After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

At this point, Sheng Hanyu had already given Ye Sanqing a rough explanation. Hearing the conversation between the two behind her, she turned around and said, "Let me take it."

As he spoke, he casually shoved the map into Ye Sanqing's hand and freed his hand to take some of the things Pei Canxing was carrying.

Ye Sanqing had nothing in her hands at the moment, and she was carrying the bamboo basket meant for firewood on her back, so she naturally took the map and continued to observe.

Am I overthinking it, or do these two really have great chemistry?

[What a stroke of luck! Investing here is a sure win!]

[How strange. I initially thought Ye Wanyin was talking nonsense, but these two really don't seem like they just met.]

【Could it be that……】

I don't think it's necessary. Neither of them are idols. If there's anything between them, what's wrong with saying it?

I have some other thoughts, so I'll reserve my opinion for now.

What are your thoughts? Share them so we can all think about them together.

It's nothing much. Personally, I feel that Ye Sanqing has an ability to quickly integrate into his surroundings, while Xiao Sheng is just a part of that environment. So at first glance, it seems harmonious, but upon closer inspection, something doesn't feel right.

"What are you saying? Is she a chameleon?"

To be honest, now that she's wearing sportswear and carrying a basket, she really does look like she grew up in this village.

[I don't believe it, the couple I ship just has chemistry!]

[Isn't this actually a good thing for an actress? Doesn't that mean she can play any role convincingly? Wow, she has such a wide range of roles!]

It's a pity that the roles I played before were all too stereotypical, leaving little room for me to showcase my talents.

[That sounds nice, but really it's just that she has a country bumpkin vibe. People who grew up outside are just not as elegant as Wanwan. It's laughable.]

[Ye Wanyin's fans, please move aside. If you really want to cultivate a princess persona, we suggest you go back and learn some proper techniques (heart emoji). I've never seen a princess act like she's never seen a man before, clinging to someone like that (heart emoji).]

Haha, you've said what I've always wanted to say—I knew there was something strange about it.

Even Deng Lingxuan looks more like a princess than her, haha.

Ye Sanqing saw a map in the supermarket yesterday, but after scanning it, he knew it was of no help at all; at most, it marked the location of the river and hillside near the village.

Inside the mountains, the map shows a sea of ​​green.

Sheng Hanyu's map was much more detailed. As she memorized it, she told Xiaochong, "If I were still the emperor, I'd recruit him as a general no matter what."

"Why is the master's evaluation so high?" The little insect was also scanning the map at the same time. It couldn't do anything about it; there were no satellite maps of this place at all, and it couldn't find any information online, at most a contour map.

"Why don't you create a new account and pretend to be a fishing enthusiast, then infiltrate their group?" Ye Sanqing joked.

[It can be arranged once the physical unit is available.] Little Bug answered earnestly.

"Oh? You can get out of my head?" Ye Sanqing asked curiously. The little bug had been researching various materials for the past few days; could there really be a way to separate oneself from the brain?

We have some leads, but the specific methods need further research.

[Great! Let me know when you're ready, and I'll come and see what arrangements to make.]

"Master, am I no longer your favorite personal smart butler?" the little bug lamented.

"...You've learned to talk like this just from being online all the time?" Ye Sanqing was speechless. He was still more used to the emotionless, mechanical voice.

[Ahem. Just kidding.] The little bug instantly reverted to its emotionless demeanor.

After looking at the map, Ye Sanqing memorized the route.

It is estimated that after entering the mountains, it will take about two hours to find a place with plenty of firewood and collect a sufficient amount.

If dinner starts at six or seven o'clock, there are still about three hours to do other things, so the time is relatively ample.

Once inside the mountain, Ye Sanqing greeted Sheng Hanyu and the others, and they decided to split up.

Ye Wanyin, who was following behind, faced her second route choice of the day!

Should they shamelessly follow Sheng Hanyu and the others, or should they follow Ye Sanqing?

Continuing to follow the group seemed too obvious. Besides, she hadn't even had a chance to strike up a conversation.

But Ye Sanqing... Ye Wanyin was really afraid that the other party would push her off the mountain.

But she couldn't go back empty-handed, so she hesitated for a moment before quickly catching up with Ye Sanqing.

"Sister, why aren't you leaving with them? I thought you two had agreed to gather firewood together. Weren't they planning to help us? Otherwise, how can two girls complete the task?"

【Oh no, here we go again】

I'm fed up with this woman. Nobody offered to help them, right?

What? You think you're right not to help a girl? What kind of man are you?

What? Can't you walk independently without a man? Then you'd better not go out.

Ye Wanyin's words were complex, implying both an ambiguous relationship between Ye Sanqing and them, and a way of shifting blame onto the two brothers.

Upon hearing this, Ye Sanqing turned around and looked at her with a half-smile.

"First of all, just because you can't do the task doesn't mean I can't."

Secondly, if you can't do it, you shouldn't have come in the first place. It's been such a long journey, you could have turned back at any time. Why are you only saying you can't do it now that you're almost there? What, did your brain leave you the whole way and only just come back?

