"What kind of woman could possibly be worthy of a young man like that?"
Yu Luomian sighed.
Yu Luomian truly envied such a young man.
Looking at Liu Erlong beside him, he realized how blind she was to have been with that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang.
With Liu Erlong's qualifications, she could easily find a better, more qualified man.
What a cruel twist of fate!
At this moment, Gu Wuchen was in high spirits.
Gu Wuchen accepted the scepter and bowed deeply to the audience once again.
The cheers continued for a long time, and golden petals rained down from the sky, landing on his shoulders.
As the ceremony came to a close, Qian Daoliu once again stepped onto the platform, raised his hand to quell the noise, and the entire hall fell silent instantly.
"You've all come from afar, thank you for your hard work." His voice was loud and clear, and a rare smile graced his face. "Today is a joyous day for my Spirit Hall, no one is leaving! I have prepared a banquet inside the hall, let's all drink until we drop and celebrate Wuchen's passing!"
"Very well! Thank you Great Enshrined!"
The audience erupted in enthusiastic response once again. Representatives from various factions stood up, their faces beaming with smiles.
Being able to attend the celebration banquet for the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall is itself a symbol of status.
As soon as Gu Wuchen stepped off the platform, he was surrounded.
Congratulations, Your His Highness the Holy Son!
" Young Master Gu is so promising at such a young age; truly a formidable young talent!"
" The Gu Clan is truly blessed to have produced such a prodigy!"
He was showered with compliments, which Gu Wuchen responded to with a polite smile.
After one round, he felt completely overwhelmed, and his smile almost froze.
Within the Sea of Consciousness, the Snow Empress chuckled gloatingly, "How's it going? Being Holy Son isn't easy, is it? I told you, these people are the most troublesome."
Gu Wuchen sighed helplessly in his heart. Just as he was about to find an excuse to slip away, Bo Saixi had already walked over.
She stood silently in front of Gu Wuchen, giving the crowd a faint smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, Wuchen has just finished the ceremony and hasn't had a chance to rest yet. We can talk about this at the banquet."
The Peerless Douluo emanated from her unintentionally, and those surrounding her immediately and tactfully dispersed.
"Auntie is really amazing." Gu Wuchen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Bo Saixi with gratitude.
Bo Saixi chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Why be so polite with your aunt? Let's go to the banquet hall; your parents are already waiting for us there."
The group entered the banquet hall of the Spirit Hall.
The banquet hall was resplendent with gold and jade, and the long tables were laden with delicacies and fine wines.
As melodious music filled the air, maids carrying trays moved about, creating a lively yet dignified atmosphere.
Qian Daoliu sat in the main seat, with Gu Linchuan and Shen Suwei sitting beside him. When Gu Wuchen entered, Shen Suwei immediately waved to him.
Gu Wuchen walked over and sat down. Shen Suwei picked up a piece of pork rib for him.
"Are you starving? Eat something to fill your stomach first, there will definitely be a lot of people toasting you later."
Sure enough, not long after, someone came over with a wine glass.
Ning Fengzhi led Chen Xin and Gu Rong to the table and raised his wine glass:
" Holy Son Gu, Mr. Gu! I'd like to raise a glass to you and wish you a bright future."
"You're too kind Sect Master Ning."
Gu Wuchen picked up his wine glass, clinked it against his, and drank it all in one gulp.
Yu Yuanzhen followed, looking at Gu Wuchen with admiration in his eyes.
" Holy Son Gu, I Yu Yuanzhen, rarely admire anyone, but you are one of them. I'll drink this cup!"
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass, then slammed the glass down on the table.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect already had a close cooperative relationship with the Gu Clan.
At this time, it is perfectly normal for them to come and offer their congratulations.
The banquet gradually reached its climax.
Gu Wuchen was toasted repeatedly, but fortunately, his Soul Power was profound, so this amount of wine was nothing to him.
Qian Daoliu looked at the spirited Gu Wuchen, his smile never fading.
He raised his glass and smiled at Gu Linchuan and Shen Suwei, saying, "You two are truly blessed to have such a son."
Gu Linchuan raised his glass with a smile, "Haha, Great Enshrined, Your Excellency."
The banquet hall was filled with clinking glasses and constant laughter.
After dealing with another round of toasts, Gu Wuchen couldn't take it anymore.
He whispered to Qian Daoliu that he was going to get some fresh air, and before Qian Daoliu respond, he quickly slipped out of the banquet hall.
A cool evening breeze swept over me, dispelling the lingering smell of alcohol and the noise.
Gu Wuchen breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against a pillar, and rubbed his stiff cheeks.
He secretly rejoiced that he had finally escaped; if he had stayed any longer, he would have been overwhelmed by the endless compliments.
This is the first time I've seen so many people; I hope there won't be so many next time.
He straightened his robes and prepared to return to his palace to rest.
Walking too fast, they didn't notice someone suddenly appearing from around the corner, and the two collided head-on.
"Ouch! Who is it? Can't you watch where you're going?"
The woman's voice carried a hint of spoiled complaint as she covered her forehead and took two steps back.
Gu Wuchen was also knocked back a step and quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going."
He looked up and was slightly taken aback.
The woman before me wore a long golden dress, her skin was as white as snow, and her dazzling golden hair was draped over her shoulders. Her features were as delicate as a porcelain doll.
Gu Wuchen thought to himself, "Isn't this Qian Renxue?"
Wasn't she disguised as Xue Qinghe in the Heaven Dou Empire? Why did she suddenly return to the Spirit Hall?
Qian Renxue also raised her head and saw Gu Wuchen's face clearly. Her angry expression instantly froze.
She looked Gu Wuchen up and down, her eyes widening slightly as she gazed at his Holy Son's robes.
"You... you're Gu Wuchen? The Gu Wuchen who just became the Holy Son?"
It's been so long since we last met. You've inherited the title of Holy Son, yet you still won't let me try out the products in Heaven Dou City.
That's a truly despicable guy.
Gu Wuchen nodded and apologized again:
"It was my fault just now, I bumped into you. Are you alright?"
"It's alright, it's alright." Qian Renxue quickly waved her hand. "Actually, I wasn't looking where I was going either, so it's not entirely your fault."
Grandpa sent her many letters every day, saying that Gu Wuchen was a once-in-a-millennium genius, even more outstanding than she was back then.
"My name is Qian Renxue, and I am Qian Daoliu's granddaughter." Qian Renxue extended her hand, a sweet smile on her face. "I've heard so much about you before, it's great to finally meet you in person today."
Gu Wuchen smiled and extended his hand as well, but found that Qian Renxue's palm was very small. She tried to grip his arm tightly, but found that she couldn't get any strength in it.
Qian Renxue was stunned. She couldn't even muster any strength. Could it be that the opponent was Soul Emperor?
That's impossible.
Regardless, Qian Renxue was very unhappy.
He withdrew his hand and snorted coldly, "Congratulations on becoming Holy Son. This is our first meeting, and as the saying goes, 'No fight, no friendship.' How about we have a go at it?"
They need to be taught a good lesson, otherwise I won't feel satisfied.
