System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

After saying this, a series of images suddenly flashed through Yang Chen's mind.

When he first moved into the dormitory, Wang Hao was very enthusiastic and even offered him local specialties, but he was also a little reserved.

At this moment, the live stream chat also began to buzz with comments.

[Master, we can't just make things up without evidence. From what the young man said, his roommate doesn't seem like that kind of person, right?]

[It shouldn't be, right? You can know a person's face but not their heart; who can say for sure about these things?]

[That shouldn't be the case, after all, Xiao Yang said that his roommate's hometown is in eastern Sichuan, which is almost 3,000 miles away from western Sichuan and Chongqing. How could he possibly be involved in making Gu poison?]

[The beauty-obsessed kitten: Hmph, since the Taoist priest says so, he must be quite confident.]

[A woman's knife kills with her waist: Waiting for the Taoist priest to give the answer. If this isn't scripted, then the live stream content is incredibly captivating.]

Now all the pressure is on Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan nodded in response to the questions raised by netizens.

He looked at Yang Chen, who was still in a daze in the live broadcast room, and said, "There should be three mediums that resonate with the Gu worm. One of them is in your body, and the other is hidden in your pillow."

Chen Xuan spoke with absolute certainty.

Yang Chen was startled and quickly went to get the silkworm excrement pillow that his mother had sewn by hand.

In this situation, Yang Chen couldn't care less about the pillow; he took out scissors and tore the pillow apart.

After searching thoroughly, and witnessed by nearly 50,000 viewers in the live stream, Yang Chen indeed found a small object wrapped in red cloth inside the silkworm excrement pillow.

Yang Chen stared blankly at the red cloth bag in his hand, certain that it couldn't have been stuffed in by his mother.

He was there when his mother made this pillow for him.

"Taoist Master, what... what is this?"

Chen Xuan said, "Open it."

Yang Chen swallowed hard, somewhat hesitant.

After all, he was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid of such strange things, but since it concerned his future, he couldn't care less about his parents' expectations.

As the finger-sized red cloth bundle was untied, a folded yellow talisman appeared before everyone's eyes.

Once unfolded, the yellow talisman was covered with eerie black patterns and twisted lines.

Upon seeing the talisman, Yang Chen froze on the spot.

The live stream chat exploded with comments instantly.

[Damn, my face hurts! The Taoist priest was right!]

[A talisman? No, why does this talisman look so eerie? Can someone explain it to me?]

Yes, in the past, when Taoist talismans were taken out, they gave people a direct feeling of enduring righteousness, but the patterns and lines of this Taoist talisman make me feel scared just looking at them!

[My god, this is terrifying! The Wisdom-Stealing Gu... Could what the Taoist priest said be true?]

If this wasn't a script... I'd kneel down before the Taoist priest!

[The fact that everyone upstairs is kneeling is chilling, isn't it?]

Flowers bloom, bringing wealth and prosperity; [Wait a minute, the Taoist priest just said there are three mediums for this Gu poison: one inside Xiao Yang's body, one hidden in his pillow, so where is the third one?]

……

Not only were people asking questions in the live chat, but Yang Chen, the person involved, also looked nervously at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan nodded. "When is your roommate Wang Hao coming back to the dorm?"

"I had a terrible headache today, so the teacher told me to come back early to rest," Yang Chen said, glancing at his watch. "Wang Hao should be arriving at the dorm around this time."

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment,

"The third medium, as I suspected, should be hidden in your roommate's pillow, but don't worry, knowing where it is means we can take it out and destroy it anytime."

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Yang Chen became furious. Although he was usually very gentle, his family had already put a lot of effort into his college entrance examination.

"Master, what should I do? Should I report it to the teacher?"

Chen Xuan shook his head and remained silent; this was indeed a difficult situation to handle.

After all, Gu is still too fantastical for ordinary people.

"Are we just going to let him get away with this?" Yang Chen said angrily. "No, even if it's not for my sake, I have to tell the teacher about this so that he won't harm other classmates!"

As soon as he finished speaking, viewers in the live stream overwhelmingly supported Yang Chen's decision.

