Xiao He unexpectedly gained a criminal cheat skill that allows him to learn all kinds of crime-related abilities.
—But the catch is, he has to keep “stabbing people” to stay alive.
<...Shen Jue is a ruthless and taciturn character. Xiao He only needs to stand in front of the chopping board, pick up the boning knife, and the coldness and arrogance in his eyes perfectly reflect Shen Jue's true nature.
Lin Yipeng was very satisfied, while Pu Rong was somewhat surprised.
Pu Rong had only seen videos of Xiao He using a boning knife before, but he didn't expect that the other party's acting skills were also very good.
This made Pu Rong even more excited for the upcoming filming.

"Thump, thump, thump—"
A few faint knocking sounds came from the dimly lit kitchen.
The ordinary-looking young cook put down his knife, looked expressionlessly at the window, and said in a cold tone, "Come in."
The next moment, a carefree swordsman dressed in black, a smile on his face, nimbly vaulted in through the window: "Brother Shen, long time no see—"
As he spoke, the young swordsman acted as if he were at home, casually picking up some fruit from the side and putting it in his mouth. He also deftly hooked a jar of strong liquor on the ground with his toe and put it in his arms. He then lazily leaned over next to Chen Jue and lay down on the wooden table next to him like an old man.
The whole sequence of movements was fluid and graceful. Before Chen Jue could even answer the swordsman's question, he had already lay down and was eating and drinking for free, as if he were the master of the place.
Shen Jue had a lot to say, but he didn't kick the person out. He simply picked up the boning knife on the cutting board again and silently began cutting the ingredients: "I've heard about what's been going on with you lately. People from both the martial arts world and the imperial court are hunting you down. You'd better be aware of your actions and not cause me any trouble."
Jiang Rushuai chuckled and downed a mouthful of wine: "That's too late. Who in the martial world doesn't know about our relationship? I'm afraid those people have already caught up with us."
Shen Jue lowered his eyes: "Then we'll have no choice but to throw you out."
Jiang Rushuai rolled his eyes, then said with a wronged expression, "But your inn hasn't been open for several days either, right? When people come, they'll stay at the inn, and the landlady's flowers will be saved."
Shen Jue remained silent, simply picking up the person and throwing him outside: "Tell the boss yourself."
Jiang Rushuai was thrown out of the window by Shen Jue, then landed lightly, tossed the wine jar back onto the windowsill, and said with a grin, "I understand, I won't thank you for your kindness."
Shen Jue rolled his eyes and slammed the window shut.
—With this, the first scene between Xiao He and Pu Rong officially came to an end.
"One take!"
Lin Yipeng reviewed the footage and then highly praised the two performers' abilities.
Pu Rong removed the harness from his body, smiled kindly at Xiao He, and looked more relaxed: "You cooperated very well."
Xiao He also gave him a thumbs up: "It's because Teacher Pu is so skilled."
Pu Rong performed the actions of vaulting through the window with one hand and hooking the wine jar with his foot in one continuous shot. The movements were very smooth and without any mistakes. Pu Rong also cooperated with Xiao He in throwing Xiao He away. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to appear so relaxed.
Thinking about it this way, Xiao He really felt it was a pity. With Pu Rong's skills, he should have shone brightly in martial arts films.
With the successful completion of the first scene, the morale of the crew gradually rose, and the filming at the inn went unexpectedly smoothly.
A busy day is spent shooting like this.
The crew members were all staying at a small hotel next to the film and television base. After returning to his room and washing up, Xiao He prepared to lie down and rest.
