The Patriarch's Livestream Goes Viral

The Grand Preceptor Yuan Feiming, who was said in unofficial histories to have loved and hated the last emperor of the Long Dynasty, though it was unclear whether he had ever truly existed, sat among the ruins a thousand years later. Facing the rising sun, he rolled his neck, stretched, and shook out his arms and legs.

With healthy limbs and sharp eyes, the Grand Preceptor welcomed his new life with delight.

He calculated the signs: today was auspicious, perfect for going down the mountain to reunite with an old acquaintance.

The debts of a past life were his to settle in this one. The Grand Preceptor needed to bring his precious boy home.

But when they met, how had the boy been put through so much that he was barely recognizable? He could hardly walk, was sickly and ill-fated, haunted by evil spirits and tormented by spiteful villains... The Grand Preceptor's heart ached for him. Clinging to the car door, he spoke plainly to the handsome man inside, whose expression was a complicated mix of emotions. "Take me home with you. From today on, your big brother will protect you."

To solve problems, he would need to accumulate merit. The Grand Preceptor calculated again. Oh, his livestream was going to be a huge hit.

That day, Blue Whale Live's "Science" channel welcomed its strictest father figure.

"Folks, don't miss out! The Grand Preceptor has come down from the mountain to read fortunes! Witness a miracle live!"

A successful tycoon asked for a reading: "Grand Preceptor, you've appeared! Lately, my mom keeps showing up in my dreams to beat me. What's going on?"

Yuan Feiming: "Your son isn't your son, he's your younger brother. Your wife isn't your wife, she's your mother."

Successful Tycoon: "Good grief! What is this family tree? Did my mom's soul transmigrate into my wife?"

Livestream viewers: "Whoa, that's exciting!"

A professional debunking streamer asked for a reading: "I've spent thirteen years exposing fakes and never lost. Hey, pretty boy, dare to PK me? If you get it right, I'll kneel and apologize. If you get it wrong, I'll get your account banned and kick you out of livestreaming."

Yuan Feiming: "Your toilet exploded this morning, your lunch delivery came with a twin-tailed girl, your instant noodles had no seasoning packet tonight, and at midnight your buddy made a passionate confession..."

Professional Debunking Streamer: "Stop, stop, stop! Bro, I'll kneel and apologize. Have mercy on me. I've really had the worst luck these past few days."

Livestream viewers: "Tell us more about that passionate confession."

A girl who thought she was being threatened asked for a reading: "Streamer, there have been dead rats, birds, and snakes right outside my door every day lately... Am I being stalked by some pervert?"

Yuan Feiming: "Did you save a little white cat on Mount Qianxue?"

Girl: "??? Was it a marinated duck? Wait, no, was it a sausage?"

Livestream viewers: "Sausage: Feed me peanuts!"

Later, once his merit was complete and his memories had returned, Yuan Feiming clasped the hand of the person beside him. "Want me to settle your debt for you?"

Note: This is not that kind of debt. The story does not involve any monetary transactions, creditor disputes, or other wealthy-family contract tropes.
