Chapter 141: Great Tang Entertainment City

At this moment, Lin Qingqian and Qin Nan completely became the center of attention.

As for Ye Tianci, who was quietly following behind them, everyone treated him like air because he was simply too unremarkable!

The music was roaring, and several women were dancing passionately on the stage.

The three of them came over and sat down at a booth directly facing the stage.

"This spot is great, perfect for listening to tunes in a pleasure quarter."

Qin Nan pulled Lin Qingqian down to sit.

A waiter stepped forward, but neither Qin Nan nor Lin Qingqian had any experience ordering drinks; it was obvious that both young women were visiting a place like this for the very first time.

As for Ye Tianci, needless to say, he was a complete novice.

After the waiter made some recommendations, the two women finally ordered a few bottles of alcohol.

At a nearby booth sat three young men, whose luxurious attire reflected their extraordinary status.

The man in the middle had multiple bruises on his face, with a piece of gauze pasted over the corner of his eye, making him look somewhat comical. He was none other than Zhao Xiujie, the young master of Qingshan Jewelry.

The men on Zhao Xiujie's left and right both stared lewdly at Lin Qingqian and Qin Nan.

"These two beauties are dripping with charm!"

"Even television stars are nothing compared to them. I never imagined Shucheng had such peerless beauties!"

Zhao Xiujie caught sight of Ye Tianci and gritted his teeth, humming, "The two of them—one is named Lin Qingqian, and the other is Qin Nan. They're both my classmates."

"See that punk next to them? His name is Ye Tianci. If we want to mess with them, we've got to deal with that surnamed Ye brat first."

"Brother Jie, why don't you call some guys to handle him?"

Zhao Xiujie chugged a mouthful of alcohol, which aggravated the injury on his face, making him wince and bare his teeth. "With Young Master Shen here tonight, there's no need to call anyone for dirty work."

"Just a few words from me will be enough to make Young Master Shen teach him a lesson!"

He raised his wrist to check the time and frowned slightly, muttering, "Why hasn't Young Master Shen arrived yet?"

Just as the words left his mouth, the blaring music suddenly stopped!

The dancing women also froze in their tracks!

The surrounding lights all dimmed.

"Ladies! Gentlemen! Let us warmly welcome tonight's Son of Light!"

Accompanied by the host's roar, a bright spotlight shone toward the entrance!

It landed on a young man dressed in a white suit!

He was tall, with an extraordinary bearing, a faint smile hanging on his face, and the corners of his lips curled upward as he raised a hand to acknowledge the crowd.

"Welcome Young Master Shen back from overseas, returning in glory!"

"Tonight, Young Master Shen has booked the entire venue! Drinks and expenses for everyone present are on Young Master Shen!"

"Let us all cheer for Young Master Shen!"

The host's voice spread to every corner through the speakers.

"Woo-hoo!"

Whistles erupted, and cheers thundered.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two young women in sultry outfits pulled the strings of party poppers.

Colorful confetti fluttered all across the sky!

Amidst the roaring cheers and whistles, and beneath the showering confetti, Young Master Shen walked slowly onto the stage.

The spotlight remained fixed on him, making him the one and only unique focus of the entire room!

Upon reaching the stage, Young Master Shen held the microphone, gave a light cough, and said, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Shen Zun."

"Tonight, everyone's expenses here are covered by me! Eat, drink, and make merry to your heart's content!"

Off the stage, the crowd cheered, chanting Young Master Shen's name in unison.

Shen Zun had reaped a full measure of prestige!

The multicolored lights began to flash wildly, the deafening music blasted once again, and the dancers resumed their passionate routines.

The crowd began to revel.

"Young Master Shen, over here!"

The companions beside Zhao Xiujie ushered Shen Zun over to their table.

After downing two glasses of wine, Zhao Xiujie secretly pointed toward the table where Lin Qingqian and Qin Nan were sitting and whispered a few words into Shen Zun's ear.

Upon seeing Lin Qingqian and Qin Nan, Shen Zun raised an eyebrow. He had possessed quite a few beauties in his past, but he had never laid eyes on two women of such peerless grace.

They were absolute masterpieces of the mortal world!

"Zhao Xiujie, go invite them over to have a few drinks with me," Shen Zun said domineeringly.

"Understood!"

Zhao Xiujie responded with excitement, stood up, and limped his way toward Ye Tianci's table.

His heart was pounding with excitement; tonight, he would definitely leverage Young Master Shen's overwhelming influence to take his revenge and wash away his humiliation!

He was going to make Ye Tianci suffer a catastrophic loss of face!

