Chapter 10

At this moment, Xiao Wei's phone rang. After answering a call, she said with a hint of hesitation, "Su Yang, would it be okay if your sister takes you home first? I just received a call from my agent, and there's a very important charity gala that I must attend. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you. If you get home late, just go to bed first, okay?"

"What is an agent?" Su Yang squinted his eyes and asked curiously.

"An agent helps me manage various interpersonal relationships and negotiates different jobs for me," Xiao Wei explained.

Su Yang nodded, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Sister Xiao, usually one has to bring a male or female companion to a gala. Are you planning to attend alone?"

Xiao Wei hadn't expected Su Yang to know this. She blinked and said, "There's no time to invite anyone. It's too rushed."

"That's easy. I'll accompany you then."

As he spoke, Su Yang elegantly bowed, bending his arm to indicate that Xiao Wei should hook it. His every move exuded a noble demeanor.

To be honest, although Su Yang was only twelve years old, due to his cultivation of the Nine Transformations of the Azure Sky, his development was far beyond that of his peers. He was only half a head shorter than the 1.72-meter-tall Xiao Wei, and his posture was very upright. Apart from his youthful and handsome appearance, he could hardly be mistaken for an adult. Otherwise, he could pass for a teenager of sixteen or seventeen.

"Wow, where did you learn this? It's very standard European etiquette," Xiao Wei covered her mouth in surprise.

"Well, I've roamed around Europe for quite a few years. These noble etiquettes are quite simple and are highly favored by girls, so it's not a big deal to learn them," Su Yang said with a rather mature tone, which made Xiao Wei find it amusing. Although she didn't believe him, she happily accepted Su Yang's offer.

"Alright, tonight I'll have this European gentleman accompany me to the gala. By the way, I haven't danced with anyone for a long time. You can show off tonight."

The charity gala was held in the international banquet hall of the Four Seasons Hotel. When Xiao Wei and Su Yang arrived at the banquet hall, the gala had already started.

As soon as they entered the hall, a man in a blue tuxedo with glasses stopped Xiao Wei and said in his broken Mandarin, "Miss Xiao, you're finally here. Please follow me quickly. Several important guests are waiting to meet you."

Xiao Wei smiled at the man. "Andy, let me introduce you. This is my brother, Su Yang. He's my dance partner for tonight."

Then she turned to Su Yang and said, "This is my agent, Andy."

"Your brother?" The man in glasses was taken aback and stared at Su Yang for a while.

Su Yang's first impression of this man was not good. Being stared at for so long, he became annoyed and shook his head. "I understand what an agent is. In ancient times, they were like the inn boys who lured customers at the inn's entrance."

Su Yang's words made the man in glasses feel very depressed. However, since Xiao Wei was present and the man was referred to as her brother, he couldn't react. He turned his head and urged, "Miss Xiao, let's go quickly. Those important guests can't be offended."

Xiao Wei, who had already understood Su Yang's free-spirited nature, agreed and pointed to the自助餐台 (buffet table) in the banquet hall. "I'll come back to find you later. You can find something to eat first."

To be honest, Su Yang was quite hungry. He nodded and said, "Alright," then went to find food on his own.

The man in glasses led the way, still complaining, "Miss Xiao, when did you have a brother? Although he's just a child, if his background is unclear, it could affect your reputation..."

Although they had already walked far away, Su Yang could still hear him. He thought to himself, "You little inn boy, I didn't bother you, but you're giving me a hard time. I'll remember this."

This charity gala was jointly organized by five major domestic companies, ostensibly to help children in poor mountainous areas. In reality, such galas were more about inviting celebrities to enhance the companies' visibility and expand their networks.

The attendees were all wealthy and influential, and no one cared about the money raised for charity. The goal was to network with powerful people.

Many celebrities were also invited to the gala. After all, one of the five companies was a listed film company and another was a listed record company, so their artists naturally came to support their employers.

Xiao Wei came for the same reason. She had been in the industry for nearly ten years, and her contract would expire in about half a year. She had a good relationship with the film company she was signed to and planned to establish her own film company after the contract expired, which was already in the works.

However, such matters couldn't be openly discussed. During the contract period, she had to give face to her employer. Even after the contract expired, she didn't want to offend them easily.

After all, the film company named "Ao Yuan" had a significant influence in the Chinese and international film markets.

Su Yang naturally didn't care about the purpose of the charity gala. With a voracious appetite, he finished three large plates of meat and vegetables in less than ten minutes, like a hungry wolf.

