After hanging up, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but think that if his mother was here and knew that Mr Le was coming to the concert, she would definitely be extremely excited. She had always been Uncle Le’s fan.
It was a pity that Teacher Nana should have returned to Mingdu by then. Otherwise, they could have attended the concert together. He would ask her later if she could stay for another two days.
***
Tang Le hung up the call too and looked at the scenery outside the window with a smile on his face. He always liked staying in high places because this way, he could see very far.
Le Qingling laughed. “You are going to see that little kid again! You really care for him. He should have grown up already.”
“En, he’s grown a lot. You’ll be able to see him this time. He’ll be here to listen to my concert at Shrek.” Tang Le chuckled.
Le Qingling said, “En, I’ll take a look. If he is as good looking as you say, he might be able to debut.”
Tang Le said, “He is a student of Shrek Academy, he shouldn’t be able to debut.”
Le Qingling smiled. “The company’s number one VIP guest invited us this time. Do you have any new songs? It’s been so many years and you’ve always been singing these few songs. I’m tired of listening to them.”
Tang Le thought about it and said, “I’ll think about it, there might be a new one.”
“Really?” Le Qingling’s eyes widened in surprise.
In the music industry, Mr Le was definitely a weirdo among weirdos. After being in the industry for so many years, he only had six songs in total. That’s right, only six songs. At every concert, he would only sing the six songs once and it would be over. It was much shorter than the concerts of ordinary singers.
However, his concerts were always overcrowded and his popularity was at its peak. He had long become a true superstar and had great influence in the entire Federation. He was also the company’s trump card.
As his manager, Le Qingling naturally rose along with him. She was now a board member of the company.
In the words of the fans, although Mr Le only had six songs, it felt different every time they listened to him sing. The same song had a different feeling every time, it was a touch in the depths of their souls.
What satisfied the company the most was that Mr Le’s appearance hadn’t changed at all despite having debuted for almost 10 years. Even his manager, Le Qingling, looked the same as when she first debuted. Other than her mature eyes, she still looked like a young girl.
There were countless cosmetics companies that wanted to work with Tang Le, but they were all rejected in the beginning. Later, they couldn’t resist the company’s persuasion and forced Le Qingling to agree to let the selected company use Tang Le’s photo as publicity, but they wouldn’t cooperate with any videos.
This was Tang Le’s request. Other than singing, he did not want to participate in any other program.
Even so, as long as Mr Le’s picture was uploaded, the sales would increase exponentially. This also brought huge benefits to the management company that Tang Le was in. Tang Le didn’t know how much money he had now, but it was being well managed by Le Qingling anyway. He didn’t really need to spend, and Le Qingling would handle it for him.
Tang Le: “I haven’t seen this VIP number one guest yet. Do you know who it is now?”
Le Qingling shook her head and said, “The company seems to know about it, but it seems like she has specially requested to not reveal her identity. But she should be a big shot in the Federation. She is your loyal fan. From four years ago, she attended all of your concerts and she would pay ten times the price to buy the best seat. The best seat is always reserved for her. She should be your fangirl. The only thing I can confirm is that she is a girl. Hmph!”
Le Qingling then looked at Tang Le cheekily.
She was sure that VIP number one guest was a woman, but this person always appeared in the best private room, so even Tang Le had never seen her before.
With her support for Tang Le, she was already qualified to meet him, but she seemed to be very reserved and had never made such a request to Tang Le’s management company.
Ever since having that VIP number one guest, Tang Le’s development had been smooth sailing in recent years.
There was competition in all industries, and the competition in the celebrity industry was especially intense. There were even people who hired and murdered people. But ever since this VIP number one guest appeared, all the exclusion, pressure, and all sorts of methods against Tang Le disappeared completely. The environment around Tang Le suddenly became pure, and this made the management company heave a sigh of relief.
One must know that although Tang Le’s agency was ranked among the top in the industry, it wasn’t as if there weren’t other agencies of the same rank! Mr Le was so famous and brought about such huge economic benefits, how could others not be jealous?
Hence, in the past few years, all sorts of methods on the surface and under the surface had been employed. Especially poaching. More than 10 families were willing to bear astronomical compensation for this. Hence, Le Qingling was extremely busy.
Tang Le’s attitude was very simple. He actually didn’t have any special feelings for the agency but he said that he was very lazy and since the agency treated him quite well, why would he need to change? Then, he left everything to Le Qingling. He told her that he would do whatever she decided. If she wanted him to change, he would do it. It was just that he didn’t want too much work.
Le Qingling was very satisfied with Tang Le’s upright attitude, but she also thought that for Tang Le’s image, it was better not to jump ship so easily. In fact, there was no need to. Not to mention that Tang Le didn’t know how much money he had, even Le Qingling couldn’t remember how many assets he had. Anyway, she had turned a lot of money into real estate and big company stocks.
And ever since that VIP number one guest appeared, all the competition had disappeared and no one came to poach him anymore. Le Qingling immediately relaxed, so she very much approved of this mysterious VIP number one guest. This was what an outstanding fan ought to do.
Of course, there was also negative news that said that Mr Le was being kept by a super-rich lady from some major power. Strangely enough, that VIP didn’t seem to care about such negative news and the news wasn’t banned.
Shrek City was a place forbidden for all agencies to enter. They could only be invited on Shrek’s initiative. Over the years, there were very few celebrities who were invited to perform in Shrek City. Here, what the Federation’s words had no power. Only Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect’s words were useful.
Hence, being able to be invited to Shrek City’s performance this time had undoubtedly raised Mr Le’s reputation to another level. Only people from the inside knew that this seemed to be related to that VIP number one guest. She was actually able to establish a relationship with Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, which made the management company even more respectful towards her.
“Your little friend is short on tickets?” Le Qingling asked.
Master Le was stunned. “I don’t know! Leave 100 tickets for him. What if he wants to bring his classmates here?”
Le Qingling rolled her eyes. “Do you think our tickets are cabbages? 100 tickets. Even our company’s boss wouldn’t be able to afford it, let alone me. I’ll try my best to get a big private room. I can squeeze in 20 to 30 people.”
“Oh, alright.” Mr Le has always been easy-going.
Lan Mengqin returned. On the morning of Lan Xuanyu’s return, she returned from Heaven Dou Planet. When she heard that Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu were going to make a breakthrough that night, she immediately expressed that she wanted to join them without hesitation and participate together. Nana agreed.
The location of the breakthrough was not at Sea God Lake but in Lan Xuanyu’s dorm meditation room.
Thanks for the update

