That evening, luxury cars lined up in front of the Emerald Lake Manor Hotel.
Today was a special day. The Yan Xing Group had sent invitations to more than half of the families in Jianghai City.
They were invited to attend this banquet, but in reality, everyone knew what it was really about.
This was a banquet where the Yan Xing Group would announce their next heir.
Some guests were standing in the lobby, not because they couldn't enter the banquet hall, but because they wanted to see who else would show up.
A few guests exchanged business cards, chatting while speculating about which families would come tonight.
"In my opinion, all the top families in Jianghai City will be here tonight."
"Families like the Gu Family and the Yan Family will definitely come."
"And some celebrities under the Yan Xing Group will surely be here too."
"Hehe, who do you think will come from the Gu Family? That young master Gu?"
When Gu Yan was mentioned, a hint of mockery appeared on their faces: "If young master Gu comes, it means Shen Wan'er from the Shen Family will be here too. After all, who doesn't know how much he likes Shen Wan'er?"
"Haha, it's a pity that Gu Tianming was shrewd all his life, only to have such a pathetic son."
The next second.
"Hey! What nasty things are you lot saying behind people's backs?!"
An angry female voice came from behind them.
They were startled and turned around.
They saw a girl with dyed blonde hair, wearing an outfit that clearly didn't fit the banquet dress code, standing behind them with her hands on her hips, looking furious.
The men exchanged glances, unsure how to proceed.
Such attire was clearly out of place at this banquet. If she wasn't from a small family unfamiliar with etiquette, then she must have a powerful background that allowed her to be so carefree.
So they all let out a dry laugh and scattered.
"This makes me so mad!"
Leng Ling'er was so angry at the fleeing men that her teeth itched. She wanted nothing more than to go over and give them a few punches.
How dare they talk bad about fish-brained Gu behind his back, and call him a simp?
Who are you calling a simp?! My brother-in-law doesn't even like that Shen Wan'er anymore!
Leng Ling'er's angry appearance startled Leng Xing'an as he walked in.
He hurried over and tried to comfort her: "My little ancestor, what's wrong now?"
"This place is full of rich and powerful people today. We can't cause any trouble. If the Leng Family gets targeted, it would be terrible."
Hearing this, Leng Ling'er grumbled: "Uncle, you're such a coward. We have my brother-in-law, what are we afraid of?"
"Not to mention those jerks were badmouthing my brother-in-law, calling him a simp."
Hiss... So that's what happened?
Though Gu Yan did have such rumors about him before.
Leng Xing'an looked around, then said to Leng Ling'er with a helpless expression: "Niece, although Gu Yan likes your elder sister, we can't rely on the Gu Family behind him just because he likes Leng Qingqiu."
"That would make Gu Yan look down on us."
Leng Ling'er nodded, seeming to understand but not quite: "Fine, then this young lady will restrain herself from beating up these guys who look like they're asking for it."
To call so many people from big families a bunch of jerks asking for a beating....
Leng Xing'an felt they couldn't stay here any longer, so he quickly pulled Leng Ling'er towards the banquet hall.
At the entrance, a steady stream of luxury cars kept arriving.
From one of them, a metallic sedan, stepped out a smiling man.
He wore an exquisite black suit, exuding an aura of nobility and elegance.
Then, a lady in a gorgeous evening gown gracefully exited the car. Her long dress trailed on the ground, the skirt exuding a faint fragrance, complementing her dignified and elegant features.
The lady, with an expressionless face, took the arm of Bai Jun and entered the hall.
As this eye-catching couple entered the hotel lobby, the surrounding guests couldn't help but let out a soft gasp of admiration.
"Wow! Isn't that the young master of the Bai Family and their eldest daughter?!"
"Goodness, Bai Jun, the youngest major general in history, has also returned to attend the banquet?"
"As expected of the Yan Xing Group!"
Following them, countless luxury cars arrived.
The dignitaries and celebrities stepping out of these cars made the onlooking guests marvel.
As expected of the Yan Xing Group!
To be able to invite so many people to attend the banquet!
Shen Wan'er also arrived. She looked at the luxurious banquet hall before her, feeling a strong sense of longing.
When would her family be able to host a banquet here? When would they be able to invite so many guests?
She took a deep breath and said softly to Xiao Lin, who had been watching her: "Xiao Lin, remember not to speak carelessly once we're inside. You're my bodyguard now, just stay by my side."
"Don't do anything embarrassing."
Xiao Lin, wearing the suit Shen Wan'er had bought for him, was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
However, as they entered the hall, he seemed to hear people around them saying:
"Look, Shen Wan'er is here too!"
"Does that mean young master Gu will come as well?"
"Hehe, Shen Wan'er has a man with her. I bet young master Gu will cause trouble for him."
Young master Gu? Gu Yan? Why did it involve Gu Yan?
Xiao Lin wanted to ask Shen Wan'er walking in front of him what this meant, but after some thought, he kept quiet. After all, she had repeatedly emphasized before they came:
Don't speak carelessly.
As time passed, the stream of luxury cars arriving at the hotel entrance showed no signs of slowing.
Just as everyone was wondering if there were any more heavyweight figures to come.
At that moment, a pure black stretched limousine pulled up.
Then.
A stunning figure instantly caught everyone's attention.
They saw.
A woman in a pristine white gown being helped out of the car by someone who looked like a bodyguard.
She was like a white flower blooming in the night.
Her gown was flowing and form-fitting, accentuating her slender figure.
The white fabric looked exceptionally pure on her, like snow, exuding an air of nobility.
Her bright and deep eyes revealed confidence and elegance, like stars twinkling in the night sky. Her long eyelashes fluttered gently like wings, adding a touch of mystery to her eyes.
She smiled slightly at the guests, and in an instant, all the men's breathing noticeably quickened.
"Wow! Who is that?"
"Which big family's daughter has arrived?"
"My goodness, she's so beautiful. I think I'm in love."
Bai Lian smiled and waved, but in her heart, she was full of disdain.
Hmpf, what a bunch of foolish men. It seems tonight's mission will be very smooth.
"Bai Lian, mind your expression," the bodyguard-like person beside her whispered.
Bai Lian immediately suppressed her mocking expression and put on a smile again.
Hehe, if it weren't for the master's orders, who would want to team up with a block of wood like you who doesn't understand subtlety!
Throughout the hotel banquet.
Members of the Night Organization were mixed in, some disguised as waiters, others replacing bodyguards of various families.
What no one expected was.
In the presidential suite of the hotel.
Long Zaitian, the adopted son of Yan Huang, was looking with a grim expression at the uninvited guest who had barged into his room.
The intruder was sitting on the sofa with a grin, his foot stepping on Long Zaitian's partner - Tian Fang, the demonic cultivator who had killed many people.
"Well then, Mr. Long Zaitian, let's have a chat," Gu Yan said with a mischievous look at the discomfited Long Zaitian. "You wouldn't want everyone to know about the connection between you, the adopted son of the King of Hell Palace's master, and the demonic sect, would you?"

invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
