Judging from the aroma of the tea, Gu Li could tell that the tea Gongsun Sheng used to brew himself was of the finest quality. Although he couldn't name the tea, it was somewhat similar to the celestial tea from Qianjue Mountain.
"Please, Master," Gongsun Sheng said with a smile.
Gu Li smiled and said, "The tea is good, but..."
Gu Li glanced around with a look of disgust and said, "The environment we're in is just awful!"
"This... Master, please forgive me. There was a reason for what happened today. After my grandson and the young lady of the Yan family get engaged, I will definitely find a beautiful place to entertain you." Gongsun Sheng hurriedly said upon hearing this.
Gu Li shook his head and said meaningfully, "It seems that Mr. Gongsun did not understand my meaning."
Gongsun Sheng's expression changed, and he respectfully asked, "Please enlighten me, Master."
"This place has been corrupted. If Mr. Gongsun wishes to ensure his health, he should leave as soon as possible," Gu Li said solemnly. "Don't wait until it's too late to regret it!"
Gongsun Sheng finally understood: Gu Li meant for him to cancel the engagement banquet!
But why?
Just as Gongsun Sheng was considering whether to cancel the engagement banquet, his subordinate suddenly rushed in and said urgently, "Master, something bad has happened! A guest downstairs has fainted."
Gongsun Sheng asked in surprise, "Fainted? How could you have fainted?"
Gu Li stood up, smiled, and said, "People with weak constitutions will naturally faint when the filth enters their bodies!"
"Master, this..." Gongsun Sheng hurriedly asked, "Today is my engagement day. Do you have any way to cleanse it of impurities?"
Gu Li shook his head and said, "There's no other way. We should evacuate people as soon as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire!"
Gongsun Sheng nodded helplessly after hearing Gu Li's words, "Alright, I'll send people to evacuate them right away."
A few minutes ago, the debate between Luo Zichen and Mo Chen ended with Mo Chen's defeat. Mo Chen reacted quickly, explaining, "Even if what I said seems wrong to you, I, Mo Chen, have always acted uprightly and have never done anything wrong!"
Luo Zichen chuckled and waved her hand, saying, "Anyone could say something like that. Whatever you say goes! The best way to test a person is... just wait and see!"
"You..." Mo Chen wanted to argue, but suddenly someone in the crowd rolled their eyes and collapsed.
A gasp rippled through the crowd:
"What happened?"
"Why did this person suddenly collapse?"
"Could it be an epileptic seizure?"
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on the person lying on the ground, Luo Zichen didn't say anything and quietly left with Gu Muqing.
Watching Luo Zichen leave, Mo Chen tried to stop her, but unexpectedly a group of reporters surrounded her and blocked her way.
"Mr. Mo, could you please explain the details of Mo Li's deception?"
"Is Mo Li really not your biological brother? Is it true that you were the illegitimate child in the rumors?"
Mo Chen was covered in cold sweat and almost cursed. "There's someone lying on the ground over there and you're not paying attention to them, but instead staring at me and asking me questions."
Fortunately, just as Mo Chen was about to lash out, Gongsun Sheng sent word that the engagement banquet was canceled and all guests were to leave.
This news truly surprised everyone, but looking at the guy who had fainted on the ground, they nodded in agreement. Since something had happened here, the engagement banquet should be postponed to another day.
However, upon hearing the news that the engagement banquet was to be canceled, Yan Hai could no longer sit still and went directly to Gongsun Sheng.
"Old Sun, what's wrong with you? Didn't we agree to get things done today?" Yan Hai couldn't help but ask as soon as he entered the door.
Gongsun Sheng said apologetically, "Sorry, old friend, there's a reason for this. For safety's sake, it's better for everyone to leave."
Yan Hai said with a displeased look, "Then let's finalize their marriage and get them the marriage certificate!"
Yan Hai was in such a hurry because he already knew Lin Momo was still alive. He had a premonition that Lin Momo would appear and disrupt the marriage! So he had to confirm it quickly; otherwise, even if she came, it would be too late!
Gongsun Sheng thought for a moment and nodded. "Old buddy is right, then let's get the marriage certificate..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Li's eyes darted around and he quickly stopped them, saying, "Wait! This is a special situation. There's still cholera spreading outside. I think it would be better for the two newlyweds to go to the hospital for a check-up. If they're both healthy, then we can get the marriage certificate later!"
Seeing Gu Li's dignified and otherworldly appearance, Yan Hai was taken aback and dared not offend him, saying, "This master is right, their health is the most important thing. I will send a doctor to examine them right away."
Gu Li said, "Your private doctors probably don't know the specific symptoms of this cholera outbreak, do they? I think it's better to go to a reputable hospital!"
"Yes, yes, the master is right, let's listen to the master! Let's take him to the nearest hospital for a checkup!" Gongsun Sheng hurriedly said.
Yan Hai immediately panicked. Wasn't the Third Hospital the closest one to them? What if Yan Xiyue ran into Lin Momo?
Seeing that Yan Hai seemed hesitant, Gu Li smiled and said, "Old man, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Yan Hai nodded helplessly, "Yes, yes."
Gu Li chatted with Gongsun Sheng for a few more minutes before leaving with Gu Cheng. When they went downstairs, they found that everyone in the hall had already left.
"With that, the engagement is settled, and the girl can rest assured," Gu Li said with a smug smile.
"Uncle, what are you grinning about here?" Lin Momo and Gu Tao walked over and asked, puzzled.
"I've already ruined the engagement party, how about that? Am I amazing, huh?" Gu Li said smugly.
