Xu Yi remembered.
"I can play with her at kindergarten tomorrow."
"But, but—"
After pausing for a while, Xiao Xiao finally said under Xu Yi's puzzled gaze, "But she won't play with me. She says I'm mean."
Gu Yueyue glanced at Xiaoxiao. Her Xiaoxiao was especially cute, and no matter how you looked at her, you couldn't see any 'fierce' in her.
Xu Yi understood; Xiao Xiao was a sword spirit who accompanied her in vanquishing demons and monsters.
Hu Youling is also a pure-blooded little demon.
In addition, the two little ones are still young; one is unaware of the fear of the mighty sword energy, and the other is unaware of how to restrain this naturally overflowing sword energy.
Being in a high position, she was not afraid of minor demons.
But Xiao Yao wouldn't think that way. Fortunately, both of her mothers had noble bloodlines, which is why she cried as soon as she saw Xiao Xiao.
"Why don't you stop playing with her?" Xu Yi advised her. Hu Youling looked very well-behaved and pretty, and was just an ordinary little girl whose bloodline hadn't been activated yet. If Xiao Xiao didn't get close to her, she would most likely have a happy and joyful childhood.
She pouted, looking like she was about to cry, "Waaah, but I really like Lingling, I want to play with her!"
"..."
Having no other choice, Xu Yi weakly called out, "Teacher Gu."
Gu Yueyue had no choice but to coax Xiaoxiao and reason with her, telling her that making friends requires mutual consent.
If Lingling doesn't want to be friends with you, Xiaoxiao can't force her to be your friend.
Xiao Xiao only half understood what was being said, but she still couldn't help feeling sad.
When she got home, Xiaoxiao went to the toy room feeling down.
Xu Yi didn't know how to coax her, so she went to the study and flipped through a parenting encyclopedia.
Gu Yueyue herself spent her childhood in fear and nightmares, and now that it's her turn to participate in a child's childhood, she hopes the child can be happy.
So while Xu Yi was reading and studying, Gu Yueyue thought for a moment and then chatted with Xiao Xiao.
"Make friends?"
Xiao Xiao blinked at Gu Yueyue, "If we become friends, will she play with me?"
“Yes, good friends always play together.” Gu Yueyue gave her an example, “Your Aunt Xiaoye is our friend, don’t you see she often comes to our house to play?”
Xiao Xiao frowned and thought for a while, "But Aunt Xiao Ye said that she only has work, no love, only interests, and no friends."
"..."
Gu Yueyue secretly made a note of it for Xiao Ye, and then gave her an example of the relationship between Yin Yu and herself.
"Do you understand this kind of friendship?"
Gu Yueyue explained it very clearly, and Xiaoxiao understood it very quickly.
"Then what should I do?"
"To be a friend, you should care for her, respect her, and never offend her. Have you shared the cookies and fruit that Mom prepares for you every day with the other children?"
"have."
"Did you give it to Lingling?"
"She doesn't want it." Xiao Xiao felt frustrated.
Gu Yueyue and Xiaoxiao chatted for a while before Xu Yi finally pushed open the door and came in. "Teacher Gu, I understand. I've come to talk to Xiaoxiao."
Gu Yueyue intended to sit in on the conversation, but Xu Yi clearly didn't want her to hear the rest of the story.
"Okay. You guys chat, I'll go prepare dinner."
After Gu Yueyue left, Xu Yi began to tell Xiao Xiao about Hu Youling's identity.
"Her fear of you is innate, unless you both become strong enough to resist this instinct to control you."
"Either you awaken her bloodline and let her know that her bloodline is noble, so she won't be afraid of you. Or you work hard to become stronger and control all your sword energy, even the surrounding air stirred up by the sword energy must be under your control. If she can't feel the murderous intent of the Demonic Sword, she won't be afraid of you."
Xu Yi spoke so seriously that Xiao Xiao was completely stunned.
"Do you understand?" Xu Yi asked her.
Xiao Xiao nodded absentmindedly, "Ming, do you understand now?"
"Alright! Don't bother her anymore, let her have a happy childhood. When you all grow up, your situation will improve, her bloodline will gradually awaken, and then you can play together."
"Then, how long will it take?"
"About ten years. At most twenty years."
With Xu Yi's assurance, Xiao Xiao began counting down the days in her heart.
Twenty years is but a fleeting moment for a celestial divine sword that has been lonely for tens of thousands of years.
After resolving the minor issue, Gu Yueyue chatted with her about work during the meal.
"Ma Youcai's movie has been confirmed, and the role has been finalized. Come with me tomorrow to sign the contract. Have Xiao Ye reduce your workload recently."
"Hmm." Xu Yi added some more food for her. "What role do I play?"
Gu Yueyue told her that she was still playing the same role as the senior disciple of the righteous immortal sect. Although this role had very few scenes and mostly existed in other people's conversations, she became the white moonlight in the eyes of the junior sister and many viewers because of Xu Yi's stunning appearance.
