Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Spiritual Energy Absorbed

In the villa, as Gong Qiming was mid-sentence, he suddenly covered his ears, stung by the abrupt disconnection of the call.

"He hung up on me, he actually hung up on me!" Gong Qiming incredulously stared at the landline.

"We’re about to join the crew, hurry up and get ready."

The strikingly beautiful woman patted Gong Qiming’s shoulder gently from behind.

It was none other than Shen Peipei, the lead actress from a romance drama recently on TV.

In those days, with few channels and TV series, entertainment options for families were quite limited.

Whether in the countryside or the city, people tended to gather around the television in the evening.

In the city, virtually every household had a television, as it was considered an essential for marriage.

In the villages, people would congregate in the homes of those who had a TV, bringing something small every few visits so as not to lose face.

Although celebrities at the time didn’t earn as much as they would in later generations, the fame of actors and singers was incomparable.

Romance drama heroines were especially popular, known to virtually every family; you could ask any old lady on the street and she’d know all about them.

Gong Qiming’s mother was one such superstar actress, married to the famous director Gong Yehua.

The two were both partners and spouses, well-known throughout the country.

Both strikingly handsome, it’s no wonder they had a child with Gong Qiming’s envied good looks.

It’s just too bad he also inherited a mouth that could invoke universal annoyance.

After discovering her child had a natural talent for acting, Shen Peipei often took him with her to join drama crews.

Of course, she would never admit that this was because the script was predetermined and could shut her son’s relentless chatter up.

"No, I have something important, I need an answer right now, immediately, this instant." Gong Qiming called back, but there was no answer for a long time.

Finally, a student passing by picked up.

"Hello? This is Lingguang University, who is this?"

This time, it was Gong Qiming who angrily hung up the phone.

"He just left like that, does he not know how long and how hard I’ve tried to..."

Since Gong Qiming began to speak, Shen Peipei had grown accustomed to his incessant babbling.

She could tune out completely, not paying the slightest attention to what he was saying.

"Hurry up, the car is in the yard."

"But I still have things to do, wait, don’t pull me, stop dragging me, I told you, I have to first..."

"Shush!" Shen Peipei’s fair fingers pressed against her lower lip, "The play is more important than anything, if you don’t obey today, you won’t be allowed to leave the house in the future."

With Gong Qiming’s temperament, he would go crazy if confined to the house.

He could only follow Shen Peipei listlessly.

In his mind, he figured that although following her to the set would take half an hour, the temple couldn’t run away even if the monk could.

Now that he knew Yue Jiannan was studying at Lingguang University, once he got out of the set...

Yue Jiannan sneezed out of nowhere, quickly throwing the piece of paper with the phone number into the trash.

Thinking it over, he took it out, tore it into shreds, and then threw it away again.

What a nightmare, truly a nightmare...

In the future, never call back a strange number on impulse.

Over a month went by, and Yue Qingqing faced the first exam of her life.

Perhaps not to discourage the children, all the questions were very easy.

Yue Qingqing finished writing in no time, and there was still an hour left.

Since it was inappropriate to look around in the examination room, Yue Qingqing concentrated her Spiritual Energy into several tentacle-like extensions to see around her, replacing her eyes.

If there were any cultivators present, they might have seen a little girl with several furry tails emerging from behind her, probing in every direction.

Yue Qingqing lay on the desk, having practically checked everyone’s papers in the classroom, as if doing the teacher’s job.

But then she felt a sudden blockage in her flow of Spiritual Energy.

It was abruptly sucked in as if encountering a black hole.

The black hole, having gotten a taste, began trying to expand its range, searching for more Spiritual Energy.

Yue Qingqing turned her head to look at the source, which was none other than Qu Ruorui, not far away.
