Chapter 251 - The Rebuttal

Su Ci Yi had heard a lot of reprimands on her first day on the set. Ling Mo's drama is a historical romance-themed about a time-traveling man. The main character of this series is a narcissistic and proud son of a high ranking executive. Later, when he found a secret tunnel on his vacation, he accidentally slipped off on it and fell down on the long dark abyss. There, the journey of him and his female lead started to bud off.

It was such a beautiful romance and there was harmony on the set, except for Su Ci Yi that always had been the center of rebuke. But none of it matters since she had spotted the sword.

The spiritual sword belongs to a middle-aged man. The man had a thick bush of black beard on his mouth and he had a wavy raven-colored hair.

His sword had been stuck in his hand for a while that she had no way to examine it thoroughly.

What is his hand? Was it glued to the sword that he couldn't able to put it down once in a while? Was it stuck on the sword? Hey, put it down for once, okay? 

Su Ci Yi had thrown myriads of dagger stares at him, but still, she was left unnoticeable. She had been glaring at him for the entire time, yet he didn't glance at her for once.

" What are you doing! The director has announced for a break, why are you still standing? Go and prepare a towel and water for Ling Mo to drink." Lia didn't just shout at her, but even urge her from her seat and push her away.

Tsk!

Su Ci Yi tempered herself, if not for the pay and the sword, she wouldn't accept this kind of job.

Anyway, since she was being paid handsomely, she ought to do her job well.

Therefore, she only grumbled to herself, swallowed her pride, and handed Ling Mo a pair of towels and bottled water.

Then again, the shooting is reset.

"Master!"

"Yi..."

Su Ci Yi had been idling on the set, with nothing much to do. Ling Mo was already working for the next scene and she just needed to wait for him to finish and help him prepare.

In those times, Lia had tried to approach her and urge to help with the chores in the kitchen but Su Ci Yi didn't do her biddings and thus only focused on Ling Mo's needs.

As if she didn't know what she wanted to do... This woman's trail of hates had already been discovered by Su Ci Yi. She was very familiar with this kind of hatred/ jealousy and human pettiness.

When all of a sudden, she saw three familiar faces.

"I have found the sword!"

She immediately informed them about the situation.

"Where is it?"

Su Ci Yi pointed to the old man sitting on the sideline while other crews are making a fuss of him. Taking selfies and photos non stop. 

"So the problem is we couldn't approach him?" Sang Shui tried to analyze the situation.

"Also the sword is stuck to him. It stuck on his waist with no intention of unsheathing it."

"Have you tried talking to him?"

Of course, Su Ci Yi did. But when she tried, that Lia was a troublemaker and always pulled her out from the conversation. Even the other cast were too envious for her to let her talk to him. To cut the story short, they looked down on her.

Jing Sang snorted, " I thought you were too reckless, so why are we idling now? We can just snatch the sword from him, what's the big deal on it?"

Pak!

Sang Shui raised a hand and smacked the back of Jing Sang's head. " Tone down your voice, we are not in our territory. If we have to take it by force, we might end up in prison. " This place had strict rules in norms. Even last night, when they did nothing wrong, they were still led to the police station.

Mai almost laugh when she saw him getting smacked, " Jing Sang, don't you know the famous saying 'When in Rome, do what the roman's do'?"

" What does that have something to do with us? We are not Romans!" Jing Sang was angry, but seeing Mai adding fire on his fury, he glared at her.

Haist.

Su Ci Yi sigh. Their group was so noisy that they almost took the interest of the public.

"I'll take an opportunity to talk to him. Don't worry. We will return to your village immediately."

"PA of Ling Mo! Where are you?!"

The blood-curling shrill of Lia came to her ears. Su Ci Yi couldn't use to it that it always made her jolted.

"Why are you here? Hah! I'll report you to Ling Mo! Instead of doing your job, you leisurely chatted with an unknown group! We are still in the set, so do your job accordingly!"

The woman, because she saw the other party's companion, even became daring and pointed fingers on Su Ci Yi's head. Then she grabbed her violently out of the group and dragged her, intending to give her lessons into a secluded area.

This woman! She had just came, and now became Ling Mo's personal assistant? If it would be her, she will not hire a dumb person like this one.

What Su Ci Yi didn't like was when she was touched at the back or when someone touches her without respect. She did all the work that she should be doing! This woman's action had already been below her belt and is too much for her to take!

"Stop."

Su Ci Yi wasn't able to snatch her hand away, because Sang Shui already grabbed the woman's hand violently.

Then he tightly squeezes her arm until it looked red, like a tomato.

"Ouch! It hurts." Being grab tightly, it hurts so much. Lia complained.

" How so, Yiyi didn't complain when you did it to her, but you shouted when I grip with only a small amount of force?" 

"It hurts, so what of it? Who are you anyway?"

Sang Shui smile. But when he smiles, it seemed that the blooming flowers around the area were not as beautiful as they are. Rather, it looked like a cold wind passed by, chilling Lia in her spot,

"Lady, please be mindful of your manners in front of this person. You might not know what might happen when you least expected it to be?"

"A-are you threatening me?''

"I am not, this is just a friendly reminder." Sang Shui darkly replied.

"She's irritating." Jing Sang complained and smack her on the head with his fist. The force isn't that strong, yet Lia fell on her back. Seeing her land flatly on the ground, Jing Sang felt satisfied, "That will do. Now you're as silent as a dead."

Su Ci Yi gasp in total astonishment!

Lia fainted with Jing Sang's fist!
