When Gu Liyan left Qingge Hall, it was already dawn. The world brightened up at the moment of sunrise. Blue sky, white clouds, sunshine, and a gentle breeze—everything was so beautiful.
Looking up at the sky, Gu Liyan murmured to himself, "Why would there be a chosen one? The sky is nothing but an unattainable illusion."
Perhaps in Gu Liyan's eyes, the heavens are not so terrible, or perhaps no one is worthy of the chosen one!
Are you leaving?
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback, turned her head to look at the person who had just arrived, and it turned out to be Wu Wenfeng, the purple-clad youth she had met before. "I remember you are... Wu Wenfeng?"
"That's right! I never expected you to remember my name! It's rare. I thought someone like you would only remember people who are exceptionally beautiful or extraordinary, or great heroes with unparalleled achievements..."
As he spoke, Wu Wenfeng began to explain incessantly:
"Me? I came all this way back just for this so-called Chosen One. You know I'm a carefree person and don't like fighting, so I'm sure I'll miss out on this Chosen One title... But those old men in my family insist that I come back and compete for it. I'm telling you, young man, you're not going to compete with me, are you?"
Gu Liyan blinked before replying, "Probably not, I'm not interested in that."
"That's great! You'll be my friend from now on! By the way, I still don't know your name!" Wu Wenfeng said excitedly.
"My name is Gu Liyan, and I am not a virgin!" Although Gu Liyan has a good temper, it doesn't mean he allows others to label him that way.
“Gu Liyan! I think I’ve heard that name before, but it’s amazing that there are still people with the surname Gu these days! And the name is Liyan…” Wu Wenfeng stroked his chin as he remembered, then suddenly his face froze, and he turned around, pointing at Gu Liyan and exclaiming, “Holy crap! I remember now, aren’t you that poor wretch who was handpicked by the Chess Alliance?!”
"If we're talking about the martial arts competition with the literary master half a month ago, I think we're probably talking about me!" Gu Liyan said, shrugging.
"Do not help, do not harm..." Wu Wenfeng glanced at the seemingly harmless, fair-skinned and beautiful Gu Liyan, and his lips twitched.
He then cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I was just sleepwalking and don't know you well, brother. Farewell!"
With that, Wu Wenfeng turned around and tried to escape.
Gu Liyan reached out and grabbed the back of his collar, a smirk playing on her lips. "You've blocked my way twice, you should at least have something to say to me!"
"Huh? Brother, I, I'm a respectable person!" Wu Wenfeng said, clutching his chest in a panic.
"What nonsense are you thinking? I'm just hungry and want you to treat me to a meal!" Gu Liyan raised an eyebrow and pointed to the plaque in front of him that read "Tianxiang Pavilion". "You should be a member of the Wu family, so this meal shouldn't cost you anything, right?"
Seeing Gu Liyan grinning like a fox, Wu Wenfeng couldn't help but twitch his lips. "If someone finds out I'm with you, I..."
Gu Liyan waved his hand. "Don't worry, you just owe me, you're not helping me! You'll be fine as long as you find a suitable reason to get out of that situation!"
With that, Gu Liyan lifted her leg and walked towards Tianxiang Pavilion.
Wu Wenfeng followed with a helpless expression, muttering to himself, "If only it were really like that!"
Stepping into Tianxiang Pavilion, a place renowned for its fine wines and beautiful women, a veritable feast for the senses, one is immediately enveloped in the aromas of wine, food, and a subtle, delicate fragrance of women...
However, one thing was unusual: the moment Gu Liyan walked in, everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
"That person isn't..."
"Shh, do you want to die?!"
Everyone avoided Gu Liyan's path, keeping a safe distance.
"Wow, looking at you this way, you really are a beast!" Wu Wenfeng said inappropriately.
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, her beauty ethereal. "I never imagined I could be so charming!"
"This isn't a matter of charm..." Wu Wenfeng couldn't help but smile wryly. He finally understood that Gu Liyan was no pushover either!
Gu Liyan chose a seat by the window, and Wu Wenfeng then beckoned to the waiter, "Come and order!"
The waiter, Xiaoqiang, shuddered. He had heard everything from the boss about the martial arts competition that day. The handsome young man in white had been handpicked by the Chess Alliance. If he came here, he had to be driven out immediately!
But……
How can we kick them out?
If I'm not mistaken, the purple-clad youth beside him must be from the Wu family!
Seeing that everyone around him was staring at him, Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and walked over. "Yes, I'm sorry, sir, we're closed!"
"Huh?" Wu Wenfeng glanced at the crowd drinking in the room and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you said it's closed?"
"This, this..." Xiaoqiang lowered his head and dared not speak.
Just then, a charming woman descended from the attic and spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice:
"Oh my, isn't this the third young master of the Wu family, Young Master Zifeng? Look, look, there are quite a few handsome young men here!"
Wu Wenfeng (Zifeng) pouted, "Aunt Huaqin, now that you know it's me, are you still going to kick me out?"
Huaqin chuckled, "How could that be? I'm running a business, how could I possibly kick out my customers?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes at Gu Liyan and said, "But this handsome young man is different."
Hua Qin's gaze was indifferent and cold. "Our little Tianxiang Pavilion is probably not big enough to accommodate this great Buddha."
