"What's wrong? Aren't you going over?"
Bai Jun looked at Bai Qionglan with confusion as she suddenly stopped.
He glanced at Gu Yan again, particularly interested when he saw the spider web-like cracks.
So that was Gu Yan? The young master of the Gu family, yet there wasn't a trace of cultivator's energy emanating from him.
But this clearly wasn't the power of an ordinary person either. How intriguing.
Bai Qionglan looked at the rescued Leng Ling'er, feeling relieved. Then she gave Bai Jun her most genuine smile in days: "I'm not going, you stinky brother."
Bai Jun was taken aback, awkwardly averting his gaze.
After a moment's thought, he reached out to ruffle Bai Qionglan's hair, saying: "If you don't like Xiao Lin, you don't have to meet him. I'll explain to Dad."
Hearing this, Bai Qionglan's eyes widened, and she hugged Bai Jun tightly: "Brother!! I love you the most!!"
"Hehe."
Bai Jun chuckled affectionately, then looked back at Gu Yan.
What an interesting man. It seems I'll need to have a chat with him later.
.....
.....
Bai Lian looked at Gu Yan with surprise, the murderous intent in her heart slowly dissipating. She said to the man beside her, "I never expected that a ordinary person without any cultivation could cause such a powerful impact."
"By the way, Murong Ci, that guy is the man I mentioned before who's as clueless about romance as you are."
Murong Ci didn't respond. He looked at Gu Yan, gradually loosening his grip. His cool voice carried a hint of shyness as he said, "I like him."
Bai Lian was stunned, whipping her head around to look at him in shock: "Huh??"
...
....
"Wow, I never thought the young master of the Gu family had such guts. But isn't his strength a bit too much?"
"Yeah, he could even crack the marble floor."
"President Shen, do you know when the young master Gu approached the Leng family?"
Around Shen Wan'er, a group of executives exchanged words, their faces pale with lingering fear.
They all looked to Shen Wan'er, hoping for answers.
But Shen Wan'er didn't respond to them. Instead, she stared blankly at Gu Yan, who was standing among the crowd, gently checking on Leng Ling'er.
Why... the Leng family...
Shen Wan'er's heart ached, intensely.
When she saw Leng Ling'er, she had already recognized her as the girl from the KTV before.
She never expected her to be the second young miss of the Leng family.
Combining this with what Gu Yan had said about getting married when he completely cut ties with her...
So the person Gu Yan liked was Leng Ling'er? That young girl??
Shen Wan'er felt a sense of defeat. The person Gu Yan liked... was Leng Ling'er??
No, wait!
Suddenly, Shen Wan'er's pupils constricted, and her hand holding the champagne glass began to shake.
No, no, no!!
Shen Wan'er seemed to have realized something. Back at the KTV, Leng Ling'er had called Gu Yan "brother-in-law"!!
Brother-in-law! Leng Ling'er's sister?!
"Leng... Leng Qingqiu?"
Shen Wan'er felt like her breath was about to stop. She clenched her fists tightly.
Her eyes fixed on Gu Yan. Leng Qingqiu? Leng Qingqiu is his marriage partner?
No... impossible, I don't believe it, I won't believe it!
Leng Qingqiu has already become like that! How could he like her!
How could he! It's impossible! It must be impossible!
If Gu Yan marries her, then what... what was the point of me staying single all these years?
Shen Wan'er's face turned pale. She couldn't accept this reality.
At this moment.
"Wan'er? Are you alright?"
Xiao Lin noticed something was wrong with Shen Wan'er. He stepped forward to support her as she was unsteady on her feet.
"I'm... I'm fine."
Shen Wan'er felt Xiao Lin's concern and managed a smile.
No, no, I must find a business partner tonight. That's why I'm here.
Thinking this, she took a deep breath and composed herself once more.
......
.....
In another corner.
Mei Xue lowered her head, looking uneasy.
Because......
She could sense the unusual emotions constantly surging from her master beside her.
This is terrible... Although she knew Gu Yan had hidden his strength, she didn't expect him to reveal it at the banquet.
Yet still, she couldn't sense any cultivator's energy from him. Why was that?
Of course, the main concern was.....
She glanced secretly at Leng Qingqiu beside her.
Was the master... starting to suspect Gu Yan? Otherwise, why would her emotions be so terrifying?
As for Leng Qingqiu.
Her whole body was trembling, her teeth clenched tightly, her fingernails digging into her palms.
To prevent...........
Herself from laughing out loud.
How dare he! How dare he say something like the Leng family is under his protection! Isn't that basically telling everyone that the Leng family and the Gu family have an extraordinary relationship?!
That infuriating man! This will ruin many of my covert plans!!
Speaking of which, why did he get so angry? Was it because that Xie Zhilan bullied Ling'er??
Or perhaps....
Leng Qingqiu felt something indescribable in her heart. Was it because they mentioned me? Is that why he got so angry?
It's so confusing. I really want to go talk to Gu Yan... and then scold him for being so flamboyant.
He's offended so many people. Even the Gu family will face a lot of trouble because of this.
What a willful guy!
Leng Qingqiu's mind was in turmoil.
"Um... Master, perhaps Gu Yan learned a trick or two from the strong cultivator by his side?"
Seeing her master seemed to be suppressing something, Mei Xue thought she wanted to kill Gu Yan.
So she quickly tried to cover for him.
A trick or two?
Leng Qingqiu was taken aback. Oh right, Gu Yan is supposed to be an ordinary person, isn't he?
How could he have such power?
What a jerk, keeping everything from me!
Leng Qingqiu was silent for a moment, then said: "Mm, investigate it."
Hearing this, Mei Xue felt relieved.
"Yes!"
Gu Yan, I just saved your life this time.
Mei Xue thought to herself.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints.
