In front of the majestic gate of the sports center.
Wu Tian stood tall and straight, about to step into the venue of the grand event.
However, they were stopped by the security guards at the gate and told that they needed an invitation to enter.
Wu Tian was stunned for a moment. He recalled that Xia Xue had been invited to this grand event, but he never expected that an invitation letter was required behind the scenes.
When he and Xia Xue parted ways just now, neither of them had thought about this problem, and now they could only feel helpless and embarrassed.
Fortunately, there was some humanity in these rules, and the security guard pointed Wu Tian in the right direction.
If someone is already there to guide you, you can also enter the venue.
Faced with such an understanding security guard, even if Wu Tian was unhappy, he had no reason to blame him.
He could only call Xia Xue and ask her to come pick him up.
He had just taken out his phone when he heard a thunderous roar.
"This is outrageous! How could you treat our distinguished guests with such disrespect?"
A middle-aged man dressed in samurai attire appeared before them in an instant, his steps carrying the whistling of the wind.
This person is none other than Luo Lie, the renowned Fortune Master of the Dragon Capture Hall.
The security guard's face turned pale instantly. He hurriedly bowed and apologized, his voice filled with fear and self-reproach: "Envoy Luo, I am so sorry, I... I failed to recognize this distinguished guest."
Luo Lie snorted coldly, his tone as icy as ice: "What use are you if you don't recognize Mr. Wu Tian's true face? Throw him out."
Upon hearing this, the security guard felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his fear evident in his words.
The punishment imposed on the Dragon Capture Hall's Fortune Envoy is not what it sounds like; it could even cost him his life.
However, in his panic, he didn't even have the courage to beg for mercy, and let the security guards next to him lift him up.
"Wait!" Just then, Wu Tian spoke calmly, his voice cold but firm, "Envoy Luo, stop putting on this despicable act, lest you become a laughing stock. Besides, this security guard has done nothing wrong."
Upon hearing this, Luo Lie's lips curled into a playful smile, his voice becoming more intimate and teasing: "Out of consideration for Brother Wu Tian's compassion, I'll spare this blind fellow for now. I really didn't expect you to attend this grand event, otherwise I would have personally greeted you here, and this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened."
Wu Tian's lips curled up slightly, a faint yet cold smile quietly blooming within him. He knew perfectly well that Luo Lie's enthusiasm for him was merely a facade, and he was fully aware of Luo Lie's true intentions.
"Envoy Luo must have already guessed that I would attend this grand event, right? Besides, wouldn't it be a lot less fun if I didn't attend?"
Wu Tian's voice was calm as still water, yet it concealed a sharp edge. His deep eyes revealed disdain and contempt for Luo Lie and his accomplices.
Although Wu Tian's words clearly showed his disdain and contempt for Luo Lie, Luo Lie seemed oblivious, and his smile only widened.
Behind that smile, a surge of pride welled up like an undercurrent in the ocean, surging and sweeping over in an instant.
Luo Lie knew perfectly well that every step Wu Tian took into this grand event was part of a carefully laid plan.
As Wu Tiangang got out of the car, the Black and White Impermanence, who were monitoring him upstairs, had already quietly passed on the information.
In his view, Wu Tian's arrival was tantamount to a moth flying into a flame, courting its own destruction.
Amidst this complex and multifaceted encirclement, Luo Lie firmly believed that today would be the day Wu Tian met his end.
He will gather the crowd to avenge his fallen followers and to avenge the humiliation he has suffered.
With a flourish, he dismissed the security team and turned to Wu Tian with a smile, saying, "Brother Wu Tian's presence has certainly added a lot of fun to the event. On behalf of the organizers, I sincerely welcome you."
Wu Tian smiled calmly, not in a hurry to respond. His eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts and see through Luo Lie's hypocritical disguise.
After a moment, he spoke slowly, his words laced with amusement and disdain: "Envoy Luo, you flatter me. The Fortune Envoy of the Dragon Capturing Hall is exceptionally noble. Such courtesy to me is quite overwhelming for a nobody like me. I'm afraid it might be an insult to the Dragon Capturing Hall."
Luo Lie paused for a moment, then covered up his embarrassment with an even brighter smile: "It is my great honor to be able to associate with such an expert as Brother Wu Tian. How could I belittle him? Moreover, the White Tiger Hall Master has long admired you and specifically ordered me to invite you to meet him."
After he finished speaking, his smile became more meaningful, as if he were silently provoking Wu Tian, asking if he dared to go with him to see the White Tiger Hall Master.
Wu Tian's lips curled into a cold smile, and he thought to himself, "The fox has finally shown its tail."
He had originally intended to find out the whereabouts of Zhu Zheng, the leader of the White Tiger Hall, and a group of powerful figures. Now that they had taken the initiative to invite him to meet, it was truly a golden opportunity.
“In that case, I’ll trouble Envoy Luo to lead the way.” Wu Tian’s voice was gentle yet firm, but his heart was filled with gratitude for Luo Lie’s “kindness.”
Seeing this, Luo Lie's smugness was evident. He secretly laughed to himself, thinking that Wu Tian was already in a dead end.
He laughed heartily: "Please, Brother Wu Tian, let's go now."
After saying that, he stepped aside to let him pass, making a gesture of invitation, appearing both respectful and expectant.
Wu Tian nodded slightly, said nothing more, and then strode straight into the gate, each step appearing exceptionally calm and unhurried.
At this moment, the venue was bustling with activity, as if a tidal wave had gathered the most outstanding figures from all walks of life in Linhai City.
Even before the grand event officially began, warm and lively scenes were already unfolding among the guests, some laughing and chatting with old friends, others gathering in small groups to discuss the past and present, creating a vibrant and extraordinary atmosphere.
As Luo Lie and Wu Tian navigated through the bustling crowds, every gaze involuntarily turned to them with curiosity and speculation.
Luo Lie, the esteemed Destiny Envoy of the Dragon Capture Hall, whose name alone is enough to command the attention of the four major families and even political figures in Linhai City, is now personally leading a young man whose identity is undoubtedly even more enigmatic, sparking much speculation.
Facing the gazes that gathered around him, Wu Tian responded with only a faint, indifferent smile, as if all the commotion had nothing to do with him.
In his mind, today's grand event is not only a feast under the spotlight, but also a prelude to the changing times in Linhai City.
He, Wu Tian, is about to leave his mark on this land, making his name resound like thunder throughout every corner of Linhai City.
He vowed to make everyone remember that the flames of the Wu family had never been extinguished, and that those villains who had laid a hand on the Wu family would eventually face justice and pay the price.
Just as Wu Tian was lost in thought, a group of people suddenly blocked their way.
The leader, dressed in a blue robe embroidered with dragons, was about thirty years old and exuded an air of arrogance that commanded respect from all others.
He scrutinized Wu Tian with an almost condescending air, then asked Luo Lie in an unquestionable tone, "Envoy Luo, is this the legendary Wu Tian?"
Luo Lie quickly bowed and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the young master, this person is indeed Wu Tian."
"Oh? Wu Tian, you are the legendary master?" Upon hearing this, the young master's eyes flashed with interest. He slowly approached Wu Tian, his tone carrying a hint of challenge, "I have long heard of your great name. Today, I am fortunate enough to personally experience your skills."
