Chapter 302 Sincerity for Sincerity
Yunshang Yinyu backstage.
Countless water mirrors floated in mid-air, reflecting various hurried figures and swaying jewels.
The low, admonishing voices mingled with the muffled music coming from the stage in front, creating a flurry of activity.
Qi Ran was tidying her sideburns in front of one of the mirrors, the cold light from the mirror making her profile appear slightly aloof.
Just then, the beaded curtain made a "whoosh" sound.
A red feather swayed gently by Huali's ear as she walked in, turning her head to speak to Tang Wanwan.
In the blink of an eye, their gazes met briefly in the cold light refracted by the water mirror before they looked away.
Hua Li had completely given up on inquiring about Qi Ran's benefits. This "ebb and flow" finally made her understand: one was the company's eldest daughter, and the other was just a nobody in the vegetable garden.
Moreover, whether Xiaobaicai can return smoothly is another matter entirely; asking will only make her jealous and cause plasmolysis.
Forget it, let it go.
Just then, the bell rang, and when Karin looked up, she saw an old acquaintance—Hyougetsu, dressed in a light purple gauze dress, walking in gracefully.
Bingyue frowned slightly.
As she expected, Karin quickly found out the whole story.
After Qi Ran sent Bi Yao back to Lingyin Sect that day, Bing Yue immediately ordered her men to throw them into the mortal realm.
Whether they live or die depends on their fate.
Bringing her thoughts back, Bingyue looked up and nodded slightly to Qiran, but her gaze turned cold as she looked at Huali.
Tang Wanwan couldn't stand Bingyue's fake seriousness, so she immediately sneered and prepared to retort. However, Bingyue had already turned around indifferently and walked to the other side.
"Tch, what are you pretending for?" The young lady raised an eyebrow. "Who knows if she was behind this last incident or not."
"No." Huali pulled Tang Wanwan to a place to sit down.
In the first round of singing and dancing, ten people were divided into groups and drawn by lot. The top twenty with the highest rankings were then selected from these groups.
Hearing Huali's resolute statement, the young lady was displeased, "You really believe her that much?"
"It's not about believing him, it's about believing in Tuowu and Xiwu."
Hua Li scratched Ao Bai's chin, "Xi Wu has already investigated the whole story. Besides, although Bing Yue is a bit pretentious, she's not brainless. That kind of method is too low-level."
Tang Wanwan thought about it and realized it made sense.
After all, if it really involved her, the others would have torn her apart long ago. Why would she be the one to act all high and mighty and roll her eyes now?
No longer looking at the unlucky ghost, Tang Wanwan glanced at the handsome men and beautiful women taking turns on stage, leaned closer to Huali, and pointed enthusiastically at the stage image reflected in the water mirror, "Huali, look at this."
"Ah Yu's junior brother, Su Lan, a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, look at his eyes and figure, absolutely amazing!"
Huali followed and looked over.
A figure dressed in an elaborate crimson robe with gold lettering flashed across the water mirror. Her eyes were full of affection, her lips were smiling, and her movements exuded a charming and elegant air.
Huali nodded, "Absolutely amazing."
"And look over there." Tang Wanwan pointed to a male cultivator with black hair tied up high and wearing a white Daoist robe. "Is that the senior disciple of the Xuantian Sect? Is he celibate?"
"Hmm, that's kind of the vibe." Huali's eyes darted around. "Wanwan, look at that young man in black over there, his legs are so long."
Ao Bai: "..."
It watched as the two men huddled together, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, and began to comment on the handsome figures that flashed by in the water mirror, occasionally letting out a sly laugh.
Ao Bai: "A lecherous devil reincarnated."
Just as the two heads were engrossed in their conversation, a handsome male cultivator dressed in monastic robes happened to pass by them, his wide sleeves carrying a fragrant breeze.
Tang Wanwan and Huali fell silent at the same time, their gazes following the figure as it disappeared behind the beaded curtain before they slowly exchanged a glance.
"Hehehe, what a perky butt." Tang Wanwan couldn't help but laugh out loud first.
Huali understood immediately, her eyes sparkling: "Who doesn't love looking at handsome guys?"
Almost the instant Huali finished speaking, a large bunch of golden sunflowers suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Fairy Huali, someone asked me to give this to you."
Karin: "For me?"
"Yes," the staff member brought over a plate of fresh, juicy red fruits, along with two cups of tea exuding the fragrance of the mountains, and placed them on the table. "And these too."
Tang Wanwan, who was just praising the young man's perky butt a second ago, instantly changed her expression: "..."
The young lady gasped, her voice trembling as she said, "I'll let you see it, but you're really planning to have a little Qi?"
Steward Ao was equally shocked, "When did this happen? How come King Meow Meow didn't know anything about it?"
Who is it! Who is it that seduced the king behind his back?
Karin was equally bewildered. "I don't know."
Wanwan earnestly advised, "Dahua, even though I call you Dahua, you can't play too recklessly... Five isn't enough, can you really handle it?"
Huali was shocked. What kind of lewd remarks were these!
To prove her innocence, she immediately looked down for clues. She then discovered that the sunflower was actually woven from supple grass stems dyed gold.
Moreover, it's so fresh; it was definitely made up this morning.
Such craftsmen, little bird?
No, that's not right. If it were really him, given his personality, he would have deliberately cut his hand and then shown it to her eight hundred times without her even realizing it.
Who is that?
Huali's mind was a mess. She glanced at the person and cat cosplaying Rong Momo and was furious with impotence. "Really not! I have recently realized my problem. From now on, I will stay far away from the opposite sex except for those in my loving family."
Upon hearing this, the young lady who had to return for work immediately apologized: "My apologies, fairies. I was too busy and forgot to mention it was Huaiyin."
"She's in charge of hosting the whole event today, which is why she asked me to deliver this to you in advance... Oh, she just happened to come down here, she's over there."
Huali looked up, clutching the unexpected gift in her arms, and met Huaiyin's gaze.
The girl's face still had the subtle shimmer of stage makeup, but her eyes were smiling brightly, as if they were filled with the vitality of spring.
The look in his eyes, which was filled with despair as he stood in the alley with a stick protecting his mother, was completely different from before.
Seeing Huali looking at her, Huaiyin wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and mouthed, "Go for it."
Then he hurriedly ran to the front of the stage.
Tang Wanwan leaned closer curiously and whispered, "Who is this? He looks familiar."
Huali brushed her fingertips across the flowers in her arms. "It's the young lady I told you about last time, the one who hosted the audition ceremony, Huaiyin."
Tang Wanwan suddenly realized and nudged her shoulder, "That's her mother... Great job, Huali, that's wonderful."
"Yes, that's great."
Huali held the heavy warmth in her arms, her smile almost reaching her ears.
Without a word, she could imagine it—
Before dawn, Huaiyin quietly got up, brewed the freshly picked wild tea leaves still glistening with dew, picked out the plumpest fruits from the branches, and then painstakingly wove the dyed grass stems into this bunch of sunflowers...
Just to give it to her at this moment.
