Chapter 1183: Vanguard Guild Casting Production Center
"You are?" Wei Xing raised an eyebrow when he noticed the voice hailed from a beautiful woman.
Her appearance was actually no less inferior to the Guild Commander—Demoness.
Wei Xing nearly forgot that there was a new rank section that had been added and was equivalent to the Guild Commander. The authority and rank were the same, but the title itself was exclusive to Carmen.
"Ah, pardon my late introduction." Ling Qingxue realized she was a bit abrupt in her intervention.
"I’m Ling Qingxue, aka Iceheart of the Phoenix Guild." She introduced herself.
’Ling Qingxue? Iceheart...’ Dumbfounded, Wei Xing didn’t expect to encounter a comrade from the past large-scale dungeon raid here.
’She can’t be another crazy woman whom the Guild Leader mentioned, right?’ He panicked internally and worried that there might be some incorrect data in the intel.
The crazy woman should have been plural, right?
"Tsk, so it’s the Phoenix Guild." Evelyn rolled her eyes and snorted. "And here I thought it was some big guild. What rights do you have to follow along with us to meet the Honorary Elder?"
Without a doubt, Evelyn’s clear hostility was obvious to everyone.
She clearly thought Ling Qingxue was trying to snatch the man she desired.
Ling Qingxue also understood her stance and smiled lightly.
"Relax, Miss Evelyn. I have no interest in the Honorary Elder. I just thought following along could help me connect with their Guild Leader." She explained her motive.
"Is that so?" Evelyn stared at her with a suspicious look. ’So she’s into their despicable Guild Leader and not Cool Wind. What kind of sick woman was she to be interested in someone like Lin Feng?’
Realizing that she wasn’t a threat anymore, Evelyn nodded her head.
"Might as well go together. It’s just right that the more the merrier." She calmly said.
Ling Qingxue smiled lightly.
As the two came to a consensus, Wei Xing was flabbergasted on the spot.
’What just happened?’ Earlier, he could smell the gunpowder emitting, but now he felt like the two had suddenly become good friends.
"Still dilly-dallying around? Do you really want to get beaten?" Evelyn’s thunderous voice snapped Wei Xing out of his confusion.
He could only nod his head and comply with the request.
At the same time, he cursed his despicable Guild Leader repeatedly. ’Damn Guild Leader! I’ll never listen to you again if I have to deal with crazy women!’

"Achoo!"
"Are you alright, Brother Wind?" Chen Kexin, Li Sheng Xuan, and Ding Xiao Ying turned to him with an alarmed expression.
Everything was fine just now, but Xu Feng suddenly sneezed so loudly.
Worst of all, he was still wearing a face mask, so one could imagine that some snot must have gotten into his mouth. Or at least that was their own imagination.
"I’m alright." Xu Feng raised his hand and dispelled their thoughts. It was just a loud sneeze. He didn’t sneeze out any mucus whatsoever.
"I wonder if the sneeze happens because Brother Wind has caused many to curse at him for enjoying three lovely beauties." Li Sheng Xuan teased.
"It’s a wet dream for many men." Ding Xiao Ying nodded and admitted that Xu Feng really lucked out big time.
After all, they had planned out many steamy kiss scenes and exciting plotlines.
"Transmigrated to Daxia Dynasty as Young Master of the Vanguard Clan!" Chen Kexin exclaimed the title of their short drama with great enthusiasm.
"Such a cliche yet enticing title will surely garner lots of viewers."
The Daxia Dynasty was completely fictional in the setting, so they weren’t restricted to adding many modernized elements into the plot.
"I think it’s time to start inviting people waiting outside to come in for the audition." Xu Feng cleared his throat and made sure they didn’t get sidetracked.
Because of the increased budget, he planned on filling each cast with above-average talent.
Even the extra characters must be carefully chosen.
With Xu Feng giving the green light signal, the three of them also nodded their heads.
Almost immediately, their demeanor and expression changed.
They no longer appeared playful or carefree. Instead, they all held a solemn and stern expression.
Needless to say, they weren’t going to go easy on the auditioner.
"We’ll choose the extras first, followed by supporting characters." Chen Kexin said.
"We’ll finish casting those first, leaving two major roles that required heavy screening."
The two major roles were naturally the main antagonist and the neutral yet powerful character in the Daxia Dynasty: the female emperor.
Although Xu Feng had suggested one of them take the role of the female emperor, they all rejected the role.
After all, the female emperor could be said to be a spectator, aka the viewers who would witness the fierce rise of the Vanguard Clan.
Depending on the situation, the female emperor could either become hostile or friendly with the male protagonist.
But the main reason why the three of them were rejected to play the role was quite simple. They didn’t want to have less screentime with Xu Feng.
The three of them all chose their respective expertise roles.
Chen Kexin would play as Kexin, a female cultivator who acts as a bodyguard for Xu Feng.
Li Sheng Xuan would play the gentle yet passionate fiancée of Xu Feng.
Meanwhile, Ding Xiao Ying cleverly coveted the prized role of the loyal maid who would serve the young master wholeheartedly.
The maid role was very cliché, yet almost every viewer loved it the most.
Not only did they never abandon the male protagonist, but they even stuck with them at their lowest.
Who didn’t love such a character?
Moreover, the maid always believed in the young master even if everyone else doubted his ability.
Sometime later, the first batch of the group entered the casting center with a nervous expression.
"Feel free to act however you want." Xu Feng calmly instructed with very minimal criteria. He wanted to see what their acting range was when given the freedom to choose any of the available roles.
