Just as everyone was puzzled and confused.
In the corner of his eye, Gu Chenan sensed a gaze filled with resentment and envy.
He turned around, and that gaze immediately transformed into a flattering smile.
"Mr. Gu," the owner of that gaze, Liang Bufan, nodded and bowed.
From the moment Gu Chenan appeared, Liang Bufan looked at him with a hint of resentment.
When Liang Bufan saw that Gu Chenan was accompanied by Su Qianmo from the Su family in the East Sea, his jealousy was about to explode.
Miss Su is just too beautiful, isn't she?
She's simply a stunning fairy!
And Miss Su didn't even deny that she was Gu Chenan's fiancée!
Even Mingrui still likes him despite Gu Chenan having a fiancée!
Damn it! Gu Chenan, you deserve to die!
But when Gu Chenan's gaze fell on him, Liang Bufan immediately withdrew the envy and resentment in his eyes, though Gu Chenan noticed.
He was indeed jealous of Gu Chenan, but Gu Chenan's strength and background were there for all to see.
He didn't dare to provoke Gu Chenan or the Gu family.
Gu Chenan was slightly surprised when he saw Liang Bufan.
Liang Bufan?!
Damn, why is this idiot looking at me like that?
Could he want to test me?
Oh no, if I really have to compete with him, won't he just hang me up and beat me?
No, I can't clash with him!
Gu Chenan's inner thoughts appeared, startling Su Qianmo directly.
What, this person actually wants to test Gu Chenan's skills?
According to what Gu Chenan said, he's not even this person's match!
No, no matter what, I can't let Gu Chenan compete with this person today!
And Liu Mingrui was equally surprised.
She looked at Gu Chenan, then frowned at Liang Bufan.
Liang Bufan wants to compete with Chenan?
What does he mean? Does he not want to live anymore?
If you dare to threaten to compete with Chenan today, I'll break your legs!
Thinking this, Liu Mingrui couldn't help but feel strange.
When they were at the Ye family's place, Chenan easily knocked Lin Yu unconscious.
According to reason, Chenan's skills should be pretty good, but he actually dares to say that Liang Bufan would hang him up and beat him in his inner thoughts?
Is Liang Bufan's strength really that high?
Liu Mingrui looked at Liang Bufan, slowly clenching her fists.
Since that's the case, today I absolutely cannot let this happen!
If you want to lay a hand on Chenan, you'll have to defeat me first!
Gu Chenan was completely unaware of the thoughts of the two women. Right now, he just wanted to figure out how to avoid letting Liang Bufan compete with him.
Although in the original plot, Liang Bufan was supposed to compete with Lin Yu, now that he had won Lin Yu's championship, the development of this matter was unpredictable.
But no matter what, today he couldn't provoke Liang Bufan!
Thinking this, Gu Chenan completely ignored Liang Bufan's earlier unfriendly gaze.
"Who are you?"
According to the original plot, the current Gu Chenan didn't know Liang Bufan at all, so he could only pretend not to recognize him.
"Mr. Gu, I am Liang Bufan, a nobody from Su Hang," Liang Bufan said humbly.
Seeing Liang Bufan's reaction, Gu Chenan was slightly stunned.
Wow, dude, your personality is seriously off, isn't it?
Shouldn't you be the arrogant cannon fodder character? Why so humble?
With this thought, Gu Chenan couldn't help but feel a little ecstatic.
Honestly, being a background villain is great. The same actions on the protagonist would invite ridicule and provocation, but when it's the antagonist, all that's left is praise and flattery.
Looks like Liang Bufan won't be provoking me anymore.
Gu Chenan's anxious heart finally settled.
He looked at Old Master Liu again and said, "Old Master, do you like this jade?"
As he spoke, he placed the jade Guanyin in his hand on the table beside Liu Zhenshan.
Liu Zhenshan picked up the box, glanced at it, and furrowed his brows slightly.
[Very good, Old Master, just the reaction I wanted!]
Gu Chenan's expression brightened slightly as he watched Liu Zhenshan's reaction.
[In the plot, Old Master Liu had the same expression when he saw the Jade Guanyin!]
[So, at least this part of Old Master Liu's storyline isn't collapsing!]
[Finally, a storyline that doesn't collapse!]
[Next, let's wait for Dragon King Lin Yu to bring a modern crafted sword and make Old Master happy!]
On the side, Liu Mingrui's expression subtly changed as she heard Gu Chenan's thoughts.
Plot?
What is Chenan talking about?
Liu Mingrui didn't react immediately, but she noticed the key point in Gu Chenan's thoughts.
That Gu Chenan seemed to intentionally want to upset Old Master Liu by giving him the Jade Guanyin!
Moreover, he even knew that Lin Yu would bring a modern crafted sword!
With this in mind, Liu Mingrui gave him a fierce look.
You, Gu Chenan!
Do you think that if you make Old Master angry, he won't support my liking for you?
Humph!
You're dreaming!
"Chenan, do you have a reason for giving me the Jade Guanyin?"
At this moment, Old Master Liu raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Chenan.
Gu Chenan followed the original lines of the plot and said, "Of course, Old Master. As the saying goes, men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, so..."
But before he could finish, Liu Mingrui interrupted, "Dad, I asked Chenan to give you the Jade Guanyin. How about it, are you satisfied?"
Gu Chenan: ?
[What the heck, Liu Mingrui, what are you doing?]
[What do you mean you asked me to give it? Clearly, I wanted to give it myself!]
"Oh?" Old Master Liu looked at Liu Mingrui and said, "Why did you ask Chenan to give this to me?"
Liu Mingrui chuckled, "Chenan was so indecisive about what gift to give you, Dad. Seeing him struggle, I thought it would be best for him to give you the Jade Guanyin."
"Dad, think about it. You've killed so many enemies in your life, what if they turn into evil spirits and bother you all day?"
"I heard that the Jade Guanyin can ward off evil and bring luck, so I had Chenan give it to you."
Liu Mingrui nodded as she spoke, seemingly wanting to make Liu Zhenshan believe it.
Liu Zhenshan was momentarily stunned, shook his head, and said, "Even if they turn into evil spirits, I'm not afraid!"
With that said, he looked at Gu Chenan again and said, "Although I say so, Old Master that I am, I still thank Chenan."
"To be honest, I'm just celebrating my birthday for the sake of some excitement. Whatever you give me is fine. Is it worth scratching your head over?" Although Liu Zhenshan said so, he was actually quite pleased.
Even though Gu Chenan seemed troubled about what gift to give him for his birthday, it showed that Gu Chenan considered his birthday to be an important matter!
Heh heh.
Liu Zhenshan chuckled to himself.
Am I really that important in Chenan's heart?
Unlike Liu Zhenshan's joy, he was utterly confused.
What's Liu Mingrui up to?
Huh?
He looked at Liu Mingrui's mischievous face completely baffled.
[Damn, just when the plot was about to get back on track, what the heck is wrong with you, Liu Mingrui?]
[Well, this is great. Not only did Old Master Liu not feel displeased, he even thought I put my heart into wishing him a happy birthday and giving him gifts.]
[Oh, for heaven's sake, I could slap you with a snowball!]
"Wishing Old Master Liu blessings as vast as the eastern sea and a longevity as enduring as the southern mountains!"
Just then, a clear voice outside the main hall caught everyone's attention.
All eyes turned to see a man with bangs covering his eyes, carrying a long sword, walking in slowly.
And he was none other than Dragon King Lin Yu!
