133 Chapter 133
Ning Shu certainly would not let go of the goodwill that Tianyan Sect offered her. She readily agreed to their request for internet access and asked them for a huge sum of money for the purchase of tree species.
After everything was settled, Ning Shu showed the clan leader the tree species they had subscribed to during the video call and made a promise: "Don't worry, our cooperation contract will be mailed to you soon. After it is signed, we will announce the news on the evening news. Do you have any other requirements?"
"We can discuss other things later, but I wonder how long it will take for this tree to grow to a size that can cover the entire Tianyan Sect?" The Sect Master looked at the golden bean sprout with some curiosity. "Is there any way to make it grow faster?"
"The growth rate of this tree species is related to the number of followers of the connector. So far, the more well-known members of your sect include Qiao Shuda, Ji Chuanbai, and Taoist Master Xu Hengzi. I have transferred them all to this tree species." Ning Shu said, demonstrating the thin golden lines to the person on the other side of the video.
"As long as they can attract enough fans, the tree can be transplanted there in a few months."
The clan leader, eager to connect to the internet, rubbed his chin and thought, Ji Chuanbai is still in seclusion with his wife, and Xu Hengzi probably has more haters than fans. After digging around, he had no choice but to put this difficult task on Qiao Shuda:
"I heard Qiao Shuda has signed a long-term acting contract with you guys? So please promote it more. If you need money, just let me know. I can invest more."
Anyway, Tianyan Sect is not short of money, so reputation and influence are more important.
Ning Shu, who had just ripped off a wave of opponents, felt embarrassed to ask for money right away, so she smiled and gave an "OK" sign: "Don't worry, we'll need his cooperation in the later promotion of our movie. I'm relieved to hear your words. I will definitely help him gain the most fans in the shortest time."
As a result, Qiao Shuda, who had been living a very miserable life recently, became even more miserable.
At the beginning of filming, for the sake of later commercial promotion, he of course registered an account on Wutongzhimu. Before the movie was aired, this account had very few fans, so he simply made an identity verification and left it there. In addition, he was depressed and hopeless at that time, so connecting to the Internet did not have any impact on his life.
But after the movie was released, everything was different.
"Shuda, log in to your account and start business. Elder Zixiao said that many fans are waiting." Yaohua would come and knock on his door to notify him from time to time.
Qiao Shuda, the "elderly man" who has lived in seclusion for hundreds of years: ...
"How can I open the business? I don't have any store under my name..." He looked at a loss.
"That's right, you don't seem to understand these things very well..." Yaohua frowned and thought for a moment: "Well, let me guide you, starting with posting photos!"
Therefore, an "old man" who has long been unable to keep up with the times can only learn to act cool from scratch under Yaohua's guidance. The difficulty of the posture is secondary. The main thing is that the shame is really hard to overcome.
"Yao, Miss Yaohua, isn't this shot too close..." Qiao Shuda blushed as he pushed the Spirit Shadow Stone, which was almost right in front of his face, away: "Can't we shoot from further away?"
"No, no! The selling point of selfies is to let fans admire your beautiful face up close. It's meaningless if they're far away!" Yaohua half-crouched and continued to move the camera forward, occasionally giving some instructions:
"Shuda, don't worry, your face is perfect even when photographed from above. Come, look at the camera. Let's take a girlfriend's perspective this time!"
"I cultivate the Way of Mercilessness..."
"It's okay, it's okay, just treat it as a movie. Come on, Taoist Brother, relax..."
"Open your collar a little!"
"This pose is too stupid, with your hand supporting your forehead and a gentle expression... Never mind, just be a little more cool!"
"Hurry up and change into Taoist Tang's costume. Take this opportunity to take a few more pictures so you can ship directly to stock later!"
After finally completing a nine-square grid, this newly promoted master in the God Transformation Stage felt like half his life was gone. He sat in the yard dying and clicked send. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, his face was immediately covered with all kinds of comments and private messages.
Taoist Tang's fourth disciple: Ahhhhh! Taoist Tang, you're finally open for business! Screensaver set! Your photos are so sexy!
Can't fall in love, can only eat some sweets: Tang Daochang, why are you leaving! Why! Come back to the Kingdom of Daughters, okay? Okay!
Wuqingdaodu go to talk about love for me: Hehe, this photo doesn't look like a selfie. With this shooting technique and this composition, who helped take this photo? It's so hard to guess! [smirk][smirk]
Ordinary citizens of the Kingdom of Daughters: I know! Here is a beautiful photo of Her Majesty the Queen for everyone to see! The same overhead photo of Her Majesty the Queen.jpg
Is it true that all prayers work: I hit it, I hit it, I hit it! Some people are ruthless and appear cold-blooded, but in fact, the business photos are all taken by their good wives~
I'm from the Tianyan Hehuan Sect: Why do we have to distribute them separately? I'll restore them for you, take them without thanking me!
This comment was accompanied by a picture of the two of them put together. The upward-looking photo of Qiao Shuda and the downward-looking photo of Yaohua looked very harmonious together. It looked as if they were standing under a paulownia tree and looking at each other affectionately.
There were a bunch of thank yous for helping out, and someone even asked him to post in the super chat, all using a bunch of words Qiao Shuda couldn't understand. He frowned and read for a long time, and finally quietly exited the page. He looked up at Yao Hua, who was in a good mood:
"It seems like a lot of viewers can't distinguish between movies and reality. They seem to think we're together. Isn't this bad for your reputation? Should we clarify this?"
Who would have thought that Yao Hua didn't care at all, and was actually amused by his serious look and laughed out loud: "If I cared about reputation, I wouldn't have come to the Hehuan Sect. Let them spread the word, it will help increase the number of fans."
