Everyone immediately looked towards the source of the sound and found that several people had walked into the dressing room. Although they didn't know who said that, everyone's attention was attracted by the two people standing in the front.

One of the middle-aged women was very familiar and respected by all of these artists, and she was the artistic director of this performance event; the other was an exceptionally young and beautiful woman with bright short blue hair and delicate yet elegant makeup. Although she had a smile on her lips, there was no trace of cheerfulness in her gray-blue eyes. When her gaze fell on Sister Su, the latter shuddered subconsciously.

What an overwhelming aura...Who is this young woman?

Sister Su didn't know this strange woman, but she instinctively felt that she was not easy to deal with. Sister Su and the art director had some friendship, so she immediately looked at her for help, but the art director avoided Sister Su's gaze and just smiled and said to the people around him.

"Miss Qing is indeed a professional. You are well-informed. You recognize most of the card pools exhibited here."

"No." The woman shook her head and smiled faintly, "I'm usually very busy, and I don't have a photographic memory. How can I have the time to remember those unknown small card pools? All I can remember are some of the best in the card pools." As she spoke, she raised her chin in the direction of Dai Shu.

"What the little sister said is right. This Xiao Ke snack card pool is not a wild card pool. It is very famous in Chikongzhou. I think the reason why you haven't heard of it is largely because it is too young. The card user of this card pool is an inexperienced newcomer. It has only been half a year since he took over and managed this card pool."

Not only was the art director very surprised, but everyone else in the dressing room also looked at each other in bewilderment, and even whispered to each other - it's only been in business for half a year? Even the most laymen among laymen know what this time means. Which of the top card pools on the Azure Star has not been in business for decades to gain its current fame and status? When they were just in business for half a year, who knew of their existence? Not to mention being famous all over the world, they probably didn't even have a name in this continent at that time.

"Director Qiao, do you know this card pool now?" The woman smiled and glanced at the people around her.

Director Qiao obviously respected this "Miss Qing" very much, and was even a little wary and flattering, and immediately spoke respectfully.

"Of course I know, Miss Qing."

"It's a pity that many people still don't know..." The woman seemed to be talking to herself in a low voice, but her eyes turned to Sister Su and then looked around the room.

Director Qiao immediately understood. She called over someone next to her and whispered something in his ear. After the other person nodded and left, Director Qiao turned to the other people in the dressing room and said with a smile on her face.

"Everyone has worked hard. I know that you will inevitably be nervous and impatient before going on stage. It is normal to have some quarrels, but let's not blame the person but the matter. Let's let some unpleasantness go. I will treat you all to some cold drinks later. Everyone, relax and perform well on stage later, so that the audience can see your best!"

When the director spoke, everyone in the room responded and spoke up immediately.

"Thank you, Director."

"Director Qiao is so thoughtful~"

"Thank you Director Qiao!"

Director Qiao said, "Please have some cold drinks." Even a fool could guess which card pool the cold drinks would come from. So the voices of agreement in her ears sounded like slaps in the face to Sister Su. She blushed, and felt that every look that fell on her was like a fiery whip. She really wished there was a crack in the ground that she could crawl into.

"Miss Qing" nodded with satisfaction. She looked at Sister Su, then at the Dai sisters, and said meaningfully: "No matter how famous the card pool is, it all started from a small card pool that no one knew about. It's the same with you artists - although you are not famous yet and still have to look at people's faces everywhere, and this situation may even continue for a long time, but this is just the necessary path for every successful artist. They are no exception, and so are you. Stay calm, don't forget your original intention, and you will get better and better."

Knowing that the other party was giving them some advice, Dai Jing and Dai Shu nodded gratefully. Director Qiao and this "Miss Qing" did not stay in the dressing room for too long and soon left with their entourage.

After these people left, the discussion in the room suddenly exploded, and the Dai sisters immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. Even Sister Ya pulled them aside to ask in disbelief.

"When did you two get to know Miss Qing Buyu? Haven't you ever been to Qingyuzhou before?"

"Qing Buyu?" The two sisters looked at each other, and Ada was also confused. "Are you talking about the pretty girl who spoke for Xiao Kekachi just now? Who is she?"

"The number one super consortium in Qingyuzhou is called Qingyu Group, and the biggest sponsor of this Seven Continents Card Pool Exhibition is also Qingyu Group. In other words, the investor who invited you to perform this time is Qingyu Group! And that Miss Qing Buyu, she is the second director of Qingyu Group, and some people also call her the 'Second in Command' or 'Second Miss'." Sister Ya looked at the Dai sisters with emotion, "She obviously favored and promoted you two just now, I thought you knew each other before... Haha, you two might as well come to Qingyuzhou to develop. Apart from anything else, just what she said just now is enough to make sure that you two will not be despised and looked down upon in Qingyuzhou."

Is this Miss Qing so powerful?

Dai Jing and Dai Shu looked at each other in surprise, while Sister Su on the side was stunned as if struck by lightning.

No wonder she felt vaguely familiar just now, it turned out that person was the second daughter of Qingyu Group? ! But wasn't she studying abroad on Aquarius before? Did she just come back recently?

