Lao Mo and Xiao Yao said nothing.
My uncle-master only took a sip of wine and nodded after I finished speaking.
There are many paths, and the most important thing is to forge one's own.
We followed the stream and soon arrived at the abandoned town.
We docked there and then went to where Lao Mo had parked the car.
Next, we had to leave here and return to Qingshan City.
Then, we would rest, head north to Bashan, and contact the fox tribe.
However, if Xiao Mei returned, then North Mountain would not be needed, and through Xiao Mei, Hu San Tai Nai could be contacted.
Soon, we found Lao Mo's car.
Without any rest, we got in and drove back.
The road was still bumpy, making us almost sick.
But after traveling all night, we finally returned to the shop by noon the next day.
Xiao Mei still hadn't returned, and the shop was exactly as it had been when we left.
My uncle-master also replied to the Dao Alliance about the results of this trip.
Now I stood before my master's memorial tablet again.
I lit incense and candles for my master, informing him of the details of this trip and of Wu Di Lao Mu's invitation for me to become a spirit medium.
After speaking, I tiredly took a bath and went back to my room to rest.
I slept soundly.
I woke up late at night. After cultivating for a while, I wasn't sleepy, so I picked up my phone to check the Daoist community.
However, the community showed it was under maintenance, and I couldn't get in at all.
It seemed that with the impending major battle, the Dao Alliance had closed the community forum.
Since I couldn't sleep, I scrolled through short videos.
To my surprise, several videos pushed to me were about Li Shiyao.
The current Li Shiyao was no longer the obscure celebrity she used to be.
Having rapidly gained fame with several films, she was now quite popular, at least considered a B-list celebrity.
However, the content pushed to me this time was about her and another B-list celebrity's CP gossip.
If this momentum continued and she won another award, reaching A-list status wouldn't be impossible.
In the entertainment industry, such things were best just observed, and I didn't take it to heart.
After all, it was Li Shiyao's career; I could do nothing more than contribute a movie ticket at the cinema.
As I was scrolling, I received a message.
Upon opening it and glancing at it, I was surprised to find it was from Li Shiyao.
A smiley face emoji.
Seeing that Li Shiyao, like me, was still awake so late, I replied, "Are you filming again?"
"Yes, filming. Did you also finish work and return?"
Li Shiyao knew my identity and my abilities.
Seeing her ask, I replied, "No, I went out a few days ago and just woke up. I saw several videos of you and another male celebrity being ambiguous today, is it true?"
To my surprise, Li Shiyao immediately initiated a video call.
I was taken aback for a moment but still answered.
I leaned against the headboard, smiling as I looked at her.
It was very dark on her end, and she was still in costume, with many hairpins adorning her head.
"This look is quite beautiful!" I said with a smile.
To my surprise, Li Shiyao chuckled, "This is better. I'm not playing a ghost anymore, but a demoness."
Me; ...
I didn't know how to respond.
This was labeling Li Shiyao as non-human! It felt quite interesting.
"By the way, what you saw is all fake. The company is creating hype."
It was as I had guessed; the entertainment industry loved to use such things to create hype.
Afterward, I chatted with this old acquaintance for a while.
Li Shiyao suddenly said, "Qin Ze, there have been frequent accidents on our set recently.
It's not just equipment breakdowns, but also personnel accidents.
Today, an actor fell from eight meters high while using a wire rig and is now in the hospital.
The entire set is in a state of panic, with some saying the filming location has bad feng shui.
Do you have time? If you do, could you come and take a look for us?"
Hearing this, I became interested.
After all, this was my profession, so I asked in detail, "Have you investigated whether it's a problem with the equipment, or human error or violations?"
"We are the main film production company.
The equipment is all new, and the personnel are professionals.
No one else has had problems filming here, but our crew keeps having accidents.
And since the commencement of filming, there have been several incidents.
The authorities have issued us a notice, and if our crew has another safety accident, we might have to halt production." Li Shiyao said with great helplessness.
After hearing this, I continued to ask, "Where is your set located?"
"It's a bit far, at Bashan Film Base." Li Shiyao replied.
Upon hearing this, I immediately became happy.
It was far, but it was on the way!
We were already planning to head to Bashan to find Fox Mountain and contact Hu San Tai Nai.
Since it was on the way, and I had a connection with Li Shiyao, I would definitely help her with this.
Therefore, without any hesitation, I said, "It's not far. We happen to have business to attend to in Bashan, so it's on our way. We will set off tomorrow and expect to arrive by evening."
When Li Shiyao heard this, she was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really?"
"Of course, it's true. Why would I lie to you!"
Li Shiyao seemed a little inexplicably excited at this moment.
She even said that she would treat us to a meal when we arrived.
I smiled and responded a few times.
Then, because Li Shiyao had to rush to her filming, we hung up the video call.
After scrolling through more videos, I also saw news about Chu Yue.
It was about Chu Yue representing Qinggang Group in a collaboration with another group to jointly open a factory in our local area, along with her personal statement.
Watching Chu Yue's impassioned speech, I gave her a like.
Everyone has their own path.
Li Shiyao's acting career, Zhang Chuyue's business route.
And what we have to do.
Is to slay demons and monsters, and protect peace in the darkness...
