Unfortunately.
After Qin Xuan came back, he didn't even look at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan tried to say something several times, but her father's words of caution still rang in her ears, and she held back in the end.
"You, seek your own good fortune."
Chen Yan's body went limp and she suddenly lost the desire to attend class. She left the classroom quietly.
At the same time,
In the provincial capital over 200 km from Yuncheng.
In a private room of an entertainment club.
Lu Jinghong and a burly young man sat facing each other on tatami mats, smoking and drinking tea while chatting idly about everything under the sun.
Suddenly,
Lu Jinghong took a phone call, and for a long time after he hung up he didn't react.
"What's wrong?" the young man asked.
"Nothing, just a clown jumping around."
Lu Jinghong took a hard drag on his cigarette and sneered, "In a few days, at the grand event in our Yuncheng, are you interested in going to take a look? With all those plump beauties and slender girls there, I expect it will be enough for you to feast your eyes."
"I've heard about it too, I've been looking forward to this extraordinary gambling event for a long time. I'll go and gamble for some beauties to play with when the time comes." The young man couldn't help but laugh.
"Good, contact me when the time comes and I'll make arrangements for you." Lu Jinghong said with a smile.
This was an extremely crafty man.
Although raging anger had ignited in his heart, on the outside he could perfectly conceal his emotions.
What had happened at the school had already reached Lu Jinghong's ears.
Lu Jinghong really didn't know on what basis Qin Xuan dared to defy him like this, but now he could confirm one thing...
Behind Qin Xuan, there must be some unexpected background.
"Perhaps I underestimated him too. To make the school administration silent, make Xiang TianGe drop his aloofness, how could he not have outstanding qualities? If nothing unexpected happens, his background is already on par with mine."
Lu Jinghong thought to himself, then glanced at the burly young man in front of him, a trace of sinister smile emerging at the corner of his mouth...
...
Three days later!
The grand Yuncheng event kicked off in the city's top club.
Tonight belonged to the debauchery of the powerful.
The minimum requirement for participants was to have personal assets over 100 million yuan.
The parking area at the club entrance was filled with luxury cars, pouring down like rain. A car like the Mercedes-Benz E300L Qin Xuan drove would only count as garbage if parked here.
The big shots who could get in were here purely for pleasure.
And some people who just met the entry threshold saw this place as an arena of fame and gain, hoping to pursue top-level elites they normally had no access to amidst the drunken gold and revelry!
Tonight's huge gambling event would begin at 8 pm.
Right now it was just past 7 pm, cocktail hour.
There was an unwritten rule here.
Those with personal assets over 100 million could attend the cocktail party, but had to voluntarily leave after 8 pm.
Only those with over 500 million in assets, or some special figures, could participate in the real gambling gala after 8!
At this moment.
Next to a pyramid of champagne flutes in the cocktail hall.
Jiang Feiyu, Chu Qingya, Zhao Ming, Dai Yunze, Shi Fan...
As well as Pan Yutong and Wen Zilin, who had been beaten up by Qin Xuan three days ago, were all gathered together.
This was a small circle with Yuncheng University as the link.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yan and Liu Xinxin were also following this group!
With their status, they naturally didn't qualify to participate in such an event. They were only able to open their eyes to this opportunity because they had recently joined Dai Yunze's circle.
"Do you think Qin Xuan will come?" Liu Xinxin asked in a low voice.
"No matter how fierce he is at school, it's only because he's good at fighting. For an occasion like tonight, solid background and social status are needed, he can't get in." Chen Yan said indifferently.
Her tone no longer held any sense of superiority, only a hint of resentment.
She had actually been thinking that if Qin Xuan could lower his stance and take the initiative to make a request, she would be happy to pull strings for Qin Xuan and fight for a qualification to attend.
"Ignorant!"
Suddenly, Pan Yutong scolded, "That bastard Qin Xuan even dared to hit me, and the school never intervened from beginning to end. Don't you understand yet, what's the point of deceiving yourself like this!"
Chen Yan's mind buzzed, and she was stunned for a moment.
Only now did she realize that if Qin Xuan was really only good at fighting, with the big commotion he had caused recently, he would have been expelled long ago...
Pan Yutong gave a cold snort, extremely displeased in her heart.
If Qin Xuan didn't even have the qualifications to attend, didn't that mean he was garbage that could beat her?
That she was even worse than garbage?
She really didn't know why Dai Yunze had brought these two annoying people.
"On the contrary, I hope that guy comes."
Jiang Feiyu sneered, "I've already received a definite message that Brother Hong will come tonight too. If he dares to come, let's see how he gets out of this mess after publicly saying those words three days ago!"
These words immediately ignited everyone's emotions.
Three days ago when Qin Xuan caused a big disturbance at the Business School, Lu Jinghong was in the provincial capital and unable to suppress Qin Xuan's arrogance, which had left them stifled these past few days.
If both Lu Jinghong and Qin Xuan came tonight,
It would surely be spectacular!
While everyone was talking.
