Seeing that Nan Xian had actually obtained the clue, Wei Zeling's expression changed slightly, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

Impossible! Nan Xian is only a year older than me, and I've never heard of her playing chess. How could she possibly win... The production team must have arranged it with this old man beforehand, so he would deliberately lose to her!

Yes, that must be it!

Thinking of this, her fists, which had been unconsciously clenched at her sides, slowly relaxed, and her expression returned to normal.

"Congratulations, Sister Nanxian! I didn't know you could play chess!" She offered her congratulations insincerely, then reached out to take the brocade pouch. "This prop is so beautifully made. Is it a clue? Can I take a look?"

Nan Xian dodged to the side and stuffed the brocade pouch into her pocket.

Wei Zeling's hand was outstretched in mid-air, frozen in place.

Nan Xian met her surprised look, tilted her head and smiled: "You probably haven't watched our show much, have you?"

She didn't know why she suddenly asked this, and after thinking for a moment, she lied and said, "How could that be! I really like 'Unveiling Ghost Stories'!"

Nan Xian raised an eyebrow. "If you've watched it, you should know that the directors of our show are all incredibly cunning, with more tricks than a mille-feuille. We're supposed to be working in pairs now, but who knows if it'll end up as a solo operation? So—for the sake of final victory, I have to keep this secret for now. Of course, if you get the clues yourself, you don't need to share them with me."

Wei Zeling hadn't expected her to expose her so directly, and with such an irrefutable reason—after all, Nan Xian had obtained the brocade pouch herself, and she hadn't helped at all.

So even if Nan Xian directly states that she is unwilling to share, no one will say she is wrong.

Wei Zeling was a little embarrassed, but she still forced herself to save face: "I know! I'm just curious about what's inside, and if I find any clues, I'll definitely share them with my partner immediately. Cooperation is the only way to achieve a win-win situation!"

Nan Xian almost burst out laughing: Do you even believe that yourself? Sharing clues... I'd be grateful if you didn't drag me down!

In her past life, Wei Zeling was able to quickly gain fame in China not only because of the popularity brought by "Unveiling Strange Tales", but also because of her well-timed marketing. Her performance in variety shows could be described as the internet buzzword "dumb beauty" in 2022, and it is still a kind of cute contrast now.

Especially in today's entertainment industry, most female stars prefer to package themselves as mature, intelligent, calm, and poised.

A stunningly beautiful woman like Wei Zeling, with a bright face and a hot figure, is actually a slow-witted and simple-minded gaming novice, which is quite eye-catching.

In her past life, Nan Xian always thought her "cute and silly" persona was a deliberately marketed persona, but now—

Nan Xian: Hmm, it doesn't seem like she's faking it.
