Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl-Chapter 254 meet up, poster [2 updates]

Rong Qi was good at everything, except that he liked staying at home too much, never stepping outside the main or side doors, except to stargaze or divine fortunes, not even indulging in personal hobbies.

Rong Jingqiu and Su Yingxia both hoped that Rong Qi would go out more and, ideally, meet a girl to bring home.

If that didn’t work out, they could accept a young man as well.

Although Rong Yu and Rong Qi were brothers, they were complete opposites; Rong Yu loved to run about outside and couldn’t stay at home for a moment.

Now, there was such a great opportunity for Rong Qi to get out and about, and Rong Jingqiu couldn’t wait to pack his bags overnight and send Rong Qi to the production team of "Treasures of The Divine Land."

The Huo Family was worthy of being on the show, so how could they, the Rong Family, not be?

Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by that, Uncle Rong?"

"Rong Yu’s elder brother, which is also the eldest son of your Sister Yingxia and me, Rong Qi," Rong Jingqiu made a decisive statement, "No further discussion, I’ll bring him along, and we’ll meet in six hours."

The call ended.

With her phone in hand, Ye Wanlan pondered for a moment before looking up to ask the director and Producer Liu, "Out of the Five Great Families of Yunjing, why did you specifically choose someone from the Huo family?"

"Ah, that’s because the other families aren’t so easy to invite," Producer Liu sighed deeply at the mention, "Not to mention the Xiang family, Guangxing Media, this entertainment empire company, is just a subsidiary of Xiang’s Group."

As he spoke, he counted on his fingers, "The Lin Family couldn’t be invited either, and the Su Family is solely focused on medicine and wouldn’t participate."

Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "What about the Rong Family then?"

"The Rong Family is even less likely," Liu showed a wry smile, "We don’t even know where the Rong Family is located; we can’t get in touch with anyone. It’s said that the Rong Family is a divination family with a century-long heritage following the Great Purity Sect."

Was this someone they could find just because they wanted to?

"I understand," Ye Wanlan hummed, "You two can rest assured, this show came about because of me, and I won’t let it fail to be recorded."

"Miss Ye, how could this show have come about because of you?" the director was indignant, "This is clearly Huo Ximian looking for trouble. She has been arrogant in other production teams as well. Let’s finish filming the first episode, then we’ll discuss the rest."

Huo Ximian paid a few million in liquidated damages, plus tens of millions in reputational damages, more than enough for the production team to afford a month’s delay.

**

On the other side, in the Yunjing Rong Family’s residence, a fierce struggle was unfolding.

"I don’t want to go," Rong Qi stated emotionlessly.

"You must go!" Rong Jingqiu said with finality.

"I can’t act nor chat," Rong Qi still refused.

"How are you going to practice acting or chatting skills if you don’t go?" Rong Jingqiu didn’t allow any room for opposition, "Enough said, Miss Ye needs people, so you’re going to help. Isn’t that right, wife?"

Su Yingxia crossed her arms and said nothing, just giving Rong Qi a glance.

Rong Qi: "..."

Fine, he surrendered. He would go.

"You have ten minutes to pack," Rong Jingqiu said, "The plane will be here soon. I’m warning you, don’t even think about running away. Don’t forget what your dad does for a living."

Rong Qi again: "..."

Three hours later, the three members of the Rong family arrived in Fengyuan City.

"I haven’t been to Fengyuan in a long time; it’s become much livelier," Su Yingxia liked the small shops on the streets, "Jingqiu, you take Xiao Qi to see Ah Lan first, I’ll wander around by myself."

"Okay," Rong Jingqiu grasped Rong Qi tightly, "Wife, contact me when you’re done shopping, and I’ll come to pick you up."

At that moment, at the hotel.

Rong Yu had just returned from watching a play, sitting in the courtyard fanning himself and enjoying the breeze, utterly content.

Until he felt a familiar chill approaching.

Oh no!

There was a scoundrel!

Rong Yu leapt up and turned around; when he faced the familiar visage, his heart nearly stopped from shock.

"Elder elder elder... elder brother?!" Rong Yu exclaimed in shock, "You you you... why are you here?"

He was very afraid of Rong Jingqiu, and also very afraid of Su Yingxia, but he was most afraid of his elder brother!

Rong Qi had an absolute suppression over him by blood relation.

Not only that, in the art of divination, Rong Qi was exceptionally talented, and by comparison, he was the youngest in rank among the brothers.

Rong Qi glanced at him.

"Elder brother, had you said you were coming, I would have prepared," Rong Yu immediately became ingratiating, "What would you like to eat or drink? I’ll have them make it right now!"

Before Rong Qi could speak, Rong Jingqiu’s voice rang out first.

"Ah Lan, let me introduce, this is my eldest son, Rong Qi. Xiao Qi, call her auntie."

Rong Qi: "..."

At that moment, he wished he were mute.

Seeing Rong Qi at a loss, Rong Yu secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"Hello," Ye Wanlan extended her hand, "Ye Wanlan, please take care of me."

Rong Qi nodded slightly, "Hello, Rong Qi."

