Watching the others disperse.
Nicholas is the most handso approached Liu Zixuan and unabashedly gave him a thumbs up: "I've never admired anyone before, you're truly the first!"
Liu Zixuan sneered, "I think you'd better stay away from . Now they all see as a thorn in their side. If you hang around this closely, you might get into trouble too!"
"It's rare to et soone of like mind, and I, Nicholas, am definitely not soone who would abandon a brother. Moreover, you just saved once. Do what you want boldly; I'll help you!"
After saying this, Nicholas is the most handso headed towards the main hall, but as he passed by Liu Qianyun, he gave him the middle finger!
Liu Zixuan shook his head helplessly at this act, "Treating , Liu Zixuan, as a brother ans even if you don't help, those words earlier are enough!"
Liu Qianyun looked at Liu Zixuan, "Do you know why I kept you?"
"Just say what you want to say!" Liu Zixuan said with a cigarette in his mouth, laughing.
"The reason I kept you is straightforward." Liu Qianyun walked up to Liu Zixuan and said word by word, "You absolutely cannot leave the Willow Association alive!"
With that, Liu Qianyun strode towards the main hall.
Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes slightly, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth, "If you want my life, you'd better weigh whether your Willow Association has that capability!"
...
Inside the main hall of Willow Manor.
At this mont, the sides of the hall were filled with guests, all of whom were high-ranking figures from major families and powers both locally and abroad, mostly Patriarchs or Elder Level individuals.
They looked at the few young people standing in the middle of the corridor, all showing a touch of admiration.
Talents erge in every generation. Seeing the outstanding individuals among the younger generation, they were all quite gratified.
At the innermost part of the hall, three people were standing and one was seated.
Sitting on the main seat was Liu Qianfeng, who had once t Liu Zixuan in Ghost Wood City, and was also Liu Ruyan's biological father!
Standing to his left was Liu Qianyun.
To his right were Liu Ruyan and Ying Qingning.
At this mont, the hands of Ying Qingning and Liu Ruyan were tightly held together.
Ying Qingning looked at the frowning Liu Ruyan and comforted her, "Sister Ruyan, I just called soone to ask. Liu Zixuan is in the top five of the Martial Arts Competition, he will definitely co."
"But everyone else has entered, why is he the only one missing?"
For Liu Ruyan, who was deeply in love with Liu Zixuan, a day without seeing him might not be much, but nearly three months without eting him made her unable to sleep peacefully or enjoy delicious food.
She was anxiously waiting for today to arrive, yet she also hoped it would never co.
She felt conflicted inside, expecting because she wanted to see Liu Zixuan as soon as possible, but also not wanting it due to worrying that Liu Zixuan would be bullied by the Willow Association and others here.
Knowing he had arrived, knowing he'd made it to the top five in the Martial Arts Competition, yet not seeing him made Liu Ruyan restless, unable to calm down.
Ying Qingning sighed, "I heard that just during the announcent, Second Uncle stopped him. Maybe he said sothing to him."
Liu Ruyan frowned deeply, glancing angrily towards Liu Qianyun, "If Zixuan is hard in any way, I will never forgive them!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Qingning's expression beca complicated. She greatly envied Liu Ruyan for having a hero like Liu Zixuan, fearless of any hardships or enemies, coming to take her away. She also envied Liu Ruyan for daring to love and hate, while she could only silently accept everything she didn't want to accept!
After a while, soone asked, "Two Willow Association Patriarchs, everyone is here now, why hasn't it started?"
"Wait a mont, there's one more person!" Liu Qianyun said with a smile.
"Could it be he's too scared to co!"
"Yeah, what makes him so important that everyone has to wait for him!"
The crowd started grumbling impatiently.
"One after another, they all want my life, so can't I make a grand entrance?"
Just then, a figure gradually appeared at the doorway.
Through the sunlight, that face slowly beca clear, with a distinct and confident smile hanging on it. Hands in pockets, quite dashing!
"He's here!" The anxiety on Liu Ruyan's face turned into joy. Ignoring the gazes of others, she rushed down from the platform and jumped directly into Liu Zixuan's arms.
Liu Zixuan, looking at the familiar beauty in his arms, slling that familiar scent, had a hint of deep affection in his eyes. Gently stroking Liu Ruyan's cheek, he took a good look and said, "You've gotten a bit thinner than three months ago."
"No, I haven't." Liu Ruyan snuggled against Liu Zixuan's chest, murmuring, "I've always maintained a normal figure."
"Why? Afraid I'd not want you if you got fat?" Liu Zixuan teased with a smile.
"You dare!" Liu Ruyan pouted angrily, but instantly turned gentle, "Zixuan, I've missed you so much all this ti!"
"I've missed you too!" Liu Zixuan wrapped an arm around Liu Ruyan's waist, gently flicking her nose affectionately.
Liu Ruyan giggled, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Liu Zixuan's forehead.
Their every movent and intimate gestures changed the expressions of the people around. The big figures like the Patriarchs and elders were slightly surprised, while the young talents all looked furious.
The goddess of their dreams, the princess they hoped to marry, had voluntarily fallen into Liu Zixuan's arms and even took the initiative to kiss him.
Each of them clenched their fists, wishing they could rush up and beat Liu Zixuan right then, wishing to tear him to pieces. Yet before Liu Ruyan, they all maintained a composed deanor, forcing a smile.
Liu Zixuan glanced at those around them, smiling, "Just with those two actions of yours earlier, I can sense the whole hall is filled with a gunpowder sll."
Liu Ruyan paused, then took a step back, "Did I increase their hatred towards you!"
Liu Zixuan smirked slightly, stepping forward directly to pull Liu Ruyan into his arms again, "You're my woman, and their looks at are rely jealousy of my masculine charm!"
"Ahem!" At this mont, Liu Qianyun cleared his throat, indicating that Liu Ruyan should hurry back.
Liu Ruyan was a bit reluctant; she just wanted to hold onto Liu Zixuan until the end of ti.
Liu Zixuan whispered, "Go back first, watch your husband openly bring you ho!"
"Mm!" Liu Ruyan obediently nodded, helping Liu Zixuan adjust his collar, "Be careful!"
