I Am A Prodigy - Chapter 701
Chapter 701: Tripartite Confrontation?
Following that, Dong Miaomiao’s body caught Ye Lingchen’s attention.
Unlike the others, Dong Miaomiao’s Qi actually carried a hint of green in it.
Although it was very weak, there was something quite unique about it.
Wood Spirit Constitution?
That did not seem right.
It was not even the most basic of Wood Spirit Constitution, but at least it proved that her constitution was better than ordinary people because the fundamentals were there.
Her natural predisposition to medicinal materials and good understanding of them was unsurprising.
Was it incidental that Ye Lingchen could see a person’s constitution after having the intermediate Aura Divination? If the concentration of that Qi represented the state of that person, then… could it also be interpreted as strength? Could a person’s Qi represent their strength?
That was practically the same as Fiery Golden Eyes[1], where another person’s Qi would always betray their presence no matter how much well they hide.
“Hey, do you have to look like an idiot when you see beautiful girls? You’re staring so much that your eyes are gonna pop out of your head,” Hao Yun said angrily and waved her hands in front of Ye Lingchen’s eyes.
Dong Miaomiao and Xiao Feifei both stared at Ye Lingchen, but they were secretly a little happy. He could ogle them all he wanted if he did it in secret, but it would create a negative perception if he did it so uninhibitedly.
Ye Lingchen smiled without a care, then looked at Xiao Feifei and said, “Didn’t you rest well these few days?”
“It was okay.”
“I’ll give you a massage later. You should rest and sleep well tonight. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself in the future, you know that? You’re the most important thing.”
Xiao Feifei’s Qi was the weakest and she was clearly not in good condition. Her body was worn out, and Ye Lingchen did not need to know that she was actually preparing for the release of Drawing Sword.
“Mm,” Xiao Feifei grunted happily and her face was flush.
She met Ye Lingchen because of the massage and the two of them had plenty of close contact with each other.
“Tch, you and your sweet talk!” Hao Yun could not stand it and snorted softly. “You’ve just enjoyed the company of a woman after participating in King of Masked Singers and now you’re trying to flirt with Sister Feifei again.”
“Yeah, Chairman Ye. Chen Xiaoyan was looking at you so deeply. I heard that you wrote songs for her too. Tsk, tsk, tsk…” Dong Miaomiao also responded teasingly.
“My relationship with her is purely for artistic cooperation,” Ye Lingchen answered honestly.
“BAH!” Hao Yun pursed her lips then asked in all seriousness “Explain yourself and be honest. Have you overstepped any boundaries?”
‘WHAT?’
That question stunned Ye Lingchen silly.
“You’re a man and you have to own up to your actions. You know what I’m talking about,” Hao Yun pressed on.
Ye Lingchen looked at Dong Miaomiao, then at Xiao Feifei. Although they looked coy, they seemed to be eagerly waiting for his answer.
“Ahem. I didn’t.” Ye Lingchen coughed lightly. His relationship with Chen Xiaoyan did not count, right?
“You’re surrounded by beautiful women yet you still seek out other girls to frolic with. Such a pervert,” Hao Yun continued.
Ye Lingchen said almost without thinking, “Does it make any difference when I can’t put my hand in the cookie jar?”
“BAH, keep dreaming!”
“I’d have to think about it.”
“Who said you can’t?”
The three voices sounded almost simultaneously. Hao Yun looked at the two ‘traitors’ beside her in shock, while Xiao Feifei and Dong Miaomiao’s face turned red instantly.
“Huhuhu!”
At that moment, bursts of whimpering broke the awkward atmosphere.
“Ah! Little White! What’s happened to you, Little White?”
“Who was so cruel?”
The three women exclaimed in distress and ran over quickly and pulled away the vines in a hurry. They rescued the aggrieved Little White and carefully combed its dirty fur.
Ye Lingchen rolled his eyes at Little White, who was just pretending to be a cute little pussy cat. That feline had absolutely no sense of what species it was.
