Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 414 You have two faces, girl.

The shout had an immediate effect. The crowd, who had been fighting each other and wishing they could die together, all stopped arguing and turned to look in the direction of Xi Jingyue's family.

The Xi family members, who suddenly became the center of attention: "..."

As everyone could see, the incense from Xi Jingyue's family had already been successfully placed in the incense burner while everyone else was still struggling with the first accident, and it had been burning for a while now.

"Is your incense alright?"

The five members of Xi Jingyue's family exchanged glances, knowing that the current situation was somewhat unfavorable, but still answered truthfully: "Yes, it's nothing."

The elders who had just taken the incense immediately gathered around and stared at the incense in the incense burner for a long time.

The uncle spoke first: "Did you bring your own incense?"

Upon hearing this, the eldest uncle's face darkened again. This old codger still hadn't given up!

Fortunately, what Uncle Xi said next completely shattered his hopes: "No, we use the same ones as you, we just received them at the ancestral hall."

The uncle pursed his lips, still somewhat unwilling, and gave one of the younger members a wink.

The other party understood and quickly stepped forward to check the remaining half pack of incense on Xi Jingyue and the others' side. Indeed, from the packaging to the contents, it was exactly the same as the several packs of incense on their side.

Just then, Xi Yanjia, who had been hiding behind the crowd and hadn't said much, said quietly, "How can it be such a coincidence? Everyone else's incense has a problem, but only Grandpa's pack is fine. Could it be that among all of us descendants, only my cousin Jingyue is favored by our ancestors?"

These words were incredibly offensive and implied that Xi Jingyue's family had tampered with the incense to promote Xi Jingyue.

Xi Jingyue keenly sensed that all the young people present had their eyes fixed on him in an instant, sharp as knives, as if they wanted to tear him apart alive.

We're all descendants of the same ancestor, so why should you be recognized by them? Regardless of whether this is true or not, even if it were true, they would never admit it!
Feeling that their elders had previously caused them great embarrassment, the group decided to take the half-pack of incense from Xi Jingyue's family, light it, and try to worship again. As expected, they still couldn't escape the result of the incense burning out completely.

"This..." Seeing this scene, several elders who were already somewhat superstitious were truly frightened.

Could it be that our ancestors are showing their spirits from the underworld and have some dissatisfaction with them, their descendants?
"What should we do? Are our ancestors dissatisfied with us? Or has one of you done something to offend them, making them so angry that they no longer want to talk to us or accept our offerings?"

Who would dare to answer that? Offending the ancestors would bring about strange phenomena and make a fool of themselves during the family's ancestral worship ceremony.

This charge is too serious. Once it's pinned on them, they can never clear their name. If word gets out, who would dare to cooperate with them? This is clearly an attempt to cut off their livelihood and take their lives!

For a moment, everyone fell silent, like quails.

After an unknown amount of time, that familiar voice rang out again from the crowd: "If our ancestors are not at peace in the afterlife, it's possible that something bad happened to them underground. Shouldn't we send someone to take a look, so that everyone can have peace of mind?" As soon as these two voices came out, everyone's eyes were immediately focused on them.

[Good heavens, it's you again! Not only do you hide in the shadows and watch quietly, but you always pop up at crucial moments to stir things up. You're just stirring up trouble! The Xi family is truly blessed to have you!]

Xi Jingyue's heart stirred slightly. He turned his head and saw that Du Anrao and the others had approached sometime earlier. Each of them was holding a handful of melon seeds and standing in a row behind the crowd, cracking them one by one.

Xi Jingyue: "..." You really treat their family's farce as entertainment, huh?

Xi Yanjia's words also served as a reminder to the several terrified elders: "Yes, yes, it must be that our ancestors wanted to tell us something, which is why they had no choice but to choose such a slightly extreme method. We need to find a master to come and take a look as soon as possible so that we can find out what our ancestors wanted to tell us."

This statement was agreed upon by most of the people present, but finding a master to come over in such a short time was a thorny problem.

Just then, someone else chimed in with a reminder: "What's there to worry about? Didn't my cousin Jingyue bring a master over today to help look at the feng shui of our ancestral graves? Since she's a capable master, she can look at feng shui, so she should be able to figure out something about this little mishap we've encountered today, right?"

Xi Jingyue's heart skipped a beat, and Old Master Xi and the others also instantly realized that something was wrong, and their eyes became more inquisitive as they looked at Xi Yanjia and her brother.

Du Anrao paused in his eating of melon seeds, never expecting that there would be a risk of being accidentally injured while eating melon seeds.

Help! How did this topic suddenly shift to her?
The elders of the Xi family were also somewhat surprised to hear this. They turned to look at Xi Jingyue's family, and the doubts they had managed to suppress not long ago resurfaced.

"Grandpa, is what the third son's child said true? Did you really invite a master to come and look at the feng shui of the ancestral graves?"

Grandpa Xi didn't speak, but Grandma Xi said with a smile, "Our relative's child grew up in a Taoist temple and learned some subtle skills. He just happened to have some free time to come and join us in the fun. If you really want to figure out what happened today, it would be better to invite a famous master. The child is too young and I'm afraid he can't live up to your expectations."

The old lady saw things clearly. Today, only their family hadn't run into any problems during the ancestral worship ceremony, which already attracted attention. Pushing Du Anrao out now would not be good for either them or Du Anrao.

If things aren't handled properly, the blame might fall on Du Anrao, so her first instinct was to refuse.

However, Xi Yanjia and her brother were unwilling to let them off so easily and were determined to make Du Anrao steal the limelight.

"Grandma, you're being too modest. This Miss Du is a well-known internet celebrity master. Just a clip from her live stream can garner tens of millions of views, and she gained millions of followers in just a few days. She's a true master in every sense of the word."

Xi Yanjia's words were as sarcastic as ever, and Xi Jingyue and the others' expressions darkened slightly. Just as they were about to retaliate, they heard a small commotion coming from Du Anrao's side.

【Um? 】

[Tens of millions of views, millions of followers? How come I, the person involved, have no idea about this? Could someone be impersonating me online?]

Everyone: "..." Isn't your focus a little off?
[I wonder who was openly or subtly saying before that I was young, inexperienced, and incompetent, only good at showing off and deceiving the masses? And now, after such a short time, I'm a real master again? Good grief, you two-faced girl, huh?]
