"How is it? Did Master Rong Tian agree?"
The leather sofa was so soft that one could almost sink into it. However, the beautiful woman sitting on it had no intention of enjoying it at all. She clasped her hands tightly, and her slender waist instantly tensed when Mu Yunzhou raised his head.
"No, Master Rong Tian hasn't replied to me yet. Sister Pei, don't be anxious, just wait a little longer." Mu Yunzhou was startled by her actions. He looked up to meet her tense gaze and quickly comforted her.
“I see…”
Her fingertips were clenched so tightly that they turned almost white, and her beautifully trimmed nails were almost completely sunken into the flesh. However, Bai Peilan seemed to be completely unaware of the pain on the back of her hand, and she continued to stare at Mu Yunzhou without moving for a moment.
Or in other words——
Staring at the phone in his hand.
Mu Yunzhou felt a lot of pressure from her stare, but after looking at the other person's mental state, he didn't know what to say, so he had to lower his head and secretly prayed that Rong Jing would reply to him quickly.
But he was also a little puzzled. Although there were many people in the circle who knew that Rong Jing was a Heavenly Master, it seemed that not many people knew about it. He and Bai Peilan did not have much friendship. How did the other party know Rong Jing's identity and knew that he and Rong Jing were connected?
Mu Yunzhou tried to ask a question.
Perhaps because his question slightly diverted her attention, Bai Peilan relaxed her tense body a little, then curled her lips and forced a smile, "The news that there is a second male lead in the crew of "The Heavenly Master" who is a Heavenly Master has long spread throughout the circle. As for why I know that you, Pastor Brother, have a connection with Rong Tianshi..."
Everyone in the circle knows that the young movie star Mu Yunzhou has encountered many metaphysical events due to his weak destiny, so he loves to make friends with various masters in his life.
Now, among the actors filming with him, there is a genuine Taoist priest. Can he resist not making friends with him?
Mu Yunzhou: “…”
What you said makes a lot of sense, I am speechless.
Seeing that he looked somewhat speechless, the smile on Bai Peilan's face became much more genuine.
At this moment, the cell phone in Mu Yunzhou's hand suddenly made a soft "ding~" sound. Bai Peilan's body tensed up again, and her eyes quickly looked at his hand.
Mu Yunzhou was also a little nervous by her series of actions. He unlocked the screen with his fingerprint again, checked WeChat, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "Rong... Master Rong said that we can meet first."
Even though he knew that Rong Jing was the Heavenly Master, Mu Yunzhou was still a little bit incredulous besides being in awe.
After all, they had been filming together for nearly four months, and apart from his usually cold personality, Rong Jing did not seem to show much of the condescending attitude that a normal Heavenly Master would have towards ordinary people.
Recalling Rong Jing's delicate and cold beautiful face, Mu Yunzhou was inexplicably stunned for a moment, until Bai Peilan asked him nervously and pleasantly, he came back to his senses: "Well...but Master Rong Tian said he is not free these two days. If it is convenient, is next Saturday okay?"
Rong Jing's original words were naturally not so tactful. Mu Yunzhou translated his entire sentence almost exactly, and then looked at Bai Peilan.
"Only next Saturday?" She pursed her lips, somewhat unwillingly.
Mu Yunzhou took a look at the message sent by Rong Jing and nodded: "Well... Master Rong Tian will be attending a casting meeting recently, and has been studying the script recently, so..."
"Can you please tell Master Rong Tian that we can meet this afternoon? I'm willing to pay double the price." Bai Peilan's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Mu Yunzhou pleadingly.
Mu Yunzhou: "...Then let me ask again."
He and Bai Peilan were actually just artists from the same company, and they even had little contact with each other because of competition for resources. Bai Peilan suddenly came to him, and he was actually a little at a loss, but in the end, for the sake of the company's face, he asked Rong Jing another question.
Mu Yunzhou: Can we meet today?
Mu Yunzhou: She said she could offer twice the price
Mu Yunzhou: I think something really happened to her...
