Chapter fifty-four

Three days later

The day came for Hou Yi and Xi Wang to attend the variety show. Director Ang fully gave his support for them to attend as it is good publicity for their drama. It is also another way to slap the faces of the public that heavily protest Xi Wang as leading actress of his drama. Director Ang had known from Hou Yi that Xi Wang's wedding will be in a few more days, so he had especially arranged for her drama to be broadcast on the night of her wedding.

As usual Xiang Ni and Tang Yan followed them towards the set of the variety show. It was just nice that Hou Yi previous manager contract had ended not long after he had reunited with Xi Wang, so he had also sign on for Tang Yan to be his manager also. As Tang corporation had an entertainment branch under them that rank top five in the world with quite a few internationally famous actor and actress under their belt. So Hou Yi and Xi Wang do not need to worry about the lack of resources.

This variety show format will be a live broadcast with a live audience. But Hou Yi do not fear this as he had at least learned eighty percent of Xi Wang skills in C country traditional arts in the previous world. Hou Yi in the previous world have no need of this skills as the traditional arts in this world is just a form of casual entertainment. So Hou Yi had learn from Xi Wang when she was free to teach him.

When they reach the set, the live broadcast has not started yet but the live audience was already there. From the information that Tang Yan had gave to Xi Wang, she could recognize a few yawning and bored government representative of C country from the Chinese chess, guzheng, archery and the Chinese art and calligraphy association. Good, Xi Wang knew that at the end of this variety show will end with the representatives chasing after her to sign on to their association. This is how confident Xi Wang is of her skills in the traditional arts.

The set of the variety show is built into a few mini sets for Chinese chess, art, calligraphy and guzheng respectively. And of course, there is a large outdoor set with an archery range. As Xi Wang is bored, she walks towards one of the horses waiting on the archery range and suavely jumped on top of the horse.

Of course, Xi Wang was too engrossed in playing by herself that she did not notice that the director of the variety show had already given the signal to start the broadcast when he had noticed Xi Wang walking towards the archery range. Of course, even if Xi Wang knew that the director is cursing her on why she started to play around on the sets almost causing him to miss capturing her actions, she also will not be bothered about it.

The director of this variety show knew of the protest online about this new actress and wanted to use Xi Wang as a tool to increase the views of his show. Once Xi Wang was on top of the horse, the feeling of being in the third ancient world came back to her.

Xi Wang had worn an arrow pouch on her back that she gotten from a nearby table. As her hands were itchy, Xi Wang also swipe some arrows from other pouches on the table to put in the arrow pouch that she was wearing. Xi Wang immediately took three arrows from the arrow pouch and with one swift move, place it on the bow and let it loose.

Xi Wang target was the three arrow boards that was placed twenty meters away. Of course, before Xi Wang jumped on top of the horse, she had already started the button to let the arrow boards start moving. Xi Wang is itching to shoot in other ways so while using her legs to balance herself on the moving horse. Xi Wang subsequently shoot three arrows in one go while lying flat on the horse and hanging upside down from the horse. Of course, while on the horse, Xi Wang stay fully blindfolded the whole way. Once Xi Wang conquer the archery range of the twenty meters arrow boards, she moved her way towards the chess set. Xi Wang is just not interested in arrow boards that are placed less than twenty meter away from her.

Of course, Xi Wang was too engrossed to notice the havoc that she was creating and Xiang Ni standing out of the camera range with Tang Yan while looking at his honey proudly. The start of the live broadcast fully display how evil humans could be at the comments that run throughout the screen. But very soon the direction of the comments changes as the public look at Xi Wang expertly working her way through the sets.

It was a halfway play chess set that was display on the chess board and even for an expert chess player like Xi Wang, there was still some difficulty. For a Chinese chess set with two people playing there is already a certain difficulty level to play it to the end. But Xi Wang is confident that she alone could work through the whole chess set on her own.

Of course, Xi Wang never knew that this chess set that is only of some difficulty to her is different to other current chess players in this world now. This Chinese chess set in their field is a well-known ancient Chinese chess set that up to now could not be solved even by C country current Chinese chess master, Xu Yi.

In the current Chinese chess field competition, although C country is the origins of Chinese chess, they face great scorn as they regularly lost. It was only in individual Chinese chess competition when they send out Xu Yi then C country is unbeatable. Recently the government representative that were tasked to find a person to replace Xu Yi as he is too old and need to retire from the Chinese chess field soon. The government representative very soon went bald at the stress.

An explosion went throughout the messages that flashed through the live broadcast when it was noticed that Xu Yi had used his government verified social media account to leave a message. The explosion is caused as Xu Yi had use his social media account less than five times ever since he was given the account.

And the five times Xu Yi use is not to leave a message and is used just to promote Chinese chess. Another reason for the explosion is that Xu Yi had left the message that a younger generation had finally been found to take over his place. Now only a few keyboard warriors are left online struggling to protest Xi Wang just for the sake of protesting.
