"What did you see?" Song Jixing asked.
Xu Kai's voice lowered even more, "It's those weird things!" He looked like he was both afraid and curious.
Song Jixing stayed quiet for a moment before speaking again, "Are you sure you want to hear? Aren't you scared?"
That hit Xu Kai's nerves, and he hesitated for a few seconds before shaking his head, "I'd rather not hear!"
But after saying that, he couldn't let it go and asked again, "There really is nothing strange?"
Song Jixing replied, "Everything in the crew is ordinary, nothing unusual."
"What about the cat?"
"Which cat doesn't meow?"
Seemingly satisfied with the logic, Xu Kai didn't dwell on it further, remembering the reason he came to find Song Jixing.
"Mr. Zhang called me and asked if you have time to shoot a documentary. I thought since you were still with Director Shi, you might not have time, but now that the filming has stopped, a documentary would only take a few days, right?"
Song Jixing was naturally interested in Mr. Zhang's documentary, but now wasn't the time to discuss documentaries.
There were quite a few people in Jiyu Ancient Town today.
Aside from the military vehicles that entered openly, there were also many lurking in the crowd.
A black car with Y City license plates parked on the side of the road had circled the area twice already.
Many ordinary citizens on electric scooters were coming and going, Song Jixing had seen them several times when he was still in town.
In the morning, they changed their disguises four times, including clothes, wigs, sunglasses, elevator shoes, etc., some even pretended to be disabled, blending in with the crowd as the most ordinary men, women, and children.
These people lurked among the crowd, constantly aware of the movements around them.
Even though she had gathered some spiritual power again, it wasn't a moment to transform into someone else.
Song Jixing said, "Let's talk later, I have something to do, I need to go home first!"
Xu Kai wanted to persuade Song Jixing not to miss this opportunity as soon as he opened his mouth.
But this kid always had his own ideas and didn't listen to him!
So Xu Kai got smarter!
Xu Kai said, "Let me go with you! Whatever is going on at home, I'll help you, and then we can go to the company together after it's sorted out."
Song Jixing didn't want to linger near the town, so he nodded in agreement.
Seeing Song Jixing agree so readily, Xu Kai felt relieved and hummed a tune as he returned to his car.
Song Jixing also started the car, and just as the engine roared to life, there was a sudden movement from the RV behind.
Song Jixing's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
This time it was a bit simpler than before.
Song Jixing turned the steering wheel and drove towards the steel mill.
Passing by a corner with a camera, the camera dutifully filmed all the pedestrians passing by, capturing Song Jixing driving as well.
There was a small commotion in the car, and Song Jixing took out his phone while waiting at the traffic lights and sent a message to Shen Feixian.
【They're here! Get ready!】
Shen Feixian received the message while sitting in his room typing on his keyboard.
Since Wang Lun put up this sign, he had received many requests from parents for enrollment.
The process began with screening students one by one, examining their conduct.
Upon receiving a text message from Song Jixing, Shen Feixian immediately stood up from his computer screen, opened the window, lightly jumped from the second floor to the first, picked up a tree branch from beside the wall, held it in his mouth, and turned towards the nearby path, ready to greet the outer disciples in the school.
It was afternoon break time, and Kong Daniu often played around the courtyard with Huo Ling'er.
At first, Kong Daniu was astonished by Shen Feixian's actions, worried that he might fall and hurt himself.
So Shen Feixian showed him many superhero movies and demonstrated the extraordinary skills of the outer disciples, accompanied by some peculiar conversations.
Kong Daniu's perception of the world underwent a significant change.
Previously, Kong Daniu's family didn't have a television, so he didn't know much about the outside world. Now he had a TV to watch every day and lived in the city!
What kind of problems could arise in the lives of city people that were portrayed on television?
Because he wasn't from the city, he might lack some things, but that didn't stop Kong Daniu from continuing to look on with envy.
When Song Jixing drove the RV back to the courtyard, he informed all his fellow disciples of the news in advance.
So when Xu Kai arrived, Qi Yun immediately dragged him to the neighboring house to look for something.
Seeing Xu Kai walking away, Shen Feixian and Wenren He slowly approached the car, watching Song Jixing's every move.
Song Jixing opened the door of the RV and walked in gently.
The RV wasn't large; upon entering, one could see a bed and two figures lying on it.
Both figures were graceful and beautiful, the larger one exposing a hint of fragrant shoulder outside. If they weren't lying in a disarrayed manner, they might have appeared even more enchanting.
From the waist tags on the two figures, Song Jixing recognized their identities.
This time, the visitors were Bai Ling, an elder from the Beast Taming Peak of the Qingyun Sect, and her disciple Xiang Zhi.
The mountain peak where Song Jixing resided was far from the Beast Taming Peak, so he hadn't interacted much with this elder from the Beast Taming Peak in ordinary times.
However, she still remembered what her master had said to her on the day of her apprenticeship.
"...... The other elders are usually in seclusion and you won't see them. But there's one you might encounter. That elder from the Beast Taming Peak, Bai Ling, her seniority is much higher than mine. According to the rules, you should call her senior uncle. However, she doesn't like being called old by others. Just refer to her as Elder Bai."
"Elder Bai's temperament is somewhat different from the other elders. If you meet her, just show her respect as your elder and don't be disrespectful."
Recalling her master's teachings, smelling the strong smell of alcohol on the two, Song Jixing probably understood what her master meant by 'different,' and where the difference lay.
She stepped forward and respectfully saluted, "I beg your pardon, Elder Bai, let me assist you to a more comfortable place to rest."
Song Jixing first moved Bai Ling from Xiang Zhi's lap.
Then she helped Bai Ling tidy her clothes and covered her exposed shoulder with a robe.
Xiang Zhi, on the other hand, was neatly dressed, but drooled a bit too much. Song Jixing wiped her drool away.
Song Jixing first helped Bai Ling up, supporting her shoulders, and then effortlessly lifted Xiang Zhi onto her shoulders.
Bai Ling on the left hand, Xiang Zhi on the right shoulder.
As the three stepped out of the car, Shen Feixian and Wenren He glanced briefly at Bai Ling, then quickly averted their gaze, looking elsewhere. Bai Ling, by seniority, was the elder among them all.
Just as Song Jixing was about to step up the stairs towards the main entrance, Bai Ling, perched on Song Jixing's left shoulder, suddenly fluttered open her eyes and let out a hiccup.
In a daze, she pushed Song Jixing aside, holding up her dress unsteadily, and slurred, "Where's my wine? Bring me wine!"
Bai Ling's strength was unexpectedly robust; Song Jixing was pushed back a few steps, almost losing balance, and had to release the still-drowsy Xiang Zhi from her arms, though she still held onto him.
After muttering about wine, Bai Ling seemed to sober up a bit. She turned her head, swaying, to look at Song Jixing and the drowsy Xiang Zhi in her arms, reaching out to tug at Xiang Zhi's robe sleeve.
Xu Kai, carrying a cardboard box, had just come out from the nearby room and noticed some movement out of the corner of his eye.
Xu Kai followed the movement with his gaze. What's going on here? Seems a bit odd?
Glancing at Qi Yun, who was still busy inside the house, Xu Kai inadvertently turned his gaze back to the courtyard next to him.
How strange. Let's take another look!
