Chapter 112: 112: Cruise Ship Party (6)

On the Cruise ship...

The Charity Party had begun. The host of the party, Young master Tian Qiuya, went up to the stage and began the charity party. With everyone's attention on the stage, those who had gathered in this party had their own intentions for doing so. There are those who are in it for fame; after all, the top five biggest donors will be called on stage and be given a special gift as thanks for their donation.

While the others are here to find their prey, whether it is to look for investors, a certain connection or even a lover,. On the ship, there is almost no escape as it drives through the sea in the middle of the night. In this place and at this hour, almost everything is possible.

On the stage, Young master Tian Qiuya took the microphone and smiled at all the guests who were invited or referred to by people who had gathered.

"Ahem! Good evening, Everyone. I am the host of this party. Most of you have heard my name. Even so, Let me properly introduce myself once again. I am named Qiuya and surnamed Tian. It's a pleasure to have everyone at this charity party tonight."

"As you all know, the charity donation for tonight will be sent to rural provinces to be used for subsidies on those places with poor people. It will be used to build houses, orphanages, schools, hospitals and even roads. This is to help them slowly be civilized, educated, and protected from diseases and illness. Every single penny will help one orphan and provide support to them until they become adults."

"This is also to change our country for the better. The mainland and major cities can't be the only ones to be civilized and modernized. We should also help those who are from us. This charity is for the sake of helping those in need, and of course, none of it will enter my pockets. The old man in my family will definitely beat me up if I do that."

The last few sentences are made up of a joke, which instantly lightens the atmosphere on the cruise ship. Young master Qiuya spoke a few more words before finally heading to the main event, where the top three donors will be called on stage. Actually, most people on the ship had donated a certain amount to show their support for the charity, but in reality, they just wanted to curry favors for this famous young master. Most donations range from ten thousand to millions.

A subordinate of his passed a piece of paper with names on it. These are the names of the top five donors for tonight's party. His lips couldn't help but twitch when he saw the names on the paper. He looked up and met his subordinate who made the list, and the man immediately avoided his gaze. Obviously, these gestures told him that he was only a shrimp; how could he fight against the whale on the upper deck?

Young master Qiuya looked at the upper deck of the cruise ship and noticed that all five old masters and a young lady escorted by them like a queen were all preparing to come on stage. He wanted to pinch his temples, but as the host of the party, he is not allowed to show such an ugly expression while on stage.

The charity for tonight is something he poured his sweat into, and he is not willing to lose it. Moreover, it is better to let the big names take the stage. It can be used as a feast for the eyes and ears of these guests to know the bigshots of this country. 

"Haha~ it seems we will have a big surprise tonight. I'm sure everyone already has heard or knows about something for those people at the upper deck. You must be curious who they are and what their names are," said Young Master Qiuya.

As expected, most of the guests revealed excited looks once this announcement had been heard. They move their gaze from the stage to the stairs that lead to the upper deck. There is even a spotlight prepared by the staff of the ship, and it's most likely due to the participation of their owner in this entourage.

Young master Qiuya started introducing the people on the top five lists of top donors.

"Wow~ we have a tiebreaker for the top five. These seniors tied in fifth place after donating 100 million RMB to the charity. Let us welcome the guardians of our mainland and south city. An old general who still until now served our country protecting us from foreign invaders. He is also the old master of the Imperial Lu Clan from the mainland. Senior Lu Xingen. Supreme General Lu!"

The sound of applause was heard from the lower deck of the ship. Old General Lu, wearing his usual military uniform, appeared under the spotlight at the higher end of the stairs. His stature is as straight as a pole, looking at everyone below them with a stern expression on his scarred yet handsome face. Even though he is old, one could see the traces of how good-looking this old man is.

Old General Lu didn't say anything and just slightly narrowed his eyes with a stern warning. Those who used to serve in the military were affected and immediately saluted before this hero figure of their country.

Young master Qiuya continues to host the event. "Tying the fifth place with the Supreme General Lu is our era's most exalted scholar of all times. The tacticians who had protected the south cities with wits and brains alone. The leading leader of most scholars in our current era. Let us all welcome the old master of the Ancient Fu Clan, Senior Fu Renzen." Another round of applause was heard when the person mentioned had finally come out.

Another spotlight appeared behind the supreme general and a scholarly old man with long white hair and a white beard. He is wearing an ancient robe from the golden times and looks more like a cultivator, except that he doesn't possess any aura that differentiates a mortal from a cultivator. He stood beside the buff old supreme general and, for some reason, complimented him well.

These two are also longtime partners who worked together during wartime. Senior Fu acts as the brain of the team, while Senior Lu acts as his vanguard and protector. It can be said that their names have long been recorded and, in the future, will be considered a legend and talked about as a myth.

