Chapter 553
Berger was obsessed with art and often locked himself in his studio for a month when he went mad, the kind that isolates him from the outside world.
Isc has nothing to do with art, he doesn’t even know about it, let alone pay attention to it.
But since the last time he left Shanghai, he’s been able to think of a few messages to send to Ying in the middle of his painting.
In the past year or so, Berg really hadn’t seen anyone else who looked more like Chino Feng than Ying Zidian’s paintings.
It was a pity that Ying Zigey was so busy that the two of them never met again.
This time it was a coincidence.
Luckily he had a good eye.
“……”
Looking at Berg’s enlarged face, the live broadcast and the conference hall instantly fell silent.
Who was Berg Bryan?
Even if there were those who didn’t know, it was clear from hearing Qin Lingyu’s introduction earlier.
And now he himself said that he wanted to be Ying Zigui’s teacher.
The impact was so huge that it shook people back to their senses.
Li Han turned his head and looked like he had been struck by lightning: “Ying, sister Ying?”
How come their Imperial University’s group’s favourite schoolgirl suddenly knew how to oil paint?
Where does this leave the art department’s seniors and sisters?
Even Wen Wan heard Lan thought for a while before remembering the art festival in Qingzhi last year.
His sister had swept through the whole high school, taking more than a dozen first places.
His sister knew so many things that he couldn’t even remember them all.
It wouldn’t affect anything anyway.
Hu An’s expression shattered open, almost in disbelief.
Ying pressed her head and replied politely, “I’ll probably be free after college.”
It really wasn’t much of a coincidence for her.
Berg was not a low achiever in art, not yet forty this year, and had already worked out a character of her own.
She would be doing him a disservice by going to teach instead.
“Alas, that’s three years away.” Berger was reluctant, “Or else you can draw me another picture?”
Ying thought for a moment, “That’s fine, it’s free for you.”
The two of them said one thing to each other, finally making the netizens barely react.
[Crap crap crap! I’m dumbfounded.]
【When others are double schooling, Ying Shen has become promoted to teacher’s teacher.]
I’m sorry, but the saying that there is a world outside of people is really true, but it’s obviously not valid in front of Ying Shen.
“Master Ying, wait a minute.” Burger suddenly remembered his good friend, “I’ll go and get Bart, Bart hasn’t seen you for a long time either.”
Before Ying could say anything, Berg had already left in a huff.
The teacher at the Royal Academy of Arts in o Continent was also confused.
A few minutes later, back came the two men.
Bart looked more serious than Berg, but after seeing the girl, he too was instantly excited and picked up the computer: “Master Ying, when are you coming to teach me piano?”
All: “……”
Qin Lingyu took a deep breath and also went a little numb: “Bart Sieber, the famous pianist from o continent and also an honorary lecturer at the Royal Academy of Arts in o continent.”
Juan’s breath caught in his throat and he only felt a wave of vertigo.
It wasn’t enough that there was a Berg, there was a Bart?
What magical world?
Adele clapped her hands and her eyes lit up, “Sister is awesome.”
She’s awesome too, that’s why she and Ying are family.
Yes, that’s the truth.
Juan was completely devastated and regretted very much why he had let the programme team link o the Royal Academy of Arts on the Continent.
Not only did he fail to show his style, but he was pressured again.
“It’s almost time to eat at noon again.” After the campus was finished watching, Qin Lingyu said, “The programme team will not be providing lunch or cash today, you all need to earn your own money.”
“You guys earn as much money as you want for lunch.”
Watching academic cla*ses all the time, the netizens get tired too.
Earning money and being able to show independence.
Juan wrinkled his eyebrows, “Why is there still this kind of requirement?”
What a crap show this is.
A group of people went over to the West Street snack street, and Hu An Cheng was black-faced.
“There are stalls for everyone.” Qin Lingyu was laid back, “Everyone can start whenever they want, the staff are not able to help.”
“Hu An, what do we take to earn money?” The same astrology boy whispered, “We didn’t bring anything.”
“Who says they didn’t bring it?” Juan pulled out a deck of tarot cards, “Divination to earn money.”
The boys thought the same thing and quickly put up a sign.
It read, “Tarot divination, eight hundred a time.”
In the second group, Wen Wanlan and Li Han saw Ying Ziji pull out a bunch of autographed photos from her school bag.
