C10 Filming a Tv Series

"I'll definitely have to check it out later. It's bound to be spectacular!"

Those people exclaimed with awe.

Upon hearing their voices, Lee Xuan's eyes sparkled with excitement.

He had spotted his golden opportunity!

Loong Ling truly was a living advertisement!

Brimming with delight, Lee Xuan stepped forward and called out loudly, "Azure Cloud Academy is enrolling students right here, right now! If you want to be as stylish and stunning as this fairy sister, come and sign up quickly! Azure Cloud Academy is recruiting online!"

Lee Xuan wouldn't pass up any chance to boost his fame and attract students.

The crowd was somewhat baffled by Lee Xuan's announcement.

"Azure Cloud Academy? What is that?"

"Is it like Wudang Mountain, a place to learn martial arts?"

"Did this fairy sister train at the Azure Cloud Academy? But I'm not interested in becoming a star..."

"If the Azure Cloud Academy is home to such gorgeous women, I'd like to check it out too..."

Even though few were genuinely intrigued, thinking it was merely a performance, the name Azure Cloud Academy nonetheless stuck in the minds of all those present.

"Congratulations, host! The Azure Cloud Academy is now known by a hundred people, earning an increase in fame! Rewards: Alchemy! Qi Gazing Technique! Kunlun Sword!"

Lee Xuan was elated, but the boss in his forties or fifties beside him was not.

This boss was named Nangong Kun.

With a local tycoon for a relative, his family wielded considerable influence. He had always been a lazy playboy, and even at his age, he continued his indulgent lifestyle, secure in the knowledge that others were always there to handle his affairs. They had to butter him up to seek help from his elder brother.

Thus, Nangong Kun had become quite unruly.

And when it came to the small-time celebrities in the entertainment industry, they were just pawns for him to manipulate.

He was the one giving Loong Ling a chance, but she, the naive girl, failed to appreciate it.

With this thought, Nangong Kun's face contorted with frustration.

In just a few days, Loong Ling had changed beyond recognition.

He was unable to control Loong Ling, who had instead injured quite a few of his people.

Nangong Kun set his sights on Lee Xuan, who appeared fragile and slightly out of touch, bizarrely choosing to advertise at such a moment.

"Capture him!"

Nangong Kun saw Lee Xuan as a vulnerability to exploit.

Upon hearing this, Loong Ling instinctively moved to protect Lee Xuan, reinforcing Nangong Kun's belief in his own assessment.

What he failed to realize was that Loong Ling's reaction was purely instinctual; in reality, Lee Xuan was exponentially stronger than her.

"I had intended to remain an observer, yet you've compelled me to get involved. Alas..."

Lee Xuan shook his head in sympathy, looking at Nangong Kun as one would look at a dead man.

In the span of a single breath, everyone around had collapsed.

Only Lee Xuan remained standing.

Even the onlookers gaped in astonishment, their mouths agape for what seemed like an eternity.

"He's truly formidable... I didn't even catch a glimpse of his move. It was practically invisible..."

Lee Xuan, standing on Nangong Kun's stomach, remarked, "I had no desire to intervene. Why did you have to provoke me?"

"You... do you have any idea who I am?"

"Do you know who I am?" Lee Xuan asked sternly, startling Nangong Kun.

He had assumed Lee Xuan had some significant background.

"You... Who are you?"

"I'm your father."

With that, Lee Xuan delivered a slap to Nangong Kun.

Humiliated, Nangong Kun writhed on the ground while Loong Ling stared at her hand in disbelief.

"Now that you've reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, it's no surprise that these ordinary folks are no match for you."

"Foundation Establishment Realm? Are you cultivators?!"

Nangong Kun cried out in shock, and even Lee Xuan turned to look with surprise.

In this world, the Spiritual Energy Revival was a privilege of the hidden family's cultivation.

Realizing that the two were cultivators filled Nangong Kun with immense regret.

Had he known about Loong Ling's prowess, he would never have dared to cross her.

"I apologize; I was blind to your greatness... Loong Ling, please spare me! I'll provide you with resources. You want to be a singer, right? I'll have them promote you, invest heavily in your career! Had I known you were a cultivator, I never would have acted this way..."

Nangong Kun's current predicament was entirely due to the Nangong family's support. In truth, he was nothing more than a failure.

With a face marred by bitterness, he lamented his fate.

It was hard to believe that someone who had been so haughty just moments before could now be reduced to a tear-stained mess. But Nangong Kun was inherently unattractive, and his tears only served to repulse others rather than evoke sympathy.

"…"

Once upon a time, Loong Ling might have been thrilled to learn that Nangong Kun was willing to spend lavishly on her. But now, having glimpsed the vastness of the world beyond, she felt he was beneath her.

"Bring out her contract."

Lee Xuan was no fool. Now that Nangong Ling had joined his sect, he wouldn't allow her to be bound by any outside contracts.

Shaking, Nangong Kun instructed his subordinate to fetch Loong Ling's contract.

When Lee Xuan reviewed the contract, he was appalled. This pathetic company had locked Loong Ling into a ten-year personal servitude contract. For a decade, she would be tied to them, with the company claiming eighty percent of her earnings.

Lee Xuan couldn't help but laugh in disbelief. "You've got some nerve. How could you dare to present such a contract to deceive people?"

"…"

Nangong Kun was filled with remorse.

He had taken advantage of Loong Ling's naivety and lack of support when she was new to the industry, tricking her into signing.

Sitting quietly, Loong Ling was only now realizing she had agreed to what was essentially a slave contract.

"This contract is void. Draft a new one," Lee Xuan declared, his fingers flying over the keyboard as he typed up a new agreement. Nangong Kun watched, his heart quaking with fear, yet he dared not object.

He was terrified of crossing Lee Xuan, and even more so of the powerful figures backing him.

With a timid glance, Nangong Kun watched Lee Xuan and kept silent. The new contract Lee Xuan drafted was entirely in Loong Ling's favor. She would be free to enjoy the benefits, keeping ninety percent of her earnings for herself.

Such a contract would be unheard of even for A-list stars, yet Nangong Kun didn't dare utter a single word of protest; he simply nodded in acquiescence.

Lee Xuan, now content, dismissed Nangong Kun with a wave of his hand.

"Are we just going to let him walk away like that? What if he seeks revenge after this?" Loong Ling expressed her concern.

Nangong Kun was indeed a man of extreme pettiness.

He harbored a grudge against Loong Ling and wanted her dead, all because she had spurned him.
