The King of Entertainment, Lu Chengqing

As the premier villa in Star Lake, Liu Manor's scenery is naturally beyond compare.

Chu Xinghe also enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation, taking a proper break at Star Lake as if it were a vacation.

These backstabbing dogs are constantly ganging up on me; Chu Xinghe says he's starting to feel the strain lately.

So spending two days relaxing in the Liu Manor is a good way to recharge.

However, while relaxing, Chu Xinghe first went to check on Ma Liang...

Seeing that Ma Liang has been busy chatting with his aunt these past two days, and also bragging to his little cousin...

Seeing Ma Liang like this, Chu Xinghe was completely relieved.

Ma Liang is busy reuniting with his family and has no time to worry about anything else. Ma Liang's not even making a move... so isn't this a very safe bet?

On this day, Ma Liang took his aunt and younger cousin on a boat trip on Star Lake. When the boat reached the middle of the lake, his younger cousin Bai Jingyan, came to Ma Liang's side shyly, as if she had something to say but didn't know how to start.

"Jingyan... Although I haven't known you for very long, when did you start acting so polite with me?"

Ma Liang teased his little cousin.

"Brother... you... um... brother... I need your help with something..."

"You need my help? Tell me, what's wrong? I'll take care of it for you." Ma Liang lay on the boat, smiling as he looked at his sister.

I'm not bragging Ma Liang...

With my Ma Liang status and position, there are really not many things in the world that I, Ma Liang, cannot do...

Therefore, no matter what requests his sister might have, Ma Liang felt that arranging them wouldn't be a difficult task.

Soon, from Bai Jingyan's words, Ma Liang knew exactly what his sister wanted him to do for her.

Bai Jingyan followed Liu Ying; she was beautiful, but she had no talent for cultivation... so from childhood to Bai Jingyan had only casually cultivated a little bit.

However, although Bai Jingyan's talent for cultivation was lacking, she inherited Liu Ying's abilities in music.

Bai Jingyan is quite skilled in music.

Bai Jingyan has always had a dream: to enter Haotian Tower and become the most famous music master in the world through her musical skills.

But is Haotian Tower so easy to enter?

Haotian Tower is under the management of Lu Chengqing, the Southern Branch of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

Now that Demon Star Continent and Blazing Sun Continent have merged, the Haotian Mirror has been regained to Lu Chengqing's control.

With the help of the Haotian Mirror, Lu Chengqing went on a killing spree in the Jiangnan region!

Lu Chengqing is now known as the number one person in the entertainment industry!

No matter who you are, if Lu Chengqing says you can do it, then you definitely can!

If you offend Lu Chengqing, then sorry, no matter how famous you are, if Lu Chengqing decides to blacklist you with just one word, you will never have a chance to show your face again in your life.

Lu Chengqing, the king of entertainment, has now reached the pinnacle of his fame.

Recently, Lu Chengqing used the Haotian Mirror to host a program called "Vast Heaven's Good Voice" in the Jiangnan region. It's said that Chu Xinghe even helped come up with the name for the program...

As everyone knows, anything related to Chu Xinghe is bound to be a sensation.

Vast Heaven's Good Voice was absolutely a sensation... Lu Chengqing spent a fortune to create the show, and it became an instant hit.

Today, Vast Heaven's Good Voice is even being called a "god-making project" by the entertainment industry.

If you have any talent and can appear on Vast Heaven's Good Voice, you'll definitely become an overnight sensation and a household name.

Therefore, Vast Heaven's Good Voice has now become a show that everyone in the entertainment industry dreams of appearing on...

However, as Vast Heaven's Good Voice gained more and more popularity, Lu Chengqing's requirements for the performers also became higher and higher.

Countless people have frantically tried to contact Lu Chengqing through connections and back channels, hoping to secure a spot on Vast Heaven's Good Voice.

But would Lu Chengqing even care about such small sums of money now?

I, Lu Chengqing, am a Future contender for the position of president of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, vying with Qin Xiangqian. And now you want to bribe me and pull strings?

Do you think I, Lu Chengqing, need even the slightest bit of what you have?

The little stuff you gave me is nothing compared to my (Lu Chengqing's) entire fortune.

You want me Lu Chengqing, to make a mistake? Are you trying to get Lu Chengqing killed?

Senior Brother Xinghe hates corrupt people the most. If Senior Brother Xinghe finds out that I did this, what kind of person will I, Lu Chengqing, become in Senior Brother Xinghe's eyes?

Therefore, Lu Chengqing has always adhered to the principle of never accepting any backdoor deals or gifts!

It was precisely because of Lu Chengqing's insistence that Vast Heaven's Good Voice maintained its authenticity. None of the contestants who made it onto the stage were nepotistic; they were all genuinely talented, making each episode more impressive than the last!

Lu Chengqing stated that there is absolutely no cheating involved in Vast Heaven's Good Voice; it's purely a battle of skill!

Last month, Bai Jingyan went to Haotian Tower to sign up for Vast Heaven's Good Voice.

Goodness, Bai Jingyan wasn't exactly a country bumpkin, but when she arrived at Haotian Tower, the sheer number of people there completely bewildered Bai Jingyan.

