Chapter 33: *Xiao Xiao Ao Jianghu* Begins Broadcasting (Three chapters today, please follow and read, thank you!)

After experiencing endless queuing, the preliminary auditions finally came to an end.

After waiting for a few days, he finally received the notification for the secondary auditions.

The day of the exam arrived.

The candidates noticed that the number of people had decreased significantly, and a sense of crisis immediately spread.

The content of the second round of exams was much the same as before, except that the performance portion was changed to group sketches. The judges would divide the candidates into several groups, then assign a topic and give them five minutes to prepare.

Everyone was a stranger, so the difficulty skyrocketed accordingly.

This was the only difficult point of the secondary auditions.

Relying on his performance in the first round, plus the deep impression the Seven Stars Sword Technique Li Luo had just demonstrated left on the candidates, he forcefully seized command.

He smoothly completed the performance topic.

The secondary auditions ended.

The final third round of auditions followed in quick succession.

It was still testing those same few content areas, but the format had changed. There wasn't much room for free improvisation; the form, voice, and lines all had to follow the teacher's rhythm. To put it bluntly, it was just copying what was shown.

When it came to the performance portion.

It was even more direct: they were assigned a sketch and required to form teams freely.

He had never performed a sketch before, but Li Luo was not flustered in the slightest.

After the judge finished speaking, he quickly scanned for familiar faces. Anyone he could recognize was someone who had successfully passed the exams.

This proved their strength wasn't bad; at the very least, they wouldn't hold him back.

After a sweep of his gaze.

His expression showed slight surprise.

Among the candidates of this year, there were truly quite a few who would later make a name for themselves.

Aside from Jia Naiming and Bian Xiaoxiao, there was also Wang Luodan. The last one to enter his line of sight was an extremely beautiful face; her appearance could be considered outstanding even among the many candidates.

Huang Shengyi.

He hadn't expected her to be in the same year as him.

She possessed a beautiful exterior, and her appearance in the movie *Kung Fu Hustle* was extremely stunning.

It could be considered an overnight success.

However, regarding the issue of contract breach, she formed a sharp contrast with the hot-bodied star Zhang Yuqi, causing quite a stir.

Li Luo thought for a moment and walked quickly toward Jia Naiming.

"Hi."

Seeing Li Luo walking in her direction, Huang Shengyi greeted him with a giggle.

This guy's strength was obvious to all, and it would be great to team up with him. However, her smile quickly stiffened; Li Luo merely nodded his head slightly and walked straight past her.

It was the first time in her life she had been ignored like this.

Huang Shengyi clenched her fists and stomped her feet heavily.

The final third round of auditions was completed.

Li Luo walked with a relaxed pace toward the Beiying residential area.

There was no need to worry about the exam results.

His own strength was solid, and with two judges who would silently give him high marks, he just had to wait for the notification.

"Click~"

As soon as he turned the door lock, he smelled a pungent fragrance.

"Congratulations."

Xu Qing was fiddling with a corkscrew. Hearing the sound of the door opening, she immediately let go of the wine bottle and happily greeted him: "As soon as the exam ended, Feihong called me."

With a leap, she threw herself solidly onto Li Luo: "She said your performance was absolutely no problem."

"The only suspense is what place you'll get."

"Thank you."

Li Luo supported her with one hand and looked at the dining table in surprise: "Did you prepare all these things for me?"

On the table were all kinds of delicacies.

They were appealing in color, aroma, and taste.

Where his hands touched, it felt silky smooth.

Li Luo looked down and only then noticed that Xu Qing was no longer dressed in her usual home attire. She had not only changed into a tight-fitting skirt but also put on black silk stockings, as if she were a completely different person.

No wonder it felt so smooth.

He couldn't help but pinch her, enjoying the wonderful tactile sensation.

"That goes without saying."

Xu Qing said proudly: "I ordered all of these over the phone myself."

"Does it look good?"

Biting her lip again, she said somewhat shyly: "I've never dressed like this before, it's all because of you!!!"

Last night.

Xu Qing asked him how he wanted to celebrate after the exam.

At the time, Li Luo was stroking her long legs and casually said he didn't know what it would feel like if those legs were covered in silk stockings.

He didn't expect that, after only one night.

The wish would be realized.

"Thank you very much."

