After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 929 Extra: Becoming an Ancient Legend of the Canglan Realm

When Jiang Hanying won another major film Best Actress award for "The Legend of Plum Blossom Order," she returned to the audience with the trophy and immediately boasted to Yuan Chaoyu, who was still sitting next to her: "Ta-da!"

Yuan Chaoyu twitched his lips: "Actress Jiang, can we be a little more composed?"

"No, I'm happy!"

"Now the whole world can see how excited you are!"

Jiang Hanying turned her head to face the camera that was coming closer, and then she put on the noble and aloof look of the female host in the award-winning film clip, but she only maintained it for less than two seconds before she smiled again.

She's just happy!

Viewers watching the live stream were not surprised at all.

Although this person can portray all sorts of lives in a play, he is still a fun-loving person at heart!

Being carefree is their true nature!

After the awards ceremony ended, none of the major domestic media outlets, who had been eagerly awaiting the event, were able to catch a glimpse of the newly crowned Best Actress.

Before they could even ask where Guan Shan had gone, a netizen with an IP address overseas posted a street photo that they had taken by chance.

Caption: [I searched for her a thousand times in the crowd, then suddenly turning around, I found her where the lights were dim!]

The photo shows the bridge at night, where the lights on and under the bridge blend with the night, making the river water appear both cool and gentle—a dreamlike reality.

The person who was shining brightly under the spotlight, holding a trophy, is now wearing only a simple sweatshirt and casual pants in this casual photo, with a bare face and a carefree smile!

People who see this photo are inexplicably reminded of what someone said into the microphone three years ago when she won her first Best Actress award: Freedom!

She is a light that shines in all directions, and also a free shadow!

But at that moment, no one could have imagined that when they saw Jiang Hanying's next feature interview, the topic would be retiring from the entertainment industry.

When asked why he decided to retire from the entertainment industry.

A person sitting idly on the sofa, seemingly blessed by the passage of time, smiled at the camera and said as frankly as ever, "Because there's no challenge anymore, I want to do something else."

If someone else responded like that, they'd be at best scolded for spouting nonsense.

But now that it's Jiang Hanying who's giving this reason, there's really no way to refute it.

After this interview was released, some netizens couldn't help but list the achievements this person made during his time in the entertainment industry.

He has won all the major awards for Best Actress in Film and Television, some of which he has won repeatedly. He even won the Best Supporting Actor award at one of the Qingxiao Awards.

Holder of the highest scores in thirteen extreme sports, witnessed by the program "Extreme Exploration." The only Chinese representative on the Extreme Sports Association's board of directors; the reason for not moving up one rank is reportedly because he's too lazy to manage affairs. He is also a lifetime ambassador for the entire product lines of several major international outdoor brands!
Although she participated in fewer variety shows later on, precisely because of this, the first few variety shows she filmed were watched repeatedly, almost like archaeological digging frame by frame. This is where the popular term "pan variety shows" came from.

……

After listing them all out, it seems, indeed, that there's not much of a challenge left.

Then all we can do is accept it and offer our best wishes!

Actually, there's another reason Jiang Hanying left the entertainment industry that she didn't mention.

Although celebrities in the entertainment industry are all skilled at preserving their youthful appearance, they can't escape the aging process caused by the passage of time.

Even if you try every possible method, you will still be able to find some traces.

But she really couldn't see that if she didn't withdraw from the public eye soon, she would really turn into a monster!
And then there's the cheap owner; she's seen him secretly looking in the mirror several times.

The owner of this life is a completely mortal body, which is also subject to the erosion of time.

So she secretly made a bold decision.

Yes, Little Stone should have been aware of this decision.

But since there was no objection, she assumed that the child had already agreed.

When Jiang Qingyue returned home from her uncle's research institute, she saw a lot of luggage scattered haphazardly on the living room floor. She paused, then continued forward through the obstacles to reach Jiang Hanying, who was still busy packing. She squatted down beside her and asked softly, "Are you getting ready to leave?"

"Hmm," Jiang Hanying zipped up her jacket, turned around, and reached out to remove the glasses that were just for concealment from Xiao Shitou's nose, meeting his pair of bluish-gold pupils. "You have to take good care of yourself."

Jiang Qingyue remained silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "Okay."

When Li Chengxiao returned after completing all the handover procedures, all the luggage had already been packed and put into the RV.

Jiang Hanying waved while gripping the steering wheel: "We've been waiting for you. Get in the car, let's go!"

He silently got into the passenger seat.

Jiang Qingyue saw the two off at the gate until the car was out of sight, then turned back, picked up the phone Jiang Hanying had left behind, and began to handle all the matters after her departure.

Jiang Hanying chose the Northwest as her first stop, planning to visit her younger brother one last time before leaving.