During those few days.
On Weibo.
After the topic of King of Masked Singers subsided, the netizens shifted their attention to the latest and hottest television series.
[I’m looking forward to these two big dramas that will be released soon.]
[YEAH! I’m soooooo excited for Relentless Swordsman and Best Time!]
[Didn’t Zhang Tao and Huang Xing participate in King of Masked Singers just to promote these two TV series?]
[Hahaha, that’s right, but unfortunately, they did not win the championship.]
[Maybe they can reach the top this time.]
[The two of them are semi-famous, so it’ll be a fierce battle this time.]
[Finally, there’s something good to watch. The time slots are a done deal for these two TV series, and they’ll be on the same day too. if one of them suppresses the other, then the position of the next king will be fixed. Looks like little fresh meats thrive in the entertainment industry.]
[There’s also Actor Y’s series, right?]
[You mean Drawing Sword? No idea if it’s finished.]
[Drawing Sword will be a flop. It’s a military drama. What kind of impact will it have? I’ll eat sh*t if it becomes a hit.]
…
In a hotel somewhere in Capital City.
The crew of Relentless Swordsman was having a celebration party.
“Young Master Tao, this all depends on your appeal.”
“Director Wu, what do you think our ratings can reach this time?”
“Hard to say, but it definitely won’t be that bad.”
“We have been filming this for five months. Everyone has given their all, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“We have only one opponent, and that’s Best Time!”
“How dare they challenge us and air their show on the same day. They’re digging a grave for themselves!”
“Yes. Let’s see who’s the coward!”
…
Huang Xing’s Studio.
“Young Master Huang will definitely be a hit this time.”
“F*ck Relentless Swordsman!”
“We’ve been sharpening our tools for half a year and there’s so many eye-catching highlights in our show that it’s almost flawless. We’ll definitely get good ratings!”
“It’s very likely to be a hit! Good days are ahead!”
“Hahaha, you got that right. We’re witnessing the moment in history!”
…
Everyone was keeping their eyes peeled.
The crew was building momentum.
The media also seemed enthusiastic too.
Over that period of time, the popularity of King of Masked Singers had passed and many people’s attention once again shifted to little fresh meat. Along with the increasing amount of hype on the internet, Zhang Tao and Huang Xing’s fans began arguing about who would get the title of king.
On Miracle Island, Xiao Feifei held Little White in her arms, then looked at Ye Lingchen and asked, “Lingchen, are we really going to release it with those two TV series?”
“Of course. Is the time slot confirmed?” Ye Lingchen smiled and nodded.
“Mm. It’ll be on the twentieth of this month, which is just one week away.”
Ye Lingchen looked at the phone and smiled enigmatically. “Then seize this moment to make some publicity.”
Xiao Feifei and others looked at Ye Lingchen suspiciously.
Not long later, a piece of news circulated on the internet that left everyone dumbfounded.
During that moment, the news exploded, the media went crazy, and many netizens were shocked. Even the industry could not believe it.
Actor Y actually released a Weibo post!
Drawing Sword had finished quietly and surreptitiously. Its airing time on China Central Television was set!
Everyone was stunned when they saw the broadcast time!
Relentless Swordsman, Best Time, and Drawing Sword were released on the same day at the same time!
Was that…a tripartite confrontation?!

[1] 火眼金睛 – this is Sun Wukong’s Fiery Golden Eyes. When Sun Wukong was burnt in Lao Zi’s furnace for 49 days, he sat in a place where there was only smoke, but no fire. He therefore managed to survive the burning, but his eyes were smoked into Fiery Golden Eyes. This enables him to see as far as a thousand miles in the day and six hundred miles at night. He can see through any disguise, illusion, or transformation. Sun Wukong’s skill is almost parallel with Ye Lingchen, which begs the question: is there anything Ye Lingchen can’t do?