There was one from Qin Lingyu and one from Shang Yaozhi.
A single signed photo of these two top streamers was already worth five hundred dollars on second-hand trading websites.
Not to mention other people, even the program team and Qin Lingyu herself didn’t expect it.
Qin Lingyu: “…… You carry some with you, it’s not heavy?”
Although it’s true that Ying Ziyi is the CEO of First Light Media, there’s no shortage of autographed photos.
But who would carry a bag of autographs for nothing?
Ying Zidian slowly and methodically laid out all the autographed photos: “This is money.”
How can money be heavy.
That’s strange.
Qin Lingyu: “……”
Wen Hanlan walks over to sit next to Ying Zidian and lays out two QR codes, both Alipay and WeChat.
Hmm.
He needs to learn more from his sister in this regard.
The live broadcast room instantly exploded.
[Crap, is anyone in West Street? Go, go, go buy!
I’m coming, I’m coming, take a taxi, I’ll be there in ten minutes.
I’m coming, I’m coming, I’ll be there in ten minutes.
Soon, the West Street side was full of people.
There were both boys and girls, and they lined up very consciously.
What Ying Ziji was selling wasn’t expensive.
It was ten yuan a piece.
Those who could come all the way here were all hardcore fans of Qin Lingyu and Shang Yaozhi.
First Light Media would never use an artist’s fans to make money, let alone allow such a situation to happen.
[Oooooooh, ten dollars! I got a signed photo of the pups for ten dollars.
[Monitor each other, no one who buys an autographed photo today is allowed to resell it at a higher price.
It didn’t take long at all for all the hundreds of autographed photos that Ying Zidian had brought with him to be sold out.
The crowd dispersed again.
But at that moment, a long, slender and straight figure appeared in the range of the camera.
The netizens were able to see it clearly.
“Excuse me.” Ying Ziyi didn’t look up, “It’s sold out.”
“Well, I don’t want them.” A familiar lazy voice rang out, before hearing his voice press down again and a slow low laugh, “I don’t like theirs, Ying Shen, is there a signed photo of you? I’ll buy it.”
The word “Ying Shen” was uttered by him, completely different from others.
It carried a bit of a seductive and compelling meaning.
Ying Zidian looked up and his phoenix eyes narrowed.
Although the core point of this episode was Norton University, since yesterday, all the focus was once again on the girl.
Ying Zidian is followed by two cameramen, clearly recording the man’s voice.
[Crap, who is this guy? Molesting Ying Shen, greatly bad!!!]
I want an autographed photo of Ying too.
[Why is he wrapped up so tightly, I can’t see anything, his voice is too good, no, I want to find out who this man is.
“Yes.” Ying Ziyi gathered her eyes and avoided his overly hot sight, “You have to pay extra.”
Fu Yunshen just smiled: “Of course.”
Ying Zidian’s hand paused, borrowed Adele’s Polaroid, took a picture and then signed and handed it over.
“I don’t have any cash on me.” Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes dropped and he glanced at the picture, his eyebrows raised, “This card has all the money in it.”
There was an ATM right next to it, and Wen Huilan took the card to check the balance.
One of the cameras followed it over.
Then a clear shot of the money in the bank card was taken.
The seven-digit number stunned everyone.
The pop-ups were full of groaning and exclamation marks.
Ying Zidian: “……”
She could only say two words.
Defeat.
Ying Zidian looked up: “That’s too much.”
“It’s not much, here -” Fu Yunshen paused, his long fingers pressed the signed photo and smiled again, “Thank you, Ying Shen.”
Ying Ziyi’s eyelashes twitched slightly.
She knew what he wanted to say later.
How could it be a defeat when it was given to Yoyo.
Fu Yunshen takes the autographed photo and walks away.
His pace was not slow or hurried, yet he gave off a very strong aura.
“Hurry!” The producer watching the footage was excited, “Mr. Qin, send someone to follow up! This is a big bang.”
Qin Lingyu: “……”
She didn’t really dare.
In the end, Ying Ziyi’s group earned one million six hundred dollars.
Not to mention a meal, they were able to open a franchise.
The tarot card divination stall set up by Hu’an was not visited by anyone.
It’s not that there aren’t tarot divination shops in the imperial capital, but they all start at 70 or 80 a time, not to mention the ground stalls.
