Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 160 Gu Yuan: Junior, you've gone too far!

"Lei Dong, back then, you were probably just starting out as a Dou Zun!"

"How can I compare to Brother Gu Fei?"

Xun'er's question echoed in the main hall.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lei Dong, who had stood up, looked extremely ugly.

The two elders of the Lei Clan quickly looked at Lei Dong, worried that the hot-tempered Lei Dong would lose control of his temper and cause unnecessary trouble.

However, what Xun'er said does make sense. After all, when Gu Fei was the same age, Lei Dong had only just entered the Dou Zun realm, while Gu Fei had already reached the Nine-Star Dou Zun realm. Comparing the two, the difference in talent is immediately apparent.

At this moment, even Gu Fei couldn't help but glance at Xun'er again.

However, after recalling some of the things that had happened before, Gu Fei's mood gradually calmed down.

He really didn't want to have any more contact with such a fickle woman.

Who knows if she will treat me the same way she treated Lei Dong today?

Gu Yuan, Gu Lie, and the others were fully aware of Lei Dong and Gu Fei's talents.

But questioning someone in public seems inappropriate.

The Lei Clan came to the Ancient Clan to propose marriage with great sincerity, and they still had to consider the other party's feelings.

"Hehe, Xun'er, everyone has their own destiny. Some people start their cultivation slowly but then speed up, while others start quickly but then slow down. Everything is an unknown..."

"Lei Dong's future achievements may not be inferior to Gu Fei's. Moreover, the Lei Clan has come to our Ancient Realm as guests. What you are doing now is not how our Ancient Clan treats its guests."

Gu Yuan smiled and advised Xun'er not to act willfully anymore.

"Oh……"

Xun'er sat down again, glancing at where Gu Fei was.

Even though the hall was now in such a noisy state that it was almost an argument, Gu Fei, as one of the parties involved, was still sitting there drinking as if nothing had happened, and occasionally smacking his lips to analyze the taste of the wine.

Lei Dong witnessed all of this. He had been hailed as a genius since birth and had never suffered such an insult before.

Even though Xun'er was the one who started the trouble, he directed his anger at Gu Fei.

In his view, Gu Yuan's words just now were not in his favor.

He only said that because he was a guest and wanted to save face for ThunderClan.

He felt unacknowledged, which made him even more furious!

He looked at Gu Fei, who seemed indifferent to the matter, and his suppressed emotions suddenly erupted.

The next moment, he laughed loudly, "Clan Chief Gu Yuan is right... The path of cultivation involves manipulating fate. The future has not yet happened, so who can say for sure?"

"However, I am confident that since I am stronger than Gu Fei now, I will be stronger than him in the future. If he dares to spar with me, I will suppress my cultivation to the peak of Dou Zun today. I just don't know if he will dare to accept the challenge..."

At this point, Lei Dong turned directly to Gu Fei and sneered, "Gu Fei, you're not going to keep hiding like a coward, are you?"

"If all you do in your life is hide behind women and elders, you're destined to achieve nothing..."

"What's the use of having great talent? It's just like an eggshell that breaks at the slightest touch!"

Lei Dong's words were now pure provocation, and even Gu Fei, who was usually calm and collected, frowned at this moment.

The other party has already publicly insulted me. If I don't respond, I really won't be able to stand in the ancient clan anymore.

Gu Fei's eyes changed; his previous indifference vanished, replaced by a sharp look.

He looked at Lei Dong with a cold gaze, his aura no less imposing than Lei Dong's in his anger.

Just as Gu Fei was about to say, "If you want to fight, then fight! You don't need to suppress your cultivation!" a terrifying pressure swept through the hall.

"presumptuous!"

A calm voice rang out.

Although the words were spoken in a very calm tone, no one dared to disregard them.

The oppressive force contained in those two simple words caused everyone present to change their expressions, as if a heavy weight was pressing down on them.

Because the speaker was none other than Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the ancient clan.

Gu Yuan also agreed with Xun'er's words and always regarded Gu Fei as the future successor of the Gu clan. How could he allow outsiders to act like this on his own territory?

The Lei Clan were guests who came to propose marriage to Xun'er. Xun'er's firm refusal would be impolite, so Gu Yuan had to mediate to save face for the Lei Clan.

Lei Dong actually pointed at Gu Fei on the spot and angrily rebuked him. When did it become the Lei Clan's place to reprimand the people of the Gu Clan?

What's more, he was mocking and provoking the future successor of the ancient clan.

He has already given the Thunder Clan face.

Lei Dong's actions showed that he didn't take the ancient clan seriously at all.

Gu Yuan wouldn't tolerate such an impolite junior, especially since she wasn't his daughter.

Gu Yuan's aura was so powerful that even Zi Yan, who had unleashed the aura of a three-star Dou Sheng just two days ago, was like a child in front of him.

The two elders of the Lei Clan also realized that something was wrong. At this banquet between the two clans, Lei Dong's behavior was a direct provocation to the ancient clan. They quickly apologized and reprimanded Lei Dong.

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan, please don't be angry. Lei Dong is ignorant of etiquette. Please forgive him."

"Lei Dong is young and impetuous, competitive and foolish. That's why he said what he just said. It was just a dispute between juniors and he had no intention of disrespecting the ancient clan. Please forgive him, Clan Chief Gu Yuan."

"Lei Dong! Why aren't you apologizing to Clan Chief Gu Yuan right now!"

If Gu Yuan were to truly become enraged, the consequences would be unimaginable. The Lei Clan elders dared not test the dragon's might and quickly urged Lei Dong to apologize.

Lei Dong turned pale under Gu Yuan's powerful pressure. He felt as if a ferocious beast with its gaping maw was right in front of him, and he was inside its mouth.

The moment the other person closes their mouth, their fangs will tear them to pieces.

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan, please forgive me. Lei Dong was reckless just now!"

Lei Dong's face turned pale. He bowed and apologized, trying his best to suppress his will to prostrate himself before Gu Yuan so that he could still stand.

Faced with Gu Yuan's words, Lei Dong had no choice but to swallow his resentment.

Meanwhile, Gu Fei, another party involved, continued drinking after Gu Yuan spoke up. He didn't say a word from beginning to end, but people kept standing up for him.

……

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

After this incident, the banquet immediately became much quieter.

The Lei clan members drank silently, while Xun'er's gaze occasionally swept over Gu Fei, but Gu Fei never looked at her again.

Knowing that the marriage proposal was hopeless and had even angered Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu clan, the Lei clan elders stayed for a while longer before finding an excuse to take their leave.

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

The two elders of the Lei Clan hurriedly ended the banquet and left with the younger generation.

However, before leaving, Lei Dong couldn't help but glance at Xun'er one last time. Just then, Xun'er's gaze fell on Gu Fei. Seeing Xun'er's eyes, Lei Dong couldn't help but clench his fists.

"When I return from my trials in the Thunder Pool, I will prove to everyone who is truly the number one prodigy..."

As he left, Lei Dong clenched his fists, his gaze resolute.
