75 Chapter 75

Facts have proved that what Zixiao said was right. The expressiveness of the top strategists is indeed not to be underestimated. Ning Shu watched Sister Bai Xuan, who is usually gentle and lovely, seamlessly switch between kindness and innocence and cruelty. She could even perform such explosive scenes as asking the scumbag to abandon his wife and children with an innocent look without any sense of incongruity.

"Clap, clap, clap..." Ning Shu, who had come over to watch the fun, couldn't help but give Bai Xuan a heartfelt round of applause. "Sister Bai Xuan, you're truly amazing! You acted so naturally in your first time! Even Nie Xiaoqian would have to bow down to you!"

She is not only an actress with good acting skills but also has the pure looks of an idol. No wonder she has become the white moonlight that men can't forget.

"Young Sect Master, you're too kind. This level of affection is actually quite easy to fake." Bai Xuan, who had just been looking at the camera with tears in her eyes and a face full of admiration, returned to her normal expression the moment the filming ended. She picked up a handkerchief and carefully wiped away her tears, her tone still lingering with a hint of regret:

"But unfortunately, the woman in this script is too impatient. She shouldn't have been the one to say the words that would cause the man to betray his wife. While she might achieve her goal in the short term, once he comes to his senses, he'll feel comfortable taking out his guilt on her. Such a relationship won't last long and is truly a bad idea."

Bai Xuan flipped open the script in her hand, which was still just a rough outline. She entwined her fingers with a strand of hair and spoke thoughtfully:

"If it were me, when that man is completely bewitched and infatuated, I would give him the cold shoulder for a while, using the excuse of 'not wanting to destroy his family.' That way, he'd be unable to resist and leave his wife. Even if the truth came to light, I'd still be that understanding and kind person."

Ning Shu: ...

She touched her arm, which had inexplicably grown cold, and rubbed it secretly as she moved closer to Zixiao: "Sister Bai Xuan's rank is too high, isn't it? You asked her to play the supporting female role. Are you sure the female lead can beat her?"

Don’t let the situation happen that you, the leading actress, are not as popular as the supporting actress, because that would be embarrassing.

Zixiao, however, was incredibly confident. She lazily leaned back in the director's chair, flipping open the script and jotting down a few notes along with Bai Xuan's thoughts: "If the heroine's opponent isn't clever, how can the heroine's skills be showcased? Besides, wouldn't this drama be too bland without some twists and turns on the road to revenge?"

"Then how do you think the heroine can turn the tide against such an opponent?"

Always pure, always considerate, leaving no room for error. Faced with such a perfect female supporting role, Ning Shu felt that he couldn't think of any good solution even if he racked his brains.

It was obvious that Zixiao couldn't think of anything either, so she waved to Dingxiang, who was sitting opposite her writing furiously, and said, "Dingxiang, come here for a moment!"

"Master, are you looking for me?" Dingxiang's smile was just the right amount of warm.

After all, not only did Master not pursue the matter of the fan fiction, he was also willing to take her to participate in this major project that could dramatically increase her cultivation. Although she didn't show her face at all and probably wouldn't be able to absorb any spiritual energy...

Ahem! But not only can she continue writing, she can also film her articles into dramas like Nie Xiaoqian! And the Young Master also said that if this drama is a big hit, she will also receive a considerable amount of copyright fees!

Dingxiang, who survived the disaster, is very satisfied with this job, as she can make money and continue to pursue her beloved writing career, and can also show up in front of her master. During the few days when other disciples were auditioning, she had almost finished filling in the preliminary script.

"Master, what do you want me to do?" Dingxiang's enthusiastic smile made her look like a lucky worker who got a promotion and a raise.

Zixiao threw the script with notes in his hand to her: "This is a new idea that Bai Xuan just proposed. See if you can add it in and make the plot more reasonable."

Ning Shu felt that this was a bit inappropriate, and she tried to stop it: "Sister Zixiao, please don't interfere with the script..."

"I see! You're truly worthy of being Elder Bai Xuan. By changing the supporting female role like this, she instantly becomes much more sophisticated!" Ding Xiang glanced down, her eyes immediately lighting up with excitement.

"I was just wondering if the female supporting character's behavior seemed too foolish. With this change, the entire character's behavior becomes much more logical. I get it! I'll change it right away!"

Seeing her happy expression, she must have been greatly inspired. Ning Shu was silent for a moment and swallowed the rest of his words.

Forget it, since neither of them has any objection, let the director and screenwriter work it out on their own!

She changed the subject: "Now that the female character and the screenwriter are confirmed, what about the actor for that scumbag and the male lead? There are no suitable male actors among the ones we have."

"It doesn't matter. They're not protagonists like Ning Caichen anyway." Every time she faced the male character, Zixiao seemed to be indifferent: "Just recruit from outside like last time. Just pick a guy who looks smooth and slick to be scolded!"

At the same time, Elder Xu Hengzi, who was far away in Tianyan Sect, was in a bad mood recently.

The only direct disciple had a love affair and ran away twice, which made everyone in the sect know about it. The key is that this disciple refused to repent and is still obsessed with the witch of the Hehuan Sect to this day!

"Master! Master, please let me out! Qiu'er and I are truly in love!"

"Chuanbai, your cultivation level was about to reach the Dan stage, but it has fallen to this point. I feel sorry for you! Don't be so stubborn!"

"Master, I don't care! I just want to be with Qiu'er!"

