”Wanyu, wait for us!”

Her two roommates hurried after her, their faces plastered with sycophantic smiles.

Jiang Wanyu’s expression darkened. She was truly speechless when it came to these two roommates.

Wringing their hands, they chuckled sheepishly and said,

”Wanyu, could you take us inside with you?”

”Yeah, Wanyu, we came with you! How could you just ditch us and go in by yourself?”

However, Xue Qingqing, who was standing nearby, had an ugly expression on her face. She knew that these two roommates had abandoned Jiang Wanyu just a short while ago, mocking her relentlessly.

Seeing that Jiang Wanyu was too embarrassed to respond, Xue Qingqing turned directly to a nearby security guard and ordered,

”Guard, these two girls are bad news. Remember their faces and don’t let them in!”

The guard immediately nodded and said,

”Yes, Miss Xue!”

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyu’s two roommates fell into despair.

They had come specifically for the concert, but now they had been barred entry by Xue Qingqing herself.

One could only imagine how they would soon become a laughingstock among the fans!

Without a backward glance, Xue Qingqing then led Jiang Wanyu inside, head held high.

Qin Tuo and his group also walked into the venue, followed by the envious gazes of the crowd.

Once inside, Xue Qingqing got Jiang Wanyu and the others settled before heading backstage alone.

The show was about to start, so she had to go prepare.

The seats Xue Qingqing had arranged for Qin Tuo’s group were all prime spots in the very first row, the perfect place to get a clear view of their idol’s performance.

By now, the audience was gradually filling the venue, and the show was about to begin.

Under a dazzling display of stage lights, the concert officially began.

When Xue Qingqing took the stage, the atmosphere in the entire venue exploded.

Countless fans shrieked at the top of their lungs, their faces flushed red as they cheered for their idol.

As a huge fan, Jiang Wanyu was also shouting and screaming with excitement, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Xue Qingqing stood on stage and began to sing the first song of the night.

Halfway through the song, however, Qin Tuo started to feel a little uneasy, his gaze flickering elsewhere from time to time.

He didn’t know if Xue Qingqing was doing it intentionally or not, but she kept looking in his direction with a slightly teasing gaze that made him uncomfortable all over.

He knew if Chen Man Ni, who was right next to him, caught on to this, there would be trouble.

But it was no use; Chen Man Ni eventually noticed something was off.

Her woman’s intuition was incredibly sharp, and Xue Qingqing was being far too bold, her gaze sweeping unreservedly in their direction. It was only natural she’d be found out.

Chen Man Ni turned to Jiang Wanyu beside her and asked thoughtfully,

”Wanyu, who do you like more? Your sister-in-law, or Miss Xue on the stage?”

The moment she asked the question, Qin Tuo, who was sitting right there, naturally heard it. His heart instantly tightened as he silently waited for Jiang Wanyu’s answer.

Jiang Wanyu just smiled and said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world,

”You, of course, Sister-in-law!”

Hearing this, a hint of a smile appeared in Chen Man Ni’s eyes, and she nodded in satisfaction.

Jiang Wanyu then asked curiously,

”Sister-in-law, why did you ask that question?”

Chen Man Ni didn’t say anything, merely shooting a meaningful glance at Qin Tuo beside her.

Qin Tuo, completely embarrassed, quickly turned his head away, not daring to meet Chen Man Ni’s gaze.

The concert gradually reached its climax, followed by a sing-along with the entire audience that was both exhilarating and stirring!

Finally, the concert came to a perfect conclusion, the curtain gradually falling.

After the concert, Qin Tuo prepared to leave with the others.

Just then, Xue Qingqing, who had just gotten off stage and hadn’t even had time to remove her makeup, ran right over to say goodbye to Qin Tuo.

”Mr. Qin, I have to head back soon!”

Xue Qingqing said, gazing affectionately at Qin Tuo.

Qin Tuo cleared his throat and asked politely,

”Miss Xue, why not stay and have some fun in Ming City for a couple more days?”

Qin Tuo was only asking to be polite, but Xue Qingqing replied teasingly,

”I’m afraid if I stay any longer, you’ll have a hard time explaining it to your girlfriend!”

Hearing this, Qin Tuo was left completely speechless, not knowing how to respond.

’So this woman knows she’s playing with fire,’ he thought to himself. ’If she knows that, why does she keep doing it over and over again?’

Qin Tuo opened his mouth, about to ask something else, but Xue Qingqing quickly cut in,

”Mr. Qin, I’ll be back in Ming City again soon anyway. You can treat me to dinner next time!”

Qin Tuo was perplexed and asked curiously,

”Miss Xue, have you gotten addicted to holding concerts in Ming City?”

Xue Qingqing pursed her lips into a smile, shook her head, and said,

”No, Mr. Qin. My dad has agreed to let me deliver all the Spirit Stones from now on, so I’ll have plenty of opportunities to come to Ming City and find you for fun!”

Only then did Qin Tuo understand. So that was the reason.

He immediately felt a faint headache coming on. From now on, Xue Qingqing would probably be showing up every other day. He would inevitably have to do a lot of explaining to Chen Man Ni.

Just then, seeing Xue Qingqing and Qin Tuo talking and laughing together, the look in Chen Man Ni’s eyes gradually turned hostile.

Xue Qingqing let out a chuckle, then waved her hand and turned to leave.

Seeing the look on Chen Man Ni’s face, Qin Tuo could only shake his head and smile wryly.

’Forget it. I’ll just have to explain it all to her properly when we get back!’

Qin Tuo thought to himself.

Jiang Wanyu, on the other hand, had grown much closer to Xue Qingqing. Seeing that she was about to leave, she reluctantly went up and chatted with her for a bit before letting her go.

And with that, the concert was officially over. Qin Tuo led the girls out of the venue.

Qin Tuo had only recently reached the Grain Avoidance Stage, and after a good night’s sleep, his body was brimming with energy.

Despite this, he still needed to properly consolidate his cultivation to prevent any instability in his realm after just entering the Grain Avoidance Stage.

For the next three days, Qin Tuo stayed in the villa, not going anywhere.

Over those three days, he finally managed to completely stabilize his cultivation realm.

That morning, Ouyang Tianqi suddenly came to visit Qin Tuo.

Qin Tuo was a little curious. Ouyang Tianqi was a rare visitor who wouldn’t disturb him without a good reason.

And so, filled with curiosity, Qin Tuo received Ouyang Tianqi in the villa’s main hall.
