As Pei Changying arrogantly curled his lips, he envisioned how he would torment Gu Sang later on!
Meanwhile, the ancient onlookers were filled with indescribably complex and regretful emotions—
Under the watchful eyes of all!
The live stream footage suddenly reappeared, then projected onto the wall.
In that moment, the entire palace fell silent, and the master's face turned paler than a corpse that had been dead for seven days!
"Your Majesty, look! This thing has appeared again!"
"Didn't the master say he had broken the witchcraft? How is Lady Gu still in that strange place?"
"Is this the modern prosperous world that the palace has been talking about?"
"This... this! The concubines have never seen such a scene before. Alas, the Lady has appeared, truly like the rumors, dressed in such a shameless manner!"
In the live stream footage, Gu Sang was wearing a floral spaghetti-strap maxi dress.
The dress reached her calves, revealing her exquisite collarbones and ivory-like arms.
Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail.
She had an elegant and refined air reminiscent of a scholarly lady.
The Taoist masters in their robes stood out too much, so Gu Sang immediately noticed the master and calmly laughed: "Such a grand occasion, are you here to capture me?"
"Judging by the master's shocked expression, you must have failed?"
Suddenly witnessing this scene,
The master was so frightened that his heart was trembling.
After regaining his composure, he sternly rebuked: "Treading on the emperor's grounds! What kind of brazen ghost are you? Let me subdue you."
The Taoist swiftly grabbed a handful of glutinous rice.
He threw it at the projection.
At the same time, the Taoist's Peach Wood Sword thrust towards Gu Sang.
Gu Qingrou tightly clutched her handkerchief, tense yet expectant.
The palace maids and concubines who had watched the live stream in the past couple of days pursed their lips, thinking: Perhaps this false illusion is about to be shattered...
Yes.
Everything was false.
The Lady would be captured by the master and face the emperor's wrath...
But!
"Whoosh—"
The Peach Wood Sword unexpectedly pierced through the projection in front of them and lodged into the hard wall, breaking into two pieces!
Yet the projection that should have disappeared remained playing!
"How... how is this possible......"
"What kind of sorcery is this? How can my Peach Wood Sword not break through you! This can't be real!"
"......."
Even more astonished than the master was Gu Qingrou's utterly disbelieving expression as she stared fixedly at the projection, her mind flickering with a thought she could barely suppress!
Could it be......
That what Gu Sang said was true.
No!
She didn't believe it!
This master must not be powerful enough to see through Gu Sang's illusion.
Under Gu Sang's calm, smiling gaze,
The master's expression kept changing. After hesitating for a moment, he took out an ancient talisman from his pocket.
"Break it!!"
"Whoosh!"
All fell silent.
Pei Changying watched as the talisman was pasted onto the wall, which then collapsed, yet the projection screen remained unmoving, standing firmly in its place!
Crash—
The master was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his face ashen with horror.
Pei Changying's expression was extremely unpleasant.
He glared menacingly at the helpless master and ordered: "Didn't you say it would be easy to break her witchcraft?"
"Didn't you say you could make this vile woman return to me?"
"Useless!"
"Take him away for execution by beating."
The master cried out in terror: "Your Majesty, spare my life, spare me....... That ancient talisman was a treasure left by my great-grandfather that could break any witchcraft in the world."
"If it can't break it, then it's not!"
"It's not that I'm incompetent, it's that the place where the Lady is located is not an illusion, Your Majesty......."
So!
Is there really a place in this world where women are allowed to show their faces and walk hand-in-hand with their beloved on the open road?!
He didn't believe it!
He couldn't believe it!
Women should be confined to their chambers, embroidering flowers and singing songs, only needing to please their men - that is the proper way!
"Cover his mouth, lest he spout more nonsense, execute him by beating immediately!" Pei Changying's expressionless face concealed a raging storm within.
This thing beyond his comprehension, this thing he could not control, gave him an intense sense of crisis.......
That Gu Sang on the other side, speaking of gender equality,
Truly seemed to be drifting away from him.......
"Pei Changying, you really are cruel and tyrannical."
"I've already told you, there are many things in this world that you cannot control."
"You think you're the emperor of this realm, the Son of Heaven, the one in power, deciding who lives and who dies, but now you can't lay a finger on me!"
"I've waited a long time for this day."
"Seeing you look so distressed is quite satisfying! Because soon, you'll look even worse."
Gu Sang, wearing a beautiful dress and high heels, confidently turned in front of the camera in an elegant and cathartic manner.
Then, she walked away proudly!
The camera followed Gu Sang as she crossed street after street, stopping at the gates of the Longfeng Manor, where the Short Drama audition was taking place on the top floor, requiring an elevator ride.
"Ding."
The 7th floor button lit up.
The elevator ascended slowly.
Those ancient onlookers stared with wide eyes!
They thought they had already been shocked enough by the previous footage, but that was just the tip of the iceberg!
If Pei Changying hadn't maintained a stern expression, looking murderous, they would have almost cried out in surprise!
"Sister.......Elder Sister Li, look at the scenery outside."
"It's transparent, yesterday Sister Gu said it's called glass, allowing sunlight to pass through and show the outside view, but... but how is that view moving upwards?"
"Does her world have treasures that can ascend to the sky? So shocking."
"Shh.......Little Sister, keep your voice down, can't you see the emperor's expression? The master said that perhaps what Sister Gu uses is not witchcraft, maybe there really is such a place?"
All the ancient onlookers watched Pei Changying's expression while holding their breath, staring at the elevator in awe.
They witnessed with their own eyes—
The elevator rose from the ground, bit by bit, up into the air!
Then!
The elevator doors opened, and Gu Sang exited, entering the designated audition venue.
By this time, several other girls were already seated, waiting for their auditions.
Among these waiting candidates, Gu Sang noticed a familiar figure, her expression slightly hesitant before sitting down at a distance, pretending not to recognize the person.
Seeing Gu Sang as another competitor auditioning, the other candidates couldn't help but look her over.
One girl who was fixing her makeup didn't even look at Gu Sang as she said, "Although this director is only making a Short Drama, his standards are very high. If you don't meet the requirements, you might as well go home now."
"The female lead in the drama is a legitimate empress, requiring a girl with excellent poise and grace."
"You......." She looked up and glanced at Gu Sang.
That single glance made her freeze, with a flicker of admiration flashing across the eyes of all the auditioning girls.......
