I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 97 Cannot Be Refunded

Many staff members witnessed this scene, as did other artists, who were surprised that Liu Yijia was so unreserved.

"Who is that person?" This is what many people are thinking.

Pei Ju gently patted her back.

"Hold me tight," Liu Yijia said, her voice trembling with a hint of tears as she hugged Pei Ju tightly.

Pei Ju didn't say anything more, but simply hugged her tightly.

Her head only reached Pei Ju's chin, just touching it, and she hugged him tightly. After a while, she suddenly said, "I was just thinking, why do people become like commodities when they grow up, coveted by others, with prices marked in their minds?"

"Why is it that when something is clearly wrong and shouldn't happen, everyone thinks it's part of the rules?" Liu Yijia's voice trembled slightly.

Pei Ju remained silent for a while before slowly saying in her ear, "I don't know, but I can let others know that the price they marked for you is wrong."

"Come on, take me to see that person," Pei Ju said slowly. His voice was soft, barely audible, whispering in Liu Yijia's ear, but his tone was firm.

Although Liu Yijia's words were unclear, Pei Ju could sense that someone was forcing Liu Yijia to do something, and that Liu Yijia was under pressure and at a loss.

Liu Yijia shook her head without saying anything, and said, "I want to leave this show and stop working in the entertainment industry."

"Why are you leaving? I'm your classmate. Tell me, it's okay." Pei Ju's eyes turned cold.

Liu Yijia didn't mention that the other person was a famous spirit catcher, because she knew that saying that would be tantamount to angering the person she was holding.

She knew that a hot-blooded young man, upon hearing her words, would rush forward without hesitation.

This is not what she wanted.

So she shook her head and simply said, "I want to leave here. Take me away."

She believed that if she wanted to leave, Pei Ju could take her with him.

“You’re fine, there’s no need for you to leave,” Pei Ju said. “Let’s go inside. I heard from you that everyone here is a renowned spirit catcher, and I’d like to see for myself.”

He saw Liu Yijia's assistant standing there, patted Liu Yijia on the back, and Liu Yijia's mood calmed down. She let go of Pei Ju's body, glanced at Pei Ju, and immediately lowered her head. She was a little embarrassed. In the entertainment industry, she had seen and heard a lot, but she had never talked about it herself.

This was the first time I had ever truly hugged a boy, and my heart pounded when I saw Pei Ju's face.

Pei Ju looked at her assistant and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

The assistant glanced at Pei Ju, then at Liu Yijia, unsure of what to say.

She dared not speak, because it was a huge matter; she dared not speak, because she knew that if young people were always too impetuous, that impetuosity could be fatal.

"Come on, let's go in." Pei Ju let go of Liu Yijia, then took her hand and walked towards the film set.

Liu Yijia's assistant is named Xiaodi. She has never met Pei Ju, nor has she ever seen a picture of him, but she knows that Liu Yijia has someone she likes.

You could say she doesn't like him, because Liu Yijia has said on more than one occasion that her idol is Pei Ju.

Now, after seeing Pei Ju, she felt that he must be the Pei Ju that Liu Yijia had been longing for. Judging from his appearance, this Pei Ju was indeed someone worth keeping an eye on.

Pei Ju followed Liu Yijia all the way into the production crew area, noticing that many people were looking at them.

He didn't care, he used to not care, but now he has a sharper edge to him.

Xiao Di followed behind. She felt the attention of the production crew and so many people staring at her. She was young and inexperienced, and she was scared and didn't know how to deal with it. However, when she saw Liu Yijia and her classmate, she didn't seem to care at all.

No one greeted them until they reached their lounge.

The two sat down.

The assistant was very perceptive; she poured water for the two of them, and then she was about to leave when Pei Ju said, "Hello, could you tell me?"

The assistant glanced at Liu Yijia and, seeing that Liu Yijia did not object, explained what had happened.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Pei Ju's expression. He didn't seem to be particularly concerned, nor did he seem to be afraid. Instead, he looked at Liu Yijia and said, "Are you afraid that I'll go to that person because of this?"

Liu Yijia looked at Pei Ju and said, "It's okay, I just need to leave here. Nothing can be worse than taking a step back. If taking one step back doesn't work, I'll take three."

“You did nothing wrong, why retreat? Sometimes, taking a step back is like falling into an abyss. What you think is a path behind you is actually just a quagmire. Just keep moving forward. Come on, didn’t he say ten o’clock? Now’s perfect, I’ll take you there.”

Liu Yijia opened her mouth as if to say something, but she didn't know how big the difference was between professionals. She could only guess that this person, who had been famous for many years and was over forty, must be very powerful.

However, she didn't know if Pei Ju was a match for Gu Feng, and she didn't know much about the extraordinary professional circle.

Seeing the look in Liu Yijia's eyes, Pei Ju smiled and said, "It's okay. Back in high school, I was never afraid of anyone, and I'm still the same now."

"Then you can sit here," Pei Ju said, and then asked Xiao Di to take him there.

But Liu Yijia couldn't just sit there by herself, so she stood up and said, "If, I mean if we're going to die, I'll die with you."

"What do you mean by 'death'?" Pei Ju laughed after saying that, and Liu Yijia took the initiative to hug his arm.

The two went out and headed towards the lounge where Gu Feng was.

Many people have seen it.

The program's planning and directing teams all tensed up, with one saying, "Should we try to persuade them?"

"What are you trying to persuade? If you can persuade someone, why didn't you guys do it when Gu Feng was planning to ambush them?" someone said bluntly.

"But what if something happens?"

"If something happens, there's the police department, the code of conduct for superhumans, and the law. What are we worried about? If someone dies, we can just replace them with someone else."

Gu Feng also received the news. He sneered and said, "There really are people who aren't afraid of death. They've really been blinded by beauty."

"It's alright, go open the door. I want these youngsters to know that seniors are meant to be respected, and that challenging them comes at a price," Gu Feng said with a smile as he sat there.