He didn't know how to ask Rong Jing for anything, so he just asked this question carefully under Bai Peilan's burning gaze.
Rong Jing looked at the messages he sent, his eyes lingered on the sentence "I think she really seemed to have encountered something" for a moment, and then he replied.
Rong Jing: Then this afternoon.
Mu Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief and replied "OK" before looking up and saying something to Bai Peilan.
Bai Peilan's tightly clenched hands loosened at once, and a little color appeared on his pale face: "...Thank you so much this time, Brother Pastor."
Mu Yunzhou waved his hand: "I can't say thank you, but..."
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Sister Pei, what on earth happened to you...?"
Bai Peilan's smile faltered, as if she was remembering some bad experience: "It's nothing, actually. I just feel like I've provoked something recently, and I can't sleep well every night."
Mu Yunzhou held back and didn't say directly, "Why don't you go to the sleep department of the hospital first?"
But he took a look at Bai Peilan's face and knew that the matter was probably not as simple as she just said, so he stopped asking and just picked up his phone and keys and said, "Master Rong Tian lives a little far away, so it would be more appropriate for us to go there now."
Bai Peilan was even more anxious than him and stood up immediately after hearing this.
Speaking of which, it was Mu Yunzhou who privately asked Ji Wan about Rong Jing's address. He didn't expect that the first visit was not for his own business.
On second thought, I think this is a good thing.
This means that his luck has been pretty good during this period and he hasn't encountered anything that requires him to ask for help from a master.
After packing up, Mu Yunzhou took his assistant and personally sent Bai Peilan to Rong Jing's house.
"Come in."
They had just stepped out of the elevator with a creaky sound when a house not far away opened its door.
Rong Jing's iconic silver hair appeared behind the door, his amber eyes looked indifferent as he glanced at them casually.
Bai Peilan was a little stunned for a moment.
Before she found Mu Yunzhou, she had looked up Rong Jing's information and knew that he was a celestial master with a somewhat cold temperament but a very high level of cultivation. She also knew that he was very handsome.
But it was still a little beyond Bai Peilan's expectations that it was so beautiful.
Pursing her lips, Bai Peilan clutched the small handbag in her hand and turned around to put on some lipstick.
Mu Yunzhou was also amazed by Rong Jing's outfit.
The snow-white shirt was buttoned up to the top button, and a black windbreaker was casually worn over it.
The crisp material fell down as he opened the door, and the fitted cut outlined his tall and beautiful figure.
There is a kind of restrained sexiness that is calm but captivating.
But Rong Jing himself seemed to have not realized it yet. Seeing them standing at the door motionless, he frowned slightly: "?"
Mu Yunzhou came back to his senses immediately, muttering to himself why he was staring at the man so dumbfounded, and greeted Rong Jing with a serious smile: "Master Rong, long time no see."
After filming together for a few months, Rong Jing found Mu Yunzhou quite pleasing to the eye, so he nodded slightly: "Long time no see."
"Just call me Rong Jing."
His attitude did not seem fake. Mu Yunzhou felt inexplicably happy, and the smile on his face became more genuine. He stepped aside and introduced Rong Jing: "This is my senior sister from the same company, Bai Peilan."
Bai Peilan had already finished applying her lipstick at this time. Seeing that Master Rong Tian's eyes fell on her, she quickly smiled and said, "Master Rong Tian."
"Yeah." Rong Jing responded lightly, then turned and walked in.
Mu Yunzhou and Bai Peilan hurriedly followed.
Bai Peilan actually didn't expect Rong Jing to live in such an ordinary neighborhood, and even the house was just a simple three-bedroom apartment.
She walked in and watched Rong Jing casually make a pot of tea. She quickly withdrew her gaze and sat on the sofa holding her handbag.
Mu Yunzhou was more relaxed than her. He reached out to take the cup and lowered his head to take a sip.
