Lia's confidence was as high as the mountain Tai. She knew that the job fit her well. It could even be her stepping stone to enter the entertainment industry since she had been eyeing to become one from childhood. However, there was no opportunity that open on her path at those times, no one extended their hand for her to become a full fledge actress.
In the end, she only ended up being a manager of a famous actor.
This is it.
The opportunity that had been laid in front of her... will she just slip it right through her palm.
"I will do. I will replace her. I graduated in a prestigious acting school in the country and I've been expose to the acting environment; I know that girl's line as well."
Lia prompted, not even ashamed of her boisterous claim.
The director didn't think much about it and turn around.
"Let us try your caliber."
Then he swept a passing glance to the crowd and declared, " Pull out those who have the same height and weight from that person that had just fell. We will conduct a simple audition now."
When Lia heard him, she was disappointed. Although it didn't really matter. She knew the capacity of her acting skills. Can this bunch of amateurs be comparable to her? Of course not.
Therefore, she will prove that her acting skill is way above them.
When everyone heard the announcement, the crowd beam of joy. Soon, women began to line up just behind the director. Filling their names and their background.
Su Ci Yi heard it and didn't bother. Now that the set was focused on the abrupt audition, she had a lot of time on her own.
The sword of Master Tang was still clipped on his waist and the old man was still at the dressing room. Everyone was making a fuss about the audition, and now he is alone. An opportunity like this is somewhat going according to her plan.
Knock Knock.
"May I come in?" Su Ci Yi spoke from the other end of the door.
"Come in." Old Tang was temporarily resting. His personal assistant had gone to the audition set since she have met the requirements in auditioning. He is not strict with his personnel, so long as he can see it could benefit her, then go on.
Su Ci Yi slowly crept her way in. Upon seeing him, her eyes gleamed in glee and excitement.
Yes, and it was directed to the sword on his waist.
As if meeting her long lost fate. From thousand of centuries down to the current event. Under the cherry blossom drizzle, warm and cozy.
She met her fated pair.
The sword vibrated unto the waist of the old man. Sensing the anomaly it had, he cast aside the weapon on the table and returned to his visitor.
"If I may ask, are you the little PA of our main actor right? What made your trip here?"
Old man Tang poured a tea in her cup. He had been eyeing this little thing for quite some time now. In all the people he has met, something stirred inside him telling that this woman differs from the others.
Mysterious.
There was the air visible to her kind that differed from the other person.
" I wanted to talk to Master Tang for sometime now. I admired master Tang's unique abilities and looking forward to meeting you."
Su Ci Yi flattered him. Who would have know that there will be a time that she will pretend to like a person and even flatter her way in?
This is just for the sword.
Master Tang almost laugh at her words. It's too obvious that she was eyeing the sword for quite some time now. The moment she stepped into the door, her eyes gleam upon seeing the thing.
Her vision light up and its her expression that is betraying her.
"Do you know how to hold a sword?"
Master Tang knew if she had an interest in this, she might already know some foundations in holding it. It's just to unbelievable, how could a girl have likings in holding swords.
"I knew some basics, nothing else."
"Then go one. Touch it if this is to your liking."
Su Ci Yi didn't finish what the old man said and dashed like a hungry leopard unto the sword. Pouncing on it, like a hungry lover that had been separated through the gash of a century.
Sure enough, when she touch it, her cultivation core vibrated inside like it was connected on her spiritual energy. The weapon has no doubt will recognize her as her new master; it responds to her spirit call.
Now, she only needed to bind it with her, and it'll become hers.
"Little lady, you seemed to know your posture in holding the sword. Its not awkward, as if you already get used to it."
Su Ci Yi put down the weapon. "I was mesmerized by how beautiful it is."
"Its just a sword lady, no sense in admiring its outward appearance. Its beauty depends on how its wielder will hold it and take care of it."
"Yes, of course, master Tang knows it all."
Su Ci Yi only wanted to see it. But now, the urged to steal it had become intense. She didn't want to be a hooligan and a rascal who lift and steal the sword. Even though she was obsessed with it, she still had her own limitation.
Su Ci Yi bade goodbye to the old man and return. But when she was at the door, the old man's PA rushed to his side, heavily panting.
" Master Tang! Quick! Lia's in danger! The wire she was suspended accidentally caught up in one of the roof beam! '
Master Tang didn't dawdle around and stood up. "All right. After you."
Soon the pair of two people race her up on reaching the audition set.
***
"What happened?"
When Su Ci Yi went to the scenario and immediately saw Jing Sang from afar. He was looking above in an emotionless expression.
Lia was suspended in the air. The wire harness hanging on her waist was caught up with the metal beam of the rooftop.
But what's more evident was the object that holds her body above, entangling her whole self. It was a slick and slender thistle vines that came out of nowhere, creeping on her body and binding her waist.
Suspiciously, Su Ci Yi looked at Jing Sang. Her eyes were full of curiosity.
"Don't look at me like that. Karma strikes the fastest."