The VIP number one guest is pissing me off considering it is most likely the pavilion master. She has met Nana and knows about Wulin and should have also guessed Xuanyu’s true identity by now yet does not bother to try and introduce them.
Considering how Gu Yuena and Wulin practically committed double suicide out of their love for each other you would think the pavilion master would try and reunite them especially when they have a child. I hope she isn’t keeping them apart cause she is jealous and still hasn’t moved on from Wulin.

Well, sadly that’s still the case given how she treated gu yuena.
And I don’t think she knows mc is their child. Shrek would give him vip treatment and god level teachers if they knew…
what makes me wonder is how she and the vice master are still alive after 10.000 years when the live school can’t get close to that number…

She treated Gu Yuena more indifferently, but was willing to let her become a teacher at Shrek.
As for Xuanyu she has to know if she is who we think she is, she’s genius. A child that looks like Gu Yuena and Wulin, has their bloodlines and blue silver grass martial soul, is a monster of a genius, gets special attention from both Gu Yuena and Wulin, has the ring/super divine weapon that Wulin used to propose to Gu Yuena.
For anyone that knows the two and was there during the final battle there are plenty of clues to figure out that Xuanyu is their child.

It doesn’t help any of them to know at the moment. The Pavilion Master probably doesn’t know either, just that these two people are strange in that they decided to help one boy.
Everyone else is just like, that’s a bit wierd but apparently powerhouses are very strange because they can act almost any way they like within the law, like how Dugu Bo was able to do basically what he’d like due to him being a Title Doulou.

She knows she recognised Nana and Xuanyu has both Nana’s and Wulin’s bloodlines as well as the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd. Not to mention he looks like Wulin. Add the fact both Nana and Wulin are so found of him and that it is likely the Eternal Tree picked Xuanyu as successor of the life school she has enough to figure out who he is.
Dugu Bo was a different time, back then Title Douluo were few in number and invincible, nor did they have soul tools to strength normal people. A Title Douluo in those times was a threat to an country and only another Title Douluo could stop them.

i agree, most likely pavilion master at work here.
and she is the only one who knows everything. she met nana and for sure she got a report on tang le entering shrek and watching + helping xuanyu. she most likely even sensed it herself.
going for a second chance after 10.000 years isn’t a bad thing per se, but doing so fully knowing that both are still alive is down right detestable.
i don’t know why the little new student from dd3 is still alive, but i always thought ling zichen did something with wulins blood after she was resurrected by tang hao.
it was confirmed back then that wulins dragon bloodline was enough for him to have the same longlivity as a true dragon and she wasn’t called mad scientist for nothing.
i’m not sure if academy knows xuanyu is their son. they died for each other and the shrek devils + dragon saber are – in my opinion – the only ones left alive that might have known about the two of them being together that night.
but even if they knew, xuanyu wouldn’t get any more preferential treatment. because shrek creates monsters, not little pampered princes 😉
and thanks for the chapter. by now i fully understand why you chose to do the break before releasing these few chapters. the cliff would have killed us all^^

Tang Hao said planet Douluo could evolve into a pseudo divine realm and even posses some godseats in the future. So it is possible that Ling Zichen and Yi Zichen were able to live long enough using Wulin’s blood sample from back then for planet Douluo to evolve to the point it can produce its own godseats. In which case those two being the oldest and strongest of the rank 100+ soul masters would get them. So it could be they managed to become True Gods who are Truly Immortal. Would explain why they are still alive.
Ling Zichen should know she was there during the final battle so she knows the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd and also knows Wulin used it to propose to Gu Yuena. Xuanyu looks like Wulin has both the Silver Dragon King and Gold Dragon King Bloodlines which is impossible to have without being related to them. Add that both Gu Yuena, Wulin and even the Eternal tree give him special attention she should be able to figure it out.
