Chapter 237 - 237 236 Qiandao Lake Banquet【Second Update】

237: Chapter 236 Qiandao Lake Banquet【Second Update】 237: Chapter 236 Qiandao Lake Banquet【Second Update】 After staying with the Tang Family for three days, the eleventh holiday was almost over.

Ye Chuxue asked Li Chen, are they returning now?

Li Chen shook his head and said, “No rush to go back, let’s make a trip to Yangzhou first!”

Ye Chuxue blinked her big eyes, asking, “What are we going to do in Yangzhou?”

Li Chen replied succinctly, “To collect a debt!”

The debtor was none other than the young master of Gongzi family, the richest family in Yangzhou, Gongzi Yuu.

Hang City is just three hundred kilometers away from Yangzhou, merely a two to three-hour drive, so they planned to stop by and collect the debt.

To see if Gongzi Yuu, after becoming an Innate, had grown too arrogant?

If that were the case, he wouldn’t mind wiping out this so-called richest family of Yangzhou as well.

In fact, with the power he held now, to obliterate a city’s richest didn’t require him to act personally.

A simple word from him and others would handle it neatly without any delay.

After all, his Martial Arts Alliance was not one to be trifled with.

Since the fall of the Long Family, in just three short days, the overall strength of the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance had doubled.

The number of joining families had soared from thirteen to twenty-seven.

Initially, when the alliance was first formed, those families who hesitated and refused to join are now desperately trying to be part of it, fearing they might be left out.

However, none of the ancient Martial Arts Sects and Four Sects of Mystical Sect with hundreds or even thousands of years of heritage have stepped forward to join.

After all, these sects, standing at the peak of Huaxia Martial Arts, would naturally not eye an alliance only a month old.

Just as gentlemen born into aristocratic families look down on nouveau riche.

No matter how wealthy the latter, or how downtrodden the former, they still wouldn’t give them a second glance.

The inherent sense of superiority ingrained since childhood makes them feel innately superior, a status that cannot be altered by any late achievements.

These great sects looked down on Li Chen’s Martial Arts Alliance.

Likewise, Li Chen disdained these sects that were rotten to the core yet still held their tails high.

He was currently busy integrating the martial forces of Great Jiangnan and had no time to deal with these sects.

However, once he had consolidated his control over the entire alliance, anyone who dares to act up, like they are now, will have to face the sword of Immortal Master Li.

Two hours later, Li Chen and Ye Chuxue arrived at the boundaries of Yangzhou.

Ye Chuxue, glancing at Li Chen, said, “Brother Li Chen, shall we visit the Twenty-four Bridge at Slender West Lake tonight?

‘Twenty-four Bridge on a moonlit night, where will the beautiful lady play the flute?’ Sounds so romantic!”

Li Chen smiled mischievously and replied, “With a beautiful lady playing the flute, how could it not be romantic?”

Ye Chuxue innocently said, “I can’t play the flute, but I can dance ballet and play the piano!”

While speaking, her delicate, scallion-white fingers imitated the graceful movements of playing the piano in mid-air.

Seeing Ye Chuxue’s innocent youthfulness, a satisfied smile couldn’t help but spread across Li Chen’s face.

Ye Chuxue, feeling a bit embarrassed under Li Chen’s gaze, whispered, “Is there something on my face?

Why keep staring at me?”

“Because you’re lovely, Xue’er.

No matter how much I look, it’s never enough!”

With Ye Chuxue, Li Chen didn’t hide his inner affection at all; his sweet nothings flowed more freely than the waters of the Yangtze River.

Faced with Li Chen’s blatant affection, Ye Chuxue’s face flushed to the roots of her neck, and she pouted, saying, “Hmph, look at you acting all silly!”

…

Li Chen is not a fan of trouble and went straight to Gongzi Yuu’s house to urge him to repay a hundred billion in debt.

However, when he arrived, the butler of the Gongzi family informed him that Gongzi Yuu was not at the mansion, but had gone to attend the annual Qiandao Lake Banquet.

