Chapter 19: The Fallen Young Genius (1/2)

Qin Jiuyou was about to turn his body when a jolt ran through him, and his head slowly turned around.

The expression on his face resembled that of someone who had just heard his junior sister Liu Zhiyue say she was going to wash her hands of the gold bowl and return home to get married, filled with disbelief!

“Brother Ning, is this true?”

He trembled as he asked, unable to contain his excitement, as if he had seen tens of thousands of spirit stones beckoning to him.

“Didn’t you say that your cultivation method doesn’t need this?”

Ning Wuxie smiled, “Yes, it indeed cannot.”

“I never said I would go into battle with my real self.”

Qin Jiuyou looked a bit confused, “So what do you mean…”

“Just get a body double, do you understand?”

“What you want is just to use me as a gimmick to sell the film, so let others think the main character is me, right?”

“I can make a brief appearance at the beginning, and then after the main film starts, you can switch to someone else, using various angles without showing ‘my’ face…”

Ning Wuxie described, and Qin Jiuyou’s expression gradually changed from confusion to surprise, then to joy, making him brighten up completely.

“Right! Brother Ning, you are truly a prodigy!”

“Who would have thought you had such ideas? It’s a waste not to join our Harmony Sect!”

Ning Wuxie chuckled, taking it as a compliment.

Before crossing into this world, he had been a seasoned otaku on Blue Star, having appreciated quite a few works related to this field.

Never expected that it could also come in handy here; indeed, knowledge was innocent.

Agreeing to Qin Jiuyou’s request not only promised immense wealth but also paved the way for Xuan’er’s cultivation.

Another reason was that it could lower others’ evaluations of him, Ning Wuxie!

A dignified genius was actually going to shoot a film; the contrast was too great!

The martial world would no longer hold excessive awe or fear of him, or even harbor hatred.

Some might even think he defeated Jiang Ren by relying on underhanded methods.

This was just perfect; what he wanted was to survive!

He would not care about others’ opinions of him; this time, it was highly probable that he would be at odds with the Human Sect, which represented the entire righteous path.

Rather than pretending to be a hypocrite, it was better to act like a true villain. As long as Xuan’er stood by his side, that was enough!

“When do we start filming? I’ll notify Sister Yue right away!” Qin Jiuyou said excitedly.

“Not in a hurry. As the director, you should first design what to shoot, then find an actor with a similar build to mine, and afterward, just let me know to shoot a few scenes.”

“Professional!” Qin Jiuyou gave a thumbs up.

“If this project succeeds, I’ll split the profits with Brother Ning fifty-fifty!”

With grand ambitions, Qin Jiuyou left in high spirits.

It seemed he truly loved the filming industry.

Ning Wuxie returned to the room, guarding Xuan’er’s cocoon of light, took some pills, and silently healed his injuries.

The next day, Qin Jiuyou came again, informing Ning Wuxie that everything was arranged, just waiting for the main character to make an appearance!

On the way to the filming location, Qin Jiuyou spoke incessantly.

“After I returned last night, I pondered deeply about how to maximize the hype around your young genius persona.”

“Finally, I reached a conclusion: it’s to use hidden cameras!”

“In everyone’s eyes, you don’t seem like someone who would do such a thing. If you start with a self-introduction, it would seem deliberate, and the audience would doubt the authenticity of the footage.”

“But if it’s a hidden camera! Hehe… that would be exciting.”