That's why Ma Youcai and his team wanted to remake this into a movie.
"The main character has been changed?"
"Yes, the junior sister that Chu Man'er played before is no longer the main character. Because of her influence, the show almost couldn't be broadcast. Although they replaced her and reshot the scenes, the effect wasn't good. The online vote chose the senior sister and the leader, and Ma Youcai wanted to change it directly."
Xu Yi chuckled, recalling what happened back then. She didn't know Gu Yueyue then; she only went there to earn some tuition fees.
In a way, this is a blessing in disguise. Who would have thought that the trouble Chu Man'er caused would lead to the current situation?

Chapter 122
When filming began, Ma Youcai had masks delivered to Xu Yi and Gu Yueyue.
"The masks have been modified. This time they're not made to cover your faces, but rather to highlight your unique characteristics. Try them on and let me see."
Gu Yueyue actually missed the previous mask; the new one felt somewhat sinister and made people feel uneasy.
Ma Youcai looked at them after they put on their masks, stroked his chin, and showed his appreciation.
"Not bad, not bad at all."
Gu Yueyue awkwardly took off the mask, pulled Ma Youcai aside, and said to him, "Doesn't this mask fit the character a bit?"
Gu Yueyue looked at the mask in her hand, hesitant to look directly at it, and the patterns on it seemed familiar to her.
Ma Youcai smiled as he took the mask and touched it. "I had it meticulously crafted. Besides... you'll understand once you read the rest of the script."
"The next one?" Gu Yueyue asked, and Ma Youcai took out a new script.
But that's not the script for this movie.
"You're planning to make a sequel?" Gu Yueyue asked, somewhat surprised. "Is there some kind of plot twist?"
"Of course. You'll see when you read on." Gu Yueyue took a break to look through the script. After reading it, she suddenly realized that the first part was a setup. Her character was both righteous and evil. In the first part, she dressed up as a bad person to do good deeds, and in the second part, she dressed up as a good person to do bad things.
In contrast, Xu Yi's role is much simpler; she is a truly ethereal fairy.
All the other roles had already been cast, which was somewhat surprising, but Han Muzhou actually made a cameo appearance.
Ma Youcai grinned from ear to ear, pulling Gu Yueyue aside and saying that Han Muzhou was someone she had gone to great lengths to invite. He and Director Yuan from the industry were alumni, but they weren't in the same year.
"Speaking of which, I'm her senior. Han Muzhou hasn't been doing well lately; she can't keep up with filming over there, so I wanted her to come here to change her mindset and find her footing."
Gu Yueyue looked at the person seriously acting with Xu Yi and smiled helplessly. Xu Yi couldn't keep up with Han Muzhou's pace. It wasn't that Han Muzhou was deliberately making things difficult for her, but rather that Han Muzhou was playing a villain. She portrayed the character perfectly from the moment she appeared. Xu Yi couldn't sense any evil aura from her, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a complete villain standing in front of her.
The various senses of incongruity overwhelmed Xu Yi.
Of course, in the eyes of others, this means that the junior has been overwhelmed by the senior.
During the break, Gu Yueyue took Xu Yi aside and analyzed the script with her.
Han Muzhou watched the two figures leave, feeling somewhat helpless. He then took his lunchbox and sat down to eat quietly.
There are many people in the film crew, and when three or five people get together, there are many things to talk about.
Han Muzhou found a secluded spot, a place where few people would notice him.
Next to me were three little girls squatting together eating and chatting.
They mostly talked about things between Xu Yi and Gu Yueyue.
But the conversation took a turn for the worse.
"I heard that Han Muzhou likes Xu Yi, so I followed him here."
"No, I heard that Xu Yi wanted to act with Han Muzhou, but Jiang Rujin snatched the role. Jiang Rujin got all three roles, and I also heard that Jiang Rujin and Han Muzhou are together."
"Nonsense. Our Zhouzhou is still young, she doesn't date."
"Haven't you heard that Jiang Rujin and President Lu are together?"
“You’re talking nonsense. I have even bigger gossip. My second uncle’s cousin’s eldest niece and Gu Yueyue’s daughter are in the same kindergarten. I heard that Gu Yueyue brought Xu Yi with her to pick up her daughter from school and introduced Xu Yi to others as her girlfriend.”
"Holy crap. Really?"
"It's definitely fake, it's way too ridiculous. Are you too obsessed with shipping this couple? Gu Yueyue is obviously straight, her ideal type has always been a man like Zhao Yuan. If she likes Xu Yi, I'll give you all my chicken legs from now on."
"Okay, I'll bet with you."
Han Muzhou glanced at the chicken leg in her lunchbox, turned around, and said, "I'll bet too."
The three people who were squatting in the shade suddenly heard a familiar voice behind them. They all turned around and were so frightened that they almost fell to the ground.
