A fleet of extended luxury cars appeared outside the Aryan Grand Theatre. A bright red carpet stretched out, and internationally renowned artists walked and stopped, with flashes of light constantly appearing on both sides.

"Look over there!"

"Shen Yun!"

"And Bai Wanqiu too!"

"It's Sun Youlin!"

"My God, that's... Fusheng?!"

"It's just life!"

"Hurry over there!"

Many female celebrities who were enjoying the flashing lights were dumbfounded. They were being filmed perfectly fine, so why did they just run away like that?!

I want to see which seductive vixen dares to steal my thunder!

The female celebrities were instantly filled with jealousy and followed suit, lifting their long skirts as they walked back. But soon, their expressions changed in unison, and they involuntarily stepped aside.

What a powerful aura!

These seem to be the three gold medalists in the popular arts category at the World Arts Awards, right?

That looks like Shen Yun; she sings really well!

And Bai Wanqiu, what a lucky woman, she actually managed to borrow the Queen of the Dian Kingdom's dress!

That man, isn't that Sun Youlin? What a pity, such a devoted man, yet he chose an ordinary woman. That woman is really lucky!

Who is that?

He looks familiar... Wait... isn't he Fusheng?!

It's no wonder these female celebrities were unsure, mainly because they had a somewhat vague understanding of the distinctive features of East Asian faces.

Seeing the photographers around them constantly raising their cameras, their lenses firmly fixed on Lin Rui and the others, the female celebrities who were originally filled with jealousy all fell silent.

They are quite famous, even ranking among the third tier internationally, but compared to Fusheng, they are worlds apart.

The principle that it is important for a person to have self-awareness is something one may not say, but one still acknowledges in their heart.

Moreover, this year's Gallic Music Festival is destined to have only one protagonist, and that is life itself!

On what grounds?

The Floating Life Worldly Arts Association offers fifteen gold coins a day!

Ping Fusheng is the recipient of the Best Contribution Award at this year's World Arts Festival!

With an astonishing number of works nominated for various awards, Fu Sheng has achieved remarkable success!

This is practically a bug!

Putting aside these third-tier international artists, even the top international artists present frequently glanced at Fu Sheng. Sometimes, when their eyes met, these top international artists would smile and nod in a friendly manner.

Unlike those second- or third-tier international celebrities, these people knew more or less about something that had not yet been made public.

Sequence number twelve, confirmed, from Shenzhou.

As for who in Shenzhou is qualified to be Sequence Twelve, there is only one answer.

—Life is fleeting!

"I'm so nervous."

After walking through the 400-meter-long red zone, Shen Yun pressed her chest slightly as she entered the venue.

Although Bai Wanqiu maintained a calm demeanor throughout, her actual situation was not much better than Shen Yun's.

"You guys have all been on the World Arts Festival stage before, and you weren't flustered in front of so many audience members. Now you've become timid?"

Sun Youlin made a joke, which immediately earned him two big eye rolls from Shen Yun and Bai Wanqiu.

Why are they all staring at us?

Once inside, Shen Yun noticed that the artists present were glancing at them from time to time.

Bai Wanqiu glanced at Lin Rui thoughtfully and said in a low voice, "Don't you even think about who we're standing with?"

That's true.

Shen Yun looked enlightened, then glanced at Lin Rui.

In fact, everyone's seating arrangement was predetermined. Bai Wanqiu, Shen Yun, and Sun Youlin were arranged to sit in the back row, while Lin Rui was arranged to sit in the second row!

Those sitting in the front row are either top global financial giants or veterans who have long since faded from the entertainment industry. All of them have stood on the stage of music festivals and won one honor after another!

From the second row onwards, you'll find artists who are currently active in the entertainment industry, and most of them have had their works nominated.

Why are you sitting here?

Sensing someone sit down next to him, Lin Rui turned his head without thinking and saw it was Charles.

Charles, on the other hand, seemed unsurprised, as if he had expected him to sit side by side with Lin Rui: "Is it strange? It would be strange if I didn't sit here, wouldn't it?"

Charles curled his lip in annoyance: "At least at previous music festivals, I always had..."

As he spoke, Charles started rolling his eyes.

Fuck!

I almost forgot that this guy is a complete madman. Compared to his nominated works at this year's music festival, my past achievements don't seem so impressive.

Forget it, I'm not going to talk to this pervert about this!

Thinking of this, Charles looked at Lin Rui suspiciously: "Where's your cat?"

"cat?"

Lin Rui was taken aback. He realized he couldn't quite understand Charles's train of thought: "Why would I carry a cat around with me all the time? If you were in my shoes, would you...?"

This time, Lin Rui couldn't continue speaking because he noticed that a furry little head was peeking out from Charles's cuff. It was looking around like a curious child, and when it seemed to notice Lin Rui staring at it with wide eyes, it immediately timidly pulled its head back.

Good heavens!

I underestimated you!

You really do carry your cat with you!

"Isn't it beautiful? It was a gift from Prince Xuefei, and its bloodline is absolutely pure."

Charles was very satisfied with Lin Rui's reaction. In his opinion, Lin Rui's surprise at this moment was entirely due to his amazement at the noble bloodline of this cat, which was a royal special that money could not buy!

Seeing Charles's smug expression, Lin Rui shrugged noncommittally, and the next second, as if by magic, he casually grabbed a grape and put it in his mouth.

At first, Charles didn't pay much attention, but as time went on, he also felt that something was wrong.

Where did he get so many grapes?!

Charles glanced at Lin Rui's pocket, thinking, "Can this place really hold so many grapes?"

Just as Charles was in shock, suddenly, on the wide stage, a huge screen began to play the award ceremony footage from previous music festivals. At the same time, a man and a woman dressed in formal attire walked onto the stage, waving to the audience as they went.

At this moment, Charles suddenly muttered, "Sequence Eight, she's been the host of the music festival for the past few years, but the man by her side has changed every year."

After a pause, Charles lowered his voice and said, "You'd better watch out in the future. Don't be fooled by her angelic appearance; this place is dirtier than the devil."

After saying that, Charles pointed to his chest.

Lin Rui glanced at Charles, then at the female host on stage, the one Charles referred to as Sequence Eight, glancing at her unfathomable cleavage, and nodded: "It is quite dirty."
