Chapter 144: Fu Jing
Fu Jing’s status really was high.
Leaving aside her own influence for now, she was also the apple of a Dao Lord’s eye, so she was truly the young miss of a wealthy and affluent family. Compared with the young ladies of large families, Fu Jing was so many levels above them.
The reason was very simple. Fu Jing was the only daughter of that Dao Lord, and a single Dao Lord was strong enough to overwhelm a large family.
It was precisely because of this that since childhood, she had been spoiled by thousands of people. Thus, she was particularly surprised and humiliated when Gu Nan completely ignored her.
In fact, she should count herself lucky. Because she didn’t have a mission on her, Gu Nan couldn’t even be bothered to attack. Otherwise, she might already be a corpse right now.
However, Gu Nan’s move was still akin to throwing a boulder into a pond, making the crowd instantly explode with anger.
Tang Xuan’s nephew watched all this with eyes so wide that they were about to pop out. “Good heavens… Lan Si’s older brother really doesn’t fear death. This is Fu Jing, you know?!”
Not to mention Fu Jing’s own influence, the anger of her admirers alone was enough to ruin a normal person.
Sure enough, there was no need for Fu Jing to speak at all. All the hotblooded youths had already flown into a rage on her behalf.
“What the hell! Miss Fu didn’t even finish her words, but he actually didn’t give any face?”
“Heh, I thought a wise person had come, but who would’ve thought that he’d be even more stupid than his sister…”
“Right? When we get to the Sixth Region, these two will understand just how foolish they were!”
These young masters could already foresee countless people rushing to deal with this pair of siblings who foolishly offended Miss Fu.
However, Gu Nan still didn’t pay them any attention. He never cared about other people’s words; he only cared about their actions and whether they’d get in the way of his goals.
He took Lan Si but didn’t leave directly, instead walking towards the crowd.
A few young masters just happened to be in their path. Someone immediately blocked Gu Nan’s path and sneered, “Boy, I suggest you apologize to Miss Fu, or else… ah!”
He couldn’t speak after that, because as Gu Nan walked past, he grabbed the youth’s neck with one hand and threw him at the nearby wall.
Crash!
Gu Nan’s strength was too great. Even if it was just a casual throw, the huge impact still shook the entire hall, and the young master coughed up blood, almost hacking out an internal organ.
There was instant silence in the hall, then several friends of the youth changed expressions at the same time.
“B*****d! What are you doing? You actually dared to hit…”
Crash!
There was another loud crash, and another person was tossed aside by Gu Nan, but this time he casually grabbed the person’s hair, so half of his scalp was torn off.
“Ahhh!”
Pained shouts and miserable screams; blood mixed with torn limbs—such a horrible scene immediately plunged the hall into chaos, and countless people began to run out screaming.
Even Fu Jing looked pale. Although she came from a powerful background, she had devoted herself to entertainment since childhood. When had she ever seen such a scene before?
Tang Xuan’s nephew, Tang Ziwen, also looked slightly pale right now. Not only was he horrified by the bloodshed in front of him, but he also had a bad feeling—that fellow seemed to be heading towards their side.
Only Tang Xuan still had a cold expression. After all, she came from Radiant Tower and had seen countless war scenes before, so she could still remain calm.
Gu Nan’s footsteps seemed to be both slow and fast. Almost in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of the two.
Tang Xuan didn’t believe it was a fluke that he could pinpoint the culprits and find Tang Xuan and Tang Ziwen directly, so she simply took the lead to say, “Ziwen has a childish temper; he didn’t mean to provoke you. Please forgive him.”
She took a step forward when she said this. Her internal energy started circulating and illuminated the space behind her with a strange glow, causing people to look askance.
“A Prodigious Realm cultivator in the Infinitesimal Stage!” Fu Jing couldn’t help exclaiming.
Even if her father was already a much stronger Dao Lord, it was still rare to see an expert of this level. She didn’t expect to meet one on this starship.
The group of young masters who were originally at a loss looked like they’d seen a savior right now, their eyes lighting up.
Gu Nan looked at Tang Xuan with a light smile. “You don’t recognize me anymore after not seeing each other for several months?”
Tang Xuan paused slightly. She studied Gu Nan’s face for a long time but still couldn’t figure out any clues. It wasn’t until Gu Nan removed his disguise with a brush of his hand that she became dumbfounded. “Gu Nan?!”
Gu Nan nodded. “I have matters to discuss. Come with me.”
When talking, Gu Nan didn’t even glance at Tang Ziwen and even ignored the people around him. No matter whether they were horrified or hostile, they were equally ignored by him.
If this was a game, then what Gu Nan had to do was to pick up Lan Si and find Tang Xuan to trigger a conversation. Other NPCs meant nothing to him.
Tang Xuan didn’t react until a while later. She barely digested everything in sight, then gave a slight nod—she was also curious about Gu Nan.
So two more people were added to Gu Nan’s team—Tang Xuan and Tang Ziwen. They stepped on the pools of blood and walked outside.
“Wait!” A charming shout finally rang out, and Fu Jing rushed to block Gu Nan’s path.
This daughter of a Dao Lord and famous celebrity glared at Gu Nan with those big eyes, as if to commit his face to memory.
She blocked Gu Nan’s way, but seeing the other party coming over step by step, she inevitably felt some fear, so she kept cheering herself up.
‘Although I don’t know what kind of relationship that Infinitesimal Stage Prodigious cultivator has with this guy… I can’t just let this go.’
‘Besides, this person hit my friend. Don’t tell me I have to let him leave, just like this?!’
Fu Jing took a deep breath. “I don’t care who you are. Star Realm still has its own laws. You hurt them for no reason…”
The next moment, she felt something close around her neck, and all her words got stuck in her stomach. Her body seemed to take off, heading towards the wall.
“No! No…”
Fu Jing felt her entire person tremble, but the expected pain didn’t come. A gentle force supported her from behind, and she was held by a pair of big hands.
She opened her eyes carefully and exclaimed in pleasant surprise, “Brother Lu!”
When such a ruckus happened in Hall 3, it naturally attracted much attention. Fortunately, that was the case for this newcomer, who saw the scene and saved Fu Jing just in time.
Fu Jing, who was still shaken, finally felt relieved and cried, “Brother Lu, you have to help me get even! Not only did this fellow beat people up indiscriminately, he even hit me…”
She often traveled to and from several nearby regions, so she knew this Brother Lu very well.
‘This is the rich second generation of a family that controls an entire planet. Even if his family still can’t compare to mine, it’s not too far behind. Besides, he himself is also a genius. Rumors say he has hope of entering the Star Ranking…’
‘Compared with those weak young masters, this is a genuine talented genius. He’s sure to teach that b*****d a good lesson!’
What she didn’t expect, however, was that after her Brother Lu Li saved her, his expression changed twice in the span of a single second when seeing Gu Nan, and he finally bowed his head with a bitter smile.
“Mr. Gu, Little Jing didn’t mean to offend. This humble one will apologize to you in her stead…”
