“I was mad at the beginning, but my anger went away after a short while. It isn’t a big deal, and she didn’t mean to hurt me. She simply wanted to set me up with Han Chenglin. We’re fine now,” said Chu Peihan.

“That’s great,” Gu Ning said.

Halfway there, Gu Ning received a call from Baili Zongxue.

“Gu Ning, I’m at Qianling Mountain now. I heard that the shooting of Life After Life, Legend of Demon Flower is beginning today. Will you come?” asked Baili Zongxue. She just left the cultivation world today and was ready to go back to school, but as soon as she came out, she heard that the shooting of the new drama produced by Gu Ning’s company would be starting at Qianling Mountain today, so she decided to ask Gu Ning whether she would come. If Gu Ning was coming, she would wait for her. They could go to have a look, then go to school together.

“Sure, I’m on my way. If you want to go with me, wait for me. I should be there in twenty minutes,” said Gu Ning.

“Great, I’ll wait for you,” said Baili Zongxue.

“What’s Baili Zongxue doing at Qianling Mountain?” Chu Peihan sat on the front passenger’s seat, so she heard their talk on the phone.

“I don’t know. Perhaps she’s there for fun,” said Gu Ning. She obviously couldn’t tell Chu Peihan that Baili Zongxue’s home was in the cultivation world next to Qianling Mountain.

“Oh!” Chu Peihan asked that question casually, she didn’t have to know the answer.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Ning and Chu Peihan reached the parking lot at the foot of Qianling Mountain.

As soon as they arrived at Qianling Mountain, they sensed several cultivators.

It was where cultivators usually went in and out, so it was quite normal that there were cultivators.

Because there weren’t many visitors at Qianling Mountain during this season, Gu Ning and Chu Peihan saw Baili Zongxue the moment they entered the parking lot. Baili Zongxue also recognized Gu Ning’s car, so she immediately walked towards them.

When Baili Zongxue saw Chu Peihan, an idea dawned on her and she said, “Oh, I just remembered that you’ll be playing a role in Life After Life, Legend of Demon Flower.”

“Well, it seems I’m not important in your heart. You didn’t remember that until you saw me. It hurts!” Chu Peihan acted sad.

“Come on, I’ve been too busy recently, so I forgot about it. The idea dawned on me the moment I saw you!” Baili Zongxue explained. She stayed in the cultivation world all the time during the vacation, and spent every day cultivating.

There wasn’t any signal or Internet in the cultivation world, so she couldn’t use her smart phone. Her phone couldn’t receive a signal until she came out today.

Hearing that Baili Zongxue was very busy recently, Chu Peihan remembered that Baili Zongxue was totally absent during the vacation, so she asked, “What have you been busy with this vacation? I even felt as if you disappeared. You said nothing in our WeChat group, and didn’t even reply to my messages.”

“Will you believe it if I tell you my family dumped me deep in a mountain for training?” Baili Zongxue asked. She needed a persuasive reason.

“Fine, I accept that explanation.” Chu Peihan didn’t doubt it, because Baili Zongxue must have received training for a very long time given her extraordinary skills. In addition, Baili Zongxue had told them that she spent almost every vacation training.

Although Chu Peihan wasn’t clear about Baili Zongxue’s family background, she knew that Baili Zongxue couldn’t be from an ordinary family. She didn’t ask for more details, neither did Baili Zongxue offer any.

After that, they climbed up the mountain.

Due to the high altitude of Qianling Mountain, there were cable cars. However, Gu Ning and her friends had practiced kung fu for many years, so it wasn’t difficult for them to climb up a high mountain. They didn’t need to take a cable car. Instead, they directly walked. Most importantly, they had enough time to get to the top of the mountain on foot.

It might take ordinary people slightly more than an hour to get to the top, Qianling Temple, but Gu Ning and her friends only spent forty minutes on the road.

They didn’t even speed up. If they sped up, they could arrive within half an hour. If they ran, it would be even faster.

Actually, if it was only Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue, they could get to the top within a few minutes by using qinggong. However, there were visitors around, so they wouldn’t use qinggong.

Because some people also heard that the shooting of Life After Life, Legend of Demon Flower would begin at Qianling Mountain today, they came here for fun.

Qianling Temple was the main temple of Qianling Mountain, so it was also the shooting set of Life After Life, Legend of Demon Flower.

There used to be a sect at Qianling Temple, so it was very suitable for the drama. Although it had been rebuilt, it kept the same style.

Normally, only about a dozen people stayed at the top, but today there were about two hundred people.

Among them, forty people were the crew of Life After Life, Legend of Demon Flower, about a dozen were guests invited by Lu Zhan, while six people were representatives of other entertainment companies. And about twenty people were reporters, while the rest of the people were visitors and people who came to watch the launching ceremony of Life After Life, Legend of Demon Flower.

The launching ceremony of Life After Life, Legend of Demon Flower wasn’t grand, because Lu Zhan preferred to keep it simple. He only invited familiar faces.

It was just a launching ceremony, and they didn’t need to advertise it. Therefore, there weren’t many guests.

They would do the publicity after shooting began.

…

By the time Gu Ning and her friends arrived at the destination, the launching ceremony would begin half an hour later. All the staff were present and the equipment was ready. Only a few of the actors were absent, but they would arrive soon by cable car. Therefore, they could begin according to the schedule.

Normally, the crew picked a good time for the launching ceremony, so they wouldn’t delay it.

Because there was no road towards the top at Qianling Mountain, they moved their equipment up by cable cars.

It was heavy, but they divided it into several groups and moved them up several times. Even though the equipment was heavy, each piece didn’t weigh more than a hundred kilos.

A cable car could accommodate six people, and a person weighed about a hundred kilos, so each cable car could move two or three pieces of equipment up the mountain.

…

As soon as Gu Ning showed up, everyone said hi to her.

Because Chu Peihan was an actress and she attended the ceremony as an actress too, she went to see the other actors. If she stayed with Gu Ning all the time, there might be rumors.
