Don't you two have to go to Suzhou to film tomorrow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun checked her watch and smiled: \"Didn't notice time passing so fast. Let's buy a few more pieces of lingerie for your Sister Jiang and then we'll go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you saying!\" Jiang Qinqin’s face flushed with shyness; she gave Zhou Xun a reproachful pat, then cast a glance at the young Daoist priest, who looked as composed as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jiang-Zhe-Hu region is quite humid, making it hard for clothes to dry, especially with the recent continuous drizzle; everything needs to be blown dry with a hair dryer for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main purpose of Jiang Qinqin dragging Zhou Xun out shopping tonight was actually to buy lingerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qinqin seemed to feel it was awkward to have a man six or seven years her junior waiting outside while she bought lingerie, so she grabbed a few items at random and pulled Zhou Xun out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give them to me.\" Lu Kuan reached for the shopping bags out of habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qinqin glared at him: \"Hurry up and walk, I'll carry them myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun giggled from the side: \"Little Daoist, you’ve made the female Bodhisattva blush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't talk nonsense!\" Jiang Qinqin slapped her best friend on the bottom with a *thwack*; though there was little meat, it still jiggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind outside was biting; Lu Kuan had them wait at the entrance while he drove over to pick them up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What would you like to eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qinqin asked curiously: \"The way you say that, it’s like you’re the local landlord. Aren't you from Maoshan? Do you even know Wuxi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am slightly familiar with worldly affairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Kuan recalled his past life when he was invited to Wuxi as a judge for a modeling competition; the romantic encounters with several young models after the event were still vivid in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be tired of big feasts. How about we just wander around a snack street or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun’s eyes lit up when she heard this: \"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a figure that didn't gain weight, which was unique among female stars; at the very least, she was much less restrictive with her diet than Jiang Qinqin, who was on a diet every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Kuan drove to Chong'an Temple, a snack street built in a bustling area with a long history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, you really found it. Impressive, Little Daoist.\" Jiang Qinqin was fully disguised again as she got out of the car, quite surprised by his familiarity with the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place is very famous; I’ve even heard of it up on the mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them dodged the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd as they walked inside; it was Saturday, and the snack street was quite crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Kuan’s tall, upright frame blocked the path in front of the two female stars, giving them a strong sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This little Daoist would actually make a pretty good bodyguard.\" Jiang Qinqin whispered to Zhou Xun behind her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qinqin, are you feeling lonely?\" Zhou Xun teased her best friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I know now. You touched him when you were straightening his clothes earlier, right? How did it feel? Those lean, strong muscles... tsk tsk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qinqin raised her delicate eyebrows: \"Go away. You’re the one always clinging to Li Yapeng, yet you’re making fun of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun was 27 this year, and Jiang Qinqin was a year younger; in this era, female stars weren't into secret marriages or secret romances, and since both were experienced and worldly, their conversation was quite uninhibited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to eat these?\" Lu Kuan couldn't hear what the two were chattering about behind his back; he pointed to the plum blossom cakes, Wang Amei’s sugar taro, and Ding Aliu’s duck blood vermicelli soup on his right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Lu, is there a place to sit?\" Jiang Qinqin wasn't as interested in snacks as Zhou Xun; as a girl from Shancheng, she had a heavy palate and wasn't used to the sweet flavors of the Su-Xi-Chang region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on his height advantage, Lu Kuan scouted for a moment: \"There should be a Virtue Forest ahead, they specialize in vegetarian food. Let's buy some and take it there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group enjoyed a rare moment of leisure; 24 hours ago, Lu Kuan was still drowning his sorrows at a banquet, and if not for the incident where Li Yapeng hit someone last night, Zhou Xun and Jiang Qinqin would have been filming back-to-back for months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life is not easy, Little Lu sighed; touching the 7,000-plus yuan in his pocket, Lu Kuan prepared to contact his senior brother in Jingcheng first and entrust him with registering a consulting company in Beiping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was mainly to avoid legal risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, an entertainment industry insider who knows everything about your past and future for three hundred years is about to take the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three found a corner in the main hall of Virtue Forest to sit down; the two female stars were still fully disguised, only slightly loosening their scarves to start tasting the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun was very hungry; she held a piece of Cai Apo’s chicken pancake in her left hand and stirred the Huishan tofu pudding with a spoon in her right, praising it incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Lu really knows how to find places, delicious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Kuan smiled and scalded two sets of tableware for them; he also picked up some double-mushroom flying swallows to eat, watching Jiang Qinqin continuously pouring chili oil into her bowl, thinking to himself that Shancheng flavors were still the most potent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three ate for a while, slightly easing the hunger in their stomachs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qinqin looked at Lu Kuan across from her and smiled: \"Lu Kuan, when you aren't wearing your Daoist robes, your speech and mannerisms don't show your true colors at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun had been wondering about this in her heart for a while: \"That's right, I seriously suspect you're a fake Daoist; your daily habits look exactly like a normal person's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could drive, knew the way, and could find snack streets; his every move didn't look like a Maoshan Daoist raised in the deep mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be fooled by the Daoists in TV shows and novels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Kuan explained: \"People like us practice at home; apart from our regular studies, we are no different from ordinary people. I at least graduated from high school, and one of my senior brothers even went to university earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But he left the Daoist registry early on, so he’s an exception.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, being a Daoist is just a profession, not an exclusive identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what you said in front of Zhang Dao today, was that all true?\" Jiang Qinqin was somewhat skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been surprised when he pointed out that the crew had stalled because of the Li Yapeng incident, but now, seeing Lu Kuan take off his robes and blend in completely with ordinary people, she felt the filter of mystery had been removed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True or not, you'll know in a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Kuan looked at the two, who were still somewhat doubtful, and smiled: \"You two sisters spent money today, let me calculate your fortunes; ask me anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun and Jiang Qinqin exchanged a glance; one had bought clothes and the other had bought shoes, so they had essentially pooled their money to support a gigolo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calculate my love life then!\" Jiang Qinqin put down her spoon with a dazed look in her eyes and gave the young Daoist priest her birth data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Kuan chuckled inwardly; this man must be Zhang Xiaozheng from *The Bride with White Hair*, right? Could it be that they haven't broken up yet at this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1391,"2026-06-20T06:05:17.358Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","8576e464244bd0a94d57545d57ecadd6f736ebd6ec26166ba91aac434d3c35cb","the-playboy-of-huayu-how-did-a-celestial-immorta-chapter-7","the-playboy-of-huayu-how-did-a-celestial-immorta-chapter-5",343,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-playboy-of-huayu-how-did-a-celestial-immorta-cover.jpg"]
