Chapter 256: 256 Face-Slapping Scene, Yunjing’s Five Great Geniuses! [2 more]

"Treasures of The Divine Land" filming location.

The costume department had already prepared clothes for Rong Qi, a set of vintage-style long robes, coupled with a jade crown to tie back his hair. A charming young gentleman emerged.

"Excellent!" the director’s eyes lit up. "This angle is very good. Mr. Rong, please relax, your condition is very good, you outshine many young idols in the entertainment industry."

Rong Qi: "..."

He sat up straight with an expressionless face, but was actually feeling somewhat anxious inside.

The director sat down, about to instruct the photographer to continue shooting when a commotion suddenly came from outside the door.

"Miss Huo, they are currently taking promotional photos inside. Please don’t—"

"Out of the way!"

"Miss Huo, you can’t go in... Miss Huo!"

The staff member at the door couldn’t stop Huo Ximian, and could only watch helplessly as she barged in.

Rong Qi looked up, his brows furrowed.

He disliked people who acted rashly and blindly.

Huo Ximian looked at Rong Qi with scorn, pointing at him and saying to the director, "Is this the person you brought in to replace me? Which company’s trainee is he?"

He may be good-looking, but what about his capabilities?

Is he worthy of being on "Treasures of The Divine Land"?

The director was furious and abruptly rose from his seat.

But before he could speak, Rong Qi had already stood up.

Already nearly one hundred and ninety centimeters tall, his imposing presence was intensified with the heels he wore.

Rong Qi didn’t look at Huo Ximian, and coldly uttered a single word, "Leave."

Huo Ximian had never been treated this way and was about to erupt in anger, but was quickly taken hold of by the hurriedly arriving Huo Hong.

"We’ll leave right away!" Huo Hong bowed and scraped, devoid of the lofty demeanor he had shown earlier at the hospital, "I am truly sorry. My daughter is ignorant. I will discipline her when we get back!"

However, Rong Qi didn’t even lift his eyes, his entire being radiating an intimidating chill.

Huo Hong shuddered and quickly forced Huo Ximian to leave the set of the photo shoot.

Back at the monitor, the director held his chest and let out a relieved breath.

One word from Rong Qi had scared off the Huo family. That was true presence!

Rong Qi sat back down and spoke indifferently, "Continue. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can move on to the next part."

"Mr. Rong, I’m really sorry about this incident," the director apologized. "I assure you, it will absolutely not happen again."

"Mmhmm," Rong Qi nodded slightly, "It won’t, begin."

Outside.

Huo Hong pulled Huo Ximian to a secluded grove and finally stopped.

"Dad? Dad!" Huo Ximian struggled to free herself from Huo Hong’s grip, furious, "What were you saying just now?"

"Slap!"

For the first time, Huo Hong slapped Huo Ximian, suppressing his anger, "Do you even know who he is, to speak to him like that?"

Huo Ximian, covering her face, couldn’t believe it, "Dad, you actually hit me? Could that man be your illegitimate child?"

Huo Hong had always doted on her, which had long since fostered her unruly character.

"Foolish. If I hadn’t dragged you away quickly, do you realize you’d be dead without a place to be buried?" Huo Hong reproached her with vehemence. "He is Rong Qi, from the Rong Family! Weigh well the significance of that surname!"

Huo Ximian didn’t know that at that moment, Huo Hong’s back was covered in cold sweat, soaking through his clothing.

He feared that had he been a moment later, Huo Ximian’s actions might have brought calamity upon their entire faction.

"What’s the big deal with the surname Rong?" Huo Ximian grew even angrier. "I don’t know anyone named Rong. Besides, there’s a Rong who’s pursuing me."

"I don’t know about others named Rong, but Rong Qi is the heir to the Rong Family." Huo Hong took a deep breath, emphasizing each word, "He’s alongside Xiang Shaoyu of the Xiang Family, Su Ningxiang of the Su Family, Lin Shiyuan of the Lin Family, and Huo Yunyi of the Huo Family. Don’t you even know that?!"

Huo Ximian was stunned, forgetting the pain on her face, "...Rong Qi?"

The Five Great Families of Yunjing have been passed down from ancient times three hundred years ago.

It wasn’t clear whether it was coincidental or not, but this generation of the Five Great Families each had an exceptionally talented and astonishing genius, just like during the Ning Dynasty three hundred years before.

Even if one hadn’t met these five individuals while in the Capital Circle, it was impossible not to have heard their names.

The heirs of the Five Great Families!

They were the five individuals in Yunjing that nobody dared to provoke!

Apart from their own formidable strengths, all of the resources of their families were devoted to them.

Moreover, these heirs held exceedingly high authority within their respective families.

Although they had not yet assumed the position of family head, they wield certain powers that even surpassed those of the current heads.

Three years ago, Huo Hong had the fortune to see Rong Qi once in Yunjing.

Just a single distant glimpse had left him in enduring awe ever since.

Huo Ximian’s complexion turned deathly pale in an instant, "Dad, I... what I said to him just now... "

By speaking to Rong Qi in such a manner, had she not made herself a direct enemy of the Rong Family?

