I'm not a theatre god

"I feel I'm recovering well, so I'll go downstairs for a walk." Chen Ling replied.

Ning Ruyu:...

Ning Ruyu glanced at the wounds that seemed to be about to burst, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly. Without saying a word, he drove Chen Ling back to the bed and strictly forbade him to get out of bed and walk before the wounds healed. He almost tied him up with a rope.

"Big brother, I'm still strong. I won't die after walking a few steps." Chen Ling tried to struggle.

Ning Ruyu gritted his teeth and said, "It's true that I won't die, but I don't want to see you walk and walk, and your intestines fall all over the floor again... I'll have to sew you up then."

"..."

"Little brother, don't risk your life. You're taking too big and too fast steps, and it's easy to get into trouble."

Seeing Ning Ruyu's solemn admonition, Chen Ling gave up struggling. He lay on the bed and nodded helplessly...

Seeing this, Ning Ruyu finally relaxed a little, put on his shoes and prepared to push the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Go talk to the master and other junior brothers and sisters... You just rest here."

As Ning Ruyu left, she closed the door with her backhand, and the room fell into silence.

Chen Ling, wrapped in bandages, lay alone on the bed, staring at the ceiling with bored eyes, and a line of characters floated in front of him:

[Current expectation value: 59%]

It started to drop again...

When Chen Ling was in the theater just now, the audience's expectation value was still 60%. It seems that the boring rest still makes the audience a little bored. If this situation continues, when I fully recover, the expectation value is estimated to drop a lot again.

"I have been in Xidao Ancient Tibetan for almost half a year... I don't know what's going on in the Red Dust Realm?"

Chen Ling has been in Xidao Ancient Tibetan for a longer time than the Aurora Realm, but he doesn't feel anything... Perhaps it's because it's too comfortable here. Chen Ling can hardly feel the passage of time. He studies drama and practices martial arts every day, and a day passes in the blink of an eye.

It is said that there is no time in the mountains. Chen Ling's stay in the ancient treasure house of Xidao is no different from living in seclusion in the mountains. He has no idea about the situation outside or what happened in the nine realms.

Chen Ling tossed and turned on the bed, thinking carefully for a long time, muttering to himself:

"I have mastered most of the basic skills of Xidao, and the most important 'Zhu Yan' has also been opened. It is difficult to make new improvements if I continue to stay... Maybe it's time to leave."

...

A week passed in a flash.

Chen Ling's injuries have been completely recovered. I don't know whether it is because the healing power of [Blood Robe] is too strong or Ning Ruyu's magic hand has brought him back to life. Chen Ling has no scars left on his body. His skin is as smooth as jade, and his spirit has returned to the peak again.

This week, Ning Ruyu basically took care of him personally. The third brother Wen Renyou came to bring him food every day, and other brothers and sisters also took turns to visit him, as if they were afraid that Chen Ling would be bored... Of course, Chen Ling would not be bored, only the "audience" would be bored.

It is worth mentioning that after Ning Ruyu left that day, the master went down the mountain that night.

Chen Ling asked where the master had gone. Several senior brothers and sisters were hesitant and could not explain clearly. They only said that they were looking for a mysterious person. The mysterious person seemed to know a lot of secrets and had passed information to Xidao Guzang... But his whereabouts were too mysterious, and only the master could find him.

Although the other senior brothers and sisters were all relaxed and joking when they visited Chen Ling, for some reason, Chen Ling always felt that they were holding something in their hearts... Especially Ning Ruyu, Chen Ling saw him sitting under the moon more than once, frowning and thinking.

Then, Mojiao also went down the mountain.

Before leaving, Mojiao also came to visit Chen Ling and said that he was going to investigate some things as a member of the Twilight Club and would be back in about three to five days. Chen Ling took the opportunity to propose to go down the mountain with him, but was rejected on the grounds that "the injury has not yet fully recovered."

The master and the last role went down the mountain one after another, and the clown stayed at the Chou Peak all year round. In addition to Chen Ling, there were only three people left in the whole Xidao Ancient Tibetan. Ning Ruyu, Luan Mei, and Wen Renyou. Every time when it was time to eat, Chen Ling looked at the four people who could not even sit at the table, and always felt empty.

On the day when Chen Ling recovered completely, he finished a whole bowl of rice, put down the bowl, took a deep breath and said:

"Big brother, I want to leave Xidao Ancient Tibetan for a while."

Luan Mei and Wen Renyou looked at each other with complicated expressions, and looked at Ning Ruyu at the same time. Now that the master is gone, Big Brother is the pillar of Xidao Ancient Tibetan and the head of all of them.

"Why?" Ning Ruyu asked back.

"I just feel that I have been comfortable here for too long." Chen Ling said truthfully, "After all, I am also a member of the Dusk Society. It is not a good idea to stay in Xidao Ancient Tibetan all the time... Whether it is to accept a mission or to lurk in the boundary, I want to go out and do something."

Ning Ruyu thought for a moment,

"Junior brother, I think you are still too anxious... You are only at the third level now, and you haven't even mastered the domain. You can't protect yourself after leaving Xidao Ancient Tibetan, and you still have one of the four basic skills of singing, reciting, acting and fighting.

Why don't you stay in Xidao Ancient Tibetan for a while longer, wait until you master the domain and learn the secret method of the word "fight" before leaving, this is the safest way."

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's too long."

Chen Ling completed the performance in the middle of the third level, and it is indeed not far from the promotion to the fourth level... But after all, it still takes a few months, not to mention that the performance conditions for the final promotion are still unknown, and not all performances can be solved by era archives.

It is too slow and too conservative for Chen Ling to develop to the fourth level in Xidao Guzang... and it is even impossible for the "audience" to accept it.

"Then at least, we have to wait until you master all the four basic secret techniques, right?"

"Of the four basic secret techniques, I only have the secret technique of 'beating' left to learn... Now my body has returned to its peak condition and I can start at any time."

"Okay." Ning Ruyu nodded, "However, practicing the secret method of 'beating' requires a specific environment... I will need about three or four days to prepare."

"Three or four days..."

Chen Ling thought for a while. It was too long to wait to advance to the fourth level in Xidao Guzang, but a few days were still worth the wait, so she nodded in agreement.

…

Chen Ling spent the next few days waiting.

In the past few days, Ning Ruyu was almost nowhere to be seen, and the daily close combat training had not been carried out. Chen Ling could only see him during dinner every day.

When eating on the fourth day, Chen Ling couldn't help but ask again when she would learn the secret method of "beat", but Ning Ruyu said that things were a bit troublesome and it would take about two or three days.

"Will it take so long?"

Chen Ling vaguely felt something was wrong, but after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't ask any more questions.

He raised his head and looked at Luan Mei and Wen Renyou beside him. They avoided looking at Chen Ling and continued to eat with their heads down in silence.