Two figures appeared at the banquet hall entrance, a man and a woman.
The man wore a black suit, standing tall and straight, with an unconcealable aura between his brows.
The woman wore a pure white floor-length gown, with three thousand strands of black hair draped behind her, every move gentle as water.
Qin Xuan.
Xia Wanying!
The scene erupted in astonishment.
Qin Xuan actually dared to come!
And Xia Wanying, usually dressed and styled so simply, already possessed moving beauty.
Dressed up in an evening gown tonight, she was shockingly beautiful, perhaps even surpassing Xiang TianGe's beauty!
Chen Yan stared dumbfounded.
She was very unwilling to admit that in this moment, Qin Xuan and Xia Wanying were a perfect match!
"Don't be nervous, just relax and enjoy yourself. Look at you, you're still shaking..." Qin Xuan said helplessly.
Xia Wanying's pretty face flushed slightly.
Coming from poverty, when had she ever experienced such an occasion! If Qin Xuan hadn't insisted on bringing a female companion, she wouldn't even have had the courage to put on this evening gown.
As the two strolled along the plush carpet.
Pan Yutong immediately frowned, "You actually dare to come, didn't you hear that my cousin is also coming!"
"I don't want to get violent tonight at an occasion like this. I hope you don't reopen healed wounds." Qin Xuan said indifferently.
"You!!"
Pan Yutong trembled with anger.
Jiang Feiyu spoke up, "Calm down first, Yutong. Even though we're unwilling to accept reality, we really can't suppress this guy anymore. Wait until your cousin gets here and we'll get the last laugh."
Only then did Pan Yutong's expression improve slightly. She gave a disdainful curl of her lip and didn't provoke Qin Xuan again.
It really was ironic.
A village boy who had only started going to the city for school not long ago was now lording it over these privileged children, leaving them unable to hold their heads high and only able to place their hopes on Lu Jinghong!
Even Zhao Ming hidden in the crowd couldn't help but glance at the bandage on his arm, his lips trembling repeatedly...
Just when everyone was extremely frustrated.
Lu Jinghong finally arrived!
"Cousin!"
"Brother Hong!"
"Young Master Hong!"
A group of people immediately revealed looks of ecstasy and shouted out.
Not only the Yuncheng University circle, even many business tycoons smiled amiably at Lu Jinghong.
At this moment, Lu Jinghong had a faint smile, refined and cultured as always.
Every step appeared at ease, graceful and proper.
His arrival seemed to come with a spotlight, attracting secret admiration from many wealthy young ladies!
Finally.
Lu Jinghong stopped in front of Qin Xuan, leisurely smiling, "Qin, haven't seen you for a few days, how have you been recently?"
Slap!
Qin Xuan directly swung at him, shocking everyone.
What was this occasion?
Who was he facing?
Yet he was still as impulsive as ever, not hesitating at all!
"Of all the hypocrites I've seen, you're second best. No one dares claim first." Qin Xuan said indifferently.
"Heh heh."
With his thumb, Lu Jinghong wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, then revealed a hideous smile. "Yeah, I'm really a hypocrite. I've been pretending for so many years that I'm tired of it. So tonight...let's go crazy!"
He finally dropped the act.
But given the circumstances, the moment he dropped the disguise, instead of making people feel disgusted, it ignited the flames in Jiang Feiyu and the others' hearts!
"Go crazy?"
Qin Xuan sneered contemptuously, "I actually feel quite sorry for you. No matter what, your excellence is obvious to all. But for a woman you can't obtain, you now even dropped the disguise you've kept up for years. I don't know whether to call you a romantic fool or a disgrace."
"Shut up!"
Lu Jinghong was provoked. His whole face twisted and he waved his arm.
In an instant, dozens of burly men filed in, each holding a gun!
The dark muzzles pointed straight at Qin Xuan!
Although this grand event tonight was not meant to see the light of day, as it involved all kinds of high-stakes gambling.
But with Lu Jinghong bringing in so many armed men, the grave atmosphere flowing through the air made everyone shiver!
Soon, a manager at the scene hurried over in panic and shouted, "Young Master Hong, calm down. Give our boss some face. Making trouble here is equivalent to tearing all ties with our boss!"
"What's your boss worth that he dares call himself that? Get lost right now, or you'll be the first to die!" Lu Jinghong was gradually approaching madness.
"What's he worth? Even if your father came personally, he wouldn't say such arrogant words!" The manager's face turned ashen.
"Get lost!"
Jiang Feiyu suddenly stepped forward and stood alongside Lu Jinghong, looking coldly at the manager, "What about with me added?"
Dai Yunze and Shi Fan exchanged glances and shouted in unison, "With us too!"
Wen Zilin, Ma Fankai, and Cao Zhuo, followed closely behind, with roaring voices, "And us!"
In an instant.
The manager's heart raced wildly, as if smelling a hint of fear.
Lu Jinghong alone was frightening enough.
Let alone these people united as one. The forces behind them, once twisted together, could make the winds shift across half of Cloud City!
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.
