Chapter 97: The Task Begins, Heading Towards Snow Country

  Everyone discussed the process of this task carefully and then started chatting. Meng Ling didn't feel much about what happened before, so he went out directly and just came back now. If you ask Meng Ling what he did when he just went out, it's a very interesting thing.

  She used the Eight Trigrams Mirror's teleportation ability to directly arrive at the back mountain, and under the circumstances of no one being present, she summoned 'Haro' from the Chaos Colored Jade. Immediately after that, she also sang alone for half an hour on the back mountain, and after rekindling her hobby again, Meng Leng returned to the crew once more. Seeing that Kakashi and others had already reached a consensus, Meng Leng sat down as well.

  "Mei Ling, where did you just go? Why are you only coming now? We were just discussing the progress of our mission." Kakashi asked with some dissatisfaction.

  "There's nothing, just went for a walk, besides I already know what the purpose of this task is, as for the rest, it's better to let Kakashi-sensei with a brighter mind handle it, these things I can't do." said Mugen lazily.

  "Hmm, that's also true." Kakashi really couldn't tell whether Maito was praising or belittling himself, but he just let it go.

  "You just called her Meng Ling? Are you...?" Just then, the sharp-eared director happened to hear a phrase that excited him. He couldn't help but immediately ask Meng Ling, who was standing idly by.

  "No, you've got the wrong person." Meng Ling interrupted the director's words without saying another word, but in her heart, she had already scolded Kakashi thoroughly. It seemed that being a teacher was indeed a troublesome job. She didn't want to do something bothersome just because of her reputation, and now it had gotten worse - Kakashi had directly revealed his identity.

  "No, I'm not mistaken, um, whether it's hair color or eyes, they're exactly the same as the poster, although you're masked, but I absolutely won't recognize wrong, you are that very famous singer from Damingfu - Shen Ruyue Mengling." The director took out a poster from somewhere and compared it with Mengling sitting there, then said very affirmatively.

  "What's the point of knowing? Director, you should know that this time I'm here as a ninja to carry out my mission." Meng Leng glared at Kakashi with a fierce gaze and then spread his hands, asking calmly.

  "We've been looking for you everywhere, originally planning to go to the Daming Fu to ask you to collaborate with Snow Ying Miss to shoot a play, but later heard that you are no longer performing, it turns out that you have become a ninja in Konoha Village." The director muttered to himself, seemingly deep in thought.

  "Alas, Kakashi-sensei, it seems that apart from your habit of being late, you've also developed a habit of talking too much." Looking at the director who was no longer responding, Mugen expressed her dissatisfaction with Kakashi.

  "Ah, sorry, sorry! I wasn't paying attention and... Hehe!" Kakashi scratched his spiky hair, laughing as he said it, but Meiying couldn't sense any apology in his expression.

  "I'd like to ask, are you interested in collaborating with Miss Yukiye on this production of 'The Wind and Cloud Princess'? You know, the Guardian Angel's comeback is bound to generate a lot of buzz." The director asked enticingly.

  "No, I'm not interested. My current profession is just a ninja, the life of a songstress has ended, now it's just my hobby." Meng Ling rejected the director's request without hesitation.

  "But this time, even if I don't participate, I think that by the time we fight against the ninja from Snow Country, this possessed director will probably film everything anyway." Meng Ling thought to herself with some distress. However, in her heart, she had already made her own preparations, and for the sake of this mission, Meng Ling steeled herself and went ahead.

  "Alas, the two great stars of yesteryear, one has already retired from the art world, and the other is running around frantically just to film a movie. It seems that the loss to the art world will not be small." The director also couldn't help but sigh at this point.

  Right after that, everyone chatted for a while and then went out to find the protagonist of this movie - Fugui. During the conversation, Meng Ling was also pulled away by staff members to sign a few autographs as mementos, which Meng Ling naturally wouldn't refuse, so he did it readily. At this time, Meng Ling and others had already learned that Fugui was now drinking alone in a small tavern, and they immediately rushed over.

  ————I am that gorgeous dividing line————

  At the same time that Meng Ling and others were rushing to the tavern, Ming Ren also found Fu Shi Feng Xue Hui in the tavern, who was dissatisfied and vented his anger for a while. After that, Meng Ling and others also arrived at the tavern.

  "Yuki-e-san." Just as they entered the tavern, San-daifu called out loudly without even seeing Fuji Kaze Yuki-e's figure. After spotting Fuji Kaze Yuki-e, San-daifu immediately shouted: "The ship to Yukikuni is about to depart, if we don't hurry..."

