After bidding farewell to her fans, Ruan Qi passed through the security checkpoint with He Ma and the others.
Shen Wenqian had to stay stationed in the Imperial Capital this time and wouldn't be coming along. Accompanying her, besides Mo Lan, He Ma, and Xi Xi, was a new member of the Xi Family's Shadow Guard Unit assigned by Xi Jiu. His name was Xi Bei.
Ruan Qi led Xi Bei and the group of four through the security checkpoint and headed straight to the VIP lounge.
In the lounge, most of the "Blade Edge" film crew had already arrived. They were sitting together, talking in low voices. When they saw the young girl walk in, everyone turned toward her in unison.
"Well, look who it is! Our Golden Melody Awards Best Female Singer is here!" Director Jian Guoqiang teased, smiling.
The rest of the crew looked at Ruan Qi with smiles too, their eyes reflecting varying degrees of admiration, respect, or thinly veiled jealousy.
