"Hello, what would you like to see?" Zhao Yan asked.
The young man chuckled, "I'm not here to read fortunes or tell fortunes today."
"Oh? If you're not looking, then I'll hang up," Zhao Yan said.
As Zhao Yan reached out to end the call, the young man immediately said, "Don't hang up, Master. Although I'm not here to read fortunes or tell fortunes, I just want you to help me look at something."
"And let the viewers in the livestream have a look too."
"What is it?" Zhao Yan asked softly.
The young man turned, got into his wheelchair, and after about two and a half minutes, he held up a wooden box.
"This is an antique my dad personally collected. He just wants Master to help him figure out what it is. My dad was very fond of it when he bought it, often taking it out to look at for hours."
Zhao Yan propped her chin on her hand, "Alright, then open it and show us."
The young man opened the wooden box and took out a bronze statue, which was tightly wrapped in red cloth.
Zhao Yan thought it was some old antique and figured since she had been chosen, she should take a look.
As she looked closer, Zhao Yan lowered her hand from her chin, her eyes fixed on the bronze statue, her expression becoming serious.
"Turn the back of the bronze statue around," Zhao Yan said.
The young man turned the back of the bronze statue.
It was another bronze statue, two statues stuck tightly together. The statue had six arms, and two black and white snakes were tightly coiled around it.
The young man grabbed the red cloth on the bronze statue and was about to pull it off.
"Don't! Stop immediately!" Zhao Yan exclaimed.
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, the young man looked at her in confusion.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Zhao Yan said sternly, "My friend, you really shouldn't collect this bronze statue. Hurry and have your dad find a good place to bury it, lest you invite trouble. This thing is a burial object, used to suppress the yin energy of the deceased. It's been buried with the deceased for a long time, and this thing is extremely sinister. There might be something hidden inside the bronze statue."
"Holy cow! Master, don't scare me!" The young man shivered with fear and immediately placed the bronze statue on the table.
"Why would I scare you? It's best to deal with it as soon as possible. Also, absolutely do not remove the red cloth from the bronze statue. That red cloth is used to restrain what's inside," Zhao Yan said.
"My dad bought this from an old antique shop. My dad said a master had blessed it, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Zhao Yan replied, "This thing isn't blessed at all, at most it's for warding off evil. The master you mentioned probably just covered the statue's eyes with the red cloth, which also suppresses evil. To be precise, this red cloth is a monk's kasaya, which has the effect of suppressing evil."
Speaking of which, Zhao Yan said softly, "Did you sprain your leg?"
The young man nodded, "Yes, I sprained my ankle. I misstepped on the stairs when I went to my dad's company and fell, spraining it."
"This is somewhat related to that thing," Zhao Yan said softly. "Deal with it as soon as possible."
The young man immediately nodded, "Okay, okay, okay. I'll tell my dad when he gets back and we'll deal with this thing quickly."
Zhao Yan hummed, "You must do it quickly."
"Thank you, Master," the young man said.
A few seconds later, he sent another super rocket.
"You're too kind, thank you for the super rocket from Hua Hao Yue Yuan, thank you!" Zhao Yan clasped her hands in gratitude.
"Master, it's my birthday today, can you wish me a happy birthday?" the young man asked.
"Happy birthday, I wish you a wonderful day," Zhao Yan said.
After speaking, Zhao Yan hung up.
Three fans had finished their lucky draws. Zhao Yan chatted with the viewers in the livestream for a while before closing the broadcast.
"Sister Zhao, five talismans were sold, plus the livestream gifts, that's 4,500. Half goes to the platform, which is 2,250. Add the 5,000 yuan from the talismans, that's 7,250 yuan today," Wu Jiaxin calculated and said to Zhao Yan.
"7,250 yuan, that's not bad!" Zhao Yan smiled.
She had been worried about next month's car loan just now, and today she had earned 7,250. No wonder influencers earned so much.
"Sister Zhao, that young man's bronze statue looked quite beautiful, with patterns on both the front and back," Wu Jiaxin asked. The first time she saw it, she thought the statue must be very valuable.
Zhao Yan replied, "It looks beautiful, but this thing is very sinister. It was suppressed by the red cloth. When I first saw it, I felt uncomfortable."
Listening to Zhao Yan's words, Liu Tan felt uneasy. He sat on the sofa, looking at the bronze statue on the table. He had followed Zhao Yan for a long time and hadn't missed a single broadcast. He naturally knew that Zhao Yan had real skills. The more he looked at the bronze statue, the more uneasy he felt. He wasn't sure if Zhao Yan's words had triggered a psychological reaction.
"Forget it, I'll tell my dad about this when he gets back," Liu Tan said, no longer paying attention to the bronze statue on the table. He returned to the sofa and watched Zhao Yan's livestream. When he saw that Zhao Yan had ended the broadcast, he scrolled through short videos until past seven o'clock.
There was a knock on the door. Liu Tan thought his dad had returned. His parents were both busy people and often didn't come home for days at a time. He got up and walked to the door, opening it. He saw three men and two women standing at the door. Before he could speak, a girl said, "Happy birthday, Young Master Liu."
Seeing that they were all holding cakes, Liu Tan smiled with relief, "Good heavens, I thought you guys were ignoring me, but you were planning to celebrate my birthday."
"Of course! Your foot is sprained, so it's not convenient to go out. We thought we'd come to your place to celebrate. Anyway, your parents are often not home," a young man chuckled.
Liu Tan opened the door, and the five of them walked in.
"Chuchu, can you stay tonight?" Liu Tan whispered to one of the girls.
The girl blushed and nodded, "Mm."
Liu Tan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly beckoned, "Ajie, my legs are inconvenient. Help yourselves to drinks from the refrigerator. There's plenty of alcohol on the table."
Another girl placed the birthday cake she was holding on the table. She immediately noticed the bronze statue on the table, picked it up, and held it in her hand, saying, "Young Master Liu, what is this?"
Liu Tan slapped his forehead, having forgotten to put it away. "It's an antique my dad bought. This thing is very expensive."
"Oh really? Let me see what can make Young Master Liu say it's expensive." As she spoke, her hand landed on the red cloth.
