Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The middle-aged man ran in a panic. However, while the black aura was floating out, a barrier had formed around the courtyard. No matter how he ran, he could not escape.
In the end, he finally arrived at the pomegranate tree and discovered Chu Luo standing there. His pupils shrank as he asked with a trembling voice, “Who are you?”
He obviously thought Chu Luo was in cahoots with the woman in the room.
Chu Luo looked at the fear on his face and asked, “Who are you?”
“You…” Just as the middle-aged man said this word, the ball of black aura floated towards the two of them. The giggling sounds became even more terrifying, making one’s hair stand on end.
“Ah~~”
Chu Luo looked at the middle-aged man who was scared out of his wits and was now hiding behind the pomegranate tree. She looked up and saw that ball of black aura.
“Hehehe…”
“Noisy!”
As soon as Chu Luo finished speaking, she raised her hand and tapped the black aura in the air as she quickly chanted an incantation.
Before long, the black aura that was still giggling was dispersed and it disappeared.
As soon as the black aura disappeared, the barrier in the courtyard emitted a cracking sound. Then, Yu Ling’er clutched her chest and spat out blood as she staggered and knocked into the door frame with a pained expression.
Chu Luo looked at the woman, who had lost her charm and become ordinary, and asked sternly, “Who gave you these things?”
Yu Ling’er looked up at Chu Luo. Panic and fear flashed across her eyes, but she bit her lips and didn’t speak.
“Hmph! You won’t speak?” Chu Luo plucked a leaf and quickly flicked it at Yu Ling’er, who fainted.
Chu Luo quickly walked into the room and realized that a formation had been drawn with blood in the middle.
There was a bloody glow in the middle of the array.
A hoarse male voice came from the blood array. “Bring that woman in.”
Chu Luo walked into the blood array and asked, “Are you talking about me?”
After saying that, she called out, “Phoenix,” and a red light rushed towards the blood array.
A cry of pain immediately came from the other side.
At the same time, the blood array disappeared.
Chu Luo looked at the disappearing blood array and smiled coldly. “You can try to escape, but whether you can depends on your ability to dodge the Phoenix Golden Flame.”
After saying that, she looked at Yu Ling’er, who had fainted long ago. She sneered. This person no longer had the luck of others and had lost her outstanding appearance. Chu Luo believed that even if she didn’t deal with her, many people would be willing to deal with her.
She walked straight out of the door. Just as she passed the pomegranate tree, the middle-aged man hiding behind it jogged out and stopped her. “Master, wait.”
Chu Luo stopped and looked at him.
This person looked especially disheveled because of what had happened just now, and there was still a lingering fear on his face.
He suddenly bowed to Chu Luo. “Thank you, Master, for saving me just now.”
Then, he pointed at that room and said calmly, “That room is where I rest. I didn’t expect that woman to suddenly barge in. She cut her finger and quickly drew something in the middle of the living room.”
Actually, Yu Ling’er didn’t expect the director to be alone in the room. She’d originally wanted to plot against Chu Luo, but when she saw the director, who was an even bigger and fatter sheep, she became even more ambitious.
She had wanted to use the blood array to contact the person working with her to control the director and then take Chu Luo’s beauty from her. Unexpectedly, the black aura that was closely tied to her life ended up scattered.
Chu Luo didn’t say anything after hearing this and prepared to leave.
The middle-aged man quickly followed up and said enthusiastically, “I’m Chu Jinquan. What’s your name, Master?”
Only then did Chu Jinquan manage to get a good look at Luo Luo’s appearance. He was stunned for a moment. There were plenty of handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry. This was the first time he had seen someone with such good disposition and looks.
“Chu Luo.”
Chu Jinquan quickly snapped back to his senses. “Oh, oh, Master Chu. In order to express my gratitude, I’ll treat you to lunch.”
People in the entertainment industry find that it was best to befriend such a powerful master. After all, anything could happen in the entertainment industry, and there were many things that required a Master’s help.
Chu Luo suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Jinquan. “Someone is waiting for me outside. I’m not free.”
When Chu Jinquan heard this, he wasn’t disappointed. Thinking that it was normal for a Master to be very busy, he quickly took out a name card and handed it to her. “Master, this is my name card. If you are free, you can call me anytime.”
Chu Luo casually took the name card from his hand and was a little surprised to see it. “You’re the director?”
“Right.”
Chu Luo thought about what Yu Ling’er had said just now and put away the name card before continuing to walk out of the door.
Chu Jinquan was still worried about Yu Ling’er. He hurriedly asked, “Master, what about Yu Ling’er and that thing she drew?”
That thing was too terrifying. If he didn’t get rid of it soon, he wouldn’t feel at ease.
“They won’t come out and do evil again.”
Chu Jinquan had seen how powerful Chu Luo was from the start and immediately believed her.
The two of them didn’t walk far before they saw Yu Ling’er and her assistants waiting there.
When they saw the two of them, their eyes widened.
Chu Luo realized that the aura of Chu Jinquan, who was walking beside her, had instantly changed. He had become especially stern.
“Director Chu.”
Chu Luo and Chu Jinquan walked past the respectful-looking people standing at the side. Chu Jinquan didn’t even look at them.
Chu Luo glanced at Chu Jinquan in surprise.
