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

Chen Shouyi walked ahead, a smile playing on his lips.

She figured it out herself? It would be a miracle if she actually did.

While the Nourishing and Rejuvenating Drink is certainly a good thing, it's not just that packet of herbal tea that keeps Chen Yao in such a good state every day.

Without the trace of spiritual energy I infused myself, how could it have such a great effect?

Didn't you see that Jin Chen and Nazha were clearly not as good as her on the day filming started? The difference between her and Jin Chen and Nazha is not a matter of the ratio of medicinal ingredients.

Chen Yao quickly caught up, still persistently asking, "Just tell me, why does it have so many benefits?"

"You've used it yourself, yet you come to ask this humble Taoist?"

"I don't think it's that simple," Chen Yao said seriously, looking at his profile.

"I've tried other health teas before, but none of them were as effective as yours. After drinking your tea, I feel great every day."

"Perhaps it's because you've been in a good mood lately, so you're sleeping well naturally," Chen Shouyi said unhurriedly.

"No, that's not it." Chen Yao shook her head, then glanced at him again. "It's because of your tea."

(Please remember the website 20 ...

Chen Shouyi didn't reply. The two walked a few more steps, and Chen Yao seemed to remember something, suddenly becoming a little embarrassed.

"Um—Taoist Master, the herbal tea you gave me earlier is almost finished."

She paused, then clenched her fist. "Do you have any more? I'd like to buy some more."

"Just come pick it up from me in a few days," Chen Shouyi said.

"Why do we have to wait a few days?" Chen Yao tilted her head and looked at him.

"The medicinal herbs I prescribed for you have run out, and I've asked Shouzhuo to buy some new ones in the next few days."

After hearing this, Chen Yao's steps unconsciously became lighter, and her tone became more excited:

"Thank you, Taoist priest. How much is it? I'll transfer it to your WeChat."

"It's all up to fate," Chen Shouyi said casually. "The matter of incense offerings mainly depends on destiny."

Chen Yao knew he wouldn't give a price, so she pursed her lips and didn't press him further. She figured she could just make a little more money later; she wouldn't treat him unfairly in something like this.

The two walked slowly back along the path they had come from, leaving the heat and noise of the hot pot restaurant behind them as it gradually faded into the distance.

The streetlights cast the shadows of the two people onto the stone pavement. Chen Yao walked to Chen Shouyi's right, her pace much slower than when she arrived.

She no longer led the way as she had done on the way there, but instead kept pace with him.

Sometimes when she walks to the stone steps by the roadside, she will subconsciously jump up and take a few steps, then jump down, and then jump up again.

After walking half a street, she suddenly felt that she was acting a bit strange, so she stopped jumping and started walking properly next to Chen Shouyi again.

The hotel lights shone brightly in the distance. Chen Yao looked into the distance and suddenly felt that she didn't want to finish walking this road.

She had never thought this road was so short before, but today it felt like walking even a little faster would be a waste of something.

She didn't say it aloud, but her pace slowed down slightly, intentionally or unintentionally.

The two walked side by side in the night, their shadows stretched long and short by the streetlights. A cool breeze blew by, and Chen Yao subconsciously leaned closer to Chen Shouyi.

The hotel was just a short distance ahead, the warm yellow light from the entrance shining on the steps.

Then a shout came from not far away.

"Master!"

The two of them looked up at the same time.

Shouzhuo was jogging over from the side door, carrying a plastic bag in his hand, running with a limp.

He ran up to them, first bowing to Chen Shouyi, and then noticed Chen Yao standing next to his master, so he quickly bowed again.

"Greetings, Benefactor Chen."

Chen Yao looked at the bag Shouzhuo was carrying with some curiosity: "Little Master Shouzhuo, are you going out so late?"

"Tiger and the others invited me to have barbecue and talk about something."

Shouzhu smiled and explained, then turned to Chen Shouyi and held up the plastic bag in his hand: "Master, this is what I packed for you."

Chen Shouyi glanced at it and nodded: "I've already eaten, you can take care of yourself."

Shouzhu grinned, then looked at Chen Yao, then at his master, and felt that he seemed a bit superfluous standing there.

"Master, I'll go in first."

