The Jin familys birthday banquet finally began.

The guests gathered together, surrounded by distinguished friends. Gu Nan, however, still sat alone at the corner table, like a destitute companion.

However, the truly perceptive people would never think so.

This didnt require any knowledge of Gu Nans identity. Anyone who could occupy a single table alone in such a banquet, with no one else daring to approachthis fact in itself was worth pondering.

When everyone had enough to eat and drink, the birthday girl of todays banquet, Miss Jin, finally made her appearance.

She stood in the center of the venue and spoke with composure and assurance, thanking most of the people presentjust like the most conventional banquet speech.

But at the end, she suddenly changed the subject.

In addition to thanking everyone for coming to celebrate my birthday, there is one more matter to address today. Jin Dian had a faint smile, but her words gave many people a bad feeling.

My close sister, Miaoer, had a slight misunderstanding with a friend earlier. It just so happens that the gentleman in question is also present today

As soon as Jin Dian raised her hand, the lights in the hall began to slowly shift and soon fell on Gu Nans location, instantly making him the center of attention.

Jin Dians father Jin Qin, who had greeted the two Gu family siblings earlier, was currently below the stage. His expression suddenly sank.

What was even more awkward for the Jin familys patriarch was that Gu Nian was standing right beside him, watching the scene with great interest.

He hurriedly clarified, Eldest Miss, someone mustve deliberately instigated this matter. This is a misunderstanding!

Gu Nian waved her hand and laughed lightly. Mr. Jin, theres no need to be nervous. I dont mind. Its just that if you dont put a stop to this farce quickly, Im afraid that your beloved daughter will be in danger.

Cold sweat began to slide down Jin Qins forehead. Just when he wanted to climb the stage to stop Jin Dian, another person placed a hand on his shoulder.

Old Jin, why worry about it? The newcomer was a sturdy young man who looked seventy or eighty percent similar to Long Quan. With Eldest Miss around, Im sure that Gu Nan would never dare to be so wanton.

This man was Long Quans older brother, Long Yi. Although he himself was not a seed candidate with the potential to step into Prodigious Realm, he was nevertheless a young master of the Long family with considerable standing and could be said to be one of the representatives of the Long familys younger generation.

The seed candidates were busy burying their heads in bitter cultivation; how could they have the time to attend such a reception?

Young Master Long Jin Qins heart was slightly reassured. At the same time, he also cast his gaze at Gu Nian.

Gu Nian, however, shrugged. Dont look at me. I cant control him.

Long Yis expression immediately darkened, and Jin Qins cold sweat flowed down again.

While they were talking below, onstage, Jin Dian had already summarized the feud between the two, Miaoer has always been a little blunt and undiplomatic with her words and offended Mr. Gu Nan. Here, I will first apologize on behalf of Miaoer.

Jin Dian adopted a humble attitude as soon as she started, while the surrounding crowd was entirely silent, as if no one had heard her last sentence.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she immediately continued, But Mr. Gu, you used violence on a lady like Miaoer just because of your martial arts cultivation. Shouldnt you also apologize for that?

When Jin Dians words fell, it was like the prelude to a war had been unveiled. Loud condemnations immediately rang out around them.

Shes right, apologize!

Youre a man, yet you actually dared to use violence against Miss Shi. Do you have any shame?

Ha, a century-old family like the Gu family actually produced this kind of person. What a disgrace!

Countless accusations and invective surrounded Gu Nan in an instant.

The people that Jin Dian could persuade were naturally young masters from families she was acquainted with, so their statuses were also comparable to her own. Thus, most of them didnt know the specifics about Gu Nan.

And right now, none of them even thought about investigating further.

Jin Dians words were very clever. She had already placed herself on a moral high ground, completely oppressing the other party with the momentum of the situation and the audience.

Even if that person can fight, what can he do? Can he beat up everyone here?

Everyone understood that the law wouldnt be able punish the entire public. As long as enough people spoke up, Gu Nan wouldnt be able to do anything.

There were also people who recognized Gu Nans identity and hurriedly tried to pull their companions back, but unfortunately, they were too late.

Gu Nan just sat in his seat, completely unmoved.

A young man couldnt stand to watch anymore. He strode forward and stopped in front of Gu Nan, looking down at him condescendingly.

Gu Nan, right? This youth seemed to be the crowds representative. He said coldly, Give me some face. Go apologize to Miss Shi, and this matter will be forgotten. Otherwise, even if you are a member of the Gu family

Gu Nan, who had been ignoring the crowd up until now, finally turned his head when he heard such a sentence.

Everyone just saw him wave his hand. A black shadow suddenly rose up from the ground and turned into a gigantic black palm, which slapped the youth hard and sent him flying away.

This slap was so powerful that the young man flew from one corner of the venue all the way to the podium, smashing through two layers of glass windows in quick succession before landing at Jin Dians feet.

Shards of glass were embedded in his face, and his left arm, which was hit directly, had twisted ninety degrees. He cut an extremely miserable figure.

Jin Dians face was full of bewilderment. She didnt even realize what had just happened until she saw the tragic state of the young man on the ground and suddenly screamed.

But her scream soon came to an abrupt end, because she felt a sudden darkness in front of her. When she looked up, Gu Nan was already standing in front of her.

Dont Dont come over! Miss Jin had lost all of her formerly imposing mannerism. Her small face was incomparably pale as she repeatedly backed up.

Someone below the stage roared, Gu Nan, dont bully intolerably!

Thats right! We have so many families here, you dare

Before those words even fell, black shadows simultaneously rose up behind the ones who spoke out, and giant hands grabbed them and threw them onto the stage.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

There were several consecutive sounds of glass being shattered, and several more unconscious people appeared at Jin Dians feet.

Gu Nan slowly turned his head and showed an inexplicable smile towards those onstage. Although he didnt speak, everyone understood his meaning I dare.

There were still some people who wanted to speak out, but they were pulled back by the people around them, who revealed Gu Nans identity through whispers.

One by one, the ones who wanted to speak out lost all color in their faces and hurriedly sat upright with lingering fear in their hearts.

So hes that one Fortunately, I didnt speak out.

Young Master Nan, Young Master Nan Only then did Jin Dian hurriedly run up to the stage and bow repeatedly in apology. Its all my daughters fault. Young Master Nan, please give me some face

This person also wanted me to give him face. Gu Nan smiled as he pointed down at the first youth he slapped away, who was still lying on the ground even now. See what happened to him?

Faced with such a blunt threat, Jin Qins heart sank a little. For a moment, he didnt know what to say.

He became the head of his family only through money and status. When had he ever seen someone completely unreasonable like Gu Nan?

What about me? I wonder if Young Master Nan can give me some face? A voice traveled over slowly.

The crowd turned their heads towards the new voice and saw Long Yi wearing a smile as he slowly walked up to the stage.

Gu Nans methods were too ruthless. Most of the people below the stage were angry, but they didnt dare speak out. But when they saw Long Yis appearance, hope arose in their hearts.

Hes also from the three great families. This person wont be able to act brazenly anymore, right?

Crash!

The next moment, the giant hand appeared, and the last piece of glass was also smashed to pieces. Classmate Long Yi joined the rest and fell onto the stage.

Whos this? Gu Nan asked Jin Qin, who was beside him
