Chapter 98: Chapter 99: Irrelevant to Her_1
After attending the afternoon classes without a hitch, Qiao Xiaren received an unexpected phone call. The training program for fledgling performers allowed her to bypass the interview; she was to report directly to the training camp the day after tomorrow.
Qiao Xiaren was slightly taken aback. On the other end of the line, she agreed. That’s good; it saved her the trouble.
She had dinner with Huo Xiaoning and took a car directly back to the apartment.
Upon entering, she took off her shoes. Qiao Xiaren slightly drew the curtains, twisted her ring once, and entered the space. As the shelves of the space materialized, Qiao Xiaren walked around and took out the treasured divination disk.
The disk unfurled, wavy light faintly glowing from it. As the disc opened up, the light flowed like a river.
With her eyes closed, Qiao Xiaren calmly suspended her hand over the disc, and the symbols on the divination chart emitted an unusual golden light.
After a while, Qiao Xiaren put her hand down. Her pupils suddenly constricted; she seemed incredulous! The waves in her brown eyes gradually subsided.
“Qiaoqiao…did you discover something? Or are you feeling unwell?”
Xiaotian’s innocent voice resounded in her head, seemingly concerned.
Shaken, Qiao Xiaren quickly composed herself but remained silent for a long time. Finally, she replied, “I’m fine.”
She quickly put away the divination chart, carefully preserving it.
She was startled to realize that man bore abnormal traits, exactly like hers. Moreover, his intentions seemed malicious.
Between lightning and flint, a daring and bizarre answer arose in her mind. That man was probably a rebirthed individual too.
This meant that she was not the only reborn person in this space- that man was one too!
Who is he now, and where is he? What kind of conspiracy and purpose does he have? She had no idea.
The hairs on Xiaren’s back pricked slightly. This unpredictable danger and intuition made her nerves tighten further.
She was suddenly grateful that she’d been taught metaphysics, even though she only knew the basics. At least now, she knew of another enemy’s existence.
What kind of entanglement and secrets existed between him and Qiao Anchu?
No matter whether it was his past or present life, he definitely wasn’t a pushover. At least to Qiao Xiaren, he was an enemy, an enemy who helped Qiao Anchu. An enemy, the extent of whose ambition was unknown.
Right now, though, this enemy was out in the open while she was hidden. She could still root him out, provided she found him in time.
This man had to be eliminated!
She wouldn’t let anyone put her back into the tragedy of her previous life! Thinking of this, Qiao Xiaren’s eyes flashed with a sharp, icy light.
After asking Abby for information about a few screen tests, Qiao Xiaren started planning her weekend itinerary. She shortlisted a few messages about audition roles, preparing to choose a few minor parts to try out for.
The first was a fresh, aesthetic music video where she played the role of a bride. The romantic painting-like scenes weave a series of heartwarming little stories, and the ending was naturally cheerful.
The second was a fairy drama “Slaying Immortal.” Qiao Xiaren wanted to try out for the role of a malicious demon immortal who constantly sabotages the relationship of the male and female leads but dies young.
The demon immortal position in “Slaying Immortal” caught Qiao Xiaren’s eye. Although wicked villains often loomed as distasteful, this role portrayed a complex and delicate balance of love and hatred, shaping a vivid and three-dimensional image, a dark, all-conquering queen.
She didn’t aim for the moon and tried not to challenge major productions starring roles directly. If an actor’s popularity grew too quickly, it was likely to arouse the disgust of fans and the public.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Early the next morning, Qiao Xiaren got up, freshened up, and looked for bus stops and routes.
By coincidence, the music video “Dream Bride” and the TV drama “Slaying Immortal” were holding auditions in the same place.
Qiao Xiaren arrived promptly at the audition hall. It wasn’t late, but a long line had already formed behind her. As people saw individuals enter, those waiting couldn’t help but glance over. When they saw Qiao Xiaren’s breathtakingly beautiful face, low gasps emitted from the crowd. Semi-concealed hostility started appearing in their eyes.
Such extreme beauty was indeed an overwhelming weapon; naturally, it would arouse people’s disgust and vigilance.
