Chapter 87: The Realm of Delusion
In the cafeteria, when Ji Ruoxuan and Bi Yan finished their meal and were waiting for Jiang Wu to come back, Qin Yuyan came over and asked about their show.
Ji Ruoxuan naturally told him everything he knew, and Qin Yuyan also listened patiently with a smile on his face, asking a few questions from time to time.
Slowly talking about the attack by the mandrill last night, Qin Yuyan was surprised when she heard that Jiang Wu saved Ji Ruoxuan. "Mr. Jiang looks gentle, but he is so powerful. Did you learn martial arts before?"
"That's not—"
Ji Ruoxuan was about to answer when Yao Ping suddenly interrupted him, "Boss Qin, our Boss Han may need some more time, why don't you go see Taoist Priest Tan Ling first?"
Qin Yuyan paused for a moment, then smiled at Ji Ruoxuan, "I will watch this show when I get back."
"Thank you!"
Qin Yuyan and his assistant turned around to greet Cheng Ye and Teng Hongfei at the next table and said goodbye, while Yao Ping stood there without moving, obviously having something to say.
Bi Yan could tell that Han Zhong, the assistant, was interrupting Ji Ruoxuan on purpose, so he asked directly, "Assistant, is there anything else?"
"My last name is Yao. I'm sorry for being rude."
Yao Ping nodded slightly, "You two are Mr. Jiang's friends, so I won't beat around the bush. Mr. Jiang often plays games with you two, so it's inevitable that he will share some personal matters. Considering the complexity of Mr. Jiang's work environment and his safety, Mr. Han hopes that you two will try not to disclose Mr. Jiang's personal matters to outsiders. I hope you two will understand."
The two people opposite were stunned. Although they were prepared, it was obvious that they were not prepared enough.
Although he guessed that Jiang Wu had a good relationship with Mr. Han, he didn't expect that the other party even knew about Jiang Wu playing games and chatting with them, and even came to remind them not to disclose it to outsiders. This was scary.
"May I ask what is the relationship between President Han and Jiang Wu——"
"friend."
Yao Ping then looked at Ji Ruoxuan and said, "Besides, our President Han has never played with any female's feelings, nor has he had many girlfriends."
Ji Ruoxuan said cautiously, "...So?"
"So I hope Mr. Ji will stop telling Mr. Jiang about President Han cheating on girls."
"I didn't mention President Han? What I told Jiang Wu was..." Ji Ruoxuan suddenly paused, and then slowly widened his eyes, "Jiang Wu said that the friend who was coming to visit the set was President Han?!"
Yao Ping nodded solemnly, "Our President Han did accompany President Qin to Qingyang Temple for business, and he did not mean to break the appointment."
The two people on the opposite side were dumbfounded after hearing this. It turned out that they had guessed Yang Han for a long time and had guessed the wrong person, and they had just scolded him in front of President Han, calling him a scumbag, a playboy, and a bad person.
Ji Ruoxuan suddenly remembered that when they were having dinner, Mr. Han suddenly asked her what her name was and said that she remembered him, as well as the pair of broken chopsticks.
His face turned pale and he murmured, "It's over, it's over. My career as a star has just begun and it's over..."
After saying: "..."
When Jiang Wu came back, he saw Ji Ruoxuan's desperate look and couldn't help wondering, "What happened to him?"
Bi Yan replied, "It will be banned."
Jiang Wu was dumbfounded. "Why?"
Final words: "Because of spreading rumors."
Jiang Wu was confused, and Ji Ruoxuan grabbed his arm with a sad look on his face, "Brother, isn't the one who said he would come to visit you and then turned you down Yang Han?"
"……who?"
"Yang Han, the second son of Yangfan Group!" Ji Ruoxuan said angrily, "We talked about this when we were playing games that day. I asked you where your friend came from and how he could live in Ziyuan. You said his family sells home appliances!"
"Yes, it sells home appliances."
"You're talking about the Huayue Group, and you're saying it sells home appliances?!"
Jiang Wu was stunned. "Aren't laptops considered home appliances?"
Ji Ruoxuan was about to cry, "What era did you travel from? Anything that is not plugged in is a home appliance, and a laptop is a smart product, my brother!"
Jiang Wu suddenly realized something and asked, "What does this have to do with you being banned?"
