A top star in the Chinese entertainment industry, but also a Taoist priest.

But this little situation was no challenge for her. Jin Chen only paused for a moment before putting on a smile again and asking even more considerately:

"Why don't you go back and rest first, Yaoyao? Filming starts tomorrow, there will definitely be a lot of media, so it's better to look your best."

Chen Yao opened her mouth, but her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Chen Shouyi: "This..."

She was conflicted. On one hand, she really didn't want to affect her condition tomorrow, but on the other hand, she didn't want to leave just like that. These two thoughts were pulling at her, leaving her unsure of what to say.

Seeing Chen Yao's hesitant expression, Chen Shouyi had already made up his mind.

He saw right through Jin Chen's little scheme. This girl had been taking the initiative since yesterday, and today she was trying every possible way to create opportunities to be alone with him.

To be honest, Jin Chen is quite pretty and has a straightforward personality. She's a likable girl, but Chen Shouyi's interest in her is more about admiration than anything else.

What he was really interested in was Chen Yao.

The system gave a Dao compatibility score of 87, which is higher than Tian Xiwei's and is the highest among all Dao compatibility individuals so far.

The current solitary cultivation method is already powerful enough, but the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Landscape Cultivation Technique" also records the method of dual cultivation.

It is said that when Yin and Yang complement each other and enhance one another, the efficiency of cultivation can be raised to a new level.

With such a promising talent right in front of him, how could he possibly let Jin Chen send him away?

"It's alright," Chen Shouyi said calmly.

"When I went out this time, I brought some medicinal tea with me. One of them is called Nourishing the Spirit and Clearing the Complexion Drink, which is a recipe passed down from the temple."

Steep a cup of this in hot water before bed and drink it; it can calm the nerves and help you sleep, as well as reduce swelling and make you look better the next day.

Chen Yao's eyes lit up, and his slightly furrowed brows relaxed: "Daoist Master, really?"

"Of course." Chen Shouyi smiled slightly and said firmly, "This humble Taoist never lies."

Actually, this recipe was something he came up with on the spur of the moment. The Daoist canon of the Wenshi School does indeed record many recipes for health-preserving teas.

Ignoring Chen Yao's unusual behavior, Jin Chen quickly approached, "Daoist Master, do you have any more of these good things?"

She actually shared the same concerns as Chen Yao. After all, tomorrow was the opening ceremony, and everyone wanted to appear in front of the camera in their best condition.

It's just that she's not as famous as the other main actors in the show, so she doesn't get as much attention. She can just put on some makeup tomorrow, and it shouldn't be a big problem.

So she hadn't taken it to heart until now, but now that the Taoist priest said there was such a good thing, it was certainly even better.

Chen Shouyi nodded, Jin Chen smiled, turned to look at Chen Yao, and patted her on the shoulder:

"Yaoyao, are you relieved now? Let's go back and get it from the Taoist priest together."

Chen Yao glanced at Jin Chen, then at Chen Shouyi, a smile playing on his lips, and nodded.

"What are you taking?"

Naza had finished her call and returned, looking curiously at Jin Chen and then at Chen Yao.

Jin Chen immediately wiped the smile off his face and waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's nothing. We were just talking about where you guys are going later!"

She deliberately emphasized the word "you" very softly, trying to categorize Nazha under "you," with the meaning being clear: you and your "pond owner" go, I and the "Taoist priest" go our separate ways, let's each do our own thing.

Naza gave Jin Chen a strange look: "I'm with you guys."

She paused, as if suddenly remembering something, turned to look at Chen Shouyi, and asked with a smile:

"By the way, Master, could we add one more person later? I just told Zhang Han about you, and he's very interested and would love to meet you!"

Jin Chen's expression changed immediately. She had originally thought that Nazha and Zhang Han should get lost, but she didn't expect that this woman would not only stay, but also bring another one with her.

One Gulnazar is already an eyesore enough, if we add another one, wouldn't her private life with the Taoist priest be completely ruined?

"What's he doing here?" Jin Chen asked irritably. "Looking for a Taoist priest to tell me where I can lease a fishpond?"

The atmosphere instantly turned several degrees colder after those words were spoken.

"Pond Master" is a nickname given to Zhang Han's character in the TV series "Boss & Me," which was later turned into a derogatory term by netizens. Jin Chen calling him that in front of Nazha was clearly sarcastic.

Naza's face also darkened. She turned to look at Jin Chen, clearly displeased.

"Jin Chen, what do you mean? Did Zhang Han offend you?"

"It's nothing." Jin Chen crossed his arms, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips. "I just wanted to know why you young couples don't go out and have fun on your own, but insist on hanging out with us."

"You!" Naza's voice rose an octave. "Isn't it more lively with more people? Besides, Zhang Han said he'd treat us."

