Chapter 651: Chapter 651

If she really wanted to climb up the ladder, she wouldn’t be so careless, it’s precisely because she doesn’t have that aspiration that she dares to express her true nature, and it’s not something that a child brought up in an ordinary family could develop.

He Xirui doesn’t take leading roles, only supporting roles. There are plenty of those, and no matter how much she acts up, she won’t lose the supporting role that’s meant for her.

It seems that He Xirui’s background is really not simple.

He Jinxia glanced at He Xirui who was standing to one side, not yet on stage, and suppressed the curiosity in her heart.

No matter what identity He Xirui holds, she is now just a supporting actress in this drama, and only a supporting actress, He Xirui can’t affect her.

He Jinxia lowered her gaze, there are many secrets within the circle, and knowing too many of them is not a good thing. One must be restrained at the right time to survive longer.

On the film set, after several retakes, the singer playing the Peony Fairy found her groove and finally nailed the scene where she talks with Peony and Fairy Yuan Miao.

Peony Fairy: "Miao Miao, what should we do now? The Great Emperor has also been cast into the Reincarnation Mirror, and because the Power of Laws are interfering with each other, I can’t see the direction of the world inside the mirror, nor do I know if Emperor Qingmu will be affected!"

As the Peony Fairy spoke, she paced back and forth on the spot, "I’m doomed, I’m doomed, Miao Miao, I’ve caused a huge disaster this time. When the Great Emperor comes out, will he strip me of my Immortal Position and turn me into a maidservant? Or even worse, the kind that exclusively feeds the Immortal Pets!"

"I’m doomed, I’m doomed, I don’t want to be demoted to a pet keeper, that’s too terrible!"

The Peony Fairy touched her face with her hand, her expression full of panic.

Just then, Princess Yu Yun entered from Peony Hall and heard what the Peony Fairy had said, her face changed color.

In the hall, Fairy Yuan Miao looked down at the imitation Transformation Mirror. In reality, all she saw was an area that had already been covered with a green screen.

Fairy Yuan Miao frowned, began to calculate with her fingers, but after only starting, she gave up and turned around saying,

"No use, the Great Emperor’s mana is too sublime, having cultivated to such a level he automatically conceals the heaven’s secrets, making his traces invisible within the heavenly laws, I can’t see anything about him unless I use a divine object."

Upon hearing this, the Peony Fairy’s expression became even more downcast, "If even you can’t figure it out, what am I supposed to do?"

Fairy Yuan Miao quickly reassured her, "It’s okay, it’s okay, if I can’t figure it out, I can still figure out yours, let me calculate for you!"

As Fairy Yuan Miao began to make a hand gesture, on the other side, Yu Yun, who was hidden in the shadows, couldn’t hold back any longer and stood up, shouting sharply, "Emperor Qingmu has been put into the fake Reincarnation Mirror by you?" The most update n0vels are published on NoveIꜰire.net

Fairy Yuan Miao and the Peony Fairy were startled by this sudden voice, and everyone involuntarily shivered and looked behind them.

Director Liu, wearing 3D glasses, scrutinized the image on the monitor closely, his furrowed brow relaxed slightly, and he nodded his head.

The scene just now wasn’t perfect, the interaction between Fairy Yuan Miao and the Peony Fairy was still a bit awkward, with the biggest problem lying with the Peony Fairy.

However, this scene had already been shot three times, and they had practiced several times before shooting. If they did another take, it would likely be on par with the current standard.

After all, the actress playing the Peony Fairy had never acted before, and being able to perform to this extent from the start was not bad. Since she was not a professional actress, Director Liu lowered his standards a bit and let the scene pass.

Upon hearing Director Liu say "let’s move on," everyone on set breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, they were finally free from Director Liu’s sharp gaze, and the nightmare that seemed could reemerge any day did not descend.

After a few minutes of rest, Director Liu very punctually started to shoot the next scene.

The most important scene next was centered around Princess Yu Yun, and everyone had witnessed He Xirui’s acting skills—they were not worried it would take long.

"Scene 89, Take 1, Action!"

With the clapboard’s sound, the Peony Fairy immediately panicked, so anxious she almost stuttered, "No, no, that’s not it, I, I didn’t..."

Fairy Yuan Miao hastily stepped in to finish her sentence, "Peony is saying she didn’t push Emperor Qingmu in, he jumped in by himself!"

Princess Yu Yun’s expression turned stern and she spoke sharply, "Do you all take me for a three-year-old to be deceived! The Great Emperor doesn’t have errands to run, why would he jump into a fake Reincarnation Mirror for no reason?"

"The mirror encases immortal pets tainted by demonic energy; they’ve turned into monsters, lost their spiritual wisdom, and some are only vicious and violent. The seal must be reinforced every ten thousand years, and it’s only been three thousand years since the last sealing. The Great Emperor wouldn’t go in at all!"

Peony Fairy: "I, I..."

Princess Yu Yun scolded, "Speak up and tell the truth right now. Why would the Great Emperor jump into the Reincarnation Realm! Otherwise, I will report to my father right away and have him strip you of your position at Peony Hall!"

Fairy Yuan Miao quickly said, "Princess, you mustn’t! This matter is but a trifle, no need to trouble the Heavenly Emperor!"

Peony Fairy belatedly followed up, her will to live extremely strong, "Yes, yes, the Heavenly Emperor is so busy every day, managing the Heavenly Palace. I, I won’t bother him with these trivial matters!"

Princess Yu Yun, who was walking away, was blocked by Peony and Yuan Miao. She snorted coldly, and her sharp gaze fixed on Peony, "Then speak up quickly, what exactly happened here!"

"Cut, moving to the next scene!" Director Liu called out.

The crew set up the lighting behind Yuan Miao and Peony, preparing to shoot their scene next.

Peony and Yuan Miao looked at each other, both gesturing with their eyes.

Peony: You hurry up and speak!

Yuan Miao: You saw the Great Emperor jump into the mirror, you tell it!

Peony: Wuu... Yuan Miao, you have to save me. Princess Yu Yun will grind my corpse into dust to fertilize the flowers!

Yuan Miao: Don’t worry, I’ll collect your soul so you don’t lose your spiritual wisdom, and find you a new body.

Damn, that’s terrifying. She was just talking casually, but Yuan Miao had already thought out her "end-of-life" affairs.

Director Liu switched the lens to He Xirui, setting up the camera before calling out again, "Action!"

Princess Yu Yun waited on the spot for a while and heard nothing conclusive, prompting her to snort coldly and continue walking out.

The Peony Fairy came to her senses and quickly grabbed Princess Yu Yun, saying, "I’ll talk! I’ll say everything!"

"Cut, Peony is supposed to grab the arm, not the shoulder. Pay attention. Let’s shoot again!" Director Liu’s voice timely intervened.

After shooting the same scene twice, it was done.