Bi Yan recounted what had happened. Jiang Wu had a surprised expression after listening to it. He thought to himself that no wonder these two had posted so many stories about scumbags in the group before. The first link he saw did have a person named Yang Han who seemed to have a very bad reputation, but Han Zhong happened to be in that ranking as well, which led to his misunderstanding.
"I'm sorry, I didn't explain it clearly, but don't worry, Han Zhong will not ban you or cause you any trouble."
"But he asked me my name and said he remembered me." Ji Ruoxuan said pitifully, "Doesn't he mean to ban me?"
Jiang Wu explained seriously, "He's not that stingy."
"Really?"
"real."
Jiang Wu turned his head and looked at the dining table, "Where are the others?"
"Professor Cheng has taken other guests to see the Taoist priest Tan Ling. Director Yang asked us to wait for you to come back and go together." Bi Yan glanced behind him, "Where is President Han?"
Jiang Wuyi paused, "He also went to see Taoist Master Tan Ling."
Han Zhong said that they came to find a man named Zhou Yannan.
In the living room, Bai Xianling, who was wearing a blue Taoist robe and had gray hair, sighed at the man and woman in front of him, "The Zhou family has already told me the purpose of your visit, but I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I'm afraid that Brother Zhou won't come to Qingyang Temple in the near future."
Qin Yuyan's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there something urgent? Where is he now? We can go find him ourselves."
Bai Xianling shook his head. "You can't find him. He himself doesn't know where he is. But he was indeed temporarily trapped by an urgent matter. It seems to be quite difficult. It is estimated that he will not be able to return in the short term."
Han Zhong said calmly, "Are you sure he's not being pretentious on purpose?"
"No." Tan Ling looked at him helplessly and smiled, "You should be the child of the Han family, right?"
Han Zhong really didn't like Taoist priests, but he still respected the old man and replied, "Han Zhong."
Bai Xianling looked at him with a smile, "Twenty-eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. You have grown up so much. How have you been these years?"
"It's not bad."
Since no one was there, Han Zhong had no intention of staying any longer. "I'm sorry to bother you, Taoist Priest. Goodbye."
Bai Xianling smiled and said, "I'll take you down the mountain."
Han Zhong was startled, and looking at his slightly slow movements, he politely declined, "No need, we know the way."
Luo Yun, who was standing by, also said, "You are not in good health, so I will just take them down the mountain."
"It's okay." Bai Xianling stood up from the chair and walked out the door with his hands behind his back, "Let's go."
Han Zhong frowned as he watched his slow steps, thinking that if the old man accidentally fell, he would have to be sent to the hospital.
Compared to Han Zhong's impatience, Qin Yuyan seemed very uneasy and looked very bad. After Bai Xianling sent them out, she finally couldn't help but speak, "Master, my father's illness can't be delayed any longer. If I can't see Master Zhou, what can you do?"
Bai Xianling turned to look at her and smiled helplessly, "I'm just a Taoist priest, not a doctor. How can I treat your father?"
Qin Yuyan was unwilling to give in. "But aren't you a friend of Taoist Zhou? People say that you are very good at fortune-telling and have great magical powers. Don't you have any way to cure diseases and save lives?"
"Hahaha!" Bai Xianling laughed, "Do I look like someone with great magical powers?"
After hearing this, Han Zhong began to have a favorable impression of the old Taoist priest. At least he was not the kind of liar who boasted about his abilities.
At this moment, Cheng Ye walked in with Yang Chen and several guests. He first revealed his identity as a folklore professor, and then expressed his desire to talk to Taoist Master Tan Ling and whether he could take a photo.
Bai Xianling smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I'm old, you guys can talk to my apprentice."
After saying this, he was about to turn around and walk back. At this moment, Jiang Wu came over with Ji Ruoxuan and Bi Yan. Bai Xianling suddenly paused and stared at Jiang Wu who was walking towards him from a distance. Even his slightly squinted eyes opened, and his cloudy pupils glowed.
Jiang Wu subconsciously looked at Han Zhong in the crowd, and then noticed the old Taoist priest next to him. He suddenly paused, with a look of surprise on his face.
Are there still Taoists who have cultivated to the state of delusional mind in modern society?
