"Heh, these fellows were mocking me for losing my composure just now. Who would have thought that the moment news of Xiao Yan's arrival in the Gu Clan reached them, not one of them could sit still?"
Watching this scene, Ling Quan inexplicably felt a sudden surge of pleasure.
Yes, I can't be the only one suffering over this. If we're going to suffer, we should all suffer together.
As those words left his mouth, most of those present looked grim.
Most of them were in love with Xun'er. Even the few who were not, such as Gu Qingyang, regarded Gu Xun'er as a younger sister.
If Xiao Yan had been a gentleman, they might not have felt upset at all. Instead, they would have been happy for Xun'er. After all, Xiao Yan's talent and background arguably placed him first among his generation on the continent.
Only someone like that could be worthy of a prized daughter of the Gu Clan like Xun'er.
The problem was that Xiao Yan's reputation as a womanizer was not confined to the outside world. Many important figures within the Gu Clan had long since heard of it as well.
He was not satisfied with having the Gu Clan's treasured pearl as his fiancée and actually dared to chase flowers and flirt with women elsewhere. If not for the terrifying backing of the Xiao Clan, the Gu Clan's Saints would have dealt with him long ago, no matter how heaven-defying his talent was.
Before a superpower like the Gu Clan, anyone who had yet to become a Dou Sheng was ultimately of little consequence.
In other words, even if Xiao Yan truly became a Dou Sheng, the Gu Clan's powerhouses would not show him any respect without the Xiao Clan behind him.
*A Dou Sheng?
