A Little Bit of Metaphysics

The wealthy Cai family encountered a major scandal: the son they raised for eighteen years turned out to have been mistakenly swapped at birth. The impostor son grew up pampered, enjoying eighteen years of privilege, while their real biological son was raised in a remote mountain village where even traveling to the city required traversing rugged terrain. Rumors claimed he had never attended school a day in his life, becoming a self-proclaimed mystic at a young age. Videos of him allegedly swindling money through fortune-telling circulated widely online. Humiliated, the Cai family held no expectations for their biological son and treated him with disdain after bringing him home. Zhu Weisheng was born with an innate Daoist physique, fate-bound with scant familial ties, and was adopted by an elderly Taoist recluse deep in the mountains. From childhood, his master taught Zhu Weisheng humility: "Never grow complacent." So when others expressed astonishment that Zhu Weisheng could actually divine fortunes, he modestly gestured with his fingers: "Just a little bit." Later… "You can read feng shui too?!" Humble Zhu Weisheng: "A little bit." "What about ghosts? Can you catch them?" Ever-modest Zhu Weisheng smiled: "A little bit." But those who witnessed Zhu Weisheng’s fortune-telling, ghost-catching, and feng shui mastery froze in disbelief. Turns out, they misheard—what sounded like "a little bit" was actually "a hell of a lot!" Only the Cai family remained bewildered: "Wasn’t he supposed to be a fraudster?!"
