"Brother——"

They were standing in the courtyard when two more people approached, a young man and woman.

Chu Hao turned to look, and upon seeing their faces, a wry smile crept onto his lips.

The young man was none other than Mo Xuannan from the Eastern Sect Earthly Institute.

Speaking of which, his luck was really something. Because Chi Dao suddenly disappeared after being late, the Eastern Sect Earthly Institute was short one contestant, so he promptly stepped in. However, that wasn't why Chu Hao was smiling.

——The woman beside him was actually Lin Yuqi!

After leaving the Chu Family, in just two months, she had successively gotten involved with Ma Long, Chi Dao, and now Mo Xuannan. This speed of changing men was even faster than flipping through a book or changing clothes!

The phrase "fickle and unfaithful" was inevitable for her! Moreover, she might even be labeled with nicknames like "broom star" or "husband curse"!

Isn't it so?

She'd just cozied up to Ma Long, and Ma Long died! Then she moved onto Chi Dao, and Chi Dao disappeared! Mo Xuannan's fate was worrisome, too!

Lin Yuqi also saw Chu Hao, and her pretty face immediately turned ugly, astonished to see Chu Hao here.

This was the Fu Family patriarch's seventieth birthday after all, where everyone present was distinguished! If Chu Tianyun were still alive, Chu Hao's attendance wouldn't be surprising, but now, with only the Fortune Full Building, how could he possibly catch the Fu Family's eye?

Money is important, but in the eyes of the noble families, status is even more critical!

The Mo Family received an invitation because they had an expert from the Vajra Realm!

What about Chu Hao?

"Mo Guyun, stop making a scene here!" Zheng Siqi said coldly, as she was the young lady of the Zheng Family! The Zheng, Tang, and Fu families were the most historically distinguished nobility in Eastern Cloud City, and Mo Guyun's persistent entanglement with her at the institute was tolerable, but this place was the Fu residence!

The disgrace might be Mo Guyun's, but she was equally losing face!

Mo Guyun swept a fierce glance over Chu Hao and then abruptly turned to leave.

Great, he'd inexplicably made an enemy! And this kind of romantic grudge was even harder to resolve!

Chu Hao shook his head and chuckled to himself, deciding to let it be. Even Chi Dao did not intimidate him, so what was Mo Guyun to him? He now possessed the power of the Middle Mahayana realm first tier, and with the use of the Treasure Artifact, he could display the combat power of the Great Mahayana realm, sufficient to confront Mo Guyun!

"Hey, you guys are late!" Fu Xue came out to greet them, and because it was a special day, the usually ferocious "Female Tyrannosaurus" had exceptionally donned a long dress, looking quite like a lady from an honorable family at first glance.

"Ran into an annoying fly!" Zheng Siqi said with disgust.

"Hahahaha, was it Mo Guyun again pestering you?" Fu Xue laughed heartily, reaching out to grab towards Zheng Siqi's chest, "Who made your chest so big? Here, let me help you make it a bit smaller!"

"Fu Xue, you lunatic!" Zheng Siqi's face blanched as she quickly covered her chest with her hands.

"Let me have a feel and I'll beat up Mo Guyun for you! Anyway, he's from the Western Faction and I am from the Western Faction, no reason needed to beat him up!" Fu Xue pressed on relentlessly.

"Senior Sister Fu, the banquet is about to start, we should find our seats quickly!" Chu Hao urged.

"Tch!" Fu Xue retracted her hand and teased Zheng Siqi, "What, guarding your wife so closely even before marriage?"

"Fu, Xue!" Zheng Siqi enunciated each syllable, brimming with the intent to kill.

Fu Xue laughed out loud, "To see you, the great lady, so flustered and wanting to kill, is really too amusing!"

Zheng Siqi immediately hung her head in resignation, befriending such a harmful friend truly meant she was blind!

Tang Xin struggled to keep his composure on the side, his shoulders trembling as he tried not to burst out laughing. The Tang, Zheng, and Fu families were the strongest nobility of Eastern Cloud City, and the three of them, being close in age, had known each other since childhood. However, being a few years younger and a boy, his relationship wasn't as close as that between Fu Xue and Zheng Siqi.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore!" Fu Xue waved her hand, "Come on, I'll take you to find a place to sit!"

The four of them entered the hall, where at least a hundred tables were set up for the grand feast. Being juniors, they naturally didn't qualify for the central seats, so Fu Xue led them to a corner to sit down.

"Chu Hao, your former fiancée sure isn't simple, she's already getting along so well with the Mo Family's second son!" Tang Xin said, glancing sideways.

Coincidentally, Mo Guyun, Mo Xuannan, and Lin Yuqi were sitting at the table next to them.

This woman really had her ways! But what did she have to do with him?

Chu Hao just smiled mildly and remained silent.

He had told Lin Yuqi not to regret her decision, and although his current strength was inconspicuous and the Chu Family had not reclaimed their noble status, he guessed Lin Yuqi might be feeling some regret now?

But that wasn't enough!

Chu Hao didn't aim to become strong because of Lin Yuqi, but if he could incidentally slap her in the face, he was more than happy to oblige! The previous Chu Hao had suffered quite a bit because of this woman.

The relationships between the people at both tables were quite delicate, with Mo Guyun admiring Zheng Siqi and mistakenly thinking she had an ambiguous relationship with Chu Hao. Meanwhile, Lin Yuqi and Mo Xuannan were now together, yet Lin Yuqi was Chu Hao's ex-fiancée.

