Chapter 977 You Have No Talent
After hearing Ye Wanxi's explanation, Director Jian almost couldn't catch his breath.
The people around also looked rather grim, and they huddled together in twos and threes, soon starting to whisper among themselves.
"This is truly outrageous! At least when renting a house, people know to clean up the room and return it to the landlord when they move out. What's wrong with these film crews? They rented someone's house to film, and then they messed it up like this afterward?"
"Exactly, exactly. Which production crew is so unethical? We're all in the same industry. I'll find out more about them. I won't dare to associate with them again. Who knows when they might scam me?"
The group discussed the matter with righteous indignation, and Sister Yao, who was standing nearby, twitched her lips slightly upon seeing this.
To be honest, this kind of thing is quite common in the industry. After filming, some production crews are too lazy to clean up. Those with good character will even hire a few hourly workers to help clean up. Some with bad character just pack up and leave, thinking that they have already paid to rent the place and can do whatever they want with it. They completely forget that the money they paid was just for rent, not for buying.
Sister Yao had seen similar things before, but the landlords who rented out their properties often ended up having to suffer in silence.
Why? Because most of these landlords are ordinary people who can't win a war of words against big production teams. In the end, they might even get bitten back and get themselves into trouble.
But what happened today...
Director Jian's face turned bright red; he was itching to find those unscrupulous film crews who had indirectly caused his downfall and give them a good beating.
Fortunately, he still retained a shred of rationality. He took several deep breaths and barely managed to suppress his anger before turning to look at Ye Wanxi.
Unlike his initial frustration and awkwardness, his gaze towards Ye Wanxi was now increasingly complicated. He wanted to say something, but didn't know how to begin.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up and said, "Now that these things have been salvaged, does that mean this place is...?"
"Yes, there are no problems now." After saying that, Ye Wanxi seemed to think of something and asked again, "Are those staff members who were bewitched by the resentment in the well and almost jumped into it in the middle of the night still around? Although the well issue has been resolved, they are still tainted with some yin energy, so it's best to get rid of it as soon as possible."
"People who have stayed in this house in the past few days should also be careful. Avoid going to damp and cold places recently, and get more sunshine to replenish your yang energy."
Even Sister Yao, the logistics staff member in charge of makeup, was tainted with yin energy, which shows how powerful this thing is.
Fortunately, Ye Wanxi arrived in time; otherwise, everyone staying there would probably have been in trouble.
Upon hearing this, Director Jian swallowed hard and tentatively asked, "Would it be dangerous if we didn't remove it?"
"Yes, this thing can easily affect other people's luck. You know, luck is unpredictable. Some people are so unlucky that even drinking cold water can cause them to have problems. At best, they might just get sick, but at worst, they could lose a hand or foot or even their life."
Upon hearing how serious the situation was, Director Jian didn't dare to delay and quickly asked the production assistants to help contact the staff who had been frightened and were resting at home.
Ye Wanxi waited on set for another hour, removing the yin energy that had clung to the crew members before leaving.
When she left, Director Jian specially wrapped a package in red envelopes for her. Ye Wanxi didn't see much of it and just accepted it.
It's worth mentioning that after Ye Wanxi sealed the well, Shang Jiajia turned into a little tail, following Ye Wanxi around happily.
Seeing that she was about to leave, she called out anxiously, "Sister Ye!"
Ye Wanxi: "???" Why did she call her "sister"? Are they that close?
But this young girl was clearly quite outgoing; after stopping him, she immediately asked, "Sister Ye, you're so amazing, do you take on apprentices?"
"..." Little girl, something's wrong with you!
Ye Wanxi looked Shang Jiajia up and down, then coughed lightly and said, "You want to be my apprentice?"
Shang Jiajia's eyes brightened slightly, and she nodded hurriedly.
"Why?"
"Because you're amazing!" Shang Jiajia said, gesturing as she spoke. "The yellow talisman on the well was pasted up in a flash; I didn't even see what happened. It was so cool! And the things in the well—you didn't even get close, yet you knew there were so many things inside. It's incredible!"
Shang Jiajia stared at Ye Wanxi with bright, sparkling eyes, as if she were looking at some amazing treasure.
Ye Wanxi felt a chill run down her spine from her gaze, and her lips twitched before she said, "Learning this isn't for showing off, you..."
"I know!" Before Ye Wanxi could finish speaking, Shang Jiajia interrupted her, "Learning this is definitely for the purpose of helping the weak and fighting evil, eliminating demons and monsters, and protecting ordinary people. I understand, I understand."
Ye Wanxi: "..." What do you know? So every young person has a delusional dream of becoming a martial arts hero and saving the world? Regardless of gender!
Ye Wanxi took a deep breath and continued, "Learning this might involve encountering many terrible things; what we've covered today is just an appetizer."
"I'm not afraid!" Shang Jiajia said with absolute confidence.
After finally managing to discuss the follow-up filming issues with Director Jian, I turned around and found that Shang Jiajia's agent had disappeared. As soon as I got close, I heard the two talking, and my scalp tingled. I almost knelt down on the spot because my legs went weak.
"My little darling, I'm begging you, can't we just stop this from happening?" The manager grabbed Shang Jiajia's hand and pulled her behind her, exhausted. "It was one thing to want to try racing cars and shooting before, but now you dare to touch this stuff? If your brother finds out, he'll skin us alive!"
When Shang Jiajia heard her bring up her brother again, she muttered indignantly, "You just know how to use my brother to pressure me. If you don't tell and I don't tell, how will he know?"
The agent almost choked on his breath: "You..."
Shang Jiajia ignored her and looked at Ye Wanxi with anticipation: "I'm really not afraid, okay?"
"Can't."
"...Why?" Shang Jiajia's expression stiffened slightly, and she said aggrievedly, "If you're worried about my brother, don't worry, he doesn't really care about me. Even if he did, I would persuade him to stop."
"It has nothing to do with your brother."
Why is that?
"You have no talent."
"Talent?" Shang Jiajia was stunned.
Do you have the ability to see ghosts?
Shang Jiajia shook her head.
Can you see ghosts?
Shang Jiajia shook her head again.
Can you see yin energy?
Shang Jiajia shook her head again.
"You can't see anything, how can you help the weak and fight the strong, how can you slay demons and monsters? If a ghost is standing in front of you, circling around and attacking you, you won't even be able to react. What good will you do if you learn this? Join those victims like the Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather, or go and deliver vegetables?"
Shang Jiajia: "..." The damage wasn't great, but the insult was extremely strong, and she burst into tears!
