"You lost." A calm tone, and not a hint of emotion could be heard from his voice. Under the gazes of everyone present, Lin Shu Han lost so easily.

The entire place was extremely quiet, but right at this moment, the bride who had barged in earlier suddenly jumped onto Lin Shu Han's body, and looked left and right at Lin Shu Han.

"Darling, are you hurt?"

Lin Shu Han flung away the bride's hand impatiently and stared fixedly at Gu Ling Xue.

Just as he was about to step forward and make his move, he was stopped by Lin Tian Rui who stood behind him.

He indicated for Lin Shu Han to take care of the wife behind him, and Lin Tian Rui stood in front of Lin Shu Han.

"Miss Gu, what exactly are you thinking?"

Hearing that, Gu Ling Xue lowered her head and patted the creases on her clothes, and then slowly replied under the crowd's gaze: I'll make things difficult for you.

With a slight curve of his lips, a slightly mocking smile appeared on Gu Ling Xue's face.

"The past is still fresh in my mind."

The words that came out of his mouth startled Lin Tian Rui.

Back then, the Lin Family had mocked her in such a manner.

After pondering for a while, Lin Tian Rui slowly spoke out: "Miss Gu, our Lin Family expresses our deepest apologies to you for the past matter, but everyone is clear that our Lin Family was the one who relented, and if it can be considered as a loss, it would be considered as our Lin Family suffering a loss as well."

Hearing this, the surrounding people burst into an uproar as they began to discuss in hushed voices.

That incident at that time could also be considered to be a very sensational thing.

The guests that had come all lowered their heads and whispered amongst themselves. The bride turned around and looked around. She could hear some clues from everyone's mouth, so her eyebrows were tightly knitted.

Lin Shu Han was originally a little impatient because of Gu Ling Xue, but at this moment, his thoughts were thrown into disarray by her wife, causing him to suddenly feel a little impatient.

Lin Shu Han impatiently shook off his sleeves and threw off the hand his wife was tightly holding onto. His mind was in a mess, and he himself did not know what he was doing.

Gu Ling Xue's eyes were filled with ridicule, she looked at the married couple who were not even done with their wedding yet, and stood on the spot contentedly.

"Lin Shu Han, I'm willing to give you face, don't go too far!"

The hand that was grabbing onto Lin Shu Han's clothes was flung away, but the bride suddenly became angry.

Several burly men dressed in red came out from the crowd and stood behind the bride.

The crowd sighed.

Looks like there's going to be a good show to watch.

After being scolded by the bride, Lin Shu Han's anger towards her reached its peak. He then frowned, and became angry at the bride, but just as he was about to do so, he was pulled down by Lin Tian Rui who was standing behind his.

Hearing this, the bride coldly snorted. She lifted her proud chin, but turned her head away and no longer said anything else.

Today was a day of great joy, so naturally, she did not wish for any problems to occur.

Gu Ling Xue shook her head, she suddenly felt annoyed at the two father and son in front of him.

Up till now, the Lin Family still thinks that he is the one who is at a disadvantage in the matters back then?

How shameless.

His tone suddenly became more serious, and everyone present felt waves of pain in their eardrums. Around their bodies, they also felt an extremely powerful pressure pressing down on them.

Everyone looked towards Gu Ling Xue in disbelief, unable to understand what she intended to do. However, before long, everyone understood.

Her lily-white hand slowly rose up to her chest, and at the center of her palm was a dark whirlpool that was so deep that one could not see the bottom.

The guests slowly retreated, afraid that they would be endangered if they were careless.

Gu Ling Shu watched on from the side but was extremely worried about Gu Ling Xue's body.

He had never seen Gu Ling Xue possess such immense power, if he were to expend his energy to deal with the Lin Family due to a moment of anger, it would truly not be worth it.

Gu Ling Shu's left foot hesitated as he stepped forward, but the scene from the moment he rushed out to protect Gu Ling Xue instantly flashed past his mind.

Just when he thought that Gu Ling Xue would be attacked by Lin Tian Rui, without any hesitation, he rushed in front of Gu Ling Xue, in an attempt to block that fatal blow for Gu Ling Xue.

He understood, if that strike landed on Gu Ling Xue's body, her sister would be considered to be gone.

As a result, even though he wasn't completely confident that he could withstand that attack, Gu Ling Shu still stood in front of him, blocking it without any hesitation.

However, at the moment when that power attacked him, he could clearly feel its power. At the moment when he already felt despair, he could clearly feel that the power in front of his eyes seemed to have stopped for a moment.

Just like that, it was very brief, yet it stopped just in time.

Gu Ling Shu's mind suddenly became chaotic, but before he could understand the reason, Gu Ling Xue suddenly appeared in front of him.

In an instant, that powerful pressure disappeared, and Gu Ling Xue, who was originally standing behind him, came back.

It was as if nothing had happened.

That powerful force instantly disappeared, and Lin Tian Rui's spirit energy also instantly turned to zero.

However, his loss was only a corner of his clothes being blown away by that power.

The foot suddenly stopped, then pulled back.

Maybe Ling Xue really had grown up; maybe, she really could do it herself.

Gu Ling Shu carefully stood behind Gu Ling Xue, his entire body was filled with caution, ready to attack at any time.

As long as Gu Ling Xue needs him.

In this short period of time of pondering, the originally pure and deep whirlpool in Gu Ling Xue's palm actually turned slightly blue.

With his many years of experience, Lin Tian Rui, who was standing in front of Gu Ling Xue, had an extremely strong premonition rising in his heart.

The fist under his robe clenched tightly, yet he couldn't muster the slightest bit of strength.

He turned around and hurriedly gestured for Lin Shu Han to leave, but in his heart he was secretly praying that what he felt was not true.

Lin Shu Han stood in his place, his eyes staring straight at the power in Gu Ling Xue's hand, his eyes filled with disbelief, but he immediately regained his senses and started to gather power.

However, he could see the meaning in his father's eyes.

Lin Shu Han's palm suddenly gathered a powerful force, and after that, his body slowly floated in front of Lin Tian Rui.

He didn't believe that the former good-for-nothing would have the ability to defeat him.

The surrounding guests, who had been watching the show, finally noticed that something was amiss and they all retreated.

On one side was an old friend that he had known for many years, or a business partner. On the other side was the future alchemist, and he didn't seem to be simple either.

In this war, they had no choice but to quietly retreat.
