Chapter 215: A Deathly Aura

After having their tickets checked, the two of them entered Wuxia City.

Wuxia City was huge. There were many areas where costumed staff put on shows, as well as numerous food streets.

There was also a section dedicated to amusement park rides for visitors.

In the center of Wuxia City stood a large stage where internet celebrities were scheduled to perform later.

Meng Xiaoxiao glanced at the stage. "I heard Wuxia City invited Gong Feng to perform today. She used to be a top influencer, incredibly popular. Now, you barely hear a peep from her on Douyin. All she can get are gigs at low-rent theme parks like this."

Shen Zhiyao had already noticed a large crowd holding light-up signs, gathered excitedly around the stage.

Gong Feng had over a million fans and was still fairly well-known on Douyin. But compared to a top-tier star like Meng Xiaoxiao, her popularity was still far too low.

Meng Xiaoxiao looked toward the center of the stage. "Actually, the Gemini Group was really talented. If her partner were still alive, they’d still be at the very top. It’s a shame Gong Feng just doesn’t have the talent to carry the group on her own."

She felt a genuine sense of pity for the Gemini Group, but she didn’t want to linger. "Come on, let’s go on some rides. We can come back for the concert later."

When she turned her head, she saw Shen Zhiyao with a roasted sweet potato in one hand and grilled gluten in the other, already taking large bites.

Meng Xiaoxiao was speechless. "...When did you buy that? How could you just start eating by yourself and not offer me any?"

"I just grabbed them when we passed the food street," Shen Zhiyao said, waving the food in her hands. "You’re a celebrity, you have to watch your weight. I didn’t get you any because I was worried you’d get fat. What do you think? Aren’t I considerate?"

Meng Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Meng Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized it was true. She couldn’t eat too much, worried it would affect how she looked on camera.

She watched as Shen Zhiyao went on a buying and eating spree. After finishing skewers, roast duck, and fried chicken, she bought ice cream and milk tea, and finally a large portion of roast suckling pig, eating as she walked.

Meng Xiaoxiao watched with envy and couldn’t help but snipe, "Eating so much meat this late, aren’t you afraid of turning into a pig? What, did you quit acting?"

Shen Zhiyao said, "Don’t worry. I have a special constitution. I don’t gain weight no matter how much I eat."

Meng Xiaoxiao felt even more envious.

When they reached the amusement ride area, Meng Xiaoxiao pointed at the Ferris wheel. "I want to ride that! During a previous shoot, there was a scene where the male lead proposed to me on a Ferris wheel. But I was so focused on filming that I never actually got to enjoy the ride."

Seeing Shen Zhiyao glancing around, clearly not paying attention to her, Meng Xiaoxiao waved a hand in front of her face. "What are you looking at?"

Shen Zhiyao said, "I felt a strong presence of death energy outside, but I lost it after we came in."

At her words, Meng Xiaoxiao glanced around again. "Death energy? Why didn’t I feel anything?"

Shen Zhiyao said, "You’re a demon. How could you possibly feel it?"

Meng Xiaoxiao was speechless.

’Awesome. Someone who studies Taoist Skill really is different, always hitting the nail right on the head.’

Soon, the shrill scream of a ghost soul echoed from the direction of the Central Square. Shen Zhiyao’s gaze turned cold as she looked over, seeing a faint aura of death energy lingering there.

"It’s in the Central Square! Let’s go!"

"Wait, didn’t we agree to ride the Ferris wheel together...? Hey..."

Before Meng Xiaoxiao could finish, Shen Zhiyao was already dragging her toward the Central Square.

Although Gong Feng wasn’t an A-list singer, her drawing power was still considerable.

As the music began, the crowds in Wuxia City surged toward the Central Square.

Shen Zhiyao and Meng Xiaoxiao had to struggle to squeeze their way to the edge of the Central Square.

Shen Zhiyao had excellent eyesight and could see everything happening in the Central Square, even through the sea of people.

