Gu Jian rubbed one of his temples with his left hand. His temples were throbbing, and he had a bad feeling.

‘Then what’s a substitute?” Madam Wang asked again in a low voice.

There was something wrong with the word “substitute”. Moreover, from Gu Yanfei’s words, this matter seemed to involve the art of “borrowing luck’

“1f you ask me, who should I ask?” Gu Jian became even more impatient and frowned.

The couple looked at each other face to face. At this moment, when they recalled the scenes in the ancestral hall, they felt a little terrified.

‘Creak!”

A cold wind suddenly blew open the window, startling Madam Wang so much that she almost jumped up.

The wind was especially strong today, making the trees in the courtyard look like they were about to break in half. It also made Butler Zhou’s wife’s face turn red from the cold.

Despite not receiving an answer, she didn’t dare to ask anyone to rush Madam Gu again. She was so anxious that she paced around outside.

‘Aunt Zhou.” An old woman ran over, panting. She was out of breath as she ran and reported intermittently, “Second Young Master Murong has already…

broken into the mansion…”

Before the old woman could finish speaking, the maidservant in the main courtyard arrived and relayed Madam Wang’s words truthfully.

These words were like adding fuel to the fire. The anger in Zhou Li’s heart surged to the top of her head. She said to the old woman with some anger, “You heard it too. If there’s anything, report it to the Eldest Lady at Jiahui Courtyard.”

The old woman had a headache and was at a loss. She could only turn around and run to Jiahui Courtyard again.

Not only was this old woman at a loss, but the other servants were also at a loss.

Murong Yong had already broken through the outer door and entered the inner door. His expression was solemn and his gaze was sharp.

After taking off his groom’s hat and the big red hydrangeas on his red groom’s robe, he felt much lighter.

It was also much more convenient to beat people up.

He suddenly kicked a guard with his right leg and punched a servant in the abdomen with lightning speed. The servant staggered back a few steps, and even the other servant behind him fell to the ground. The two of them fell into a heap.

Then, without looking, he dislocated the other guard’s right arm. His scream shot into the sky like a pig being slaughtered.

Murong Yong’s every move was very rough. There was no hesitation, and there was a hint of catharsis and irresistible force.

Murong Yong had never been treated so coldly in his life.

In his opinion, if the Gu family was unwilling to rush joy, they could have just said it. There was no need to embarrass the Murong family like this.

He had to get the Gu family to give the Murong family an explanation today.

Murong Yong led his men and charged forward aggressively. Like an unsheathed sword, he stabbed forward with a murderous aura.

He was a martial artist who had killed countless enemies and exterminated bandits. Be it his skills or his aura, he was far from what the guards of the Gu family could compare to. It was impossible for them to stop him.

The guards wailed, fell to the ground, and crashed against each other. Some of the surrounding flowers and trees were damaged like a typhoon had gone past them.

Wherever Murong Yong passed, it was a mess.

Shangqing Spiritual Master silently followed behind Murong Yong, maintaining a distance of five or six steps.

After circling around a tall stone wall, Murong Yong saw a blue figure standing in the cold winter in front of the main hall.

The winter sun cast a golden halo over the slender young man.

The young man stood with his hands behind his back. His expression was cold, and there was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows. He called Murong Yong by his name angrily, “Murong Yong, we’ve already said that our family doesn’t agree to this marriage. Don’t pester us.”

‘Now, get out!”

Gu Yuan said the last five words firmly. His entire body was like a red tassel spear that was overflowing with cold air and flashed with killing intent.

The cold wind blew Gu Yuan’s robe, making it flutter.

Gu Yuan’s appearance made the guards of the Marquis Mansion feel as if they had been pardoned. They looked at him as if they were looking up to their savior. Their hearts, which had been shattered by Murong Yong, finally regained their backbone.

Everyone in the Marquis Mansion was overjoyed, but Murong Yong was completely angered by Gu Yuan’s disrespectful attitude.

‘IIS the Gu family trying to become enemies?” Murong Yong’s eyes burned with flames as he questioned coldly. His voice was even colder than the biting cold wind.

‘Our families have long had a marriage contract, and your Gu family has also accepted the betrothal gifts. Are you trying to cheat us out of our marriage?!”

His every word was powerful and not blown away by the cold wind at all. It was clearly transmitted to Gu Yuan’s ears.

Murong Yong felt that his attitude was already very good. The Gu family had really gone too far. They were playing with their Murong family like monkeys! Gu Yuan calmly welcomed Murong Yong with a disdainful sneer on his lips.

Clap! Clap!

Gu Yuan casually raised his hand and clapped twice.

Wu Tong immediately understood and ordered a few rough servants to carry over heavy red-painted wooden boxes and throw them on the empty space between Gu Yuan and Murong Yong.

The betrothal gift boxes hit the limestone floor with a bang.

Each bang was louder than the last. Some of the boxes even fell sideways. Even the lids were thrown open, and the jewelry and decorative utensils inside fell out.

This collision was no different from slapping Murong Yong’s face several times in a row.

Murong Yong’s expression darkened slightly. His eyes were cold as he flew into a rage out of humiliation.

The cold wind was like a knife, piercing through the bones.

Everyone’s sleeves and robes fluttered with the cold wind. Even their breaths were frozen.

Murong Yong kept a straight face, but Gu Yuan was still sneering casually. He moved his knuckles casually, making cracking sounds.

‘Why? Do you want to fight? Come on.” Gu Yuan hooked his index finger at Murong Yong provocatively. “Who’s afraid of who!”

“1f you want to fight, fight early. Otherwise, your family will have to observe mourning and won’t be able to fight for the next three years.”

Gu Yuan’s words were cold and he didn’t hide the provocation in his words..
