Chapter 160: Gu Yuan: Junior, you are too presumptuous!

"Lei Dong, at that time, I'm afraid you had only just entered the Dou Zun realm!"

"How could you compare to Brother Gu Fei?"

Xun Er's questioning echoed through the great hall.

Following her words, the expression of Lei Dong, who had stood up, turned extremely ugly.

The two Lei Clan Elders both hurriedly looked at Lei Dong, worried that the hot-tempered Lei Dong would lose control and invite unnecessary trouble.

However, what Xun Er said was indeed reasonable; after all, when Lei Dong was at Gu Fei's current age, he had only just entered the Dou Zun realm, whereas Gu Fei had already reached Nine-Star Dou Zun. Comparing the two, the difference in talent was immediately apparent.

At this moment, even Gu Fei could not help but take another look at Xun Er.

It was just that, upon recalling some things that had happened before, Gu Fei's mood gradually returned to calm.

He truly did not wish to have any more contact with such a fickle woman.

Who knew if she would treat him in the future just as she had treated Lei Dong today.

Gu Yuan, Gu Lie, and the others were all well aware of the talent of both Lei Dong and Gu Fei.

But questioning him in public seemed inappropriate.

The Lei Clan had come to the Ancient Clan to propose marriage this time with full sincerity, so they had to consider the other party's face to some extent.

"Hehe, Xun Er, everyone has their own fortunes. Some people start cultivation slowly and finish fast, while others start fast and finish slow; everything is an unknown variable..."

"Lei Dong's future achievements may not necessarily be inferior to Gu Fei's. Furthermore, the Lei Clan are guests in our Ancient Realm this time; what you are doing now is truly not the way our Ancient Clan treats guests."

Gu Yuan smiled and persuaded Xun Er, telling her not to act willfully anymore.

"Oh..."

Xun Er sat back down, her gaze glancing at the position where Gu Fei was sitting.

Even at this moment, when the great hall was already noisy to the point of almost arguing, Gu Fei, as one of the parties involved, still sat there drinking as if nothing had happened, occasionally smacking his lips to savor the taste of the wine.

These scenes were all seen by Lei Dong. Lei Dong had been crowned with the name of a genius since birth; where had he ever suffered such an insult?

Even though the person who initiated the attack was Xun Er, he shifted his anger onto Gu Fei.

In his view, Gu Yuan's words just now were not siding with him either.

It was only because he was a guest, and because he was taking care of the Lei Clan's face, that he said that.

He was not being acknowledged, which made him even more incredibly annoyed!

He looked at the indifferent Gu Fei, and his suppressed emotions erupted instantly.

The next moment, he laughed loudly: "Clan Leader Gu Yuan is right... on the path of cultivation, one maneuvers through creation. Future things have not happened yet, so who can say for sure?"

"However, I have confidence. Since I am stronger than Gu Fei now, in the future, I will naturally be stronger than him. If he dares to spar with me, I will suppress my cultivation to Dou Zun Peak today, I just don't know if he dares to accept the challenge..."

Speaking of this, Lei Dong faced Gu Fei directly and mocked: "Gu Fei, you aren't going to continue being a coward, are you!"

"If you only know how to hide behind women and elders for your whole life, you are destined to achieve nothing in this life..."

"What is the use of having good talent? You are nothing but an eggshell that shatters at a touch!"

What Lei Dong was saying now was pure provocation. Even if Gu Fei was indifferent, he was frowning at this moment.

The other party had already scolded him in public; if he did not respond, he would really have no way to establish himself in the Ancient Clan in the future.

Gu Fei's eyes changed; his previous calmness disappeared and became sharp.

He looked at Lei Dong with a cold gaze, his momentum not the least bit weaker than the angry Lei Dong.

Just as Gu Fei intended to say the words, "If you want to fight, then fight, there is no need for you to suppress your cultivation!", a terrifying pressure swept through the great hall.

"Presumptuous!"

A calm voice rang out.

Although this voice was very calm, no one dared not to take it seriously.

