This is the Song for My Lover

At this moment.

In the presidential suite of the banquet hotel.

Yan Huang, the master of the King of Hell Palace, was listening to his subordinate's report.

"Master, Young Master Long Zaitian has reached some kind of understanding and deal with the young master of the Gu family."

"That martial arts practitioner from the evil path, Tian Fang, has been taken away by the Gu family's grandmaster."

The death warrior of the King of Hell Palace reported respectfully to Yan Huang.

Although most of their death warriors only had innate cultivation levels, they possessed extremely powerful methods to conceal their auras.

They were confident that even the grandmaster beside Gu Yan couldn't detect them.

"Hmm."

Yan Huang responded hoarsely.

His mind was filled with endless confusion.

Actually, long ago, he had discovered that his adopted son Long Zaitian was in cahoots with Tian Fang, but considering their past relationship.

He hadn't taken action to eliminate his own kin for the greater good, waiting to see if the other party could come to their senses in time.

Today's banquet was actually Long Zaitian's last chance. If by the time he went on stage to announce his successor, Long Zaitian was still obstinately colluding with the evil path.

Then, he would announce another adopted son as his successor and eliminate Long Zaitian after the banquet, handing over his and Tian Fang's corpses to the Martial Arts Department.

But now, with Gu Yan's interference, he wasn't sure how to judge the situation.

According to his subordinates' reports, it seemed Gu Yan had threatened Long Zaitian with Tian Fang, making him agree to some kind of cooperation with Gu Yan after becoming the master of the King of Hell Palace.

However, according to his men, Tian Fang's cultivation had been crippled by that grandmaster martial artist.

This... without cultivation, how could Tian Fang use martial arts techniques and secret manuals to help them?

For the moment, Yan Huang couldn't figure out what Gu Yan was trying to do.

This son of Gu Tianming, the Gu family's young master, seemed not as simple as rumors suggested.

"Sigh..."

Yan Huang let out a light sigh. Things had come to this point.

Did he need to consider so much anymore? He was severely injured and might pass away soon.

He now only wanted to quickly select someone who could serve as the master of the King of Hell Palace.

Long Zaitian was his most promising adopted son, with good cultivation and talent, but his temperament was too impetuous. If he could calm down and focus on cultivation, he would surely reach his level in the future.

The other adopted sons had good temperaments but their talents were ultimately too lacking.

Thinking of this, he started coughing again due to his internal illness.

Yan Huang tightly gripped the armchair, his eyes showing a conflicted expression.

He wasn't clear and didn't understand what Gu Yan wanted to do.

But there was one thing he did know, which was...

He trusted the Gu family.

Back then, the Gu family and the Bai family were the only two martial arts families that didn't participate in that conflict.

He believed that Gu Tianming's son wouldn't do anything to harm the world.

On the contrary, having Gu Yan restrain Long Zaitian might be a good thing.

"Never mind."

Yan Huang had figured it out. He had lived long enough and had made many mistakes in the past.

This future should be left to the young people.

He closed his eyes and pondered over all the matters regarding handing over the King of Hell Palace to Long Zaitian.

What he didn't notice was.

In a dark corner of the room.

A figure was staring intently at him.

[Found the master of the King of Hell Palace. He has 6 small fries around him, five with early-stage innate cultivation and one with peak innate cultivation.]

[The master's strength is negligible, even if he bursts out it would at most be early-stage peak grandmaster level.]

[What do you say, should we take action?]

He communicated with other members in his mind.

In just a breath's time.

Mei Xue's voice came through.

[Liao Ya, don't act rashly, wait for the master's orders.]

The person called Liao Ya heard this and suppressed the urge to kill everyone before him, replying.

[Understood.]

On Mei Xue's side.

She looked at Leng Qingqiu: "Master, Liao Ya has found the target."

Leng Qingqiu nodded slightly, but her gaze was directed towards the stage, frowning as she watched Gu Yan being pulled onto the stage by Leng Ling'er.

She had originally planned to take action immediately, but........

Leng Qingqiu said calmly: "Wait a bit, is there any item in the banquet program that invites audience interaction?"

Why would they call Gu Yan and Ling'er..... Could there be some plot?

Leng Qingqiu felt somewhat vigilant.

Mei Xue was stunned, then shook her head: "There isn't. This segment should be Lan Zizhen's solo performance time."

"Though sometimes stars do interact with the audience to heat up the atmosphere."

"Master, you don't need to be too..."

Before she could finish.

Leng Qingqiu interrupted: "No, the program is fixed..."

She looked towards Lan Zizhen's direction and firmly stated: "There's something suspicious about this."

Hearing this, Mei Xue's body trembled, and then her face showed a look of reverence.

So that's it. Because this was a banquet held by the King of Hell Palace, all these programs had fixed content and timing.

If someone here made strange moves, it meant there must be instructions from the King of Hell Palace behind it!

