The front gate of the Qing clan was crowded as various carriages and palanquins packed at the front of the manor, these carriages were more luxurious and grand as compared to Gu Shang's own.
Young masters and mistresses of the various powerful clans descended from their carriages, they were dressed in luxurious and flashy silk robes as they all arrogantly entered the manor with proud faces
Gu Shang and Liu Feiefei also climbed down from their carriages and headed towards the main entrance.
As they got closer the crowd around them couldn't help but whisper among themselves as they gazed at the beautiful couple heading into the Qing manor.
"Which clan do those two young couples hail from?'' The crowd couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Why does the beautiful woman resemble deputy captain Feifei?" One of the young masters couldn't help but ask.
With his reminder, more and more people began to see the similarities and at this time were all shocked to find out that she was indeed Liu Feiefei.
One could hardly blame them though, Liu Feiefei was a very popular person within the Immortal empire, not only was she one of the goddesses of the capital, but her strength was also acknowledged throughout the capital.
She was in the top ten of young pillars ranking, this was a ranking that contained the elite of the elite of the strongest youngsters in the capital. All the people on this ranking were considered the pillars of the empire and it was said that the top ten on the ranking had the highest chance of entering the Orifice tempering realm.
Under normal circumstances, Liu Feiefei was easy to recognize, she was always in her scarlet armour.
So it wasn't surprising that people would find it difficult to recognize her when she changed into regular clothes.
All the hearts of the young masters couldn't help but beat faster when they saw how beautiful she looked in her regular clothes, along with the flower jade hair clip in her hair.
They couldn't help but want to protect and possess this lovely flower, but they frowned when they saw she was holding hands with a young handsome youth with silver hair, in white robes they could not recognize.
They could not tell the identity of this man, but they knew they didn't like him. Liu Feiefei had always used the excuse of wanting to remain a window to honor her trashy husband to decline them, so who was this man?
One of the young masters whispered something to the guards at the gates.
When they got to the entrance, they were asked to show their invitation to which Liu Feiefei obliged, but before they could enter one of the guards stopped them.
"Your servant can't enter along with you"
Gu Shang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Who says I'm her servant?''
Gu Shang asked before Liu Feiefei could even reply, he signaled her to calm down.
The guard frowned, "If you are not her servant, then who are you supposed to be?" The guard asked coldly.
He felt like this useless thing that couldn't even cultivate was trying to disrespect him.
"I'm her husband and the young master of the Liu clan, do I qualify now?"
All those who heard Gu Shang couldn't help but gasp in surprise, "so he's Gu Shang? The useless son of the Gu Clan that can cultivate and the man that caused the Liu Clan great humiliation?"
But isn't he supposed to be dead?" The crowd gathered at the entrance couldn't help but gossip.
The guard couldn't help but begin to sweat profusely? Everyone in the capital knew of Gu Shang's reputation, though the other young masters could scorn him, he was just a guard while Gu Shang was the son in law of the Liu Clan.
Though the Liu Clan were on the decline, it was said that a constipated camel was still taller than a horse.
The Liu Clan head was known to be protective of his own, if he came demanding justice the Qing clan might just hand him over to appease the old general.
This wasn't because the Qing clan feared the Liu Clan but it was because, the Qing clan wants to keep a clean reputation, they wouldn't allow anyone to bully their people, but they won't step in if the fault was theirs.
As the guard was panicking, the head of the guards who was at the peak of the body refinement realm couldn't help but step in and apologize to Gu Shang with a bow.
"Young master, forgive us for not recognizing you, we promise that we'll give you an explanation before the tea banquet ends?" The head guard apologized while bowing.
So are we allowed to enter now? Gu Shang asked calmly.
"Please do, young master!'' The head guard gestured for Gu Shang to continue into the manor.
Liu Feiefei snorted as she and Gu Shang entered the manor.
But before they could even enter the courtyard they were stopped by a plump middle aged man, this middle aged man was fat and was dressed in a luxurious golden armor with the crest of the Qing clan on his chest, the armor didn't make him look intimidating, rather it looked quite comical on the fatty.
"Who allowed your servant in?" These guards outside are just useless, how are they letting any random Joe enter?
Gu Shang couldn't help but glance at Liu Feiefei apologetically, the white robe he was wearing was rather cheap so it wasn't a surprise he was mistaken for a servant.
Liu Feiefei frowned and showed her invitation to the fatty, "this is not a servant but my husband, you better show him respect" Liu Feiefei said coldly.
Oh?
So it's deputy captain Liu of the Liu clan, I'm sorry but for lower clans like the Liu clan, it's only one person per invitation.
Only high class clans can come with an extra person!" The fatty called old Huang said coldly.
He was the captain of the Qing clan outer walls guard and was said to be a very distant relative of the Qing clan.
Because of this relationship, old Huang has been acting tyrannical on the territory of the Qing clan, no one dared to disrespect him except for the young masters of the prominent clans
Old Huang had just been scolded by a bunch of young masters from high clans and was boiling with frustration and anger, luckily the Liu clan party showed up at the right time, he could now vent it on them.
