Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Revealing the Truth in a Single Statement

Until not far away, Wei Xiao raised a loudspeaker and began to command loudly: "Lighting team, equipment team, camera crew, get ready..."

Jiang Lingxi shifted her gaze to the dark figure standing under the lens.

At this moment, almost everyone’s gaze in the crew was focused on him, even the passersby playing civilians nearby couldn’t help but glance over inconspicuously.

Jiang Lingxi: This outfit seems to absorb light!

After all, he didn’t even show his face.

Just as she was about to look away, she saw this person suddenly turn his head and look in her direction.

Their distance was still quite far at this moment, after all, she had no part in this scene and couldn’t just move forward.

Through the heavy flow of people and various machines between them, they locked eyes at first sight.

Jiang Lingxi looked at Shen Yunqing, who only revealed a pair of eyes. It reminded her of the first time she saw Shen Yunqing after waking up in Xiyuan, when he also wore a mask revealing only his eyes.

When you can’t see someone’s expression, looking into their eyes is the most direct form of gaze.

These are eyes that, no matter past or present, would make her give trust without hesitation.

At first, she was still a bit skeptical, not daring to believe that someone could encounter the same miraculous event as her.

To die and come back to life, crossing over a thousand years—if it hadn’t truly happened to her, she wouldn’t dare imagine it.

Afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

What if they were just two similar people?

Until her speculations were gradually confirmed in her heart...

The reason for pretending to be clueless despite understanding was something even she hadn’t figured out herself.

Having lived through another life, their identities had undergone earth-shaking changes. Perhaps, subconsciously, she hadn’t acclimated to this disparity.

But a more crucial reason, which she did not allow herself to think deeply about, seemed to let their relationship continue as it was.

Until this moment, Xu Ling’an inadvertently revealed it!

"Sister?"

Jiang Lingxi withdrew her gaze first, looking down at Xu Ling’an who was still waiting for her analysis help. She took a deep breath and replied in an enigmatic tone, "Maybe she’s also wondering, what kind of connection is there between them."

"Ah?"

Jiang Lingxi smiled, "It’s not the right time yet, let’s wait, there will be an answer in the future."

When it comes to love between a man and a woman, even if she can read minds, even if she’s lived through another life, she is no different from those ordinary people just beginning to experience love.

It is something that, in one’s life, cannot be determined by oneself alone.

In this regard, all beings are equal.

"Let’s watch the scene first."

*

The lavish carriage adorned with gilded jade turned into a dark alley. Not far ahead was the back door of a brothel.

Inside the carriage, a few people were crudely discussing which courtesan was the most beautiful, which had the best talent, and which was the most gentle as water, until the carriage, which was originally moving steadily, suddenly stopped.

The few people inside the carriage hadn’t reacted at all, and due to inertia, they lunged forward. The one sitting closest to the door almost half fell out of the carriage.

Without opening his eyes, he drunkenly shouted, "Liu Er, how are you driving? Why did you suddenly stop? Are you looking for death?"

"Young, young master, there’s..."

The terrified voice of the driver finally brought back some awareness to those in the carriage. They opened the door, trying to widen their eyes to look forward, only to see a faint shadow almost blending with the night illuminated by the lantern hanging from the carriage.

Only a pair of equally black eyes looked over at them.

At the moment their eyes met, they shivered in unison.

"Who, who are you?"

Shen Yunqing, however, had no intention to waste words with them. He stepped forward, raised his hand, and knocked out the trembling driver with the sword scabbard, then jumped onto the carriage and kicked each person off one by one.

After being hit a few times, the people, even if drunk, woke up from the pain and quickly resisted.

Although they were poorly educated heirs of aristocratic families, they had access to far more learning resources than ordinary people, so they had some skills.

Thinking they could fight back with their numbers, they found out they were overestimating themselves.

Resistance only resulted in being beaten more severely.

Finally, they lay on the ground groaning, and Shen Yunqing stopped at the right moment. Before leaving, he deliberately lowered his voice to warn, "If I hear you spouting nonsense again, I’ll beat you every time I see you. Do you understand?"

"Ow, it hurts."

"Understood, understood."

The sound transmitted through the audio receiver made Jiang Lingxi and Wei Xiao pause.

Because this line wasn’t in the script.

The original content was that Shen Yunqing would leave directly after venting his anger.

Fortunately, the extras lying on the ground were smart enough to react.

"Okay, cut, passed!"

Shen Yunqing jumped down from the top of the wall, with the help of the crew, he took off the wire harness, and after helping up the extras who were still on the ground and expressing some concern, he walked toward Wei Xiao, who was signaling for him.

Wei Xiao had just flipped through the script, confirming there was no such line and that he hadn’t remembered incorrectly.

Seeing Shen Yunqing walk up to him and remove the mask, Wei Xiao asked, "If I remember correctly, this is your first time adding a line. What made you think of adding this one before leaving?"

Shen Yunqing first glanced at Jiang Lingxi, who was walking over, then slightly out of breath, replied, "I just said what came to mind."

Jiang Lingxi was just in time to hear this line as she approached.

Wei Xiao thought for a moment and nodded, "Adding that line seems reasonable too. Prime Minister Shen is still young and should have the vitality of a young person. However, if you have ideas for adding lines in the future, you must communicate with me beforehand. I almost shouted CUT just now!"

"Okay, I’ll remember."

Wei Xiao pointed to a nearby chair, "Rest for a bit. After reshooting a few more scenes, we can wrap up."

Shen Yunqing sat down and pursed his somewhat dry lips.

His outfit covered him from head to toe, fitting tightly around his body.

Although today felt cool, it was still midsummer, and they had been shooting action scenes continuously for almost half an hour, so he could even feel the sweat trickling down his back.

Hot and thirsty.

Jiang Lingxi had originally intended to observe whether he was injured during the fighting scenes, trusting him to control his strength, but the extras he worked with might not have that capability.

But as she got closer, she felt the heat radiating from him, his breathing was fast despite trying to suppress it, and his eyes were not as lively as usual, looking somewhat droopy and, in a way, messy.

She turned around and beckoned towards Lu Zhengzheng.

When the girl jogged over, Jiang Lingxi reached out, "Give me the cooling patch and cooling wipes from the bag. Do we still have water?"
