Leng Rongrong and Elder Qi watched from the side for a while, then Leng Rongrong asked the assistant to find a sword.

The assistant hesitated for a moment, so Elder Qi said, “Hurry up and find one. There’s an expert who wants to guide your artist. If you delay, there will be no one to guide him!”

“Really?” The assistant hesitated for a moment. She didn’t know if it was Elder Qi or Leng Rongrong who wanted to teach Zhanzhan. Nevertheless, it was always a good thing to have someone to guide Brother Zhan.

Moreover, what Elder Qi said was definitely true.

Elder Qi was a man of virtue and prestige, and everyone wanted to curry favor with him.

Brother Zhan didn’t even do anything, but Elder Qi actually came over. It must be because his character was too good.

The assistant quickly brought over a sword prop and handed it to Leng Rongrong. Then, she asked carefully, “Sister Rongrong, are you the one who’s going to guide Brother Zhan?”

Leng Rongrong didn’t say anything. Jiang Zhan was holding his sword and practicing by himself when she suddenly rushed up and started fighting with him.

Jiang Zhan seemed to have been startled. Although he was still moving his hands, he looked at Leng Rongrong with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

“Don’t stop. Just treat me as the female lead. I’ll do a scene with you.” Leng Rongrong turned around. Her light muslin fluttered in the wind. She was devastatingly beautiful.

She held a sword in her hand, and every move she made was breathtaking and domineering.

She was just like a real cultivator.

Jiang Zhan observed and closed his eyes without hesitation. When he opened his eyes again, he was already the male lead of the show, and Leng Rongrong was already the female lead.

The two of them started to fight.

For some reason, Jiang Zhan had initially felt that he did not have a good grasp of his moves and that no matter how he practiced, he could not get them right. However, when he was fighting Leng Rongrong, his moves became smoother.

It was supposed to be very difficult, but at this moment, he didn’t have to worry about anything and played it perfectly.

After a few moves, the two of them stopped.

Jiang Zhan turned to look at Leng Rongrong. He knew that it wasn’t because he became an expert. Everything was due to Leng Rongrong who guided him to the right path during the clash.

He felt as if he had opened his aperture.

“Thank you,” Jiang Zhan said.

“You’re welcome,” Leng Rongrong smiled at Jiang Zhan. Her eyes curved into crescents as she said, “There are a few parts of your posture that aren’t quite right, but you’ll look good and domineering after adjusting your moves.”

As she spoke, Leng Rongrong even demonstrated some of the issues with Jiang Zhan’s moves.

After providing a few pointers, Leng Rongrong helped him adjust it. Thereafter, Jiang Zhan rehearsed it once. This time, it was quite smooth, and he could grasp the appropriate feeling.

“There’s no problem with the moves. As long as you control your strength when you hang from the wire, then there’s basically no issue.” Leng Rongrong asked, “Oh right, Jiang Zhan, are you interested in acknowledging a master?”

“Master? You?” Jiang Zhan glanced at Leng Rongrong.

Leng Rongrong was obviously younger than him by a few years.

Should he call her Master?

Jiang Zhan was obviously a little embarrassed. Although Leng Rongrong had helped him, it felt a little strange for him to acknowledge her as his master.

However, she had helped him, so it did not seem appropriate for him to reject her directly.

Just as he was thinking about how to reject the offer and minimize the damage, Leng Rongrong shook her head.

“It’s not me. Even if you want to be my apprentice, I don’t want to take you in! It’s so troublesome to take in a disciple…”

Speaking of disciples, Leng Rongrong was reminded of Jin Mingfeng and Xiao Yuan.

Jin Mingfeng had sent her a message recently. He informed her that he was busy filming a movie.

This fellow had been learning Chinese medicine from her ever since she had subdued that vicious dog. He thought that silver needles were cool. Although he was a Film Emperor, he was inexplicably a little childish and naive.

“Not you?” Jiang Zhan was stunned for a moment, then his gaze fell on Elder Qi, who was talking to his assistant.

“No need to look so surprised. It’s Elder Qi. If you’re willing, you can call him Master, and he’ll take you as his disciple,” Leng Rongrong said with a smile.

Jiang Zhan was stunned for a moment.

Seeing no reaction from Jiang Zhan, Leng Rongrong patted his arm lightly. “Don’t tell me you don’t want to acknowledge Elder Qi as your master?”

“No, I’m just a little excited.” Jiang Zhan was stunned for a few seconds before he strode toward Elder Qi.

“Have Rongrong told you?” Elder Qi asked with a smile.

“Yes, Elder Qi. I respect you.”

“Are you still going to call me Elder Qi?”

“Master!” Jiang Zhan looked at Elder Qi seriously, even his back was straightened. His face was pure, and he could be considered one of the more handsome male actors.

Elder Qi looked at Jiang Zhan and nodded. “Since you’re calling me Master, remember to treat me well during the holidays.”

Jiang Zhan was speechless.

Leng Rongrong chimed in, “Elder Qi, stop playing. Look at Jiang Zhan. He’s taking it seriously!”

Jiang Zhan looked like an honest and serious person. He didn’t learn any bad habits from the entertainment industry. He was a little naive.

That was why when Elder Qi said something about filial piety, Jiang Zhan was a little stunned. He didn’t realize Elder Qi was teasing him.

“You’re so rash.” Elder Qi chuckled and said, “I’m just joking. There’s no need for filial piety. It’s fine as long as you can stand out and not embarrass me. From now on, come to me once a week, and I’ll teach you something.”

“Alright, thank you, Master!” Jiang Zhan laughed and scratched his head.

“Director, I’m ready. Let’s start shooting again!” Gu Meiyue’s voice could be heard from not too far away.

Leng Rongrong and the others turned around to look at Gu Meiyue.

“Is there something wrong with this woman?” Jiang Zhan’s assistant complained.

“She’s the only one prepared. She didn’t even ask if Brother Zhan was ready!”

“Jiang Zhan, are you ready?” The director began to shout for him.

Jiang Zhan greeted Elder Qi and went over.

Leng Rongrong and Elder Qi did not play chess this time. Instead, they watched Jiang Zhan and Gu Meiyue’s fight scene together.

The effects on the fight scene would surely look outstanding.

However, the scenes during the shooting were not that pleasing to the eyes, and the movements were a struggle.

Jiang Zhan and Gu Meiyue were both hanging onto the wires. The two of them first fought with their swords, then flew up lightly and started trading blows in the air.

Gu Meiyue’s white dress fluttered in the air under the fan’s effect. It made her look like a fairy.

Jiang Zhan, on the other hand, was dressed in red, and he looked like a ball of fire when he flew into the air.

This time, the fight between the two was very interesting.

Gu Meiyue had the guidance of the martial arts instructor while Jiang Zhan had Leng Rongrong’s guidance. After a few moves, the scene was finished.

When they came down, Gu Meiyue cast a suspicious glance at Jiang Zhan. She was a little surprised. She had thought that she would definitely perform better than Jiang Zhan, but she did not expect that she would not be able to match up to him!

“Jiang Zhan is not bad. He performed very well. That scene just now was excellent. Meiyue, you have overused your strength. You should get used to Jiang Zhan’s strength in the next fight scene.”

The director remarked as he glanced in Jiang Zhan and Gu Meiyue’s direction.
