Shock from the Martial Arts Instructor

"Pfft."

Seeing Liu Yifei's expression, her makeup artist couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sister Wang, are you laughing at me too?" Liu Yifei feigned fierceness.

"No, I just thought of a joke too," Sister Wang offered a flimsy excuse.

"Are you two's jokes the same?" Liu Yifei's volume increased.

Sister Wang exchanged a glance with the person who had laughed earlier, and they both nodded in unison, "Yes, yes, yes."

Liu Yifei: "..."

"Mom, look at them," Liu Yifei tried to get Liu Xiaoli to defend her.

"Lie still and don't move, it'll hurt more later," Liu Xiaoli lightly patted Liu Yifei's calf.

Seeing that she couldn't get support, Liu Yifei chose to "kill" Zhang Yang with her gaze.

Liu Xiaoli, Sister Wang, and the others found it amusing.

Liu Yifei was actually quite lively in private, but rarely interacted with people when filming, fitting the "Fairy Sister" aloof image outsiders had of her.

Especially with men. Previously, Liu Xiaoli had been very strict with her, fearing she'd be deceived due to her young age. Now, she had relaxed her grip, but Liu Yifei herself didn't like making male friends.

Most men felt pressured when facing Liu Yifei because she was too outstanding.

Someone as casual as Zhang Yang was quite special!

"Sister Xixi, your injury is quite serious. It looks like it was caused by being suddenly pulled hard while sitting on a chair, resulting in compression, and you didn't get immediate treatment," Zhang Yang looked at Liu Yifei's injured area with piercing eyes.

Liu Xiaoli and Sister Wang were taken aback.

Liu Yifei had gotten injured during the first scene this morning, but she endured the pain and didn't say anything until she finished filming not long ago.

Liu Xiaoli had seen the injured spot earlier and her eyes had reddened with heartache. She had severely scolded Liu Yifei for risking her life while filming, then went to get the first-aid kit with concern, only to find the medicine spilled inside.

She didn't ask an assistant to buy more, but immediately prepared to borrow from the stunt team.

Even the director didn't know Liu Yifei was injured yet, so Zhang Yang couldn't have heard about it.

He must have genuinely seen it.

"You can even tell that? You're quite amazing," Liu Yifei raised an eyebrow.

Although she said this, she wasn't very surprised. Instead, she felt it was natural.

She was also something of a martial artist herself. A few days ago, when she saw Zhang Yang's fight scenes in The Legend of Dugu, she knew he possessed the Childhood Skill and was very knowledgeable about injuries like this.

"Just a bit of experience," Zhang Yang withdrew his gaze and said, "If you trust me, you'd best go to the hospital to get some targeted anti-inflammatory and pain medication. Otherwise, the next week will be difficult to get through."

Liu Xiaoli paused her movements and looked up, asking, "It's that serious?"

"The injury isn't minor, and it's been delayed. It might affect the nerves," Zhang Yang nodded.

This was experience gained from Zhao Kuangyin's lifelong battles; it definitely wouldn't be wrong.

"That won't do. I need to tell the director and take Xixi to the hospital," Liu Xiaoli decided immediately.

Liu Yifei initially wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but then felt ungrateful, so she let Liu Xiaoli have her way.

"Thanks to you, it looks like I can skip work this afternoon," Liu Yifei was optimistic and joked.

"You're welcome," Zhang Yang said, looking at the Opportunity Points added to his Opportunity Manual, a slight smile on his lips. "Of course, if you really want to thank me, I can reluctantly accept. For example, some snacks, braised food, or a pot of good tea."

"You're really not holding back, are you?" Liu Yifei teased.

Sister Wang and the others found it amusing.

The two of them bickered as if no one else was around.

Nazha: Are these just ordinary friends!? Do they think I'm easily fooled?

Liu Xiaoli returned quickly, accompanied by a woman in a white coat, a member of the film crew's medical staff.

