He thought, might as well kill me IRL already.

After finishing the scene, MO Yishan’s costume was completely drenched in sweat.

He sat in a chair, his body still trembling uncontrollably, sweat soaking his back.

“Is it really that exaggerated?” Director Tang Haiqiu lightly teased. “You performed brilliantly just now. I enjoyed it immensely, and I’m sure the audience will find it even more thrilling.”

In “Crossing the Demon Realm,” the greater the oppression the heroine faces early on, the more fierce her retaliation will be later.

Once out of character, MO Yishan joked, “Anyone who really provokes Teacher Si would be in a dire situation.”

He was a celebrated actor, and while his acting couldn’t be described as transcendent, it was indeed masterful.

‘l’nus, ne coulC1 clearly perceive tnat tne murclerous Intent Sl Fuqmg naa previously released was genuine.

Thankfully, it was just for the shoot; otherwise, he feared he might have actually suffered a thousand cuts at her hands.

“Master Wu from the Heaven Earth Alliance told me she’s trained in martial arts; her action scenes are quite impressive,” Director Tang Haiqiu expressed his satisfaction. “This time, the production saved a lot of money.”

The progress was swift, and they saved on a martial arts director, all thanks to Si Fuqing.

In the makeup room, Si Fuqing was taking a break when Sang Yanqing received a call, “Hello, yes, this is Sang Yanqing. Are you saying the results from the Seven Schools Joint Examination are out already?”

Why was it so fast this time?

Sang Yanqing had navigated the entertainment industry for many years, yet he couldn’t help feeling a bit restrained in front of the professor from Great Xia University, “How did she do on the test? Please tell me, don’t worry about scaring me. ”

At most, she would be first again, something she had already grown accustomed to.

“A full score of 750,” Professor Chen quickly reported, his voice filled with disbelief. “In all my years, I’ve never seen such a result!”

Sang Yanqing felt her head spin, her body was shaking, “What?!”

Having graduated years ago and without experiencing the Seven Schools Joint

Examination herself, she knew of its notorious difficulty through industry talk.

Last year, a popular young star had made a big show of participating in the exam and setting up a scholar persona online.

Of course, her actual university entrance exam score had barely crossed five hundred.

What does a 750 mean?!

After ending the call, Sang Yanqing stared at Si Fuqing, lost in thought, “I really think becoming a star was the wrong decision for you…”

The professor had just informed her that Si Fuqing could skip other exams and directly enter Great Xia University.

Si Fuqing glanced at her agent, “I don’t think so. I find rooting out corruption in the entertainment industry quite enjoyable.”

Andprofitable.

“Weren’t you a middle school dropout?” Sang Yanqing was utterly baffled. “When did you study all this? And not just study, but excel to this extent?”

Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, “Learned it in a game.”

Sang Yanqing felt speechless, “… you’re joking again.”

Yuejian let out a sigh.

Outside the Free State, it seemed the truth was hard to believe.

Her mastery of disguise was learned from an advanced NPC in the game

“Eternity.”

Though she hadn’t yet revealed her little junior sister’s account, her little junior sister’s exceptional skills had always come from learning in the game.

“I never realized you were such a brilliant student,” Sang Yanqing remarked.

“Have you decided which university to apply to next year? Art exams are in March, and registration has started. Are you participating?”

“No to the arts exams,” Si Fuqing replied lazily. “I guess I’ll go to Great Xia University.”

Sang Yanqing said pensively, “I thought you participating in art exams would terrify the examiners, but it seems you attending regular exams is equally frightening. Is there anything you can’t do?”

Having Si Fuqingparticipate in art exams would be like bringing a cannon to a duel—a complete mismatch.

“A person should always have a few aces up their sleeve,” Si Fuqing said with a pause and a smile. “If everything is revealed, that’s just foolish.”

Sang Yanqing shuddered at the thought, “Well, I doubt there’s anything else that can shock me now.”

