The gatekeeper's words were not untrue. Jiang Wu was just an ordinary person, completely unqualified to enter the gathering. No matter how hard Jiang Wu tried, there was no way he could mingle with the people inside.

You cannot discuss ice with a summer insect; the mysteries of cultivation are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

At this moment, Jiang Wu gritted his teeth and humbly bowed to the gatekeeper, pleading, "Mr. Huang, I beg you, this is my only hope of finding my brother."

The gatekeeper shook his head repeatedly, remaining unmoved as he sat there.

Xu Fan observed everything, but instead of hurrying to speak up for Jiang Wu, he unconsciously moved a step closer to Gongsun Qin.

From Jiang Wu's words, it was clear that the old man wasn't a bad person. On the contrary, it was only due to the old man's leniency in previous years that Jiang Wu had the fortune to enter the gathering. Now, his blocking of Jiang Wu was merely due to adherence to rules.

What caused Xu Fan some unease was the old man's surname.

Huang.

At this point, Xu Fan discreetly exchanged a glance with Gongsun Qin, holding her hand, and stepped forward to ask the old man, "Mr. Huang, we are from the Ye Family of Hong Kong Island. It's our first time at this gathering, thanks to Mr. Jiang's introduction!"

"Oh? The Ye Family from Hong Kong Island?" The gatekeeper finally showed a slight flicker of interest, turning his face to look at Xu Fan.

"Indeed, indeed, the young show great potential. It seems they're already a master of the Great Achievement of the Innate Realm, formidable youngsters from the Ye Family!"

Although he spoke this way, the gatekeeper's face showed no sign of flattery, only a polite compliment. The cultivation and heritage of members of great families were unmistakable.

Xu Fan maintained an expression of neither servility nor arrogance as he smiled at the gatekeeper and said, "Mr. Huang, you overpraise us. It's our first time attending the gathering, and we're not familiar with many rules. We fear we might cause trouble. Could Mr. Jiang accompany us inside?"

Jiang Wu's eyes brightened at this moment, and he enthusiastically thumped his chest, "Mr. Huang, with me watching over Brother Ye, there won't be any trouble."

The gatekeeper pondered for a moment before finally sighing, "Alright, I'll grant the Ye Family this favor. Jiang, this is the last time you're allowed in."

After expressing their gratitude, they stepped into the gathering.

Xu Fan kept a composed expression on his face, yet his heart was sinking.

Was even a mere gatekeeper of the Huang Family a master of the Entering Dao Realm?

They were walking when suddenly the roar of an engine sounded from behind, followed by an extremely arrogant shout, "Make way! The young master is here!"

Xu Fan and the others turned to look in the direction of the shout. Amidst the fierce wind, a small helicopter was slowly descending at the entrance of the gathering. The cabin door opened, and several black-suited bodyguards hopped down, unfolding the helicopter steps.

A young man, wearing sunglasses, a floral shirt, and white pants, leisurely stepped down from the helicopter.

The gatekeeper no longer had his lazy demeanor. He walked forward and respectfully bowed to the young man, "Young Master Siyuan, what brings you here?"

The young man adjusted his sunglasses and, while heading towards the gathering, casually replied, "Why can't I come? My wedding is in a few days. I'm here to pick up some nice things at the gathering."

As he spoke, the young man, surrounded like a star encircled by the moon, reached Xu Fan and the others, "Get out of the way! Where did these country bumpkins come from?"

Jiang Wu quickly stepped back, but seeing Xu Fan standing firm, he became anxious and kept signaling to Xu Fan. However, Xu Fan remained rooted, fists clenched, unwavering.

The Huang Family, a wedding, the identity of this young man was obvious!

Xia Xiaodie's fiancé, Huang Siyuan!

At this moment, Xu Fan had a strong urge to strike and either kill Huang Siyuan or capture him as a hostage to threaten the Huang Family.

But Xu Fan knew very well that doing so would absolutely not save Xia Xiaodie! Moreover, he and Gongsun Qin would be caught up in it!

Compared to Huang Siyuan, the Huang Family, such a Hidden World Family, valued their own reputation much more and would certainly not compromise with him!

At this moment, caught in inner turmoil, Xu Fan's face was expressionless, appearing calm, though the veins on his clenched fists were protruding.

Fortunately, Xu Fan's mask completely concealed his emotional fluctuations.

"What's wrong? Kid! You don't accept it, do you? You seem brave! I, Huang Siyuan, like people with guts!"

At this moment, Huang Siyuan stood in front of Xu Fan like he had found prey; his face was filled with amusement.

This was the territory of the Huang Family, where he, Huang Siyuan, was king!

Xu Fan remained silent, his gaze towards Huang Siyuan filled with calm, yet his body was trembling slightly.

Xu Fan was desperately trying to suppress the ocean-like killing intent surging within him!

"Who are you? Why should we make way for you?"

At this moment, Gongsun Qin, unaware of Huang Siyuan's identity, was irked by his shouted orders and, like an angry cat, responded to Huang Siyuan's rudeness.

"Wow! What a fiery girl! I like it!"

Seeing Gongsun Qin, even though she wore a mask, Huang Siyuan's eyes lit up. He tossed aside his sunglasses, reaching out to touch Gongsun Qin's face.

Gongsun Qin's gaze sharpened, and Xu Fan's eyes also glinted coldly.

Just then, Jiang Wu finally stepped forward, nodding and bowing to Huang Siyuan, "Young Master Huang, these two are my friends, just arrived from Hong Kong Island. It's their first time here and they haven't seen Young Master Huang before. If they've offended Young Master Huang, I apologize on their behalf."

Smack!

Huang Siyuan slapped Jiang Wu across the face, "And what are you supposed to be? You think you have the right to speak to me?"

Jiang Wu held his face, showing no sign of anger, only an endless fear in his eyes.

Huang Siyuan then kicked Jiang Wu, sending him flying, and turned to Xu Fan, "Kid, is this girl yours? Spend a night with me, and I'll overlook how you offended me. How about it?"

Xu Fan's face broke into a bright smile, "Young Master Huang?"

"Yes!" Huang Siyuan also smiled brilliantly at this moment. However, Xu Fan's next words instantly froze Huang Siyuan's bright smile.

"Without your family's background, by what right do you speak to me?"

Huang Siyuan's bright smile quickly turned sour, and his gaze towards Xu Fan resembled that of looking at a dead man.

Many young masters of great families liked to show off, not simply for fun, but more importantly, to maintain their deep-seated pride.

They knew better than anyone that once their family background was stripped away, they were nothing!

Now, being prodded at his sore spot, Huang Siyuan's youthful face became so somber it seemed it might start dripping water.
