Chapter 35
The producer’s introduction was sudden, not giving Qiao Anhao any time to prepare, but she still stood up gracefully . Nodding towards the table of people, she spoke in a clear voice, “Nice to meet you, I am Qiao Anhao . I hope we have a pleasant time working together, thank you . “
When she finished her introduction, producer Sun applauded .
Song Xiangsi, who had been eating in silence the whole time, looked up at Qiao Anhao when she introduced herself . She observed and studied the newcomer, her eyes filling with doubt .
Once the applause stopped, producer Sun seemed to want to get closer to Lu Jinnian . He said, “Mr . Lu, Qiao Anhao is your partner in the show . “
Lu Jinnian lifted his eyes, glancing in Qiao Anhao’s direction .
Her palms started to sweat as she desperately tried to stay calm .
No one around the table was aware of their relationship and treated them as two strangers . Hence, producer Sun turned towards Qiao Anhao . “Anhao, stop being silly, hurry and greet Mr . Lu . Try to familiarize yourself with him, it’ll be useful . “
Producer Sun’s words ignited yet another wave of nerves . Qiao Anhao braced herself as she stood up, lifting the glass in front of her . Using a formal tone, she said, “Mr . Lu, nice to meet you, I hope we’ll have a good time working together . “
Lu Jinnian remained seated, indifferent . Looking down, he stared at his wine glass .
Qiao Anhao exerted more strengthen with the hand holding the wine glass . She had always known that he didn’t like her and had tried her best to act as strangers whenever they were in public, but now that she was forced to greet him publicly, he wasn’t even going to acknowledge her?
After a long time, Lu Jinnian blinked . Without even looking at Qiao Anhao, he lifted his glass, finishing the wine inside .

Qiao Anhao heaved a sigh of relief . Lifting up her wine glass hurriedly, she downed the contents and retreated to her seat .
But before she could get seated properly, she heard a sharp voice ringing, “Qiao Anhao must have really good luck to be able to work with Lu Jinnian as a newbie . “
Lin Shiyi was the one who spoke . Even though her words seemed harmless, if someone was to dissect them, they would know that she was focusing on “newbie” and not her luck .
As a newcomer, she was able to work with Lu Jinnian, and had even managed to snatch a role from Lin Shiyi, who had been in the industry for such a long time . . . It definitely wasn’t luck .
In an instance, everyone started suspecting the means Qiao Anhao had used to get her role .

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.

Grace
