Chapter 120 He's really anxious now, he's not pretending anymore.
Wasn't that hairpin eroded and shattered by the Yin energy of the Yellow Springs Gate when she sacrificed herself to seal it three thousand years ago?!
Where did that thing sticking out of Shen Jiaojiao's head come from?!
Could it be that after she fell asleep in the Yellow Springs Yin Gate, that guy Heavenly Dao made another one?
As long as Wu Zhao thought about how he had been tricked by Gou Tiandao and forced to sleep in that dark gate, he could still leisurely carve another hairpin outside...
Veins bulged on his forehead as Wu Zhao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in hatred.
You bastard, you better not do this!
Suppressing the strange emotions surging in her heart, Wu Zhao attributed them to anger at the Heavenly Dao for plotting against her.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Wu Xingyun called out to Wu Zhao after taking the luggage off the car, seeing her standing still.
Lan Yao noticed her gaze and looked behind the crowd.
Shen Jiaojiao turned and left after exchanging glances with Wu Zhao, so Lan Yao didn't see her.
"Miss, is there a problem?" Lan Yao asked softly.
Wu Zhao shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go."
The group was quickly welcomed into the hotel by the people sent by Mo Dahai.
The hotel facilities within the film studio are quite comprehensive, and there are also many props left behind by film crews displayed in the corners as exhibits.
Wu Zhao had never seen those movies or TV shows before, so he found them quite novel.
Lan Yao followed beside her, quietly explaining the origins of these props. The person who picked them up was a young girl who had just introduced herself as Xiao Qi. Hearing their conversation, a hint of contempt appeared in her eyes.
These items were purchased at great expense by the hotel's investors; they are all props that have appeared in currently popular movies and TV dramas, intended to attract tourists and fans.
This person knows nothing. Could he be some ancient relic that was recently unearthed somewhere?
Wu Zhao was unconcerned about the malice emanating from her. She listened to Lan Yao's introduction and curiously examined the strange props.
"It's...quite interesting?" Wu Zhao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Lan Yao point to a strangely shaped, scepter-like object and say it was the staff of a great sorcerer.
"Some directors have really outrageous ideas... they're willing to do anything."
She spoke casually, but Xiao Qi could hear the teasing in her tone.
"What do you know? It's so cool to see Chenchen casting spells with this staff in the show! He's a powerful sorcerer in the show, supposedly based on a divine sorcerer from a thousand years ago!" Xiao Qi couldn't help but say, his tone quite displeased.
"Cough cough cough—" Wu Zhao choked on his breath. "You said, who? The divine shaman of the Wu family?"
She glanced at Wu Xingyun, whose face showed suspicion: "...Does the Wu family know about this?"
"Huh?" Wu Xingyun was also a little confused. "I don't know. I don't watch TV dramas, and I don't watch any of the ones at home either. That girl Nini didn't mention anything about it either."
He couldn't help but glance at the flashy but impractical staff, shaking his head: "It's hard to imagine my ancestor wielding this thing to beat up demons and monsters. Did the actor playing this just wave it around randomly on set?"
This clattering bunch of chains and long yarn, the ancestors probably tripped over it before they even used it.
Wu Xingyun couldn't help but show some disgust.
Hearing his idol being discussed like this, Xiao Qi couldn't help but get angry: "What do you know? This is an artistic technique! Exaggeration, you know! Those are all legendary things. You can't have a sorcerer appear now and say he doesn't have this staff. Besides, Chenchen looks good and looks very ethereal holding this!"
"He's handsome and tall; standing there with his staff, he looks like a god!"
Xiao Qi became more and more excited as he spoke, and he directly took out his phone and showed the screen to the three people.
...Hmm, perhaps the sorcerer himself is right in front of you?
Seeing the strangely dressed man on her phone screen, Wu Zhao stood in the elevator, turned to look at herself in the mirror, and raised an eyebrow.
Did art beautify her and turn her directly into a man?
"What a mess." Wu Xingyun frowned. "My ancestor wasn't like that at all. Besides, she was a—"
Ding. The elevator doors opened again.
The person on the phone screen is standing outside the elevator.
Xiao Qi's face immediately turned red: "Chen Chen!"
Looking at him with some surprise, Wu Zhao also felt it was quite a coincidence.
The man had strikingly feminine features, with a cold expression and a calm gaze that carried a hint of indifference.
Yu Chen nodded when he saw someone in the elevator: "Hello, are you a guest from the show?"
He stepped into the elevator, a faint aroma of tea emanating from him.
