Chapter 719: Chapter 719: The Director on Set

But after so much time has passed, the Hushan Sect still hasn’t released any news, which is incredibly puzzling.

Finally, a piece of news came out from the Hushan Sect.

A mysterious Martial Saint specially spoke on behalf of Xiao Zheng.

Therefore, from then on, the Hushan Sect would no longer pursue matters related to Xiao Zheng.

When this news broke, the entire Jianghu was shocked.

A Martial Saint speaking up for Xiao Zheng!

No wonder, no wonder Xiao Zheng had been so bold as to directly attack the gate of a martial arts holy land.

With a Martial Saint behind him, anything was possible.

As long as he didn’t exterminate the Hushan Sect, provoking the old monsters behind it, anything he did was permissible.

At the same time.

Everyone was also amazed at Xiao Zheng’s strength.

Being able to forcefully kill Master Lie Huo, Xiao Zheng was undoubtedly in the deep end of Middle Stage Grandmasters or even, very likely, at the Peak Grandmaster!

Peak Grandmaster at just over twenty years old!

How monstrously talented must one be to reach such a level?

Xiao Zheng definitely counted as one of the most talented individuals in the martial arts world in hundreds of years.

A typical Martial Artist being able to reach the Innate realm at Xiao Zheng’s age would already be enough to be called a prodigy.

Yet, at this age, to break through and become a Grandmaster Level expert, the word ’prodigy’ is completely insufficient to describe the extent of his monstrous talent.

In the world of martial arts, everyone knew that a bright star was slowly rising in the sky of Hua Country.

...

Xiao Zheng didn’t care about the outside world’s turmoil; all he wanted to do was find the Golden Bone to continue living, to live his life well.

But with no news about the Golden Bone up to now, Xiao Zheng couldn’t do much and had to earnestly start working.

However, on the day he was getting ready for work, Xiao Zheng received a call from Chu Xiaoran, inviting him to watch her shoot a film.

Xiao Zheng only found out upon asking that the web series Chu Xiaoran was in had already started shooting.

Generally, newcomers who just joined a talent agency need a long period of training before they are allowed out to participate in various activities.

For Chu Xiaoran to get a chance to act in such a short time was quite rare and indirectly proved her ability.

Xiao Zheng was moved and naturally agreed; then, following Chu Xiaoran’s directions, he arrived at the filming location.

This place was a small grove.

The scene to be shot today was an action scene, where the second female lead was supposed to protect the leading lady and then fight a group of masked men in black. The second female lead was Chu Xiaoran.

When Xiao Zheng arrived, he could see from a distance that the set was bustling with activity, with directors, actors, lighting technicians, cameramen, and martial arts instructors, a large group of people, all gathered together.

This group seemed to be discussing the plot of the drama.

Xiao Zheng was startled.

Because he didn’t see Chu Xiaoran.

"Ah Zheng, Ah Zheng, I’m here." Suddenly, Chu Xiaoran’s voice rang out. Xiao Zheng followed the sound and saw Chu Xiaoran hanging in midair by a wire, swinging back and forth about ten meters above the ground.

Seeing Xiao Zheng, the young girl was very happy and greeted him.

Xiao Zheng, however, slightly furrowed his brows.

The director and a group of people were all gathered around a woman, seemingly discussing a scene, while Chu Xiaoran was left suspended mid-air, with nobody paying attention to her.

Now, on a bright sunny day, with the burning sun above, Chu Xiaoran was hung dozens of meters above the ground, baking in the sunlight, yet no one cared for her.

Xiao Zheng immediately felt distressed,

He nodded slightly, signaled to Chu Xiaoran, and then walked up to the director, saying, "Hello."

The director was in the midst of a discussion, and when he heard someone calling him, he looked up to see a stranger and impatiently said, "Are you here to visit? Just go about by yourself, don’t disturb us; we’re in the middle of discussing the plot!"

Xiao Zheng just smiled faintly and replied, "I’m a friend of Chu Xiaoran. Director, in such hot weather, it’s not right to have her suspended so high up. I see that your plot discussion is going to take a long time, why don’t you let her down first?"

On hearing this, the director frowned and said coldly, "Are you the boss or am I the boss? Do you know how troublesome it is to rig someone up and down with wires? As an actor, if you can’t even bear this bit of hardship, then what future can you have? Step aside."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Zheng’s expression darkened as he said, "It’s right to endure hardships, but that should be to perform better in the play.

But what’s the use of suffering now? You’re here discussing while a young girl is suspended mid-air, that’s not making her endure hardship, it’s deliberately making her suffer!"

In the filming set, the director is the authority, and no one can defy him. By contradicting him like this,

Xiao Zheng had instantly made the director angry. The director glared at Xiao Zheng furiously, "Who are you to spout such nonsense? I’ll have you know, in this filming set, I’m the one in charge, and everyone listens to me! If you don’t like it, fine, take your friend and get out."

Xiao Zheng’s pupils contracted, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes as he stepped forward abruptly, unleashing an overwhelming aura.

Although Evil God would not normally trouble himself with ordinary people, if someone was determined to court death, there was no helping it!

"What...what are you doing? Security, security!" the director jumped in fright, retreating several steps, his face growing pale.

He shouted loudly for security.

At the same time, other staff members, such as the assistant director and the cinematographer, also glared at Xiao Zheng, saying, "Why are you being so unreasonable!"

"Do you intend to make a scene on our set? Let me tell you, we’re not to be trifled with either."

The leading lady, who was being treated like a star surrounded by the rest, also looked at Xiao Zheng with disdain, commenting, "Where did this barbarian come from."

"Hmph."

To this, Xiao Zheng snorted coldly.

It seems that reasoning with these people was impossible; it was time for a bit of force.

"Ahh."

Suddenly, just at that moment, a cry of alarm came from a distance.

Everyone involuntarily looked over.

At a glance, they were all stricken with horror.

The wire suspending Chu Xiaoran had malfunctioned, snapped in the middle, and Chu Xiaoran was plummeting towards the ground from mid-air.

From such a height of over a dozen meters, if she fell, Chu Xiaoran could end up with at least a fracture, or even possibly lose her life on the spot.

Instantly everyone turned pale.

At that moment, Xiao Zheng’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he rushed forward, leaving afterimages in the air and instantly appeared beneath Chu Xiaoran, catching her as she fell toward the ground.

If he had been any later, or hadn’t been there, the young girl’s life might have genuinely been in danger. This damned crew, this damned director, did they not consider Xiao Ran’s life to be a life?

"I must apologize to everyone, as I was unable to update last night due to returning home for the new year, and I am truly sorry. Thank you for your rewards and votes, and I will make it up today!"
