"No, impossible. All those matters were handled cleanly."
"And so much time has passed. The other party isn't some immortal; how could she possibly know? She must be bluffing me."
The Client's mother heard Yao Yao's blunt words, her heart filled with disbelief. But for some reason, she had an ominous premonition and for a moment dared not meet Yao Yao's eyes.
This guilty expression only further excited the netizens.
Yao Yao didn't keep everyone waiting long. She looked at the Client's mother and slowly began: "In the Client's Destiny Palace, there originally shouldn't have been the Wen Qu Star or the Wen Chang Star. Logically, he shouldn't have achieved academic success, much less had the chance to get into university."
"Yet, in reality, he was admitted to a top domestic university."
"Nothing comes from nothing in one's fate. For such a result to occur, you must have relied on an external force. And this external force is precisely the Yellow Immortal you claim wants to harm your precious son."
"It was you who arranged for it to help you cheat in the examination hall, allowing the Client, who originally had mediocre grades, to ultimately achieve a score far beyond anyone's imagination, successfully making it onto the prestigious list."
The Client's entire family was overjoyed with this outcome.
However, after their initial joy, regret set in. The Yellow Immortal's help wasn't free. To persuade it to assist them, they had boasted and made numerous grand promises. If they were to truly fulfill those promises,
all three families involved would likely suffer severe financial strain. Before their goal was achieved, they were deferential and respectful. But now that their objective was met, their intentions naturally shifted. After all, he'd already gotten into university. Could a cooked duck possibly fly away now?
Thus, the Client's family couldn't help but entertain the idea of reneging on their agreement.
However, they knew the Yellow Immortal was not to be trifled with, especially given its reputation among the Five Immortals, which was only marginally better than the universally reviled "Grey Immortal." Since it had put in the effort, it was bound to demand its rewards.
If they dared to refuse, the Yellow Immortal would surely bring chaos upon their entire family. To avoid leaving trouble for their family, the Client's family stalled the Yellow Immortal as much as possible, while secretly devising a solution that would benefit them without repercussions.
As luck would have it, just as the Yellow Immortal grew increasingly impatient and the situation became unsustainable, they coincidentally encountered a passing Xuan Master.
Upon learning of their predicament, the Xuan Master actually offered to help them deal with the Yellow Immortal. The fee he requested was less than a third of what they had promised the Yellow Immortal. The Client's family realized they could save two-thirds, which was a huge profit, so they agreed without a second thought.
However, they hadn't anticipated that the Xuan Master's "solution" meant directly suppressing and killing the Yellow Immortal. If it could have been killed without any lingering consequences, that would indeed have been a good thing.
But that Daoist priest was clearly not proficient enough in his cultivation. Although he ultimately killed the Yellow Immortal, he himself suffered severe injuries and passed away not long after.
Before its death, the Yellow Immortal also realized that this was a scheme orchestrated by the Client's family. Under the weight of accumulated anger and resentment, it desperately sacrificed its own flesh and blood before dying, using it to curse the Client: that calamities would ceaselessly befall him, and he would not die a peaceful death.
Ordinary spirits do not possess such methods. Only a House Immortal, like the Yellow Immortal, which has achieved a certain level of cultivation, can do so. They are beloved by heaven and earth. Killing them will undoubtedly incur the displeasure of heaven and earth.
Once this displeasure reaches a certain stage, an extreme situation will arise where "even drinking a mouthful of cold water feels like it's getting stuck in your teeth." This is the effect of being forsaken by heaven and earth.
The Yellow Immortal's dying resentment coalesced, and the karmic backlash acting upon the Client had already begun to manifest. It won't be long before he meets a violent end. His current erratic behavior is actually influenced by the Yellow Immortal's fragmented and chaotic soul.
The power of the curse carried the Yellow Immortal's lifelong cultivation, along with the hidden will of heaven and earth. It was several times more difficult to deal with than the living Yellow Immortal itself. This is also why the Client sought out many masters, only for all their efforts to come to naught.
As Yao Yao revealed everything without reservation, the netizens were utterly stunned.
[Holy crap, I thought the Client was the victim! Good heavens, this is literally repaying kindness with enmity!]
[No wonder the Master was so angry. Isn't this just the classic tale of the farmer and the snake?]
[They want their cake and eat it too, being both greedy and hypocritical. It's truly deserved. Thankfully, the Master saw through this wicked person's true nature beforehand. Otherwise, actually helping such a person would be utterly sickening to even imagine.]
"Some people's skin is thicker than a city wall, and they actually still have the nerve to ask for help here."
"Don't look around, I'm talking about you! My sister won't help you. You'd better start making arrangements for your son's funeral!"
Gu Yu couldn't stand it anymore either. He had always spoken without restraint, and now, the Client's mother's shamelessness infuriated him. For a moment, he couldn't control his tongue and started cursing directly.
Apparently provoked by the words "funeral arrangements," the Client's mother immediately became hysterical.
"How dare you accuse me? It was clearly that Yellow Immortal who was asking for an exorbitant price! If it hadn't demanded so much, how would we have reached this point? It was its insatiable greed; it deserved this calamity!"
"And you! What kind of damned Master are you? Seeing someone die and not helping? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"I'll find a way! My child will be fine! You petty villains, I won't let you see me as a laughingstock! Never, ahhh!"
At this moment, the Client's mother's face grew increasingly distorted and ferocious, making her practically unrecognizable compared to before. Her hysteria was truly an eye-opener for the netizens.
Yao Yao glanced at the Client's mother and said coldly, "Karma is a cycle. If you had never entertained the thought of cheating on the exam in the first place, how would there have been the subsequent killing of the Yellow Immortal and the resulting curse backlash?"
"It was clearly your own greed that consumed you, yet you blame others for taking an inch and wanting a mile."
This was also what Yao Yao found most incomprehensible. The power of spirits and deities is taboo not because of the entities themselves, but because of the human greed of those who seek their help. To make a deal with such entities is inherently self-destructive; how can one even speak of fairness or satisfaction?
[The Master is right! You cheating scoundrels actually have the nerve to say that?]
[You stole answers and used illicit means to snatch away opportunities that rightfully belonged to others. Is it any wonder the rightful owner feels wronged?]
[Indeed, when it comes to themselves, people always find reasons for lenient treatment. It's truly laughable.]
The netizens couldn't help but think of the person whose spot was stolen by the Client. That person had toiled diligently for twelve years, only to have their rightful place snatched away by a conniving individual. How could one not feel regret and indignation over this? Moreover,
because of this wrong turn at a crucial fork in their life's path, that person's future life might undergo drastic, world-altering changes. Who would be responsible for such a consequence? No one could be held responsible; the individual would only have to bear this pain themselves. This perfectly exemplified the saying: "A pitiful person often has hateful qualities."
And since the Master was unwilling to help, she naturally had her reasons. The netizens did not blame her; on the contrary, they offered unanimous support and understanding.
Perhaps because the entire livestream chat had become a united front, no matter how unwilling the Client was, they could only meekly disconnect.
