Chapter 407 - He was Really Cruel to Himself



Chapter 407: He was Really Cruel to Himself

“But didn’t the Qin Dynasty use the black bird too?” Li Meng asked as he had some doubts about Jiang Yuning’s answer.

“‘The fate of the mysterious bird, the bird of the merchant.’ I can only remember this sentence.”

The other guests nodded their head after listening to Jiang Yuning’s answer because they did not expect Jiang Yuning to have such vast historical knowledge. Moreover, she actually knew a saying from the Shang Dynasty. What else could they say? They were absolutely convinced!

Of course, in addition to being convinced about her knowledge, they were also very curious about Jiang Yuning.

“Yuning, you are really a variety king. You have also shown an amazing amount of knowledge when you recorded the other variety program in the past. I am really very curious. How do you do it?” The host asked as he held the microphone in his hand.

“In fact, there is really not much to exaggerate about this matter. Everyone knows that I used to do my homework and I made all the necessary preparations before taking part in my previous variety show. Aside from that, I guess I am just really blessed with a very good memory,” Jiang Yuning replied in a serious manner.

“Well, for a moment, I actually though that you had a mobile library in your head that you can just type whatever you want to find in the search button inside and it will pop out immediately!”

“If I were really blessed with that skill, I would not keep this knowledge to myself. I would definitely use it to make more money!”

“Hahaha...” The audience could not help it burst out in laughter at this time.

Moreover, the atmosphere also became lighter because of Jiang Yuning’s joke.

“Okay then, do any of the other guests have any objections to the answer, black bird?”

At this time, the other two guests and Lin Kaiyan shook their heads.

“Then, let’s get our expert team to give us the right answer.”

As soon as the spotlight was shining on the expert team, one of the experts picked up the microphone before she answered, “In fact, Jiang Yuning’s answer is accurate. This is the story behind it...”

After that, the expert continued explaining the difference between the black bird during the Shang Dynasty and the black bird during the Qin Dynasty.

Finally, she smiled before she added, “It seems as though Yuning really has a very good memory. Yuning, do you enjoy studying the country’s history?”

“I really enjoyed all my history classes when I was still in school. Moreover, I like to look at anything related to history when I was bored,” Jiang Yuning replied once again. “However, I really don’t remember much about our history. I can only remember certain important cultures and words.”

After listening to Jiang Yuning, the expert simply gave her a thumbs up gesture.

“Wow!” The host could only sigh. “I guess our production team will also have to start worrying about their hairlines soon.”

The audience could not help but laugh once again when they heard what the host said. Of course, this also refreshed the impressions and the perception that they had of Jiang Yuning.

Indeed, academic qualifications do not define a person’s talents.

How far a person is able to go in life is not determined by the certification that they have.

The two guests also silently thought to themselves at this time. This young girl’s knowledge was really not limited to high school standard alone. What she was revealing to everyone now was simply the tip of the iceberg.

Therefore, Jiang Yuning really held back earlier because she was looking out for Lin Kaiyan.

However, Lin Kaiyan did not seem to appreciate it at all.

“No...no...no...please do not kill me like this. I am just lucky because I have a good memory,” Jiang Yuning replied in a humble manner.

“Alright then. After this, we will move on to the next stage,” the host replied immediately. “We have briefly recalled some aspects and characteristics from the Shang Dynasty earlier. After this, we want to have a better understanding of the cultural background of the Shang Dynasty. At this time, we would like to invite our guest performer, Su Jinhang, to perform a dance for us.”

Jiang Yuning froze for a moment as soon as she heard the words ‘Su Jinhang’.

However, when the performers came on stage, no one could see their faces at all.

This was because the dance ritual that Su Jinhang was performing was a witch dance derived from a ritual performed during the Shang Dynasty. Everyone had costumes on and they were wearing masks to cover their faces.

In fact, Jiang Yuning felt that it was very refreshing because she was seeing this dance for the first time in her life.

Although it was only a short five-minute performance, it seemed as though the dance had successfully restored the scenes where sacrifices were made in the past.

When the ancient music came to an abrupt end, the audience started applauding immediately and the back up dancers also made their way backstage. At this time, only Su Jinhang stayed behind on stage.

“Come, Jinhang, please take off your mask and greet our guests and the audience,” the host said as he brought Su Jinhang to the centre of the stage.

Su Jinhang subsequently removed his bronze mask, revealing a clean and handsome face that was covered with sweat before he greeted everyone in the studio.

“Hello, everyone. I am Su Jinhang.”

“Oh no. It’s such a waste that such a handsome face was hidden behind that mask throughout the entire performance. However, Jinhang, I must say that you dance really well.”

“Thank you, Teacher Xiaoxiao. I would also like to seize this opportunity to say hello to my idol. May I?” Su Jinhang asked the host as he wiped the sweat off his face.

“Oh? Your idol is also here tonight? Who is it?”

“It’s Brother Kaiyan. I really enjoy watching all of his drama,” Su Jinhang replied as he smiled.

At this time, Lin Kaiyan also smiled back at Su Jinhang.

“Can I take a picture with you, Brother Kaiyan?” Su Jinhang asked as he gasped for air.

“Of course,” Lin Kaiyan replied immediately. At this time, Lin Kaiyan got up from his chair before he walked over to Su Jinhang. After that, the production crew helped to take a picture of both of them together.

Jiang Yuning had a very complicated mood when she witnessed this scene.

She felt that this young boy was very complicated indeed. Lin Kaiyan had pushed him aside during the awards ceremony and after that, Lin Kaiyan’s assistant had pushed him back again just to make way for Lin Kaiyan to pass by. Su Jinhang was made a laughing stock that night and he should have felt very embarrassed then.

How could he bring himself to say that Lin Kaiyan was his idol?

He was really cruel to himself.

Jiang Yuning could tell that Su Jinhang had no intention of bootlicking or getting into Lin Kaiyan’s good books. Jiang Yuning could only assume that Su Jinhang simply wanted to remind himself of the gap between both of them. He wanted to push himself further and set a goal for himself in this manner.

But this was really too cruel!

“I also have one last wish. Could I ask Sister Yuning to cheer for me?”

Jiang Yuning looked at the young boy before she nodded her head. However, Jiang Yuning did not simply cheer for him.

Instead, Jiang Yuning said, “Tolerate all the humiliation and strive hard to achieve all your goals!”

Su Jinhang thanked Jiang Yuning as he held back the tears in his eyes. This was because Jiang Yuning really understood what he was feeling inside.

“Okay then. Thank you for your hard work and great performance, Jinhang. We shall ask him to go backstage to rest now. Next, we will ask the props team to bring some costume up on stage. After that, we will have a discussion on the dance ritual and all the horrible stories behind the rituals that were done. At this time, I would like to ask the guests if they know anything about any of these rituals at all? This time, Yuning should hold back and give the others a chance to speak first!”

Jiang Yuning turned around and looked at the audience and her support team as she shrugged innocently.

“It’s over. Another production team is out to blacklist her soon.”