So, Li Chen had no choice but to make a detour to Qiandao Lake with Ye Chuxue.

The Qiandao Lake Banquet, along with the Red Mansion Banquet, Heavenly Earth Banquet, and the Sea Sky Banquet, are known as the top four grand banquets in the country.

The biggest organizer of the banquet is the Gongzi family, and under their name, they own several entertainment companies, so the attendees include not only local magnates and wealthy families but also directors, stars, and supermodels from the entertainment industry.

It’s truly a gathering of dazzling stars and beauties.

As soon as they entered Qiandao Lake, Ye Chuxue let out a child-like cry of delight.

“Li Chen, it’s so beautiful here, just like a fairyland on earth!”

A young man clad in designer brands, with eyes darting around searching for his next target, heard Ye Chuxue’s voice, sweet as a nightingale’s song, and turned his head to look.

When he saw the charming smile on Ye Chuxue’s pretty face, he was dazzled, feeling as if his bones had turned soft.

However, he quickly regained his composure, straightened his clothes, and strode over confidently.

When he reached Ye Chuxue, he smiled politely and started a conversation, “Beautiful lady, are you also here for the Qiandao Lake banquet?”

Ye Chuxue nodded and asked, “Yes, what about it?”

The young man put on an aristocratic and gentlemanly demeanor, asking politely, “Excuse me for asking, but I find your face unfamiliar, are you not from Yangzhou?

Do you have an invitation to the banquet?”

Hearing about needing an invitation for the banquet, Ye Chuxue’s expression froze momentarily and she instinctively turned to look at Li Chen.

Li Chen hadn’t planned on attending any Qiandao Lake banquet at all; he was here merely on a whim to collect a debt, so he hadn’t prepared any invitation.

The young man, named Su Lun, is a prominent talent scout for Huayu Entertainment, owned by the Gongzi family.

Being a talent scout, he naturally had the knack for observing others.

Seeing the expressions on Ye Chuxue and Li Chen, and noting their clothes, which did not suggest immense wealth, he roughly guessed their status and intentions.

Without a doubt, they were tourists who came to Yangzhou during the National Holiday after hearing about the Qiandao Lake Banquet.

Seeing the innocent and pretty look of Ye Chuxue, who likely was still a student, appearing pure without a hint of flirtation, definitely a pristine young girl.

The Young Director of the company, Gongzi Hong, had just dumped his seventeenth internet celebrity girlfriend and was currently single.

If he introduced this pure girl to him, he would definitely like her.

By then, he could surely secure a good reward for himself.

With these thoughts, he enthusiastically took out his business card and said, “I am the Director of Huayu Entertainment and a well-known talent scout in the industry.

Here is my business card.”

Ye Chuxue took the business card politely but merely glanced at it casually, her face showing no sign of excitement.

Seeing that Ye Chuxue was unmoved, Su Lun briefly paused before dropping another bombshell.

“Beautiful lady, our company is planning to shoot a youth romance film, and we are missing a leading actress.

I see that your demeanor perfectly fits the role, would you be interested?”

Some girls nearby, hearing Su Lun’s words, immediately glistened with excitement and turned their gaze toward them.

This was the Director of Huayu Entertainment personally inviting an unknown girl to play the lead actress in a major film.

This girl named Ye Chuxue was incredibly lucky!

How could such a great opportunity not fall upon them instead?

Su Lun was also smug, as every girl dreams of becoming a stage star.

He believed Ye Chuxue would be no exception and would definitely not refuse his enticing invitation.

In reality, his company was indeed planning to invest in a school romance film.

However, the lead actress had already been decided upon—a nearly first-tier actress from the mainland.

Moreover, he was just a nominal director with no real power in his hands.

At most, he could recommend someone for a minor role, not even a supporting role.

But, whatever, he thought, first get the person on board and then see.

He had deceived many college beauties using this trick before.

Those naive girls, eager to become famous, ended up being slept with by him for a week and, just like strays, passed around among various so-called directors and investors, only to end up with a minor role with hardly any lines.