Arriving at Lin Qingqian's table, Zhao Xiujie put on an arrogant front: "Ye Tianci, I never imagined we'd run into each other again."

Lin Qingqian and Qin Nan both furrowed their delicate brows as they looked at him.

Ye Tianci said indifferently, "Zhao Xiujie, it seems Zhong Shaokun didn't beat you half to death, since you still have the mood to come out and play."

"Cut the crap!"

Zhao Xiujie arrogantly thrust out two fingers. "Two things!"

"First, you need to offer me a formal apology and pay two million—I'm not even asking for much."

"Second, Lin Qingqian and Qin Nan are coming over to keep Young Master Shen company and have a drink."

As he spoke, he stepped aside to reveal Shen Zun in the distance, raising his glass to signal them.

"Zhao Xiujie, you have zero shame. It's a miracle we were ever classmates," Lin Qingqian said coldly.

Ye Tianci looked at Zhao Xiujie and said, "The only reason you dared to come crawling back to me is because you're relying on this so-called Young Master Shen as your backing, right? Fine, have your backing come over here."

Zhao Xiujie sneered and motioned for the young master to approach.

Holding his wine glass, Shen Zun walked over to the table, completely ignoring Ye Tianci, and fixed his gaze directly on Lin Qingqian. "My lovely young lady, I am Shen Zun. Would you grant me the honor of sharing a drink with you?"

He was full of grace and exceptionally dashing.

Ye Tianci spoke up, "If you ask her to drink with you, someone isn't going to agree."

Shen Zun's expression darkened. "I've booked this entire venue tonight; no one dares refuse to give me face. Who wouldn't agree?"

"Who on earth would dare refuse?"

"Me."

Ye Tianci said it casually.

Shen Zun cast a disdainful glance at Ye Tianci and curled his finger. "Stand up."

"Speak if you have something to say, spit it out if you have farts to release," Ye Tianci replied with a detached demeanor.

"Oh?"

Shen Zun raised an eyebrow, let out a thoroughly contemptuous hum, and said, "Tonight, out of everyone present, not a single soul dares deny Shen Zun face. You're the absolute only one!"

"Since you're so damn arrogant, state your name and let this young master broaden his horizons."

Zhao Xiujie chimed in from the side, "Young Master Shen, this punk's name is Ye Tianci, and he's utterly arrogant!"

Shen Zun scoffed dismissively, "Never heard of him!"

"Brat, I originally intended to spare you a shred of dignity, but since you're so unappreciative of favors, I won't bother being polite anymore."

With that, he scribbled out a check and tossed it right in front of Ye Tianci.

"Here is one hundred thousand yuan, take it and get lost! Both of these little beauties are staying behind to keep me company and listen to tunes!"

Ye Tianci stared at him coldly.

"What are you staring at? Still not leaving? Do you want this young master to beat you to a pulp?"

Shen Zun menacingly pointed right at the bridge of Ye Tianci's nose.

Ye Tianci picked up the check from the table, tore it to shreds with a rip-rip sound, stuffed the pieces straight into Shen Zun's pocket, and said expressionlessly, "I'll give you one chance: get the hell out of here as far as your legs can carry you!"

Shen Zun's eyes widened in fury. "You dare provoke me?"

"Young Master Shen, this brat simply has zero respect for you! You spent all that money booking the place and inviting everyone for drinks, yet he won't even give you this basic face!"

"You absolutely cannot let him get away with this!"

Zhao Xiujie added fuel to the fire right beside them.

Shen Zun was indeed thoroughly incensed. He pointed his finger arrogantly at Ye Tianci and barked, "Who gave you the guts to provoke me? Do you even know who I am? Do you know who my father is?!"

"Why don't you enlighten me," Ye Tianci said coldly.

"Then listen up and tremble! My father is none other than Shen Wanshan, the Southern God of Wealth of Shucheng!"

"I am the son of the Southern God of Wealth!"

Shen Zun looked extremely pleased with himself, radiating absolute pride.

Ye Tianci blinked. He hadn't expected that this arrogant returned-from-overseas young master was actually Shen Wanshan's son—meaning he was Shen Ying's older brother. They shared the exact same temperaments.

Arrogant, and completely lacking self-awareness.

It seemed both of Shen Wanshan's children were in dire need of a solid lesson.

While Ye Tianci was lost in thought, in Shen Zun's eyes, his current expression looked precisely like he had been scared out of his wits.

Shen Zun let out a smug, triumphant chuckle. "Scared now, aren't you? Then hurry up and crawl out of here! As for the two little beauties by your side, they're staying right here to keep this young master company for drinks and music."