At that moment, a young woman in a tube top and heavy makeup stood on stage, singing and dancing with a group of backup dancers.

Because the dance moves were so vigorous, her top kept slipping down, forcing Gong Feng to periodically pull it up. Members of the audience below started catcalling.

Meng Xiaoxiao glanced over, confused. "The Gemini Group was a big deal a few years ago. Now that it’s just her, she’s getting treated like this on stage? Her clothes don’t even fit. Are the park staff blind? Can’t they see what’s happening?"

Shen Zhiyao sighed. "Not everyone can be like you, gaining millions of fans just by being a pretty face. If people like her want to get famous, they have to do what the venue tells them to. That means resorting to all kinds of tactics."

Just as she finished speaking, they spotted an old man with white hair and a beard standing on a platform across from them.

It was Master Chen!

’Master Chen is from Wudang Mountain. If he’s here, then Chen Yan must be here too, right?’

Shen Zhiyao scanned the area but couldn’t see Chen Yan anywhere.

She turned her head and saw a tall, powerfully built man standing on a platform near the square.

A far cry from his usual scholarly demeanor, he was wearing tight black pants and a baseball cap pulled down low. Standing in the shade of a tree, he practically melted into the darkness.

If it weren’t for her excellent eyesight, Shen Zhiyao would have missed him completely.

Chen Yan seemed to sense something. He turned his head, and his eyes met Shen Zhiyao’s.

He leaped directly off the five-meter-high platform, as agile as a bolt of lightning.

After scanning the area, Chen Yan walked up to Shen Zhiyao. "What are you doing here?"

Shen Zhiyao replied, "Shouldn’t I be asking you that?"

Meng Xiaoxiao, feeling annoyed, put her hands on her hips. "Why did you only notice Yaoyao? Am I invisible or something?"

Only then did Chen Yan notice her. "You’re... Meng... Why did you change your face to one that’s so ugly?"

"I was afraid of being recognized!" Meng Xiaoxiao said, changing her face to a prettier one. She looked at Chen Yan in confusion. "How are you so bold? You’re not even using a Spell to hide your face here in Wuxia City."

Chen Yan waved his hand dismissively. "I’m being plenty low-key, alright?"

He had very little fame in the entertainment industry, so he wasn’t worried about being recognized.

On the show *Qing Qing Wo Wo*, although many people had become fans because of his looks, his presence on the program had been unremarkable.

When he had gone to help Meng Xiaoxiao, he had intentionally stayed out of the camera’s line of sight.

Even when he’d hit Qin Feng, he had deliberately avoided the show’s cameras.

Chen Yan only had a real presence in the early part of the show; later on, he was completely overshadowed by Shen Zhiyao’s brilliance. As a result, his fan count didn’t increase by much.

He just needed a slight change in his appearance to make it hard for people to recognize him.

Just then, Master Chen also managed to push his way through the crowd. "It’s confirmed. The death energy is coming from Gong Feng."

As soon as he looked up, Master Chen saw Shen Zhiyao, and his expression immediately soured. "Why are you everywhere?"

The last time he had seen Shen Zhiyao was with Chen Xu, his only disciple. And because of a single word from her, Chen Yan had killed Chen Xu without a moment’s hesitation.

Master Chen didn’t dare show his anger to Chen Yan, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t hold a grudge against Shen Zhiyao.

This whole business with the Judicial Sect was her fault, too. She had nothing better to do and just had to go and help the five vengeful souls in that basement pass on.

Master Chen snorted and started to criticize Chen Yan. "You knew the Judicial Sect has a grudge against us, yet you still helped Shen Zhiyao guide those vengeful souls! Do you have any idea..."

"You talk too much," Chen Yan said lightly, which was enough to shut Master Chen up.

Chen Yan gave Shen Zhiyao a faint smile. "Old Chen is getting on in years and tends to ramble. Don’t take anything he says to heart."

Master Chen looked like he wanted to say something, but he was afraid of angering Chen Yan. Instead, he walked off to the side by himself, stomping his foot and sulking...
