Gu Changge's gaze was distant as he lowered his head, blowing on the tea in his cup.
His white clothes were as pure as snow, without a speck of dust.
His handsome features, clear and unblemished, were shrouded in a faint mist, his expression indifferent.
But if one looked deeper, they would realize that it was an indifference as if he were above everything else.
He stood high above, looking down on all below.
It was elusive and hard to comprehend.
It seemed as though the events happening in the entire hall were of no concern to him.
He seemed to be outside the world.
Well, this was the feeling everyone in the hall had at that moment.
No matter who it was, they could all sense that this young man in white was no ordinary person.
Everything about him, from his aura to his movements, exuded an otherworldly feeling.
He was not a mortal!
Of course, no one knew that Gu Changge's so-called indifferent expression was purely due to confusion and… disorientation.
He was a transmigrator.
One moment, he had been sleeping, and the next, he woke up in this dangerous fantasy world.
In this world, the strong could pluck stars and moons, move mountains and seas, fly through the skies and burrow into the earth. The weak, however, were trampled upon, their lives like grass, with no respect or dignity.
He was a true disciple sent by an immortal sect from the upper realms to train.
With exceptional talent and an overwhelming background.
But from Gu Changge's previous life, where he had read countless web novels, it was clear that in this world, his current situation looked like he was just a villainous side character, or perhaps a cannon fodder who wouldn't last more than a few chapters.
This outcome left Gu Changge feeling quite frustrated.
And now, looking at the events unfolding before him, he couldn't help but click his tongue. The moment he transmigrated, he was already encountering the fate of being slapped by the chosen one.
A name like Ye Chen was, without a doubt, a classic protagonist name.
And a name like his own—Gu Changge—clearly came straight from an arrogant author's desire to create a villainous cannon fodder character with extra flair.
With his level of prestige, wouldn't it be better to slap the protagonist in the face?
"Gu Changge..."
"Gu Changge..."
At this moment, Ye Chen had already called out to Gu Changge several times, but there was no response.
Not even a glance.
This complete disregard, this attitude of not taking him seriously, only fueled Ye Chen's anger. His fists clenched, the sound of his bones cracking in frustration.
"Audacious! How dare you call the young master by his name?"
At this point, a loud voice came from beside them, cold and full of anger, carrying an overwhelming pressure.
The speaker was the newly crowned Holy Son of the Taixuan Sacred Land, Chu Xuan.
His expression was cold as he walked toward Ye Chen, his hand shimmering with runes and divine light. He seemed ready to take action and teach Ye Chen a lesson.
This was his moment to shine.
Had it not been for Gu Changge's praise, he would not have so easily overshadowed the other true disciples and become the new Taixuan Holy Son.
So, he was incredibly grateful to Gu Changge.
After all, he wasn't like Su Qingge, who had a Holy Master father and had been named the Saintess from birth.
"Audacious! Ye Chen, today, in front of all these distinguished guests, you've repeatedly provoked the sect. Your intentions are truly malicious..."
"Seize him! Take him to the dungeon and await punishment!"
At this moment, an elder stepped forward, loudly scolding.
He wasn't going to miss this opportunity to please Gu Changge.
"Indeed, Holy Master, why not take this chance to strip Ye Chen of his cultivation and expel him from the sect?"
"This would be a perfect way to apologize to Young Master Gu."
The other elders, seeing the situation, also stepped forward, indignantly berating Ye Chen for his disrespect and provocation.
All the guests from the great forces were shocked.
Who exactly was this mysterious young man in white?
Ye Chen's face turned pale.
He realized the situation was not in his favor.
Everyone was currying favor with Gu Changge.
Even Su Qingge remained silent.
Why?
This was completely different from what he had expected.
At that moment, a cold sensation suddenly ran through his fingers.
Ye Chen's previously agitated mood quickly settled into calmness.
Gu Changge remained seated at the front, sipping his tea, his gaze now filled with interest.
Well, well, he didn't even need to say a word, and this so-called "chosen one" named Ye Chen had already fallen into this state?
It was truly a disappointment for someone with such a title.
Gu Changge's gaze shifted to the ring in Ye Chen's hand.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
This was definitely the kind of old man's standard equipment from a few years ago. The "chosen one" could not escape his fate.
"Gu Changge, besides bullying others with your power, what else can you do?"
Ye Chen spoke again, glaring at Gu Changge with intense anger.
It seemed as though everything was a result of Gu Changge's actions.
Had it not been for him, how would Su Qingge have been personally delivered to another man by the Taixuan Holy Master?
With that thought, Ye Chen felt a surge of frustration in his heart, wishing he could cut Gu Changge into a thousand pieces.
Who knew what would happen tonight?
Although he had once shared hardships with Su Qingge, he had always kept a respectful distance from her.
He hadn't even touched her dress!
Gu Changge, however, remained calm, his gaze still fixed downward, his expression unchanged.
There was no indication of joy or anger on his face.
But in his heart, he couldn't help but laugh.
What does this have to do with me?
According to the memories of the original host, he didn't even know a minor character like Ye Chen existed before this.
As for why the Taixuan Holy Master sent his daughter to him, that wasn't something he had asked for.
Crawling up to the powerful, flattering, and fawning—wasn't that quite normal in every world?
Especially in a world where the strong prey upon the weak.
Who told Ye Chen that his background was so terrifying?
Ye Chen, with no abilities, was really good at pinning labels on people.
