"Yay, I'll be able to wear new clothes then! The clothes that Little Wuchen designed for me are sure to be beautiful."
Ice Empress rubbed their hands together, looking excited.
Looking at the exuberantly gesturing Ice Empress, Snow Empress suddenly said, "It's all thanks to me, Bing'er. You should say that Xue'er is the best."
"Dream on!" Ice Empress scoffed.
Gu Wuchen ignored the invitation and focused on his journey. He had been invited numerous times, was going to the Soul Fighting Arena Competition, and also needed to settle all matters concerning the Blue Silver King.
Heaven Dou City
The place was still packed with people, with a constant stream of pedestrians. Gu Wuchen glanced around and saw that the Gu Clan's shops were still teeming with people, with long queues.
This happens almost every day, but Gu Wuchen limits the number of purchases to prevent people from wanting to buy but not being able to. However, scalpers exist everywhere.
Gu Wuchen came to Heaven Dou City, but he didn't come very often in the past four years. He spent almost all of his time practicing the Golden Body Tempering Technique and receiving guidance from Qian Daoliu.
As for Qian Renxue's identity, he has never met her.
"Oh, isn't this Young Master Gu? Long time no see."
Before Gu Wuchen could speak, his right hand was suddenly grabbed by a pair of slender, warm arms.
" Young Master Gu."
The tall and beautiful Dugu Yan was looking at him with a sweet smile.
" Miss Yanyan, that old poisoner." Gu Wuchen suddenly realized and looked to his left.
Dugu Bo, with a rosy complexion and full of energy, appeared before them.
Having escaped the backlash of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom's venom, Dugu Bo's complexion improved day by day.
His originally gray hair gradually turned black.
Dugu Bo smiled and said, " Young Master Gu hasn't been to Heaven Dou City for a while. How have you been?"
Gu Wuchen said calmly, "Thank you for your concern. Everything is as usual. What are you all doing here?"
"What did the Heaven Dou Royal Academy say? They're holding their annual assessment, and as Yanyan's grandfather, I naturally have to attend in person."
"I heard that the sect leaders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will be present, as will His Highness the Crown Prince."
"It's a very grand and lively event every year. Since Young Master Gu is here too, let's go together."
Dugu Bo extended a warm invitation, and with Gu Wuchen's status, he would receive face wherever he went. What kind of scene would he witness upon arrival? One can easily guess.
Dugu Yan, standing to Gu Wuchen's right, shook his arm. "Yes, Young Master Gu, let's go together and see Yanyan's charm."
Dugu Yan's tone was somewhat coquettish, indicating that she really wanted Gu Wuchen to go with her.
"No problem."
The three of them set off immediately, with Dugu Bo leading the way and Dugu Yan affectionately linking arms with Gu Wuchen.
Chattering away about the interesting things that happened at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the three of them soon arrived at the entrance of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The academy gate was majestic and imposing, made entirely of white marble. Two rows of Soul Master guards, clad in armor, stood at the entrance, their auras calm and composed, and the lowest level among them was Soul Grandmaster.
Upon seeing Dugu Bo, the guard's expression changed instantly. He immediately bowed and showed no sign of obstruction, allowing him to pass.
As you enter the academy, the roads are lined with shady trees, and students can be seen cultivating everywhere. Many people stop and bow to greet Dugu Bo, the Titled Douluo, but their eyes can't help but fall on Gu Wuchen, full of curiosity.
Before they had gone far, a gentle voice came from nearby:
" Young Master Gu, how have you been?"
Gu Wuchen looked up and saw Ning Fengzhi, dressed in a moon-white robe, walking towards him with a smile, accompanied by the hunched-over Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
Gu Wuchen nodded slightly and returned the greeting with a smile:
" Sect Master Ning, it's been a long time."
Ning Fengzhi strode forward, his gaze falling on Gu Wuchen, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes:
"Four years have passed, Young Master Gu's charm is even greater than before. By the way, the Gu Clan's new Wuchen Calming Incense is very popular throughout the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Young Master Gu truly lives up to his reputation as an expert in craftsmanship."
"You're too kind, Sect Master Ning. Business dealings are only natural."
Gu Wuchen responded calmly.
Gu Rong, standing to the side, also cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Wuchen and grinned, as if to say hello.
He had heard Ning Fengzhi mention this Young Master Gu before. Not only did he come from a distinguished family, but he was also a personal disciple of Qian Daoliu, and his strength was unfathomable. Naturally, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.
As the group exchanged pleasantries, a series of steady footsteps sounded from not far away, accompanied by a domineering and fierce dragon's might.
Everyone turned to look and saw a middle-aged man dressed in purple, with a burly build, striding towards them. His face was resolute, and his body exuded a powerful aura of Soul Power. He was none other than Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Ning Fengzhi stepped forward with a smile and introduced Yu Yuanzhen:
"Brother Yu, this is Gu Wuchen, the young master of the Gu Clan and the personal disciple of the Great Enshrined of the Spirit Hall."
Yu Yuanzhen's gaze fell on Gu Wuchen, his pupils contracted slightly, and his face was full of surprise.
He had heard of Gu Wuchen's reputation before, but this was the first time he had met him in person.
The young man before him, though young, possessed an aura as steady as a mountain. It was rumored that his First Soul Ring was Thousand-Year Soul Ring, making him several times more terrifying than the genius disciple of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen withdrew his dragon aura, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Wuchen, and spoke with genuine admiration:
"I've long admired Young Master Gu's reputation, and seeing him today, I can confirm it's well-deserved. To have such cultivation at such a young age, his future is limitless."
Gu Wuchen bowed slightly in return, his tone calm. " Sect Master Yu, you flatter me. I'm simply focusing on my cultivation."
Suddenly, a girl who looked like a delicate porcelain doll peeked out from behind Ning Fengzhi, "Hehe, Young Master Gu."
"Hello Rongrong, long time no see, you've grown taller again." Gu Wuchen greeted her with a smile.
When Ning Rongrong saw Gu Wuchen's handsome and dignified face and his smile, her heart raced, and she shyly shrank back.
"Haha, Young Master Gu, you flatter me."
Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
Normally, Ning Rongrong is a powerful figure in the sect, like a Little Demoness. Who would dare to disrespect her? Basically, her word is law.
I never expected to see Gu Wuchen like such a well-behaved girl today.
This sight truly left Gu Rong dumbfounded.
Is this still the Ning Rongrong I know?
Chen Xin hasn't arrived yet; he'll probably be even more shocked to see this scene.
Just as they were having a lively conversation, a handsome man with short blond hair, wearing a gilded robe, walked over.
"Gentlemen, you seem to be having a very pleasant chat."
Qian Renxue saw everyone and walked over with a smile, greeting them one by one.
When she faced Gu Wuchen, he suddenly turned his back, causing her hand to freeze in mid-air.
What's this guy up to now?
Is he so at odds with himself?
I didn't mind that she wasn't allowed to try the products before.
Gu Wuchen chose to ignore it, taking it as a chance to make Qian Renxue suffer since she had been harassing him at the villa all the time.
After a brief pause,
Gu Wuchen turned around, a hint of surprise in his expression, "Isn't this His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Qian Renxue clenched her fists, her heart filled with rage. Did they think she was a fool?
