Chapter 76: Banquet

After Gu Nans identity received the elders approval, the Gu family finally began to create momentum for Gu Nan with all their might instead of pushing the envelope as before.

So within a very short amount of time, not only was the matter of Gu Nan crippling Long Quans leg widely publicized, but his fabricated identity also began to spread at a godly speed.

Some people claimed that he was a secluded genius and a secret weapon the Gu family hid away, just waiting for the chance when he could make a critical appearance and decide victory or defeat in one fell swoop.

Others claimed that he was an anomaly. Originally, he simply belonged to an insignificant side branch of the Gu family, but step by step, he walked to his current position through his outstanding talent.

There were also people who said

No matter which rumor people believed, for the various families living in Ruby Fish Stars capital, another person had now been added to the list of people who shouldnt be messed with.

And Gu Nian also began to take Gu Nan along to events in high society. Today they went to a banquet, tomorrow they cut the ribbon at an opening ceremony, and the day after that, they went to watch a Martial Arts Competition In short, she wanted to make Gu Nan a familiar face in high society as soon as possible.

Eldest Miss, Young Master Nan. Thank you both for attending my daughters birthday party

Wine goblets and gambling chips were intertwined at the scene of the banquet. A middle-aged man in a silver suit stood in front of the Gu siblings with a smile on his face. His attitude was extremely humble.

Naturally, Gu Nian was the one who dealt with this middle-aged man. This was the tacit understanding between Gu Nan and herselfafter all, this was already the sixth banquet in only fifteen days, so even if they didnt have any tacit understanding before, they did now.

The two were led by the middle-aged man himself. Gu Nian walked forward while being greeted by a chorus of Eldest Miss, while Gu Nan ran to one side and sat alone.

Gu Nian was naturally the center of attention everywhere she went, and many people also recognized Gu Nan because of his frequent appearances recently.

A few young girls next to him were holding glasses of wine. They turned their eyes this way.

This is that person from the Gu family, right?

Yes! I heard that hes a martial artist who can be called Prodigious Realm, just like Miss Gu!

So incredible

Gu Nan naturally heard all these conversations, but he was too lazy to show any expression in response. He merely sipped mouthful after mouthful of his drink, which was juice.

The role Gu Nan was currently playing was that of a genius youth with a cold and aloof temperamentin a sense, he was playing as himself.

Hes so handsome, even when hes drinking juice!

Gu Nans hand stopped for a moment, then returned to normal.

These young girls came from big families but had little martial arts talent themselves, so they were completely raised as flower vases. They worshipped such genius youths like Gu Nan the most.

Youre quite leisurely, hiding and watching from the sidelines every time, Gu Nian had reached his side at some point and said with a light smile as she sat down.

Not interested in dealing with them. Gu Nan said very straightforwardly, then asked with some confusion, You dont need to go over there?

Im just going through a mere formality today and meeting two people later while Im here. Gu Nian casually replied, The Martial Arts Competition will start in a few days. The martial arts hall over there is going to accept a group of newcomers. Do you have time to go there and take a look?

Gu Nan looked at her and seemed to be recalling something. The martial arts hall is recruiting new people? All right, Ill go tomorrow.

After the matter was settled, Gu Nian didnt stay by his side much longer and continued to participate in the banquet.

Gu Nan, on the other hand, unexpectedly met a pair of familiar faces after he sat alone for a while and greeted several waves of people.

Young Master Nan Shi Tianjing was standing behind Gu Nan along with his sister. Shi Tianjing had a slightly cautious smile on his face while Shi Miaoer, his younger sister, still had an unresigned look.

Gu Nan turned his head and glanced at the two. Oh, its you guys Whats up?

Shi Tianjing had all but lost his initial imposing manner. His smile looked a little fawning. This humble one specially brought my sister over to apologize to you, Young Master Nan

While saying that, he squeezed Shi Miaoers shoulder hard.

Only then did the latter lower her head and speak in a low, muffled voice, Sorry.

Gu Nan ignored them and just casually waved his hand.

Seeing that Gu Nan didnt reply, Shi Tianjing didnt dare to say anything else and hurriedly took his sister away.

Only after putting considerable distance between them did Shi Miaoer shake off her brothers hand with a resentful expression. Elder Brother! Even if hes in the Prodigious Realm, theres still no need for us to humble ourselves this much, right?!

Like you werent the one who caused all this trouble, Shi Tianjing retorted with a light snort. He was also in a bad mood after experiencing a tactful rejection.

What do you mean I caused this? He was clearly the one who hit me first! Shi Miaoer suddenly became angry, and even her voice got louder, scaring Shi Tianjing so much that he quickly covered her mouth.

Luckily they were far away, and it seemed like Gu Nan didnt hear her.

When Shi Miaoer saw her brother acting like this, she stomped her feet in anger and walked away alone. However, their voices attracted another person.

A young girl with light makeup and a petite figure walked over and placed a hand on Shi Miaoers shoulder.

What are you talking about? Jin Dians expression looked eager for gossip. Someone actually dared to hit our Miss Shi. Are they tired of living?

Jin Dian was precisely the protagonist of todays banquet and Shi Miaoers bosom friend.

The Jin family and the Shi family were of comparable status; they were both second-tier families in the capital. In these families, full knowledge of Gu Nans identity was limited to the decision-makers within the family.

As the daughter of an affluent family, Jin Dian only cared about perfume, sports cars, and other luxury goods. Where would she have the time to pay attention to matters between families?

When Shi Miaoer realized that Jin Dian didnt know, she also didnt want to mention the disgrace, so she simply replied casually, Its someone from the Gu family.

That fellow? Jin Dian pointed to Gu Nan. She saw the Shi family siblings come from over there.

Yeah Dont go looking for trouble! Shi Miaoer hurriedly persuaded when she saw her best friends expression. So that you dont offend the Gu family for no reason.

Shi Miaoers coverup only made things worse. Jin Dian completely ignored her words.

So what if its the Gu family? Can you be unreasonable as long as youre from the Gu family? Jin Dian snorted coldly. Just you watch!

Shi Miaoer watched Jin Dians figure leave and felt both a vengeance-like pleasure in her heart and also a hint of worry.

Jin Dian went to the back of the banquet and immediately found her target after she checked the guest list.

Gu Nan? A nobody! Miss Jin laughed disdainfully. Hmph, to think hed even hit a woman. Is he still a man?

She casually beckoned a maid over and handed her a list that she had just written.

The maid took the list and easily remembered the names on it. She asked hesitantly, M-Miss, do you want to inform e-everyone on this list?

Thats right. Dont miss a single person! Jin Dian glared. Find other people to help if you cant finish in time. In any case, I want all the people on this list to be ready before the banquet starts!

The maid hurriedly took the list and went down to prepare, but in her heart, she was speechless.

I wonder who offended the Miss, for her to actually mobilize such a huge network of people If so many young masters and ladies band together, Im afraid no one can afford to mess with them.

A smile reappeared on Jin Dians face as she watched the maid leave. She threw the files on Gu Nan to the side.
