It was as if Qin Zhuo and Wan Shishi had become plants. They sat down and remained rooted to the spot, unable to move.
Feng Lanchu smiled at the two. She handed them some glucose and did not forget to rub it in.
“I already told you all to keep calm and not to get too excited. You two are suffering now, aren’t you?”
“I have already done as my research said and took altitude sickness medication one week before coming.” Wan Shishi felt rather speechless. “I didn’t expect to get altitude sickness still.”
“The medication is just an aid. If you think you’re invincible after taking medicine, you are going to suffer.” Feng Lanchu squatted down beside the two.
“Miss, why is there so much water here?” Qin Zhuo was full of questions.
Feng Lanchu propped her chinned up and looked at the beautiful snow mountain before saying, “According to geological history, there was a vast ocean here four million years ago. The average elevation of the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was only 1,000 meters 2 million years ago. Later, after 2 million years of tectonic shifting and evolution, the average elevation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau rose to 4,000 meters. Mount Everest also become the highest peak in the world.
“So this is all frozen seawater?” Qin Zhuo was stunned. “The… the world has changed so much. It’s like it’s from an apocalyptic novel.
“You can think of it like that too.”
Qin Zhuo was 19 years old. If he were not a celebrity, he would be a freshman or a second-year student in university. Feng Lanchu treated the chatty kid as if he were her student.
Divergent thinking contributes to the development of creativity, so Feng Lanchu was glad to see Qin Zhuo doing that.
The group stayed at Yuzhu peak for a while. After taking a group photo, Qin Zhuo suggested, “Director, let’s go to the entrance of the Kunlun Mountain since we are already here at Yuzhu Peak.”
“Yeah, it’s not that far anyway.” Li Yue chimed in agreement.
The director looked at the group with raised brows. “You all have altitude sickness, and you still want to go?”
“I have already recovered after drinking Miss Feng’s divine water.” Qin Zhuo answered carelessly.
“No, no. Don’t give me credit.” Feng Lanchu waved her hands nervously. “It would be bad to give our viewers the wrong impression.”
“Haha, for real. My friends, if you want to visit Hoh Xil, please consult the walking encyclopedia that’s Miss Feng first.” Qin Zhuo said and hooked his arms around Feng Lanchu’s shoulders. He asked, “Miss Feng, what’s your Weibo handle? Get the production team to help you to promote it so more people will follow you.”
Feng Lanchu looked at him awkwardly and answered, “I don’t have Weibo.”
She did not have a public account. She just had a private one. She used to follow gossip.
“Miss Feng is focused on research. Don’t come up with ideas that will cause her trouble.” Li Yue spoke up for Feng Lanchu.
The director couldn’t hold up against the requests from the group and brought them to the entrance of Kunlun Mountain.
The entrance of Kunlun Mountain was not far away from Yufeng Peak. They could see the whole of Yufeng Peak up close from there.
“They all say that you can get into Kunlun from here. I have filmed several fantasy dramas, but this is my first time in Kunlun.”
Li Yue was very emotional as he stood at the entrance of Kunlun Mountain. “Legend says that those who have the potential to become a deity will meet a master here. I wonder if we will be able to meet one.”
“Yes.” Qin Zhuo’s mind worked very quickly. He pointed at Feng Lanchu and said, “Master.”
Over the last two days, Qin Zhuo had already become a fan of Feng Lanchu. He often hung around her and had many questions for her. Feng Lanchu did not get tired of answering his questions either. Every time Qin Zhuo asked a question, she would answer him tirelessly. She would use easily understood words and answer his questions with good humor. Qin Zhuo would listen to her explanation with great interest every time.
It was as if they had all taken an exciting outdoor practical class, and they enjoyed it very much.
When they heard Qin Zhuo pointing at Feng Lanchu and calling her ‘master,’ they all laughed and nodded in agreement.
“That’s right. Miss Feng is indeed the Master of our show.”
“Nature is our teacher. I am just a mover of knowledge.” Feng Lanchu waved her hands and said humbly.
Jiang Anzhi, standing by the side, smiled slightly, revealing the dimples on his cheeks.