Upon arriving at the destination, they found that in what was originally a desolate place, there had suddenly appeared a small house built of wood and stone that looked quite old.

Sensing the approaching vehicle, the door of the small house was opened from the inside, and a figure that looked vaguely familiar stepped out. "Feng Buyi?"

"Welcome, rare guest!"

*
After bidding farewell to the little sword spirit who was still shouldering the heavy responsibility of sealing the gate and Feng Buyi who had been silently guarding the little sword spirit for decades, Jiang Hanying headed straight for her final destination.

We arrived at Fengyin Lake in Yuejia Village at night.

The two found a boat and rowed out onto the lake to look at the stars for a while. Li Chengxiao glanced at his watch and said, "It's getting late, let's go back to the car and rest."

Jiang Hanying nodded, got up, walked to the side of the boat, and suddenly fell backward.

"Splash!" The sound of falling into the water came. Li Chengxiao had just grabbed the oar at hand when he heard the sound. He paused for a moment, then jumped in without thinking.

As soon as he entered the water, he was embraced, and Jiang Hanying pulled him down.

As Li Chengxiao descended to a certain depth, he just felt a bit of difficulty breathing when he felt a warmth on his lips as his breath came over.

Jiang Hanying stopped pretending to be upfront and directly asked him with her eyes: Up or down?

Going up means returning to the ship or RV, taking a tour around, and then heading back to Beijing.

She went downstairs, saying she was going back to her hometown, but even she wasn't sure if she could actually go back.

Li Chengxiao understood instantly. He reached out and cupped the still smooth and firm face in front of him. Now that things had come to this, he might as well take a gamble!

Once inside the boundary gate, the water pressure vanished instantly.

Jiang Hanying glanced at the tree that had recovered quite a bit not far away, thought for a moment, and then went over and broke off a branch.

She then closed her eyes and silently tried to recall, first thinking of the sect where the cheap master of the Canglan Realm was located, but there was no reaction at all.

After thinking about it, she was moved to the mountaintop where her cheap master was being chased and ultimately sacrificed himself in the battle...

The next second, "plop!"

I almost fell flat on my face!

The two of them couldn't help but take a deep breath as soon as they opened their eyes.

A long-lost spiritual energy!
But the next second, Jiang Hanying couldn't help but frown, "Why does it feel a bit thin?"

Li Chengxiao turned his head and saw her sniffing around like a puppy. He pointed to something he had just discovered and said, "There seems to be a white jade tablet over there."

"Let's go and have a look!"

Upon approaching, one sees the words carved into the white jade tablet: "This place is the site of the ultimate battle between ancient spiritual cultivators. Legend has it that Master Shuheng and his natal spirit sword are buried on this mountain peak..."

Jiang Hanying's mouth gradually opened wide, forming a goose egg shape. "It can't be what I'm thinking, can it?"

Has she and her cheap master become an ancient legend in the Canglan Realm?
Oh, now he's a living legend!
Before the two could recover from their shock, a streak of light suddenly appeared. "Where did this mortal come from, daring to disturb us... Pfft!"

This time, he and his sword were truly smashed to pieces.

Jiang Hanying gave a haughty snort.

What kind of trash dares to fly in front of her, the ancestor of the Spirit Sword!

Half an hour later.

Jiang Hanying sat cross-legged in front of the young man who had rushed over on his sword to investigate the anomalies at the ruins but had been spurred on by her. Her voice was somewhat unsteady: "So, it's been 30,000 years since the great battle on this mountain peak?"

Going back to my hometown suddenly made me feel 30,000 years older! Who would have thought!

But it's not without good news.

The Canglan Realm has undergone tremendous changes in the past 30,000 years. Although the original owner destroyed many of the sect's geniuses, causing all the sects, large and small, to be annihilated in the long river of history, new talents have always emerged and established new forces.

The current social system of the Canglan Realm is somewhat similar to that described in a novel about the revival of spiritual energy that she had read before. Spiritual cultivation academies are scattered all over the world, and as long as you have certain qualifications, you can obtain the qualification to cultivate in various academies. Improving your realm is equivalent to advancing to higher education.

"That sounds interesting. Is there an age limit for enrollment?"

She and her cheap master are both over 30,000 years old, which is older than the founder of this so-called spiritual academy!

Youth: "Huh?"

Jiang Hanying shoved the branch she was still holding into the ground and stomped on it. "Stop 'ah'ing! Let's go down the mountain and lead the way!"

If able-bodied men are offered up on our doorstep, we might as well take advantage of them!

After a year and three months, our story of Hanying and her cheap owner has officially come to an end. Hooray!

But their new chapter back in the Canglan Realm has only just begun. I originally planned to write more about their life in the Canglan Realm, but I think I'll stop here and leave room for imagination.

Finally, thank you all for your continued companionship and support. See you in the next book!
