The End of the Banquet

The demeanor of Zhongren during his speech was exceedingly indifferent towards everyone else but remarkably deferential towards Gu Lan!

This reverence emanated from the depths of his soul, reserved only for those who could completely submit to him.

And in his words, there was no mistake.

Though heroes were scarce in the world, within the courtyard of the Gu family, there were several individuals whose talents rivaled those of this young master!

Zhongren resumed his seat beside Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan, indulging in food and drink as if no one else were present.

At that moment, the gazes of the crowd weren't just assessing Zhongren but also fixated on Gu Lan.

Shock, suspicion, reverence...

Yet, Gu Lan remained nonchalant, as though nothing phased him.

He simply savored the wine and food Mu Yuyan served him, disregarding the scrutiny of the onlookers.

The Empress Dowager also noticed Zhongren, sensing the overwhelming aura emanating from the young man.
