Early the next morning, Chi Shuyan received a call from Ruan Shenglin. His tone was no longer as cold as before, though it wasn’t enthusiastic either. Overall, his att.i.tude was pretty good, and he took the initiative to invite her over to help take a look.


Chi Shuyan naturally agreed.


After eating breakfast cooked by Chef Li, a content Chi Shuyan got ready to leave, and took a taxi to the Ruan villa.


Ruan Shenglin was a very famous film emperor, and his place was very upscale and secluded. When she took a taxi to the gate, Chi Shuyan saw that someone was waiting for her. Who else could it be but Manager Yang Kun from last night?


While Film Emperor Ruan Shenglin wasn’t very enthusiastic toward her, Manager Yang Kun’s cold att.i.tude from last night had completely changed to one of respect and enthusiasm. When he thought of what Master Chi had done last night, Yang Kun was convinced that although she was young, she had real capability. His expression completely changed at that moment as he regarded her as an ‘expert.’ He immediately paid the taxi fare for her and said respectfully and solemnly, “Master, this way! This way!”

!!

After the car left, Chi Shuyan followed Yang Kun into the villa. Yang Kun first helped Shenglin to cultivate a good relations.h.i.+p with this Master. “Master, Shenglin initially wanted me to pick you up, and if I wasn’t busy, I would definitely have gone to get you myself!”


Chi Shuyan didn’t expose the other party’s lie. She just felt that everyone in this circle was indeed so suave. They could say whatever they wanted and sound so sincere about it. No wonder the other party could do so well in the entertainment industry.


Of course, as long as there were benefits to be gained, she didn’t care about the other party’s att.i.tude. As long as he didn’t cross her bottom line, it made no difference to her. So, when she heard his words, she curled her lip and said, “Taking a taxi is just a small thing, it’s not a big deal! You don’t have to be polite!”


Seeing that the young lady in front of him was very composed at such a young age, Yang Kun increasingly felt that she was extraordinary. He hadn’t taken a close look last night, but after taking a closer look at her features in broad daylight, he was momentarily deeply moved by how good this young lady looked, especially her skin.


With such looks, she could easily crush any other female celebrity in their circle. If it wasn’t for Shenglin’s matter, he might really want to persuade this young lady to join the entertainment industry.


At one glance, she looked like she could become famous. Yang Kun also noticed that she was bare-faced. Yang Kun looked at the girl’s skin and features in front of him and couldn’t help but click his tongue. Sure enough, it was good to be young.


If Chi Shuyan knew what Manager Yang Kun was thinking, she probably wouldn’t be able to help but laugh. Her good skin had nothing to do with her age. Thanks to cultivating the Mystic Yin Arts, her skin was very good. Moreover, the higher her cultivation level, the better her skin condition.


She felt that once she was able to refine the real Marrow Cleansing Pill, her skin would probably be even better. Thinking of the pill furnace from the Jing Auction House which she had yet to use, Chi Shuyan’s hands itched a little. She made up her mind to start refining some pills after she resolved this matter, for fear that Manager Qian would come knocking and she would have nothing to show for it.


The two chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the entrance to Film Emperor Ruan’s villa. Ruan Shenglin had specially made time for this meeting today, and was waiting in the living room with his wife.


Xu Tong knew that a guest was coming, but didn’t know that it was a Master. She thought that it was the director of Shenglin’s new film, or a friend, so she had Aunt Cai specially prepare a lot of fruits.


Ruan Shenglin watched as Xu Tong busied herself on his behalf – her complexion was barely better, and the baby in her stomach wasn’t fussing. Ruan Shenglin heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. However, when he thought about how he had personally invited a ‘Master’ to his house, and that Master was a young lady, Ruan Shenglin felt that it had been quite absurd of him to actually agree with Brother Kun’s suggestion.


Ruan Shenglin was lost in thought. Not long after, he heard footsteps at the door and Brother Kun’s familiar voice. “Shenglin, I brought the Master. Hurry and come over!”


Whether he believed her or not, since he had invited her over, Ruan Shenglin still had a good att.i.tude and was going to invite her to sit down. Before he could move, however, Xu Tong had stepped forward to greet the guest. When she saw that it was a very beautiful young lady who had come with Brother Kun, Xu Tong was stunned. She might have misunderstood the relations.h.i.+p between the young lady and Brother Kun, but given their age, it was impossible for them to be in that kind of relations.h.i.+p. Could it be that she was a newcomer under Brother Kun?


Yang Kun didn’t know what Xu Tong was thinking, and immediately introduced Master Chi to her. “Tong Tong, this is Master Chi, a capable Master!”


Xu Tong was stupefied. Ruan Shenglin looked at the young lady next to Brother Kun and couldn’t help guessing her age; the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch violently. He suddenly felt regret. If he had known, he would have gotten Brother Kun to go to a temple and invite a real Daoist priest or monk over, which would have been more convincing.


Chi Shuyan took in the expressions of the two people in front of her. Her eyes went from Ruan Shenglin to the woman in front of her. Seeing that there was faint black qi on her forehead and stomach, her face was no longer as cold and solemn as before. A thought flashed through her mind, but it quickly disappeared when the other party took the initiative to speak. “Brother Kun, are you joking with me and Shenglin? This young lady is so good-looking and so young. Is she really not a newcomer under you? It’s a pity that she isn’t an actress!”


Despite the other party’s teasing, her tone was gentle and she didn’t put on airs at all. The sincere smile on her face gave Chi Shuyan a good impression of the woman in front of her. She narrowed her eyes and her gaze fell on the woman’s stomach again. She suddenly asked, “Mrs. Ruan, may I know how many months pregnant you are?”


Xu Tong also had a very good impression of the young lady in front of her. She beamed and replied, “A little more than five months.” After saying that, she immediately invited Chi Shuyan to sit down.


Chi Shuyan didn’t bat an eyelid. She took a few more glances at Xu Tong’s stomach and got straight to the point. She suddenly asked again, “Mrs. Ruan, has your stomach been hurting recently?”
