Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes sparkled with admiration. Ye Kunlun truly lived up to his reputation for being willful, arrogant, and ruthless.
With a single move, he had crippled Uncle Hai.
She could tell that even if Uncle Hai recovered, he would be a mere commoner for the rest of his life. To a martial artist, this was akin to being crippled!
Her beautiful eyes fell on Ye Kunlun. To Changsun Han, this was no different than his head being covered in a vast, green prairie.
He had liked Tang Zhuozhuo since childhood, considering her his woman. Even though Tang Zhuozhuo had never paid him any attention and even held him in contempt, he didn't care. Because he knew that in Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes, other men weren't even worthy of her disdain!
Now, her beautiful, captivating eyes were fixed on another man besides himself. How could he not be furious?
Changsun Han didn't even glance at Uncle Hai, who had been severely wounded by Ye Kunlun's swift action. Instead, he coldly stared at Ye Kunlun, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"It seems you are a cultivator," Changsun Han said. "I know all the young cultivators in the capital. You are not from the capital, but as soon as you step foot into it, no matter your origin, you are nothing but an ant before my Changsun family!"
Changsun Han's words were arrogant enough for anyone! The seven great families of the capital were not to be trifled with. Anyone who offended them met a terrible end. This was especially true for someone like Changsun Han, who harbored grudges.
"Changsun Han, have you caused enough trouble?!"
Tang Zhuozhuo knew it was time for her to speak. If Ye Kunlun truly clashed with Changsun Han, it would alert the Changsun family. By then, even if the Tang family intervened, it would be difficult to de-escalate the situation.
Although, she secretly wished Ye Kunlun and Changsun Han would fight. However, after witnessing Ye Kunlun's powerful presence and demeanor, she knew it was unnecessary.
"Trouble?"
Changsun Han narrowed his eyes, his face filled with icy anger and a sneer. "Zhuozhuo, we are childhood sweethearts. You call me a troublemaker here for some unknown brat who just appeared out of nowhere?"
"Heh, what do you take me for, Changsun Han?"
Tang Zhuozhuo furrowed her brows and patiently replied, "I only consider you a regular friend. Besides, your security guard was disrespectful to him first, and he was only defending himself!"
No matter what, Tang Zhuozhuo had to stand by Ye Kunlun's side.
Changsun Han let out a cold snort and addressed Ye Kunlun, "Kid, I don't care about your background. Since you are someone Zhuozhuo favors, show me your abilities and convince me!"
Ye Kunlun's expression was indifferent as he looked at Tang Zhuozhuo and asked, "Did the Changsun family only produce an idiot like this?"
Tang Zhuozhuo was stunned. She hadn't expected Ye Kunlun to say something so insulting to Changsun Han. Recovering from her surprise, a hint of amusement appeared in her eyes.
"Pfft..."
Tang Tangtang, who had followed them out, couldn't help but chuckle at Ye Kunlun's words.
"Second sister, he actually called Changsun Han an idiot! Hahaha..."
Tang Zhuozhuo couldn't hold back her laughter anymore, doubled over with tears streaming down her face.
Tang Yaoyao was also dumbfounded. There were only a handful of people in the entire capital who dared to insult Changsun Han like this, and they were all on the same level as the seven great families.
At this moment, her impression of Ye Kunlun had slightly improved. She pulled Tang Tangtang and scoffed, "He's just a brute. If elder sister really gets together with him, she'll probably suffer in the future!"
Changsun Han's expression was a sight to behold. He, the second young master of the prestigious Changsun family, had never imagined a day would come when he would be openly called an idiot! This blatant humiliation stung him even more than a physical blow.
"Very well!"
Changsun Han glared at Ye Kunlun. "Today, I want to see who exactly you are!"
Saying that, Changsun Han took out his phone, preparing to call for reinforcements.
"Changsun Han, today is my birthday banquet. I apologize to you on his behalf!"
Tang Zhuozhuo knew the situation had escalated enough. If Changsun Han alerted the Changsun family, it would be difficult to resolve today's events.
"Zhuozhuo, you're apologizing for him? Who is he? Why are you apologizing for him?"
Changsun Han held his phone, his gaze hidden and filled with coldness.
Tang Zhuozhuo replied, "He is my fiancé. Is that enough?"
The moment Tang Zhuozhuo spoke, Changsun Han's fingers froze on his phone. He stared at her in disbelief. After a moment, Changsun Han finally came to his senses. "You said he is your fiancé? Tang Zhuozhuo, are you joking? You are the eldest daughter of the Tang family; how can you speak such nonsense!"
"He is indeed my fiancé!"
Tang Zhuozhuo showed no regret. "Years ago, I made a marriage contract with him. If you don't believe me, you can ask my grandfather!"
"Eldest sister has gone mad."
Tang Yaoyao also hadn't expected Tang Zhuozhuo to announce Ye Kunlun's identity at such a moment.
Seeing that Tang Zhuozhuo wasn't joking, Changsun Han put away his phone and started laughing. "Since he is Zhuozhuo's fiancé, then today's matter is like a misunderstanding between family members. It's like the Yellow Dragon Temple being flooded by the Yellow Dragon."
Changsun Han laughed heartily. "Zhuozhuo, today is your birthday banquet, and I, Changsun Han, will give you face."
Changsun Han's temper flared up quickly and dissipated just as fast. However, Tang Zhuozhuo and everyone present knew that Changsun Han would not let this matter go so easily.
"My dear brother, since you are Zhuozhuo's fiancé, what birthday gift have you prepared for Zhuozhuo at today's banquet?"
Changsun Han noticed Ye Kunlun was empty-handed, showing no sign of having prepared a gift. Moreover, he didn't believe Ye Kunlun was Tang Zhuozhuo's fiancé at all, thinking she was just using him as an excuse to quell the situation! He intended to make Ye Kunlun realize bit by bit that his title as the second young master of the Changsun family was not undeserved.
"You don't need to prepare a birthday gift for me."
Tang Zhuozhuo also saw that Ye Kunlun was empty-handed. His presence today was already the greatest surprise. Since Changsun Han intended to make things difficult for Ye Kunlun, she naturally wouldn't let him succeed.
"Zhuozhuo, look, haven't we all prepared birthday gifts for you?"
Changsun Han chuckled lightly.
"Zhuozhuo, Second Young Master Changsun's 'Glory of the Blue Star' is worth a billion!"
"Yes, Zhuozhuo, even we can see Second Young Master Changsun's sincere affection for you!"
Tang Zhuozhuo's friends clearly sided with Changsun Han. After all, apart from his good looks, Ye Kunlun appeared too ordinary. If Ye Kunlun hadn't even prepared a gift, they would naturally look down on him. Even if he had prepared a gift, if it wasn't as impressive as Changsun Han's 'Glory of the Blue Star,' they would still be criticized.
"He already gave me my birthday gift a few days ago."
Tang Zhuozhuo spoke up again to protect Ye Kunlun. Ye Kunlun had given her the Xuanyang Art, whose value far exceeded Changsun Han's 'Glory of the Blue Star.'
"Oh? What is it? Zhuozhuo, why don't you show it to us?"
Changsun Han clearly wouldn't let Ye Kunlun off the hook.
"I have prepared three gifts for you."
Ye Kunlun spoke up at this moment. Tang Zhuozhuo was taken aback, then looked at Ye Kunlun with a hint of anticipation.