Wu Zhao gestured to him, "Hello."
Xiao Qi quickly squeezed over, even bumping into Wu Zhao.
"Chenchen, did you go to the third floor to eat?" She couldn't help but feel excited when she saw her idol.
Yu Chen frowned imperceptibly, then said casually, "Yeah, I didn't eat the airplane food on the way here."
Xiao Qi was still immersed in the excitement of receiving a reply from her idol, completely forgetting that there were three other guests beside her.
“I see dark circles under your eyes. You haven’t been getting enough rest lately,” Wu Zhao asked.
Yu Chen was startled, and he subconsciously touched his eyes.
I had the makeup artist cover it up when I left this morning, so did my makeup come off?
Wu Zhao chuckled: "What I see is different from what others see."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Where does Chenchen have dark circles under her eyes?" Xiao Qi glared at Wu Zhao impatiently.
Lan Yao was speechless at the staff member who kept offending her wife, so she raised her hand and pressed down on Xiao Qi's shoulder.
"Do you know you're at work?" Lan Yao's eyes were somewhat cold when he wasn't smiling, and having spent a long time by Gu Chen's side, he had picked up a similar air about him.
Xiao Qi trembled as she was stared at coldly.
Before Yu Chen could speak, the elevator stopped on the 37th floor, and Wu Zhao brushed past him.
“Sir, you can find me at room 3709 if you need anything. I can help you,” she said as she stepped out of the elevator.
After Lan Yao and Wu Xingyun came out together, Wu Zhao said another sentence.
"You probably started having trouble sleeping after filming that TV series, right? Maybe I can tell you the reason, do you believe me?"
"My name is... Wu Zhao."
"Hmm...you should have heard of my name."
Her pointed remark caused Yu Chen's expression to change.
He had naturally heard of the name Wu Zhao.
When he received the script for The Great Witch, the director showed him a photograph that contained a brief biography of the Witch family.
The blurry image shows only a few strokes representing the Wu family's top-secret lineage.
Wu Shi, a divine shaman, whose given name was Zhao.
...the sun and the moon are shining brightly.
The elevator doors slowly closed.
Xiao Qi was still captivated by Yu Chen's beauty and couldn't resist wanting to get a little closer.
"Chenchen, I..."
Unexpectedly, Yu Chen's icy gaze was fixed on her, causing her to freeze in place.
“You’re a crew member but you have no professionalism whatsoever. I’ll tell the director to let you leave as soon as possible.”
"This is a workplace, not a place for you to idolize celebrities."
The elevator stopped on the 39th floor. Yu Chen stepped out of the elevator and left without looking back.
Xiao Qi's face was deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with tears.
……
Fortunately, Lan Yao had already obtained the room key before getting on the elevator. She swiped the key to open the door and together with Wu Xingyun, they pushed their luggage inside.
Wu Xingyun clicked his tongue: "Where did Mo Dahai find these staff members? They're all so unreliable."
"And that TV show about the Great Witch!" he couldn't help but mutter again, "My ancestor was a great beauty, but she really was a woman, okay..."
Seeing his dissatisfaction, Wu Zhao suppressed a laugh and said, "Alright, alright, she already said it's an art form. Besides, she's not a member of the Wu family, so don't take it so seriously."
It was portrayed in a way by people in the modern world, which Wu Zhao simply found quite interesting.
Seeing the hairpins made by Shen Jiaojiao and Tiandao had initially made Wu Zhao feel quite bad, but the interruption earlier had eased her discomfort somewhat.
Walking to the French windows, Wu Zhao gazed at the clear blue sky outside.
Is Shen Jiaojiao someone favored by the heavens? As soon as Wu Zhao said he would make her pay the price, she immediately had something from the heavens protecting her.
Could it be that she's having an affair with that bastard Tiandao?!
On the other side of the Gu family, Gu Chen, who was sitting in a wheelchair listening to Qing Yao's report, suddenly sneezed.
"Master, are you alright?" Qingyao asked with concern.
Then, to his astonishment, he discovered that his usually expressionless patriarch had a look of surprise mixed with grievance on his face.
Before he could take a closer look, he heard Gu Chen suddenly say, "Prepare the car, I need to go to Yuecheng immediately."
Huh? Qingyao was taken aback.
I watched helplessly as Gu Chen suddenly stood up from his wheelchair!
The house, the patriarch's legs?!
Gu Chen felt his legs, and his eyes darkened.
If he doesn't go to her and explain soon, he'll lose all his innocence!