Fortunately, Su Yang considered Xiao Wei's reputation and ate very elegantly. Although he ate quickly, he didn't appear crude.

His dining etiquette was on par with that of European royalty. After all, during his travels in Europe and America, Su Yang had interacted with many nobles and even royal family members. His name, "Su Yang," was highly regarded in the upper echelons of society at that time.

There were many children of the elite at the gala, and Su Yang's elegant demeanor and handsome appearance quickly caught the attention of several young girls.

However, Su Yang's gentlemanly and elegant behavior was for Xiao Wei's sake. For these young, inexperienced girls, he gave a response that he considered polite, "Stay away from me!"

After several girls who had hoped for a memorable romantic encounter with the handsome young man were rebuffed, no one disturbed Su Yang's meal until a familiar voice sounded in his ear.

"Mr. Su, you're here too!"

Turning around, he saw Xu Chongyang.

"Where you can go, I can go too," Su Yang replied coolly. A thought suddenly came to him, and he smiled slightly, waving to Xu Chongyang. "Boy, come here. I have a question for you."

Xu Chongyang, who knew Su Yang's true identity, immediately approached respectfully, sitting next to Su Yang and leaning in. "What can I do for you, Mr. Su?"

"See that guy over there? Do you know him?" Su Yang pointed to the man in glasses who was leading Xiao Wei in a conversation with a middle-aged, well-dressed man.

"He looks familiar. He seems to be Miss Xiao's agent. Yes, that's right. He's also the vice president of Ao Yuan Film Company and the representative for this charity auction."

"Is this company very powerful?"

"Average, I guess. They have assets of over a billion, and my father holds 15% of their shares. It's a well-developed company," Xu Chongyang said, shrugging. "By the way, if I remember correctly, Mr. Su is currently staying at Miss Xiao's place, right?"

"You guys did your research pretty quickly," Su Yang said without much concern. "I'm quite comfortable there. Don't come and disturb me and my sister when we're sleeping."

Xu Chongyang's forehead was covered with three black lines. He had heard many stories about Su Yang's past romantic adventures from his grandfather, Xu Tianyang, but combined with Su Yang's current appearance and age, it was quite amusing.

However, from Su Yang's words, Xu Chongyang could tell that his employer and Xiao Wei had a good relationship, and he even considered Xiao Wei as his employer's woman.

"Mr. Su, it's best to persuade Miss Xiao to return early tonight. The fat man she's talking to is not a good person. From what I know, he has slept with at least five top-tier female celebrities in China."

"What? He dares to have designs on my woman!"

Su Yang suddenly stood up, startling Xu Chongyang. He hadn't expected such a strong reaction. "Mr. Su, let me handle it. I'll make sure he gives up. It's not good to make a big scene."

To be honest, over his nine transformations, Su Yang had killed countless men who had designs on his women, including nobles, royal family members, and peak powerhouses. This guy was too insignificant to be a challenge.

However, over the past thousand years, Su Yang had also experienced a setback, which was with the woman he found hardest to forget, Nie Lingbo. This happened during his third transformation and rebirth.

At that time, Su Yang learned that the legendary expert of the Turks, Zhan Xuan, who had already reached the peak of the Void Shattering Realm, had invaded the Sword Academy with the legendary sword "Ju Que" to harm Nie Lingbo.

Su Yang rushed across half of China in two days to reach the Sword Academy, only to find that Zhan Xuan had already been beheaded by Nie Lingbo using the "Heavenly Sword Technique."

This battle established Nie Lingbo's reputation as the invincible Holy Maiden of the Sword Academy.

This was the first time in Su Yang's history that he had failed in a hero-saving-beauty scenario.

Recalling this, Su Yang's lips curled slightly, and he waved his hand. "Don't worry about it. Go do your work. Whether there's a scene or not depends on him, not me."

Xu Chongyang, who dared not disobey Su Yang's orders, got up and left but still felt uneasy. He immediately called his father.

Meanwhile, Su Yang had already activated his Azure Sky True Qi to eavesdrop on the fat man, who was laughing heartily a few dozen meters away.

"Miss Xiao, I am your most loyal fan. I've kept all your movie posters since your first film. Meeting you today is a great honor. I toast to you," the fat man raised his wine glass, squinting his eyes and smiling.

"Mr. Li, you flatter me too much."

Xiao Wei also raised her glass and took a small sip, smiling politely. "I'm glad to meet you. A few old friends have arrived, so I'll go greet them."
