The press conference was very lively, whether it was really lively or fake, in short, everyone was very enthusiastic and happy, but Xu Xingkong, who was watching coldly, could see a lot of truths that were not so good.

For example, when the famous director is talking and laughing, he will sweep his greedy eyes to He Yan from time to time, and occasionally show a trace of disdain and impatience after the reporter asks questions. There is also a smiling male protagonist, his eyes are full of irritability and depression, I don't know what annoyance has happened to this one recently...

Behind every glamorous character, there seems to be a dark and dirty side, this is the entertainment industry?

Xu Xingkong has nothing to comment on this except pouting, if it weren't for He Yan's safety, Xu Xingkong would never have participated in this kind of activity, let alone participate in a dinner for a while.

In fact, this is also Xu Xingkong's own hardship, originally the Bai family and the people of the Broken Knife Society were willing to take on the responsibility of guarding, after all, this is their territory, they don't want to lose face by accident, and they don't want to get in touch with Yushan Yuzhai and Xu Xingkong because of this, but Xu Xingkong is even more reluctant to socialize with these two families, so Xu Xingkong has to attend these public events in person as He Yan's bodyguard.

The press conference went smoothly, and there were no accidents, the reporters dispersed with a thick red envelope and smiled, and the relieved staff also began to clean up the venue, and today's protagonists also left the venue one after another, and the assistant director enthusiastically negotiated with each of the actors who arrived one by one to arrange the next dinner.

Xu Xingkong originally thought that the people who participated in the dinner were only people from the local theater chain and the distributor, and at most there might be some relevant officials, who knew that when they arrived at the dinner, they knew that this dinner was actually a buffet in the form of a large scale, and not only the above people participated, but also many young second generations.

Looking at the heroes and heroines who were surrounded by a group of brightly dressed and swaggering young people, Xu Xingkong sincerely felt that no matter what era the opera industry is, its essence has not changed at all, and the so-called performing artists may be just gold dust that these actors have smeared on their faces.

In the face of capital and power, a drama is always a drama.

Xu Xingkong somewhat understood how He Yan's character was formed, and also understood why He Yan chose to practice instead of hiding under the wings of Yushan Yuzhai to survive, because the more oppressed people are, the more they want to resist.

During this period, He Yan did encounter some small troubles, but there was no need for Xu Xingkong to come forward, the eight-faced and delicate Sister Liu successfully blocked the bad intentions of two young people and a middle-aged man with fat heads and big ears against He Yan, after all, this is a public place, everyone still has to maintain a basic face, even if there are any dirty thoughts in their hearts, they can't help but pay attention to their appearance.

In fact, most of the people who come to this kind of party know that if you want to take advantage of this kind of play, it is very low-level, and you really have to have ideas about these plays, and you can't come directly here, but there are other channels, as for the annoyance and anger after being rejected, it depends on whether you can fight the support behind the play.

If you have the financial resources or power to smash the umbrella of the play, then you can do whatever you want, on the other hand, if you make a stiff fight in public, you will only lose face, and those brainless scenes will only appear in the garbage.

After walking around the venue with a stiff face and a wine glass, He Yan felt that her face might cramp if she continued to smile like this, and at the same time, her calves were cramping, don't look at this venue is not very big, but she can't bear to take two steps and stop and pile up a smile to talk to people she knows or doesn't know.

As for who she met and what she said, He Yan has completely forgotten it, because those are meaningless scenes and words, maybe He Yan used to think hard about what was meant in someone's words and whose information could be used, but today, He Yan found that she was no longer interested in these, she just wanted to end these meaningless entertainments as soon as possible, and end the whole life that made her feel hypocritical and disgusting.

He Yan's eyes looked for Xu Xingkong's figure from time to time, Xu Xingkong, who had no sense of existence in the eyes of others, spent most of his time wandering in front of the long table where food was placed, He Yan didn't know if Xu Xingkong had used spells, in this lively and noisy venue, he was like a lonely ghost who didn't exist.

But every time He Yan found that lonely figure, He Yan would instantly play, she seemed to be able to see a contemptuous chuckle on his face, as if a god from above was coldly watching the feast held by the ants, this feeling made He Yan unable to integrate into this lively scene at all.

Finally, He Yan approached Xu Xingkong quietly, using Sister Liu's cover, He Yan sighed heavily, looked at Xu Xingkong carefully, and said in a low voice:

"Xu Chang... Xingkong, don't you think it's boring?"

Xu Xingkong was stunned, then shook his head with a smile:

"No, how can it be boring, it's funny. ”

"Interesting, doesn't it feel hypocritical?"

"Yes, there is no reason not to be hypocritical on this occasion, the communication between people is originally a constant temptation and collision, there is no reason for everyone to interact with a frank attitude, because honest people have been buried by them, hehe..."

