Chapter 1413 - Worse Than Jiang Yu
Chapter 1413: Worse Than Jiang Yu
Her brother was right. She was not just Ah Luo, she was also a Queen.
She had her mission and responsibilities, and some things were above her personal feelings. If it was the Wei Lingnan who had been protecting the little princess Ah Luo in the past, if it was the Wei Lingnan who never disobeyed her orders, and if it was the Wei Lingnan who she could control…
Maybe she would make a small change in the survival of the race and try to stay with him.
But he was not.
Today, he was stronger than her and she had long lost control over him.
Dejected, she and her brother ended the ride.
Shortly after returning to the city, she started shooting <Star Wars Era 2>. She waited for Wei Lingnan on the set. Many people already knew that he would act as the male lead in this show, but there were still a lot of runners and small staff who were surprised. Xia Yingluo heard several people in private asking each other, “Why isn’t it Jiang Yu?”
She was suddenly agitated.
In the temporary dressing room set up outside, Wei Lingnan walked in to see her. “Ah Luo.” He reached out and handed her a cup of warm tea. “Thirsty? Drink some water.”
The tea had a familiar flavor of energy.
She took it, drank slowly, and energy flowed into her limbs slowly, making her feel much more comfortable. This comfortable feeling was so prominent that it made her feel a little weird, and she asked Wei Lingnan, “Where did you get so much energy?” Even if it was a star, the energy that could be collected now was not as much as the capacity of this cup of tea. He had given her a cup not long ago, and another one today.
“Warriors have their own advantages,” Wei Lingnan said without an explanation.
“Where did it come from?” Xia Yingluo stared at him.
“I turned off part of the base’s energy, and Gu Jinxiu also helped collect it,” he said.
Xia Yingluo nodded. She was very clear about how spectacular his base was. If it was closed, it would save most of the energy. But Gu Jinxiu? Although she left the woman to gather energy, she was very skeptical that Gu Jinxiu would be willing to provide this to the World Tree. She asked, “How is Gu Jinxiu?”
Wei Lingnan said, “Obedient. I will keep an eye on her.”
Xia Yingluo looked up at him.
Wei Lingnan: “Ah Luo?”
“Do you see her often?”
“Are you jealous?”
“No.” She turned away angrily and regretted asking such a stupid question.
Beside her, he smiled lowly and pulled her over. “Ah Luo, I only like you.”
She shook her head. How could they still be together? “Wei Lingnan, kill off this wishful thinking. Collecting energy for me is your only use now, and your only way to atone for the Skatana Planet.” Her voice was cold.
Wei Lingnan chuckled again. “Atonement? I don’t need to atone for any sins. If you give me another chance, as long as I can get you, I would rather be the enemy of the whole clan. Ah Luo, what are you going to do with me? When the energy is collected and the World Tree is born, what will happen to me?”
She glanced at him, her beautiful lips tightly shut.
“You want to kill me.” He looked into her eyes. “Ah Luo, your eyes can’t hide your mind. Destroy the bridge after crossing the river? Kill the donkey when the grinding is done? Yes, only then can you ensure the survival of the Skatana tribe and eliminate a threat like me, a traitor.”
“You’ve lived so many extra years. According to the law, you should have died long ago.” Her voice was cold.
“What about you? Ah Luo,” he said and stared at her. “What will you do when I die?”
The dressing room door was suddenly opened, and a staff member walked in. “Ms. Xia, Mr. Wei, the director asked me to see if you two are ready? The filming will begin immediately.”
Xia Yingluo stood up. “Let’s go.”
Wei Lingnan watched as she headed out, his eyes gradually darkening. However, he still said nothing and followed her casually.
There were busy people everywhere on the set, the crew, supporting cast, the prop artists, and everyone was doing their own thing.
The director ordered to start shooting. This scene was the first encounter between the male and female leads on a desolate planet. The few minutes were difficult to shoot due to the complicated terrain and the many lines and positioning. The director had long been instructed by the Li family to make things difficult for Wei Lingnan, so he chose the most difficult way. He let him hang suspended in the air and flying around, using all kinds of fighting to rescue the female lead heroicly.
Unexpectedly, Wei Lingnan was not stumped at all. He filmed the scene very well.
On the contrary, it was the literary play that was stuck.
After all, he was not an actor and was also filming for the first time. He even had to play the leading role.
He had an indifferent murderous aura on his body, and it was difficult to express other emotions. Xia Yingluo tried several times with him, but it was all cut because of him. Far away, behind the camera, a staff member whispered, “I can’t figure out why we should let Wei Lingnan play the leading role. Even if he’s now the focus of the world’s attention, he just can’t act. Do you still remember when Jiang Yu and Xia Yingluo filmed the first episode in one take? But this one? Xia Yingluo is so pitiful. She acts so well but has to repeat with him over and over again.”
They thought Wei Lingnan couldn’t hear the argument here.
But the Skatana people’s ears were far better than ordinary humans, and Wei Lingnan turned around. His cold eyes made the staff suddenly snort. Xia Yingluo, who was next to him, naturally heard those arguments and sneered and said to him, “Why, you were the one who forced me to give you the leading actor, aren’t you very good? You’re worse than Jiang Yu on stage.”
He glanced at her. “I will become better than him.”
“You’re already better than him.” Xia Yingluo sneered. “But different trades, worlds apart. Do you think that you can surpass a famous film actor just by a few hours, a few days, or a few months?”
Wei Lingnan looked tense.
Xia Yingluo did not continue to embarrass him. At this point, there was no use in ridiculing him. “I brought an acting teacher. I’ll let him teach you, and you can practice. We’ll continue later.”
With that said, she went aside to rest.
The director had no opinion on her arrangement. After all, it was Skyart’s own crew. What the young lady said was set.
Xia Yingluo was drinking water on a chair beside him, watching him under the step by step guidance of the acting teacher, trying to figure out the role. She suddenly felt a little hesitant. How long had it been since she saw him so serious? It seemed that ever since he got strong, he no longer had to work hard every day to learn fighting techniques to protect himself. He was always so powerful and carefree, walking in the sea of stars, high above, disregarding everything.
How reminiscent…
She missed everything when they were young and simple.
