Chapter 49

Just as he was about to leave, the old man kept <Song Jixing> back and talked to her for a long time, trying to steer the conversation towards martial arts.

As a result, the crew treated <Song Jixing> in a very friendly manner, and told her the results directly on the spot.

<Song Jixing>'s interview results were excellent, she could directly proceed to the second round without waiting for notification, though the specifics still depended on the director taking a look.

With satisfactory results in hand, <Song Jixing> got into the car that <Xu Kai> had come to pick her up in.

There was an awards ceremony in Y City tonight. Though the awards had nothing to do with her, because the sponsors of the ceremony had recently signed <Song Jixing> for an endorsement, she had to walk the red carpet.

Walking the red carpet was simple, she just had to make an appearance, the company would arrange makeup artists and dresses for her.

The problem was, on the way to the ceremony in the car, <Song Jixing>'s palm started burning again, and burning fiercely.

Even when <WenRen Older> had suddenly appeared last time, it hadn't burned this badly. Could it be another magical resurrection was going to happen before her eyes?

With this thought, <Song Jixing> glanced at the few people in the van.

<Xu Kai> was sitting next to her, along with <Xiao Wang> and her makeup artist. Other than the makeup artist tidying up her kit, the other two were looking at their phone screens, minding their own business.

Bang! It sounded like something heavy had hit the car, startling its occupants and making them look around.

Sensing the people's approach, <Song Jixing> quickly used her spiritual power to hide the person on the car roof, isolating their voice, figure, and even trapping them on the roof so they couldn't move.

The driver took a turn and stopped at the roadside.

The people in the car got out one by one to check out the situation outside.

It had just sounded like something heavy hit the top, but there was nothing on the car roof!

In their line of sight, the car roof was empty. But in <Song Jixing>'s view, three men were standing on the roof, desperately pulling at their own legs and gesturing wildly at the air.

A leaf drifted down lazily from a tree and landed on the white car roof, extremely conspicuous.

<Xu Kai> was closest to the car and took a step forward, intending to pick up the leaf.

"Wait!" <Song Jixing> suddenly said, interrupting <Xu Kai>'s actions.

She quickly went forward and blew the leaf off the roof.

The leaf had just nearly fallen on their heads, but <Song Jixing> had used her spiritual power to blow it off course.

<Xu Kai> stood stiffly in place, a panicked expression on his face. "What's wrong?" His voice was very soft.

"It's nothing, I heard there's a bacteria being spread by the city's trees recently that can infect people. Don't touch any leaves with your hands." <Song Jixing> earnestly told a blatant lie using scientific knowledge.

<Xu Kai> oh'ed and some of the tension left his body. He dryly said to <Song Jixing> next to him, "Thanks."

"You're welcome, we're almost late, let's go quickly and come back quickly." <Song Jixing> said.

They were almost late!

"Done already!" <Song Jixing> directly got in the car, ignoring the wiggling eyebrows and meaningful looks from the people on the roof.

She knew the fellow sect members had recognized her, but there was no way around it, she could only take them for a ride first.

"Is that so? So fast?" <Xu Kai> said in wonder, and had the driver take <Song Jixing> home.

When the car door opened, <Song Jixing> got out wearing her casual clothes. She walked forward a few steps, watching the car leave.

Behind her, three people slowly walked out, madly moving their mouths as they struggled against the air.

Because the three men had rather eccentric appearances, they attracted a lot of looks.

Many people who were out for late night strolls looked at them, pointed and discussed, some even came up wanting to take photos together.

The three remained silent, all rejected by <Song Jixing>.

It wasn't until <Song Jixing> took them to <WenRen He>'s rented accommodation that she removed the restrictions on them. Thinking of the spiritual power spent on the restrictions, <Song Jixing> felt extremely pained.

"<Song Jixing>, <WenRen Older>!" <Qi Yun> turned around and bowed to the two.

Seeing their strange outfits, <Qi Yun> hesitated over what to say.

Behind <Qi Yun> were junior disciples who were responsible for cleaning at the treasure house entrance. After <Qi Yun> spoke, they also greeted the two.

<Song Jixing> was brief. "This is not an illusion, it's an ordinary person's world. You were also sucked in by the explosion of the <Divine Cauldron>!"

<Qi Yun> was stunned for a moment before nodding. "...I was just about to go into the treasure house to find some senior brothers and sisters, and had just reached the entrance when a bright light flashed. The light seemed to rush out from the treasure house. I was about to flee but found I couldn't escape no matter what, and could only be sucked in by the light..."

"After being swallowed by the light in the blink of an eye, we arrived at this place..."

Next was the story of being tied to the car roof all night against their will, forced to admire the scenery.

<Song Jixing> simply exhorted them a few words. "Your food and lodging, <WenRen He> will take care of. If anything comes up, go to <WenRen He> first."

She couldn't accommodate them, so could only hand them over to <WenRen He>.

"Anything else? If not I'll take my leave first." <Song Jixing> said, standing up from the sofa, intending to go back home across the street.

After a busy day, it was time to go home and eat a midnight snack!

"...<Song Jixing>, I have another matter!" <Qi Yun> also stood up. His panicked eyes glanced at <WenRen He>, then looked at <Song Jixing>.

"<Song Jixing>, won't you take me with you? If I stay here with <WenRen He>, won't I be disturbing him?" <Qi Yun> said somewhat apprehensively.

<Song Jixing> could see that <Qi Yun> was rather afraid of <WenRen He>.

It was understandable. When they had just entered the treasure house, <WenRen He> had been stern-faced and silent, very intimidating.

Even if <WenRen He> was smiling and friendly now, the disciples below didn't dare get too close with him.

After all, students rarely got intimate with the Dean of Students, let alone take the initiative to visit the Dean's home.

Even if <Qi Yun> was unwilling, it wasn't up to him.

"<Qi Yun>, stay here peacefully for now. <Shen> senior brother will come explain things to you tomorrow!" <Song Jixing> was afraid she had been too blunt, and comforted him a couple sentences. "Don't worry, junior brother, this is just an ordinary mortal world."

Just as <Song Jixing>'s words fell, a boy ran out from the house.
