’s still possible.]
Clearly, the last guess was impossible. If she were really in a special profession, the fated person wouldn’t have come to ask.
"She’s not that kind of person! When I said I wanted to buy her a bag before, she refused, saying she didn’t want it. At most, she would accept a little red envelope for holidays. What kind of scammer only scams for that little money?" After sending the photo, the fated person saw the discussion in the comment section and couldn’t help but explain for his girlfriend. His family conditions were quite good, and he himself ran a repair shop, earning one to two hundred thousand a year. In his hometown, such an income was very good. A few hundred for a holiday red envelope, in his opinion, was indeed a small amount of money.
[No, scamming even one yuan is still a scam!]
[This is a matter of nature, not the amount of money.]
[She didn’t ask for much, very likely because she was afraid if it exceeded five thousand, a case could be filed. As long as a case can’t be filed, once the internet account is deleted, who can find whom?]
The netizens saw his stubbornness and immediately knew their words were useless. Thinking about it carefully, it was also quite normal. If his mind was sharp, he wouldn’t still be foolishly thinking the other person was just missing after a week. They couldn’t persuade such a stubborn person; it was better to let the Master handle it personally.
At this time, Yao Yao also saw the photo sent by the fated person. And with one look, she saw the problem. Because the girl in this photo clearly had her own destined true love, and her character was pure and kind. This meant it was almost impossible for her to scam the fated person. Yet, the fated person was very certain this was his girlfriend. Then there was only one possibility: someone had stolen this girl’s photo to scam the fated person.
In that case, it really was as the netizens said!
