Chapter 10: A Daring Youth Enters the Scene

The sound of the door being pushed open was loud and rough.

Everyone in the elegant room furrowed their brows.

This was the Juxianlou, the number one restaurant in Guangling City!

Who had the audacity to barge in without any prior notice?

Utterly presumptuous!

Subconsciously, everyone's gaze turned towards the intruder.

When they saw the person's appearance, including Wen Lingxue and Nie Feng, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.

Why did this guy show up?

"I heard that Lingxue is celebrating her birthday here, so I decided to come uninvited. Hahaha, did I startle you all?"

The newcomer was a young man, dressed in luxurious robes, with long disheveled hair. He had a handsome face and exuded a strong smell of alcohol. His smile was arrogant and unrestrained.

Huang Qianjun!

He was the legitimate descendant of the Huang family, one of the three major clans in Guangling City. His father was the current clan leader, Huang Yunchong.

Huang Qianjun had an arrogant and unruly temperament. He was fierce, belligerent, and despite being only seventeen years old, he had already committed numerous notorious acts, earning the resentment of many.

However, with his father's protection, he still lived a comfortable life, which only further inflated his arrogance.

When they recognized Huang Qianjun, all the girls in the elegant room, including Wen Lingxue and Nie Feng, fell silent, their pretty faces showing a hint of panic.

They had long heard of this dandy's infamous reputation.

Even Wen Lingxue and Nie Feng furrowed their brows, their expressions turning serious.

In the eyes of these young scions from the major clans, Huang Qianjun was an arrogant and tyrannical villain. No one wanted to associate with him, fearing to be caught up in his trouble.

The atmosphere in the elegant room suddenly became extremely oppressive.

Only Su Yi remained calm. He didn't recognize Huang Qianjun, but he could tell that Wen Lingxue and the others were tense and slightly flustered in their demeanor.

It was obvious that they harbored deep fear and caution towards this arrogantly intrusive young man.

"I don't see how my birthday has anything to do with you. You better leave right now!" Wen Lingxue took a deep breath and spoke coldly, her pretty face as frosty as ever, making no effort to hide her repulsion and disgust.

However, Huang Qianjun seemed completely unfazed. He shamelessly looked Wen Lingxue up and down with his eyes and chuckled, saying, "Tsk, no wonder you're Wen Lingzhao's sister. Truly beautiful. Only a beauty like this is worthy of me."

"You..." Wen Lingxue's face flushed, her eyes filled with anger.

"Look at her, everyone. A beauty is still beautiful even when she's angry. Don't you think my grandfather would be pleased if I were to marry her?"

Huang Qianjun laughed brazenly.

Behind him, a group of guards followed, their expressions lewd as they chuckled along.

The girls present all showed fear on their faces, instinctively looking towards Nie Feng, hoping that the legitimate son of the commander of the City Lord's Mansion Guards would intervene.

Nie Feng took a deep breath, knowing that he had to step forward at this moment. Otherwise, he would be unable to hold his head up high in the future.

"Huang Shao, this is the Juxianlou. I hope you can show some respect. It's not good for anyone to ruin the harmony," Nie Feng said, pretending to remain composed.

Huang Qianjun's previously smiling face suddenly darkened, and his eyes burst with a fierce and violent aura. "Who do you think you are to dare lecture me?"

Nie Feng's face immediately turned ugly, alternating between pale and blue.

This scene made Su Yi realize that even Nie Feng, despite being a member of the City Lord's Mansion and commanding the Forbidden Guard, held great fear and apprehension towards this arrogant youth.

"Young master, this is Nie Beitiger, the son of the commander of the City Lord's Mansion Guards. The clan leader and Nie Beitiger's father have some acquaintanceship," one of the guards reminded with a grin. "But whatever decision you make regarding this matter is entirely up to you."

Huang Qianjun smirked and said, "So, you're Nie Feng. I'll give you a chance. Disappear from my sight right now. Otherwise, I won't mind beating you up and throwing you onto the street outside Juxianlou like a dead dog."

He had a wide smile on his face, but his words were filled with a chilling menace, dripping with hostility. "By then, you'll probably become the laughingstock of the entire Guangling City, utterly humiliated and unable to hold your head up high!"

Nie Feng's body stiffened, his hands clenched tightly, knuckles turning white, veins bulging on the back of his hand. An indescribable sense of shame and anger filled his heart.

Seeing this scene, the girls in the room turned pale, growing increasingly panicked and helpless. In terms of status and position, no one could surpass Nie Feng. If even he couldn't handle the situation, how could they not feel anxious?

Just then, Wen Lingxue spoke coldly, "Huang Qianjun, what do you really want?"

Huang Qianjun clapped his hands and laughed heartily, his eyes burning as he stared at Wen Lingxue, saying, "That's a great question! Let me put it this way, in a while, I will have my grandfather propose to your Wen family. After that, we'll be one big happy family!"

The guards beside him joined in the commotion:

"Young master has good taste!"

"Everyone, take a good look. That girl will be our future lady!"

"We should congratulate the young master in advance, haha."

Wen Lingxue felt both ashamed and furious, her almond-shaped eyes widened as she gritted her teeth and said, "Ridiculous! I, Wen Lingxue, would rather die than marry a scoundrel like you!"
