Golden Years Restaurant.

The crowd gathered around Gu Yuan and Zhao Qingqiu.

Some were indignant, some were resentful... a mix of emotions, all wanting to see what "unspeakable" secrets this couple held.

"Zhao Qingqiu, Goddess Zhao, let's talk this out. How did I offend you?"

Gu Yuan stood still, no longer dodging, and directly reached out and grabbed the former's fair wrist, his eyes filled with endless doubt.

"Let me go."

When someone grabbed her like that, a blush immediately appeared on her pretty face.

Then, she forcefully shook him off, gave Gu Yuan a resentful look, and continued,

"Didn't we agree on the phone that I'd pick you up? Instead, I ended up standing alone in the wind, feeling completely lost for an hour!"

"call."

Everyone gasped, their gazes towards the two carrying a strange, enigmatic quality.

"Pick me up? There's no reason for you to be so attentive; you must have ulterior motives."

Gu Yuan subconsciously looked at the other person carefully, not believing that the other person had so much free time.

Although they have a good relationship, they are far from being that familiar that she would personally come to pick them up.

"I was just worried you wouldn't be able to come since you just finished Taixu."

Zhao Qingqiu glanced at Gu Yuan, then suddenly burst out laughing, her eyes glancing down at a certain spot with a hint of amusement.

Gu Yuan's face immediately turned green, and a black line appeared on his forehead.

Dead memories suddenly began to attack his mind, and he became furious at the thought of her slandering him for using laser weapons to kill sperm.

But in the end, it all boiled down to a light, casual remark, with a faint smile on his lips: "Your guidance is still the best; we can continue tonight."

"abnormal."

Zhao Qingqiu rolled her eyes at the former and said angrily. She wanted to turn around, but when she saw the smile on the former's lips, she couldn't help but tremble, as if there was some big conspiracy.

"What are you laughing at?"

She asked, puzzled.

Gu Yuan did not answer, but simply gestured for him to look around.

Zhao Qingqiu's gaze swept over the crowd, and a look of shock immediately appeared on her pretty face.

Everyone present was staring at him, their expressions quite complicated.

"Have they... reached that point yet?"

"You all seem concerned about Gu Yuan's health. How long has this been going on?"

"How could this happen? Goddess Zhao personally gave instructions... I even heard some inappropriate remarks."

"We have to continue tonight... No! The sky is falling."

The crowd was whispering, but their voices could not be concealed and all reached Zhao Qingqiu's ears.

"what!"

The aloof goddess let out a sharp, explosive sound, her beautiful face turning red from her forehead to her neck, her chest heaving violently like surging waves.

"It's not what you think, this guy is using lasers... to kill... ugh, bastard, let me go."

Zhao Qingqiu realized something and quickly explained that what she said was very vague and that Gu Yuan was intentionally guiding her.

Everyone had the wrong idea, but they were immediately silenced by the former who covered their mouths.

"Don't you dare spread rumors and ruin my reputation."

Gu Yuan smiled while glaring at him threateningly, her expression slightly flustered. If word got out, even a lie would become the truth, and how could she face anyone then?

"Damn it, you big bastard, you deserve to die."

Zhao Qingqiu broke free from Gu Yuan's grasp and clung to his leg for a moment before she was satisfied.

However, she knew what was important and didn't say anything reckless. But to everyone else, it all seemed like a cover-up, and they all chuckled, giving her an "I understand" look.

"I'll let you off this time because of someone else, but if you dare to talk nonsense about me again, you'll be sorry."

Zhao Qingqiu brandished her fist and threatened fiercely, her eyes filled with anger.

Gu Yuan showed no mercy and tapped the former's fair forehead, causing her to stagger backward in pain, her beautiful eyes even welling up with tears.

It wasn't so much physical pain, but rather the emotional trauma that made him furious, his teeth grinding together in anger.

"I'll endure it, I'll endure it some more. After tonight, I won't have to see you, you despicable bastard."

The crowd joined in the commotion, instantly making the scene much livelier.

After the interlude, Zhao Qingqiu reverted to her aloof goddess demeanor, walked before the crowd, and announced in her captivating voice,

"I've invited you all to this gathering for two reasons: first, to catch up, and second, because someone has prepared very valuable gifts for you."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately perked up and stared intently at the former.

"Let's begin. I don't want to stay here a moment longer."

Zhao Qingqiu glanced meaningfully at Gu Yuan, then angrily turned her head away and stopped paying attention.

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened again, and a strikingly handsome man walked in. Many girls stared in disbelief, their eyes sparkling.

I learned from Zhao Qingqiu that his name was Zuo Jun.

"My young lady has prepared a mutated fruit for a destined person. Those who meet the criteria will be selected later and will receive it."

Zuo Jun spoke softly, his face radiating a gentle smile and a composed demeanor.

But to the ears of the crowd, it was like a thunderclap, and many people were so excited that their bodies trembled.

