Upon hearing Jiangli’s words, Ping Momo kept thanking him in the "Danmu".
Jiangli asked her to send a private message and then continued with the next one.
Xia Xin then took a screenshot and selected another participant.
This person quickly sent their request for a reading and their birth details to Xia Xin.
Xia Xin handed the content over to Jiangli to see.
After looking it over, Jiangli directly said, "You feel like, no matter how hard you try, you accomplish nothing?"
A red "Danmu" quickly appeared on the screen.
[Yes, I’ve really tried hard... When others were guaranteed a position for postgraduate studies, I studied hard as if my life depended on it. I just wanted to take the postgraduate entrance exam, but I still failed. What should I do now, Master?]
After examining his birth details, Jiangli said, "Your fortune has not been good these past few years; indeed, there’s been a sense of powerlessness. The prospect for your studies is also quite average recently—difficult to make a breakthrough, but your career fortune is good. I think you should go for a job. You have a way with words and are quite adaptable; you could consider a position that involves dealing with people frequently. That would be better for you. Sometimes one should not fixate on a narrow path; being too obstinate can only have a greater impact."
[Thank you, Abbot, for your guidance. I now see things much clearer, thank you, Abbot!]
In the live stream room, after listening to Jiangli’s extensive advice, the speed of the "Danmu" slowed down, but the comments became more serious.
There were no more comments that merely heaped praise.
Quite a few members from the Xuanmen Association also came by, echoing Jiangli’s words.
Jiangli then had Xia Xin select a few more participants in succession.
The fortunes of the people now were basically quite smooth, but with a slight discomfort, they tended to come to Jiangli for fortune-telling.
The next few participants Jiangli saw were all .
After reading for the two of them, Jiangli plainly stated, "Fortunes always have their ups and downs—one period may bring good luck, another bad luck; it’s all normal. Aside from those whose fates are extremely favorable, those whom the heavens especially favor, the rest of us don’t vary that much. Don’t overthink it; what’s past is past."
[The Abbot really is different from other masters! When I encounter street fortune-tellers, they all tell me to buy talismans, things to ward off evil spirits.]
[I’ve had the same experience. Many masters told me to go to the temple more often, to pray and burn incense, to buy a peace charm to take home. But I felt, it was just a bit of bad luck, nothing too serious, and it passed without buying anything. Just like the Abbot said, don’t overthink it; after some time, it got better.]
[Right, we can believe in some of the cultural heritage our ancestors left us, but we shouldn’t become overly superstitious. Don’t run off to get your fortune told over every little thing—believe in yourselves!]
"Alright, there’s one spot left."
Jiangli glanced at the "Danmu" and asked, "Who else wants to take the last spot?"
The "Danmu" instantly sped up.
[Me, me, me, pick me!]
[Ah, ah, ah, the last one, it has to be me!]
[Please, pick me, I’ve been waiting for days!]
Jiangli was waiting for Xia Xin to select the last participant.
Xia Xin suddenly coughed.
Jiangli looked up, "What’s up?"
Xia Xin glanced at the live stream room and whispered, "Ancestor, our last remaining spot seems to have been reserved."
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
Xia Xin said, "Yun Xizi sent me a message just now. She says she wants to take a spot—not for herself, but for a fan friend. She hopes you will give her this favor."
Understanding the implication, Jiangli asked, "Is their situation very serious?"
Xia Xin nodded gravely, "Yes, Yun Xizi told me it’s a matter of life and death."
If it wasn’t that serious, Xia Xin wouldn’t have interrupted Jiangli’s live stream to insert a spot.
Xia Xin wasn’t someone who lacked discernment.
Upon hearing this, Jiangli turned to the people in the live stream and said, "The fifth spot for today has already been taken. I plan to have a private chat with them, so this is where the live stream ends. Until next time, if we get the chance."
