57 Chapter 57

Nie Xiaoqian's filming journey has been progressing in an orderly manner. Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen went from being strangers to being together for life and death, and Ning Shu and Xuan Mo also went from being strangers to becoming increasingly familiar with each other.

After spending time with him, Ning Shu discovered that although Xuan Mo looked cold, he was actually a shy boy who longed for praise!

At that time, Ning Shu, Zi Qiu and Ning Caichen were taking a break after filming a scene together. After hearing Ning Shu's words, Zi Qiu and Ji Chuanbai, who had been in frequent contact with Xuan Mo in recent days, began to doubt their lives.

"Young Master, this..." Zi Qiu, who was sitting on a chair putting on makeup, looked hesitant and said, "Shy and inferior? Longing for praise? This..."

Who is that person you are talking about?

After filming the rival scenes over the past few days, Zi Qiu felt that Yan Chixia in the play and Xuan Mo outside of the play were no different at all. They were both highly skilled, high-spirited, and both... cold and indifferent.

She even couldn't understand why a standard swordsman like Xuan Mo would come here to film.

I always feel that this person should be practicing sword skills day after day in some bitter and cold place, or wandering around the world looking for opponents worthy of fighting. In short, he has a very sharp and cold image, which is totally incompatible with the glamorous entertainment industry.

"It's true. You didn't realize it because you didn't find the right method." Ning Shu patted her chest carelessly. "A good boss like me who cares about employees will have seen through Xuan Mo's sensitive heart early on!" She proudly talked about her experience of getting along with him:

"If you sincerely praise Xuan Mo, he'll work even harder and even feel better! If you don't believe me, I'll show you!"

Just then, Xuan Mo, who had finished his makeup, came out of the dressing room. Ning Shu immediately greeted him with a smile: "Xuan Mo, the next scene will be a fight between the two of us!"

"Well, please give me your advice." Xuan Mo nodded very coldly.

"Oh, by the way, I went through the fight scenes last night and realized a lot of my moves aren't good enough. Can you show me some?" She clasped her hands together, looking over with wide eyes. "Please, can you help me come up with some cool moves?"

Xuan Mo was silent for a moment, then began to demonstrate to Ning Shu: "Your body doesn't have the strength. Doing movements that are too difficult will affect your fluency. How about doing this..."

He did not hold a sword, but instead performed a set of fierce palm techniques. Each move was extremely beautiful, and he deliberately slowed down his movements to make it easier for Ning Shu to observe.

"Wow! That's amazing! I didn't expect your palm technique to be so powerful!" Ning Shu applauded and picked up the Spirit Shadow Stone beside him: "Show more! I'm filming you now, I'll save it for the behind-the-scenes footage later!"

As a result, Xuan Mo's hand movements became visibly faster, and he also performed difficult moves such as somersaults, one-legged standing, and mid-air chopping. The spectators were dazzled and overwhelmed.

"Hahaha! So pretty! Sword dancing! Xuan Mo, do another sword dance! I'll edit it into a fight scene compilation for you later!"

Then another burst of "Shua, swish, swish" sounds of sword swinging was heard. The sword in Xuan Mo's hand danced with great power. The blue sword energy was particularly eye-catching in the dark Lanruo Temple. The sword moves he made were gorgeous and beautiful. From time to time, he cooperated with the girl's various requests. The whole person was so flamboyant that he seemed like a completely different person.

Finally, after about an incense stick of time, Xuan Mo stopped his sword. Ning Shu closed the Spirit Shadow Stone and gave him a thumbs-up: "Handsome! So handsome! You are worthy of being the future superstar Xuan Mo-chan!"

There were beads of sweat on Xuan Mo's forehead. Looking at the girl opposite with a bright smile and eyes like stars, he unconsciously curled the corners of his lips: "As long as you are happy."

Zi Qiu and Ji Chuanbai, who had watched the entire process, said: ...

"Qiu'er, I know why Xuan Mo came to film." Ji Chuanbai's tone was filled with sudden enlightenment.

It was obvious that this sword cultivator, like himself, was completely bewitched by a girl from the Hehuan Sect.

"I can see it too, but the Young Sect Master doesn't seem to... notice it..." Zi Qiu's tone was filled with sympathy.

It feels like the whole world can see Xuan Mo's preference for the young master, but she is the only one who is unaware of it.

As they were talking, the filming had already officially begun. Ning Shu, who had instantly entered the stage, suddenly changed her demeanor. She slowly and leisurely used her index finger to twiddle Yan Chixia's hair, her attitude frivolous like a playboy teasing a decent woman:

"Hey, little Taoist priest, we meet again. We are really destined to be together~"

Yan Chixia brushed off the ghost's entangled arms with a cold face, and drew his sword without hesitation to chop her: "Demon, prepare to die!"

"Eh? What a dull man who doesn't understand romance~"

The onlookers: ...

On and off the stage, have the roles of these two people been swapped?

In this way, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the shooting progressed in an orderly manner. Two months passed in a flash, and finally today, the shooting of the last scene of Nie Xiaoqian is about to be completed.

This scene is also the only outdoor shot in the entire movie. After many twists and turns, Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen finally eliminated the Black Mountain Demon with the help of other female ghosts and Yan Chixia, and escaped from the devil's cave that never sees the sun all year round.

At a beautiful and sunny lake near the City That Never Sleeps, Ning Shu sat in the director's chair and waved to the script supervisor. With the sound of the clappers announcing "Action", Ning Caichen staggered out of the forest in the distance, holding Nie Xiaoqian's hand. They both looked back at the destroyed Lanruo Temple with lingering fear, and the joy of surviving the disaster made them hug each other involuntarily.

