Chapter 91

"Ka, good! Everyone take a break."

As the director finished speaking, there was an immediate cheer in the venue. It turned out that the righteous Immortal Lord, the domineering Demon Lord, the extraordinary fairies and the Taoist elders all wanted to leave and soften into a ball of mud. The assistants hurried over to bring water and fan the room.

Wearing layer upon layer of ancient costumes and acting under the sun in such hot weather is almost scorching hot. Fortunately, they are now in the mountains, where the temperature is much lower than in the concrete city.

Gu Yunshuang didn't even bother to drink water at the first moment, but quickly asked Zhou Sheng for his cell phone. When he opened it, he found that while he was concentrating on filming, the number of messages on his cell phone had exceeded 99.

Not only did Gu Yunshuang not feel annoyed, he also showed a happy smile. He lay on the recliner, took the water handed to him by the company's newly assigned assistant, drank it, and read the messages at the same time.

The young assistant couldn't help but click his tongue and whispered to Zhou Sheng, "Isn't this too sticky?" The phone was on vibrate. Although there was no sound, Zhou Sheng could tell that his pocket vibrated every time. Ever since Gu Yunshuang was given the phone to act on stage by Zhou Sheng, the vibrations never stopped.

The thought of your boyfriend sending you crazy messages after you've been away for a while would make any normal person's scalp tingle, right? But Gu Yunshuang didn't feel scared at all, she was actually very happy. That can only mean they are very clingy, and it is indeed true love.

Zhou Sheng was also unable to explain it in a few words. He knew more than he knew. The thought that the person was not a normal person, or not a human, made his scalp tingle.

He was fine, but his colleagues at the Special Management Bureau were feeling like they were on a roller coaster and had no words to express their suffering.

Just a week ago, Gu Yunshuang received a script that he really liked, but the script required a closed-door filming in the mountains. Qi Yue had to deal with the follow-up of opening the Zhoutian Xingdou Zhuxie Great Array, and was busy leaving home early and returning late every day, so he would not go with him, so he was very hesitant.

Sister Hua strongly advised him to take on this drama, because after he got rid of the negative news, the first drama he took on must be a big hit in order to truly consolidate his position or take him to a higher level. Otherwise, those negative news would most likely come back and have a great impact on his future resources.

Moreover, this time, a very famous domestic director personally came to invite Gu Yunshuang to play the male lead in his big production. Whether in terms of the script, the role or the schedule, Gu Yunshuang is very suitable for this play. If he refuses without a suitable reason, he will probably be regarded as a big shot. It is not certain how it will be spread on the Internet, but it will definitely give him a bad reputation in the director circle.

Although Gu Yunshuang is currently learning how to become a Heavenly Master, it does not mean that he will give up his acting career in the future. However, there are people with bad intentions watching him from behind. He is not afraid of getting into trouble himself, but he is afraid of becoming a burden to Qi Yue.

Qi Yue said to him considerately, "You can go without worry. After this baptism of the formation, that thing won't be able to cause any more trouble in the short term. I've marked you. If anything happens, just call my name and I'll be there in time."

If Qi Yue thinks there is no problem, then the Special Management Bureau will think there is no problem even more.

However, it turns out that there are bigger problems.

Gu Yunshuang had been away for only one day, or rather, less than twelve hours, when that evening the Yin Qi alarm of the Special Management Bureau blared sharply.

When Director Lin saw the place where the Yin energy was surging, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately led his men to the Gu family's villa and quickly and safely evacuated the half-sleeping Gu's parents. Then he broke into Qi Yue's bedroom and saw that the floor and ceiling were densely packed with Qi Yue's black tapeworms, which had the same head and long black worm-like tails and were crawling twistedly. They were all looking at them with eyes so black that there were no whites in their eyes. Everyone in the Special Management Bureau felt their scalps tingle and wished they could poke out their eyes.

Director Lin took a deep breath and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

It seemed as if the intrusion of an outsider had finally brought him back to his senses. The black worms that filled the room with Qi Yue disappeared immediately. Qi Yue sat down on the sofa like a normal person, as if nothing had happened. He said calmly, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just not used to Shuang Shuang being around, so I went crazy for a bit. It's nothing."