After Li Luo thanked her with heavy breathing, he grabbed the stockings and gave them a forceful tug.

"Rip~"

The sound of tearing rang out.

The black silk stockings Xu Qing had spent two hundred yuan on hadn't even been worn for half an hour before Li Luo tore them to shreds. In his view, this kind of thing wasn't meant to be worn.

It was meant to be put on.

And then torn apart.

"Ah~"

That feeling of violence made Xu Qing let out a soft moan, and her eyes quickly flooded with moisture: "Aren't we going to eat first?"

"Let's eat something better first."

Li Luo chuckled and swung his palm down forcefully.

The waves of her buttocks rippled.

After the exam, Li Luo wasn't in a hurry to go home.

Accompanied by Xu Qing, he visited all the tourist attractions in the capital. The two of them climbed mountains and waded through water together, and even drove the Mercedes G-Wagon to the Bashang Grassland for a wild time, harvesting quite a wave of attributes.

Time passed.

It soon reached March 26th.

*Xiao Xiao Ao Jianghu* officially began broadcasting.

Li Luo turned on the TV early and nervously tuned to Channel 8: "Are you sure it's today?"

"I'm sure."

Wearing silk pajamas, Xu Qing walked over holding red wine and sat down beside him: "Hu Zi said it's today. Look, isn't this the trailer?"

In normal times, Li Luo would have already been unable to resist getting handsy.

But at this moment.

He didn't have the slightest inclination.

He took the red wine, gulped down a large mouthful, and looked nervously at the TV.

Having lived two lives.

This was his first time appearing on the small screen.

It would be impossible not to be nervous. Li Luo was also looking forward to how he would appear on TV; after all, acting on set and the final presented effect were two completely different things.

Some magical production teams.

A group of actors wouldn't even know what kind of mess they had acted in until the production wrapped.

Seeing Li Luo's nervous appearance, Xu Qing understandingly held his hand. As long as the first step was taken firmly, the road ahead would be much smoother.

"It's starting!"

The TV screen changed, and Li Luo swallowed the red wine in his mouth forcefully.

First, the melodious playing of a guzheng rang out, the book cover of *Xiao Xiao Ao Jianghu* appeared on the TV, and a female humming sound came from the speakers. Clips of wonderful scenes appeared on the screen one after another as the book opened.

Hengdian.

At Yu Hong's home.

A full plate of shredded chicken, plus a few side dishes for drinking.

A group of people were drinking enthusiastically.

Although extras relied on the group leader to eat, any group leader with a bit of ambition would occasionally take extras with some ability out for a big drink; it was considered a means of winning people over.

After a busy day, having a few drinks.

It couldn't be more comfortable.

"Come, come, come, everyone cheers."

Yu Hong greeted everyone and squinted his eyes as he sucked down the wine cup.

"Boss."

Throwing a peanut into his mouth, Liu Er couldn't help but think of someone and asked curiously: "Do you know what that guy is doing?"

"Who?"

Yu Hong was a bit dazed.

"That lucky kid."

Liu Er crunched on a peanut, turned his chopsticks into a sword, and gestured wildly a few times.

Hearing this, the other extras all looked at Yu Hong.

Although more than a year had passed, the story about an extra being spotted by Zhang Zhizhong had become increasingly legendary, and everyone present was curious about the subsequent development of the matter.

"Oh, Xiao Luo!"

Yu Hong patted his belly and said loudly: "I talked to him on the phone a while ago. He's filming in a crew. They say he landed a small role. You guys can do it too in the future."

"Don't ask blindly, watch TV."

After speaking, he hurriedly waved his hand to change the subject.

There was no contact at all.

When Li Luo left, he didn't even have money to buy a mobile phone.

But it didn't affect his bragging. Yu Hong happily picked up a chicken leg and put it into his mouth.

It was just that he didn't notice that the few extras whose attention had been diverted were staring blankly at the small TV in the corner, each of their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

"Boss."

Liu Er turned his neck with difficulty, his voice hoarse: "Is this the small role you were talking about?"

"Hmm?"

Yu Hong looked in the direction Liu Er's arm was pointing. He saw that on the TV screen, Li Luo was galloping on horseback, surrounded by a group of subordinates from the Fuwei Escort Agency, looking so high-spirited.

"Clatter."

Two chopsticks slipped and fell to the ground one after another.

The room fell into dead silence.
