Chapter 1023 Crossroads

The noise at the scene suddenly became a little solid, and even the tourists gathered in front of the bar put down their wine glasses and turned their attention to the troupe.

Mei couldn't help but be stunned, "When I was in the old capital, I was attacked by Mr. Cajin——"

"Guide, right? That's why he doesn't want to see you." The steward lowered his voice and said, "Your Excellency Cajun is very disappointed in you, Miss May."

Although these words were spoken in her ears, her companions still heard the other party's answer, and May felt her hand being grasped by Irene in an instant.

This statement is harsher than an accusation, especially when it comes from a master of the theater world. For younger generations, their blame can be either criticism or encouragement with high hopes, but disappointment has another meaning entirely. If it were her three years ago, she would probably be at a loss on the spot and even sob.

But the first thing she thinks of now is not herself.

She has been the Star of the West for many years and the mainstay of the Star Flower Troupe. She has a considerable degree of self-confidence in both her acting skills and abilities. If even she was hit hard by this, what would Eileen and Tina do behind her? Not to mention Yanzi, who has great talent but lacks self-confidence.

Therefore, Mei found herself unexpectedly calm.

She took a breath and responded methodically, "Really? I think there may be some misunderstanding. It would be best if I could explain it in person. If not, I can only apologize here."

As if he didn't expect her to respond so lightly, the steward couldn't help but frowned, "You..."

"Anyway, I hope Mr. Cajun can take a step further in drama and make new breakthroughs in the ceremony, so we won't bother you anymore." She took two steps, then turned back and said, "Also, please don't call me Miss Mei. , I am now Lady Lannis."

The weather did not change on the way back, but Mei felt that the sky was much gloomier. The group fell silent, completely losing the liveliness and excitement they had when they first set off.

It wasn't until they were about to leave that Gate couldn't help but ask, "Lord Mei, are you really with Master Cajin?"

"Idiot, what stupid things you said!" Luo Xia glared at him fiercely, "If Sister Mei had really had a problem with him before, how could she take the initiative to visit him? Isn't that asking for trouble! What a disappointment! , I think it’s just jealousy.”

Everyone took a breath and looked at her in disbelief.

"Hey... the person you are talking about is the drama master of Graycastle..."

"Originally," Rosia said angrily, "Neverwinter City has become the new royal capital, and the Star Flower Troupe is the most popular performing group in the West. Their status has declined, so naturally they won't give us a good look. . I followed Sister Mei Yi all the way from Changge to Border Town. After she came back from the old capital, she never had any contact with the Cajun Troupe. Where does the word disappointment come from? To put it bluntly, she looks down on our stars. Hua has only been established for a short time and is not famous in the eyes of the nobles."

"Is that so?" Erin said with a look of sudden realization.

Probably because Luo Xia's grievance was so righteous, everyone regained some energy.

"I asked why the steward didn't dare to look directly at Mrs. Mei. It seems that he was feeling guilty..."

"So Master Cajin doesn't want to see Sister Mei Yi for this reason?"

"That's weird!" Mei finally couldn't help rolling her eyes, "With his reputation, why does he need to be jealous of me? Outside the Western Region, almost no one knows who I am, but in the entire Graycastle, Even in the Kingdom of Dawn, many people have heard of the name Cajin Feisi. The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it is!"

Everyone immediately shrank their necks.

"Anyway, this is the end of the matter, do you understand?" Mei clapped her hands, "Go back, we will continue filming tomorrow!"

Back home, Carter asked about the visit during dinner chat.

And she got over the matter in just a few words.

Whatever the reason, May didn't want to involve her husband.

After all, this is just a conflict within the theater community.

The next few days of filming went very smoothly. The depressed atmosphere she was worried about did not appear. On the contrary, probably because everyone was holding their breath, the final scene of the decisive battle in the palace was performed exceptionally well, which even Getter rarely saw. He performed at an extraordinary level and would never rest until his movements were in place. This atmosphere even inspired the entire Xinghua Troupe, which opened the eyes of newcomers who had just entered the industry.

During the period, some people speculated whether it was precisely because of Master Cajin's guidance that the actors suddenly started working hard.

This also made Mei feel a little relieved.

It seems that the accident at the Whistle Inn did not have much impact on the troupe.

Just when she thought the visit was over, something unexpected happened again.

The Cajun theater manager approached her after a day of filming.

"My master wants to talk to you, May... no, Mrs. Lannis." He stood guard outside the castle area, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and even his hat was covered with a thin layer of snow.

There is no doubt that the other party is referring to the founder of the Cajin Theater Troupe and the theater master of Graycastle, Cajin Face.

At that moment, countless questions welled up in her mind, and she even wanted to reject the other party with the "disappointment" he said, but she found that she really wanted to see Ka Jin... not for anything else, but to solve the mystery.

"Can I bring my partner?" May asked.

"No, Mr. Cajin only allows you to go there alone." The steward shook his head.

"Sister Mei..." Erin, who was traveling with her, said worriedly.

She turned her head and glanced at Erin, indicating that she had no problem, and then took a deep breath, "I understand, please lead the way."

…

Still the Whistle Inn.

Mei followed the steward up to the second floor and entered a spacious study room. Standing with their backs against the bookcase are several familiar faces - "Princess" Röntgen, "The Wanderer" Egepo, "Feixia" Bernice... These people are all top actors gathered from all over the world. In "The Prince Seeks Love", she also had a relatively harmonious cooperation with them. The reunion after many years should have been full of joy, but from the other party's indifferent expression, Mei only saw contempt and hostility.

This surprised her greatly.

Although they had given up hope for a passionate reunion, in the West Star's impression, even if there were conflicts between them, they would not be so obvious. For famous actors, hiding their expressions is just a basic skill. Even if they are facing a newcomer, few people are willing to completely break their faces - this is different from the busybodies in the Opera House. The more famous the person, the more Cherish your wings. However, they are not even willing to do this superficial effort at the moment.

Mei looked at the old man with half white hair behind the desk. She hadn't seen him for several years. Cajin seemed to have aged a lot, but no one of the actors present would ignore his presence. These peers remained silent, obviously waiting for the drama master to speak.

As if he felt her gaze, Ka Jin closed the script in his hand and stood up.

And his first words made Mei freeze on the spot.

"Mrs. Lannis, may I ask you and your troupe to cancel your next performance?"
