"Is it rage?" He Feng's gaze suddenly turned towards Xiao Mu, a cold killing intent shooting out from his deep-set eyes, causing Zhuge Changyun's heart to tremble: "Could it be that you dare to kill me as well?"

"Indeed!" After speaking, He Feng's hand suddenly lunged out, clutching towards Zhuge Changyun's throat, causing Zhuge Changyun to be greatly shocked. He immediately sidestepped, and He Feng's five fingers grazed his throat, even leaving a five-finger scratch on his neck.

It was truly a perilous moment just now, Zhuge Changyun knew that he was fortunate to dodge in time; otherwise, those icy fingers would have definitely seized his throat.

At this moment, Zhuge Changyun's gaze was fixed upon the leading young executive, exclaiming in horror: "You really dare to kill me?"

"The young lady of the Celestial Universe International, no one can afford to offend. Do you think you're worthy of touching her?" He Feng's voice was icy cold.

"Insolent!" Zhuge Changyun roared, suddenly stepping forward, bursting into the Peak Yellow Level Realm aura. In an instant, a terrifying pressure pressed towards He Feng, and then his right hand turned into a fist, hurling towards He Feng's face with lethal force.

He Feng stood still, his gaze remaining as icy as ever, but just as the opponent's fist came crashing down, his large hand finally struck out with thunderous momentum, bringing up a gust of wind, breaking through all defenses, directly grasping Zhuge Changyun's fist tightly embedded, no matter how hard Zhuge Changyun struggled, he couldn't break free of the large hand's grip.

Shock.

Zhuge Changyun was completely stupefied, staring blankly at everything before him: "You... you are a Profound Level Realm expert?"

Crack~

He Feng directly twisted and broke Zhuge Changyun's arm, causing Zhuge Changyun to scream, his face turning pale: "You... you dare cripple me!"

Indeed, this He Feng was a Profound Level Realm Early Stage expert, so young, yet a Profound Level Realm expert. If he joined the Emperor Star Academy, he would undoubtedly be a peerless prodigy, but he didn't; he chose to continue working at the Celestial Universe International Hotel, the meaning of which goes without saying.

"I said, the young lady of the Celestial Universe is not someone you can covet!" He Feng's voice was cold, and before Zhuge Changyun could reply, He Feng's large hand directly seized Zhuge Changyun's throat.

The next second: "Crack!"

Without any warning, He Feng directly snapped Zhuge Changyun's throat, leaving Zhuge Changyun utterly incredulous even in death; his attempt to lust after Xiao Ziyan ultimately cost him his life.

He Feng glanced at Zhuge Changyun lying on the ground, eyes wide open in death, and clapped his hands, ordering: "Clean this up, don't frighten the young lady!"

"Yes!"

A few bodyguards nodded, efficiently cleaning the scene without leaving a trace, as if nothing had ever happened here.

Then, He Feng looked at his watch, it was almost six o'clock, so he waved his hands, and everyone dispersed.

Inside the private room.

Xiao Ziyan noticed that it was five minutes to six and Zhuge Lanshan hadn't come to call her. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but flash with a bit of brilliance: "Could it be that Sister Zhuge has forgotten me?"

So, Xiao Ziyan stood up gracefully, opening the door with her elegant steps and walking out. At fifteen years old, her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, immensely pure, with an unrivaled, captivating elegance, worthy of being called the beauty prodigy and one of the three great beauties of Fengzhou City.

Birthday Hall.

With one minute left until the feast.

At this moment, a female server from the Celestial Universe pushed a cake cart into the hall.

Immediately, Zhuge Lanshan received the cake cart. Although she was the main character today, unbeknownst to her, many young eyes in the hall simultaneously shifted elsewhere because over there, a breathtakingly pure girl was walking towards Zhuge Lanshan in high heels.

This scene naturally did not escape Zhuge Lanshan's notice, so she turned her gaze and watched as Xiao Ziyan gracefully approached.

Xiao Ziyan directly stole the attention from Zhuge Lanshan, causing a trace of displeasure to flash in Zhuge Lanshan's beautiful eyes.

She murmured to herself: "What is my brother doing, he didn't manage to capture Xiao Ziyan, truly useless, actually letting her run out!"

Of course, the displeasure in Zhuge Lanshan's eyes was not noticed by Xiao Ziyan, so she came to Zhuge Lanshan's side and smiled lightly: "Sister Zhuge, it's six o'clock, why didn't you call me? Don't you want me to join your banquet?"

"Ziyan, why would you say that, I was just about to call you!" Zhuge Lanshan smiled softly: "By the way, did you see my brother?"

"Zhuge Changyun?" Xiao Ziyan asked.

"Yes!" Zhuge Lanshan nodded.

"I didn't see him!"

"What, you didn't see him?" Zhuge Lanshan was slightly alarmed. She had meticulously arranged everything, and yet Zhuge Changyun messed up at this critical moment?

Zhuge Lanshan didn't believe anything had happened to her brother.

Now, Xiao Ziyan's entrance had made her the leading lady here, leaving Zhuge Lanshan in the shadows. Zhuge Lanshan originally intended to see if there were any outstanding young talents who would favor her at this banquet.

But now, she was not the main character; this made her intensely jealous of Xiao Ziyan's beauty, and she was even angrier that her brother hadn't captured Xiao Ziyan; otherwise, how could Xiao Ziyan appear here.

"I'm afraid some people have ulterior motives!" At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly arose from the crowd, causing Zhuge Lanshan to frown slightly, inspecting the speaker: "Tuoba Cheng, what do you mean by that?"

Tuoba Cheng, indeed the young master of the Tuoba family, though the Tuoba family wasn't one of the four great families in Fengzhou City, it was still a prestigious family. Moreover, the Tuoba family had produced a prodigy, Tuoba Lei, who was currently training at Emperor Star Academy and had become a Profound Level Realm prodigy, highly valued by the academy, boosting the Tuoba family's prestige.

"What do I mean, I think you know best!"

Tuoba Cheng's voice was indifferent: "Now that the Patriarch of the Xiao Family has passed away, the Xiao Family's power is waning, posing little threat. So, you're planning to take advantage of this banquet to make a move on Xiao Ziyan. Xiao Ziyan is extraordinarily talented and will surely join the Emperor Star Academy in the future. At fifteen years old, she's already every man's ideal, if your brother were to win her over, his status in the Zhuge family would inevitably soar, do I need to say more?"

Tuoba Lei's gaze focused on Zhuge Lanshan, speaking loudly, his gaze finally landing on Xiao Ziyan, revealing a faint hint of greed. Gaining Xiao Ziyan meant acquiring a martial future, plus Xiao Ziyan herself was bound to join the Emperor Star Academy someday, and when that happened, wouldn't her husband rise with her?

Moreover, Xiao Ziyan, so young, had already been acclaimed as one of the three great beauties of Fengzhou City. Even without mentioning her talents, her beauty alone would incite desire in any man.

However, Tuoba Cheng's words quickly drew the attention of many people in the hall, causing a trace of coldness to flash in Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes.

She said: "I have something to attend to, so I'm leaving first!"