And what's even more outrageous is that Bai Jingyan knew all the people in line...

Wang Man, the first diva of Qujiang...

Zhao Pengpeng, the first lawyer in Hongshui...

Jade City's recently emerging music master, Ma Wenya...

Everyone standing in Haotian Tower is a well-known superstar.

Bai Jingyan once made a special trip to Qujiang just to hear the singing of Wang Man, the number one songstress of Qujiang... But even after paying a great price, Bai Jingyan could only catch a glimpse of her from afar, and didn't even have the chance to see Wang Man up close.

Any one of these people is an absolute superstar... Wherever they go, they have countless fans.

Each and every one of them is an idol-level figure.

They would all be highly sought-after figures outside, but these same people who were once admired are now incredibly humble within the Haotian Tower...

They all had to wait in line obediently at Haotian Tower.

What the heck? You mean find a servant to do the arranging?

Previously, someone claiming to be the King of Music in a certain place had done this, but when it was his turn to serve, Lu Chengqing's words came from Haotian Tower.

No matter who you are, once you get to Haotian Tower, you have to obediently queue up... so I asked the other person to queue up again.

But the King of Music immediately panicked upon hearing this... "Does your Haotian Tower even know who I am?"

You want me to queue again? Let me tell you... everywhere else, I'm treated like royalty. I can have servants queuing for me, and you want me to queue again?

To this arrogant King of Music, Lu Chengqing simply said, "You are too noble. Our Haotian Tower cannot afford to entertain you. Please do as you please... From now on, all business related to our Haotian Tower will have nothing to do with you... Show him out!"

Lu Chengqing was furious... Did they all really think they were someone important?

If they're not even willing to queue at my Haotian Tower, then they should be permanently disqualified!

News of what happened at Haotian Tower spread far and wide.

At first, this King of Music didn't care. He thought, "You Haotian Tower think you can interfere with other places? You're too arrogant!"

But soon he realized that it wasn't Haotian Tower who was arrogant, but himself.

Because of the news about Haotian Tower, all past commercial performances were canceled... and various collaborations were also canceled.

And his position as the King of Music was quickly taken over by a little guy he used to bully all the time.

It was at that moment that he realized... Lu Chengqing, the King of Entertainment, was an absolute decree in the entertainment industry.

No matter what kind of celebrity you are, no matter how famous you are... once you arrive at Haotian Tower, even if you're a dragon, you have to coil up; even if you're a tiger, you have to lie low...

If you are dissatisfied, you are free to leave Haotian Tower at any time. Haotian Tower never forces anyone to come.

Bai Jingyan immediately cowered when she saw so many celebrities and big shots.

Although Bai Jingyan believed her musical talent was no less than that of those with greater fame, and that everyone in her family felt invigorated upon hearing her music, their fame was simply too great.

And I, Bai Jingyan, am just a Wuming nobody...

Why would Haotian Tower choose me...?

So Bai Jingyan slunk back to the Bai Clan...

Bai Jingyan thought she might never have the chance to enter Haotian Tower and perform on Vast Heaven's Good Voice.

But when Bai Jingyan learned that her cousin was Ma Liang, her hope was rekindled.

So Bai Jingyan's request was simple: she hoped her cousin could talk to Chu Xinghe on her behalf... and ask Chu Xinghe to put in a good word for her with Lu Chengqing, to see if she could get an audition opportunity...

Bai Jingyan looked at her cousin with anticipation.

But Bai Jingyan noticed that after hearing her words, her cousin remained silent, and his face even turned gloomy.

"Cousin... is it not working...?" Bai Jingyan asked anxiously.

Upon hearing Bai Jingyan's words, Ma Liang was so angry he almost wet himself...

What?! Is that even true? My cousin didn't get selected from Haotian Tower? That Lu Chengqing's got too big for his britches now? Even my cousin, Ma Liang's cousin, got rejected?

Is there no justice or law left?!

But Ma Liang soon realized that this matter couldn't really be blamed on Lu Chengqing, since Lu Chengqing didn't know his cousin, and his cousin didn't seem to be a candidate either...

"Cousin... if it really doesn't work out, then forget it..."

Bai Jingyan looked uneasy. Bai Jingyan didn't know much about the cultivation world, so all she knew about her cousin was that Bai Jingyan was very powerful.

But Bai Jingyan knows everything about the entertainment industry.

Lu Chengqing is the king of entertainment!

In the entire entertainment industry, Lu Chengqing is practically a force to be reckoned with, able to manipulate events at will!

Lu Chengqing said you can do it, so whether you can or not, you can do it. Lu Chengqing said you can't, so even if you can, you can't!

In Bai Jingyan's eyes, this person was simply the strongest being in the world.

So even if my cousin has some status in the Vast Heaven Sect, he probably wouldn't be able to speak to someone like that.

Seeing Bai Jingyan's disappointment, Ma Liang almost burst out laughing.

What the heck? Cousin, you're saying Lu Chengqing is the King of Entertainment?

Yes, that title seems genuine, but cousin, do you know? Lu Chengqing doesn't care about the title of "King of Entertainment" at all. The title he cares about most is...

Ma Liang's most trusted confidant!