He Yan looked at Xu Xingkong in surprise, and nodded for a while before nodding:

"You're right, people who hate these hypocrisies shouldn't be here at all, so I'm being hypocritical too. ”

"Well, it's good to be able to recognize yourself, and only when you recognize yourself can you understand how to change. ”

"I'm a little tired. ”

Xu Xingkong looked at He Yan, who was a little lonely, and smiled:

"I was told just now that the number of battles that broke out in the Demon Capital tonight is surprisingly small, I think you should hurry up and eat something, maybe we won't have time for supper for a while. ”

He Yan's eyes widened suddenly when she heard this, and she looked at Xu Xingkong in surprise:

"Xu, Xingkong, you mean... We might have a fight in a moment?"

"I don't know, if something goes wrong, it's a demon, it doesn't make sense that they are a ceasefire because of our arrival, so, something must happen, the Bai family and the people of the Broken Knife Society have already begun to prepare for contingencies. ”

He Yan said in disbelief:

"This, they actually want to do it in Shanghai, just to kill me?"

Xu Xingkong shook his head:

"It's hard to say, whether this is coming at us or not, but it's definitely right to be prepared, I see that you haven't eaten much, so you should hurry up and replenish your strength, so that you don't even have the strength to walk for a while. ”

He Yan nodded with a wry smile, and was about to turn around to look for food that suited her taste on the dining table, when suddenly a figure appeared between the two out of the corner of her eye.

"Elder Xu, please stay here with Miss He as much as possible later, and you don't have to worry about what happens outside. ”

He Yan naturally turned his head to look at the passer, this middle-aged man He Yan really knew, just now it seems that he had touched a cup with this tycoon in Shanghai, who knew that this rich man who is famous on the world's wealth list is also a figure in the cultivation circle, but after a moment of surprise, He Yan has a feeling that he is like this, if there is a powerful sect standing behind this tycoon, it is easy to explain how he can make a huge family business from scratch in just twenty years.

After the rich man finished talking to Xu Xingkong, he turned his head and smiled at He Yan, who was surprised:

"Miss He, don't worry, the situation is all under our control, and the title of Demon Capital is not called in vain. ”

After that, this middle-aged man with a somewhat fat figure turned around and left, He Yan's head was a little unable to turn, what does this have to do with the title of the magic capital?

"The Demon Capital is not the meaning of the Demon Hunting Capital, but the real Demon Domain of Life and Death, where the secret war between the two clans is the most intense, and this place can't be played with strength alone. ”

Xu Xingkong explained in a low voice, and He Yan nodded suddenly:

"Is there a war between the two clans?"

"Yes, the two races have always been in a relationship of love and killing, war is not only a negative effect, sometimes it is also a key factor in activating a race's self-renewal ability, compared with the frontal battlefield, the dark war in the demon capital is more a test of wisdom and experience, so many outstanding disciples of the sect will come here to hone their skills, and the Broken Knife Society and the Bai family, who are responsible for receiving and managing these outstanding disciples, have a transcendent status and human face in the two clans, and if you want to do things in the demon capital, you must have the consciousness of being against most of China. ”

He Yan nodded suddenly:

"No wonder. ”

Xu Xingkong felt that He Yan seemed to have something in his eyes, and asked curiously:

"What's the wonder?"

"No wonder you're so polite to them, I don't think you're so kind to those people in Pengcheng, aren't you afraid of offending them?"

Xu Xingkong pouted:

"I'm not afraid of offending them, but maybe you will come to the Demon Capital in the future to experience, and it doesn't matter if other people's accounts are on you at that time?"

He Yan pursed her lips and smiled, making a scared look and said:

"Of course not, I just think you... Forget it, I'm thinking about it, and we'll stay here honestly for a while?"

Xu Xingkong looked at He Yan suspiciously, nodded and said:

"Whatever the guests do, I'm sure they won't let us have a buffet here for one night, and to be honest, the food might go bad tomorrow morning. ”

He Yan tugged at the corners of her mouth, this joke is so cold.

Immediately, He Yan noticed that something was wrong, she stood here for a long time, muttering to Xu Xingkong, but no one came to find trouble for herself, could it be...

He Yan glanced around curiously, but unfortunately he didn't find anything wrong with the environment, but it was clear that someone's eyes swept over him, but he didn't seem to see it at all, as if there was an invisible enchantment around him, Xu Xingkong seemed to understand what He Yan was thinking, and explained with a smile:

"It's just a little bit of an impact on everyone's thinking, so they ignore you, there's no enchantment, okay, eat slowly, no one will bother you." ”

Xu Xingkong said with a smile, but his gaze had shifted from He Yan's face to the direction of the window, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became meaningful.
