Chapter 1687 1687: Celestial Music
Just as Ling Zhenfei was feeling anxious, suddenly he heard the cry of the Lightning Bird above his head. The sound was sharp and not pleasant, but to Ling Zhenfei's ears, it was as if it were celestial music.
Ling Zhenfei knew that the Lightning Bird was powerful now. He reached out his hand and surprisingly grabbed onto the Lightning Bird's claws. The Lightning Bird spread its large wings and flew with Ling Zhenfei toward the riverbank.
By the time Ling Zhenfei realized what was happening, he had already reached the other side of the river.
Back on solid ground, Ling Zhenfei finally sighed with relief. The creatures in the river had grown very formidable, and he'd been too careless today.
If not for the Lightning Bird today, it would have taken much longer to reach the other side of the river.
The Lightning Bird is truly impressive. After escorting Ling Zhenfei across, it flew back to the other side of the river.
The creatures underwater were utterly helpless against the Lightning Bird's speed.
With just a slight flap of its wings, the Lightning Bird flew very far and soon reached the distant mountaintop, utterly free.
Ling Zhenfei was quite pleased, knowing his Lightning Bird had grown up, and turned to leave the Peach Blossom Secret Realm.
Back in reality, Ling Zhenfei first changed his clothes, as the ones he'd been wearing were soaked from falling into the water during the fight.
Ling Zhenfei took a bath, cleaning himself from head to toe.
Once everything was settled, Ling Zhenfei checked the time—it was just past six in the morning, still fairly early.
However, sleeping was out of the question, so Ling Zhenfei opened his computer to go online.
With only a few days left until the Xi Shan Fan Festival, there was plenty of discussion about it online in the evening.
Despite Lin Yi and the others coming up with various strategies, issues like scalping of participation qualifications were unavoidable.
Tickets for the Xi Shan Fan Festival were being traded online for over ten thousand yuan, but it was a case of high prices with no market.
Ling Zhenfei's Weibo had become the main battlefield for fans since most other platforms had finished drawing qualifications, leaving only some spots available through Ling Zhenfei's.
Ling Zhenfei felt it was time to draw the spots, so he posted a Weibo message.
"Xi Shan Fan Festival, final fifty spots. Confirm you can attend and leave a comment below. Tonight, fifty spots will be drawn."
Ling Zhenfei didn't post on Weibo often, and when he did, it was usually advertisements for restaurant openings or hospital inaugurations.
But this was the first time he posted about a lottery.
Shortly after posting, the comments section started filling up rapidly.
"Hubby, hubby, I love you!"
"Feifei hubby, choose me, choose me, I want to see you."
"I want to have your babies."
Some Weibo accounts could send up to a hundred similar comments at once, with the more comments left, the higher the chance of winning.
"What's the real price? Can you really eat one hundred yuan's worth of food for just ten yuan? I find it hard to believe."
"I already have a ticket but want to win one to take my girlfriend and propose to her."
"I wonder if it's possible to book a room at the Xi Shan Resort Villa now and stay until the festival starts."
"I refuse to believe I can't get in. It's all part of the same Xianling Mountain. Just follow Xianling Mountain to reach Xishan Manor, and the Xi Shan Fan Festival venue is right next door."
"Maybe I won't win, but I'm looking forward to the day anyway. If I can't go, watching Brother Xiao Sa's livestream isn't bad."
"Hello Mr. Ling, can I request a ticket?" It was a comment from a minor celebrity.
After the celebrity left a comment, several others in the entertainment industry followed suit.
"My wife must go. Tickets can't be bought even for twenty thousand online."
"Mr. Ling, we met at the film festival. Can you give me a ticket?"
Some were trying to cozy up to Ling Zhenfei, which left him quite speechless—there were many people he'd met at the film festival, but handing tickets to everyone was impossible.
Ling Zhenfei decided not to pay attention to these people. His fan festival wasn't something you could attend just because you wanted to.
Though these commentators were among the early risers, many others would join in as the morning progressed, which might cause things to explode.
Ling Zhenfei then checked other news.
Whenever Ling Zhenfei wanted to see news about himself, there was no need to search far—fans often mentioned him.
Ling Zhenfei only needed to open and have a look, and these messages included mentions of him and the Xianrenzui Distillery.
There were also discussions about Ling Zhenfei and the Charity Hospital, and one piece of news shocked Ling Zhenfei.
This news concerned him and Li Yuetong—he hadn't expected this secret to be uncovered.
There were even two photos, although blurry through the raincoat, one could still discern Ling Zhenfei and Li Yuetong's likenesses.
The photo's caption suggested a private meeting between Ling Zhenfei and Li Yuetong, hinting at a confirmed romance.
If Ling Zhenfei was seen with any woman, it was usually assumed to confirm a romance, which was ridiculous. However, Ling Zhenfei felt some sympathy—these media outlets were merely trying to make a living, using such headlines as clickbait.
Ling Zhenfei simply viewed the news without commenting. Regarding rumored romances, Zheng Feng knew most of them were false, so there was no need to watch.
After closing the computer, Ling Zhenfei went to Xi Shan Restaurant for some breakfast.
He also planned his schedule, having arranged with Li Yuetong to shoot promotional photos in the morning.
Even though he'd assigned this task to the PR department, Ling Zhenfei still needed to be present.
In the afternoon, Ling Zhenfei had to return to Xishan Manor to see this President Xu and find out what kind of person he was.
Then someone called, and Ling Zhenfei picked up—it was the PR department on the line.
Since Ling Zhenfei had personally instructed them on this task, the PR department didn't dare slack, hence the early morning call.
Ling Zhenfei discussed the meeting time and place with them and then headed towards the door.
He was going to meet Li Yuetong.
Arriving at the hotel where Li Yuetong was staying, Ling Zhenfei checked the time and hesitated, unsure whether she was awake. Celebrities like her required ample sleep.
He tentatively sent Li Yuetong a WeChat message, surprised by her quick reply indicating she was already awake.
Ling Zhenfei went to pick up Li Yuetong.
As a big star, Li Yuetong's entourage was substantial, including assistants, managers, and bodyguards.
Together, they headed to Xi Shan Restaurant.
Given they were promoting Xi Shan Restaurant, the shooting definitely needed to be at the restaurant.
Upon arriving at Xi Shan Restaurant, the PR department was already there.
It was just past nine in the morning, and breakfast patrons were almost done.