A little crowd gathered around the scene because of the commotion.
"It's old Huang of the Qing clan, someone isn't going to have a good day" the crowd whispered. Who in the capital didn't know how tyrannical Old Huang was?
"On the invitation it clearly states a spot for an extra person!" Liu Feiefei said, her voice growing cold.
"Then it must be a mistake, If I say it's one person per invite, then it's one person per invite deputy captain Liu, low level clans should consider themselves lucky to be granted a single spot to this tea party, besides if the young trashy husband of yours is allowed to enter won't it lower the standard of this event?" old Huang said coldly
He had just been bullied by the heirs of the prominent clans to which he had to swallow his grievance, but now even a declining clan like the Liu clan dares to reprimand him.
This was unforgivable!
The crowd knew there was no such rule, every person invited was allowed to bring in an extra. It seemed like Old Huang was trying to stir trouble for the couple.
Gu Shang, who had enough of this nonsense, stepped forward, no one was allowed to bully his wife"Can you and the Qing clan handle the consequences of us not attending?" Gu Shang asked.
"Fuck!" Who do you think you are? The emperor? Is there something wrong with your head? Do you believe that I won't slap you to death?" Fatty Huang mocked as the rest of the crowd laughed along with him.
"Even the Liu clan at their peak was nothing before my Qing clan, what makes you think that a trash who can't cultivate like you, has any importance?
Who did Gu Shang think he was?
Liu Feiefei frowned, Gu Shang was bragging again.
Gu Shang wanted to make a move, but Liu Feiefei held his hand, it's okay let's leave.
We can't be where we are not wanted! She said as she turned around.
She couldn't bear to let Gu Shang keep getting embarrassed, they weren't even at the main garden of the event and people were already looking down on Gu Shang and the Liu clan.
"Very well, you better remember what happened today, I'll surely be back for you!" Gu Shang said coldly as he turned to leave with Liu Feiefei.
Old Huang exploded with anger, fu*k! Even the trash who couldn't cultivate was threatening him, today was just full of bad luck.
If it wasn't for Liu Feiefei, he would have smashed Gu Shang to cinders with just a single slap.
"You better not let me find you alone, or else… Hehe" old Huang said coldly in his mind.
Gu Shang and Liu Feiefei were about to leave when a massive unit of flesh held onto Gu Shang's arm.
"Brother Gu! It's really you! I knew you were alive! I knew you wouldn't die just like that!" a fatty in luxurious robes and accessories held on to Gu Shang as he wept tears of joy!
Gu Shang yanked his hands away, "Damn fatty, let go of me''
The massive unit of flesh named fatty Su let go of Gu Shang.
He was a youth with a chubby face and cheeks making him look cute. He had the kind of face that made him look like a baby; his belly would always move slightly whenever he took a step.
He wore a golden chain around his neck and had countless golden rings on his fingers, making him look extravagant.
He was Su Wen, the second young master of the Su clan. The Su clan was regarded as the richest clan in the empire.
"Su Wen, how did you become this fat?'' Gu Shang asked with a frown. Su Wen wasn't fat like this seven years ago.
The crowd all drew in sharp breaths, fatty Su hated being called 'fat' the most, he once beat someone to death because the person called him fatty. His reputation was even more notorious than old Huang.
But to everyone surprise he didn't get angry like they all expected, instead his smile grew wider, "Brother Gu, might not know but ever since you left, I always make sure to eat whenever I missed you,
All this' he pointed at himself is a result of my longing for you brother, fatty Su said shamelessly.
Gu Shang and the crowd couldn't help but cringe when they heard fatty Su.
"By the way, why are you leaving when the event just started? There's so much to catch up to, why don't we go back?" fatty Su suddenly said politely.
Gu Shang glanced at fatty Huang with the corner of his eyes, a smile slowly forming on his lips.
Old Huang who was already sweating when he saw the relationship between fatty Su and Gu Shang couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he saw Gu Shang smile.
Gu Shang sighed with a dramatic expression.
Gu Shang suddenly stepped aside and pointed at old Huang, "He said we should leave because we are just from a lower clan,
I even kindly reminded him that we were with the Su Clan party, but he said he didn't care and that this was his turf, and he could do whatever he wanted, he even said the Su Clan wasn't that impressive,
and were only rich for nothing, he also called you a fatty who was good for nothing other than spending his family wealth" Gu Shang said innocently.
The crowd drew in sharp breaths, "What a scheming bastard, old Huang never said those things,but Gu Shang conveniently made it up, how despicable" the crowd muttered but none of them were going to point out the lies because of old Huang tyranny.
At this moment Fatty Su's face was as black as a chimney rock.
Old Huang tried to explain, but fatty Su grabbed the collar of the armor and gave fatty Huang three slaps in succession.
"My Lord please let me explain!" Old Huang cried out in pain.