The tea was a little hot, but surprisingly fragrant. It was bitter with a long aftertaste, and Mu Yunzhou couldn't help but take another sip before putting down the cup: "It's worthy of being your tea, Rong Jing. It tastes really good."
Upon hearing this, Bai Peilan also picked up the cup and took a sip. After praising it for a few words, he went straight to the point and mentioned the purpose of his visit today.
"Master Rong, hello." Bai Peilan lowered her eyelashes, and her attitude was very respectful. "I shouldn't have been so presumptuous to disturb you, but I really encountered some bad things recently... Please help me."
Being able to work in the same company with Mu Yunzhou means there will be some competition for resources. Bai Peilan's status in the entertainment industry is naturally not bad, and she is a beauty just like her name.
At this moment, the beauty's rosy cheeks and soft voice can arouse the man's desire to protect her.
However, Master Rong was not an ordinary person. He was sitting casually on the sofa, his expression was as indifferent as when they entered the room.
Bai Peilan bit her lip and said, "It probably started last month. I had just finished filming and returned home from the crew. At the time, I just felt like something was wrong at home, but I didn't take it seriously."
Bai Peilan had just finished filming a TV series, and because she wanted to win an award, she was under a lot of pressure during the filming.
After the filming was finally completed, her agent didn't rush her to take any more notices, but instead gave her a few days to recuperate at home.
However, the day she returned home, Bai Peilan vaguely felt that something was wrong.
She bought a large flat in a high-end residential complex in Beijing. Most of the people who buy houses there are either celebrities or officials and wealthy people, so the privacy and security of the community are very good.
When Bai Peilan returned home, she initially thought that she was too nervous during filming and had some hallucinations. But after staying at home for a few days, she felt more and more that there seemed to be another person in her home.
But she didn't think about it in a metaphysical way at this time. She just suspected that when she was not at home before, the illegitimate fans found a way to enter the house and hid in her house -
Although this possibility is small, it does exist.
So Bai Peilan's expression turned cold at that moment, and she went out directly to call the property management to come up.
However, the property management checked her house carefully, even opening the storage cabinet under the kitchen, but did not find a single person.
Fortunately, the service of the community property was worthy of their high annual property fees. After finding nothing unusual in the house, the property invited Bai Peilan to watch the surveillance video of her floor during this period.
But nothing was found.
The property management tactfully advised her to get more rest.
Bai Peilan vaguely felt that it was not her hallucination, but faced with the surveillance footage that showed nothing unusual, she couldn't say a word to refute it.
Bai Peilan returned home half-believing and half-doubting, still uneasy. After thinking for a while, she called her assistant and moved to another house to stay temporarily.
However, this was just the beginning of Bai Peilan's nightmare.
At first, there was only a faint sound of water in the room. But later, the sound became louder and louder, and there was also a faint sound of something moving on the ground.
The room seemed to be getting colder and colder. It was early winter and Bai Peilan turned the air conditioner to 28 degrees, but she still felt cold.
She had consulted other masters before, but for some reason, those masters all looked helpless.
Until a few days ago, Bai Peilan could almost feel that thing coming to her side. The cold and slippery touch came from her ankle, and it was the other party trying to climb onto her body.
Fearful and helpless, Bai Peilan recalled the news she had heard from the crew before, that the second male lead in "The Legend of Heavenly Master" was actually a highly skilled Heavenly Master. After asking around, she went to Mu Yunzhou and begged Rong Jing for help.
Bai Peilan whispered what she had been going through during this period, then lowered her head in fear and took a sip of warm tea.
It was only then that Mu Yunzhou noticed that, compared to him and Rong Jing, Bai Peilan's clothes did seem a little too thick for this season.
As if noticing Mu Yunzhou's gaze, Bai Peilan put down the cup uncomfortably, then retracted her feet wearing thick snow boots.
Mu Yunzhou came to his senses and turned his head away politely.
Bai Peilan: "Anyway, I haven't slept well for half a month, and that thing seems to be getting closer and closer. I'm afraid..."
