After figuring out the whole story, Gu Shi finally felt relieved.
Although Wendel was being chased, judging from his current condition and his father's actions, the situation should still be under their control.
As for Wendel's safety, Gu Shi was still relatively relieved.
Wendell was quite favored in the Brest household, and after the kind of attack he had suffered, his family would surely have taken appropriate measures.
Gu Shi just discovered that Wendel had a lot of accessories on him that he had never worn before. They seemed to be high-level alchemical props. The protective measures were quite complete, and even if he was attacked again, he could hold on until rescue arrived.
"I'm relieved to see that you're okay."
Gu Shi stood up and stretched, "Then I'll be leaving first."
"Don't forget to bring the book." Wendel still remembered the reason why he invited Gu Shi to the study just now. He picked up a book from the bookshelf next to him and handed it to him. If you want to perform a play, you have to do it in full.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot."
Gu Shi thought about it and simply took the book in his hand.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Wendell took the opportunity to ask, "Will you come to my birthday party in a few days?
I could find an excuse to turn it down, but since you came to see me today, it's better to come."
Gu Shi thought for a moment, "You guys don't plan to do it right at the birthday party, do you?"
"Of course not. After all, this is a banquet hosted by our family, and there will be many other guests. If we fight directly at the banquet, it will be a slap in the face of our Brest family."
Hearing Wendel say this, Gu Shi agreed to the invitation, "That's good, I will be there on time."
After all, it is the birthday of a long-time friend. Since there is no danger, Gu Shi does not plan to miss it. Although there may not be much opportunity to communicate, at least he can still say happy birthday.
"Okay, but I might not be able to entertain you then."
Wendel explained in advance, "When we sent out the invitations, we also sent them to the envoys from the Ativi Empire. If nothing unexpected happens, they will also be there. I will definitely be the one to deal with them then."
Gu Shi nodded, "I understand."
Gu Shi hadn't planned to say much to Wendel at the banquet. After all, things were quite sensitive around him during this period. Since he had the ability to solve it, Gu Shi didn't want to cause himself more trouble.
"Then I won't see you out. See you later."
Wendell sat on the sofa and waved to Gu Shi, then called a butler in and asked him to take Gu Shi to the door.
"goodbye."
After saying goodbye to Wendel, Gu Shi left with the servant.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Wendel's birthday party.
Because it was a formal birthday party, Gu Shi also specially prepared a more appropriate gift, which was a bottle of high-end healing potion. Its function and value were in line with the standards of interactions between ordinary aristocratic friends.
This was the first time that Gu Shi gave Wendel a birthday present. They used to treat each other to dinner. Gu Shi would treat Wendel on his birthday, and then he would treat Gu Shi back on his birthday. He didn't expect it to turn out like this this year.
Gu Shi arrived at Wendel's manor by carriage on time.
After handing the invitation and the wrapped gift to the waiter at the door, Gu Shi walked into the banquet hall.
The atmosphere here was no different from the banquet he had attended before. Gu Shi saw Wendel standing in the center of the banquet hall, dressed extremely gorgeously.
As the protagonist of today, Wendel, there are already a lot of people around me, and more people are constantly walking over there.
The same went for Gu Shi. He walked over and greeted Wendel normally. After exchanging a few words, he naturally left the encirclement and found an empty corner to stay.
He glanced again at Wendel, who was surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars, and who was constantly being talked to but still managed to smile and respond politely.
Gu Shi couldn't help but sigh that Wendel was indeed worthy of being the son of a noble family. He could deal with so many people at the same time and still answer without making any mistakes. If it were him, he would have collapsed long ago.
After standing in the corner for a while, Gu Shi heard a sudden commotion at the door, as if an important guest had arrived, and Wendel took the initiative to greet him.
Gu Shi looked up curiously, and saw a few people whose appearance and clothing were somewhat out of place walking in.
The leader was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. His skin was a very healthy dark brown, and his deep facial features and short red hair made him an outsider that could be recognized at a glance.
Gu Shi immediately knew the origins of these people. It seemed that they were the envoys from the Ativi Empire that Wendel had mentioned.
As soon as the envoys entered the room, they were noticed by many guests. After they greeted Wendel, other people immediately came over and started chatting with them.
Gu Shi glanced at them a few times and put these envoys aside. He took a glass of juice from the table next to him and drank it silently.
Alas, although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, the banquet had just begun and Gu Shi was so bored that he wanted to leave.
Gu Shi sipped the juice in his hand while staring at the night sky outside the window in silence, his thoughts gradually becoming empty.
Just when Gu Shi was completely immersed in his own world, a greeting suddenly came to his ears.
"Hello, are you Mr. Gu Shi?"
Gu Shi suddenly came back to his senses. He turned around and saw that the person standing in front of him was the red-haired man with exotic charm.
What happened? Why did people from the Ativi Empire suddenly come looking for him?
Gu Shi silently raised his inner guard, but his face showed no sign of it. He smiled, with a hint of doubt in his tone, "Hello, who are you?"
The red-haired man smiled brightly. "Before I could introduce myself, my name is Mahmoud. I'm from the Atiwi Empire and I'm visiting the capital of Igrit. I'm a member of the envoys."
Gu Shi nodded to show that he understood, and then asked, "Hello, Mr. Mahmoud, what can I do for you?"
