"You..."

"I..."

Both Yu Yuan and Hua Nan spoke at the same time.

Yu Yuan nodded. "You go first."

Looking at her emotionless face, Hua Nan let out a sigh of relief.

An emotionless face was still a lot better than that previous Consultant Bai who always seemed to be looking for someone to insult!

Hua Nan spoke up. "The purpose of my visit this time, besides bringing my team to meet with you, is to follow orders from above to brief you on the guests of the 'Mystical and Strange Tales' variety show."

He took out two documents, handing one to Yu Yuan and keeping the other for himself.

"In this show, besides you representing our underworld, the four clan heirs of the Celestial Master Hall will also participate, along with a few major demons selected by the demon tribe."

Originally, the show had been proposed by the Celestial Master Hall as a way to promote metaphysics to the general public and give their own Celestial Masters a boost in credibility. However, the demon tribe stepped in, turning it into a competitive show between the two sides.

But neither side had expected that the commotion would be so big that it even involved the underworld, which was now taking part.

Yu Yuan skimmed through the list of contestants from the Celestial Master Hall before her gaze lingered in slight surprise on the demon tribe's list.

"Will the Fox Tribe be coming too?"

Because of the previous incident with the Fox Immortal, Yu Yuan had always had a good impression of the fox tribe. Plus, when she went to pick up Liang Liang yesterday, she could tell from the fox shopkeeper at the bakery near the school that the fox tribe had a special fondness for Liang Liang.

In short, she wasn't very eager to face off with the fox tribe.

Meanwhile, the members of the Special Incident Investigation Bureau had varying expressions.

Yu Yuan: "Does the fox tribe have a problem?"

"...No," Hua Nan's mouth twitched as he introduced another special consultant to Yu Yuan. "Our Consultant Bai is a great demon of the fox tribe."

He's a demon with a reputation so bad in the demon world that it's beyond measure... he added in the back.

"Daoist Bai is actually a demon?" Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Her master had warned her before not to confront this Consultant Bai head-on in the Special Incident Investigation Bureau, and if they absolutely had to interact, to make sure not to offend them.

She had assumed this Bai was a quirky senior, but it turned out to be a powerful demon, and a major one from the fox tribe at that.

Hua Nan nodded, glossing over this sad fact that had dampened the mood of the entire Special Incident Investigation Bureau.

"This competition includes you, making a total of nine people. Four demons, and four from the Celestial Master Hall."

"The demon participants are all related to influential families. They include She Qingli, the only son of the current snake tribe leader; Bai Ye, the current leader of the hedgehog tribe; Hu Yao, the younger brother of the current fox tribe leader; and Huang Jiuniang, the younger sister of the current weasel tribe leader."

Because these tribes are all Five Immortals, their spiritual power far exceeds that of the other races. Since the spiritual energy revival, their strength has gradually widened the gap with other tribes and firmly secured their position in the top four of the demon world.

However, the demon world had always kept to itself, so the country had very little information. It was quite difficult to obtain the participant list for this demon competition.

Hua Nan continued, "Based on the information I've received, because of the underworld's involvement, the Celestial Master Hall wants to avoid prolonged delays. They're worried other forces might join in, so they plan to start filming the variety show tomorrow morning."

He then glanced at Yu Yuan, who had been silent. "Apart from the tight filming schedule, the format of the show is a bit special."

"The program will be streamed live."

[Live stream,] Gua Gua, lying nearby and sticking out its tongue, brightened up, nudging Yu Yuan's hand with its big dog head. Its voice was high-pitched and cheerful. [Host! Host! You're really going to listen to my advice and join the variety show?]

Yu Yuan patted its dog head, signaling it to calm down. "I'm fine with the livestream format, anything else?"

Hua Nan: "Feng Shui, fortune-telling, and divination are all specialties of the Celestial Master Hall. As the event organizers, they've designed the show's flow to highlight their strengths. However, what sets 'Strange and Mysterious Tales of the Demon World' apart from other variety shows is that all the cases are based on real incidents from the 'Tulip Emotion' forum."

To make the show more engaging and attract more followers, the production team carefully selected the most dramatic and sensational stories from the forum. To avoid the audience thinking the show had a script, they even picked topics that had caused a stir in the past few years, ensuring plenty of buzz.

"'Tulip Emotion' forum?" Yu Yuan muttered to herself.

It was the first time she'd heard of it, but it sounded like a gossip hotspot.

"Yes," Hua Nan sent her the link to the 'Tulip Emotion' forum, "It's this forum."

Then he continued, "We know very little about the demons, but we have more information from the Celestial Master Hall."

Since the spiritual energy revival, the Celestial Master Hall had been gaining more prominence. The higher-ups kept sending their outstanding juniors to appear in public, and these juniors even had their own fan clubs online. The most popular of them had fan counts in the billions, even surpassing some of the hottest celebrities.

There were three such individuals in this competition.

The first was Fang Junyan, the eldest son of the Fang family from the Celestial Master Hall. He had a handsome, refined appearance and was the most popular among the young members of the Celestial Master Hall.

Next was Huo Qianya, the only daughter of the Huo family. She was known online as a cool beauty and had won countless fans with her sophisticated, world-weary expression.

Lastly, there was Ge Anduo, the youngest daughter of the Ge family. She was innocent and lively, often standing out with her makeup, and she had quite a number of die-hard fans online.

After listening to Hua Nan's introduction, Yu Yuan flipped through the profiles of these younger members from the Celestial Master Hall, and the frown between her brows deepened.
