As Expected, an Angel

The song "Shennü Pi Guan" successfully diverted Ruan Mei 'Ruan Mei attention, easing the atmosphere around her considerably.

However, the opera troupe does not perform only one play, nor is Yunjin the only performer.

So after Yunjin left the stage, the next play was immediately brought up.

Yunjin set the mood right from the start.

While the following scenes didn't have the same wow factor as Yunjin's opening bombshell, they were all still quite excellent.

Moreover, due to the mixed-up world, there are also plots like "Guan Yu with a red face fighting Changsha" that even Liu Bai can understand without any problems.

Only...

"Liu Bai, that Guan Gong..."

"Ah. You've made something of yourself, Little Gui."

Chapter 259 She really is an angel

At this moment, the person on the stage wearing a bright red theatrical costume, looking like Guan Yu, wielding a prop sword with great vigor, is none other than Little Gui.

Guinaifen naturally noticed the three people who were positioned relatively close to the front, and her occasional glances at them carried a hint of a gentle smile.

However, Guan Gong's serene smile is just... well, let's just forget about it.

"When did she get here?" Dian asked, slightly puzzled.

"I don't know if Ling Dao is fierce, but Xiao Little Gui Zi Er was originally self-made and has natural talent, so it's not surprising that he was able to sneak in."

Liujiu

Little Gui isn't exactly a pushover either—he's just relatively easygoing compared to the other troublemakers in his family.

With questions in mind, the three watched the entire performance.

Guinaifen only appeared once, well... it was alright.

After the show ended, the three of them did not leave immediately, but instead went around to the backstage area.

"Gentlemen, what lies ahead..."

"Hey! Boss Liu!"

As the security personnel stopped the group, Guinaifen's energetic voice rang out.

"Security guard, these are people I know."

"He's someone I know."

Guinaifen and Yunjin walked together after removing their makeup.

"Mr. Yun? I was blind to your greatness. Please come in."

The security guard from the opera troupe even had a strange singing accent in his voice. Hmm, no wonder it's a family-run opera troupe.

This security guard is clearly not a temporary worker.

Afterwards, Guinaifen and Yunjin led the group to a private lounge.

"Boss Liu, why didn't you tell me you were coming here today? It can't be...?"

Guinaifen rested her chin on her hand, looking at the three people in front of her with a scrutinizing expression.

"A secret date?"

"Maybe?"

"Hey! Deny it!"

"Then don't ask such pointless questions." Bai patted Guinaifen on the shoulder. "But to be honest, this was all a coincidence—so how did you get in here?"

"I work to supplement my family's income."

"Don't act like I can't afford to support you."

"Well... okay, I was just itching to do it." After her clumsy lie was exposed, Guinaifen scratched her head and showed an embarrassed expression. "I've wanted to do some live singing and acting for a long time, but I never had the chance when I was in Xianzhou."

"Even comedian Bo has an artistic heart!"

"I'm not a comedian! No! I'm a streamer! Don't sound weird!"

"You two, there's a limit to your flirting," Dian said, pressing the two of them down.

Well, watching these two sing in unison really annoyed her.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yun, please excuse my poor manners."

"Ling has nothing to do with Meng Xiliu." Yunjin smiled gently. "But I, Ling, thought... no, it's nothing."

Yunjin's gaze swept over Liu Bai and Eden.

Guinaifen saw these people, Yunjin naturally saw them too, but Yunjin was more professional.

And to be honest, Yunjin felt that if it weren't so dark in the audience, Eden and Liu Bai might have been even more eye-catching than her, the mainstay of the show.

At that time, seeing Liu Bai and Eden occasionally whispering to each other, she thought that Liu Bai and Eden were a couple.

It seems that I guessed wrong.

"Thank you for taking care of Little Gui."

"No, no, no, I should be thanking Miss Guinaifen. The original lead actor sprained his ankle during rehearsal yesterday. If it weren't for Miss Gui's kind heart, the play probably wouldn't have been able to be performed."

"Gui... um, oh, Little Gui really does like to join in the fun." Dian nodded.

"Eden, have you forgotten my name?" Guinaifen suddenly sensed something and looked sharply at Eden.

"..."

That was awkward.

Eden did forget for a moment, after all, he was so used to the nickname that everyone called him "Little Gui Little Gui". Suddenly someone came up and said "Miss Guinaifen" in a very serious manner, and he couldn't recognize the person for a moment.

Of course, there is a difference between Eden and Mobius. Eden's brain malfunctioned due to habit, while Mobius was too lazy to remember before realizing the threat posed by Guinaifen.

"How could that be?"

"Hmm~~?"

"Ahem, let's not talk about that. Mr. Yun, it's been a long time. You're still as charming as ever."