The ones that can attract customers are the oldest shops here, with a certain customer base.
When Juan came up and asked for 800, he was a young foreign guy, and without a customer base, only a fool would come and spend money.
Juan was furious, he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, “These people, they really don’t know what they are doing, I won’t bother with them.”
He was in his second year of university, and his astrological ability was certainly no match for his seniors and sisters, but he could at least really count.
Those who run divination shops, are they as good as him?
They were just gods and goddesses who came out to cheat people.
The others in the same group earned some money and had enough to eat.
Only the second group went to the Han Court, while Hu An’s group only went to the snack shop down the street.
After eating, the group gathered again to discuss the sights to be visited tomorrow.
Juan took the map and pointed to a spot, “Go here.”
Adele bristled, “What’s there to climb about mountains?”
“That place, it’s best not to go there.” Ying Zidian faded, “It’s not safe in the middle of nowhere.”
“What’s unsafe about it?” Hu An was cold, “It’s not a scenic spot in your imperial capital, you say it’s not safe?”
He checked very clearly.
The lonely mountain that the Hershel family had identified happened to be behind a scenic area, except that not many people went to this scenic area.
Of course no one wanted to go to a lonely mountain, and Juan could only use the scenic area as an excuse.
Out of something like borrowing luck, Li Han believed in Ying Zigui.
To be precise, she believed in metaphysics and that there was really karma in this world.
Li’s father and mother had all been laid off and sold their house, so they had to squeeze into a rented room.
Li Wenxuan has fallen into a coma and the hospital says he doesn’t have many days left to live.
This was all retribution.
So Li Han didn’t even think about it and immediately refused.
“Wen Listen Lan, you’re at least from Norton University.” Hu An looked at the teenager, “You’ve also taken adventure cla*ses, you wouldn’t be afraid to go, right?”
Who would be afraid of that, Norton University students?
Wen heard Lan just raised his eyes, his eyes were dark.
It was as if he could see what was going on.
Hu An’s heart thudded.
Ying Zidian suddenly spoke up, “Xiaolan, you go.”
Wen Xiaolan didn’t ask why, and directly responded, “Yes, I’ll go then.”
Hu An snorted, “You listen to your sister in everything, how useless.”
He really didn’t know how many elites Adele had met as the offspring of the astrological family over at Norton University, so how could she look at Wen Huilan?
“Listen Lan go, I’ll go too.” Adele’s ears caught the important point of information and rejoiced, “I can help blow up the mountain.”
Rihan choked on a mouthful of water.
This?
“Miss Milton, my father wants to meet you.” Ying said, “He’s a researcher and has more experiments, so he’s only free tomorrow.”
“Good bah.” Adele could only give up, “I’ll go and see dad then.”
Wen heard Lan: “……?”
Who’s dad?
Juan made a snap decision, “Then it’s a deal.”
His target was only Wen Huilan, of course he didn’t want Adele to go.
Ying Ziji took out her tarot cards and laid them out casually.
“Eh, sister, you play tarot cards too.” Adele bounced over, “This is a nice tarot card of yours.”
Coming from a family of astrologers, Adele was naturally able to see that the tarot cards were real.
There were a few real tarot cards that came onto the market once in a while, but they were rare.
It was not easy to buy one.
“Hmm.” Ying Ziji drew out three cards, “Will play a little.”
After being suppressed for a few days, Juan finally couldn’t stand it anymore.
After hearing this, his voice was tinged with mockery: “You can call that playing tarot? What do you know about tarot cards?”
Do you really think those tarot cards sold in the market can calculate anything remarkable?
Chapter 554
Even if he got lucky and bought real tarot cards, without the guidance of a real diviner, it would not be possible to tell anything.
Before Juan came to China, the elders of the Heschel family had told him about the divination world over here in China and told him to be careful.
In terms of trigonometry, whether o continent had experienced that witch trial or not, there was no way to compare with the East.
If he offended the fortune-tellers here, the Heschel family could not protect him.
But Juan also knew that the powerful fortune-tellers in China were all old men and women who formed their own circle and usually did not come out.
How could he have come across them?
Wen heard Lan look up and smiled in a rare moment, very cold: “Hu An, how many faces do you have? Not enough to be beaten?”
Hu An’s expression stalled, remembering the live broadcast of the show this morning, his face instantly darkened to the point where water could drip out.
