Director Xie’s movie officially announced the cast lineup, causing quite a stir in the entertainment industry.

This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.

“Oh my god, the male lead is actually Best Actor Jiang!”

“An actor of his caliber, plus three veteran thespians—all as leads. This lineup is really to die for!”

“True to its title, ‘Heroes in Troubled Times’, this is truly a battle of the gods—”

“Just look at this cast and you know it’s going to be another blockbuster. Plus with Director Xie’s blessing, invincible indeed!”

“Epic win! Can’t wait, can’t wait….”

Once the cast was officially announced, what everyone was most interested in was still the lineup of leads.

After everyone finished exclaiming, they then had the time to pay attention to the supporting actors.

It was then that netizens who loved a good drama began to spot their cute factors and burst into laughter.

“enmmmm, as a qualified onlooker, I don’t care about any Best Actor or old pros, I’m just concerned about that female assassin, hhhhh~~~~”

“Pfft, guy above, your sleazy image is showing. Only caring about the female assassin, you just want to see Mu Ziwei’s jokes, hahaha!”

“Seriously, I’ve got to say that this time Mu Ziwei is embarrassingly humiliated—hear the slaps to her face.”

“These past few days, the news of her joining the movie has been boiling hot, and she even liked a few of her supporting fans’ comments on Weibo, saying things like ‘not officially announced yet, must keep a low profile….”

“Actually, she already acknowledged she’d landed the role of the female assassin—”

“Yeah, and because of that, her Weibo officially announced four front-line endorsements in just a few days, even including Hongyu Jewelry!”

“Now she can’t keep a low profile anymore.”

“Want to keep it low? Sorry, reality doesn’t allow it—”

“Not only can she not keep a low profile, but there’s also something funnier. Everyone go and see who the female assassin Director Xie picked is.”

“Holy crap??? It’s actually Tang Shu!!!”

“Tang Shu? Who’s Tang Shu? Never heard of her before?”

This obviously came from a male netizen who never watches variety shows or idol dramas.

However, this doesn’t mean that all male netizens are unaware of Tang Shu’s name, as those with girlfriends have a very important task to do on a regular basis.

That is—watching idol dramas and variety shows with their girls.

“I know, I know, my girlfriend is crazy about her. She is indeed beautiful; her looks are top-notch in the entertainment industry.”

“Holy crap, that’s bold of you above. Aren’t you afraid your girlfriend will see what you said?”

“Careful, or you’ll be beaten half to death!”

“I’m here, just went especially to Tang Shu’s side through Director Xie’s Weibo mention, and she’s indeed an exceptionally pretty girl, I’m already a converted fan.”

“Let me inform everyone, Tang Shu, that’s the newbie who was imperceptibly oppressed by Mu Ziwei.”

“This turnaround is freaking incredible. Just a while ago she was being suppressed, and now the slap back came so swiftly.”

“This newbie’s quite fierce; to directly topple a first-tier leading lady, not bad, huh?”

By this time, the influential bloggers had already diverted their attention and targeted Mu Ziwei!

The extent to which they praised Mu Ziwei a few days ago was as intense as they suppressed her now.

So, less than an hour after the official announcement, news about Mu Ziwei suppressing a newcomer and being slapped in the face followed one after another, and almost instantly climbed the trending search.

Medical University, Teaching Building.

As the bell for the end of class rang, the freshmen from the Chinese Medicine Department heaved a collective sigh of relief.

“Finally, class is over. Why is our counselor’s presence so strong!”

“Yeah, it scared me to death. She called on students to answer questions throughout the lecture!”

“So terrifying, who said that going to university is liberating? It’s just another form of hell!”

“Can’t believe it, the counselor is even more frightening than Professor Yu!!!”

“Is she on her period? Her temper is even fiercer than my mom in pre-menopause.”

“Can’t do it anymore, I’m not gonna last—”

“You guys notice that our counselor has been directing questions at Tang Shu all class, right?”

“Tang Shu is really something else; she hasn’t attended class for a week but didn’t fall behind on her major subjects at all. The counselor’s questions got tougher and tougher, and she managed to answer every single one!”

“Admire, admire. Truly worthy of being the face of our Traditional Chinese Medicine department’s freshmen.”

“Perhaps… the counselor knew that Tang Shu would know the answers, so she called on her to answer the questions?”

When Ye Xiaohui heard this comment from a classmate, she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Only after those few students had left the classroom did she dare to speak up.

“Aren’t their perceptions a bit off? Was our counselor being considerate of a good student? She was clearly trying to make things difficult!”

Cheng Ranran also looked like she had a close call, patting her protruding chest.

“Yeah, I mean, Shushu, who did you manage to offend that you had to go and pick a fight with the counselor?”

“What grievances could there possibly be? Teacher Chen’s eyes were practically shooting daggers at you!”

Since she was young, Cheng Ranran had a special talent: her perception of everything around her was extremely accurate.

If put into Ye Xiaohui’s words, it would be that this person was born with an innate ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and was incredibly precise at that.

“Logically, Teacher Chen should like students like Tang Shu who are both talented and good-looking. She has always been very nice to our third-year senior, Meng Yunyun.”

“So why has the rule changed completely when it comes to Tang Shu?”

The targeted Tang Shu pursed her lips, her eyes reflecting deep thought.

“I don’t think I’ve done something terribly wrong to provoke Teacher Chen.”

However…

When soldiers come, they’re met with a general; when water rises, a dam is formed. She needn’t concern herself with such petty and tricky maneuvers.

“Let’s go, let’s head to the cafeteria to eat.”

“Let’s go, I’m so hungry. Do they have that tangy and crunchy pickled vegetable this time?!”

“They do.”

“Oh yeah~~~~”

“Shushu, your phone is ringing——”

Inside the cafeteria, Tang Shu had just returned with her meal when she saw her phone flashing in Cheng Ranran’s hand.

She took her phone, pushed the bottle with the cucumber forward, and found a quiet place to answer the call.

“Hello——”

“Hello, is this Miss Tang Shu?”

Upon answering, a voice came through the phone, cool with a hint of laziness in its tone.

“Speaking, and you are…”

“Let me introduce myself, my name is Wen Nuan. I’m the owner of Plants & Herbs Hall. Last Thursday, Miss Tang, you placed a custom order for a… cold weapon in our Yun Province store.”

That female voice deliberately paused for a moment on the last three words.

Looking through the cafeteria window at the azure sky outside, Tang Shu replied, “Boss Wen, are you calling today because it’s ready to be collected?”

“Yes, if Miss Tang is available, we would be obliged if you could stop by our store to pick it up. I will send the address to your phone momentarily.”

“Alright, thank you.”

“Until next time then.”

As the call ended, Tang Shu already heard a notification sound coming from her phone.

It was a text message.

A message with the address of Plants & Herbs Hall.

A flicker of surprise crossed Tang Shu’s eyes; for the first time, she felt a change in her perception of modern people.

The set of Hidden Weapons she had ordered… they were not easy to craft.
