119 Chapter 119

Because investors spent a lot of money on the filming of this movie, Zixiao couldn't delay it for too long. However, in two or three days, she would take all the actors here back to the sect to film.

"Elder Youlan should be here soon, Young Sect Master, don't worry. Although you and your political views differ, she's a very gentle person. You should get along well. The Sect Master said he'll find a reason to transfer her back in about two or three months."

At the departing flying boat dock, Zixiao gave Ning Shu a worried warning, fearing that Ning Shu might become too comfortable and then clash with Elder Youlan again. "Don't be too radical for the time being. If you have any questions, wait until I finish filming and come back."

"I know my limits. Don't worry, Sister Zixiao." Ning Shu nodded obediently, "I've met Elder Youlan many times before. She's not a stranger. We won't quarrel!"

"You..." Zixiao wanted to give her a few more words of advice, but the flying boat bound for the Hehuan Sect had already landed. Elder Youlan, dressed in a light blue dress, floated down from the flying boat onto the dock. Ning Shu caught a whiff of the faint fragrance of orchids and immediately raised her hands high in a wave, greeting her: "Sister Youlan! This way!"

Elder Youlan's appearance wasn't particularly outstanding in the Hehuan Sect, which was filled with beautiful women, but she possessed a very serene and elegant demeanor. Her expression was expressionless, revealing neither emotion nor anger. She knelt slightly in greeting, "Greetings, Young Sect Master."

"You don't have to be so polite, Sister Youlan." Ning Shu quickly helped her up: "Let's call each other sisters from now on!"

Because it takes a certain time for the flying boat to take off, Zixiao didn't have much time for small talk. She bowed slightly to Youlan as a greeting, and then called the crew members behind her to run towards the flying boat.

After their large group of people boarded the immortal boat, only Ning Shu and Elder Youlan were left there. Elder Youlan had always been a quiet person. Ning Shu was not familiar with her and didn't know what topic to talk about. There was a hint of awkwardness in the silent air, and the two of them returned to the cinema in Chaoyin City in an awkward manner.

It wasn't until she saw the entrance to the cinema that Ning Shu finally found a topic to talk about. She cleared her throat and said, "Sister Youlan, look! This is the new shop I opened in Chaoyin City. Now I won't lose money here anymore. Business is booming every day!"

Now, in addition to selling movie tickets, the first floor of this cinema also sells various blind boxes, small cards, cultural shirts and other peripherals. The spacious hall is beginning to seem crowded because there are too many customers. Recently, Ning Shu is still thinking about whether to buy another store and sell clothes, beauty products, milk tea and other things in it to turn it into a department store.

"Young Sect Master has a great way of managing things. Youlan admires him very much." Youlan also cooperated very well and praised Ning Shu.

Ning Shu: ...

Youlan: ...

Then the atmosphere became cold again.

Ning Shu: Oh, it’s the first day since Sister Zixiao left. I miss her so much.

So the two of them walked into the cinema door together in such unfamiliarity and awkwardness. Before Ning Shu had time to take Youlan to familiarize herself with the structure of different floors, suddenly a group of monks ran over with excitement. Because of the veil, they did not recognize Ning Shu, but this did not prevent them from recognizing their identities as disciples of the Hehuan Sect from their clothes.

Seeing them rushing towards her aggressively, Youlan thought she had run into someone who was trying to assassinate her as soon as she arrived. She was about to attack, but Ning Shu stopped her with his quick eyes and hands.

"No, Sister Youlan, they are just fans."

Sure enough, after rushing over, those monks did not draw their weapons, but began to inquire about the news with excitement.

"Are you a staff member at the cinema? Why hasn't Zi Qiu appeared recently?"

"That's right, didn't she just reunite with Ning Caichen? Why is there no news all of a sudden? Could someone have put her in solitary confinement again?"

"And Zixiao too, why haven't we seen her since the TV series ended?"

"What about Ning Shu? Will she have any new works?"

