If the Ai Ci's seniority was really above Shi Shiwu's,
Gu Ting wouldn't be surprised at all.
Although Gu Ting didn't believe in gods and ghosts, he had acted in a few Xianxia dramas in the past ten years of his career.
In the scripts that he had read, Taoist priests who were young but had a high seniority were usually geniuses with extraordinary talents.
Then, based on the abilities of the Ai Ci that he had seen so far, it was not impossible that she was Shi Shiwu's Uncle-Master or Uncle-Master.
Ever since he accepted the metaphysical setting,
He actually accepted all of this well,
And he was very clear that the Ai Ci was definitely not a small figure.
Of course, he knew that the scripts of Xianxia dramas were unreliable,
But unknowingly..,
He was a person who had always used facts as a basis to speculate the truth. In order to understand the Ai Ci better,
Little by little, he would draw his arguments from those fictitious things.
But at this time..,
Gu Ting realized that..,
Most of his understanding of the Ai Ci was based on his own speculations,
And not her own confession.
He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart,
But he still calmed his emotions,
On the surface, he looked no different from usual,
He strolled to the Ai Ci's side and sat down,
He pretended to ask casually,
"That person just now..,
Wasn't that the Shi Shiwu Taoist priest? "
"Yes, he said his name was Shi Shiwu." The Ai Ci nodded indifferently.
"You don't know him?" But that Shi Shiwu didn't look like he didn't know her.
"We just met."
He had just met and he came over to give her such a big salute?
"He looks a few rounds older than you. Why does his attitude look like he's your junior?" Gu Ting asked tentatively.
The Ai Ci sat up straight and said seriously, "In our line of work, seniority is based on strength,
Those with low cultivation meet those with high cultivation..,
They have to come over to pay respects to the mountain. "
Gu Ting had originally guessed so,
However, he now had some understanding of the Ai Ci. When she lied, her expression would be particularly serious, but her eyes would flash with a sly light.
Therefore, Gu Ting did not believe that the reason was so simple.
"So, how high is your cultivation?" he asked again.
"Hmm …" The Ai Ci suddenly pondered for a moment.
How should this be calculated?
She was not on the same level as humans!
Fortunately, before she could answer, Gu Ting asked again, "Shi Shiwu is quite famous in the circle. Since you are better than him, why haven't I heard of you before?"
The Ai Ci said, "I just came down the mountain."
"Go down the mountain?"
"It's the kind of otherworldly paradise hidden deep in the mountains. Do you understand?"
That was indeed how immortal cultivation sects were set up in Xianxia dramas. Gu Ting felt that something was wrong.
"So you don't have a place to stay at the foot of the mountain?" Gu Ting remembered that he had met the Ai Ci in Changbai Mountain, the capital, and Yunnan. He could not help but be curious about where she was from.
"Yes, drifting around the world with nowhere to call home."
The Ai Ci thought for a moment and changed her words, "Actually, that's not right. I have a house at the foot of the mountain. Unfortunately … there is no place for me to stay for the time being."
The deliveries were constantly stuffed into her house. She could not live in her original form.
However, in Gu Ting's ears, it had a different meaning: she had a home, but her family did not allow her to go home.
Gu Ting did not realize that ever since he met the Ai Ci, his imagination was almost as good as Lin Qing's. The Ai Ci's casual words directly outlined in his mind the image of a young girl who had left home to study, who was not accepted by her family, and who had a home was equivalent to not having a home.
Gu Ting knew that with her ability, she should not be like this, but he could not help but think, "What if? If that's the case, shouldn't I be nicer to her? "
However, when his gaze inadvertently fell on the row of empty cans on the ground, his face suddenly sank, "Why did you drink so much cola again?"
Ai Ci sighed and said in all seriousness, "This is a secret that can't be divulged to outsiders, but you've disturbed me time and time again because of this matter. For the sake of the harmony of our lives in the future, I must secretly tell you this matter. You have to swear to Heaven that you won't tell anyone else."
Gu Ting raised his eyebrows and looked at her without speaking.
The Ai Ci continued, "It's okay if you don't swear, but you can't spread it. Come closer."
Gu Ting moved closer to her slightly.
The Ai Ci was dissatisfied with his close distance. She leaned closer and lowered her voice mysteriously,
"— — Actually, drinking cola is good for cultivation."
Gu Ting did not expect her to be so close all of a sudden. His entire body stiffened, and he did not hear anything. He only felt a gentle and warm wind blowing into his ear, and an itchy feeling spread from his ear to his entire body. Even his brain did not seem to be able to function.
"Oh." He seemed to hear himself say that one word.
When he came back to his senses, the Ai Ci was already sitting next to Tian Qi to tutor him.
Gu Ting raised his hand and touched his earlobe in a daze.
— — It was shockingly hot.
What was the secret she just mentioned?
Drinking cola is for cultivation?
This girl is getting more and more perfunctory with her lies.
Gu Ting smiled helplessly. He bent down to pick up the remaining half of the box of cola, stood up and walked out. He happened to bump into Lin Qing, who was walking towards him, and stuffed the box into his hands,
"You can take care of this box of cola."
… …
"Teenage Parade" was completed in November. Wingl finished filming two days ago and was taken away by Jiang Wu while crying. Tian Qi also finished filming a week earlier and went back to school to study.
Yang Cai'ning and Gu Ting, as the male and female leads, were naturally the last to finish filming.
Ever since Shi Shiwu gave Yang Cai'ning advice, she, who had always been in awe of masters, did not dare to make things difficult for the Ai Ci. Instead, she became more and more afraid of her. She even trembled when she met the Ai Ci's eyes. She even stopped looking for excuses to strike up a conversation with Gu Ting after filming.
