When Ye Ming returned to the camera, he was dumbfounded by the barrage of messages flying across the screen.
"Holy crap! What's going on?"
Ye Ming's heart tightened, and only then did he see the microphone with its little glowing dots.
"Teacher Ye, what did you do to Goddess Qianxun?"
"Yeah! Hurry up and call the goddess out."
"Confess now, or I'll come through the internet and beat you up."
"Uh... Upstairs, Teacher Ye is a special-grade martial artist. Are you sure you can beat him?"
"Ahem! Pretend I didn't say that."
"??????"
...
Seeing the situation, Ye Ming had no choice but to resort to his amateur acting skills.
He had gained considerable experience in acting after successfully convincing his viewers last time that he and Nangong Qianyu shared a deep, unforgettable love.
"What are you guys talking about?" Ye Ming immediately put on a confused expression, his eyes slightly unfocused, looking at the camera with genuine bewilderment.
His expression and demeanor were those of someone completely clueless.
"??????"
"Teacher Ye, this is no fun. A real man should take responsibility for his actions."
"That's right. Just confess and it'll be over."
"Call Goddess Qianxun out here to face us."
"Don't look at us with that expression, or I might... believe you."
"Upstairs, watch your words."
...
Ye Ming found it difficult when they asked him to call Nangong Qianyu over.
Because at that moment, Nangong Qianyu was sitting opposite him, arms crossed, glaring at him.
It seemed she was still upset about Ye Ming taking liberties with her earlier!
Just then, Nangong Qianyu heard Ye Ming interacting with his viewers and roughly understood what was happening.
"It's all this scoundrel's fault!" Nangong Qianyu's pretty face flushed as she cursed softly.
Watching Ye Ming feign ignorance in front of the camera, sparring with his viewers, Nangong Qianyu suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
"Hmph! Since you helped me last time, I, this esteemed aunt, will be merciful and save you this once," Nangong Qianyu found an excuse for herself.
"Family, I am truly..."
At this moment, Ye Ming was still engaged in a fierce tug-of-war with his viewers, maintaining his bewildered expression.
With such acting, the viewers were almost convinced.
Just as Ye Ming thought victory was within reach, he saw Nangong Qianyu walk directly towards him, her face expressionless.
"Oh, crap!"
Seeing Nangong Qianyu like this, Ye Ming's heart sank.
"My dear aunt, please spare me!" Ye Ming was frantic.
He had barely managed to calm everyone down with his glib tongue. If Nangong Qianyu were to add fuel to the fire now, he would truly be unable to defend himself.
Just as Ye Ming thought all his efforts were in vain, Nangong Qianyu walked into the camera's view, wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered sweetly, "Darling, what's wrong?"
"???"
Ye Ming was stunned.
The viewers were also stunned.
"I..."
A faint, sweet scent of a young girl brought Ye Ming back from his daze.
"Ahem! It's like this, they're saying I bullied you. Since you're here, could you clarify things for me?" Ye Ming's adaptability was truly remarkable; he instantly regained control of the situation.
"Bully you?" Nangong Qianyu feigned confusion. "Was it because I sprained my ankle earlier, and they misunderstood?"
Uh!
Sprained her ankle.
At this, Ye Ming couldn't help but admire Nangong Qianyu's acting skills, which were on par with his own.
"That must be it!" Ye Ming agreed, following Nangong Qianyu's lead.
Then, he immediately turned to Nangong Qianyu and said gently, "You just sprained your ankle, don't stand around. Come and sit down quickly."
His gaze and tone were filled with care and affection.
"Mhm!" Nangong Qianyu nodded obediently, feeling an indescribable happiness.
Their sweet talk successfully sent the viewers into an existential crisis.
"I... I'm such a fool for pressing the issue!"
"Woof woof woof! Don't ask me why I'm barking."
"I was just about to eat, and now I'm full."
"Alas! It's all my own fault."
"Teacher Ye, I beg you, please start the cultivation class quickly! If this continues, I'll die."
"Agreed, start the class quickly, don't slack off!"
"+1"
"+10086"
...
Seeing that the storm had passed, Ye Ming began his cultivation class.
In his previous streams, Ye Ming had taught the entire content of the "Five Elements Source Induction Technique," enabling those with emotional tendencies to better sense the myriad things and advance towards the realm of sensing all things.
However, the world was vast and full of wonders.
Not everyone was suited for practicing the "Five Elements Source Induction Technique."
This was because some individuals lacked emotional tendencies.
These people could control their emotions exceptionally well, maintaining a balanced state of mind at all times.
Consequently, in the path of immortal cultivation, their progress was far beyond that of ordinary individuals.
In the inheritance Ye Ming received, there was a unique designation for such individuals, referred to as "Ling."
However, beings like "Ling" were incredibly rare, often one in ten million.
But even for this one-in-ten-million chance, Ye Ming was determined to pass down a cultivation method unique to the "Ling."
Even if only a single "Ling" managed to cultivate this method, it would play a crucial role in his future endeavors.
The immortal cultivation technique exclusively for "Ling" was named "Heart Source Induction."
The function of this technique, like the "Five Elements Source Induction Technique" before it, was also one of sensing all things.
However, "Heart Source Technique" concealed other elements within. These would only gradually reveal themselves as the "Ling" cultivated to a certain level.
"Alright, this is the cultivation method for those without emotional inclinations. If you are suited for this technique, believe me, by the end of your practice, you will make astonishing discoveries," Ye Ming urged after imparting "Heart Source Induction."
After all, the more people who could cultivate the "Heart Source Technique," the greater the chance.
"Wow! Why does this cultivation method Teacher Ye is teaching seem so simple, unlike before?"
"Exactly, there are hardly any movements."
"Alas! It's a pity I have a temper. Otherwise, I would definitely learn this set."
"Teacher Ye, now that you mention it, I think I'm quite suited for it, hahaha!"
"Shut up, upstairs! I know you. You just argued with the aunt downstairs yesterday."
"?????"
...
"It seems everyone is very interested in the cultivation method I'm teaching. I'm very happy! So, to thank you for your support, the surprise you've all been waiting for has arrived." Ye Ming said with a smile, looking at the barrage of messages.
As soon as he finished speaking, the viewers in the live stream exploded once more.
