Chapter 691: Jiu The God Makes An Appearance, Premiere Date! (2)
Si Fuqing clapped her hands.
As she turned around, she saw Jiang Changfeng and JI Xingzhi staring intently at her.
Their expressions were oddly peculiar.
“What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen an employee resist a capitalist before?” Si Fuqing said expressionlessly. “Everyone wears a mask. It just so happens we are the Five States team. I’ve ordered a batch of Emperor Yin’s masks. From now on, this will be our signature. Any objections?”
Hearing this, Yu Xiheng looked up and replied nonchalantly, “Not a bad idea.”
JI Xingzhi shivered.
When gods clash, mortals suffer.
In front of the two powerhouses, he didn’t dare make a sound, let alone voice any objections.
Jiang Changfeng said, “No objections.”
He looked at the comments under Jiang Changning’s Weibo post asking him to take off his clothes, which gave him a headache. Covering his face might not be a bad idea after all.
After lunch, Yu Xiheng left the training base.
“Brother Nine, are you really going to play games?” Feng San waited in the car and tentatively spoke. “If the family head and the great elder find out, they…”
They would go mad.
“Mhmm,” Yu Xiheng leaned back in the seat, his eyes closed lightly, “Just helping out with the game.”
Feng San nodded, understanding. “Actually, Brother Nine, you could just call Miss Si. There’s no need for you to go personally.”
“Making the trip is necessary,” Yu Xiheng continued with his eyes closed. “To check on things.”
Feng San: “???”
He had seen Miss Si working very diligently, not slacking at all, just a particular fondness for gold bricks. Why had it come to a check?
Feng San cautiously spoke, “Brother Nine, don’t put too much pressure on Miss Si. What if she runs away?”
Finally, Yu Xiheng opened his eyes, his expression unreadable, then he said, “Drive.”
Feng San’s hand shook, and he immediately stepped on the accelerator.
He decided it was best to remain silent.
Elsewhere, in the city of Sijiu.
Ji Boyan had not been to the training base. Unable to contact him, the team coach contacted Ji Longtai.
Ji Longtai, accompanied by his guards, went out to look for him.
Not far from home, they found Ji Boyan unconscious by the roadside, his hands a bloody mess.
Judging by the dryness of the blood, he had been dumped there since early morning.
This was a blatant provocation!
Who dared to cause trouble right at the Ji family’s doorstep?!
Ji Longtai was furious.
He first had his guards take Ji Boyan to the hospital, then called all of Ji Boyan’s men together.
“What happened?” Ji Longtai slammed his hand on the table. “How did you take care of your young master?”
He had no sons, always a regret.
Though Ji Boyan was his nephew, he had always treated him as his own son.
Ji Boyan had formed a team, and Ji Longtai had invested a lot of money.
Seeing Ji Boyan injured like this, Ji Longtai couldn’t contain his anger.
“Mr. Ji, I was sent by the young master to An City yesterday and only returned this morning,” the secretary said, equally terrified. “Recently, with the OPL Greater Xia region starting, the young master usually only stays at the training base and doesn’t go anywhere else.”
“Find out who did this!” Ji Longtai shouted. “Find out and take them to the Thousand Army Alliance immediately.”
He wanted to see who had the gall to oppose the Ji family.
“What’s this about going to An City?” Ji Longtai’s gaze darkened. “Is there someone in An City who doesn’t know their place?”
The secretary explained the situation again.
Ji Longtai frowned.
Ji Boyan had tried to cripple the Five States team, and instead, his own hands ended up like this.
To say these two incidents were unrelated, he didn’t believe it for a second.
Definitely not a coincidence.
But did the Five States team have such power?
If they did, they wouldn’t have been suppressed by Ji Boyan for a year.
“Si Fuqing…” Ji Longtai paced with his hands behind his back, his eyes growing colder. “Look into her. You said several members of the Five States team had fractures. She’ll definitely have to compete herself in tomorrow’s match.”
“Before this is resolved, she cannot leave Sijiu City.”
Even if Si Fuqing was a spokesperson for the Oracle, she would have to pay the price.
The next day.
The Five States team set off.
The selection tournament was held in Sijiu City, with four venues in total. The Five States team competed at the third venue.
It was broadcast live.
With four selection matches happening simultaneously, the Five States team had the highest viewer count.
The audience noticed that today all the players of the Five States team were wearing masks.
Seated with masks and headphones on, their uniform team attire meant only their gender was discernible.
Si Fuqing was not hard to distinguish; she was the only woman on the team.
[I really believe Si Fuqing is a true fan of Emperor Yin, even wearing his mask during the match, and making everyone else wear it too.]
[Wait, are there substitutes? Apart from Si Fuqing, there’s at least two others changed. I can’t tell much difference with the one on the left, but the one next to Si Fuqing looks kinda handsome.]
[I can’t tell anything, just that the hands look nice.]
[!!! I command you to take off the masks, I’ve gotten used to seeing Si Fuqing’s face, it’s not like I’m going to get scared!]
The selection match was without suspense.
The Five States team continued to dominate their opponents with an absolute advantage, advancing to the next round with full points.
“This is Teacher Si’s first debut in the selection match,” the host smiled. “Teacher Si has many fans in both the entertainment and esports circles, many of whom are here today. Teacher Si, anything you’d like to say to them?”
The audience, many holding support signs, erupted in cheers.
Si Fuqing removed her mask and greeted them.
Cheers rose and fell.
“Nothing much to say, just welcome everyone to watch my first TV drama ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ on January 20th, where I play the female lead, Sui Yan,” Si Fuqing promoted the drama calmly. “No money for more ads, just a small plug here, don’t miss it as you pass by.”
The audience: “…???”
[Mousses: Is this woman stealing our jobs again???]
[Being a fan of Si Fuqing is usually easy, but sometimes it’s hard.]
[I’ve been ready, I will definitely watch!]
[I won’t watch ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’. January 20th is also the premiere date for ‘Great Zhao Dynasty’. Who watches xianxia? It’s all fictional. We should watch our country’s history, xianxia is too gory, unbearable.]
[‘Great Zhao Dynasty’ and ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ releasing simultaneously? ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ might struggle with ratings, tough luck for Si Fuqing this time.]
“I’m also looking forward to Teacher Si’s drama,” the host escorted Si Fuqing off stage. “Remember, January 20th, ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ premieres.”
Backstage, Si Fuqing took off the team uniform and changed into a dress.
Today was also the last stop for the roadshow for ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’, conveniently in Sijiu City.
Working people, time was indeed tight.
Song Yanqing and Yuejian came to pick her up.
Si Fuqing got into the car, lounging lazily, “We won, not very challenging.”
“Congratulations, congratulations,” Song Yanqing checked her tablet. “The schedule announcement is out tomorrow, and it’s going to be busy again.”
Si Fuqing stretched, “Sister Song, I trust you, you are the number one agent in Greater Xia.”
Song Yanqing, “…Stop with the labels.”
‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ and ‘Great Zhao Dynasty’ were both highly anticipated.
The fans of the two shows were at odds, and had been clashing these past few days.
Until noon, when ‘Great Zhao Dynasty’ announced its schedule.
[@GreatXiaTVOfficialWeiboV: @Tong Luoyun starring in the historical drama ‘Great Zhao Dynasty’ will premiere in prime time on January 20th, stay tuned!]
[I saw marketing messages claiming that ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ would be broadcast on Great Xia TV? So it’s just Si Fuqing’s fans blowing smoke?]
