Chapter 781 The Young Man in the Screening Room

Early the next morning, the deputy head of the diplomatic mission and several experts in charge of appraisal, under the protection of the immortals, prepared to go and appraise the statue of the celestial being.

Seeing Lin Shen coming over, Deputy Captain Chi 9 couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although Lin Shen was only a figurehead, he had been in the Diman tribe for two days and they had hardly seen any trace of Lin Shen. He did not even attend the meetings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the diplomatic corps. This Lin Shen was really too outrageous.

Others didn't have a good attitude towards Lin Shen either, and just treated him as air.

Lin Shen didn't care. He took Ouyang Yudu and a few others and followed the officials of the Diman Tribe's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Imperial Capital Museum, where the statues of the gods were collected.

But after arriving at the Imperial Capital Museum, only Lin Shen, Chi 9, and several appraisal experts were allowed to enter. Even the immortals who were responsible for guarding had to wait outside.

The list has been determined long ago, and not everyone is eligible to participate.

Lin Shen actually didn't want to go in. It would be better to rest in the hall. If he had a choice, he would rather wait in the hall.

Led by the staff, the group passed through many doors and finally arrived at the hall where statues of celestial beings and gods were collected.

Lin Shen looked at the statue of the celestial being placed in an energy shield. There didn't seem to be anything special about that thing.

It looks like a white stone statue, carved with the image of an angel with wings spread, hands clasped together, eyes closed and praying.

If you didn't know in advance that this was a statue of a god, you would think it was just an ordinary stone statue.

Although there is an energy shield for protection, there is still a fully armed guard guarding each of the four corners of the room.

The staff of the Diman tribe were discussing with their appraisers. Chijiu was also saying something to the staff from time to time. Only the team leader Lin Shen had nothing to do and was yawning nearby.

Lin Shen originally thought that it was just an appraisal and would be over soon, but who knew that the shield had not been opened yet. They had been discussing there for nearly an hour just looking at the statue of the celestial being.

Lin Shen was bored, so he walked over to a bench against the wall and sat down.

Chi Jiu frowned and looked at him, but didn't say anything.

The entire identification process was extremely cumbersome, and the Diman tribe obviously would not let them touch the statue of the celestial being at will. Chi Jiu and the others had a very painful negotiation, but they had to be patient and negotiate with the other party.

This hall is connected to the hall next to it. Lin Shen remembered that when he passed by there just now, he saw some collectibles there. It was really boring to sit there, so he simply stood up and went to the hall next to it to take a look.

There were many portraits hanging in this hall. Lin Shen looked at them for a while and found that the people in the portraits should be the same person, probably an emperor of the Diman tribe.

After looking for a while, feeling a little bored, Lin Shen saw that the door to the other side was ajar, so he walked over.

After walking in, I found that this was a small screening room where a holographic projection was being shown.

In the entire small hall, there was only a young man from the Diman tribe sitting there watching the video.

"What kind of movie is this? It looks interesting." Lin Shen asked as he sat down next to the young man from the Diman tribe.

The young man ignored him and just watched the movie.

Seeing that he ignored him, Lin Shen stopped bothering him. For someone who was concentrating on watching a movie, it was indeed a bit impolite.

Lin Shen moved to the side and sat there to watch without disturbing the man. It was more interesting than watching them identify it.

The movie was quite interesting. Although Lin Shen started watching from the middle, he didn't feel bored. The content seemed to be telling a story similar to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, but the protagonists were a young couple from the Diman tribe.

The man was handsome and the woman was pretty. When Lin Shen was watching, they were studying in the same academy and practicing swordsmanship together.

The man didn't know that the woman was a man in disguise. Both of them were extremely talented, and they were competing with each other and neither was willing to give in.

In the end, the two people went from competing with each other at the beginning to gradually admiring each other, and then the girl fell in love with the man. The man eventually discovered the fact that the girl was disguised as a man, and they developed a mutual love for each other.

The two of them practiced a set of combined sword techniques together, and they practiced with great passion.

As Lin Shen watched, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned to look at the young man next to him, then looked at the male protagonist in the movie. Only then did he realize that this man was the male protagonist in the movie.

"I wonder what it feels like to watch a movie in which I acted myself?" Lin Shen thought to himself.

The young man ignored Lin Shen and focused on watching the movie.

Ever since Lin Shen found out that he was the male lead, he would secretly glance at him from time to time. When the movie reached the part where the man and woman were separated due to family obstacles, Lin Shen saw that the young man actually had tears in his eyes, as if they were about to fall.

Lin Shen was speechless. He didn't feel it was that touching. This man was actually moved to this extent by the movie he starred in.

The ending of the movie is somewhat different from the story Lin Shen knows. The hero and heroine are eventually separated. The heroine is forced to marry by her family, and the hero is forced to leave and no one knows where he went.

After the movie ended, the young man seemed to come to his senses. He was suddenly startled when he saw Lin Shen next to him.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" the man looked at Lin Shen and asked.

"Is this true? This guy was so engrossed in watching a movie that he didn't even know I was here?" Lin Shen had no choice but to say, "I saw the door was open just now, so I came in and watched for a while. I was just talking to you, but you were concentrating on watching the movie and ignored me."

"Movie?" The young man was slightly startled, and after carefully examining Lin Shen for a few times, he suddenly realized and said, "You are Lin Shen, the leader of the Celestial Emissary Group."

"It's me. What's your name?" Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the other party knew him.

"Just call me Coco. I'm a staff member here. Don't tell others that you've seen me here. It would be troublesome if people found out that I came here to watch a movie during working hours." said the young man.

"Same here. I also ran out during working hours. I'll keep it a secret for you and you should keep it a secret for me." Lin Shen said with a smile.

"Yes, you should be identifying the statues of gods and immortals now, why did you run out?" Coco asked Lin Shen in confusion.

"Don't you know? I'm just a team leader in name only. They don't need me. It's the same with or without me." Lin Shen said lazily.

This is not a secret. The Diman tribe is also well aware of it. Their negotiations with the delegation are basically coordinated with Chi Jiu, and no one comes to find Lin Shen at all.

Coco seemed deeply touched by what she heard and sighed, "Then you must be very depressed."

"Who said it wasn't true? After all, I am the leader of a group, and those guys don't even take me seriously. Isn't that infuriating?" Lin Shen said casually.

He was just chatting with Coco. If you really asked him to take charge of something, he really wouldn't want to.

Unexpectedly, Keke felt very unfair for Lin Shen and said angrily: "You are right, they are really rude."

The two chatted for a while, and they got along better and better. The young man had obviously been excluded before, and he understood Lin Shen's situation very well. When he got excited, he was even more excited than Lin Shen.
