After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 631 This is destiny.

Therefore, the light in Yueyouque's eyes gradually faded, and even his entire being lost its luster.

Even though the colors of his clothes and tattoos were still vibrant, they couldn't hide the gloom and emptiness that emanated from him.

At this time, the other sect leaders also offered some advice, roughly saying, "Without rules, there can be no order," and "If ordinary people are not disciplined, they will only be like headless flies, which is also a disaster for the world," and so on.

Xuanji Tongzi remained quietly seated in her carriage, an open-air carriage, and did not participate in the discussion at all.

Her eyes revealed a sense of vicissitudes that had pierced through hundreds of years, calm as a still well, yet carrying a hint of understanding and sorrow.

Even if she doesn't participate in the discussion, she still has to exist here and now; that's fate.

The conversation gradually calmed down.

Xuanji Tongzi then uttered her only line in this scene: "This is destiny."

The moon, though waning, lifted its gaze and fixed it on her face.

Xuanji Tongzi calmly met his gaze, as if she were not human, but a stone that had existed between heaven and earth for a very long time.

The disappointment in Yue Youque's eyes deepened, and he slowly began to move his gaze, scanning everyone in the room.

Apart from the former crown prince, no one could meet his gaze.

Yue Youque seemed to understand something from their eye contact. He turned his gaze back to his own hand, and his lips twitched very slightly, as if he were mocking himself.

He then clenched his fist, raised his chin, and nodded.

At that moment, as if divinely inspired, a sudden gust of wind blew in, and the sky darkened a bit. Yueyou's long hair and outer robe fluttered in the wind.

He lifted the hem of his robe, turned around, mounted his horse, and said, "Please go back."

Xuanji Tongzi waved first, and a disciple of Xuanji Pavilion came over, picked up the carriage, and she drove away in a cloud of dust.

The other sect leaders gathered around the Crown Prince, their expressions varying—some were alarmed, some were relieved, and some remained doubtful—but none of them uttered a word. The scene ended with the monks slamming their staffs to the ground.

This last still frame is so evocative, it's just as good as those candid shots at a photography exhibition.

"Card!"

Qi Nanzhao shouted, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When the wind came just now, I thought we had to reshoot the whole thing. Luckily, no one was disturbed."

Her concerns were not unfounded. Although Sheng Luoxin could maintain the same expression before and after the scene, others might not be able to do it. This is something that actors with many roles need to be careful about.

"That's a wrap!" Qi Nanzhao called out again.

This wind is blowing badly; a sandstorm may be coming.

Tonight we must put all the equipment and other supplies inside the tent to prevent them from being damaged by the wind and sand.

As for whether we can shoot outdoor scenes tomorrow, it depends on the size and path of the sandstorm. If it's just passing through, it won't have any impact. But if it lasts for a while, then we'll have to make major adjustments to the schedule.

"Not bad, Teacher Ji."

Ye Sanqing said to Ji Wan.

Qi Canglang, the leader of the Canglang Alliance, seems to be a marginalized figure because his domain is unrelated to anyone else's, yet he is omnipresent. Therefore, in the later stages, everyone maintains a delicate balance of power while keeping their distance from him.

But this wasn't the case in the early stages. At that time, Qi Canglang was just a passionate young man, so what he needed to express in this scene was bewilderment.

He couldn't understand the destiny that Xuanji Boy spoke of, nor could he understand the ideals spoken of by the former crown prince. He also couldn't comprehend the sorrow of the waning moon.

He only knew that the court was corrupt and needed to be overthrown, but what would happen after the overthrow?

Shouldn't it be over by now?

Why do his friends no longer seem like friends?

How Qi Canglang transformed from this pure and simple character into a strange man who later claimed to be the incarnation of the sea god is something that is not directly expressed in the drama.

Upon hearing the praise, Ji Wan smiled sheepishly, "I've learned a lot from the teachers! Am I qualified?"

"If the director doesn't yell 'cut,' then it's a wrap, right?" Ye Sanqing said with a smile.

"Of course you're qualified! What misunderstanding do you have about me? I'm very strict!" Qi Nanzhao shouted as he looked up amidst the flurry of arrangements.

"Look, the director said you have to believe in yourself too."

Ji Wan scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Everyone has such a strong presence. It's okay now, but later on, if they say I'm on the same level as them, will that convince the audience?"

Yan Siqiong rode back on a balance bike and said, "Where is Teacher Ji not convincing? I think it's great, very much in line with the original work."

For some reason, Ji Wan felt a little flustered when he saw her and took a step back.

Ye Sanqing: "?"

Ji Wan: "Smart kids are more terrifying than mischievous kids..."

Ye Sanqing chuckled. It seemed that Yan Siqiong's excessive intelligence sometimes posed a challenge for the adults.

"Let's hurry up and go, the wind is picking up."

Sheng Hanyu and Sheng Luoxin walked over together and said.

"Teacher Sheng was really amazing just now! Uh..." Ji Wan praised, then blushed because he was at a loss for words.

"Thank you, you're great too. Xiao Yan's balance bike looks nice, can I borrow it for a spin?"

For some reason, Sheng Luoxin suddenly felt childlike and asked Yan Siqiong.

Yan Siqiong glanced at the vehicle's maximum load capacity and readily nodded.

Sheng Hanyu: That's outrageous, he hasn't changed his clothes yet...

"Your clothes..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw Sheng Luoxin lift the corner of her clothes, tuck it into the gap in her belt, and ride away on her balance bike.

"I'm so sorry, Xiao Yan..." Sheng Hanyu found the scene absurd and couldn't help but laugh and apologize.

"I'm fine. I was just driving it back from there anyway. We can walk back together."

Yan Siqiong said calmly.

"let's go."

Everyone quickly went back together, some removing their makeup and others changing their clothes.

Sheng Luoxin was the fastest this time; he had already finished when everyone arrived. Standing at the door, she smiled and said, "I also want a balance bike; these things are so fast."

"I'll buy it for you. What color do you want?"

"Red, it matches my clothes."

Since Sheng Hanyu and Ye Sanqing didn't remove their makeup, they said goodbye to the others and prepared to return to their RV.

But as soon as they took one step, the sandstorm became unbearably strong.

Ye Sanqing thought for a moment, then called out into the tent, "Everyone, come eat in my RV after you're done! It's spacious enough!"

"Looks like tonight's going to be lively," Sheng Luoxin said with a happy smile.

Sheng Hanyu thought to himself, "It's good that he's not withdrawn anymore."

“You’re right, it’s windy and dusty outside, and the staff are busy reinforcing the tents. It’s safer to stay in the RV.” Sheng Hanyu added to the RV, “Teachers who don’t have a scene tomorrow can go straight back to the hotel, it’s okay!”

The fear is that if Ye Sanqing summons them like this, everyone will be afraid of being seen as an outsider, and those who originally planned to go back will all come instead, which would not be Ye Sanqing's original purpose.
