Chapter 138: Chapter 138: The First Fated One, Tracing Past Memories

“Before we draw, I have some good news to tell everyone!”

“This time, in addition to the usual divination, we’ll also be offering five lucky draw slots at the end of the live stream. The prize for the lucky draw is a Peace Talisman personally made by Yaoyao. It protects your home and ensures peace, absolutely no falsehoods.”

At this point, Gu Yu, sitting to the side, saw that the atmosphere in the live stream was just right and smoothly announced the long-prepared event.

This made the netizens even more excited than before.

[Holy cow, they’re actually giving away Peace Talismans? I’ve wanted to ask for one in the live stream for ages, but the Master never mentioned it, so I never dared to ask. Now the Master is actually giving them away in a draw, boohoohoo, I’m literally going to cry, this is such an amazing benefit, quick, quick, leak me the inside info!]

[Upstairs, I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t be. I’m older, so I’ll go first.]

[Too few, five is way too few! When’s the draw? I need to stand on my router for better speed.]

Clearly, the netizens’ desire for the Peace Talismans was mostly within Gu Yu’s prior expectations. When he saw comments complaining about the limited quantity, Gu Yu paused, then chuckled, “These are sample benefits, so the number of draws is small.”

“If anyone needs one, you can go to Fiery Cloud Abbey offline to request it. I’ve pinned the address in the comment section; they’re all genuine and effective.”

[Lu Tai County, Huang Qing City? Just searched it, it’s not far from me, yay! Whether I win the draw or not after the live stream, I’m definitely going.]

[Looking at the map info, it’s actually a small abbey. This shocks me for a hundred years!]

[Boohoohoo, I envy the sisters who live close by. As a working person, I have no days off and it’s too far, it’s heartbreaking!]

Gu Yu saw that everything he wanted to promote had been said, so he no longer paid attention to the discussions in the comment section. He nodded to his sister, signaling her to continue the live stream.

“Then let’s connect with our first fated viewer!” Yaoyao responded softly.

Her small face was full of smiles. She saw many people in the comment section discussing the abbey. Although most of it was because of her, overall it was a good thing. Seventh Brother had said this was called “buzz” or “popularity.” If the buzz was high enough, even pigs could fly, let alone their Fiery Cloud Abbey, which was already very powerful.

Yaoyao secretly felt excited in her heart, but she knew she couldn’t delay important matters. She quickly composed herself and connected with the first fated viewer.

“Hello, Uncle, is there anything you’d like to ask about?”

The first fated viewer was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a square, dignified face. Because of his age, there were many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which not only didn’t detract from his appearance but instead gave him a sense of refined maturity. From the background, he seemed to be in a private room at a high-end hotel.

“Hello, Master!” The fated viewer reached out and smiled a greeting, but a closer look would reveal the awkwardness on his face. He couldn’t be blamed for this; after all, he was a man nearing fifty, yet he was calling a three-year-old child “Master.” It somehow felt inexplicably shameful. However, he had no choice. Coupled with his good friend’s strong recommendation, he could only brace himself and decide to give it a try.

He settled his voice and said, “To be honest with you, Master, I’m not here for a fortune reading. I’m here today to ask for your help in finding back thirty years of my past memories.”

“I want to know what exactly I’ve forgotten from my past.” The fated viewer’s eyes flashed with a hint of determination. In recent years, he had been tormented and overwhelmed by those unfamiliar yet familiar fragments of memory. Unlocking those forgotten pasts had become his obsession.

However, how easy was it to trace the past? The fated viewer had spent a lot of money on this, visiting many so-called “masters” rumored to be powerful, but all had yielded no results.

The money wasted in this pursuit amounted to at least several hundred thousand, and even his friends secretly mocked him as a fool. However, he didn’t regret it. Just like this time, if there were no results, he would continue searching. At most, he would just be disappointed one more time.

Upon hearing the fated viewer state his purpose, the netizens were amused. Many in the live stream sought people, but this was the first time someone was looking for memories.

[Looking at the fated viewer’s attire, he should be a successful person who has achieved fame and fortune, yet he’s playing this game of tracing the past? I don’t know why, but this plot feels very familiar, but I can’t quite place where I’ve seen it.]

[Upstairs, stop trying to recall. Isn’t this just the classic amnesia trope of a domineering CEO in some novel? It’s just that the fated viewer is a bit older.]

[Holy cow, you’re right, it’s exactly like the synopsis of some must-read novel! The fated viewer is the middle-aged version!]

[So next, is the fated viewer going to meet his youthful first love, and then have a romantic twilight romance? Oh my god, just thinking about it is exciting! Master, quick, tell the fated viewer, is his first love about to arrive!]

Yaoyao glanced at the boisterous comment section, then her gaze fell on the fated viewer. She was observing his facial features, but the more she looked, the stranger her expression became. Eventually, her two eyebrows furrowed together.

[Oh no, the ’something-bad-is-about-to-happen’ expression has reappeared!]

[This fated viewer’s situation is a high-stakes game. Now it’s my worldview’s turn to be tested.]

“Master, is there some difficulty here?”

The fated viewer’s heart sank when he saw her expression. ’As expected, is there still no hope?’ He had seen that expression too many times, and the results were, without exception, that they were powerless regarding his past. The fated viewer sighed. He didn’t want to make things difficult for the Master either, especially since she was different from the ones he had encountered before. Her age was simply too young, and his request was indeed a bit demanding.

So, just as he was about to give her an easy out, he heard her childish voice sound in his ear.

“It’s not that there’s difficulty, but rather that the person who can resolve your confusion has already arrived. Yaoyao won’t need to help you recall it yourself.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the fated viewer was stunned, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

Yaoyao smiled and explained, “Uncle, you probably don’t know what you’re here to do today, do you?”

The fated viewer’s expression stiffened, then he looked somewhat embarrassed. To be honest, if the Master hadn’t reminded him, he really would have forgotten.

It turned out that he was here today to meet the parents of his daughter’s boyfriend. This child had been secretly dating for three or four years and was now pregnant, suddenly announcing she wanted to get married. This caught him somewhat off guard.

Still, out of concern for his unborn grandchild, despite being furious at the young man who had “stolen his prized cabbage” (a Chinese idiom for a daughter), he still personally arranged a banquet to discuss the marriage with the other party’s parents.

At the very least, he couldn’t let his daughter suffer a disadvantage. After all, getting pregnant before marriage was inherently a great disadvantage for a girl. That’s why he decided to show up today; he had to stand strong as his daughter’s backing. Even if she wasn’t born to him and his wife, he had still raised her himself.

But what did this have to do with his past?
