[Cen Xiaosi still hasn’t had enough of embarrassing herself? Keeps putting her face out there to get slapped?]
[The elder actually said Qingqing is better at chess than him! So she does know how to play! My wife really can do anything!]
Satisfied with capturing the desired footage, the cameraman stopped filming.
Si Fuqing, who had ignored Cen Xiaosi throughout, returned to Jiang Changning’s side.
“Ningning,” she looked up at the sky, “I’m hurt again. Why did the old man get excited when I mentioned embroidery and offered to give me needles and thread? Had I known, I would’ve said I’m interested in nothing and that I’m just a plain Jane.”
Jiang Changning, with her usual cold demeanor, chose not to respond. Here was someone showing off subtly again.
Jiang Changning glanced at the old man who had walked away, slightly puzzled, she pressed down on the tip of her cap. She felt as if she had seen him somewhere before.
It couldn’t be at her home, could it?
Not many people visited her family.
“So, what are we filming today?” Si Fuqing scanned the surroundings, “It seems there are many craftsmen here. I wanted to buy a clay figurine.”
“We’re promoting traditional culture,” Jiang Changning nodded, “This place used to be the site of the Heaven Earth Alliance, hence the gathering of craftsmen here. I was wondering if the old man you played chess with could be from the Heaven Earth Alliance.”
Among the four major alliances, except for the unconfirmed Miracle Doctor Alliance, the other three have detailed historical records.
However, with the changes of time, while the alliances remained the same, they now bore new names.
Art Association.
Historical records state that Emperor Yin could quell chaos with a stroke of his pen and pacify the world with his martial prowess.
The Heaven Earth Alliance recruited scholars and literati from all over, a convergence of wisdom and intelligence.
The Heaven Earth Alliance never participated in any warfare, guarding the cultural heritage instead.
“I see,” Si Fuqing mused, “The old man’s chess skills were indeed remarkable, just too enthusiastic for my liking.”
She almost couldn’t handle it.
“Let’s get ready,” Jiang Changning suggested, “We might have to try our hands at making clay figurines.”
She sighed.
She could handle farming, but music, chess, calligraphy, and painting were beyond her.
She decided to stand behind Si Fuqing today, lying low.
Elsewhere, the host had the assistant contact D6’s manager, urging them to come quickly.
D6 was managed by Shengxing Entertainment, a leading company in the international entertainment industry and the only one that had collaborated with Qu Lingyun. Shengxing had produced numerous award -winning actors and actresses.
D6’s hotel was only a few hundred meters from the street.
After receiving the call from the organizers, one of the boys knocked on the neighboring room’s door, “Captain, aren’t you getting up? The organizers are urging us.”
The person in bed remained under the covers, “Meng Xue isn’t coming?”
“I asked. She’s not,” the boy scratched his head, “Her resources are beyond the other members in her group, right? Tianle Media is pushing her into the film industry; she’s filming in the movie city now.”
“Then I’m not going,” Chi Yu immediately lost interest, “I’d rather play ‘Oracle’ and complete a few dungeons.”
The boy knew Chi Yu was a senior player in “Oracle,” playing even before debuting.
Had he not been scouted, Chi Yu might have joined an academy team, potentially competing in international esports tournaments.
“Oracle” was hugely popular, played by many in the entertainment circle, including Meng Xue.
They had teamed up for gaming before, and Chi Yu admired Meng Xue’s gaming skills.
Hence, when he heard about filming a promotional video with Starry Star Girls, Chi Yu immediately agreed.
“But Si Fuqing will be there!” the boy was somewhat excited, “Captain, the ‘Great Xia Divine Beauty’, don’t you want to meet her in person?”
“Her gaming skills are terrible; she was a drag last time, ” Chi Yu annoyed, still under the covers, “She’s not comparable to Meng Xue..”