"No wonder he's the owner of the pond, he's really rich."

"Jin Daxi!" Nazha was genuinely annoyed now.

As Chen Yao watched the two of them argue back and forth, he subtly moved his feet closer to Chen Shouyi.

Jin Chen and Nazha usually have a good relationship, but they can really argue fiercely. She doesn't want to suffer any undeserved trouble if the two women actually start fighting.

She moved closer to Chen Shouyi, turned her head slightly, and whispered, "Should we try to persuade him?"

Chen Shouyi was watching the two beautiful female celebrities arguing with amusement.

It turns out that female celebrities can be quite amusing when they argue. One is sarcastic and the other is furious, just like ordinary people.

Hearing Chen Yao's words, he came to his senses and realized that this was indeed not a good thing.

Regardless of the circumstances, he was an invited guest, and seeing the two benefactors arguing in front of him, he should have intervened to smooth things over.

Chen Shouyi cleared his throat, took half a step forward, and spoke in a gentle tone:

"Benefactor Nazha, what brings Benefactor Zhang to this humble Taoist priest? If it is not urgent, we can discuss it another day."

Naza was still angry, but when she heard Chen Shouyi's question, she took a deep breath to suppress her anger and turned around to explain:

"He wants you to take a look at his fortune and future prospects. You're a fortune teller, so I thought I'd help him make an appointment and offer you some incense money."

As she said this, she couldn't help but glare at Jin Chen, "And this guy just keeps being sarcastic and sarcastic."

So they came to deliver money. Chen Shouyi thought to himself, "Oh," and his smile became even more gentle.

He turned to Jin Chen and reassured him, "Benefactor Jin is just concerned about your relationship; he has no ill intentions."

However, since you've come to me seeking advice on your career, today is probably not a convenient day. Tomorrow I have to preside over the launch ceremony, so I need to conserve my energy.

If Benefactor Zhang sincerely wishes to inquire, we may arrange to meet the day after tomorrow, at which time I will examine him in detail. What do you say?

After hearing this, Nazha's anger subsided considerably. The Taoist priest was right; tomorrow was the opening ceremony, and it was indeed inappropriate to overwork the Taoist priest.

She nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to him later and ask him to make another appointment with the Taoist priest the day after tomorrow."

Chen Shouyi nodded, then turned to Jin Chen and said with a smile, "Benefactor Jin, didn't you say you were going to sing karaoke? It's getting late, let's go."

Jin Chen glanced at Nazha, snorted coldly, turned around, picked up her bag, and strode out.

Chen Shouyi watched Jin Chen's angry back and then turned to look at Chen Yao, who was still standing there.

She was looking up at him with her head slightly tilted back, her eyes behind her glasses holding a hint of amusement after watching the spectacle, like a cat that had secretly observed the whole thing.

"Let's go too," Chen Shouyi said with a smile.

Chen Yao nodded and followed Chen Shouyi outside. After taking two steps, she couldn't help but turn back to look at Nazha, who was still standing there.

Naza stood there, watching Jin Chen's angry figure disappear, and then watching Chen Shouyi and Chen Yao walk out side by side. Finally, she realized what was going on.

and many more.

Jin Chen is getting anxious.

She recalled Jin Chen's behavior just now, and Nazha suddenly smiled.

interesting.

She and Zhang Han could meet anytime; they were both filming in Hengdian, so they had plenty of time to date. But she'd never seen a Taoist priest go to karaoke before, and if she missed this opportunity, who knew if she'd ever have another?

Besides, the more Jin Chen didn't want her to go, the more she wanted to go. She always enjoyed making things difficult for Jin Daxi.

Naza took out a hat and mask from her bag, quickly put them on, pulled the brim down, and covered most of her face with the mask, revealing only her deep, large eyes. Then she hurried after them.

The streetlights outside the alley were dim and yellow. Jin Chen walked in front, his pace slowed down, and he was looking down at the KTV to send a message to book a private room.

Chen Shouyi and Chen Yao walked behind, about half a shoulder's width apart. They didn't speak, but their steps were surprisingly synchronized.

Naza jogged up and grabbed Jin Chen's arm from behind.

Jin Chen was startled by her. When he turned around and saw that it was her, his expression was incredibly complex, a mixture of disgust, helplessness, anger, and a little speechlessness.

"Weren't you going to find Zhang Han?" Jin Chen said irritably.

"He'll be here later." Nazha smiled and tightened her arm around her, not letting her break free. "I'll sing with you guys for a while first."

Jin Chen took a deep breath, looked at Nazha's face, which was mostly covered by a mask but was still too beautiful, and then looked back at the Taoist priest and Chen Yao walking side by side. He rolled his eyes in his mind.

Forget it.

Tonight's plans are completely ruined.