"Then you should reflect on yourself here!"

"Master, please let me out. Qiu'er can't leave me. I haven't finished filming the scene I promised her..."

…

This kind of conversation was repeated almost every day in the secret realm behind the mountain. Today, Xu Hengzi, who had failed in his attempt to persuade someone, flew back to his cave in a rage. Before he could recite the Heart Purification Mantra a few times, a Taoist child suddenly whispered outside the door:

"Elder Xu Hengzi, Senior Brother Qi Ling stationed in Chaoyin City has sent a letter."

Qi Ling is an ordinary disciple of Xu Hengzi who has made rapid progress in his cultivation. He has already reached the late stage of foundation building and was sent by Xu Hengzi to Chaoyin City, where there are many opportunities, to gain experience. He is just waiting for Qi Ling to form a pill before he is officially accepted as a disciple by his beloved disciple Ji Chuanbai as a junior brother so that they can take care of each other.

Of course, this was just Xu Hengzi's original plan. Now Ji Chuanbai saw that there was no hope for him to form a pill in the short term, but he did not expect that Qi Ling, who was inferior in talent, would be much more stable.

The thought of Ji Chuanbai's stubborn look gave Xu Hengzi a headache. He frowned and sighed, "What's the matter with the letter?"

The Taoist boy bowed and raised his hands high, and handed the letter to Xu Hengzi: "Elder Bing, Senior Brother Qi Ling sent an expedited letter. There is a seal on the envelope. Please read it yourself."

What's going on here that's so mysterious? Elder Xu Hengzi snatched the letter, tore it open, and read it patiently with a frown.

From Master:

Recently, the Hehuan Sect staged a more realistic new drama in Chaoyin City. The drama eulogizes the touching love story between the eldest brother and the female cultivator of the Hehuan Sect, which is very moving to watch.

Now countless people in the city are moved by the true love between the two of them. In order to persuade you to change your mind and release the eldest brother to reunite with the female cultivator as soon as possible, there are often monks coming to your door to have cordial and friendly discussions and exchanges with you. The endless stream of people has seriously interfered with the normal operation of the store.

…

Also, because of that drama, the monks in the city now have some misunderstandings about you and the Tianyan Sect. Although I have tried my best to explain, it has had little effect so far. With the help of Senior Brother in such a matter, I believe that restoring the sect's reputation will be easy.

Because the interests and reputation of the sect are of great importance, this disciple has written a letter to ask if you are willing to allow Senior Brother to come to Chaoyin City for a gathering?

Respectfully submitted by your unfilial disciple Qi Ling

Xu Hengzi's face was only slightly impatient when he first read the letter, but it grew increasingly gloomy as he continued reading. By the end, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and even the hand holding the envelope could not help but tremble. The Taoist boy who presented the letter was terrified and silent, fearing that he would be caught in the act if he was not careful.

"How ridiculous! Those bewitching women of the Hehuan Sect!" Xu Hengzi roared in rage after seeing the final scene. He couldn't help but tear the letter into pieces. "They're confusing right and wrong! They're talking nonsense! How dare they fabricate stories out of thin air and ruin the reputation of our sect!"

What new drama? What celebration of love? Isn't it just a filming of your persecution of my disciples, then glossed over it with a Spring and Autumn style?

Those monks who joined in the commotion were truly astonishing. They couldn't even see through such a crude trick, and were fooled into turning around and cursing at us, the victims? Don't they have brains? They have absolutely no idea what they're talking about!

And those witches from the Hehuan Sect, don't think I don't know what you're up to! You think you can just rely on those cultivators' verbal attacks to make me back down so you can release Ji Chuanbai and continue to be deceived by you? You're dreaming!

The more he thought about it, the more suffocated he felt. He simply stood up, flicked his whisk, and walked quickly out the door.

"Elder Xu Hengzi, where are you going? How should I reply to Senior Brother Qi Ling's letter?" the Taoist boy asked bravely.

"You don't need to reply! Stay home and keep an eye on your senior brother. Don't let him get away again. I'll go to Chaoyin City myself!" Xu Hengzi's figure stepped on the clouds and left. Only his voice could be heard from afar:

"I want to go and see what's so powerful about that witch from the Hehuan Sect that makes all those people bewildered!"

The same goes for Chuan Bai and those cultivators who can't tell right from wrong. I want to see what kind of magic potion the Hehuan Sect has fed you!

The speed of the cultivators in the God Transformation Stage increased by leaps and bounds. In less than half a day, Xu Hengzi flew to the outskirts of Chaoyin City. Considering that there were rules in the city strictly prohibiting cultivators from flying and fighting, he pressed down the cloud, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the main entrance with ease.

He often came to Chaoyin City before he was promoted to the Spirit Transformation Stage, but he didn't go out often in the past few hundred years after he became an elder, so he knew all the rules.

Hmm... but I always feel like something seems to be wrong... Xu Hengzi looked around in confusion. The sharp perception of a high-level cultivator told him that the cultivators around him seemed to be secretly looking at him.

What's going on? Did I go out wearing only my underwear today? Xu Hengzi looked down and checked his clothes several times, but couldn't see anything wrong.

There were cultivators whispering around, and Xu Hengzi, who was in the Spirit Transformation Stage, could hear it clearly.

"Is it him?"

"It seems so, not sure, let's wait and see."

Who is it?

Do I happen to look like some notorious demon cultivator?
