This Is the Second Unfortunate Thing I've Heard Today
"Me, like Feng Qingyang? Why should I be like someone who possesses unparalleled martial arts skills but retires into seclusion? I don't want to be like that kind of person. I think I should be like Ren Woxing!"
In Wen Yishan's eyes, Chang Kongluo is one image, while Chang Kongluo feels that he is another image.
He disliked reclusive sages like Feng Qingyang.
For Chang Kongluo, possessing top-tier martial arts skills yet preferring to live a secluded life for health is simply a waste.
Consequently, he disliked people like Feng Qingyang.
Chang Kongluo felt that his role was to roam freely.
Although he won't act in a TV series, that doesn't hinder his self-identity.
"But you're nothing like Ren Woxing," Wen Yishan said. "If someone with your temperament could play Ren Woxing, this kind of drama couldn't be filmed. Everyone would think that the Sun Moon Sect was the righteous sect, and the Five Mountains Alliance was an outright heretical cult, and the whole drama would fall apart!"
"Is it really that outrageous?" Chang Kongluo asked in surprise, "Do I really have none of Ren Woxing's temperament?"
"No, there isn't!"
"This is the second most unfortunate thing I've heard today!"
A sigh fell from the sky.
However, he did not stop Zhu Haishan and Wen Yishan from visiting Zhang Xuezhou, since he was only a guest there, and their visit to Zhang Xuezhou was for serious business.
He failed to accomplish his task, but he couldn't prevent others from doing it.
If he relies on his power or strength to act recklessly, he might just be caught red-handed by Chang Kong Yinghao and Chang Kong Yinglian.
Not to mention the small bomb inside his body, he was also given the treatment of being sent back to his old mansion by electric shock.
Chang Kongluo was very amiable at this moment, so amiable that Zhu Haishan felt like a stranger.
What was the first unfortunate thing you heard today?
Zhu Haishan accompanied Chang Kongluo and directly sent Wen Yishan to find Zhang Xuezhou.
Compared to Zhang Xuezhou, whom he had never met and did not know, Chang Kongluo was clearly the main character in this villa.
Zhu Haishan wanted to leave and go home as soon as possible, but he had to force a smile.
He blurted out some questions to pass the time.
This statement was undeniably extremely awkward, even bordering on probing. Zhu Haishan almost wanted to slap himself after blurting it out.
But today, Chang Kongluo was extremely gentle, and even had a smile on his face.
"The most unfortunate thing to say is, 'Look at me carefully, see if I'm focused when I write!'" Chang Kongluo sighed.
Zhang Xuezhou entered a phase of focused writing without any distractions.
If the first interruption was abrupt and unexpected, the second interruption is almost certainly intentional.
It was easy for him to get Zhang Xuezhou to stop, but it was difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to give him a normal explanation of Mental Strengthening.
Under constant surveillance, he is also unable to use violence, threats, or coercion.
Having stripped away the advantages brought by his status and strength, Chang Kongluo currently has few ways to get Zhang Xuezhou to cooperate.
Even if he was extremely anxious, Chang Kongluo could only wait.
Fortunately, some stubborn people still came knocking on his door.
Chang Kongluo felt he could be grateful to anyone who could interrupt Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou's current state and allow him to have a normal conversation.
He didn't get to be out for long; he had to go back when his time was up.
The consequences of breaking the rules are either that he never leaves the Old Age Mansion again, or that he can reverse the situation in Western Capital and change the rules himself; otherwise, Chang Kongluo has no choice but to abide by the rules.
Chang Kongluo knew very well that not only did he have electronic devices on him, but countless eyes and ears were also watching him, waiting to see what he would do after leaving the Twilight Mansion.
For example, who they contacted, what secret codes they used to communicate, or what they were plotting.
It's fair to say that the possibility of Chang Kong achieving great things after his emergence is almost entirely blocked.
He can only do very limited things, such as taking walks, buying things, seeing relatives and friends, or reading books and newspapers.
But for Chang Kongluo at the moment, his most important task was to ask Zhang Xuezhou to speak up, so that he wouldn't have to beg that stingy Luo Tianming.
After all, if Luo Tianming can get out, he can also get out of the Old Age Mansion. Why should he have to pay 40 million just to look at Luo Tianming's contents?
Chang Kongluo didn't care much about money, but he couldn't swallow this insult.
Rather than giving 40 million to Luo Tianming, he would rather give it to Zhang Xuezhou.
The only problem was that Zhang Xuezhou didn't want to talk to him.
"Focus?"
Zhu Haishan, who struck up a conversation with him, clearly didn't understand the situation and had no idea what Chang Kongluo was talking about.
This was not only a meaningless chat, but also a chat that made Chang Kongluo lose his spirits; even using it to kill time felt like a waste of time.
His mind wandered, mostly as he eavesdropped on the sounds coming from the Zhang Household family's study.
"Please wait outside for a moment, I'll be right there!"
Wen Yishan's visit only resulted in one sentence.
Zhang Xuezhou's focus remains unwavering.
This greatly disappointed Chang Kongluo.
The only thing that left a lingering thought in Chang Kongluo's heart was Zhang Xuezhou's last sentence.
He considered the normal writing time for everyone and thought he could wait a bit. If he waited, the other person might finish 'focusing' on their work, which would still leave room for communication.
"Young Master Zhang is actually making props for a martial arts manual! He's really putting in so much effort for his role, waaaaah!"
Wen Yishan's eccentric remarks were more interesting than Zhu Haishan's.
Looking at the other person's tuberculosis-like appearance, Chang Kongluo felt that just one sentence from the top floor had almost exhausted the people below to death.
"It's good for you to take a break. I have some nutritional supplements here; I can give you one to perk you up!"
He waited, and also felt pity for Wen Yishan, so he shared one of his high-end health-preserving medicines with Wen Yishan.
"Thank you for your generosity. You truly have the demeanor of a chivalrous hero. Why don't you consider making a cameo appearance in our production? Feng Qingyang's screen time is only a few minutes; playing the role won't take up much of your time," Wen Yishan advised. "Our production team not only provides meals but also daily or even hourly wages, ensuring you won't be at a disadvantage!"
"I don't want to play Feng Qingyang, I want to be free as I please!"
"That's impossible to act, not even with special effects makeup!"
"Your answer is very disappointing, after all, I really like the character Ren Woxing!"
"I like it very much too, but it's so hard to find someone who fits this kind of role. You have no idea how many people I've met these past few days, and not a single one of them can play this kind of villain well!"
"Is this Ren Woxing really that outrageous?"
"High martial arts skills, ruthless methods, deep scheming, arrogant, domineering, and ambitious—this is the hallmark of a brutal and ruthless hero. It's truly difficult to fit his description!"
"If you put it that way, I do seem a bit out of character!"
After talking for only a short while, Chang Kongluo began to give up on the idea of Ren Woxing.
He and Ren Woxing were similar in that they were both imprisoned and both hoped to get out and take power.
Chang Kongluo felt that he lacked traits such as arrogance, ambition, and cruelty; these negative qualities were indeed not his.
But Chang Kongluo couldn't help but think of candidates who fit this category.
As long as one can effectively imitate the other person, Ren Woxing's image can almost be vividly portrayed.