She looked pale, and even with delicate makeup on her face, it was obvious that she looked haggard.
Mu Yunzhou looked at him and felt a little sympathetic.
Although his horoscope is not very good, his luck is pretty good. Although he has encountered many strange and supernatural things from childhood to adulthood, he was able to resolve them quickly in the end. Unlike Bai Peilan, he was tortured into what he is now.
However, Master Rong's heart was obviously much colder than his.
Looking down at the trembling beauty sitting on the sofa, Rong Jing tapped her fingertips and said, "Are you sure you've finished talking?"
"Well... I've finished talking." Bai Peilan's eyelashes trembled, and then she pursed her lips and said, "Master Rong Tian, do you have any solution?"
She was really driven crazy by that thing during this period! If she could completely get rid of that thing, she would be willing to do so even if Rong Jing asked for a huge sum of money the next second.
However, Rong Jing looked at her indifferently and said nothing.
Those beautiful amber eyes seemed to be able to see into her heart and distinguish the truth from falsehood in every word she said.
The smile on Bai Peilan's face became more and more stiff, until finally, when it was almost unable to maintain, Rong Jing retracted his gaze and asked casually: "Didn't the other masters you invited say anything about what they saw?"
His tone was cold and calm, but Bai Peilan seemed to have been poked by something, and her voice suddenly rose a degree: "No!"
Realizing that he seemed a little too excited, Bai Peilan sat back on the sofa and said, "I mean, I don't know why those masters gave me a few talismans... and during this period of time, those talismans have almost been used up."
"Yeah." After a long time, Rong Jing finally responded lightly.
Mu Yunzhou vaguely sensed something, holding the teacup, keeping his mouth tightly shut and not interrupting.
After all, he and Bai Peilan are just colleagues in the same company.
Bai Peilan also clutched her handbag tightly.
Before this, she had consulted all the masters she could, but each one told her that it was karma and refused to get involved. The only one who was willing to give her a few talismans and give her some advice was because he once owed him a favor.
…She really couldn’t hold on any longer.
A pair of extremely charming eyes stared at Rong Jing closely. Bai Peilan was like a gambler who was going all out, with expectation in his eyes: "Master Rong...?"
Mu Yunzhou also silently looked up at Rong Jing.
"There is indeed a way, but you may not be willing to do it." Rong Jing said lightly.
Bai Peilan's facial features were indeed very outstanding, but in this entertainment industry full of beauties, she could only be described as above average.
It has to be said that she is extremely lucky to have come this far.
——But this kind of luck needs to be repaid.
Bai Peilan vaguely knew what Rong Jing was going to say next, but she still asked, "I wonder what method Master Rong Tian is talking about?"
"Return the property to its original owner and make amends." Rong Jing said calmly.
really.
Bai Peilan had expected this, but still felt unwilling to accept it: "Is there no other way, Master Rong? I can give you money, 500,000, no, one million! Is one million enough? You masters can all catch ghosts, right? As long as you help me kill that thing, I can give you two million!"
Rong Jing's eyes turned slightly cold, and he did not answer.
When Bai Peilan saw this, he knew that he had the same attitude as the previous masters.
Biting her lower lip with tears in her eyes, Bai Peilan gave in and said, "...Master Rong Tian, I will consider the method you just mentioned. But before that, can I ask Master Rong Tian to sell me a few talismans to protect myself for a while?"
Even though she was wearing thick winter clothes, she felt as if a piece of ice was pressing on her body, and her fingertips were frozen white.
Rong Jing looked at her for two seconds, then stood up, went to the study, took out three Yin-suppressing Talismans, and handed them over.
Bai Peilan took it quickly. As soon as she touched the bright yellow talisman paper, the lingering chill suddenly disappeared, and she felt a warm warmth all over her body.
In less than five minutes, Bai Peilan took off the fur coat she was wearing.