  "That's enough." Before the director could finish his words, Xue Hua interrupted him and said slowly: "I don't want to continue playing Feng Yun princess anymore."

  "What are you talking about?" The three masters were immediately shocked when they heard Xue Hua's words.

  "What's the big deal? Isn't it often the case that such things happen? By the time the sequel comes around, the main character has changed and the director has been replaced..."

  "Enough..." San Daifu loudly interrupted Xue Hua's words and said, "The only one who can play the role of Feng Yun princess is you, no one else can surpass you." San Daifu said slowly. But Xue Hua continued to drink her own wine as if nothing had happened.

  "If you leave this time, you will never have a job opportunity in this industry again." San Da Fu continued to say, looking at Xue Hua's calm appearance.

  "Nothing's wrong, just as you like."

  "Miss Xue Hua." San Da Fu wanted to continue persuading her.

  "It can't be helped." With that, Kakashi used his Sharingan to cast a genjutsu on Yuki, knocking her out. However, by the time he did so, Mei Terumi's figure had already vanished.

  "So she had a hexagonal crystal after all." At this time, the drunkard who was outside the tavern walked away. But...

  "Is that so? Are you guys having a hard time finding it?" Just then, Meng Ling's cold voice rang out in front of the drunkard.

  "Huh?" The drunkard only let out a soft, puzzled sound, and the next moment, he was gone forever from this world.

  "Divine Fire - Unknown Fire." At this time, the flames on Meng Ling's right hand jumped continuously until they gradually disappeared. Meanwhile, the hat of the drunkard was caught in Meng Ling's hand. After taking a look at the small paper strip inside with some special symbols written on it, Meng Ling threw the hat into a trash can by the roadside. He then turned around and left the scene with Kakashi and others.

  ————I am that gorgeous dividing line————

  The next morning, Kakashi and Naruto, who had boarded the ship the night before, were already on the deck enjoying the view of the sea. Although the surrounding waters were a vast expanse of blue, the calm surface was occasionally broken by unknown fish jumping out of the water, creating layers of ripples that disappeared into thin air. A few seagulls flew scattered across the sky, and everything seemed very peaceful.

  "Yo, everyone's up early." Meng Ling had just arrived on the deck and greeted her teammates.

  "Morning." Everyone responded in unison and continued their appreciation. (Of course, Kakashi was naturally appreciating the A book in his hand.)

  "What's going on?" Just then, Yuki also rushed out of the cabin and exclaimed in surprise when she saw that she was already on the boat.

  Immediately after, the crew began filming. During this time, the director also came to find Meng Ling and asked if she really couldn't assist with the filming, but was rejected by Meng Ling.

  Joke, if I were to take on this thankless job at the stall now, Meng Ling's troubles would never end, not to mention that there will be battles waiting for Meng Ling later, and Meng Ling doesn't want to miss them.

  "That sister, I saw her being a bit afraid." Naruto said with some helplessness.

  "What are you saying, Naruto? No matter what, that person is someone we have to protect. This is an important mission." Kakashi said.

  "A mission?" Naruto looked puzzled.

  "Not bad, it's an A-rank mission," Kakashi said.

  "An A-rank mission?" Naruto was taken aback.

  "It's just being a bodyguard for an actress, I don't think it's that hard." Sasuke said lazily.

  "No, Sasuke. Famous people are always being targeted by all sorts of individuals. And who knows what kind of person they are, you can't be too careful." Kakashi said as he glanced at Mei Terumi who was gazing out at the sea nearby.

  "I say, Kakashi-sensei, could you please not look at me with such a lecherous gaze? It's really uncomfortable, don't you know?" Dreaming seemed to have felt Kakashi's gaze and shuddered, making an appearance of feeling a chill run down her spine as she spoke.

  "Hmm..." After hearing Meng Ling's words, he also saw that the three of them had a playful look on their faces. Kakashi could only continue reading "The Art of Seduction" in his hand.

  The day passed like this, and Meng Ling and others just kept watching the crew of "Fuji Wind and Snow" filming. To be honest, the process of filming a movie is really boring. In the end, Meng Ling didn't have the mood to continue watching, so she directly summoned Haru out and went alone to the cabin to sing songs.

  As a result, when it was time to eat, everyone on the ship asked Meng Leng to sing, and so, without being stingy with her voice, Meng Leng sang "Silent Night" under the accompaniment of "Haru", occasionally bringing bursts of warm applause. After dinner, Feng Yun Gong Zhu and Shou Hu Tian Shi, two superstars in the art world, stayed in their own rooms, starting a night of heart-to-heart conversation. (Meng Leng's current body is female, so she was living with Xue Hua in the same room.)