He gritted his teeth, inwardly very resentful.
This pair of siblings were clearly here to grill him.
“Sister, you play.” Wen Huilan naturally had contact with the astrology students, and he knew a little bit about tarot cards, “What do you count?”
Ying Zigui was light-hearted: “To tell your luck in peach blossom.”
Wen Hanlan: “……”
He, for one, didn’t really want it.
Adele, however, was interested: “Sister, did you figure it out, it’s me, right?”
“Adele, that’s a fake!” Juan was furious, “If they don’t know, how can you not know?”
If anyone had a talent for astrology, wouldn’t they all be in the Astrology Department at Norton University?
Adele rolled her eyes, “None of your business.”
Juan was unable to speak.
By this time, Ying Zidian had also turned all the cards upside down.
Juan took a very casual glance.
A positive Tower, an inverted Magician, and the last one was an inverted Judgement.
None of them were cards with any good signification.
They represented a loss of success and a stumble.
This was all he had to offer, and he was counting his luck?
Hu An snorted lightly, didn’t look at it again and went back to the hotel.
In the room, Ying Ziji put the cards away and raised her eyebrows.
What she was counting was not Wen Huilan’s luck, but what would happen to Hu An tomorrow.
Adele also saw the three cards with bad meanings and her mood immediately dropped: “Sister, this card?”
“I can’t count, don’t take it for real.” Ying took out another lollipop, “My father’s cooking is very good, you are welcome to be our guest.”
Adele ate the lollipop and then forgot what she was going to ask.
She took out the remaining gold bricks and happily gave them to Rihan to share.
**
Evening.
The Ji family.
The villa area.
Ying Ziyi finished her meal and stood on the open terrace blowing the wind.
The phone rang twice at that moment.
[Fifth Moon]: Miss, there’s news from the trigonometry world that a water snake has awakened in the cold pool on this mountain, it’s as thick as a big tree, very toxic, predicted to have lived for hundreds of years, has some intelligence, and its strength is comparable to that of an ancient martial artist with sixty years of cultivation.
[Fifth Moon]: They are going tomorrow afternoon and are preparing to combine their efforts to strangle and kill it, to prevent this water snake from coming out to scourge the ma*ses, grandpa asked me to follow and exercise, Miss, are you going?
Ying Zigui’s eyes narrowed slightly as she replied.
[Well, I’ll go.]
This mountain, the same one behind the tourist attraction that Juan had picked.
Of course, creatures like the dragon and phoenix, which people fantasize about in legends, are not found on earth.
But there are indeed creatures that have not been recorded.
Most of these creatures live beneath the deep sea, in places that no submarine can reach.
The fact that this lake can support such a thick water snake is considered a feng shui treasure.
A feng shui treasure place naturally has rare herbs, ores or other rare items.
Don’t want them for nothing.
Those fortune tellers are so excited, not because the water snake has awakened, but because of the heavenly treasures there.
Ying Ziji was pondering when her waist was wrapped around someone from behind.
The man’s palm was warm and his fingertips seemed to carry magic, stirring up a cluster of electricity.
Ying Zidian took hold of his hand: “No hugging here, I’m itching.”
“Hm? Itchy meat?” Fu Yunshen didn’t tease her, he changed his position, “Do you think I’m doing well today?”
“Well…” Ying Ziyi paused and slightly tilted her head, “Aren’t you afraid of being recognised?”
Although Fu Yunshen was wrapped up very tightly, and even used the ancient martial arts secret bone shrinking technique to slightly change her height.
But it’s still not safe.
After all, netizens are very sharp-eyed now.
With a blurry photo, they were able to pick out the real person.
“How?” Fu Yun raised his deep eyebrows slightly, his voice trailing off, “Yao Yao, I’m kind of a half-a*sed disguise artist, if I recognized it, wouldn’t I have learned it for nothing.”
Ying Zidian was lying on the balcony, looking lazy, “Sir is quite good.”
“It’s almost New Year again.” Fu Yunshen rubbed her head, “Time does fly, Old Mu said he invited you to the Mu family for New Year’s Eve this year.”
“Hmm.” Ying Ziyi didn’t refuse, “I’m fine with that.”
**
The next day.
Hu An sat circumspectly prepared.
The crew didn’t follow the show today because it was a visit, and would continue tomorrow with a new broadcast.
