Chapter 1746: Chapter 1593: Isekai Entertainment Tycoon 23
When Zang Lin made his move, he finally saw clearly that it was Jian Shuangshuang who had appeared. He was startled and had no time to pull back his attack, so he tried his best to change the direction to minimize the damage.
Not only was Zang Lin nervous, but even Zhen Shu, who had been helping Jian Shuangshuang select actors for the auditions, was also frightened. Unfortunately, she was too far away and couldn’t save anyone in time.
Just when both Zang Lin and Zhen Shu believed Jian Shuangshuang would definitely get hurt, she effortlessly neutralized Zang Lin’s attack without suffering any harm.
After deflecting the attack, Jian Shuangshuang’s eyes gleamed as she looked at Zang Lin: "Zang Xuan Doctor, are you interested in acting?"
Zang Lin, who was so scared his heart almost leaped out: "?"
Zhen Shu also rushed over, grabbing Jian Shuangshuang and spinning her around, leaving Jian Shuangshuang looking at Zhen Shu in puzzlement.
Zhen Shu, holding her chest, knocked on Jian Shuangshuang’s head in exasperation: "You almost scared me to death, you know? How could you run into a Xuan Master’s path like that? What if you were hit? Wouldn’t it have been unjust?"
Only after Zhen Shu’s words did Jian Shuangshuang realize her earlier behavior was a bit inappropriate. She had been so absorbed in the casting that she made such a rude move.
Jian Shuangshuang immediately apologized to Zang Lin: "I’m really sorry, Zang Xuan Doctor, I was too rude just now."
Zang Lin waved his hand, not really concerned: "It’s okay, it’s okay, as long as you’re not hurt. But I really didn’t expect that Miss Shuangshuang was also a Xuan Master."
Although Zang Lin was a Xuan Master, he was on the verge of breaking through to a Great Xuan Master, with a combat ability far beyond an ordinary Xuan Master. The fact that he was shocked proved that Jian Shuangshuang’s speed was unbelievably fast, catching Zang Lin off guard.
Moreover, her ability to easily intercept Zang Lin’s attack indicated that Jian Shuangshuang’s combat ability was no lower than Zang Lin’s, because Zang Lin, startled, had not had a chance to hold back.
Given Jian Shuangshuang’s young age, possessing such cultivation, Zang Lin’s emotions were complex; it signified that Jian Shuangshuang’s talent was indeed at a demonic level.
Zang Lin, himself a direct descendant of the Zang Family, had an astounding talent and various resources at his disposal yet was only about to break through to become a Great Xuan Master now.
His talent was already hailed as top-notch, yet Jian Shuangshuang’s talent seemed even greater, making Zang Lin lament slightly that such a good cultivation prospect in Jian hadn’t been discovered by anyone.
"Yes, Shuangshuang, you turned out to be a Xuan Master, how come you never mentioned it before?" On the other side, Zhen Shu was also very surprised; she had no idea Jian Shuangshuang was a Xuan Master.
Jian Shuangshuang casually smiled, speaking nonchalantly about cultivation: "Before, I met a Xuan Master who gave me a Cultivation Method, so I just cultivated a bit by myself."
Jian Shuangshuang briefly mentioned the cultivation matter, then turned her attention back to Zang Lin, continuing her previous persuasion: "Zang Xuan Doctor, what do you think about my earlier proposal? Do you want to try acting?
Acting is really interesting, allowing you to completely transform into someone else, experiencing a different life. This kind of experience is really fun, Zang Xuan Doctor, you should give it a try."
Jian Shuangshuang’s words were very tempting, successfully steering Zang Lin away from the shock that Jian Shuangshuang was a demon-level genius.
The most interesting part of becoming a star is experiencing hundreds of different lives of different people, immersing oneself in another identity, another world.
Jian Shuangshuang’s words indeed had great appeal to Zang Lin, who had a playful side and already liked movies, sparking his interest immediately: "Can I act too?"
Seeing Zang Lin’s reaction, Jian Shuangshuang was delighted. It was a success. She quickly nodded: "Of course you can. Zang Xuan Doctor is so smart, you just need to learn for two days to be able to act."
Jian Shuangshuang wasn’t exaggerating; Zang Lin was indeed very smart, and smart people learn anything quickly.
Jian Shuangshuang was right. After she simply explained what acting was, Zang Lin understood, and after a few demonstrations, Zang Lin’s performance was already quite convincing.
This talent surpassed everyone before, making Jian Shuangshuang very happy. What thrilled Jian Shuangshuang even more was Jiang Wanling introducing another person who could play the third female lead, the Oiran.
This person was also a member of Jiang Wanling’s troupe. She had once studied acting with Jiang Wanling, a sister named Duan Xiaoxuan, particularly beautiful, with the kind of beauty that could be called troublesome.
Due to Duan Xiaoxuan’s beauty, before she could even take to the stage to sing, someone had already taken a fancy to her, wanting to take her as a concubine.
Duan Xiaoxuan, proud and with a backbone, refused even unto death. The person pressed on step by step, and the theater troupe master, unable to offend the other party, intended to send Duan Xiaoxuan away.
As a result, Duan Xiaoxuan steadfastly refused, even climbing to the highest tower in Wujia Town, jumping off, attempting suicide.
Though she didn’t end up dying, she got injured. That person, seeing Duan Xiaoxuan like this, feared taking her by force would only leave him with a corpse and reluctantly backed off.
However, despite backing off, they directly issued a warning, forbidding any theater troupe from accepting Duan Xiaoxuan, essentially cutting off her path to perform.
Unable to perform, Duan Xiaoxuan was forced to return home to help her parents run the family’s small restaurant. Seeing Duan Xiaoxuan unable to act, the person felt appeased and ceased pressure.
Jiang Wanling didn’t hide anything; when introducing Duan Xiaoxuan, she directly mentioned Duan Xiaoxuan’s troubles as well.
Previously, Jiang Wanling hadn’t intended to mention Duan Xiaoxuan, but seeing Jian Shuangshuang was a Xuan Master, who holds an extraordinary status and isn’t easily provoked, she changed her mind.
Moreover, with Zang Lin, a clearly formidable Mystic Doctor, and Zhen Shu present, Jiang Wanling figured that with none of them being simple people, any one of them could protect Duan Xiaoxuan, elevating her from her low point. As Duan Xiaoxuan’s friend, Jiang Wanling wanted to help her.
Sure enough, Jian Shuangshuang, Zang Lin, and Zhen Shu paid no heed to the person who offended Duan Xiaoxuan. Zang Lin had previously guessed Jian Shuangshuang’s level was similar to his own.
But in fact, Jian Shuangshuang had already broken through to become a Great Xuan Master. With her current cultivation, no one in Wujia Town dared to provoke her, so Duan Xiaoxuan’s offender was of no concern to her.
With Jian Shuangshuang unfazed, Zang Lin, backed by the Zang Family, and Zhen Shu, whose background was also not simple, cared even less. So there was no need for discussion; Jian Shuangshuang immediately decided for Jiang Wanling to bring Duan Xiaoxuan over.
Jiang Wanling happily agreed and called Duan Xiaoxuan over that very day.
Duan Xiaoxuan, wearing plain cloth, appeared to be leading a hard life. Standing before Jian Shuangshuang, she was somewhat reserved. Nonetheless, her beauty lived up to Jiang Wanling’s praise, extremely beautiful.
