Chapter 206 Turning on the TV

That being said, Jian Ning now had another cyan mid-grade spirit stone in her hand.

She happily put it into her Qiankun Ring.

I had a very fruitful day; I could have bought over a hundred Marrow Cleansing Pills.

Having spirit stones feels so great.

Jian Ning seized the opportunity to ask, "Master, could you please return the materials I used to make the flying boat, such as the Mystic Crystal?"

"When you have completed your studies, I will return you to your teacher." After Cang Jin finished speaking, he sat back down under the eaves, holding a bamboo strip that he didn't know where he got it from, and it looked like he was weaving something.

Jian Ning didn't know what he was going to do when her phone rang in her pocket.

She took out her phone and saw that it was a video call from Zhang Nan. After answering, she walked to the sofa in the living room and lay down.

Zhang Nanxing demanded an explanation: "Well, you went to the arcade today without even telling me!"

"I was just going out with a friend. We'll go together next time you come back," Jian Ning coaxed, then asked, "How did you know?"

Zhang Nan said, "Someone posted a photo of themselves with you, and it went viral. Netizens followed the trail and found that the person had previously posted information about arcade deals. That's how I knew you went to the arcade."

Jian Ning rubbed her forehead. "How can something so small make it to the trending topics?"

It's no wonder Jian Ning found it strange; paying to get on the trending topics list is common knowledge in the industry, there's no such thing as giving away traffic for free.

“There were paid trolls stirring up trouble in the comments, spouting nonsense. That girl probably also found it strange, wondering why the post suddenly became popular and trending.” Zhang Nan picked at his vegetable salad, chewed a couple of times, and said, “She must be a true fan of yours. As soon as she saw it was trending, she noticed the comments below weren’t right and deleted them immediately.”

Jian Ning sensed something was wrong. "I've been out of the entertainment industry for over half a year, and there are still people trying to leech off me?"

"Yeah, but don't worry, it didn't stay on the trending list for long before it went down." Zhang Nan spoke so casually because the trending topic didn't have much of an impact.

Zhang Nan ate his food absentmindedly, as if it were just a casual snack, but he was particularly enthusiastic about gossiping.

"However, what's the real story between you and that paparazzi? The comments say that you were dating him, that you broke up with Gu Yan, and that you colluded with the paparazzi to create a lot of negative publicity for Gu Yan."

Jian Ning hadn't seen the news online and didn't know what was going on.

"What kind of nonsense is this? They're bringing up such old, trivial matters to whitewash things?"

Zhang Nan sighed, "Sigh~ Isn't that how it is in the industry? After half a year, someone who's been tarnished can simply change netizens' memories and turn their past scandals into a clean slate. Gu Yan recently signed with Xia Momo's company, and the boss of that company is pretty good at marketing."

Jian Ning doesn't work in the entertainment industry anyway, so she's too lazy to put her energy into these unimportant people.

"Ignore them."

Zhang Nan nodded and asked, "Do you want to come over and sleep with me tonight?"

She certainly knew about Jian Ning's sword-flying ability. A journey of several hours by high-speed rail was nothing to Jian Ning; setting off on his sword was a piece of cake. Jian Ning declined, saying, "I'm not coming. There are people at home these days, and I have some things to take care of."

Zhang Nan paused in his bite of the vegetable leaf, turned his head to the side, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled enigmatically: "Who is it? So late."

Jian Ning glanced at the figure outside the door, then lowered her voice and said, "It's not what you think. I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to have dinner too."

She quickly hung up the video call, fearing that Zhang Nan might say something inappropriate.

After the braised pork ribs and rice was ready, Jian Ning poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, "Master, would you like some?"

“No need,” Cang Jin refused.

Jian Ning used her usual large serving bowl to fill herself a big bowl of braised pork ribs with rice. On her way to the dining table, she couldn't help but take a few more sips.

This braised pork ribs rice is absolutely delicious!

Jian Ning sat at the dining table, and Cang Jin came in at some point and sat opposite her.

Cang Jin asked curiously, "How did that girl know you today? Do you have some prestige in this world?"

While eating, Jian Ning talked to Cang Jin about things in the entertainment industry.

Cang Jin listened attentively, his eyes filled with interest, as if he were hearing a storyteller recount an interesting tale he had never heard before.

When he traveled around the world, he loved to hear about strange and wonderful things from different places.

They are most interested in things they know nothing about.

Cang Jin tapped the jade flute lightly in his hand and said slowly, "So, you mean you used to be an actor? Actors turn a story into a TV series. What form does a TV series take? Shadow puppetry?"

Jian Ning swallowed the mouthful of fragrant rice in her mouth and called out, "Xiao Ai, classmate."

A cute, mechanical female voice immediately replied, "I'm here."

Jian Ning: "Turn on the TV and play Journey to the West."

Cang Jin followed Jian Ning's gaze and saw that the dark thing suddenly became bright, and a sound came from inside, with a monkey jumping around inside.

His interest grew, and he got up and sat down on the sofa in front of the television.

Jian Ning had only eaten half of her rice while explaining things about the entertainment industry to him, and now she finally had a chance to eat a few more bites.

While eating, she opened her phone and proactively searched for her own name.

Only then did I see the previous entry, and upon clicking on the comments below, I frowned slightly.

There really are people who pay online trolls to smear her.
