The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 71

Compared to their enviable backgrounds, the content of their profiles was rather weak. It only briefly mentioned their parents' backgrounds, and the rest was filled with high-resolution, professionally edited photos of them appearing at various events.

Yu Yuan flipped through the first three profiles with a rustling sound. "What about their achievements?"

Disciples of the Xuanmen Sect jokingly referred to the supernatural events they handled as "achievements."

Hua Nan shrugged. "Well... there aren't any."

Yu Yuan: "..."

She stared at Hua Nan's expression, opened her mouth, then closed it again. After a few breaths, she couldn't help but feel both amused and frustrated.

She understood what Hua Nan meant—it wasn't that their achievements weren't listed; it's that these three people simply didn't have any.

"What about this last one?" She pointed to the gloomy young man on the last page.

The young man looked to be around 19 years old. His complexion was unusually pale, with faint dark circles under his eyes, making him appear somewhat listless. In the photo, he looked slightly impatient as he stared at the screen, seemingly displeased with the photo-taking process.

"This is Bai Cheng, the current head of the Bai family," Hua Nan said, looking at the young man's profile.

This guy could be called the head of the Bai family in a nicer way, but the previous head and his wife had passed away four years ago, and now the family was left with only Bai Cheng and his aunt and sister. He was essentially the sole heir, leading a rather empty existence.

His participation in this competition could either be due to being set up by the Celestial Master Hall as a supporting character to make the others shine, or it could be a last-ditch effort for his family.

Yu Yuan paused when she saw Bai Cheng's profile. "...This person actually has quite a few achievements."

Compared to the glossy, professional photos of the other three, Bai Cheng had only one photo on the first page, with the rest of the pages filled with dense records of his achievements.

From the timeline, it seemed that he had been frequently taking on tasks issued by the Celestial Master Hall since the age of 15. Initially, he would take on two or three tasks every couple of months, but later, it became one a week, and sometimes even one every two or three days. Now, his pace had increased to nearly one per day, though the frequency of his tasks had slowed recently.

All in all, on paper, Bai Cheng seemed to be the most powerful competitor.

But was that really the case? Yu Yuan didn't think so.

Among the three contestants from the Celestial Master Hall, although the first three looked like they were living off their family's name as "metaphysical influencers," how could they have grown up in a prestigious family like the Xuanmen Sect, raised in such an environment and pushed into the public eye, and yet be completely useless?

Even if they were in an ideal position to cultivate followers and gather spiritual power, the crafty senior members of the Xuanmen Sect would never allow a useless person to tarnish the family's reputation.

But what Yu Yuan hadn't expected was that, even though the recording for "Strange and Mysterious Tales of the Demon World" was scheduled for tomorrow, at 9 PM that night, she would run into one of her competitors—Fang Junyan, the eldest son of the Fang family with over a billion fans—during the "Daily Divination" livestream.

To promote "Strange and Mysterious Tales of the Demon World", Fang Junyan was livestreaming and chatting with fans to attract viewers. Somehow, right in the middle of the stream, the screen flashed, and the original interface suddenly switched to a live call. By coincidence, the livestream connected to Yu Yuan's own.

Both of them froze when they saw each other on the screen. Yu Yuan quickly calculated a few things with her fingers, and the deep furrow between her brows slowly eased. She nodded at the screen. "Daoist Fang."

Fang Junyan: "Miss Yu."

The two of them exchanged greetings, and for a moment, neither said anything.

However, the barrage of comments on Fang Junyan's side went wild.

Fang Junyan and the other two mystical celebrities had been promoting "Strange and Mysterious Tales of the Demon World" for over two weeks, and their loyal fans all knew the show would start airing in a month. But now, suddenly, there was a newcomer—Yu Yuan. Not only did she appear out of nowhere, but she was also a former controversial, non-mystical celebrity who had no prior expertise in the subject. She looked like she was just trying to ride on their coattails for attention.

The most crucial thing was that because of Yu Yuan's participation, "Strange and Mysterious Tales of the Demon World" had to air ahead of schedule. Fang Junyan, who was originally traveling in another province, had no choice but to rush back overnight and would have to immediately participate in the show's recording tomorrow.

Looking at the exhaustion on Fang Junyan's face now, his fans were heartbroken.

[What's going on, there's even royalty in places like this? Program team, are you even trying anymore?!]

[A complete outsider who's only just gotten into metaphysics in the past two weeks winning the overall championship would definitely be the biggest joke in the metaphysics community!]

[Yu Yuan, Yu Yuan, can you please stop pulling these stunts! Do you have any idea how tired our Junyan is after flying back overnight? Do you know how much he was looking forward to this trip? And now you've ruined everything!]

[One person joining meant that all eight members of the group had to drop what they were doing to accommodate them. Who wouldn't think it was a princess from a royal family coming in~]

[The company is really working hard, huh~ Yesterday, someone exposed that the manager was pressuring the artist for blank, and I felt sorry for Yu Yuan, but now it seems like those artists were probably just playing along with her! To create a metaphysical image for Yu Yuan, your company's willing to throw away all its dignity!]

[A female celebrity who's become famous for being controversial can participate in this show? The champion must already be decided, right? Then what's the point of even watching? Just hang a wifi router around the royal princess's neck and let her generate traffic for you guys!]

As they watched the sarcastic comments flooding in from Fang Junyan's side, Yu Yuan's fans tried to fight back. But as soon as their comments were posted, they were instantly buried.
