The dinner party was bustling with lively conversation and clinking glasses, the atmosphere was quite warm.
People kept leaving their seats and going to Qin Xian to toast him.
"Qin Shao, I'd like to drink to you."
Yu Xun, holding a pot of white wine, walked up to Qin Xian, looking extremely respectful, and directly finished the whole pot in one gulp!
Qin Xian smiled slightly, raised his wine glass to clink with him, and took a small sip.
But Yu Xun, the son of the speaker, looked delighted, as if Qin Xian drinking with him was a great honor!
Su Ke Qing and the few female artists looked at each other, all feeling immensely shocked.
Yu Xun was the son of the provincial speaker, when did he become so humble?
Just who is this Qin Shao?
Su Ke Qing's seat was right next to Qin Xian, and she kept stealing glances at him.
From the moment she first saw Qin Xian, the first thing Su Ke Qing felt was that he was handsome.
His features were as finely chiseled as a sculpture, his angular face exceptionally handsome, he seemed like someone who had walked out of a painting, the artist's most perfect statue, flawless.
She had seen many handsome men in the entertainment industry.
But those male stars were incomparable to Qin Xian, they were like beggars compared to him!
It wasn't just the difference in looks, but more the difference in temperament!
Qin Xian's temperament was extremely noble, a natural aura that couldn't be acted, the kind of air of superiority cultivated from a life of privilege.
Though he didn't say much, his every word left a deep impression.
Eliciting nods of agreement from everyone.
Through Qin Xian's conversations with Yu Xun and the others, Su Ke Qing finally confirmed Qin Xian's identity.
The eldest son of the Qin Family of the Imperial Capital, the only son of the ruling Qin Ming!
Upon realizing Qin Xian's identity, Su Ke Qing and the other female artists were completely stunned, their cherry mouths agape as they stared blankly at Qin Xian.
No one in the Divine Dragon Empire didn't know the weight of the Qin family name.
For a thousand years since the Empire's founding, the Qin family had stood at the pinnacle of the Empire, a top-tier noble family.
The current head of the Qin family was one of the three major figures of the Empire, the Chief of the Imperial Court, second only to the Regent!
Su Ke Qing was still in shock.
She even felt a sense of unreality...
Although she was a big star and had seen many big shots, she had only heard of someone like Qin Xian, feeling him to be very distant.
Yet now she was sitting beside him?
For a moment, Su Ke Qing felt dizzy...
But then, Su Ke Qing realized something even more terrifying.
Qin Xian had just arrived in East Sea City today from the Imperial Capital, which meant that...the one who had caused Lin Feng to fail his transfer was Qin Xian!?
At this thought, Su Ke Qing felt a knot in her heart...
She knew that with Qin Xian's status, let alone revenge, even knowing Qin Xian's identity would put Lin Feng in danger!
She didn't know how long it took, but the banquet finally came to an end.
Yu Xun and the others, each with their female companions, prepared to leave the club, Su Ke Qing knew what would happen next.
Those female artists, not only were they not reluctant, but they seemed quite willing.
After all, they all knew that becoming a mistress to these powerful figures would be a huge boost to their careers.
If they were lucky and married into a wealthy family, it would be a complete leap in status!
Of course, if they could, they would prefer to become Qin Xian's mistress, but...Qin Xian's status was just too high, high enough to intimidate these female artists!
Su Ke Qing was ready to go home, she was a person who was true to herself and wouldn't use such means to rise in the world.
She became a singer not for fame and fortune, but simply because she loved singing.
"Ke Qing, wait a minute."
In the hallway, Jiang Song stopped Su Ke Qing.
"Mr. Jiang, what is it? I'm going home."
Jiang Song gave a strange smile, shaking his head: "Don't go home tonight, go and stay with Qin Shao."
Although he didn't say it directly, Su Ke Qing understood Jiang Song's meaning.
Su Ke Qing was taken aback and quickly refused: "Mr... Mr. Jiang, we had a deal, I sell my art, not myself."
Hearing Su Ke Qing's refusal, the smile on Jiang Song's face disappeared, his face turning gloomy.
"Do you think I'm asking for your opinion?"
Seeing the ruthlessness on Jiang Song's face, Su Ke Qing was immediately frightened, she knew very well Jiang Song's power and methods.
Not to mention, her parents now worked for a company under the Thousand Wave Guild.
Even though she was now on top of the world, a sought-after big star.
But it would be easy for Jiang Song to ruin her, her parents...
Seeing the fear on Su Ke Qing's face, Jiang Song softened his tone slightly: "You know Qin Shao's identity, to be his woman is the dream of countless women!
I'm not harming you, I'm helping you!"
Su Ke Qing didn't refute, because she also knew...what Jiang Song said was true!
"If you become Qin Shao's woman, you'll reach the top, even I will have to call you Ms. Su."
Jiang Song looked at Su Ke Qing, his eyes full of indifference.
Ever since Su Ke Qing debuted, he had been protecting her, do you think it was because he admired her?
Nonsense!
In his eyes, Su Ke Qing was a gift, carefully selected to please someone above.
Of course, before giving the gift, he had to ensure that the gift hadn't been opened.
This time, Qin Shao coming to East Sea City was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
How could he possibly miss this opportunity to use Su Ke Qing to please Qin Xian? It would benefit not only him, but also the Thousand Wave Guild behind him!
He absolutely couldn't let this chance slip away!
Listening to Jiang Song's threats and persuasion, carrots and sticks, Su Ke Qing's heart was in turmoil.
Firstly, she just wanted to sing purely, and secondly, it was because of Lin Feng.
She saw Lin Feng as her younger brother, and Qin Xian had ruined Lin Feng's future.
But at this moment, Su Ke Qing suddenly realized that deep down, she didn't seem to have any hatred for Qin Xian!
Even... serving Qin Xian, she didn't have much resistance!
Perhaps it was because... Qin Xian was too handsome, with a noble temperament, to be honest, serving Qin Xian might be a loss for him...
Su Ke Qing's heart was in turmoil, and finally, she nodded.
........
.......
For Qin Xian, today's banquet was not very nutritious, just a way to connect with these families in East Sea.
His real goal was Lin Yu and his son Lin Feng.
Actually, with the Qin family's power, they could easily crush these two ants.
But the problem was this.
If it were a noble family, the Qin family could eliminate them with thunderous force, and there would be no problem.
But Lin Yu's status was too low, so low that if the Qin family directly took action, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from other forces!
Otherwise, with the Qin family's status, how could they possibly target ordinary people?
The Secret Source was something the Qin family didn't want to expose, and it instead created a bit of a constraint.
Especially the Qin family, though powerful and a top-tier noble family of the Empire.
But the Qin family was not yet the ruler of the Empire, they couldn't act with impunity.
Qin Xian squinted his eyes, looking at the distant city center, at the majestic giant statue.
The Regent of the Empire, the Empire's current strongest, the 90th level Star River Sword Saint - Lu Ji!
