Back on Earth, I am the only cultivator.

"My God! Isn't that Young Master Li Wen?!"

"The eldest son of the Li family?! The vice president of the Li Group?! This is truly a top-tier wealthy family in our city!"

"My goodness, Zhang Wei is worlds apart from Li Wen; he's not even worthy of carrying Li Wen's shoes!"

"Why would he come in person? Is it because of the vandalism at Tianyue Mansion?"

Everyone held their breath, their faces filled with shock.

In Mencheng, the Li family is like heaven and earth. A single word from Li Wen can even determine the economic direction of Mencheng for the next few years!

However, to everyone's astonishment, Li Wen quickly approached Wu Fan.

Without any hesitation, the usually aloof and powerful young master of the Li family, who was a force to be reckoned with in the business world, immediately bent his knees and knelt down in front of Wu Fan with a thud.

His forehead was pressed against the floor, and his words were firm and resolute:

"Please forgive me, senior! It was my negligence that allowed these ignorant ants to offend you! Please calm your anger and give me a chance to atone for my mistake!"

This scene left everyone in the banquet hall speechless, their mouths agape, their jaws nearly dropping to the floor in shock.

The eldest son of the Li family knelt down before Wu Fan?!

He even referred to himself as a junior and called Wu Fan "senior"?!

What on earth is going on?! What has Wu Fan been doing for the past ten years? How could he make the heir of a top family in Mencheng kneel down and beg for mercy like a dog?!

Zhang Wei, who had fallen to the ground, was completely stunned.

His body froze on the spot, and the resentment in his eyes was swallowed up by endless fear in that instant.

This must be a nightmare!

"This can't be, absolutely can't be, this must be a dream! I need to wake up! Please let me wake up!!"

Zhang Wei muttered in near collapse, then suddenly raised his hands and frantically slapped himself in the face.

"Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!"

The crisp sound of slaps echoed through the banquet hall.

The students around Zhang Wei, who was now frantically harming himself, no longer had the fawning in their eyes, but instead looked at him with deep contempt.

"What a madman. He always acts all high and mighty, but now he's a complete disgrace."

"Exactly! He brought it on himself by provoking Wu Fan. Look at Wu Fan, even Young Master Li has to kneel down and speak to him. That's a true god!"

"Zhang Wei just tried to introduce Wu Fan to a job cleaning toilets. What a ridiculous joke! Who does he think he is?"

Amidst the jeers, Jiang Chuxue's expression gradually shifted from initial shock to a strange emotion.

She stared blankly at the young man in his high school uniform beside her. His posture was still as upright as it had been back then, but there was a sense of indifference between his brows. He remained unmoved by the kneeling of the eldest son of the Li family.

This absolute sense of security was like a warm current, melting the ice and snow that had been accumulating in her heart for so long. A layer of watery light appeared in Jiang Chuxue's beautiful eyes. She subconsciously leaned closer to Wu Fan, her warm shoulder pressed against his arm, her fingers twitching slightly as if she wanted to grab the hem of his clothes, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

The man who had disappeared for ten years not only did not die, but reappeared in her world in a godlike manner.

Wang Hao, standing next to Wu Fan, was so shocked by what he saw that his mouth dropped open.

But he quickly realized what was happening. Looking at his imposing brother, Wang Hao couldn't help but grin, patted Wu Fan on the shoulder, and exclaimed excitedly:

"Holy crap! Brother Fan! You're amazing! I've really seen something new today following you!"

Wu Fan smiled slightly as he looked at the excited Wang Hao.

Then, he turned his head, looked at Li Wen who was kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up, and waved his hand indifferently:

"Alright, get up. It's not your fault."

"Thank you for your kindness, senior!" Li Wen felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly stood up, bowing his head and standing obediently to one side.

Wu Fan pointed to Wang Hao beside him and introduced him to Li Wen:

"This is my best buddy, Wang Hao. I'll need your help looking after me in Mencheng from now on."

Li Wen's expression hardened, and he immediately bowed slightly to Wu Fan, respectfully stating:

"Please rest assured, senior. From this day forward, Mr. Wang will be the most honored guest of the Li family! Anyone who dares to lay a finger on Mr. Wang is an enemy of the Li family!"

After speaking, Li Wen took out a specially made card, presented it to Wang Hao with both hands, and said respectfully:

"Mr. Wang, this is our Li family's Supreme Black Card. With this card, you can freely consume at all businesses under the Li family's umbrella, and we will provide you with the best service. Please accept it, Mr. Wang."

The card was entirely black, with pure gold thread inlaid along its edges, gleaming luxuriously under the light—a symbol of the highest privileges in the city!

Seeing that the dignified Young Master Li was being so polite to him, Wang Hao was momentarily at a loss for words and could only scratch his head with an awkward smile.

"This is too valuable, Brother Fan, can I accept it?"

"Take it, it's from him, just keep it," Wu Fan said with a smile.

Wang Hao didn't hesitate and said:

"Thank you so much, Brother Fan! Thank you so much, Young Master Li!"

Wang Hao happily accepted the black card, feeling as if he were dreaming.

Wu Fan glanced around, feeling somewhat bored, and then spoke indifferently:

"Alright, handle the rest of this yourself. I don't want to see any further trouble."

Li Wen immediately bowed and accepted the order, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:

"Yes! I understand. I will handle it thoroughly and leave no trace!"

After explaining everything, Wu Fan reached for a can of iced cola at the dining table.

Then, he naturally took Jiang Chuxue's soft little hand with his other hand.

The moment Wu Fan grasped her hand, Jiang Chuxue's delicate body trembled slightly. The warmth from his palm made her face flush slightly, but she did not resist and let Wu Fan pull her along.

"Come on, I'll take you to a quiet place."

Wu Fan looked at her and said gently.

"Um."

Jiang Chuxue lowered her head and responded softly.

Under the complex gazes of the crowd, Wu Fan, holding a can of cola in one hand and Jiang Chuxue's hand in the other, slowly walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
