Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore-Chapter 355: Lin Qingfeng: Her Promise, Never to Be Broken

In the end, Ma Qianyou couldn't withstand Liu Rulan's persuasion and came to the production team to help oversee things.

Of course, Ma Qianyou didn't really need to exert much effort. After all, each investor had arranged for their own people to be involved. The two individuals responsible for the main positions were actually arranged by Jiaxing Entertainment and Xingchen Entertainment. So, Ma Qianyou was essentially just filling a spot. He didn't need to spend much energy on the production team daily, making his life quite carefree.

The director and female lead of the "Cangyue Calamity" production team returned to the set after cooperating with the police investigation.

Whether it was because Tao Zidong's method of using poison to fight poison really worked, or because the master invited by Song Yuanqi to recalculate the opening ceremony was truly effective, the production team finally experienced smooth sailing afterwards, with no major incidents causing trouble again.

However, Xiao He was afraid that long delays might bring more trouble. He also worried that his incident-prone constitution might once again trigger a terrifying explosive reaction with this production team. After discussing it briefly with Liu Rulan, Xiao He used his authority as an investor to have the production team move all his scenes to the very front of the shooting schedule.

He even temporarily postponed the filming of "Record of Chasing the Wind" to a later date. For the storyline in "Cangyue Calamity," he planned to finish shooting all his parts in one go and then leave.

Overall, the character he played was only a second male lead with a relatively important role positioning, but upon careful calculation, his actual screen time wasn't particularly extensive. Many of the scenes were also highly repetitive. Therefore, for Xiao He to pile them together and rush the progress was relatively easy.

The character Xiao He played was named Lin Qingfeng. He was both the senior brother of the sect and the secret crush of the female lead, as well as the host of the Ancient Demon God.

The main reason their sect had been able to be called the number one sect over the years was because the sect had been suppressing an Ancient Demon God, said to be capable of destroying heaven and earth, for generations.

However, as time passed, this legend had faded over the years. Almost no young people remembered this matter anymore. Only the sect's elders and the sect master still kept their mission firmly in mind at all times. In the future, they would pass on such a mission to the next generation of sect elders and sect master, who would then continue guarding this place, ensuring the seal on the Demon God remained intact.

The main principle of the seal was that it required a descendant of the Demon God, connected by bloodline, to continuously nourish the seal with magic power of the same origin—that is, the male lead.

The male lead was originally a mixed-blood descendant left behind in the mortal world by the Demon God. When discovered by the sect, he was already a stillborn fetus without any signs of life. Yet, to maintain the operation of the seal, the old sect master had no choice but to link the male lead's fate with that of their sect, using a portion of the sect's destiny to sustain this stillborn fetus, continuously maintaining his signs of life. This was what allowed the male lead to survive.

The cost was that the male lead's true body could not leave the sect, and he also needed to constantly use his own power to maintain the seal's operation.

This was also the reason within the entire plot of "Cangyue Calamity" why the female lead kept looping and returning to the past after the sect's destruction.

When the female lead was young, she accidentally entered the forbidden grounds and formed a contract with the male lead who was there. The senior brother who came looking for the female lead was instead targeted by the lurking Demon God and became its host.

Unfortunately, no one knew about this at the time, including the senior brother himself.

This laid the groundwork for the subsequent sect annihilation and the time loops...

Overall, knowing the final plot and truth, it wasn't particularly difficult to completely film the story's narrative thread.

Giving the protagonists many red herrings in the early stages was also a normal trope for suspense and loop-type plots. Fortunately, the overall story wasn't drawn out. Calculating roughly, the total number of episodes should be around 20, belonging to the more concise type with relatively fast plot progression.

Xiao He basically spent the entire month of October immersed in this production team. From playing the gentle yet firm senior brother in the early stages to the major villain whose body was taken over by the Demon God in the later stages, Xiao He transitioned seamlessly and with great skill.

The only regret for Xiao He was that he originally thought his scenes of repeatedly killing all the sect members in the loops would repeatedly count heads for him. But actually, most of this plot was filmed in one repetitive shoot. It was equivalent to the same location, the same costumes, the same group of people, just with different types of death scenes.

Xiao He usually only received a points settlement from the system after killing for the last time, which was when the director finalized the scene.

If it weren't for seeing that he was just a little short of breaking one million points, Xiao He really wanted to roast the system a few times, cursing it to death for being such a miser.

...

Set.

Yu Yue, who had died and returned again, now facing the final loop, looked at the senior brother who was about to turn and leave, finally understanding something.

—In this cruel loop, she might be able to save others, but she alone could not save him.

Because his ending had been determined long ago, back during that accident in their youth—and the culprit had actually been her all along.

The joy of childhood, the adoration of youth, the helplessness of now... With tears welling up, she looked at the young man with his upright posture and finally couldn't hold back, calling out, "Senior Brother."

Lin Qingfeng, who had originally been holding his sword and preparing to go out on a mission, stopped in his tracks. He turned his head to look at his junior sister. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

His junior sister used to like doing this too. When they went out on missions, she would stand at the door, watching them leave with reluctant eyes. And when they returned, his junior sister would be standing at the sect gate on time, excitedly welcoming them back.

But this time, looking at his junior sister with tears in her eyes, Lin Qingfeng's brow twitched slightly. Subconsciously, he felt this scene before him was somewhat familiar. He stopped, turned around completely, and quietly gazed at the person on the steps, as if something was awakening within him.

Yet in the end, his face still wore that relaxed, comfortable, and gentle smile. He raised his hand and ruffled his junior sister's head, just like the countless times before, comforting her with the steadiness and resolve of an older brother: "Go back. Everything will be fine."

"No."

The senior brother had lived his life with integrity and righteousness, dedicated to eliminating demons and defending the righteous path. If in the end he knew the Demon God was within him, and that in the future he would use his own body to kill so many people, how sad and painful would he be?

Her abrupt warnings in previous loops had resulted in a painful price paid in blood and tears, so she didn't dare to gamble now.

She could only say, "Senior Brother, can we make a promise?"

Lin Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled exceptionally brightly: "Sure."

They used to make such promises often when they were young. It's just that later, Yu Yue became aware of her own feelings of adoration and grew particularly reserved, so she never made such seemingly childish promises with the senior brother again.

"Then I..."

The young girl on the steps looked at the person before her with tear-filled eyes. The ribbons of her sect uniform fluttered gently in the breeze. That small face was exquisite as a painting, beautiful and captivating, yet it couldn't surpass the hint of tearful rosy glow at the corners of her eyes.

"Then I hope Senior Brother promises me that you will always be my senior brother, that you will always be able to hold true to your original heart."

—Always as clear and bright as the gentle breeze, always as pure as the white moon's light.

He was the senior brother of the number one sect, the bright light that she, Yu Yue, could no longer pursue, the pillar of support that everyone trusted unconditionally, the... leader of the righteous path that even the Demon God could not suppress.

Lin Qingfeng was somewhat astonished, yet he was unusually silent for a moment.

Yu Yue grew anxious and urged, "Senior Brother, promise quickly!"

—Just as a senior brother?

Lin Qingfeng looked at the person before him, his lips moving slightly. Finally, he broke into a smile. In that moment, the young man before her was dressed in white as pure as snow, his bearing as steadfast as a pine tree.

He had returned to being that sect's Senior Brother who was open and aboveboard, treating others with gentleness and kindness. It was as if that momentary hesitation was merely a passing guest unrelated to romantic affairs.

"Okay."

Lin Qingfeng said.

Her promise, he would never go against it.
