Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 936: Chapter 455: Celestial Path Sect Tournament, Not a Beauty Pageant (Second Update)

Someone commented sourly, "...What’s the use of being good-looking? Folks, this is the Celestial Path Sect’s World Cup Master Competition, not a beauty contest!"

His comment quickly garnered a lot of agreement.

There’s a common misconception that "beautiful women lack brains."

If someone is too beautiful, they might be lacking in other areas.

That’s pretty balanced, isn’t it?

In most cases, this idea holds true.

But there are exceptions, like Lawrence Winters.

Besides, those who are sour don’t have to spend the rewards she receives, so they don’t really matter.

Let them talk, she won’t lose a penny.

And ever since they knew the live stream began the moment they boarded the plane, these people quieted down, especially Geomancer Master Wang.

Not long after, the host for this competition appeared.

He stood at the end of the aisle with a microphone to address everyone.

"To all contestants, judges, and viewers of the Celestial Path Sect’s APP, hello everyone."

"The 18th Celestial Path Sect World Cup Master’s first round of competition has officially begun."

"Now, as the plane approaches its destination, I can announce the competition topic."

"After announcing the topic, members from the Peony Group and the Peony Rose Group must each select a representative to draw lots."

Lawrence Winters listened intently, thinking, "Announce the topic and then draw lots?"

"Why do you have so many tricky operations?"

The host seemed to sense everyone’s confusion and flashed a smile with eight teeth, saying, "You’ll understand once I’ve explained."

He continued, "Here’s the commission we received."

"We’re headed to DC, the capital of this country."

"Besides New York’s Chinatown, DC’s Chinatown is the largest."

"Our client is a resident of DC Chinatown."

"Their daughter has been having frequent nightmares recently, leading to rapid weight loss, and she’s developed both psychological and health issues."

"Neither psychologists nor other doctors have been able to help, and it’s getting worse, to the point of her being in a coma."

"Someone recommended our Celestial Path Sect to them to see if we could use our techniques to help."

"However, within this household, there are two differing opinions."

"The father believes the daughter’s nightmares leading to coma are due to a problem in their living environment and wants a Geomancer Master to adjust the feng shui."

"But the mother thinks the daughter is being haunted by some demon creature and wants a Heavenly Master to exorcise."

Lawrence Winters: "..."

She blurted out, "...Weren’t spirits not supposed to exist since the founding of the country? Where do these demon creatures come from?"

Her words caused not only everyone on the plane but also the live stream viewers to burst into laughter.

In this tense atmosphere where breathing seemed difficult, her comment greatly eased the tension.

Kenneth Osborne looked up at the big screen TV, his lips curled in thought, "Only Nora can laugh at a time like this."

And squeezed in the live streaming room, lavishing Lawrence Winters with "Spirit Stone" rewards, Edward Foster had already become her top fan on the leaderboard, sending out a "Rare Spirit Stone."

In terms of props value, one "Rare Spirit Stone" is worth a real-world value of ten thousand dollars.

The live stream erupted in fireworks all over the screen, heralding the birth of the top rich list nicknamed "Nora’s Little Edward."

Kenneth Osborne glanced at the nickname, his breath paused.

If I’m guessing right, that’s Edward Foster, isn’t it?

Truly shameless...

His expression cooled down, picking up his phone, he started recharging to prepare to reward.

...

Meanwhile, on the plane, the host also chuckled for a while before jokingly saying, "...It’s true spirits shouldn’t exist post founding, but that’s only in the country. So many demon creatures unable to transform into spirits have since gone overseas to do so."

His words had everyone laughing again, almost unable to catch their breath.

Lawrence Winters didn’t laugh; she just widened her eyes, darker than most, and said in wonder, "...Really? Is that why there’s been a surge of bizarre incidents abroad these years? All sorts of strange creatures appear; sometimes it’s hard to tell who’s human and who’s a demon creature."

"...Uh..." The host was momentarily stumped by Lawrence’s question, stammering before saying, "I’m not from the Celestial Path Sect, so I don’t know what the truth is. I was just joking... No offense, Lawrence my friend..."

Lawrence Winters sighed slightly in disappointment, "Just joking, huh? I actually thought it was real..."

The host was almost led astray by her, the behind-the-scenes broadcaster coughed into the earpiece to help him regain focus.

He quickly pulled out a lot-drawing tube and said, "There are two sticks here representing the client’s two different choices. Each of you draw a stick, and that’s your competition topic."

"There can only be one outcome. Whoever can wake the girl the fastest and rid her of nightmares wins."

Geomancer Master Wang turned his eyes and raised his hand to ask, "Who goes first? What if both wake her at the same time, who gets the credit?"

The host laughed and said, "...That’s up to the judges’ scoring."

Lawrence Winters: "..."

Alright, finally understanding the importance of judges.

As they spoke, the plane had arrived at a small airport in DC.

Gazing at the clear view of Capitol Hill and the tall monuments nearby, Lawrence Winters sighed.

No wonder it’s the capital, there’s a regal aura.
