When Gu Lingqing returned to the villa, it was already past one in the afternoon. His father, mother, and younger brother Gu Lingfeng were sitting in the living room watching the TV series "Da Qin".
"sister!"
After regaining his hearing, Gu Lingfeng became much more cheerful. When he saw Gu Lingqing, he immediately jumped off the sofa and ran towards her.
"You're back. Have you had lunch?"
Gu's father and mother also looked at her with relief and joy.
"I've eaten." Gu Lingqing reached out and scratched Gu Lingfeng's furry head. He smiled and said to the two elders, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to join the crew for filming starting tomorrow. I might not be back for half a year. If you have any questions, remember to call me."
"Okay." Gu Mushan nodded and said with concern: "You should also balance work and rest when filming, don't get too tired."
"Qing'er, look, are you going to act with this Qin Shi Huang this time?" Zhao Shuran pointed at the handsome and awe-inspiring young emperor on TV and asked with an aunt's smile.
"That's right. He's the male lead in every movie and TV series." Gu Lingqing nodded, brought Gu Lingfeng to the sofa, and said with a smile, "My cultivation has greatly improved recently. I came back today mainly to help you guys take care of your health."
"Health preservation?" Zhao Shuran, distracted by the topic, looked puzzled. Isn't health preservation about strengthening the body and prolonging life through exercise and diet? How did she maintain her health?
"You'll know in a moment." Gu Lingqing looked at Zhao Shuran and made a "please" gesture, indicating that she should come first.
"Okay." Looking at the mysterious smile on Gu Lingqing's face, Zhao Shuran sat down with a smile, as if letting her do what she wanted.
Gu Mushan and Gu Lingfeng were also looking at the two of them curiously from both sides.
Gu Lingqing first gave Zhao Shuran a small bottle of medicine, and then, with the appearance of a hermit, he began to draw the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and continuously injected it into her body.
A hazy glow suddenly appeared on Zhao Shuran's body.
Gu Lingqing gently patted various parts of her body, helped her to activate blood circulation, massage, knead and press.
The effect was extremely obvious. The wrinkles on Zhao Shuran's face were visibly smoothed and disappeared.
The aging skin begins to become rosy and shiny, and some stiff joints gradually become flexible and agile.
Both father and son were stunned.
"Okay." Gu Lingqing gestured for Zhao Shuran to look in the mirror.
Then, under her surprised and disbelieving eyes, she gave Gu Mushan the same massage again.
“It’s amazing!”
"Are these all the magical techniques your master taught you?"
Gu's father and mother looked at themselves in the mirror and saw that they had become much younger. They were completely shocked and felt that their worldview had been overturned.
"Yes." Gu Lingqing nodded and said to them, "You need to keep fit gradually. I will give you another round of health care in a few years."
"In four years, when Ling Feng reaches the optimal age for cultivation, I will also teach him. As for you..."
Before Gu Lingqing could finish her words, Zhao Shuran waved her hand and said, "Let's just forget it. It's fine to be an ordinary citizen."
Gu Mushan agreed, "Your mother is right. We are both very old. This road is not easy to walk. We don't have the talent. Everyone will be born, grow old, get sick and die. Your mother and I have seen through it a long time ago."
For thousands of years, they have not heard of any people practicing cultivation.
Even if there are, the number must be small.
Their daughters were chosen by the "experts", so they must be rare geniuses. There is really no need to waste training resources on them.
They only hope that their daughter can go higher and further, instead of being dragged down by them, the old couple.
Gu Lingqing looked at his parents seriously and said, "Don't overthink it, and don't feel pressured. Just practice with them every day, just like strengthening your bodies, and strive to live for hundreds of years."
"Haha, hundreds of years old, doesn't that mean it's almost as old as a thousand-year-old turtle?" Zhao Shuran joked with a smile.
Gu Lingqing was speechless, "I was quite touched."
"Huh?" Zhao Shuran was puzzled. "What does it mean?"
"Nothing." Gu Lingqing shook his head, stretched out his hand, and directly transmitted the initial stage of the skills into their minds.
Gu's father and mother were once again stunned by this miraculous method.
"I have something to do later, so I'll leave first. Oh, by the way, I've hired two nannies for you, one to do housework and the other to cook. They will probably arrive in the afternoon." After saying that, Gu Lingqing smiled and went out without waiting for them to refuse.
…
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Wearing sunglasses, Gu Lingqing entered a high-end and fashionable tea shop.
In the private room, Qiu Yingran, Zhao Yunhan, Cen Mingxuan, Shi Haoran and Wang Xiuran were chatting while staring at the door from time to time.
"Teacher Qiu, I heard that you have taken on several dramas and they won't be finished until next year. So don't join in the fun." Zhao Yunhan looked at Qiu Yingran and advised her earnestly.
Qiu Yingran smiled at her and said, "I'm sorry, I've already turned them all down."
"Okay, I won't let you go anyway." Zhao Yunhan clenched her fists. As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the box was pushed open from the outside.
Gu Lingqing, dressed in a casual yet intellectual outfit, took off his sunglasses and walked in.
Zhao Yunhan jumped up from her seat and came forward with a smile on her face. She said enthusiastically, "Ling Qing, you're finally here. I missed you so much. It feels like a long time since we last met. It's been so long!"
Gu Lingqing glanced at her and reminded her with a half-smile, "The show is over."
"This is what I really feel from the bottom of my heart!" Zhao Yunhan said sincerely without blushing at all.
Qiu Yingran twitched the corners of her mouth.
Tsk, who can’t act?
Thinking about it, she also came forward and said with a pitiful face: "Ling Qing, please save the child. There is really no filming. I don't want much, just 100,000 per episode."
Zhao Yunhan was stunned for a moment, then immediately waved her hand and said, "10,000 per episode is enough for me!"
Cen Mingxuan and several other male comrades were all stunned when they heard this.
Is the competition so fierce?
They knew clearly that as a top-tier superstar, Qiu Yingran's TV series would earn at least 800,000 per episode!
And now, she only charges 100,000 per episode?
Zhao Yunhan was even more exaggerated, she actually lowered the price directly to 10,000?
At that moment, Cen Mingxuan and the other two wanted to just say they would star in the film for free.
"You two really passed." Gu Lingqing shook his head speechlessly and smiled, saying, "Although I'm very poor, I wouldn't give you a bargain, right?"
"I don't care, I just want ten thousand!" Zhao Yunhan said with a determined look, "I asked someone to calculate it, and this number is my lucky number for the second half of the year!"