They all started asking about their idol, as if they would keep asking until the end of time if they didn't get an answer.

"Please be patient, everyone. Zi Qiu is about to advance to the Golden Core stage, so she is in seclusion for cultivation. Once she succeeds, she will return to the public eye."

Ning Shu has become quite adept at dealing with this type of guests these days. With a smile on her face, she was as calm as a media spokesperson being interviewed:

"Zi Xiao is currently directing a new movie. Just like the previous film 'Nie Xiaoqian', this time it's a collaboration between the Hehuan Sect and the Tianyan Sect. The details will be in the next issue of the Hehuan magazine, so stay tuned..."

After finally sending this group of enthusiastic fans away, Ning Shu walked upstairs with Youlan, sighing, "They are all fans of stars like Zi Qiu and Sister Zi Xiao. Some of them have come from far away. They don't mean any harm. You'll get used to it later."

"I know them. When we were in the City That Never Sleeps, the sect's disciples were often surrounded like this and asked for information..." Youlan always kept a half-step distance behind Ning Shu. After hesitating for a moment, she said the second half of the sentence: "These fans have no room for anyone else in their eyes."

Hearing the meaning behind Elder Youlan's words, Ning Shu stopped on the platform between the floors. She turned around and looked into the other person's calm eyes:

"Sister Youlan, relying on the spiritual network like this, the reputation of our Hehuan Sect disciples can spread to distances previously unimaginable. After this movie is over, another group of disciples will become famous. By then..."

Elder Youlan interrupted Ning Shu for the first time, "Young Sect Master, there are only a few disciples as gifted as Liu Pianpian. Our sect has many disciples, so what should we do with the majority who are unknown?"

"...I'm sorry about the City That Never Sleeps, but it's impossible for every city to become a celebrity-chasing mecca. It's definitely not the case in other, more distant cities."

Hearing this, Elder Youlan sighed silently, then walked to the window to look at the street scene below. There were several monks standing in front of a movie poster and taking a photo. She was silent for a moment before speaking calmly:

"Young Sect Master, in the past, no matter how thin or fat the disciples of the Hehuan Sect were, as long as they went out more often, they would always find their ideal lover.

But now, when the monks of the Hehuan Sect are mentioned, the first thing that comes to their mind is no longer excellent lovers. The first thing that jumps into their minds is those star disciples you have promoted.

Indeed, the disciples you have introduced are beautiful and have likable personalities, perfectly matching the cultivators' expectations of the Hehuan Sect."

At this point, Elder Youlan turned around, and for the first time, her calm eyes were filled with regret and anger. "But because of this, those disciples who are not so perfect are no longer seen by the public, even if they are standing in front of those people."

"Are you trying to say that the Spiritual Network has allowed those more outstanding disciples to snatch opportunities from ordinary disciples?" Ning Shu retorted as he led Elder Youlan up the stairs and into his office.

"Actually, that's not the case. The Spiritual Network can also help ordinary disciples. Its effectiveness depends on how you use it. It was my fault for not considering the needs of the majority of disciples before, but now I have planned a remedy."

As he spoke, Ning Shu picked up a plan from the desk and handed it to the other party: "How do you think about this?"

"What remedies?" Elder Youlan frowned slightly as he took the thin booklet and opened it. "'Don't Disturb If You Are Not Romantic'? What does that mean?"

"It's a dating show recorded by the Hehuan Sect and broadcast simultaneously on TV stations and the Lingwang." Ning Shu finally smiled:

"Don't you think the celebrities on the spiritual network steal too much attention? This time, let's use the spiritual network to help everyone find an excellent lover!

My spiritual network not only covers Linghuzhou and Chaoyin City, but can also be seen in Quefeng City. What do you think, Sister Youlan? Do you want to take this opportunity to find one? "

"I, I'll forget about it." Youlan subconsciously took a step back, then opened the project plan in her hand with great interest: "But if it can really help the disciples, then I think it's worth a try. However, there are so many disciples in the sect, can this program be taken care of?"