The two walk down the stairs together, each with a different demeanor from the other. If the old supreme general's aura is like a steady and heavy mountain that seems impenetrable, then the old supreme scholar's aura is like towering bamboo that can move with flexibility at all times. He is elegant and gives the aura of someone who is knowledgeable.

After the two reach the end of the stairs, one moves to the right and the other to the left, as if making a way and guarding the path for those who haven't come down yet. They also looked up and waited for the rest of their peers to come down after them.

Upon seeing this young master, Qiuya resumed his hosting and announced the name of the one considered a top four donor.

"Let's call on our top four donors. He donated 200 million RMB. You guys should have seen this person on television. He is the great confidant of our country's state leader. He is well-known for his prowess of ancient martial arts and gained accomplishments that wouldn't lose to our supreme general and supreme scholar. He is also a famous master of calligraphy and ink painting. Let us all welcome Master Ling Wen!"

Cultivator Ling Wen wore cultivator clothes, which are made of specially materialized materials, so under the effects of the spotlight, as if he were surrounded by a white glow, his aura was more elevated than that of Lu Renzen. Moreover, he also possessed the kind of aura of someone who had seen and experienced everything; compared to the other four old men, he is the oldest of them all, despite looking the youngest among them. Cultivators age slowly after all, and they can return to their peak age when they reach a certain cultivation level.

Cultivator Ling Wen, like the other two, didn't leave the stairs completely and stood at the side like faithful guardians, waiting for the others to go down, especially the star of their group.

Everyone was amazed by these seniors who had gathered tonight, and in such an unexpected turn, they decided to get involved with them by joining the charity party like other guests. They were exhilarated, as these were big shots they could only see or hear on television. Seeing them right now, they couldn't help but feel awed by their presence alone. They waited for the big person in third place to be announced and thought they wouldn't be surprised even if the state leader appeared before them now. Who would expect they would fulfill what they wish for?

Young master Qiuya finally introduced the third one. He was at first stunned and looked at the paper in his hand in disbelief. Even for him, as the young heir of the Tian Clan, he could hardly meet this person. Who would have thought that he had sneaked into the party to see his grandfather and even join the fun?

"Haha~ I am indeed lucky tonight. You guys wouldn't believe who is in third place. He donated $300 million. He is our beloved state Daddy. Our very own state leader, Senior Long Juedi!"

The announcement of the state leader's arrival for tonight's charity party can become a headline in any news report when it is spread. This is the biggest boss in their country and the ruler. Even children knew how he looked or what his name was, as he was the model figure that led the country to a better future. As soon as Long Juedi appeared, he smiled like he had always been on television.

As soon as he appeared, there wasn't only applause but also cheering that one wouldn't expect to happen. Those who serve the country all salute this old leader; a single nod from him gives all these countrymen the happiness of being a part of this country.

Long Juedi spoke, "Xiao Qiuya, you may continue. Your grandfather hasn't come out yet!"

"Yes, sir!" Young Master Qiuya grins after the State Daddy calls his name. It gave him a feeling of significance as someone of Long Juedi's structure knew about his name.

"The second-place top donator and our biggest donator of them all. Everyone might have some guesses in their hearts. Let's go ahead and finish up our business. The second-place top donator had donated 350 million to the charity. He is also a well-known figure and someone this young master is truly afraid of. Hahaha! Well, then you can already guess who he is, right? Let us welcome the old leader of the Tian Clan and this young master's grandfather, Tian Qiuji!" said Young Master Qiuya.

Snorts!

AHAHAHAHA~

As soon as the old man appeared on the spot light, Old Tian immediately looked at his grandson on the stage. Young Master Qiuya immediately hides himself from the assistant host beside him under his grandfather's glare. Only when the old man snorted at him did he once again have a smile on his face.

"Finally, let us welcome our finale. Our biggest donor gave away half a billion RMB. She is also the youngest and most successful among our big guys. The god-granddaughter of my grandfather as well as my sister in name. Let's all welcome the queen of tonight's charity party, Miss Yue Xuexia! Please give her a round of applause," Young Master Qiuya said.

Yue Xuexia finally walked towards the spotlight. As soon as her ethereal beauty was exposed under the light, regardless of whether she was a woman or a man, they all gasped in disbelief and amazement. She is such an extremely beautiful woman, as if everything about her is perfect without exception. A lot of men stared at her with lovestruck expressions, and even women were looking at her with adoration.

It is just that within the crowd there is one man who looked at her with incredulity, yearning, and amazement within his eyes. It was Zen Fanyu, staring at Yue Xuexia on the stairs with a dazed expression. It was as if he were dreaming at this very moment, and he could only see the figure of Yue Xuexia within his line of sight.

Zen Fanyu couldn't help but murmur her name. "Xuexue?"
