Chapter 132

As soon as the bell rang, Feng Juechen walked out of the classroom as usual. From the classroom door to the bottom of the teaching building, it was just as lively as ever with crowds of people.

A group of young girls surrounded him, calling out and coming forward to ask for his autograph and photos.

Having left his group, Feng Juechen wasn't too keen on promoting himself, giving the crowd an apologetic smile as he headed downstairs.

"Husband!"

"Ah ah ah! He's so cold, but I still love him!"

Amidst the strange cries from the group of girls, Feng Juechen saw Shi Hua and Song Jixing waiting at the entrance of the teaching building.

After Song Jixing's explanation, Shi Hua's expression had improved somewhat, realizing that this was just an open-minded place, and his junior disciple had not taken on multiple partners all at once.

Song Jixing had said many good things about Feng Juechen, explaining that he had debuted solely for the sake of their sect.

After hearing Song Jixing's explanation, Shi Hua's expression softened a little, but seeing his junior disciple surrounded by young women, he still felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

Feng Juechen approached and greeted the two immediately, "Master, Senior Sister!"

Shi Hua nodded.

"This is not a good place to talk. I've booked a restaurant nearby, junior brother, why don't we go have a meal together?" Song Jixing suggested.

"Then I'll follow Senior Sister's arrangements," Feng Juechen readily agreed.

Feng Juechen had recently obtained a driver's license and bought a car, so he drove and took Shi Hua and Song Jixing to the restaurant. The restaurant Song Jixing chose was one she had inquired about with Xu Kai, a rather distinctive establishment in the Capital City with quite good food.

Although Shi Hua had not consumed mortal food for many years, making the specialties more or less irrelevant to him, a disciple should still make an effort.

After the three had finished eating, Shi Hua briefly inquired about Feng Juechen's current situation here and, upon learning that he was diligently studying the knowledge of this world, only gave him a few reminders.

Shi Hua: "Being too entangled with worldly matters will ultimately hinder one's spiritual cultivation."

Feng Juechen nodded earnestly, "Yes, Master, your disciple understands."

Feng Juechen knew that Shi Hua was referring to the group of girls downstairs in the teaching building. He could indeed completely avoid them.

After finishing the meal and tea, with nothing else to do, Feng Juechen took the initiative to speak up: "I remember Senior Sister recently had a movie released. Master, would you like to go and take a look? There's a movie theater nearby."

Song Jixing: ...

She couldn't help but suspect her junior brother was getting back at her.

Shi Hua nodded, "Then let's go."

Alright, since the Master had spoken, what else could she say?

-

As an obscure actress, Song Jixing didn't wear a mask when going out, even when going to the theater to watch her own film. The poster photos at the theater were made up with makeup, beauty filters, and photo editing, causing some distortion.

Since Song Jixing didn't promote herself much, she wouldn't normally appear in the public eye. Even if she had fans, their number was extremely small.

Feng Juechen was different. As a former top idol, even though he had left his group and gone to study, he could still be recognized by young girls on the street, who would ask for his autograph and photos.

New fans might not recognize Song Jixing, but old fans might recognize her a bit more, recognizing that Feng Juechen and Song Jixing were walking together.

From leaving the restaurant to the parking lot, Feng Juechen was stopped by several different groups of fans, and Song Jixing also got a bit of attention, being recognized.

Although Feng Juechen refused requests for photos, those girls still followed reluctantly for a while.

Until they got in the car, Feng Juechen finally put on a mask and hat to avoid being recognized by more fans.

Despite Feng Juechen covering his face, it didn't stop the extraordinary aura of the master and disciples.

The three had just entered the mall when they were stopped by a talent scout.

The talent scout blocked Shi Hua's path, enthusiastically promoting himself, "Hello, I'm a staff member from Mengqi Film and Television Company. Your appearance and temperament are exceptional. Have you considered becoming an entertainer?"

The talent scout eagerly took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Shi Hua, smiling, "This is my card, you can contact me anytime. If you're interested in becoming a celebrity, you're welcome to come to our company for an audition. Our company offers great benefits, and you'll have abundant resources after signing..."

Shi Hua's earpiece was explaining to him what a film and television company was.

The talent scout was not only evaluating Shi Hua but also Song Jixing and Feng Juechen beside him. Song Jixing's appearance was quite good, suitable for debuting as well. As for Feng Juechen beside her, even with his face covered tightly, one could tell he had an extraordinary temperament.

Song Jixing was about to step forward and help her Master when Feng Juechen took the initiative, accepting the card and saying, "We appreciate your kindness, but we've already debuted."

The talent scout's glib mouth paused, "...Is that so?" He looked carefully at Song Jixing, until he saw the promotional video for the newly released movie playing on the big screen nearby, and his pupils widened abruptly.

No wonder he thought she looked suited to be a celebrity - she already was one!

Talent scout: "My apologies, I really disturbed you. But could you give me an autograph if you have time?"

Sitting in the dark movie theater, the flickering screen in front was playing her high-definition face.

Beside her were her Master, whom she regarded as a father figure, and her junior brother.

They were watching her hold someone else's hand with a stern expression, then kick that person fiercely while saying things like "blood for blood."

The female lead played by Song Jixing had a touch of mental illness, a combination of coldness, madness, gentleness, and obsession.

Many people loved her, and many wanted to kill her.

This kind of plot was fine in a script, and there was nothing wrong with watching it herself, but it was a big problem to bring family members to see it.

For Song Jixing, this hour or so in the movie theater felt longer than any time she had spent in prison.

In the end, Song Jixing was a little relieved that she hadn't taken on any kissing scenes or melodramatic roles back then, or else watching it with her Master would have been even more embarrassing for her to endure.

In the cultivation world, the atmosphere was still quite traditional. Cultivators rarely engaged in intimacy in public, and disciples from prestigious orthodox sects would be especially mindful of their public image.

In the cultivation world, Song Jixing had always behaved in a detached and reserved manner. If she were to change her character in this world, she might truly arouse suspicion from her peers.

Fortunately, after watching the movie, Shi Hua didn't offer any comments, only asking, "Has Juechen also made movies?"

Meaning he wanted to see what Feng Juechen had done.

Song Jixing took the initiative, "Junior Brother hasn't made any movies, he participated in a talent show. Master, if you'd like to see, I'll find it for you when we get back."

Shi Hua nodded.

Indicating that he wanted to see it.

Song Jixing immediately urged Feng Juechen to hurry up and drive them back to their hotel.

After all, checking homework couldn't be something she enjoyed alone!

With the hotel's fast internet speed and large screen, they quickly brought up footage of Feng Juechen passionately singing and dancing on stage.

Shi Hua watched for about ten minutes before losing interest, as other people's footage was interspersed after that.