This might affect their plans!

To be able to consider all this just from such a detail.

As expected of the master!!

Thinking of this, Mei Xue immediately relayed the situation to everyone.

[Everyone, plans have changed. Except for Liao Ya, everyone pay attention to the situation on stage. The master's sister might be in danger!!]

[Received~]

[Yes.]

[Okay.]

[By the way, why is this wooden-headed Gu Yan together with the master's sister?]

[......Love.]

[Hey! That's enough.]

At once, all members of the Night Organization vigilantly watched the stage, keeping their eyes fixed on Lan Zizhen.

They were afraid he might show killing intent and harm Leng Ling'er.

On stage, Lan Zizhen felt a chill. He looked around strangely, wondering why he felt so cold despite the heating being on?

But never mind.

He looked at Gu Yan who had come on stage, feeling excited inside.

How could a playboy sing well? It was perfect that this yellow-haired girl had pulled him up to make a fool of himself!

Thinking this, he smiled at Gu Yan who had walked onto the stage and said, "Hello, how about we take turns singing lines?"

"Let's choose a song you're familiar with, okay?"

Hearing this, Gu Yan looked at him once, then shook his head: "No need."

With that.

Under the other's somewhat stiff gaze, Gu Yan walked to the international accompaniment band in the banquet hall, conversed with them for a while.

Then he walked to the invited international pianist, exchanged a few words, after which the pianist stood up and moved aside, replaced by Gu Yan sitting there.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

They all started whispering among themselves.

"What's going on?"

"What is Young Master Gu going to do?"

"Is he going to sing by himself? No way, without Lan Zizhen, how will Young Master Gu sing along?"

"And why did he sit at the piano? Does he even know how to play the piano?"

Lan Zizhen was also angered by Gu Yan's almost dismissive attitude, tightly gripping the microphone in his hand.

Damn guy! I'll wait to see you make a fool of yourself!

Leng Ling'er was somewhat confused, then seemed to realize something, and went back to sit in the banquet chair where Gu Yan had been sitting initially.

Yan Qingqing was also bewildered by this scene. She glanced at Leng Ling'er and said, "Hey, can Gu Yan even sing?"

Hearing this, Leng Ling'er proudly lifted her head: "He sings incredibly well!"

"Really?"

Yan Qingqing didn't believe it. She had heard such talk many times before and wouldn't believe a rich second generation could sing that well.

Everyone else was thinking more or less the same thing, after all, there had never been any rumors about Gu Yan being able to sing before.

Shen Wan'er didn't believe it either, after all, Gu Yan had never sung in front of her. If he really sang well, he probably would have done so already.

However, it wouldn't hurt to listen, thinking this, everyone looked towards Gu Yan on stage.

On Gu Yan's side.

After testing the sound, he smiled slightly and spoke to the audience below, his slightly deep voice reaching everyone's ears: "Next, I'm going to sing an original song of mine."

"It's also a song dedicated to my love who isn't present here today."

"It's called."

"Light Years Away."

As his words fell.

Gu Yan began playing the piano keys, and the accompaniment band started playing.

A melody that no one had ever heard before resonated throughout the banquet hall.

Everyone was caught by surprise.

"An original song?? Light Years Away?"

"Young Master Gu actually composes and writes lyrics??"

"No way, did he buy it from someone?"

"Wait, the intro actually sounds pretty good!"

Everyone whispered to each other with surprised expressions.

Leng Ling'er was excited. Hey! A new song?!

She quickly turned to the equally stunned Yan Qingqing beside her: "Hey, do you have your phone? Let me borrow it!"

Yan Qingqing: "??"

On the other side, Leng Qingqiu looked puzzledly towards Gu Yan's direction, wondering what was going on.

What was he saying?

The lover who didn't come to the scene...!!

Leng Qingqiu's heart skipped a beat, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural under her gauze hat. Is he... talking about me?

The next second, when the prelude reached a certain note.

Gu Yan began to sing.

His godlike voice, accompanied by the divine melody, reached everyone's ears.

"Feeling your fingertips frozen at my hair."

"How to freeze time in an instant."

"Remember my determined eyes gazing at you."

"Perhaps there is no tomorrow."

"..."

With just a few lyrics, the previously bustling banquet hall.

In an instant, fell completely silent.

They all stared at Gu Yan on stage with incredulous expressions.

What... what an incredibly beautiful song?!

Leng Qingqiu was stunned, unconsciously clutching her chest. It was just a few lines.

But why, why did it make her heart feel so chaotic?

She recalled Gu Yan saying this song was dedicated to her.

Leng Qingqiu bit her lip lightly, gazing at Gu Yan on stage. Though she couldn't see him, the life essence within him.

At this moment... appeared so dazzling in her eyes, so special that one glance was enough to make it unforgettable.

This troublemaker... even in public, he had to make her heart so restless?