"It's really nothing?" Director Lin didn't quite believe it. The last time he saw this scene, Qi Yue was frightened by the assigned middle school counseling team and deliberately ran over to scare him, but now he could keenly sense that something was really wrong with Qi Yue's condition.

Qi Yue said confidently: "Yes, it's really nothing, I can still control myself."

Director Lin: “…” If this is still okay, he would not need the brain on his neck.

After their careful questioning and discussion and research, they finally came to a conclusion that they had overlooked, that is, Qi Yue is no longer a human being, and he has sealed the deepest evil spirit in himself, so he is actually a ghost now.

Ghosts only stay in the human world for their own obsessions, and Qi Yue's obsession is Gu Yunshuang. It is his instinct to haunt Gu Yunshuang.

Since Qi Yue returned, he hadn't been separated from Gu Yunshuang for such a long time or such a long distance. Therefore, Qi Yue didn't show any abnormality. Qi Yue acted so powerful, so everyone subconsciously ignored it. It wasn't until he and Gu Yunshuang separated that the evil spirit's instincts were exposed.

After Director Lin understood the whole story, he wanted to pack up Qi Yue and send him to Gu Yunshuang immediately.

Qi Yue refused, "You make me feel like a baby that hasn't been weaned. Don't worry, I can still control myself and won't lose control. The most important thing is that there are still many things to deal with after the formation is activated." Just like their original idea, they designed a simplified version of the formation to teach other heavenly masters, and then formed a group to go abroad to purify various parts of the world.

Now the effect of the formation is very significant. The formation with thick Yin energy not only eliminates these evil things that harm people, but also lowers the Yin energy value in the country to the level before the ghost gate appeared.

It is said that many people who were originally in poor health and suffered from various illnesses have inexplicably improved in recent days. This is the benefit of lowering the Yin Qi value.

Many people from abroad have contacted us, hoping to have their national maps cleansed. This is especially true in countries already plagued by conflict and deep resentment, leading to frequent ghost gate signs, high levels of Yin Qi, and the emergence of numerous hidden, harmful evil spirits. They are eager to receive a powerful cleansing as well.

What's more, purifying these evil things and negative energy will be more beneficial to the human world and can further delay the time for the ghost world and the human world to communicate.

The suggestion was originally made by Qi Yue, so he must insist on taking responsibility to the end. He cannot just give up after finishing the task and be irresponsible at all.

Seeing that he insisted and was still conscious, Director Lin let him do as he pleased. However, he still gave him an awakening device specially developed by the research institute for evil spirits, which was an enhanced version.

Qi Yue was very disgusted, feeling like he was wearing a dog collar, but in order to reassure others, he still wore it and strongly requested them not to disturb Gu Yunshuang.

Director Lin was relieved.

But it wasn't long before he realized he'd been too reassured. The awakening artifact was completely useless against Qi Yue. Qi Yue's Yin Qi had been riding a roller coaster these days, soaring to the point where the sirens could blow the roof off the Special Management Bureau, then plummeting back to normal the next moment. One can only imagine the mood of everyone in the Special Management Bureau.

It is said that colleagues in the Special Management Bureau who are responsible for monitoring Qi Yue's data each have a bottle of quick-acting heart pills ready at all times.

Qi Yue, however, appeared calm and composed, having already begun teaching the Celestial Masters how to deploy a simplified version of the Great Demon-Slaying Formation. If it weren't for the constant alarms and his uncontrollable habit of texting and video-calling Gu Yunshuang, a truly perverse act of harassment, who would have known just how utterly disturbed he was.

After a week of research, everyone in the Special Management Bureau has determined the pattern of Qi Yue's Yin Qi changes: when he can talk to Gu Yunshuang on the phone, the value is stable and normal, but when they are only texting and chatting, the value starts to fluctuate. If Gu Yunshuang does not reply to his message for more than five minutes, the value will start to soar rapidly, and then start to fluctuate, until Gu Yunshuang finished filming and took a break. He immediately called her, and when he heard Gu Yunshuang's voice, the value quickly dropped back to zero.