The pressure contained in these two simple words made everyone present change their expressions, feeling as if a weight of ten thousand catties was pressing on their bodies.

Because the person speaking was none other than the Ancient Clan Leader, Gu Yuan.

In Gu Yuan's heart, he also agreed with Xun Er's words and had always regarded Gu Fei as the future successor of the Ancient Clan. How could he allow people from an outside clan to act like this on his own turf?

The Lei Clan were guests, and their purpose for coming this time was to propose marriage to Xun Er. Xun Er's stern refusal was a lack of etiquette, which was why Gu Yuan was maneuvering between them to preserve the Lei Clan's face.

But Lei Dong had actually pointed at Gu Fei and scolded him on the spot. Since when was it the Lei Clan's turn to lecture people of his Ancient Clan?

Furthermore, the person he was mocking and provoking was the future successor of the Ancient Clan.

He had already given the Lei Clan face.

But this move by Lei Dong showed he didn't put his Ancient Clan in his eyes at all.

Dealing with such a junior who did not know etiquette, and who was not his own daughter, Gu Yuan would not indulge him.

Gu Yuan's momentum, even compared to Zi Yan, who had erupted with the aura of a Three-Star Dou Sheng two days ago, was like a child in front of him.

The two Lei Clan Elders also realized something was wrong. In such a banquet between two clans, Lei Dong's behavior was completely provoking the Ancient Clan. They hurriedly apologized and scolded Lei Dong.

"Clan Leader Gu Yuan, please do not be angry. Lei Dong does not know etiquette; we ask Clan Leader Gu Yuan to forgive him."

"Lei Dong is young and spirited, competitive, and was confused for a moment, which is why he said those words just now. It was only a dispute between juniors, with no intention of being disrespectful to the Ancient Clan. Please, Clan Leader Gu Yuan, forgive him."

"Lei Dong! Why don't you hurry up and apologize to Clan Leader Gu Yuan!"

If Gu Yuan were truly angry, the consequences would be unimaginable. The Lei Clan Elders did not dare to test the dragon's might and hurriedly urged Lei Dong to apologize.

Under Gu Yuan's powerful pressure, Lei Dong's face turned pale. He felt as if a beast with a wide-open bloody mouth was right in front of him, and he was inside its mouth.

As long as the other party closed its mouth, its fangs would immediately tear him into pieces.

"Clan Leader Gu Yuan, please forgive me. Just now, it was Lei Dong who was reckless!"

Lei Dong's face was deathly pale as he bowed to apologize. He tried his best to suppress the urge to crawl before Gu Yuan, allowing himself to remain standing.

Facing Gu Yuan's words, even if he was unwilling in his heart, Lei Dong had to hold it in.

And at this time, the other party involved, Gu Fei, because Gu Yuan had spoken, continued to drink his wine. From beginning to end, he had not said a single word, yet there were constantly people standing up for him.

In the great hall, after Lei Dong admitted his mistake, Gu Yuan did not continue to pursue the matter; after all, he was only a junior, and he only needed to establish his authority.

After this disturbance, the banquet immediately became much quieter.

The Lei Clan disciples drank sullenly in silence, and Xun Er's gaze swept over Gu Fei from time to time, but Gu Fei did not look at her again.

The Lei Clan Elders knew that the matter of the marriage proposal was hopeless and had even angered the Ancient Clan Clan Leader Gu Yuan, so after staying for a while longer, they found an excuse to bid farewell to Gu Yuan.

"Clan Leader Gu Yuan, we take our leave!"

The two Lei Clan Elders hurriedly ended the banquet and left with the junior.

However, before leaving, Lei Dong could not help but take one last look at Xun Er, and just as Xun Er's gaze happened to fall upon Gu Fei, seeing the look in her eyes, Lei Dong could not help but clench his fists tightly.

"Once I return from my training in the Leichi, I will definitely prove to everyone who the true number one genius is..."

As he left, Lei Dong kept his fists tightly clenched, his gaze very determined.