"Xiao Qian, come with me from now on. We'll find a valley full of flowers to live in seclusion together, and never be separated again..." Ning Caichen looked at Nie Xiaoqian with deep affection, and raised his hand to gently stroke his lover's hair.

"Caichen, I do..." Nie Xiaoqian's eyes were tender and her pale face was finally stained with a shy blush of a girl. The two faces got closer and closer, and on the shore of a shimmering lake, Nie Xiaoqian gently closed her eyes.

"Quick! Cut to a close-up!" Ning Shu instructed the photographer holding the Spirit Shadow Stone to get closer to the couple who were about to kiss as the ending scene of the movie.

"You shameless witch! You come to seduce my disciple again and make her lose her mind!" Suddenly, a vehement curse interrupted this beautiful scene. Everyone present was startled and subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from in the air.

He was an angry old man with a white beard. The robes he wore and the whisk in his hand were not ordinary things. The rage that was waiting to be released made the sky behind him brew a storm. The sky that was clear just now instantly became covered with dark clouds.

"Master, Master?" Ji Chuanbai's face turned pale in an instant. He desperately stood in front of Zi Qiu and knelt down: "Master, she and I are truly in love! For her, I am willing to stop cultivating immortality and be an ordinary couple with her!"

"You! You, you, you..." The Taoist was so angry at Ji Chuanbai's words that he was speechless for a long time. He covered his violently heaving chest and took a few steps back. The immortal who had always looked like an immortal was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You useless thing! I think you have lost your mind!"

Seeing his disappointed look like a class teacher who discovered that a top student was indulging in premature love, Ning Shu actually felt quite sympathetic towards him for having such a love-brained apprentice.

"You shameless witches! How dare you confuse my disciple's mind? I will fight you to the death!" The next second his anger was directed at Zi Qiu and other disciples of the Hehuan Sect. The dark clouds behind him were affected by the Taoist's magic power, and they were surging with lightning and thunder.

Ning Shu: ...

I take back my sympathy from last second. You deserve it, you old man!

Since you came to me yourself, don't blame me!

She casually snatched the Spirit Shadow Stone from a disciple's hand, and silently adjusted the camera to zoom in on the long and ferocious face in the distance, and then moved the camera down to film the poor couple who were about to be separated.

Although Zixiao behind her didn't know what the young sect leader was going to do, he stayed by her side all the time. The red whip in his hand grew barbs like vines, and the spiritual power of the Spirit Transformation Stage surged, forming a faint confrontation with the air.

Xuan Mo, who followed out, also stayed by Ning Shu's side all the time, his free hand tightly pressed on the sword at his waist, looking up into the air with eyes full of vigilance.

Ji Chuanbai's master, Xu Hengzi, was shocked the moment he saw this face: "Isn't this the disciple of the Qingfeng Sword Sect's Grand Elder? Why is he here?"

You, the Hehuan Sect, pick out the most expensive cabbages?

He had originally planned to fight with the purple-clothed female cultivator to dampen the arrogance of these evil women, but the moment he saw Xuan Mo, he changed his mind.

Forget it. The battles between high-level cultivators can easily cause earthquakes. It would be bad if the disciple of Taoist Wufeng was accidentally affected. Those sword cultivators are more protective of their own people than each other. If the account is held against him, where can he seek justice?

So he feigned disdain and shook the whisk in his hand: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to get entangled with you bunch of witches! Chuanbai, why don't you leave with me quickly?"

Ji Chuanbai was as stubborn as a high school student who ran away from home: "I won't leave! Master, please help us!"

Unfortunately, his protest was of no use. With a flick of Xu Hengzi's whisk, the weeping young man was swept up into the air. He desperately tugged at Zi Qiu's hand, but it was no use. In the end, he could only be dragged further and further away.

"Qiu'er! Qiu'er! Wuuuuu, wait for me, I will come back wuuuuuu..."

Zi Qiu was also crying her heart out. She ran desperately towards her lover while crying bitterly. She kept reaching out her hands but could only watch Ji Chuanbai getting farther and farther away: "Wuwuwu, don't, don't go, wuwuwu..."

This scene was so heartbreaking that it made anyone cry. Zixiao sighed and was about to pull that silly disciple back when he suddenly saw the young sect leader's face flushed red. He was even holding the Spirit Shadow Stone and taking close-ups of Ziqiu.

"Wow, wow, wow..." This was Zi Qiu who was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.

"Don't just cry! Speak the words! Speak the words!" This was Ning Shu who kept urging in a low voice while carrying the Spirit Shadow Stone.

They're in such a miserable state, how could you be so unsympathetic, young master? Zi Xiao was about to rush over to stop them, but suddenly Zi Qiu took a few more deep breaths and actually started to cooperate.

"Wuuuu... Caichen... without you... Wuuuu... how can I... live... Wuuuu..." She cried and chased along the river bank, the white ribbons dancing in the wind behind her, and her whole body was lingering in a sad atmosphere of despair and heartbreak.

Zixiao: ...

Even I would have a moment of doubt, who are these guys who practice the ruthless way?

【Author’s words】

The false and ruthless way: On ordinary days, I kept my chastity like a jade, but once I fell into the trap, my old house caught fire, and I had no regrets even if my cultivation level declined.

The true ruthlessness: I can talk about love if I want to, and I will be heartbroken if I break up, but I will never let it interfere with my career.
