"Patriarch Chen, can we take a look at your bag?" A nearby tourist couldn’t help but shout.

Chen Han smiled and walked over to the tourist, opening the bag at the edge of the stage and handing it to them.

The tourist saw it and even reached inside to explore, but couldn’t find anything. The other tourists also gathered the courage to reach in.

But none of them could feel anything.

"There’s nothing inside."

"Indeed, and there’s no hole or anything like that."

"I couldn’t feel anything."

"..."

The tourists all spoke up, surprised and feeling very engaged.

What surprised them even more was when Chen Han reached into the bag again and pulled out a lotus flower and an apple, handing them to the tourist who had spoken earlier: "Welcome to visit the Chen Family."

This caused a complete uproar among the tourists.

Especially the ones who had checked before, they were astonished that Patriarch Chen could retrieve items from the bag again.

Are the Chen Family’s Ancient Techniques really that impressive?

With the performance concluding here, Chen Han also paused and cheerfully said to the surrounding tourists, "Thank you for visiting the Chen Family. My Ancient Techniques performance is over, it was very simple, I apologize if it entertained you."

The surrounding tourists were stunned upon hearing his words.

Very simple?

Are you sure?

But after saying that, Chen Han left, leaving behind tourists full of amazement, and entered the backstage.

His junior sister’s voice soon echoed again, announcing that Xiaomi would be performing a solo traditional dance next.

Originally, she wasn’t very good at dancing, but after consuming many medicinal meals at the Chen Family, she found her body becoming healthier, her flexibility improving, and she learned to dance easily.

Importantly, she found her figure seemingly getting better and didn’t know if it was from running around with Xiaoyu.

After all, Xiaoyu’s figure was also improving.

Evidently, she was unaware she was wearing a ring given by Chen Han.

A better figure meant dancing with more grace, so she started learning to dance.

"Where is everyone else?" Chen Han entered and found no one except Xiaomi, who was about to go on stage.

Xiaomi explained, "Lobster and Yaqian went to wash their faces, they were covered in ash, and others curiously went to see."

Chen Han laughed at these words, knowing it was the Appearance Talisman automatically applying makeup.

After Xiaomi went on stage, he once again looked at the game system in his mind, having completed the family quest of identifying the two demons.

Next, he needed to send the two demons back to the Thousand Illusion Swamp.

This task required careful planning; he couldn’t just tell Lobster and others to play in the pond like playing with mud.

The Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King truly had a crooked mouth, which was scary enough.

He left the backstage, intending to search the Chen Family for the remaining expert from Mercy Cloud Temple, who might be a wanted criminal.

If they were wanted, they must have committed significant crimes; their presence in the Chen Family would surely be unlucky.

However, he only found a couple of unlucky tourists, but they were just minor misfortunes, not the real target.

He had to keep searching.

This family task was so complicated that he felt he deserved a good reward from the game system.

...

On the performance stage, the show continued.

Even if Xiaomi’s dance wasn’t professional, her good physical condition and improved figure made her performance in the National Style dance appealing.

Ming Di continued to live-broadcast the performance on-site until the first day’s performance at the Chen Family ended, then he turned off the stream and returned to the village.

When he got back to his residence, he took out his computer and started editing the footage from today’s livestream, especially focusing on the scenes of Patriarch Chen’s Ancient Techniques performance.

Yet, when he finished editing, he discovered that the internet was buzzing with the topic of Patriarch Chen’s Ancient Techniques performance.

Moreover, a video titled "Patriarch Chen’s Magical Bag" had received numerous likes, shot by a National Style slice blogger.

This blogger had a decent following, usually filming National Style girls; today, clearly astounded by Patriarch Chen’s Ancient Techniques, he specially posted a video of it.

In the video, Patriarch Chen’s Ancient Techniques were truly unbelievable, pulling batches of lotus flower buds and apples from the bag to give to visitors.

But the quantity couldn’t have been hidden on him, and it was impossible to see how he made them appear, as if he really took them out of the bag.

Even the champion of the Southern Magic Tournament, who initially wanted to bask in Patriarch Chen’s fame, was so scared that he ran away.

Previously, many claimed Patriarch Chen’s Ancient Techniques were a result of video editing, but now he performed live in front of so many tourists.

The shock was unimaginable.

He instinctively glanced at the comments:

"All I can say is, WTF, there’s no way those things were hidden on Patriarch Chen."

"When I first saw Patriarch Chen’s Ancient Techniques video, I really thought it was visual effects, now I just want to say it’s genuinely awesome!"

"Has anyone considered if the Cloud Barrier Technique is real, could it mean Patriarch Chen really performed magic on the bag?"

"Can these really be explained by Ancient Techniques? I suspect Patriarch Chen is using Ancient Techniques as a cover to perform Magic!"

"..."

People online, seeing the video, were each surprised, and at the same time, increasingly anticipated the Cloud Barrier Technique.

Ming Di wondered if Patriarch Chen was seizing the opportunity to openly demonstrate his Magic.

However, with such a popular topic, he’d be remiss not to latch on, and quickly uploaded his own edited video.

Unfortunately, as time passed, his video didn’t gain much traction.

The narrative wasn’t unique enough; this Chen Family National Style Event was incredibly popular, with many releasing videos similar to his, such as that "Patriarch Chen’s Bag" video.

The popularity was shared, with everyone trying to capitalize on it.

Yet, with the Chen Family National Style Event’s high popularity, even just catching a fragment of the heat would be desirable—he couldn’t let this opportunity slip.

To best ride the wave of popularity, he had a strategy: create a scene.

This led him to focus on a house in Shangyuan Village, then opened the report from the villager he had arranged.

The person bought a pile of instant noodles, spending the whole day indoors.

When cleaning, they noticed the person’s ID card at the bedside seemed different from the registered one.

Most importantly, the person appeared highly cautious.

A villager, following his instructions, could gather so much information, proving them resourceful, not disappointing him as his runner.

Plus, given how they seemed unlucky at the Chen Family earlier, falling and hurting themselves might indicate some wrongdoing.

Thinking this through, Ming Di aimed his camera at that house, starting an abstract video: "Today, after lurking within the Chen Family for half a day, I report the situation of the Chen Family’s Demon Suppression Conference using the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror. Everyone saw how a slight display of strength from Patriarch Chen left people astounded, as well as the Baihua Palace Fairy’s surprising power."

"So, lurking within the Chen Family to seize the moment to create a disturbance, and also to rescue the Dog Demon King’s brethren, proves somewhat challenging, thus leveraging other forces to draw the Chen Family’s attention is necessary."

"I seem to have discovered a formidable Demon Expert also infiltrating the Chen Family, and for the sake of the Dog Demon King, this fellow Daoist will have to bear some harm..."
