Chapter 250 - The First Set

On that night, Su Ci Yi had stayed in a five-star hotel booked by Ling Mo. Also, it seemed that Sang Shui and Jing Sang had their own room to rest and she had been staying with Mai in another room.

That same night also, she didn't dawdle and searched for the sword in the entire City. Jumping through buildings to buildings, sneakily sliding on a fully closed museum, establishments that sell antique treasures and even probe to the homes of famous traditional personalities that had an obsession of collecting ancient trinkets.

Sang Shui also didn't stay inside the hotel as he assisted her in the search.

However, their action was futile. When they came home, it was already in the crack of dawn.

A cultivator's sword shouldn't be so difficult to find, Su Ci Yi should be able to feel its spiritual power from among the item. It's just that her luck isn't working right now, and the location was still unknown.

Su Ci Yi had just came to lie on her bed when the doorbell rang. Lia- Ling Mo's manager stood at the door with her hands on her h.i.p.s and her eyebrows almost reaching to her forehead. 

She had a grumpy and crabby voice as soon as she saw her not yet dressed.

Although Su Ci Yi had agreed on Ling Mo's proposal to be his assistant, she just made it because of the pay. Since she couldn't still find the sword, she ought to find a job that will let her live off and earned an income to spend especially since she had three people to support under her wing.

Lia, when she saw her still idling, clapped her hands in front of her. Su Ci Yi snapped from her idle and jolted from the loud sound.

" Hey! Listen, I just got an intel that you're Ling Mo's personal assistant now? Our artist had a schedule of shooting for today at the Mendeville Subdivision. It's just a few minutes of ride from here. As a PA, should you the one to wake him up and prepare his belongings? What would you do if we came to the set late, huh?"

Hold on! She had just become an assistant! Can't she take a break once in a while?

" Ling Mo hadn't had woken up yet. And the shooting will start at nine. Now wake him up and prepare him."

After saying that, Lia turned her back and return to her own room.

Su Ci Yi who had been snapped open wide, became even more sleepy and thus went back to sleep. 

***

The sun had already shone. The interior of the hotel they were temporarily staying dozed a luxuriant vibe. Now in the light view, Su Ci Yi had been awed with the interior arrangement of the room. Just to be expected from a five-star hotel! Even Mai couldn't believe she had been able to live for a while in this place. It's a good choice she came with her master. 

Su Ci Yi had also woken up after a few hours of sleeping and thus went to the bathroom, The room had been set as bedroom ensuite. It's convenient knowing the bathroom was also a few steps away from her bed. 

With a groggy look, she went to the shower and took a bath.

It didn't take her long enough before her phone rang and she was in the bathroom. Her phone was on the table beneath her bed, so it's inconvenient to go and get it. 

The phone was also given to her by Ling Mo as a temporary communication device seeing that she didn't possess anything at all. Her previous phone was left in Qin Yu's mansion.

Su Ci Yi had to snap her fingers to open the connection to the other party.

''Hello?" Su Ci Yi was the first one to greet.

"HELLO?! What kind of morning greeting is that! Where is our artist now? I've waited here on the set and the shooting is about to start. So where are you now?!"

Who was this so early in the morning? Su Ci Yi thought.

"hey! Are you still in the line?"

Ah!

She remebered Lia, Ling Mo's agent/manager. 

"Yes, I'm still here."

"Where are you right now?" Lia reiterated for the second time.

Su Ci Yi looked into her surroundings and nonchalantly blurted out.

"I'm still at the hotel"

"WHAT?!" There was a loud flare on the other end that Su Ci Yi needed to turn down the volume of her phone. "How about Ling Mo?"

"Hmm... maybe in his hotel room?"

Bang!

The next second, there wasn't anyone at all on the other line.

Su Ci Yi didn't mind it at all and continue to shower. When she came out, she immediately dressed up and knocked on Ling Mo's door. The man had already been dressed and was ready to go. It seemed that her timing was too good this time.

"You're too happy this time? Did you sleep well?"

Ling Mo inquired the moment she entered.

"Yes, it was such a good experience to live in a hotel."

Ling Mo snickered, " Treasure that feeling. That won't last long enough." He turned his back from her and went to his car.

Sure enough, the moment they arrived at the shooting place, there were a lot of malicious stares solely directed to her. Both from the cast and crews of the setting.

Su Ci Yi didn't know anyone at all, therefore, she didn't really care for it. 

Ling Mo saw that she is not affected at all and was amazed how thick skin she is. Not even the gossips and rumors could budge her up. Ling Mo needed this personality.

Seeing she was able to settle down, he proceeded to the dressing room for his makeup and Su Ci Yi was called off by a person with a big belly and sticky smell wearing shades resting under the large unfolded umbrella.

The set was situated outside the villa, at the vibrant scenery garden of the house.

When she came, countless stares looking at her, some were pure irritation, some were jealous, and there were even pitiful stares thrown at her. She didn't think at all about the impending scolding she would receive from the director of the set for the first time.

But later, her attention was focused on the newly arrive person approaching by the gate. With her vision, she could see that it was a middle-age man wearing traditional robe clothing. In his hand was a long double-edged sword wrapped in bandages. The cloth had an absolute concealment effect that it stopped the spiritual energy of the sword from emmiting.

No way! No wonder she couldn't even feel any connection with the weapon at all!

Turned out, its spiritual energy was sealed?!
