Chapter 50

He looked at the few people in the living room and said in surprise, "Oh, we have guests at home. Sister Song came too!"

"Uncle, hello! Uncle, your clothes look so strange, are you shooting a TV series?"

Qi Yun and others sat on the sofa awkwardly and did not know how to address the child.

The child did not seem to mind either. He turned his head and shouted at the person next to him, "Grandpa, I want to watch cartoons!"

Wen Renhe nodded, "Watch!"

Little did they know, this word "Grandpa" shocked the few people sitting on the sofa and made them break out in a cold sweat! So he was Elder Wen's grandson?

According to the rules of the cultivation world, shouldn't they be paying their respects with a big ceremony?

Seeing them make a move, Song Jixing immediately stopped them with her toes and introduced, "You guys stay seated! Let me introduce, this is a child named Kong Niu sponsored by Elder Wen. Um... he's just a child Elder Wen has taken a liking to, not his disciple."

Song Jixing thought for a while before clarifying their relationship.

Song Jixing understood Elder Wen's intention. He mainly saw that the child looked very much like his own late son, so he wanted to help bring him up, hoping that he would live a good life.

As for taking him as a disciple and the like, Elder Wen did not want that at all.

Cultivators of Elder Wen's level had long since overcome the tribulation of severing mundane ties.

Kong Niu studying under him was due to their karma, but it was not enough to become a bond between them.

Hearing his name called, Kong Niu smiled foolishly at Song Jixing. He nimbly turned on the TV and tuned it to the children's channel to watch Superman fight monsters.

Children of this age mostly loved watching such programs.

With Song Jixing's explanation, Qi Yun and the others who had just let down their guard turned their attention back to the TV. Looking at the flickering small blackboard, it looked a little like the Video Recording Stone of the cultivation world.

Seeing the images inside, the faces of Qi Yun and the others kept changing.

Song Jixing could guess what was going on. After all, the same thing happened with Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters when they first arrived!

Senior Sister even pointed to the screen and asked, "Isn't this the mortal realm? How can there be images of demons fighting?"

The cultivation world was vast and diverse, with some strange things in existence, such as the weird and grotesque demon beasts living in the Demon Realm, and humans who were contaminated by demonic energy and turned into demon beasts.

Video Recording Stones were precious items. Ordinary people would not use them to record demon beasts. However, an elder in the wealthy and powerful Qingyun Sect possessed such a Video Recording Stone which contained images of demons fighting.

So Qingyun Sect disciples could quickly recognize demons when they saw them.

Even if they could not recognize the demons, they at least knew that those which exuded evil auras, looked ugly and ferocious and could harm people, as well as those that looked like humans but were completely inhuman, had been contaminated by demonic energy.

Song Jixing smiled without explaining further. If there was any need for an explanation, it would be better to wait until Senior Brother came back to say more. She would make herself scarce first!

Song Jixing ran off swiftly, leaving all the tasks to Shen Feixian.

It seemed that Shen Feixian had been busy recently with some artificial intelligence work. Song Jixing heard Huoling mention it briefly.

The first artificial intelligence that Huoling bossed around helped find many cartoons and children's stories for him.

Shen Feixian would probably soon be able to create an AI to automatically receive fellow sect members!

Then they would not have to painstakingly explain anything!

In future, she would only need to play the delivery role and be responsible for transporting fellow sect members back.

Soon the second interview arrived. But this time, the news Song Jixing received was quite different from the last time.

It was the crew member from Director Zhang's crew who contacted Xu Kai to say that Director Zhang wanted to personally interview Song Jixing.

However, there was no need to prepare scripts or act out scenes for this interview. Even the interview location was not in an office, but at a restaurant.

Although Director Zhang had a good reputation in the industry, they had not been in contact before and he was an old man after all. Xu Kai, as her agent, still inevitably worried whether his artiste would have to toast at the dinner.

"Why don't I accompany you!" said Xu Kai.

Agents often accompanied their artistes for auditions. Xu Kai had more than one artiste under him and was usually busy with other activities as well. He didn't go the previous time because he was busy.

Song Jixing did not know what Xu Kai was thinking. She simply agreed, "Okay."

At the appointed time, the two of them went straight to the restaurant chosen by Director Zhang.

The restaurant picked by Director Zhang this time was a famous old restaurant in City Y which was located by the sea. Seafood was common in coastal City Y, while this old restaurant was well-known for its inland dishes.

The waiter led them into the private room. As soon as she entered, Song Jixing saw the old man she had met before talking with a few men in their middle age, "...... your current ideas are good, but there are some problems with the execution!"

It was like a teacher lecturing his students!

Seeing the waiter bring the people in, the old man immediately turned his eyes to Song Jixing and laughed, "Little Song is here!"

"This is the Little Song I told you guys about yesterday!" said the old man, pride evident in his tone.

Song Jixing looked around and found the same middle-aged dark-skinned man in a baseball cap―the well-known Director Zhang Shuangcheng in the circle―next to the old man.

While different in appearance, the others had similar temperaments.

Once everyone was seated, the service crew began serving dishes.

The old gentleman was affable. He opened his mouth and said directly, "Let's eat first! We'll chat after the meal! The food here is pretty good. Have more, Little Song."

Song Jixing smiled politely and nodded, "Alright, Teacher Zhang, I'll definitely eat more."

The name card only had his surname without his first name. Coupled with Song Jixing's lack of a strong thirst for knowledge, she did not bother finding out more.

What was originally a simple pleasantry felt like a clap of thunder in Xu Kai's ears!

He knew Song Jixing's appetite.

Eating casually, she could easily eat a lot. If she really let loose and ate freely, wouldn't it shock these big shots? If this affected the movie, what should they do?

Xu Kai signaled Song Jixing with his eyes after hearing that.

Unfortunately, Song Jixing did not catch his hint.

When eating with strangers, Song Jixing generally would not eat too much. Moreover, since this meal was treated by the director, she would not shamelessly bankrupt the host when filming had yet to start.

After the dishes were served, Song Jixing ate only a little.

Even if it was only a little, it was still much more than the average man's portion.

Because there were many dishes served on a revolving table, no one noticed anything amiss. They merely felt that Song Jixing had constantly been using her chopsticks and ate a lot more than the female stars they had seen.

Recalling what the teacher had told them earlier about her being very good in action and fighting scenes, they were already very optimistic.

It was normal for those with high activity levels to eat more.

Only Xu Kai was on tenterhooks the whole time, too anxious to swallow the food in his mouth.
