Master Ke had long harbored the idea of ​​taking on a disciple, and when he heard that Shen Zhi was going to delay her time to become his disciple because of that damned cinnabar imperial brush, he immediately became anxious.

"What's the point of looking for that broken pen? Do you even know who I am? Countless people are lining up outside wanting to become my apprentices! I don't accept those without talent!"

Shen Zhi raised an eyebrow and asked, following Old Ke's words, "Oh? You're very capable?"

Old Ke stroked the beard on his chin with an air of pride.

"No matter how powerful we are, we still have to find the Cinnabar Imperial Brush first. This is our mission. If we fail to complete it, we're doomed, right, Brother Linchuan?"

Shen Linchuan nodded in agreement and said in a serious tone:

"Master, Zhizhi and I have important matters to attend to. Taking on a disciple isn't urgent, so please don't disturb us for now, is that alright?"

When has the highly respected and revered Mr. Ke ever been complained about for talking too much?

Seeing that the two were still copying the Heart Sutra and neither of them was willing to pay attention to him, Old Ke felt extremely anxious, as if his heart was being scratched by a kitten.

"Stop copying! Stop copying! It's just about finding the Cinnabar Imperial Brush, right? I'll take you there!"

Shi Yang spat out a mouthful of tea: "What's going on?! We agreed to hold them here for half an hour, how did we end up leaving like this?!"

"Contact Elder Ke immediately and tell him to go back and sit down!"

"Old Ke! Old Ke! Your task is to stop them, not to lead the way!"

The assistant was frantically issuing orders through the headset, but Mr. Ke read them all without replying.

Shen Zhi and Shen Linchuan exchanged a smile, then immediately looked up in surprise: "Master, do you mean what you said? Does it count?"

"Absolutely! Follow me."

Old Ke got up and walked excitedly towards the southeast direction of the Sutra Repository.

Shen Zhi was secretly delighted. She pulled Shen Linchuan to his feet and quickly followed.

I originally thought finding the cinnabar imperial brush would take at least several hours, but I didn't expect this old master to be so kind and take them there right away!

Hey.

The viewers in the live chat were also taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

"You're taking them to look for it already? Could it be a trap?"

[It doesn't seem like it. This old gentleman is Mr. Ke from the China Calligraphy Association. The way he looked at Shen Zhi just now was like a cat looking at a mouse.]

[Zhizhi's handwriting is really beautiful! Is there anything this woman can't do?!]

Other idols I support are utterly disappointing; but supporting Zhizhi brings me endless surprises.

Meanwhile, Chen Qian, bored at home, clicked on the most popular live variety show recently.

He originally just wanted to watch some dating reality shows to find some inspiration.

A casual glance revealed the scene of someone writing calligraphy for Shen Zhi in the camera's view.

He immediately stopped.

Afraid that he was seeing things, he rubbed his eyes again to confirm.

Thinking of something, she quickly took down the collector's edition novel from her bookshelf. On the title page, there was SS's signature written in bold strokes with a pen, as well as a blessing.

Chen Qian carefully compared the text above.

"Holy crap... why is this girl named Shen Zhi's handwriting exactly the same as SS's?"

The more Chen Qian looked at it, the more it resembled the real thing, so he posted about it online.

[Regarding the latest clip from the variety show "Love is Beautiful": Does anyone else think Shen Zhi's handwriting looks similar to SS's handwriting?]

Fearing that netizens might not have a signed copy of the collector's edition, Chen Qian specially photographed the signature on the title page and also captured a glimpse of calligraphy during the live stream, putting them together for more netizens to compare.

The comment section became quite lively shortly after it was posted.

Holy crap... judging from the pictures you posted, they really are exactly the same...

[That heart character, it's exactly the same, isn't it! They're almost identical!]

[Could it be... OP, you've discovered Shen Zhi's alternate account?]

[Am I the only one shocked? How did the original poster manage to get the SS collector's edition? I remember there were only 10 signed copies of this version worldwide!]

In the comments section that followed, nine other people appeared, each of whom took a photo and uploaded it with their own signed title page of their novel.

Netizens were immediately filled with both envy and excitement.

The more you compare, the more you realize that Shen Zhi and SS have a very close relationship.

At this moment, Shen Zhi was unaware that her disguise had already been exposed by almost half.

With his hands behind his back, Old Ke led the two deeper into the Sutra Repository.

The bookshelves on both sides almost reached the ceiling, with scrolls of scriptures neatly stacked.

The light streaming through the skylight revealed dust particles swirling in the air.

Shen Zhi was even more shocked; she hadn't expected that the library contained so many scrolls.

If she and Shen Linchuan were to search on their own, they probably wouldn't be able to find their way out even after a whole night.

Old Ke recalled the location the director had told him about where the Cinnabar Imperial Brush was hidden, and walked to the innermost bookshelf. "The Cinnabar Imperial Brush is hidden in a secret compartment behind this row of bookshelves. You have to pull the blue silk-covered Diamond Sutra on the third shelf to trigger the mechanism."

Speaking of this, Old Ke's expression revealed a hint of pride: "It is said that some of these bookshelves have hidden mechanisms. If I hadn't brought you here, you would have gone through many detours."

Shen Zhi, standing to the side, noticed with her sharp eyes that the knot of the rope hanging from the scroll in front of her was different from the ones next to it; it was loose and limp, as if someone had tampered with it.

organ……

The moment the thought crossed my mind, I heard the clicking sounds of countless mechanisms turning and their axes engaging, echoing throughout the once quiet library.

"Don't take it out!"

Alas, it's all over.

With a flick of his wrist, Old Ke pulled the scroll out.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Suddenly, three or four arrows appeared out of nowhere and shot towards the spot where the three were standing.

Shen Linchuan reacted almost instinctively.

He took a step forward, put one arm around Shen Zhi's waist and pulled her into his arms, while his other hand quickly twirled the fan in his hand, spinning it to block the flying arrows.

The movement was as fast as the wind. Before Old Ke could react, the arrow, which was less than 5 centimeters long, was shot down by Shen Linchuan.

"Master, stand behind me!"

Shen Linchuan gave a stern command, his ears suddenly twitching as he keenly sensed many more arrows flying out from both sides.

He could only take off his cloak and twirl it to block the incoming arrows.

Although these arrows were treated as soft arrows by the production team and would not cause actual damage, they still made a dull thud when they hit the cloak.

Wow, the production team actually included hidden weapons!

Shen Linchuan's reaction speed is too fast; even martial arts dramas couldn't come up with those moves.

Am I even watching a variety show? Why is it so full of twists and turns?

[He's got such boyfriend potential! So handsome!]

After waiting a few seconds, Shen Linchuan confirmed that there was no movement around him, loosened his grip, looked down at the person in his arms, and softly comforted him:

"You're alright now. Are you hurt?"

Shen Zhi shook her head, looked Shen Linchuan up and down, and only after confirming that he was not injured did her heart slowly settle down.

She had seen Shen Linchuan get hit by an arrow.

She looked down at the pile of soft arrows on the ground, casually pointing them at a surveillance camera. She knew Shi Yang could see them:

"Uncle, you're so cunning! You'll come up with all sorts of ways to mess with us!"

Shi Yang, behind the monitor, was all smiles.

Being scolded by Zhizhi is actually a compliment to his project proposal.

It wasn't easy to fool Shen Zhi!