The abrupt turn of events occurred after only two months apart.

"Eden, you are even more radiant now," Yunjin said with a smile.

"Do I...?"

"Yes, you no longer look confused like you did before," Yunjin remarked.

Two months ago, Eden seemed completely lost, so even when offered a stunningly beautiful woman, Yunjin didn't accept her advances.

Are you still striving to become a big star?

"Of course." Dian nodded.

"Actually, I think you're being a bit too ambitious... although it's only human nature."

Neither side was ashamed to talk about fame and fortune.

People need to eat, there's no need to be so pretentious.

Yunjin is just a bit reserved like the people of Shenzhou, but Yunjin ultimately has to support the Boss Liu of a theatrical troupe, so her reserve is not hypocrisy.

In comparison, those who think sex education is immoral are the ones who are truly hopeless.

Just as a certain celebrity criticized, "The imagination of the Shenzhou people can only leap so far in this aspect"—although this sentence can be used anywhere, its connotation is truly insightful.

"It seems you've met a benefactor." Yunjin nodded.

If Eden were still here and wanted to come for an interview, she would definitely agree immediately, but such a thing is impossible.

However, if given the chance again, Yunjin would still do the same thing—to be honest, she wasn't mature enough to guide another person; it would be irresponsible for her to accept Eden.

Occasionally, she would also worry about the future of Yun-Han Opera Troupe.

"What are you doing now, Eden?"

"Online broadcaster".

"Huh?" Yunjin was somewhat surprised. "Eden, you actually..."

Yunjin found it hard to imagine that Eden, a die-hard classicist, would do something like live streaming.

Live streaming should be synonymous with trendiness...

"Everyone should be willing to try."

(Please, please don't ask me my name... please don't!)

"I see." Yunjin's eyes seemed to have made up her mind. "In that case, Eden, how about I keep an eye on this?"

(Aaaaaah! I'll kill you, Liu Bai!)

The question was still asked.

"... Isn't that necessary?"

Hearing Eden's excuse, Yunjin gave a wry smile, "To be honest, I've also been troubled by the future of Yun-Han Opera Troupe recently. Because of social development, young people nowadays are becoming more and more... no, I should say that our Liyue Theatre is not keeping up with the times and can't capture the hearts of young people."

Plays are meant to be performed for others to hear.

If others don't like listening to it, then there's something wrong with the play.

"Therefore, the income of our Yun-Han Opera Troupe in the past two years... can only be described as dismal. We have barely managed to survive by relying on our previous savings and the help of Liyue Qixing."

"Isn't the Shennü Pi Guan quite good?" Dian had learned about Yunjin beforehand for the interview, so he naturally knew what new shows this Mr. Yun had come up with.

"... There's only the Shennü Pi Guan the Temple." Yunjin sighed. Writing a play script is no easy task.

"Moreover, the Shennü Pi Guan is still on the old track, which doesn't feel innovative enough."

"... Not being unconventional might be a good thing," Dian said.

For example, this way you don't have to become some kind of super beautiful angel Eden.

"Perhaps." Yunjin nodded. "So I'd like to learn from your success. I'm also preparing to do some live streaming, so how about we follow each other?"

"..." Dian was silent, then looked at Liu Bai and pulled him over. "To be honest, this is my manager. I was able to get rid of my confusion entirely because of her guidance. Mr. Yun, if you have any questions, you can ask him."

"Um... I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Liu Bai."

Liu Bai, who was forcibly dragged over, was speechless, but he had no choice but to agree since he was already being forced into it.

"Yunjin, the current head of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe." Yunjin smiled at Liu Bai, then bowed and said, "Please don't hesitate to give me your guidance. As for the reward..."

Yunjin looked thoughtful.

"No need, there's no need for any compensation."

If Liu Bai arrived in this world, Yun-Han Opera Troupe might have been a significant asset, but now that Liu Bai has reached this point, Yun-Han Opera Troupe is already a minor force.

To put it bluntly, Yun-Han Opera Troupe is now one of Liu Bai's future assets...

Whether or not I receive a small reward doesn't matter.

Yunjin's Affection Level: 2225

"... This is something Yunjin should not accept."

"Tell me first, what kind of innovation do you want, Yunjin?"

"... Innovations that are more popular with today's young people?"

"It's really ambiguous." White eyebrows raised, "For example, Tang San buried Sanda Bi Ma Wen?"

"...ha?"

"It's about the muscular hunk Tang Sanzang and the proud and aloof girl Sun Wukong—ah!"

Eden pinched the soft flesh of Liu Bai's waist from the side.

Can't you say something that a human being can understand?

"..." As expected, Yunjin also fell silent. "Isn't this... a bit too novel?"

It sounds like a show that will ruin its reputation.