Thinking about how she had been busy with Sara's team on tours for the past few months, and how she didn't even recognize the second daughter of the largest local consortium, Sister Su felt cold sweats on her back. Fortunately, she didn't retort to the other party just now, otherwise, her and Sara's careers would definitely end on this day...

***

Director Qiao led Qing Buyu and his group through the backstage and stopped in front of a hidden staircase behind the stage.

This is Qing Buyu's destination. The little incident in the dressing room just now was just because Qing Buyu overheard the dispute inside when he passed by, so he decided to go in on a whim.

"Thank you, Director Qiao." Qing Buyu said to the people in front of him with a smile, "You don't have to go up, I can go there by myself."

Director Qiao nodded, and the people following Qing Buyu stopped. Only a pretty girl continued to follow Qing Buyu and went upstairs with her.

As they were climbing the dim and narrow stairs, the girl suddenly said.

"Second sister, I don't quite understand what happened just now."

Qing Buyu raised his eyelids slightly: "Hmm?"

"I know you've been in contact with that card user named Ke Jin recently, but is his card pool really that good? Is it worth it for you to protect him so much? Although it's amazing that he became famous in Chikongzhou in just half a year, it's just a snack card pool at best! In terms of potential, this resource-based card pool doesn't have as good a development prospect as a functional card pool."

Qing Buyu smiled softly: "It's not his card pool that I'm interested in, it's just him as a person."

The girl's face was more suspicious. "Him? He has only been awakened as a card user for half a year, right? I have also read his information, and I think that apart from his good luck, there is nothing noteworthy about him in terms of managing the card pool."

Qing Buyu almost laughed out loud: "We in Qingyu Group don't lack management talents. If it's just for the management of the card pool, why would I go to Chikongzhou to find someone?"

The girl became more confused: "Then what do you value about him?"

"I can't tell you this for now." Qing Buyu smiled and said meaningfully, "You are still too young now. When the day comes when you can really take over the family business, you will understand. Now you just need to know that our Qingyu Group cannot always live on the Blue Star. If we want to expand outward, it is far from enough to have money and connections. We lack a lot of resources, and some people are the 'scarce resources' that we can only encounter but not seek."

The curious girl asked several more times, but Qing Buyu didn't say anything more, just smiled and said nothing.

It wasn't that she was keeping it a secret, but she had to keep the fact that Ke Jin might be the "chosen one" strictly confidential. And Qing Buyu believed that since the elders of her family could infer this conclusion based on the intelligence they had received, some forces with deep backgrounds would probably slowly come up with similar associations in the near future. By then, it would not be easy for them to approach Ke Jin in this natural and peaceful way.

As they were talking, the two of them had already stepped onto the last step of the stairs. In front of them was an equally narrow and dim corridor, leading to a black wooden door at the end.

"Second sister, go find him. I'll wait for you here." The girl stopped and said with a smile, "I don't want to be a light bulb. You two can talk slowly. There's no need to rush~!"

Qing Buyu rubbed his forehead, ignoring the teasing smile on the face of this mischievous little cousin. After giving her a few words of advice, he walked straight forward until he reached the wooden door.

***

The door was ajar. Qing Buyu knocked gently a few times, and a slightly tired voice came from inside.

"Ah Qing? Come in."

Qing Buyu pushed the door open and walked in. Unlike the simple and dim corridor outside, the room inside was a brightly lit small room with few furnitures. It looked like an ordinary office, simply and comfortably decorated. A tough and handsome man was sitting at a desk by the window, staring at a card in front of him with a frown on his face.

"Do you have any clues?" Qing Buyu was obviously very familiar with the other party. He didn't even bother to say hello. He walked directly to the table and looked at the card with him.

This was a pure black card, completely black without any other patterns or designs. It looked very much like a waste card, but the man stared at it with great concentration, as if he was reluctant to even blink.

"I don't know if this counts as a clue." The man said slowly, his eyes never leaving the card, "But I feel like it sensed something. That person might be nearby. Unfortunately, I don't know her exact location."

"Maybe it was your misjudgment?"

"Impossible." The man said firmly, "In the past, when 'she' appeared nearby, I could sense it through this card, but since the 'Demon King' disappeared, 'she' has not appeared again. This card has been silent for many years. It was not until last month that I sensed 'its' heartbeat again. 'She'... should be back."

"Will you report this matter to the Marshal?" Qing asked.

The man's throat rolled a few times, and after a moment he uttered a word with difficulty.

"I will."

Qing Buyu raised her eyebrows in surprise. She and the other party were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. Although they had not seen each other for many years because the other party was admitted to the military academy and then went out to serve, Qing Buyu believed that she still knew the other party very well.

"I thought you always regarded her as your savior." Qing Buyu said slowly, "Although she may be of the same kind as the Demon King, the Demon King has fallen, right? You reported her movements to the Marshal. Are you afraid that she will become the second Demon King?"

The man was silent for a long time, then suddenly spoke.

"The 'Devil' is not dead, he is still alive." He said, "Last month they detected a life signal fluctuation from the depths of the 13th Galaxy, which finally confirmed the fact that we have been reluctant to believe all along - the 'Devil' is not dead, he is just temporarily hiding in the black hole area of ​​the 13th Galaxy to recuperate. Sooner or later... he will come back."