Wouldn’t it be like a talent show where only the exceptional few get noticed?

"Don't worry, this time the mechanism is different from the talent show. Disciples who find partners in the program will leave, and the vacant positions will be filled by new disciples." Seeing Elder Youlan's concern, Ning Shu comforted her: "So as long as we can run this program for a long time, theoretically all disciples will have a chance."

Elder Youlan pondered for a moment as he looked at the plan in his hand. Finally, he decided to give it a try for the sake of the sect's disciples. "Okay, I'll post an announcement on the forum and let some of the more eager disciples sign up to give it a try."

By the Acacia Lake of the Hehuan Sect, a woman in red was hiding in a corner and crying bitterly. The clear lake surface reflected her thin figure huddled up in a ball, with her long, shiny and smooth hair hanging down, creating a poignant picture of a beautiful woman in tears.

If you could ignore her tearful face and her occasional crazy crying.

"Aaaaah that bastard! That bastard! How dare he treat me as a substitute for Liu Pianpian, wuwuwu..."

"You actually used me to get close to Liu Pianpian... Am I really that bad?..."

"That's too much! How can a man be so bad? wuwuwu..."

This female disciple was none other than the unlucky disciple mentioned above who was tragically deceived by the scumbag, Hong Mei, the direct disciple of Elder Hong Qiao.

Just when she was crying herself to the fullest, a few sneaky heads suddenly appeared behind her.

"Sister Hongmei still looks very sad. It's been more than half a month, right?" Baby Ye frowned and sighed sadly.

"No wonder, that man is too much... He treats her as a substitute just because they both like wearing red clothes..." Shangguan Huaijin's tone was full of sympathy.

"No, this matter is ultimately caused by me. I can't bear to see her sad like this any longer!" Liu Pianpian squatted on the ground, clenched her fists, and made up her mind: "I have to find a way to help Sister Hongmei get back on her feet!"

"But what should I do?" Baby Ye frowned in embarrassment.

"The Young Master once said, 'Where you fall, there you must get up!'" Little Lihua quietly suggested, "Why don't we introduce a better one to Sister Hongmei?"

"But where can we meet a better lover?" Baby Ye hesitated: "What if someone introduces us to a fan..." Wouldn't that be a double win?

...That makes sense, so the Nishang girl group fell into silence.

At this moment, Tieying, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up: "Speaking of which, did you see the new announcement posted on the forum this morning?"

"What announcement?" Ye Baobao quickly turned on the screen. "I usually don't open those serious pinned notifications."

"The announcement said that students who want to find a lover can sign up for the program!"

"A talent show?"

"Of course not! It's a matchmaking show specifically for finding lovers!"

"That's great! The love network is so vast, so many people can see it, I'm sure I'll find the right one!"

"Let's go tell Sister Hongmei to sign up quickly!" Baby Ye stood up: "If we're late, the quota might be full!"

"Will this work? She's crying so sadly..." Liu Pianpian was a little hesitant.

"Why not? If the old doesn't go, the new won't come..."

"What? Going on a show just to find a lover?" Hongmei's eyes were swollen to a slit, and she spoke with sobs: "I, I won't go! Anyway, someone like me would just be a foil even if I went, and everyone would only be looking at you guys..."

"Sister Hongmei, we all signed a contract not to fall in love." Liu Pianpian squatted down and carefully advised her: "Celebrities can't go to this show, only you can sign up."

"Really?" Hongmei's crying finally stopped, but she still lowered her head and said sullenly, "Then I won't go either! I never want to trust those stinky men again..."

"Well, that's a shame..." Baby Ye squatted down with a look of regret on his face. "I heard that even Quefeng City can watch this show. Maybe some handsome and heroic swordsman will come by then..."

"I want to sign up!" Hongmei grabbed Ye Baobao's shoulders.
