Chapter 660 Shocked, Everyone Adores the Goddess Si (1)

The unexpected appearance of Gu Huiyan in this setting surprised Xiao Wenjian.

Though interactions among the upper echelons of the three aristocratic families and four major alliances had dwindled since the passing of Emperor Yin, nevertheless, high-level connections persisted.

Xiao Wenjian was naturally familiar with Gu Huiyan.

Of the three directors, Gu Huiyan was the most renowned figure in the Heaven Earth Alliance.

Gu Huiyan was known for his pride and high standards, seldom making public appearances except for occasional lectures at Great Xia University.

Now, he had also arrived here.

Gu Huiyan's shock was evident and matched Xiao Wenjian's, as he remarked, "Why are you here too? No, what are you doing here?"

More pressing was how Xiao Wenjian had arrived even earlier than him.

Despite him rushing straight from the airport, even a day ahead of schedule.

To ensure he made a grand entrance. He had brought a vase worth a billion from his office, meticulously packaged.

He was convinced it would sway Si Fuqing to join the Heaven Earth Alliance.

But who did he see here?

"Look at what you're saying. Whatever you're here for, I'm here for the same reason," Xiao Wenjian responded without yielding, despite acknowledging the generational gap. "I was even planning to visit the Heaven Earth Alliance headquarters to convey greetings on behalf of my master. What a coincidence to run into Elder Gu here."

Gu Huiyan felt as if he was choking on old blood, "You... don't tell me you're here to poach from an old man like me!"

He had felt confident in his prospects, backed by the prestige of the Heaven Earth Alliance.

No other arts association could possibly outmatch him.

But the Thousand Army Alliance was different.

And all from the three families and four alliances?

Gu Huiyan felt a profound loss of spirit, his eyes empty as he was ushered to a chair in the middle, utterly listless.

"Ah, Elder Gu, you're here," Si Fuqing entered with a tray. "You didn't tell me you were coming; I would have picked you up from the airport."

Gu Huiyan's heart ached, "Give me a moment to process this."

He had intended to surprise Si Fuqing, but instead, he was the one thoroughly startled.

Or rather, terrified.

Apart from Si Fuqing, Ye Zhenmian was the most composed, "My culinary skills are modest; please forgive any shortcomings."

Nian Tingchu followed her in, frowning slightly as his gaze quickly swept toward Xie Yanqiu and Xie Yu's direction.

Two Class A evolved beings.

As long as they were friends of Qingqing, there was no cause for concern.

The food was soon served.

Yun Fengzhi lowered his voice, "Your teacher is no ordinary person, eh? She knows the JI family, the leader of the Thousand Army Alliance, and even Elder Gu wants to take her as his disciple. Such connections..."

Unheard of, unseen.

Yun Fengzhi sighed, "I can see why your mom is so eager to adopt her as a stepdaughter."

If any family had such a daughter, they would be so lucky.

"I knew it already," Xie Yu clicked his tongue. "Do you know who designed all those blueprints my mom collects?"

Yun Fengzhi's forehead wrinkled with question marks.

Xie Yu added, "Teacher Si."