Qiao Shuda hesitated for a moment, then showed Yaohua the photo of them gazing at each other affectionately. His serious face showed genuine worry: "But these people have already started spreading rumors. After all, you are a girl..."
Yaohua had long been accustomed to being surrounded by scandals since joining the Hehuan Sect. After gaining access to the internet, she had been a trendsetter. Suddenly, she saw this old-fashioned guy who couldn't even keep up with the 2G network, and she couldn't help but laugh at his serious demeanor.
"Haha, that's not a rumor at all. It's just fan art, don't take it too seriously."
"Who is this fellow?"
"It's not someone... I really can't explain it to you..." Yaohua was distressed for a moment, and then chose to help Qiao Shuda open their CP super topic:
"Here it is. There are fan art and fan fiction everywhere. There are works by Taoist Tang and the Queen, as well as works by me and you. They are all created spontaneously by netizens. The Young Sect Leader said it's called generating electricity for love... In short, these are some fictional works that can still attract fans, so I'll just leave them there. Don't take them too seriously."
Seeing that the old man started to frown and read the super topic again, Yaohua didn't plan to stay any longer. She waved goodbye to Qiao Shuda and flew slowly towards the dormitory.
At this time, Qiao Shuda was still trying to understand what "fan fiction" was. He flipped through several posts before he could barely understand that this should be some fictional work. Just when he clicked on a new post, he suddenly found that this post seemed different from the previous posts of articles and pictures.
Baota Linglong Thirteen Spices: Sisters, the previous post was clamped again! Damn it, I will never admit defeat, this post has a picture, everyone flip it to see it again!
Qiao Shuda: What is so mysterious?
With some simple curiosity, he clicked on the picture below. The dense handwriting was indeed upside down. He had no idea how to mirror and flip it, so he had to turn the light screen in front of him over and over again. It took him a long time to finally see the normal article.
Qiao Shuda could smell the faint fragrance of Yaohua's body. The touch of her warmth was even more distinct in the cold night. Yaohua's fair face was tinged with a faint pink, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her clothes...
Because he read so quickly, by the time he finally realized what he had seen, it was already too late.
Qiao Shuda's face flushed red as he fell off the bench. He closed all the pages in a panic, then crawled into the room, shivering under the quilt. His mind was even more chaotic than when he was going through the mental tribulation.
God have mercy on him, he is just a ruthless Taoist monk who has been single for hundreds of years. His only first love only lasted for a few months, and at most they just held hands and hugged each other. The article just now was really too stimulating for him.
No, no! I can't go on like this! I have to make it clear to these nonsense netizens! I am a serious and sincere monk of the Wuru Dao! I'm not like, like that...
Thinking of this, he sat up from the quilt, opened his Wutongzhimu account, and planned to post a clarification statement.
At this moment, Shuangqihua received a ding-dong sound and a private message from a friend popped up. He clicked it and saw that it was from the sect leader.
Sect Leader: You must cooperate with the Hehuan Sect in publicity. The future of the sect depends on you.
Qiao Shuda: ...
How much sorrow can you have? It's like selling a centenarian to a brothel.
So in the following period of time, Qiao Shuda and Yao Hua had endless double interviews, double videos, and double meet-and-greets. Qiao Shuda couldn't look Yao Hua in the eye for a long time after he read that pornographic article that day, and Yao Hua was the type who was very good at business, so every time the two of them appeared, one was shy and the other was proactive, and by some coincidence, they even continued the way they got along in the movie.
"Excuse me, do you two think it's possible for Taoist Master Tang to return to the Kingdom of Women in the future?" The lucky audience member who was picked to ask a question at the fan meeting of the two people held the microphone with excitement, his face flushed red, and he looked at the two people sitting side by side on the stage with a face full of gossip:
"What are your future plans off-screen? Will you work together again?"
Qiao Shuda sat next to Yao Hua with his ears red. He didn't dare to make eye contact with the other party at all. If they got a little closer, it would cause cheers from the audience.
"Master Tang probably won't go back. He will continue on his journey of experience until he achieves perfection and becomes an immortal... These two people can only be destined to be apart..." He tried to sit upright and answer the audience's questions seriously, for fear that if he behaved incorrectly, he would be caught by these fans and add another piece of evidence to the pile of evidence that he loved Yaohua.
In comparison, Yaohua was much more relaxed. She took the microphone with a smile on her face and even dared to take the initiative to joke: "Although they didn't have the chance to meet again in the play, Shuda and I get along very well. We are good friends now, and I look forward to working with him more in the future."
After finally wrapping up a day of interviews, Qiao Shuda lay exhausted on his bed after work. He pulled up Wutong's Eyes and began an intense self-search: "I didn't dare to look around this time. I hope no one will say anything nonsense again..."
As soon as I typed my name into the search bar, a dazzling array of news popped up, and the one at the top was the interview from today.
The Wuqing Dao and the Hehuan Sect are a perfect match: Hahaha, look how shy our Xiao Qiao is, she doesn’t even dare to look at Yaoyao!
I also love watching If Love Has Romance: I laughed to death and my ears turned red. It’s just like when I sit next to my secret crush.
Is Qi Prayer Effective?: I'm from the Tianyan Sect. Anyway, we brothers and sisters don't act like this when we sit together. What's going on? It's so hard to guess.jpg
Tiantiantiantiantiantian: Let us speak the truth - be open and honest with each other and be true brothers, don’t be awkward little lovers!
Qiao Shuda: ...
No, that’s not what you said when I was being frank yesterday!
Please, God, distinguish between loyalty and treachery!
【Author’s words】
When they acted openly and honestly, netizens said: They look like an old married couple [laughing]