Chen Shouyi stood at the door for a moment, watching Shouzhuo's figure disappear before turning his gaze away.

Chen Yao was still standing next to him, clutching her bag with both hands, her toes lightly touching the ground.

"Well—I'll go up first too." She turned to look at him. "Thank you for having hot pot with me tonight."

"What are you thanking me for? Didn't you treat us?" Chen Shouyi said with a smile.

Chen Yao smiled slightly, pursing her lips: "That's different."

She paused for a moment after she finished speaking, as if she was waiting for something or thinking about something, and finally just smiled gently.

"See you tomorrow."

Chen Shouyi smiled and said, "See you tomorrow."

The next morning, Hengdian was sunny again.

Chen Shouyi meditated and regulated his breathing in the room for an hour, and the spiritual energy in his dantian became even more concentrated.

After finishing his work, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Fang Ying to confirm the agent's arrival time in the afternoon.

Fang Ying replied quickly: "I will contact you around 2 PM, before they arrive."

With this confirmation, Chen Shouyi felt more at ease. After a quick wash, he took Shouzhuo downstairs.

The film set was much quieter today than it had been a few days ago.

News of Yao Yichen's injury has spread throughout the entire crew, disrupting the filming schedule. Today, the coordinator rescheduled the shoot, postponing all of Zhuo Yun's scenes and filming other background scenes first.

In the shantytown, Zhao Mingyuan was standing in front of the notice board discussing something with Zhou Zheng when he saw Chen Shouyi walking towards him from afar. He immediately stopped talking and quickly walked over.

"Master!" Zhao Mingyuan rubbed his hands together, both expectant and nervous. "About yesterday—"

"Are Benefactor Zhao and Benefactor Xu here?" Chen Shouyi asked.

"Yes, yes, Director Xu is in the studio overseeing the set design." Zhao Mingyuan quickly led the way, "This way, Master."

Xu Huikang was squatting in front of the monitor discussing camera positions with the cameraman when he caught a glimpse of Zhao Mingyuan leading Chen Shouyi over, and immediately stood up.

"Master, what have you thought about what happened yesterday?"

Chen Shouyi glanced at him and said without beating around the bush, "This humble Taoist is willing to take on the role of Zhuo Yun."

Xu Huikang and Zhao Mingyuan were both stunned at the same time. Then Zhao Mingyuan reacted first and slapped his hands together.

"That's wonderful! Don't worry, Master, it definitely won't delay your business!"

Xu Huikang also breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his hands in thanks to Chen Shouyi: "Daoist Master, thank you very much."

"No need to thank me. However, the specific contract and schedule will be discussed with you by my agent when he arrives this afternoon," Chen Shouyi added.

Having already heard about it from Chen Shouyi yesterday, Zhao Mingyuan nodded quickly: "No problem, no problem! We'll cooperate fully!"

After finishing their discussion, Xu Huikang and Zhao Mingyuan hurriedly went to adjust the notice board, and the shantytown quieted down again.

Shouzhuo was called away by Guo Hu and his group of stuntmen, so Chen Shouyi found a quiet corner in the inner part of the studio area to sit down and watch the crew film other background scenes.

After a while, Chen Yao came out of the dressing room.

She had already changed into the costume of Huayue, a light blue long dress with wide sleeves, her hair was styled into a pretty bun, and a small silk flower was pinned to her temple.

She glanced around the shed area, her gaze landing on Chen Shouyi in the corner, and then she walked over.

"Good morning." She stopped next to him.

"Good morning." Chen Shouyi glanced at her. "Do you have a scene to film today?"

"Hmm." Chen Yao sat down in the chair next to him, turning her head to look at him. "I heard you agreed to take it?"

"I agreed."

Chen Yao smiled, neither congratulating nor saying "That's great," but simply nodded with pursed lips. Then, as if remembering something, she turned to the side and solemnly extended her hand.

Chen Yao smiled, pursed her lips, stood up, took half a step forward, stood in front of Chen Shouyi, and then solemnly extended her hand.

"Well then—let's get to know each other again. I'm actress Chen Yao, and I play Hua Yue."

"Hello, actor Chen Shouyi."
