After hearing the director's explanation, Tang Run felt a chill run down his spine.

"The reason no one is getting infected with this sore anymore is because everyone respects the mountain god and doesn't disturb him easily! ... But we're about to run over with our cameras and disturb him; isn't that just courting death?"

Song Wenjing laughed, "I thought that after the first episode, Teacher Tang wouldn't appear in the second episode."

Tang Run ignored Song Wenjing's words, stared at the director, and continued angrily:

"Even professional scientific expeditions can't handle these caves, and you expect us to come here to explore them? Do you hope we all come back covered in sores? What's the point and impact of this program on the audience? Does it mean they'll never come to explore again?"

The filming director smiled apologetically and quickly explained and reassured them.

"Teacher Tang, please don't worry. Actually, a medical team that brings together global elites came to investigate the vegetation in the mountains. However, they were very careful and dared not make any moves. So they didn't explicitly say that they came for the Phoenix Grottoes, but they also studied the environment around the grottoes."

"The report disclosed by this team mentioned that there are indeed many plant fruits and leaves that poisonous insects like around the cave... Therefore, what really caused the expedition team to be poisoned in the early years was not the rumor of ghosts and gods, but the poisoning reaction caused by plant spores or pollen."

Song Wenjing seized every opportunity to retort, "Teacher Tang, we sent you here to give a science lesson! This kind of environment, perfect for you to banter!"

Tang Run's eyes flashed with hatred, but he couldn't vent it, so he could only take it out on the filming director, continuing to provoke him, saying, "Since you said there are already investigation results, then why did we need to go exploring this place? What's there to explore?"

Director: "Because academic research results are not easily accepted by the public, we need to use our program to show and present them layer by layer to tell everyone that there is no problem there. Moreover, the area around Phoenix Grottoes has been developed in the past two years, and the roads and transportation have become more convenient. Many cultural and tourism sites want to use our program to showcase Phoenix Grottoes to more people."

This explanation was reasonable, and everyone nodded in agreement.

However, Qin Yan had witnessed some unusual signs in Lushui Village last time.

He clearly didn't accept the production team's explanation as quickly as the other guests.

Qin Yan glanced at Liang Jingu discreetly.

Liang Jingu was busy replying to messages from clients, and seemed distracted.

However, he seemed relatively relaxed.

Qin Yan looked at Jun Yao again.

Junyao was drowsy.

Qin Yan: "..."

He took one last look at Wanlin.

Wanlin was folding small animals from several pieces of cut gold foil paper.

Seeing that these people didn't react much, Qin Yan finally felt relieved.

I don't think anything will happen in this episode, right?

The production crew quickly took them to the outskirts of Qingmo Village.

Although the area around the village has undergone modern development, the roads within the village are still not suitable for large vehicles.

To reach Phoenix Grottoes, one must pass through Qingmo Village.

Therefore, the director arranged for everyone to bring their staff, move their luggage to the guesthouse where they were staying, and settle in before going to the grottoes the next day.

This arrangement was originally flawless.

However, because Tang Run hadn't even arrived at his accommodation yet, he started contacting the production team again, insisting on staying on the second floor and refusing to stay on the first floor, which angered Song Wenjing even more.

"Teacher Tang! Why do you always live on the second floor?"

"Have you forgotten that you're a man?"

"They say men have more yang energy, so living on the first floor will better ward off evil spirits!"

"Why do you always insist on taking rooms on the second floor? If word gets out, people will think you're not up to it!"

Tang Run looked much thinner than before, and indeed looked "very unwell".

If anyone else heard this, they would basically get angry with Song Wenjing and start cursing on the spot.

At the very least, they would retort with a few sarcastic remarks.

But Tang Run seemed completely unconcerned about how Song Wenjing spread rumors about him.

He insisted on living on the second floor.

The production coordinator was in a difficult position and told the truth: "Teacher Tang, last time we had an extra room because Xiao Qiao didn't stay in the place we arranged. This time, the number of rooms is just right, so we really can't change it for you."

Tang Run, who had just been using a negotiating tone, suddenly erupted.

"How did someone with such a pig brain become a life director?"

"You only make one plan for everything?"

"What do you plan to do if any of the facilities in a room on the second floor break down and become unusable?"

"I don't care!"

"Even if there aren't any extra rooms in the courtyard where the guests are staying, there are still so many staff members on the production team who need accommodation! Wouldn't it solve the problem if you took one of their rooms and swapped it with me?"

"I really don't know how you grew so big!"

The production director was only in his early thirties, and when Tang Run publicly berated him like that, his face instantly turned bright red.

Other colleagues gathered around and quietly comforted her.

However, in order not to cause bigger trouble, no one dared to directly confront Tang Runqi.

Just then, Jun Yao spoke lazily.

"Then I'll bring my assistant to sleep in the guest room, and you can stay in the RV."

Tang Run's expression immediately froze.

How could he dare to stay in the RV arranged by Zhou Yichuan?

If Zhou Yichuan finds out about this, he really won't be able to stay in this industry anymore!

Tang Run quickly refused, and explained to Jun Yao with an awkward smile, "I don't need a motorhome! A regular room is fine! Oh, Xiao Qiao, don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to make things difficult for the life director, it's just that I've never been used to living on the first floor!"

He declared confidently, "No matter what type of program I participated in or what film crew I was on, I was never allowed to stay on the first floor!"

"I don't know if it's because the first floor is noisier, but I can't get a good rest and it affects my sleep quality whenever I live in a room on the first floor."

"If the filming schedule and quality of the show are affected because of me, then it would be a loss."

"That's why I'm thinking of trying my best to avoid any unnecessary trouble."

Jun Yao interrupted him leisurely, "You mean, I let you stay in the RV, and you complain that it's on the first floor and too noisy, which might disturb your rest?"

Tang Run's smile seemed to freeze, leaving him unsure whether to advance or retreat.

Song Wenjing seized this opportunity and made a good impression.

"Alright, alright, Ms. Tang, if you had said earlier that you were worried about it affecting your sleep quality, I wouldn't have thought you were being a princess! In that case, how about this, you stay in my room! I'm easygoing, I don't mind noise, I can sleep anywhere!"

Although the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Junyao did take notice of Tang Run because of it.

She secretly used her spiritual energy to test Tang Run.

He didn't have any strange magical artifacts on him, unlike those timid people who usually have a lot of random accessories.

Tang Run was timid, but he had nothing to protect himself.

Let alone genuine magical artifacts.

We didn't find any fake incense charms or similar items.

That's really hard to believe.