Third, no one told me we'd gather firewood together, and no one offered to help us. It seems that not only your brain has left you, but also your ears.

Looking at it this way, it's clear you really can't do it, since you've lost your brain and ears, which is a bit difficult for someone with disabilities like you.

Finally, if the first-place winner has to do the last-place winner's task, then what's the point of our scoring process? Your life might be meaningless, but the show's segments certainly are.

Ye Wanyin was speechless. Although Ye Sanqing often picked a point to retaliate against her, she didn't expect that this time Ye Sanqing would attack the trap she had set so comprehensively.

"If you feel you can't do it, go back now. This is your last chance."

Ye Sanqing stood at the entrance of the forest, his face still bearing that ambiguous smile. Behind him stood towering trees and an increasingly dense, deep forest, as if it were about to devour everything in front of him.

A sense of instinctive fear arose in Ye Wanyin's heart. She felt that Ye Sanqing was not asking her if she wanted to collect firewood, but rather issuing her an ultimatum to the death.

So she completely forgot about things like appearing on camera, being criticized for not doing tasks, building good relationships with men, and smearing Ye Sanqing on camera.

"I...I'm going to the village to check on things now. I'll leave the task of gathering firewood to my sister. I'm sure she can do it! I'm really looking forward to dinner!"

After Ye Wanyin finished speaking, she took off running, and the photographer almost couldn't keep up.

Those watching the live stream clearly saw Ye Sanqing staring at her retreating figure and uttering two words: "Useless."

After saying that, he turned and went into the woods.

What did I just see? Was I hallucinating?

[So handsome, sister! So handsome! Hehehehehehe! What is this? The screen is dirty, let me lick it! Hehehehehe!]

[Don't go crazy here!]

Let's go hiking together!

That scene could be a movie poster, like one of those mystery movies set in a cabin in the woods.

[It could also be a horror movie]

[Haha, how are Ye Wanyin's fans going to defend her this time?]

[Wanwan was afraid she wouldn't do a good job and would prevent everyone from having dinner, so she chose to leave! You make it sound so easy, but can you even gather firewood? I doubt Ye Sanqing can either; he's just pretending. He'll be happy if everyone misses dinner!]

【I really do know that, huh? What? You think everyone grew up in the city? Do you think there aren't enough rural people in our country, or that rural areas don't have internet access?】

[Ye Sanqing also said that if you can't do it, you can refuse from the beginning. You followed me for a long way without saying a word, so why are you just standing here like this?]

[They even tried to kidnap Xiao Sheng and Pei Pei. Unbelievable! They're number one, why should they help you? Because you're shameless?]

Since entering, Ye Sanqing has been focused on picking up firewood from the ground.

[How come she actually knows how to pick things up? Isn't she a young lady from a wealthy family?]

Don't you know she's a rich young lady who just came home?

[These are all good firewood; she even separates the relatively dry ones from those that need processing.]

[If you don't understand, just ask: how do you use it wet?]

It's not wet, just moist. Just bake it or let it air dry.

Although there were still comments discussing gathering firewood, the long, monotonous view became somewhat boring, and viewers gradually migrated to other live streams.

Sheng Hanyu had indeed found a fishing spot and was fishing quietly. Pei Canxing sat next to him, resting her chin on her hand and lost in thought.

It could be said that it was even less interesting, but there were still some viewers who admired the actors' looks.

Deng Lingxuan went straight to her room and went to sleep. Even the photographers were bored, but they still stuck to their posts.

Yin Xiangming diligently and meticulously cleaned, which earned him a group of viewers who felt he had the air of a married man.

Meanwhile, things were quite lively on Pan Hongyu's side. Over the years, she had mostly acted in TV dramas, mostly these kinds of family soap operas.

So when he arrived at the village intelligence station, he was immediately recognized!

Village Entrance Aunt 1: "Aren't you that wicked mother-in-law! Did you come to our village to chase after your runaway daughter-in-law? If you ask me, your son is no good!..."

Village Entrance Auntie 2: "No, no, they're actors, what you're saying is part of the plot! But where did your wife go? Can you tell us?"

The older women swarmed around her! They surrounded Pan Hongyu with great enthusiasm, asking about the plot while eating sunflower seeds.

Ji Wan had never seen such a scene before. He wanted to hide, but he was surrounded by the women and had nowhere to go, so he could only tremble with fear.

Pan Hongyu was quite used to it, mainly because she had been to many places to film, from rural areas to cities, all over the country, and had seen this scene quite often.

So she warmly took the arm of the nearest older woman, "Older sister, let me tell you something..." and walked towards the big stone block at the village entrance, having already integrated into the group.

Ji Wan followed behind, looking bewildered.

Is that even possible?

As a result, Pan Hongyu's live stream popularity was completely different from what Ye Wanyin had expected, and she quickly became number one.

Simply put, people love to hear gossip, especially gossip from the village entrance...