Mo Guyun and Mo Xuannan frequently cast glances at Chu Hao, seeing him as connected to the women they liked. Men are particularly sensitive about such things.

```

"Judging by their behavior, it seems like they won't stay put!" Tang Xin added.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Chu Hao said offhandedly, not concerned in the slightest.

"Hey, hey, hey, you just got lucky and made it to sixth place. Don't start thinking of yourself as an expert!" Tang Xin reminded him.

Chu Hao laughed heartily and said, "Just you wait and see!"

Tang Xin was full of doubt. In his mind, even if Chu Hao had strong willpower and could fully absorb the effects of Strong Muscle Powder, plus the meat of ferocious beasts, then gaining 30 pounds of strength in one day was the limit. In two months, his strength could at most reach the Second Tier of the Lesser Mahayana realm!

Mo Guyun was from the Heavenly Court, he surely wouldn't stoop to striking Chu Hao out of pride, but Mo Xuannan was at the Fourth Tier of the Lesser Mahayana realm and could easily overpower him with sheer strength. What could Chu Hao possibly use to fight back?

"Keep dreaming!" Tang Xin rolled his eyes.

"Want to make a bet?" Chu Hao tempted Tang Xin like a devil.

"Bet on what?" asked Tang Xin, driven by youthful competitiveness and certain of his success.

Chu Hao tapped the table and said, "I bet that Mo Xuannan will find an excuse to pick a fight with me later, looking to humiliate me!"

"Of course, those brothers both harbor a 'grudge over a stolen wife' against you!" Tang Xin whispered.

However, his whisper was quite audible due to their proximity and the excellent hearing of Zheng Siqi, who promptly raised her eyebrows and shot a ferocious glare their way.

What stolen wife grudge? She was merely an ordinary friend of Chu Hao!

"Let's bet on whether I can defeat Mo Xuannan!" Chu Hao said.

Tang Xin was taken aback and said, "Do you not realize that Mo Xuannan is at the Fourth Tier of the Lesser Mahayana realm?"

"That's none of your concern. So, do you want to bet or not?"

Tang Xin hesitated. If Chu Hao knew he would lose, why would he propose a bet? However, he couldn't understand how Chu Hao thought he had a chance of winning. Aha! His eyes lit up as he said, "You must have a Treasure Artifact on you!"

Chu Hao sighed and said, "I was actually hoping to bet ten thousand taels of silver with you, oh well!"

Tang Xin sniffed and said, "How much do I even earn in a month, and you want to swindle me out of ten thousand taels? You sly fox!"

"Hahaha, I always thought this kid was particularly devious!" Fu Xue chimed in gleefully.

Chu Hao raised both hands and protested, "Senior Sister Fu, I've never done anything to wrong you!"

"That's because you don't know Fu Xue well enough. She loves to pick on others!" Zheng Siqi interjected.

"Look at that, already defending him before you're even married!" Fu Xue teased.

Zheng Siqi was on the verge of exploding; her mischievous friend really had no filter.

While they were having such a lively conversation, the faces of the brothers on the side darkened, none too pleased with the banter.

"Xuannan, during the martial competition later, you challenge that kid!" Mo Guyun turned and told his brother.

Mo Xuannan nodded eagerly. Sitting right there was his girlfriend's former fiancé, which was like a thorn in his side, making him feel uncomfortable. He said, "I'll certainly teach him a lesson; someone like him, a commoner, should stay where he belongs!"

Lin Yuqi, however, furrowed her brows slightly and said, "Xuannan, don't underestimate Chu Hao!" Ma Long had already suffered defeats by Chu Hao's hands several times, and she didn't want to see Mo Xuannan end up beneath Chu Hao's foot as well.

Mo Xuannan scoffed and laughed, "Although that guy ranked sixth in this Earthly Institute selection, it was only because he had Tang Xin's help! Ma Long was simply too foolish, he could have easily crushed him face on, yet he recklessly abandoned his advantage!"

Lin Yuqi was at a loss for words. Indeed, Ma Long could have easily defeated Chu Hao in a direct confrontation, yet he wanted to see Chu Hao made a fool of, resulting in him being humiliated first in the Fortune Full Building, then at the auction block, and finally reaching a climax of embarrassment at the Beast Fighting Arena.

But she couldn't shake off an uneasy feeling, however, she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

Before long, the birthday celebration officially began.

Although there were many attendees, if one were to categorize them, it would be the 15 Vajra Realm experts of Eastern Cloud City and their associated parties. Others, like Chu Hao, were younger members invited by the Fu Family.

Chu Hao saw Ma Jicheng, who also brought along several juniors from the Ma Family. Of course, Ma Jicheng wouldn't bother giving him a second glance.

As the birthday feast reached its midpoint, it was time for the "entertainment" portion.

Those with gifts gave gifts; those who wanted to fight, fought. Here, fighting wasn't called fighting; it was considered aiding the festive ambiance!

This was the world of Martial Artists!

"I am Fu Qingchen, and I would like to learn a thing or two from Cheng Tianfang!" A tall, distinguished-looking young man stepped forward, first giving bows to all directions, then fixed his gaze on a particular spot.

"He's Senior Sister Fu's cousin and he's already 25 years old," Tang Xin informed Chu Hao, "That Cheng Tianfang is a prodigy from the Cheng Family. Both around the same age, they used to be archenemies back in the academy!"

At 25, he must've already entered the Great Mahayana realm, right?

Chu Hao had never seen a battle at the Great Mahayana realm and was brimming with eagerness to witness what set these Martial Artists apart.