Very good, the most effective medicine is indeed Gu Yunshuang.

Then they started to worry again. Qi Yue's crazy and abnormal clinginess really wouldn't scare Gu Yunshuang away, right?

What they didn't expect was that Gu Yunshuang was not scared, but enjoyed it instead.

As soon as the director announced a break, he didn't even have time to drink water. The first thing he did was check his phone for messages.

I hadn't read many messages when my phone rang. The words "Qi Yue" scrolled across the screen, their bright red color glaring as if blood was dripping from them.

When Zhou Sheng saw these two words, he immediately shuddered and felt a chill down his spine.

Gu Yunshuang didn't seem to notice anything wrong and immediately answered the call. He put the phone to his ear and shouted happily, "Brother!"

Qi Yue's voice came from the other end, with a rustling and distorted feeling, but one could still hear his joyful mood: "Well, did you take a break? This shoot took a while, was it difficult?"

Gu Yunshuang: "I didn't quite understand it, but luckily the teachers I worked with were very good and patiently taught me. After only one lesson, I took two more attempts and finally passed."

Qi Yue praised: "My Shuangshuang is really smart."

Gu Yunshuang: "Brother, how's your situation? Is it going well?"

Qi Yue sighed, "It's not going well. It feels like trying to teach a child why two plus two equals four but not five. It's so simple, but I just can't seem to get it right. My blood pressure is practically going off."

The Heavenly Masters who were silently studying the formation diagram and were so worried that they were about to scratch their hair off lowered their heads in shame.

Gu Yunshuang softly consoled him, "I've heard that formations rely heavily on talent. Their talent definitely isn't as good as yours, brother. Since you're such a good person, please be more understanding and patient."

Qi Yue's irritability was immediately soothed, his soaring blood pressure also dropped, and he became very gentle and harmless.

The Heavenly Masters were very grateful, Angel! Just say more. You know, just now they were almost scared to death by Qi Yue's increasingly terrifying pressure.

Gu Yunshuang chatted with Qi Yue for a while before finally hanging up the phone.

The actress playing the female lead was wandering around with her phone in her hand. She came up to him and asked in surprise, "In this godforsaken place, my phone has no signal at all, and you're still able to make a call? What brand is it? The signal is so strong!"

Zhou Sheng was embarrassed and answered silently in his heart: It's a ghost call, how can the signal be bad? Even if all the parts of the phone are disassembled and only the empty shell is left, the call can still be connected.

Gu Yunshuang showed her the phone in his hand and said gently, "It's made in China, the same brand as yours. Maybe it just happened to find a signal just now, but now there's no signal."

The heroine tilted her head and looked over. Indeed, Gu Yunshuang's phone was completely without signal. But how could she put it? This was just perfect, wasn't it? Every time Gu Yunshuang took a break, he would immediately get some signal and be able to make calls? What kind of lucky physique was this?

At this time, there was a commotion and cheers from the crowd in front.

The female lead's assistant ran over with two cups of milk tea and said happily, "He's here to deliver milk tea again! That guy is really generous. He climbs mountains and wades through water every day to have someone deliver milk tea to us."

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Yunshuang intentionally or unintentionally.

After everyone else got their milk tea, they drank it while secretly looking at Gu Yunshuang, with gossipy glints in their eyes.

The gentle and joyful smile on Gu Yunshuang's face disappeared completely, and he became as cold as ice, as if he had turned back into the stern and aloof Gu Yunshuang before he reunited with Qi Yue.

At this time, the director suddenly announced loudly that the next scene would not be filmed for the time being and gave them a half-day break.

Everyone looked at the handsome young man next to the director who was holding a bouquet of roses and holding a cup of milk tea, and they immediately understood what was going on. They tried even harder to sneak a peek at Gu Yunshuang's reaction.

The young man, Xue Tinghe, walked towards Gu Yunshuang with a gentle smile.

Gu Yunshuang didn't even glance at him, stood up from his chair, and said directly to the director: "Director, since we don't have to shoot anymore, I'll go back and rest first."

Then he turned and left.