The spot was not famous, but there was a photo mecca where many tourists lined up to take pictures.
“Let’s go over there and have some fun.” Juan coughed twice, pretending to be intentional, “There are too many people here to have too much fun.”
Adele, Ying Zigui and Li Han were not here today.
The other two Norton University students, naturally led by Hu An, all agreed.
Wen heard Lan also nodded his head.
One of the seniors from Imperial University originally didn’t want to go, but when he saw that Wen Weilan had agreed, he wrinkled his brows and stood up, “Brother, I’ll go with you.”
In the past few days of recording and communicating together, they had all seen that Hu An had been targeting Wen Huilan.
Who knew what would happen?
Hu An frowned.
He only wanted to leave Wen Huilan behind and didn’t want to involve ordinary people.
But there was no way he could refuse, so he could only take these few people to the back of the mountain.
Hu An pretended that he didn’t know the way, glanced at the coordinates on his phone, and brought Wen Huilan towards the cold pool.
“Hu An, don’t you feel a bit cold?” The boy on the side rubbed his hands, “Let’s go back, it’s too silent here.”
Hu An was not impressed and used a provocative method, “Operations’ missions often go to no man’s land, what is this place?”
The boys didn’t say anything either.
Indeed, it was nothing compared to the missions at Norton University.
Two hours later, the group arrived by a lake.
The temperature was colder, and the surroundings quieter.
Juan’s eyes narrowed.
This was it.
The lake was foggy, so it was not very clear to see.
Wen heard Lan’s expression was slightly strained.
“Hiss!”
Suddenly, there was a very seeping sound.
At the same moment, with a “buzzing” sound, a pillar of water curled up on the lake.
A 15-metre long water snake appeared in sight.
It had green vertical pupils and was eerily compelling.
The whole group was shocked.
They stared blankly at the very thick water snake and forgot to move in unison.
The words “The Legend of the White Snake” popped into the elder’s mind and he wondered if he was watching a TV series.
How else could such a big snake appear?
Only Hu An was calm and sneered in his heart.
This was the effect he wanted, this snake, it was perfectly capable of keeping Wen Huilan here.
But before he could start acting according to his plan, suddenly, the water snake let out another hissing sound.
“Hissing–”
It opened its mouth and unexpectedly spewed out a green, sticky venom.
Everywhere the venom sprayed, the plants all withered.
This time, Juan’s complexion changed greatly and his face turned ghastly white bit by bit.
Not good!
It was a mistake!
It was because they were too far away, and the diviners of the Heschel family had failed to calculate that the power of this poisonous snake was far beyond their control.
It was fine to kill Wen Huilan, but I was afraid that he would have to die here today too.
This was not good.
Hu An gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind, turned around and ran away.
As he ran away, he also pushed Wen Hanlan.
The poisonous snake was right in front of him, and only if Wen heard Lan was eaten by the snake would he have a chance to escape.
The venomous snake opened its mouth once more and spewed out its venom.
Before Wen heard Lan came, he had already taken the pills that Ying Ziji had given him.
After he knocked the senior unconscious with his hand, he also fed him a pill.
Before the snake could launch its next attack, Wen heard Lan had already picked up the senior on his back and shied away.
Not only did Hu An fail to push, but he fell to the ground himself.
Once again, the water snake spewed out its venom.
Hu An let out a scream and fell to the ground, screaming out repeatedly, “Arm! My arm!”
His whole arm was gradually corroding in the venom spewed out by the water snake, and the wound was deep to the bone.
The other two Norton students were almost desperate.
They had no idea what Juan and the Hershel family had planned.
All were just coming of age and had experienced too few practical cla*ses to have encountered such a spectacle.
Norton University also kept some beasts inside, to increase the students’ chances of survival when they joined the Operations Department and went on missions in the desert or the rainforest.
But they were only soph*mores and had never been on a mission like this before.
What can they do?
Just as the two men were panicking, suddenly the snake stopped its attack.
As if it had discovered some greater crisis, it slowly raised its head, its green eyes fixed on one direction.
At the same time, there was a cold, slow, sparse voice falling.
“Told you, it’s dangerous here, don’t come.”
“If you come, be prepared to lose your life.”
On the lake, the girl stepped forward.
It was like walking on flat ground, treading water without a trace.