The female doctor examined Liu Yifei's condition and said with a serious expression, "Looking at the bruising and swelling, it is indeed a bit serious. It's best to get it checked at the hospital to avoid nerve damage."

With the female doctor's words, Liu Xiaoli first went to greet the director, then found the on-site production manager, made the necessary arrangements, and took Liu Yifei to the nearest hospital.

Xiao Qin, one of Liu Yifei's personal assistants, was left behind to update Zhang Yang on the situation at the film set.

After Zhang Yang had a general understanding of the situation, the morning's filming was temporarily concluded, and lunch boxes were distributed.

Zhang Yang took this opportunity to report to Chen Jiashang.

"A'Yang, you're finally here, that's great."

Before Chen Jiashang could speak, Deng Chao hugged Zhang Yang first, saying with a smile, "I can't do it myself, but with the moves Little Brother designed, you'll definitely be able to do them."

His words instantly made Zhang Yang the center of attention, especially from a middle-aged man wearing an orange jacket and a hat, with an ordinary appearance but sharp eyes, who was constantly sizing him up.

Zhang Yang met the man's gaze immediately and began to size him up as well.

This person was the "Little Brother" Deng Chao mentioned.

His real name was Gu Xuanzhao. "Little Brother" was a nickname among acquaintances. He was a famous martial arts and action director and producer from Hong Kong.

He was the last disciple of the renowned martial arts choreographer Yuan Heping. His representative works as an action director included Stephen Chow's Kung Fu, CJ7, Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, and The Mermaid, as well as Lao Mouzi's Shadow.

After a brief exchange of glances, Zhang Yang chuckled, "Chao Ge, I remember you said something different when we had dinner that night."

"You kept saying you were good at action scenes and that finding a stunt double was just an extra option. Now that I'm here, you can't do the moves?"

"Of course I can do them," Deng Chao insisted stubbornly. "I just don't make them look good. You'll definitely fight more beautifully."

But his words were immediately shot down by Chen Jiashang: "Chao, who was it that couldn't get it right after shooting for two hours yesterday afternoon?"

"I wasn't in good shape yesterday," Deng Chao quickly replied. "I'll prove myself this afternoon when we shoot again."

Hearing this, everyone on set wore expressions of disbelief.

As the director, Chen Jiashang represented the welcome to Zhang Yang.

However, since the latter was just a minor supporting character and stunt double, the stars and staff on set didn't show much enthusiasm.

Zhang Yang didn't presumptuously try to get anyone's attention. After finishing his boxed meal in a spot next to Deng Chao, he went to Gu Xuanzhao's side to wait.

"Childhood Skill?" Gu Xuanzhao asked after finishing his meal.

"Yes," Zhang Yang nodded.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't entirely true, but after inheriting some of Zhao Kuangyin's abilities, it was accurate enough.

"Who is your master?" Gu Xuanzhao asked.

"For some special reasons, my master instructed me not to reveal his identity," Zhang Yang said.

Gu Xuanzhao didn't pry further and said, "Come with me, let's spar."

This was half a piece of industry jargon, meaning "let's test your skills."

Zhang Yang had no objections and followed Gu Xuanzhao to an open space.

They threw punches without using full force, and Zhang Yang only used Grand Ancestor's Long Fist.

"You're definitely a trained martial artist, with a very solid foundation. Director Chen chose the right person," Gu Xuanzhao's eyes showed approval, and his expression turned serious. "I'll give you a set of moves I've designed. Regardless of whether Deng Chao succeeds himself, you'll have to perform them then."

Zhang Yang nodded, indicating he understood.

Three minutes later, Gu Xuanzhao arrived beside Chen Jiashang, still looking somewhat surprised.

"How is it, is the person capable?" Chen Jiashang asked.

Gu Xuanzhao's expression changed drastically. He stared at Chen Jiashang for a long time and asked, "Were you doing this on purpose?"

Chen Jiashang: "?"

"Where did you find this monster?"

Chen Jiashang: "??"
