Chapter 471 - 218: The Talisman Flew on Its Own! There Really Is a Red Line! (2)
Looking closely, the two of them widened their eyes and found that there was indeed a Red Line on their wrists, connecting to each other’s wrists.
The key thing was that this Red Line seemed to be completely connected, without a single knot, which was very magical.
Moreover, it appeared in their hands out of thin air after they bowed.
The two subconsciously looked at the Matchmaker God Statue, their mouths agape, was it... really here?
A couple couldn’t help but shout loudly: "Hahaha, the Red Line, there really is a Red Line, look, we’re true lovers."
The two held up their wrists, trying to show others the Red Line connecting their wrists.
But the people nearby obviously looked at the two in confusion.
"Did you see something on their hands? I didn’t see anything!"
"I didn’t see it either, are they joking with us?"
"Yeah, there’s nothing there!"
"..."
These comments made the two realize that only they could see it, right, the Patriarch Chen mentioned that it was only between couples that this worked, others couldn’t see it.
Chen Han, however, showed a look of puzzlement because he could clearly see the Red Lines on the wrists of those couples who bowed first.
Although the restriction was that the Red Line could only be seen between couples, he seemed to have an additional privilege; he could see the Red Lines on those people’s wrists.
It seems he was taking on the role of the Matchmaker God Envoy, and at the same time, he also discovered there were other notifications that just appeared in his mind:
[Congratulations, you have discovered an unblemished couple devoutly bowing to the Matchmaker God Statue!]
...
[Congratulations, you have discovered an unblemished couple devoutly bowing to the Matchmaker God Statue!]
Three continuous notifications, indeed, could be seen among the requirements of the Marriage Hall, and the condition of unblemished couples began to increase, becoming (3/50).
This truly surprised him, given his previous guess that such unblemished couples would be exceedingly rare in modern society.
Now, only a few people had bowed, and three had appeared.
It seems that among the visitors to the Chen Family this time, many take love and relationships seriously.
However, thinking about it, he could probably guess the reason: on the one hand, there were rumors online that you could tell if your partner was faithful and if they had cheated by visiting the Chen Family.
On the other hand, those with problems entering the Chen Family likely triggered the Minor Punishment, Major Warning, and had already left the Chen Family, leaving behind those without issues who didn’t trigger it.
So, it wasn’t surprising that the probability of unblemished couples was a bit higher.
"Everyone, don’t be puzzled, Patriarch Chen has mentioned it twice already: only couples can see the Red Line, others can’t." A tourist said, raising his and his girlfriend’s wrist: "You can’t see ours, can you? We have a Red Line on our wrists too, but we can’t see theirs either."
This finally sparked everyone, as they now understood what was happening. All at once, the surrounding tourists began to devoutly bow to the Matchmaker God Statue.
Sure enough, after bowing, many people excitedly shouted out:
"It really works, we have the Red Line too!"
"We have it too, what Patriarch Chen said is actually true!"
"..."
As more and more tourists expressed this, the Chen Family members exchanged glances, knowing that although the Chen Family was under the protection of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable, it now seemed to have another protective deity.
Although they couldn’t see the Red Lines in the hands of these tourists, their excitement was definitely not acted; they had surely seen something magical.
[Congratulations, you have discovered an unblemished couple devoutly bowing to the Matchmaker God Statue!]
...
[Congratulations, you have discovered an unblemished couple devoutly bowing to the Matchmaker God Statue!]
Chen Han also received similar notifications in his mind of unblemished couples bowing to the Matchmaker God Statue. As the surrounding tourists all bowed, he looked with delight at the number of unblemished couples.
It had already reached: 32/50.
This number was truly pleasing; with such a speed, as the Red Line matter was uploaded online, it would surely attract many couples to try it out.
The condition for unblemished couples could soon be fulfilled.
In his joy, Chen Han looked at those tourists bowing to the Matchmaker God Statue and clearly saw that many of them had a Red Line between them.
However, he also noticed that many couples didn’t have a Red Line between them.
For instance, this couple in front of him, although their hands were tightly clasped, had no Red Line between them.
That was odd; why didn’t these two trigger the Minor Punishment, Major Warning in such a situation?
The two seemed a bit embarrassed, as there was no Red Line, which surely indicated a problem.
The man immediately said, "Baby, I see the Red Line, do you see it? This Red Line!"
As he spoke, he gestured in mid-air at the position of his wrist, even deliberately showing it to the woman, as if there really was a Red Line.
The woman was even more embarrassed because she truly couldn’t see it, but at this moment, she definitely couldn’t admit it, so she quickly said in a sweet voice, "Honey, I see it, just this line."
Saying that, she too gestured her fingers at the imaginary Red Line.
Chen Han, bewildered, watched two people without a Red Line playing excitedly with the notion of a Red Line.
The Emperor’s New Clothes?
Good heavens, seeing is believing.
Chen Han roughly understood what was happening now; the two people must have been identified as a couple, and since there was no misconduct, they hadn’t triggered the Minor Punishment, Major Warning.
As for why there was no Red Line, the reason was simple: currently, a large portion of domestic marriages don’t involve deep feelings, especially those marriages arranged through matchmaking.