"Student Ye, my elder brother hasn’t seen many people," Rong Yu pressed forward, "Simply put, he has social anxiety. Please don’t take it to heart."

Rong Qi’s gaze shot at him like daggers.

But Rong Yu was not at all intimidated.

As long as he clung tightly to Ye Wanlan’s coattails, no one could do anything to him.

All of a sudden, Rong Qi took the initiative to speak, "Brother Yan."

Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed, and she turned to see Yan Tingfeng approaching at a leisurely pace.

He walked as if he were in his own garden, completely at ease.

"Dad, I’ll catch up with Brother Yan," Rong Qi said, relieved to see Yan Tingfeng, hastening his steps a bit.

Yan Tingfeng, however, did not respond to him first but smiled at Ye Wanlan, "Xiao Wan, what do you want to eat tonight?"

That address froze even the usually unemotional Rong Qi in place, let alone Rong Jingqiu.

Rong Jingqiu’s eyes widened in shock, "What did you just call Ah Lan?"

"Anything is fine, I’m not picky," Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "You guys talk, I’ll go get in touch with the director and Producer Liu."

Finally, Rong Qi was able to leave this place of conflict with Yan Tingfeng.

The two of them moved to the rooftop terrace of the hotel.

"Whoosh—"

In an instant, an immense Inner Strength enveloped the area.

No sound from inside could get out, and no one from the outside could get in.

Unless someone had more Inner Strength than a Supreme Martial Arts Master who had lived for over three hundred years.

After doing all this, Yan Tingfeng finally turned around, "Why did you come over?"

For once, Rong Qi showed a hint of plaintiveness, his voice light, "I was brought over by force; my own wishes were completely disregarded."

"It’s good for you to get out more," Yan Tingfeng lifted his eyes slightly, "Who knows how long we will be able to see such beautiful skies in the future."

At that moment, the sun was setting, and the crimson gold of the evening glow filled half the sky, like a white lantern ignited with a red flame.

Rong Qi was silent for a moment before changing his form of address, "Does the Master of Highest Heaven Tower regret not being able to look at it more in the past?"

At this, Yan Tingfeng sighed with a smile, "Yes, indeed."

The entire Rong Family... no, the entire world, only the Supreme Elder of the Rong family and Rong Qi knew Yan Tingfeng’s true identity.

Even Rong Jingqiu wasn’t qualified to know.

It was only because of Rong Qi’s extraordinary talent that he was summoned early by the Supreme Elder of the Rong family to assist Yan Tingfeng.

Three hundred years ago, Rong Shi, the Sect Leader of the Great Purity Sect, and the Master of Highest Heaven Tower were close friends.

Three hundred years later, Rong Qi, a rare talent of the Rong Family, and Yan Tingfeng also became brothers.

Was this not a kind of reincarnation?

After another moment of silence, Rong Qi spoke softly, "The Supreme Elder said that our ancestor was the greatest genius of the Great Purity Sect, and even I cannot match him."

"Yes, Rong Shi was very strong," Yan Tingfeng said calmly, "If it hadn’t been for him, we wouldn’t have been able to successfully build the Heavenly Moat and fend off those people."

Rong Shi, the last Sect Leader of the Great Purity Sect, was also an unprecedented divination genius.

Ning Zhaozong, upon hearing his name, even visited the Great Purity Sect personally to ask Rong Shi to divine the nation’s fortunes.

But even Rong Shi had not a shred of premonition about the battle that almost destroyed the entirety of Shenzhou.

Yet, in such a crisis, at the cost of his life, Rong Shi divined the only chance for survival—

To use the Heavenly Moat to halt the enemy’s advance until three hundred years later.

But now three hundred years had passed, and Yan Tingfeng did not know how to salvage the past.

After all, what’s done cannot be redone; when someone is dead, they are dead.

Rong Qi pondered for a long while, "Master, that Miss Ye..."

"I can’t see through her, but—" Yan Tingfeng’s phoenix eyes curved, "I believe that she represents hope."

The fire of hope can start a prairie blaze.

Shenzhou will surely thrive!

**

6:30 in the evening.

"Old Liu," the director knocked on Producer Liu’s door, "Miss Ye said she found us a guest. Let’s go see if they’re suitable."

Producer Liu opened the door, quite surprised, "What? So quickly?"

In less than a day, Ye Wanlan had found a guest?

What kind of efficiency was that?

"I’m very confident about the people Miss Ye finds," the director said, "Even the assistant of Miss Ye is so capable and keeps a low profile."

Producer Liu wholeheartedly agreed.

With each passing day, the surprises that Ye Wanlan brought to them only grew.

"Let’s go, let’s hurry over," Producer Liu was also curious, "I wonder who Miss Ye has invited for us."

He was already reviewing all the big names in the entertainment industry in his head.

The two hurried to the restaurant private room given by Ye Wanlan.

"Miss Ye," the director entered in high spirits, "Where is the guest you mentioned?"

He looked around, indeed noticing several unfamiliar faces, but which one was it...

Ye Wanlan said, "Right here, it’s—"

Rong Qi stood up, nodded politely, and said softly, "Hello, I am Rong Qi."

The heir to the Rong Family.