Xue Tinghe's face froze and he looked at the director.

The director understood and quickly called out to Gu Yunshuang, "Wait a minute, Teacher Gu, Mr. Xue is the biggest investor in this drama. It's rare for him to come all the way to visit the crew. Could you show him around here?"

"No, Director," Gu Yunshuang said with a forced smile, "I don't get along with him. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist and kick him into the ditch where no one else is watching."

He now knows the relationship between Qi Yue and the Xue family. Although Qi Yue said that he didn't care about the grudges of the previous generation at all, he still felt sorry for Qi Yue and Old Man Qi.

So what if Xue Tinghe knew nothing and had no control over his own origins? The thought that he was the son of the two people who nearly prevented Qi Yue from being born and caused Old Master Qi to die young, and that, because of that slight blood relationship with Qi Yue, after Old Master Qi sacrificed himself and Qi Yue sealed the Ghost Gate, his life or death unknown, he had the audacity to usurp the Qi family's inheritance and even claimed to be the heir of the Qi family, made him feel sick for Qi Yue and Old Master Qi.

What's more, no one knows what's wrong with Xue Tinghe. Since he joined the crew, he has suddenly appeared on the crew, and asked people to send him juice and milk tea every day, and gave him flowers, snacks and other small gifts, as if he was deeply in love and wanted to pursue him.

Gu Yunshuang had not forgotten the disgusted look on this man's face two or three months ago when he looked at him a few more times because he looked like Qi Yue.

As the saying goes, "If someone shows you kindness without any reason, they are either a traitor or a thief." It's best to stay away from them and be more cautious.

The director and everyone else were stunned, as if they had not expected him to draw a clear line between himself and Xue Tinghe so directly and decisively.

Xue Tinghe was not discouraged at all. He said gently, "I think Teacher Gu may have some misunderstandings about me. Could you please allow me to buy Teacher Gu a cup of milk tea and give me some time to talk and clear up the misunderstanding?"

"No time, no need." Gu Yunshuang took Zhou Sheng and walked away.

Xue Tinghe finally became anxious. He had wasted so many days here but there was no progress. The people who promised to help him behind the scenes were already very impatient.

He raised his voice and said, "How about we talk about your childhood sweetheart? He's been hiding a very important secret from you, you know? For example, why is it that everyone else's cell phone has no signal, but only yours can still call him?"

Everyone's ears pricked up even more.

Zhou Sheng's expression changed and he hurried to see Gu Yunshuang.

Gu Yunshuang did not stop and continued to move forward firmly.

Xue Tinghe finally panicked and raised his voice, threatening: "If you continue to leave, I will reveal his secret now. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Zhou Sheng's face turned cold, he suddenly stopped, turned around and glared at Xue Tinghe fiercely.

Gu Yunshuang also had to stop, paused, turned around, and walked towards Xue Tinghe step by step. The mountain breeze lifted his flying clothes and long hair, making him look outstanding.

Before Xue Tinghe could feel proud in his heart, he was shocked by his aura. At that moment, he seemed to see a real immortal, murderous and cold as ice.

"Where do you want to go to talk?" Gu Yunshuang's voice was extremely cold, and it sounded like he was asking him where he wanted to die.

Xue Tinghe's face turned dark. He was very upset that he was frightened by Gu Yunshuang's aura just now. He had a lot of dissatisfaction with Gu Yunshuang in his heart, but he quickly suppressed the resentment. He must win Gu Yunshuang's heart now. He had to compromise for the time being, and when he really won Gu Yunshuang's heart in the future, he would get it back many times over.

He adjusted his expression and tried to show his grace. "You can choose the location, but it's just the two of us. No one else can come along and get in the way."

He deliberately spoke in an ambiguous manner and cast a provocative look in Zhou Sheng's direction.

Gu Yunshuang: "Okay, I happen to know a place, come with me. Brother Zhou, you don't have to come, just stay here and wait for me."

Zhou Sheng was very anxious as the two of them left one after another. He wanted to notify the Special Management Bureau, but then he remembered that there was no signal here, so it was impossible to notify the Special Management Bureau.