"A mutated fruit, a wondrous fruit that can help one embark on the path of cultivation!"

"Good heavens, what kind of nonsense is this from the Liu family? They're actually giving away this kind of fruit."

"You know, even if you have money, you can't buy this outside, but it's not an exaggeration to help people defy fate."

Exclamations of surprise rippled through the crowd as eager eyes were fixed on the glistening, bright red fruit on the tray.

They all knew that Goddess Liu came from a wealthy family, but they never expected her to be from such a background.

Even those who considered themselves quite capable, like Liu Qingyun, paled and crowded around him.

Especially since Liu Qingyun, being an extraordinary being, knew all too well the preciousness of this fruit.

"Damn it, it seems that Liu Luochen's power is far greater than I thought. I should have used any means necessary to win her over back then."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare fiercely at Gu Yuan, her knuckles turning white from clenching her fists. This was undoubtedly a loss of immeasurable wealth.

Gu Yuan glanced at the red fruit with curiosity, but he didn't really care about it.

The fat man beside him was extremely excited.

"Yuanzi, your chance has come. If you can obtain this fruit, you can also embark on the path of cultivation, and we can accompany each other."

Gu Yuan simply smiled at this.

On the stage.

Under Zhao Qingqiu's arrangement, the crowd lined up neatly to begin receiving testing.

Although ordinary people who eat this fruit have a 90% chance of becoming extraordinary individuals, it is still necessary to select the best of the best and examine their overall qualities, such as their skeletal structure, because it is extremely precious.

Even though there was only one, it still attracted everyone present, except for Lau Ching-wan who couldn't bring himself to do it.

Gu Yuan didn't want to queue up for the so-called test, but she couldn't resist the fat man's persistent pleading and ended up at the end of the line.

"no."

"Next."

"Not quite right, but a backup option."

.......

Zuo Jun tested each person and shook his head repeatedly. Those who were not selected looked disappointed but could only leave and watch from the sidelines.

"Gu Yuan?"

"You're Gu Yuan?"

Zuo Jun looked at the list in his hand and suddenly raised his head, staring intently at the tall figure in front of him, as if trying to see through him. His expression was quite amusing.

"What's up?"

Gu Yuan met his gaze with neither arrogance nor servility, showing no fear even though the other party was an extraordinary person.

"Your physical constitution is extremely poor; I never expected to find someone like you."

Zuo Jun spoke in a low voice, shaking his head dismissively, his eyes full of contempt.

"How could that be? You must be mistaken. Yuanzi used to be on the school basketball team. His physique is incredibly strong, and his natural talent is undeniable."

Before Gu Yuan could say anything, the fat man behind him couldn't help but interrupt.

Knowing the former's temperament, he was afraid that he would miss a great opportunity because of this, so he kept explaining.

"Are you the inspector, or am I?"

Zuo Jun exuded an imposing aura without being angry. His eyes glared at him, radiating a terrifying power, and his gaze was incredibly sharp.

"An extraordinary person!"

Everyone gasped in surprise; the handsome Zuo Jun before them was actually a genuine supernatural being.

The fat man suppressed his anger and forced a smile as he continued to plead, but was interrupted by Zuo Jun.

He turned his gaze to Gu Yuan again, his voice icy cold.

"Although you are a once-in-a-millennium scumbag, you are lucky to have met a good master. She ordered me to reward you with a mutated fruit."

With a chilling chuckle, he slowly took out another mutated fruit.

This one is fuller and more translucent, and you can smell its faint fragrance even from a distance.

"What, are you stunned by such a gift?"

Zuo Jun coldly scrutinized the person before him, as if he were a celestial being from heaven instructing mortals on their fate, arrogant and domineering.

"Is this your idea, or hers?"

At this moment, Gu Yuan's fists were clenched so tightly they were cracking, but his expression remained calm, though his voice was as cold as frost.

"Do you even know the difference between a god and a beggar? Take this and get out of here!"

Zuo Jun's face darkened completely. Since becoming an Outcast, no one had ever dared to question him like this.

Gu Yuan didn't speak, but looked at Zhao Qingqiu, who was silently watching everything from the side.

To everyone's surprise, she turned her back immediately. "He's actually a cripple... Damn it, at least the mission was completed."

Her voice was very low and almost inaudible, but it still reached Gu Yuan's ears.

Gu Yuan didn't react much to this, since the two only knew each other because of Liu Luochen.

He probably only contacted me before because of her.

It's normal to feel disgusted now that you know you're a "piece of mud"; the world is never short of people who are this realistic.

"If you don't take it now, I'm taking it back."

Zuo Jun looked at the dying old dog with undisguised mockery, his eyes gradually revealing a murderous intent.

Many people were angry, but most felt that Gu Yuan was ungrateful.

After all, a single humiliation can bring a lifetime of wealth, which is a good deal.

If given that opportunity, they would kneel down; dignity is meaningless to them.