Yes, this kind of troublemaker cannot be allowed to live; he must be expelled from school!

[This is outrageous! Luckily, Xiao Yang drew a lucky bag this time, and luckily he met the Taoist priest who could see through it, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!]

Holy crap, that's actually quite chilling when you think about it!

[But this isn't a criminal case, it's a Gu worm?]

Family members, do you know where Gu worm talismans are found?

[Yes, this appears in novels and TV dramas. Do you think it would be effective for Xiao Yang to report the incident to the school with the talisman?]

[A newbie learning video editing: Hahaha, Yang, don't panic at all. I started screen recording as soon as Jiu Ge came on mic. Originally, I was just trying to get some traffic by editing and posting the video after Jiu Ge exposed the fake masters, but I didn't expect... hehe, I'm almost embarrassed to say that.]

[Damn, the person upstairs is a total jerk, you're really good at getting attention, hahaha!]

[Awesome buddy, you can totally edit out Yang's part from your screen recording and use it as evidence. With both witnesses and physical evidence, even if it's just superstition, I believe the school won't let Wang Hao off easily.]

[Hahaha, the traitor turned fan, damn, that's hilarious.]

……

Chen Xuan was both amused and exasperated by the comments in the live stream.

At this moment, Yang Chen looked at Chen Xuan and said, "Daoist Master, I would like to test Wang Hao one last time."

"You have a pure heart, and you are grateful for any help you receive. But sometimes you also need to be clear about the situation. If you get Wang Hao's talisman, you can burn it, dissolve it in water, and drink it to expel the Gu worms from your body."

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Yang Chen nodded as if he had made a decision.

Just at this time.

A concerned voice came from outside the dormitory door into the live broadcast room. Yang Chen quickly fixed his phone in one spot so that he could see Wang Hao's bed.

"Yang Chen, if it doesn't work, let's go to the hospital for another checkup. The college entrance exam is coming up soon, and we can't keep going like this."

After he finished speaking...

A dark-skinned, thin boy, a head shorter than Yang Chen, appeared in the frame. If one didn't know about the Wisdom-Stealing Gu beforehand, everyone would probably think that this person genuinely cared about Yang Chen.

However, after finding out, all the viewers in the live stream were terrified.

The perpetrator is so close yet disguises himself so perfectly. If you were in his shoes, would you have noticed?

Stunned by the truth, Yang Chen looked at Wang Hao expressionlessly and said, "Thank you, I've already eaten."

"Oh, I was worried you hadn't eaten, so I brought you your favorite pork rib rice."

Wang Hao placed the boxed lunch on the bed with a hint of disappointment, and Yang Chen followed his gaze to Wang Hao's pillow.

"By the way, Haozi, I've been having nightmares lately. I'm wondering if it's because my pillow is uncomfortable. How about we switch pillows tonight? If it really is because of the pillow, I'll buy a new one tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao's expression, which had been quite natural, inadvertently changed, and he said somewhat flusteredly,

"That won't do. I'm not only picky about the bed, but also about the pillow."

Yang Chen went up and punched Wang Hao, jokingly saying, "I knew you wouldn't lend it to me. I was just kidding."

Hearing this, Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief when Yang Chen wasn't paying attention.

However, the video taken by a phone fixed in a hidden corner was very clear, and all the netizens present saw this scene.

"By the way, Haozi, after the college entrance exam, I will go to eastern Sichuan to visit my parents. I should pass through your county. You have helped me so much during this time, I must pay a visit to thank you."

After saying that, Wang Hao's expression became unnatural.

Upon seeing this, Yang Chen felt utterly devastated, and at the same time, an overwhelming surge of anger welled up within him.

"What, you look down on me that much? I'm just passing through your area and you won't even let me come over for a bit? Are we even brothers?"

Wang Hao had never seen Yang Chen so angry, and he could only scratch his head and smile wryly.

"How can that be possible?"

"Actually, our family moved away from eastern Sichuan a long time ago."

"My new home is in my maternal grandmother's place in Sichuan and Chongqing."