At this thought, Huo Ximian felt the world spin before her eyes.

"Forget about ’Treasures of The Divine Land,’ don’t even think about that show anymore." Huo Hong shook his head, his tone softening, "I didn’t expect the Rong Family to set their sights on the program. Mianmian, just give it up."

In terms of martial strength, the Rong Family might not be the strongest.

But holding the inheritance of the Great Purity Pulse, even the Xiang Family would need the Elders Council or the Family Head themselves to personally ask for the Rong Family’s help in foreseeing fortunes and disasters.

How could they, merely a branch of the Huo Family, dare to contend with the Young Family Head of the Rong Family?

Huo Ximian’s complexion was still pale as she turned around to leave, looking disheveled and distressed.

"Student Ye, take a look at my big brother’s unretouched fixed makeup photo, isn’t he more handsome than that male top star in the same group?" Rong Yu bragged, "I told you, if my brother entered the entertainment industry, what’s there for other male celebrities to do?"

Ye Wanlan nodded her head: "It is indeed a very nice picture."

Hearing this, Yan Tingfeng’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he gently lifted his lashes to glance at Rong Qi.

Having known Yan Tingfeng for many years and aware of his true identity, Rong Qi knew what he was thinking.

He pointed at Huo Yungui, skillfully changing the subject: "What’s he doing here?"

"I’m here to see the pretty sister!" Huo Yungui said, biting a chicken leg, "waiting for the pretty sister to agree to come back with me to the Huo Family."

"Go back to the Huo Family?" Rong Yu rolled his eyes, "Your Huo Family’s Huo Ximian almost killed our Student Ye, how do you explain that?"

Huo Yungui stopped in his tracks, falling silent for a few seconds, he raised his hand and asked: "Who is Huo Ximian?"

"..."

"See, I told you, this kid definitely wouldn’t know her," Rong Yu shrugged, "If you ask me about any Rong Family Member beyond my brother and a few younger siblings, I also wouldn’t recognize them."

Ye Wanlan’s smile was faint: "Not significant, an irrelevant person."

Once she had set her goal, no one could ruin it.

Not even a god.

After finishing the meal, Huo Yungui didn’t leave the dining table but instead took out a notebook and began writing and drawing with a pen.

Rong Yu leaned over: "What are you doing?"

"I’m doing problems." Huo Yungui frowned, "The questions from Shenzhou University are just too difficult."

"Oh, that’s perfect. Your pretty sister is also going to participate in Shenzhou University’s assessment," Rong Yu mentioned casually, "She was the city’s top scorer in the recent Jiangcheng joint city exam, a true academic prodigy."

Huo Yungui’s eyes lit up, and he dashed to Ye Wanlan’s room door: "Pretty sister, I have some questions to ask you."

With a "creak," the door opened.

However, the person who came out was not Ye Wanlan, but Yan Tingfeng.

Huo Yungui was very disappointed: "Why is it you? I’m looking for the pretty sister to tutor me."

"No." Yan Tingfeng rejected, "She’s not available."

"Just for a little while!" Huo Yungui was insistent, "I’m really smart."

Yan Tingfeng smiled but still refused: "No."

Huo Yungui clenched his fists in anger: "I want to compete with you, whoever wins can spend time alone with the pretty sister, and you can’t stop me!"

Bing He: "..."

Tie Ma: "..."

Why on earth do some people insist on going to Yama Hall to court death!

Competing with the Young Master?

Have they lost their minds?

On hearing this, Yan Tingfeng blinked slowly, methodically rolled up his sleeves, and his lips curled into a smile: "Alright."

A minute later, Huo Yungui was lying on the ground, his nose bruised and his face swollen, bawling: "Why did you hit my face, hit my butt instead, not my face please!"

Yan Tingfeng tossed a bottle of medicine to Bing He: "For him, it’s to treat the face."

Having said this, he re-entered the room and closed the door behind him.

Bing He held the bottle of medicine: "Why did the Young Master give him medicine? How kind-hearted?"

Tie Ma expressionlessly: "Definitely because he’s afraid this kid will go whining to Miss Ye, acting pitiful."

Bing He suddenly realized: "Right!"

The likes of him, Miss Ye had enough with just their Young Master.

Online, the popularity of ’Treasures of The Divine Land’ was still skyrocketing.

Aside from genuine viewers, there were also paid posters arranged by Guangxing Media, muddying the waters and whitewashing for Huo Ximian.

[Honestly, without Huo Ximian, what’s the point of ’Treasures of The Divine Land’? What about the Divine Strategy Spear Technique?]

[Indeed, to be fair, there’s no one more suitable than Huo Ximian to participate in the show.]

[Even if they select new guests now, in all aspects, they can’t compare to Huo Ximian, right?]

[I advise the production team to consider the ratings and bring Huo Ximian back.]

At 8 pm, the official account of ’Treasures of The Divine Land’ quietly released a photo.

[@Treasures of The Divine Land OfficialV: Master of Great Purity, who knows both heavenly fate and human heart! We are honored to invite Mr. Rong Qi, the inheritor of the Great Purity Pulse, to join our permanent guest group and unveil the mysteries of the Great Purity Pulse for us!]
