Noticing Scarlett Jennings’s gaze, the livestream cameraman quickly turned the camera to the place she was looking at.
"Oh wow, whenever my girl glances over, I know there’s definitely something going on with that person!"
"Isn’t that the guardian of the ginseng? Don’t ask me how I know."
"Scarlett Jennings: Sigh, figured out the answer at a glance again, this episode’s not even difficult."
"Just waiting for my girl to reveal the correct answer."
Since the guests had split up, the livestream naturally followed suit, and Scarlett Jennings’s stream was quite harmonious.
Even if one or two trolls popped up, they were quickly brushed away by the barrage of comments.
Ariel Zimmerman also noticed Scarlett Jennings’s gaze, looked in that direction, and then whispered,
"Scarlett, did you see something? Is there something on him?"
The guardian of the ginseng, Mr. Lin, was quite nervous at this moment.
Although the village chief said there were real experts in the "Inspiration" program crew, he always felt that those who participated in such programs were fake experts.
Especially seeing these two obviously delicate-looking girls in front of him, they didn’t seem capable at first glance.
But strangely, when the younger-looking one of them looked over at him, he felt a subtle sense of pressure.
Especially when he heard the other one ask if there was something on him, the pressure grew stronger.
Thankfully, Scarlett Jennings just glanced at him and said straightforwardly,
"Relax, there’s nothing."
She paused and added, "And no Mountain Deity either."
The Woods Family quietly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard there was nothing, but felt a bit complicated hearing there was no Mountain Deity.
People who lived by the mountains more or less had expectations and reverence for such beings as the Mountain Deity.
In their village, they always offered sacrifices to the mountains during festivals.
It’s a rule passed down by ancestors: we receive gifts from the Mountain Deity, and we must not forget gratitude so the Mountain Deity can protect them for a long time.
When the village was previously disturbed, and the mountain guard was inexplicably thrown down the mountain, the villagers wondered if it was because the Mountain Deity felt their offerings were insufficient.
But even after they increased their offerings, the strange occurrences didn’t decrease.
They genuinely didn’t know why.
"Girl, can you see something? Do you know what’s going on here?"
Mr. Lin couldn’t help but ask first. He didn’t know what to call this clearly just-adult girl, so he called her "girl" out of habit.
Ariel Zimmerman couldn’t help laughing at this address, but Scarlett Jennings wasn’t bothered. Seeing that Mr. Lin and his family were keen to know the answer, she only said,
"I did sense something unusual, but I can’t say what exactly yet; we’ll know after investigating."
They had just arrived, so even if they wanted to investigate, it wasn’t something that could be done right away.
Though the Woods Family was a bit disappointed, they still welcomed them warmly into their home, playing to their village’s hospitable nature.
These two girls truly were beautiful—they were indeed celebrities.