Chu Jinquan noticed her gaze and explained to her, “In the entertainment industry, we, as directors, must be imposing in order to command the crew.”
Chu Luo nodded.
The two of them walked for a while before finally arriving at the crowded courtyard.
Xue Ying and Zhu Jiajia, who had changed their clothes, stood in the shade of the courtyard and looked over. Zhu Jiajia was fanning Xue Ying with a newspaper.
“Sister Yingying, let’s go. Chu Luo left with Yu Ling’er. It’s obvious that she’s greedy for glory. Even if we keep waiting here, it’s impossible for her to accept your kindness.”
Xue Ying raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her nose. “I can feel that Chu Luo isn’t that kind of person. She looks so young. I’m worried that Yu Ling’er will harm her. Chu Luo’s clothes are extraordinary. It’s obvious that she’s a child from a wealthy family. Let’s wait for a while more. If she still doesn’t come out, I’ll go in and take a look.”
At that moment, she saw Chu Luo and Director Chu walking over. Surprise flashed in her eyes, but she still walked over.
Chu Luo saw Xue Ying and walked over.
Chu Jinquan followed.
Along the way, many people greeted Chu Jinquan.
Chu Jinquan maintained his serious expression as a great director.
The moment Xue Ying saw Chu Jinquan, she greeted him in a neither humble nor pushy manner, “Director Chu.”
Then, she looked at Chu Luo. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Chu Luo had just finished answering when her phone rang.
It was from Wei Xueying.
Wei Xueying’s tone was filled with disappointment. “Luoluo, where are you? We didn’t get to see Ci Jing and are preparing to go back.”
Chu Luo told her, “I’m with the [Xuanyuan Dynasty] production team.”
Wei Xueying: “Then come out quickly. Angel and I are waiting for you outside the set.”
Chu Luo replied, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo looked at Chu Jinquan and Xue Ying. After thinking for a while, she said to Chu Jinquan, “You can give her a chance.”
Chu Jinquan was definitely willing to give Chu Luo face. He glanced at Xue Ying and said to her, “Yu Ling’er’s second female lead role will now be played by you.”
When Xue Ying heard this, she widened her eyes in disbelief and covered her mouth.
Chu Luo turned around and left.
As for the boundless future that her words had brought to Xue Ying today, that would have to wait.
When Chu Luo walked out, Wei Xueying and Angel were waiting for her.
When Angel saw Chu Luo walking over, she asked in surprise, “Xueying, is she that little cousin of yours who’d scored full marks in the college entrance examination?”
“That’s right!”
“Wow! Xueying, your cousin is a legendary beauty as well as a star student, a goddess of beauty and studies. If only I had a sister like that.”
The three of them walked towards the rickshaw.
She had just walked to the area where the rickshaws were parked when she saw a large group of people gathered there.
“Which celebrity went to take the rickshaw again? Why are there so many people around?” After Angel finished speaking, she looked at Wei Xueying, who had stopped in her tracks, and asked with a puzzled expression, “Xueying, why haven’t you exposed yourself all this time? With your status, wouldn’t it be easy for you to shoot a hit drama?”
“No, those aren’t my goals. If I, Wei Xueying, want to be famous, I have to go international.”
“I heard that Blazing Glory International Film and Television is preparing for a major production. You don’t have your sights on their female lead, do you?”
“Yeah.”
Chu Luo looked at the crowd casually and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, an explosion came from that side.
Boom!
“Ah…”
“Ahhh…”
“Someone’s dead…”
Instantly, the scene became chaotic.
“Luoluo, run!”
After saying that, Wei Xueying turned around and ran off with Angel.
The crowd quickly dispersed.
Chu Luo didn’t intend to run with everyone. She took a turn and walked to a hidden corner. She jumped over.
Unexpectedly, there was a bamboo forest on the other side of the wall. The bamboo forest was very large, and there were bluestone paths inside. The paths were curved and winding. One could vaguely see a thatched house not far away.
However, at this moment, figures were moving around the thatched house. It was obvious that a fight was going on.
Chu Luo thought that they were filming, so she walked over.
When she got closer, she realized that they were actually fighting.
A group of murderous people surrounded a tall man in white casual clothes.
The man in the white casual clothes had a face that seemed to have been carved out carefully. He had a handsome, elegant nose and cherry blossom-like lips. The corners of his lips were rather perfect, and he seemed to be always smiling at any given time. The ends of his eyes were also raised up, looking very charming.
Such a man should have given people an elegant and noble first impression. However, at this moment, his white clothes were dirty and the corners of his lips were split, making him look a little disheveled.
The man looked at the group of people who had surrounded him. He raised his thumb to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips and sneered. “You think you can take me away from here?”
Someone replied coldly, “Since Young Master Ci is unwilling to leave with us, we can only use special methods.”
After saying that, the man took out an anesthetic gun and pointed it at him.
The man’s eyes narrowed. At this moment, his gaze landed on Chu Luo. His eyes flashed and he shouted at her without thinking, “Call the police!”
Those people instantly turned to look at Chu Luo with thick killing intent in their eyes.
Chu Luo glanced with displeasure at the man who wanted to take advantage of the situation to escape. She said coldly, “I’m just passing by. You people can continue.”
With that, she turned to leave.
An unfriendly voice came from behind. “Since you’ve seen this, don’t even think about leaving!”