When the Ai Ci occasionally stood on the sidelines to watch the filming, Yang Cai'ning would be so scared that she would make dozens of bad takes. She would be scolded badly by Director Huang, but she still did not dare to give a reason.
At the wrap party.
The Ai Ci sat next to Gu Ting. Over the past few days, the other staff members had already gotten used to the fact that the two of them were more than assistants, but not yet in a relationship.
Gu Ting's behavior was already very obvious, but the two people involved did not realize it.
Halfway through the party, Yang Cai'ning stood up and toasted everyone one by one.
In this crew, she was the one with the lowest qualifications, so even if she was the female lead, she still had to put herself in a very humble position. She had to take the initiative to toast her seniors to express her gratitude.
She quickly toasted everyone else, and the last one was to toast Gu Ting.
Yang Cai'ning poured a full glass of wine and looked up at Gu Ting, who was sitting across from her. Her gaze involuntarily fell on the Ai Ci, and coincidentally met her gaze.
Actually, the Ai Ci had only casually glanced at her and did not pay attention to her at all. She even whispered to Gu Ting, "Don't force me, I've already restrained myself today." As she spoke, she tightened her grip on Little Cola.
Yang Cai'ning's entire body stiffened. She was afraid that her toasting to Gu Ting would attract the Ai Ci's attention. The hand holding the glass of wine trembled, and she did not know if it was intentional or not, but she spilled the wine all over herself.
"Oh, sorry, I have to go to the restroom." Yang Cai'ning felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She quietly let out a sigh of relief, put down the glass, and walked out.
After she mentally prepared herself in the restroom, she pushed open the door to the private room again. Gu Ting and the Ai Ci were both gone.
"Where's Teacher Gu?" That's right, she did not even dare to call him brother now.
"He had to catch a flight, so he left early."
"Oh."
Yang Cai'ning finally felt that the suffocating feeling in the private room was swept away. Her smile became much more sincere, and she immediately joined in a new round of toasting.
… …
On the other side, Gu Ting and the Ai Ci had finally returned to the capital.
Although their work had temporarily come to an end, there was a new problem in front of them.
When they were in Yunnan, their hotel rooms were right next to each other. Now that they were back in the capital, where the Ai Ci was going to stay was a problem.
Gu Ting did not know if the Ai Ci had a place to stay in the capital. Moreover, since she wanted to protect him, she should naturally live closer to him.
"What's so difficult about that?" Lin Qing said, "Aren't you living in a villa in the western suburbs? Don't you have several guest rooms in your house? "
"I just changed my house. It's in the city center."
"Why did you change your house again?" In the capital, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, Lin Qing was very jealous of this kind of extravagance.
Gu Ting said faintly, "The Ai Ci said that the Feng Shui of that villa was unfavorable to me, so I changed to another one."
Lin Qing was distressed. "Unfavorable Feng Shui?! Are you still the atheist Gu Ting? "
In the past, no matter how much he told Gu Ting about metaphysics, he did not believe it. However, when the Ai Ci came, he was so scared that he began to pay attention to the Feng Shui of the house.
The Ai Ci was not a master, but a little fairy.
"Is there no spare room in the new house?" Lin Qing asked.
"Although the new house is big, there are only two bedrooms, and one of them is used as a study," Gu Ting explained.
"If that's the case, it is indeed a problem. If I stay overnight, there will be no place for me to stay." Lin Qing fell into deep thought.
Gu Ting: "Hmm? I didn't think there would be such a problem. "
Lin Qing:??? So the problem you mentioned just now was not considering where I would stay? Then what problem do you have?!
Gu Ting thought for a moment and said, "Then don't stay overnight. I've never asked you to stay for more than a few nights in the past."
Lin Qing faked a smile and said, "Oh, if that's the case, then what other problems do you have?"
Gu Ting hesitated for a moment before saying, "It might be inconvenient if it's just the two of us."
Lin Qing pretended to be enlightened. "Oh ~ You're trying to say that a man and a woman are alone, right?"
Gu Ting: "…" Although the meaning was similar, why did it sound so different coming from Lin Qing's mouth?
Lin Qing: "Then there's no other way. Even if you move to a bigger house, there won't be a third person to stay with the two of you."
Lin Qing then asked the Ai Ci, "Master Ai, what do you think?"
The Ai Ci put on an indifferent expression and said, "We are outsiders, so we don't care about the difference between men and women."
Lin Qing:??? Wait a minute, are you a Taoist or a Buddhist?
In fact, the Ai Ci's idea was to first stay in Gu Ting's house for a while, and then take the opportunity to quickly buy a new house. This time, it had to be twice as big as the original one.
After hearing the Ai Ci's answer, Lin Qing still said to Gu Ting, "The girl doesn't even mind, so why are you so shy?"
Gu Ting didn't know why he was shy. He seemed to have a little hope that the Ai Ci would live with him in a new house, but his rationality kept suppressing this hope.
"Okay, let's go." In the end, it was still Lin Qing who made the final decision. Gu Ting didn't say anything else.
The Ai Ci and Gu Ting arrived at his new house.
This was a high-end residential area located in the city center. The security was tight, the privacy was high, and the greenery was good. It was a quiet place amidst the chaos.
However, for the Ai Ci, the scene in front of her was a bit too familiar.
She and Gu Ting entered the elevator, looked at the numbers, and finally stopped at a certain floor.
The Ai Ci raised her eyebrows.