She was a little surprised. The talisman that the Heavenly Master who owed her a favor had a similar effect, but it was much less effective than the three talismans that Rong Jing brought out. Bai Peilan finally believed that Rong Jing was indeed a Heavenly Master with a high level of cultivation, but...
Bai Peilan lowered her eyes and transferred the money on her phone. The smile on her face was a little forced: "Thank you for your generosity, Master Rong Tian. I won't bother you any more today."
She stood up with her handbag. Mu Yunzhou was a little confused, but when he saw her say goodbye, he stood up too.
But before he left, he suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Rong Jing, "Well, I heard that you are going to attend a casting meeting recently. Is it the one for "The Third Man" that Xie Entertainment is planning to launch?"
At Mu Yunzhou's current position, many news in the circle would not be deliberately hidden from him. Rong Jing was not surprised that he knew the news. He raised his eyes and nodded slightly, which was considered an answer.
Mu Yunzhou also smiled: "I guessed it from the way you dressed and acted today. But I heard that Lin Ruisheng will also be attending the casting. Isn't there something wrong between you two... I'll tell you in advance."
But as he was speaking, he remembered the other identity of the person in front of him. Even if Lin Ruisheng really made trouble at that time, Rong Jing would not be the one who suffered in the end.
After all, behind Rong Jing stands not only the Wang family, but also the Xie Group.
Thinking of the rumors he had heard before that Rong Jing had some personal relationship with the head of the Xie family, Mu Yunzhou's smile faded, but he still earnestly taught Rong Jing many tips to improve his acting skills.
In his opinion, Rong Jing's acting talent is actually very good. It's just that for some reason, it seems that there was no systematic filming before, and many problems that newcomers would encounter during the performance appeared.
However, with Liu Zheng's training, Rong Jing's later performances have become less awkward, but he seems a little shallow in terms of emotional substitution for the role.
Mu Yunzhou's advice was directed at this aspect of his.
Rong Jing listened quietly, then said seriously: "Thank you."
Mu Yunzhou: "It's not a big deal, no need to thank me."
That being said, these experiences came from Mu Yunzhou's repeated struggles, so he himself didn't think they were important. However, Rong Jing couldn't have the same idea.
After thinking about it, Rong Jing reached into his windbreaker pocket and then handed over the Zhen Yin Talisman he found.
Mu Yunzhou's horoscope is rather weak, so it is very easy for him to be approached by dark things. With this Yin-suppressing talisman, he can avoid a lot of trouble.
Mu Yunzhou didn't expect that Rong Jing would actually give him a talisman in return after he just gave him a few casual instructions.
Mu Yunzhou accepted the Yin-suppressing Talisman with some surprise, and his smile became more sincere: "Then I'll take my leave too. Today... I may have caused you trouble, don't take it to heart."
There was obviously something fishy going on with Bai Peilan's case, and Mu Yunzhou was a little annoyed that he had brought her to Rong Jing without asking clearly.
But now that things have come to this, he can't say much and can only apologize to Rong Jing.
"Nothing." Rong Jing shook his head, as if he really didn't take it to heart.
Mu Yunzhou smiled again before turning around and leaving.
Rong Jing stood at the door, quietly watching their backs as they left.
In the cleaned corridor, there was a faint wet stain that spread all the way to the elevator entrance.
Rong Jing looked at it for a while, raised his hand and moved it slightly. A cluster of fire like a stream of light swept past with the talisman paper, and the faint yin energy remaining in the corridor was instantly burned away.
Then he withdrew his gaze, bent down and moved the broad-leaved orchid by the door to a position in the corridor where the sun was shining.
The flower bud, which was the size of a grain of rice some time ago, has now grown to the size of a thumb. Its light pink color amidst the green leaves makes it look particularly fragile and soft.
Just like human life.
Rong Jing looked at it for two seconds and then looked away.
He turned around and went back to the living room and threw all the used cups into the trash can.
He thought about it and took out the script. Following Mu Yunzhou's previous instructions, he tried a different way of performing.
