Many people following the Chen Family remembered the Cloud Barrier Technique.

But from memory, wasn’t that just special effects?

Some even wondered if they remembered wrong and quickly checked the comments section:

"What the heck, the Cloud Barrier Technique isn’t special effects?"

"The Patriarch Chen is about to perform special effects? Can someone tell me how to do that?"

"I shouldn’t be wrong, the Cloud Barrier Technique is special effects. I even thought it was fun and recorded a video back then."

"..."

No, I definitely didn’t remember wrong, it was just special effects.

Now the Patriarch Chen is going to perform the Cloud Barrier Technique?

Could it be that the Chen Family actually has magic?

Since it’s already been proven online that bad things happen to those who do bad deeds to the Chen Family, have they flipped the table on this?

Are they not pretending anymore?

Many people who started following the Chen Family later, or only recently, had little impression of the Cloud Barrier Technique and quickly searched their phones to figure out what was going on.

Then, many people’s memories came back.

The Cloud Barrier Technique special effect went viral for a while, with many people recording videos of the Cloud Barrier Technique special effects.

There was even a girl who claimed this was real magic and had witnessed the Patriarch Chen perform it with her own eyes. She even posted a video where the mist hadn’t fully dissipated, but when TikTok released the Cloud Barrier Technique special effect, no one believed her anymore.

Now the Patriarch Chen is actually going to perform this Cloud Barrier Technique!!!

Zhao Yuanyuan came across this video while on a break at work, and in an instant, she stood up, feeling a sense of vindication.

Back then, she uploaded a video saying the Patriarch Chen was using special effects to perform magic, saying she had witnessed it in person. She even spent 2000 yuan to promote it on dou+ to let people know the truth.

But as it turns out, speaking the truth didn’t gain her any credibility...

Seeing this video now, she didn’t hesitate and immediately took out her phone to record: "I said it back then; I saw with my own eyes the Patriarch Chen performing the Cloud Barrier Technique at the Chen Family’s Martial Arts Arena. Yet no one believed me, and now the Patriarch can’t continue and has to come clean."

She uploaded it to her TikTok, with the title: "The Patriarch Chen uses special effects to perform magic!"

After thinking for a bit, she opened dou+ again and spent another 2000 yuan to boost it.

This time, she had to make her point clear.

Because of her dou+ promotion, many people interested in this matter saw her video, and the comments section quickly filled up with remarks:

"Miss, I think I might have criticized you back then, and now I’m a bit confused."

"Seeing the Patriarch Chen about to perform the Cloud Barrier Technique has me puzzled too!"

"Is the Cloud Barrier Technique really not just special effects?"

"..."

This time, seeing these comments, Zhao Yuanyuan felt a sense of relief. These ignorant people had doubted her before, saying she was making a fuss.

Inside a tea shop in Linhe County.

Lin Nan (from Chapter 11) also noticed Zhao Yuanyuan’s video. He was one of the earliest people to visit the Chen Family.

Back when he took his family to visit, the Chen Family didn’t have many tourists, and at that time, the Patriarch Chen even performed Ancient Techniques, conjuring an apple for his son.

However, due to business issues afterward, he didn’t have the time to visit the Chen Family again, although he continuously kept an eye on them.

He knew about the Chen Family’s tourism development, how more and more tourists visited, and that the Patriarch Chen had become a web celebrity with over 2 million followers.

To be honest, this rapid development speed was astonishing. From a time when not many people in Linhe County knew about the Chen Family, not many don’t today.

In his social circle alone, he could see videos and photos of people visiting the Chen Family every day.

This time, the Chen Family’s National Style Event was something he bought tickets for; he planned to take his wife and children there again.

He hadn’t participated in such National Style events before and was unfamiliar with them, but since it’s happening right at his doorstep and it’s so lively, he naturally wanted to take a look.

Therefore, he also paid attention to the Chen Family’s performance schedule and naturally noted the Cloud Barrier Technique performance.

The Cloud Barrier Technique performance was scheduled for the third day of the Chen Family’s National Style Event.

Before, he had seen the special effects videos of the Cloud Barrier Technique, and his wife even took their kid to shoot a video with those special effects.

Now they’re telling him this Cloud Barrier Technique is real, and the Patriarch Chen is going to perform it?

But thinking about the Ancient Techniques the Patriarch Chen had demonstrated, conjuring an apple right in front of them, leaving them unable to tell how it was done, made him consider the possibility of the Cloud Barrier Technique... maybe...

The more he thought about it, the more surprised he became.

Online, with Xiaomi posting the performance schedule, interest in the Chen Family’s National Style Event heightened due to the Cloud Barrier Technique.

After all, the news videos released around the Chen Family lately seemed to suggest that the Chen Family genuinely had mysterious powers.

Now, with the Patriarch Chen preparing to perform a Cloud Barrier Technique proven to be only special effects, how could this not attract attention? Not surprise people?

Even many people started following the Patriarch Chen’s social media account.

At night, during dinner.

Chen Han looked at the continuous game notifications appearing in his mind:

[Congratulations, you have gained 1 reputation through the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror transmission.]

...

[Congratulations, you have gained 1 reputation through the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror transmission.]

The notifications kept coming in endlessly.

He then checked the related data in his mind:

Upgrade Requirements: 1. 200 million wealth (15.9132 million/200 million). 2. 1 million reputation (1.9556 million/1 million). 3. 10,000 wish power (362/10,000).

Then, the number of followers on the Patriarch Chen’s account:

2.69 million followers.

In a short time, the followers had increased significantly; after the National Style Event concludes, the number of fans should grow even further.

"Senior Brother, I need to tell you something," Xiaoyu said suddenly after finishing dinner.

"What’s up?" Chen Han asked curiously.

Xiaoyu explained, "We sold over 5,000 tickets for the National Style Event, but today, more than 130 people refunded their tickets. Some who booked a Feng Shui Room also refunded, and all of these were couples."