Si Fuqing was tempted to ask if Sang Yanqing could accept that her entire family were evolved beings, with her cousin even possibly growing wings one day.

She thought better of it, deciding not to stress her agent’s heart.

“Then you should get ready,” Sang Yanqing exhaled slowly. “Those professors have already flown here to see you, without even booking a hotel. See what you’ve stirred up? Why didn’t you hold back this time?” Si Fuqing:

She raised her hand, “Can I ask for permission to sneak away?”

“No,” Sang Yanqing pressed her firmly back into the chair. “Besides, you might miss this year’s National Drama Festival, but we’ve received invitations, and you still have to go.”

“And several TV stations want you for their New Year’s Eve shows; I think they’re all quite good. You can choose one yourself. There’s another call coming in, just look at the situation you’ve created.”

“Hold on,” Si Fuqing spoke up. “Book a hotel for the professors, it’s already six o’clock. Order some takeaway too.”

Sang Yanqing nodded and stepped out to take the call.

Si Fuqing sat emotionlessly in front of the makeup mirror, her fists clenched.

“Little junior sister, take it easy,” Yuejian advised, pinching her face gently. “Previously, your senior brothers and sisters shielded you, but this time, you’re on your own.”

“I’m well aware,” Si Fuqing replied with narrowed eyes, “It’s intentional this time.”

Indeed, after the completion of the Seven Schools Joint Examination, she could feel that she was gathering luck at a faster rate.

Perhaps she had found a way to accumulate luck more swiftly.

Besides increasing her fame, she needed to compete on the same stage as Ji Qingwei.

Si Fuqing massaged her shoulders and muttered, “What a hassle.”

Outside the makeup room, Sang Yanqing was on the phone until her hand went numb.

From initial shock, she had become numb to the situation.

After finishing the last call, Professor Chen, who was the first to call, also arrived at the set without delay.

Sang Yanqing promptly went to greet him, “Hello, hello, Professor Chen. Qingqing has just finished filming and is currently removing her makeup. Please wait here for a while; I’m terribly sorry for the inconvenience.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Professor Chen reassured her, waving his hands dismissively. “I can wait. Let her rest a bit longer.”

“Professor Chen, you rushed over so hastily and since it’s late today, you don’t have a place to stay,” Sang Yanqing said. “Si Fuqing has booked hotels for you and the other professors.”

Professor Chen was momentarily surprised. “Oh, very thoughtful, very thoughtful. Please thank her for me.”

He had been concerned that Si Fuqing might pick up some bad habits in the materialistic entertainment industry.

Although there were still stars who strove hard, the overall environment was frenetic and superficial.

Academia was not much cleaner either, and he could only do his best to ensure integrity.

Professor Chen had made up his mind to persuade Si Fuqing to leave the industry as much as possible today.

Sang Yanqing had her assistant prepare tea and snacks for Professor Chen.

After enjoying a piece of snack, Professor Chen found it delicious and helped himself to another.

Other professors had also arrived in quick succession.

“Professor Chen, you’re really quick,” Professor Xu remarked sarcastically.

“With that speed, you really should compete in the staff sports meet.”

Professor Chen snorted coldly, “You’re not slow either. Remember, no dirty tricks, may the best man win.”

Meanwhile, Tang Haiqiu and MO Yishan were walking side by side.

They had just arrived to see a long queue at the resting area, already in the double digits.

Tang Haiqiu was surprised, “Miss Sang, what are these people doing here?

They look quite formidable.”

MO Yishan also stopped to look.

They were mostly older individuals, both men and women, some even red-faced and looking ready to argue.

Surely, Teacher Si hasn’t made some enemies, and these people are here for that, right?

Sang Yanqing gradually came back to her senses and explained, “They are professors from Great Xia University, here to discuss something important with Qingqing. It’s probably because of her perfect score in the Seven Schools Joint Examination. But there are too many people, they’re still queuing up.”

She didn’t dare tell the fans that yet another group was here pleading for their idol to leave the industry..
