Seeing Gu Yan's interest, Bai Jun's eyes lit up with joy as he smiled and said, "Yes, I'm so glad you understand. So, will you join us?"
He looked at Gu Yan expectantly.
The latter fell into deep thought.
The Martial Arts Department... there were many factions within it, and it played a crucial role in the original story. More importantly, there was also a certain special existence inside.
After some consideration, Gu Yan gave an ambiguous answer: "I haven't decided yet, because as you can see."
Gu Yan smiled at a certain young person who had been looking this way: "I'm about to get married, so family comes first."
Marriage....
Bai Jun followed Gu Yan's gaze and suddenly understood.
The young lady of the Leng Family... Leng Qingqiu.
He never expected these two families could come together.
Bai Jun smiled understandingly: "I understand. You're welcome to join us anytime. Just call me when you're interested."
He took out his phone, opened WeChat, and smiled at Gu Yan: "Let's add each other as friends to stay in touch."
"Sure."
Back to Leng Ling'er's side.
"Brother-in-law! What did you say? Are you really going to join the army?"
Leng Ling'er looked at Gu Yan nervously, afraid he might nod.
Gu Yan shook his head and teased, "No, how could I leave when I have such a beautiful sister like yours? I couldn't bear to go."
Seeing Gu Yan praise her sister, Leng Ling'er felt as if he was praising her too. She giggled happily, feeling relieved: "Hehe! I knew you wouldn't leave us!"
Bai Jun watched this scene with a knowing smile. Family, huh...
He looked at Bai Qionglan beside him, whose eyes were filled with envy, and sighed inwardly.
Since their mother's death, not only their father but also his little sister had changed significantly.
But precisely because of this, Bai Jun clenched his fists.
I will definitely protect my family, and then... find that Demonic Martial Artist who killed my mother!
Just then.
The banquet lights began to change and flicker, and the entire hall grew dimmer.
As the music changed, spotlights converged on the stage.
An elegant woman walked up with a microphone and tested the sound.
The crowd realized what was happening.
"Is it starting?"
"Is Chairman Yan about to make his appearance?"
"I'm so excited, the last time I saw Chairman Yan was last time."
"They say he's going to announce the next heir, wonder if it's true."
Gu Yan also looked over, his eyes showing a mysterious expression.
According to his original plan, Yan Huang should die, then Long Zaitian would inherit the King of Hell Palace, and he would control it.
But now, things seemed different, and the development appeared to be following the original story.
He just wondered how Qingqiu would handle it.
Oh right, speaking of Qingqiu, would she be at this banquet too?
When Gu Yan thought about this, an inexplicable joy welled up in his heart. For some reason, just thinking about Qingqiu possibly being here made him very happy.
So he looked around, hoping to find her.
At this time, the banquet host began her opening speech.
"Good evening, distinguished guests."
"I am the host for tonight's banquet. You can call me Hong."
"First, I'd like to thank all the business leaders for taking time from their busy schedules to attend..."
Leng Ling'er sat on the banquet chair with Bai Qionglan holding her arm, and both started feeling bored as they listened.
The former complained, "This woman's speech template is exactly the same as our principal's opening ceremony."
"Did they hire the same person to write their scripts?"
Bai Qionglan smiled at this: "Maybe they used the same writing studio?"
Bai Jun listened silently. The King of Hell Palace is changing its master...
Could that man known as the "King of Hell" finally not resist the erosion of time?
Not necessarily... rumors say he was injured in that battle back then...
Bai Jun glanced at Leng Ling'er with sympathy in his eyes.
Poor child, experiencing that incident from such a young age. He wondered if Gu Yan knew about it.
Though he remembered that the Gu family hadn't participated in that clan-exterminating battle against the demonic path back then.
Thinking of Gu Yan, Bai Jun looked around.
He was stunned to find that the spot where Gu Yan had been standing was now empty.
Where did Gu Yan go??
......
.......
Meanwhile, with Leng Qingqiu, Mei Xue watched the host's entrance and the dimming lights.
She understood that this darkness was their time to act.
So she said to Leng Qingqiu beside her: "Master, we can begin our operation now."
"There's still some time before the King of Hell Palace's master takes the stage. During this period when everyone is watching the speeches and performances, it's our best window of opportunity."
Hearing this.
Leng Qingqiu nodded silently. This banquet was divided into two parts.
The first half would feature performances by actors and celebrities, continuing until the latter half.
The master of the King of Hell Palace would only appear on stage then.
Their task was to control him before Yan Huang took the stage, turning him into a puppet of the Night Organization.
The method was simple.
Leng Qingqiu opened her eyes, the runes slowly rotating within them, her dark green irises appearing in the darkness.
Using the evil eye's ability to absorb others' life essence and feed it back to the master of the King of Hell Palace.
This feedback would not only extend his life but also achieve the goal of controlling him.
This was one of the abilities of these eyes.
It was an ability of equivalent exchange, and moreover... it was compulsory.
"Prepare to move."
Leng Qingqiu calmly gave the order.
She showed complete confidence in this operation.
In the darkness, Mei Xue's abilities were significantly enhanced.
Her power could conceal all their members' presence. Once they began moving,
Everyone would become one with the darkness, and no one could detect them.
Even their current location was hidden through special means.
No one would discover them, or even approach this place.
Mei Xue nodded.
Just as she was about to relay her master's orders.
Suddenly.
"Hello, haven't we met somewhere before?"
A voice reached their ears.
Leng Qingqiu was startled, and Mei Xue was even more shocked.
They both turned to look.
There stood.
Gu Yan, who had walked over and was looking at Leng Qingqiu with curiosity.
!!
Wait! You can see us??
Mei Xue was shocked.
Leng Qingqiu was shocked too.
For a moment.
All three fell silent.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
ng, and even slandered me for harassing the waitress. You all need to stand up for me, your boss! @everyone!" Special Forces King Lin Chen: "No useless messages in the main group! Message retracted!" An Yi: "Damn it! Poker face, give me the group admin rights!" Martial Arts Emperor Fang Jueming: "Master, what happened? I'm coming to save you!" Disowned Young Master Bai Xiu: "I finally got three months of sleep, and you woke me up with that @. What did you retract?" Reincarnator Chen Bing: "Can't even handle such a trivial matter? Boss, don't blame me for looking down on you (pushes glasses up)." Reborn Shangguan Qianqian: "Oh, harassing a waitress? Does Mu Xuan know about this?" An Yi: "No, it's not like that, Qianqian, let me explain!" Poison Doctor Zhang Fan: "Ahem, need some sterilization drugs? I just learned a new recipe, works pretty well." Sword Saint Xiao Ye: "A sword will do the trick, guaranteed not a drop of blood." Fire God Ye Tian: "Let's think about how to save An Yi. Is he in danger? I'm not too familiar with the rules of your world." Son-in-law Dragon Long Aoyun: "Already gathered 100,000 troops, on the way." An Yi: "..." An Yi: "@Son-in-law Dragon Long Aoyun, bro, no, don't be impulsive, just transfer some money!"
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
