Shiyun turned her head in the direction her father was pointing. Not far from them, the Hong Clan's young master, whom they had met at the inn the previous evening, stood out prominently amidst the gathering. He exuded a radiant charisma, his presence commanding attention much like the moon surrounded by a constellation of stars. It was evident that he was the focal point of the crowd, drawing admiration and respect from all who surrounded him.Mu Gong continued, his tone filled with a mixture of admiration and aspiration, "Young master Hong is truly a dragon among men, someone of genuine status and remarkable capability. Shiyun, it is my hope that one day, either you or your future husband will rise to such a level of prominence."Mu Shiyun's expression hardened slightly, a frown forming on her brow. Her father's words, though well-intentioned, struck a nerve. Just the day before, he had tried to pressure her into considering a future with Adam, and now he seemed fixated on the idea

Just as the tension between Adam and the two young masters reached a palpable peak, the arrival of a group of extraordinary experts went largely unnoticed. These individuals carried themselves with an air of quiet authority, and leading this impressive group was none other than Shu Liang.Among Shu Liang's group, a playful voice broke the solemnity of their arrival. "Brother Shu, Miss Shuyin hasn't arrived yet, so why are you rushing here?" the speaker teased, his tone lighthearted yet inquisitive.Shu Liang's expression softened into a smile at the mention of the girl. "Isn't it interesting to enjoy the crowd here?" he replied, his mind momentarily drifting to thoughts of Jiang Shuyin. To him, Jiang Shuyin was a figure of unparalleled grace and beauty, someone who would undoubtedly captivate and command the admiration of everyone present upon her arrival.As he mused over the impending entrance of Jiang Shuyin, Shu Liang’s attention was abruptly caught by a sight that caused him to

Hong Yue and Ju Nantian exchanged glances, but soon their faces broke into smug smiles, inciting laughter from those around them.Ju Nantian sneered. "Pathetic. You're nothing but an insignificant speck, attempting to challenge those far beyond your reach. It's laughable, really."Adam turned to Shu Liang. "Can you endure this any longer?"Shu Liang shook his head in resignation.Adam asked again, "And what about Miss Shuyin? Will this upset her?" Shu Liang shrugged nonchalantly. "That girl couldn't care less about it."Adam added, "But the bodyguards of those two fools are quite strong." Shu Liang grinned confidently. "Don't worry. They wouldn't dare to make a move."Adam nodded. "In that case, fine."Their hushed conversation only served to fuel the disdain of the surrounding spectators, who looked on with even greater contempt. And then, in a bold move, Adam stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Ju Nantian.Adam spoke with a calm, measured tone, his voice betraying no hint of the s

But for now, Jiang Shuyin refocused on the situation."Is that so?" Jiang Shuyin asked, her tone dripping with disbelief. Everyone present could see that she was far from convinced by Hong Yue and Ju Nantian's words. In response, Hong Yue and Ju Nantian have faces as pale as paper."Before this, I have already reminded you twice. Today, you will not be able to leave this place." Shu Liang said, taking a menacing step towards Hong Yue. As he did so, a destructive wave of energy erupted from him, causing the air around him to tremble with fearsome power.Hong Yue, taken aback by the sudden surge of energy, immediately activated the token his grandfather had given him. In an instant, an early stage Immortal Transformation level aura power formed the silhouette of an imposing old man."How dare you!" The manifestation roared, fixing Shu Liang with a cold gaze. The air grew colder as the Immortal's aura radiated from the manifestation, a testament to the immense power he possessed."You in

Jiang Shuyin's words were like a magnet, instantly drawing everyone's attention to Adam. The crowd buzzed with speculation, every set of eyes riveted on this enigmatic young man who had suddenly become the focus of such notable figures.A moment ago, Jiang Shuyin approached Shu Liang and tenderly held his hand. This simple yet profound gesture caused an uproar of surprise among the spectators. Shu Liang, after all, was not just any young man. He was the esteemed young master of the Shu Clan. If Jiang Shuyin was now extending the same courtesy and respect toward Adam as she did to Shu Liang, it begged the question.Who was Adam, really?Jiang Shuyin's tone also carried a weight of politeness when she addressed Adam. Her manner of speech was not lost on the observant audience, who knew that such a tone was reserved for individuals of significant standing. What status did this seemingly unassuming young man actually possess? What qualities or achievements made him worthy of Miss Shuyin'
