Gu Qianying seized the opportunity, smiling obsequiously, "What are you talking about? I really want to go. How envious others would be to be by the eldest young master's side."
Gu Qianying swiftly landed before Bai Yu Feng, her eyes filled with a smile, "Eldest Young Master, since I've already come, you can't possibly send me away, can you!"
Bai Yu Feng sneered, suddenly grabbing Gu Qianying's chin. His sword-like eyebrows lifted, and he threatened indifferently.
"If you want to go down, remember this: die down there if you must, but don't you dare call my name and disgrace me."
Gu Qianying pulled at the corner of her mouth, looking forward indifferently, and pointed downwards.
"I'm naturally tough, and no one can do anything to me, nor can the things down there. So, Eldest Young Master can rest assured, I won't disgrace you."
Bai Yu Feng smiled, "I hope so."
He had tested her multiple times before. Compared to the ferocious beasts below, Gu Qianying's appearance was far inferior.
He truly didn't believe it.
When Gu Qianying was threatened.
Could she still grit her teeth and endure?
As the sound of gongs and drums rose from below, the disciples who had gathered on the high platform spread their arms. Their spiritual energy surged, transforming into a vast aura, and they descended towards the cliff.
These were all the crème de la crème of the Sheng Yu family.
Apart from Bai Yu Feng, they were all influential figures within the family.
The first to arrive was Bai Xuan, Bai Yu Feng's cousin. Following closely behind was Bai Yi.
The spiritual energy and strength within these two could also rank among the younger generation.
After they landed, three more arrived: Bai Lin, Bai Xiaoxiao, and Bai Ziyun.
Bai Lin was Bai Yu Feng's second uncle, Bai Xiaoxiao was Bai Yu Feng's cousin, and Bai Ziyun was Bai Yu Feng's second cousin.
Although they were in the same family as Bai Yu Feng.
Their strength could not compare to his. Even though the aura around them rippled, causing the surrounding air to fluctuate.
Yet, with the talents of these few, they instantly bowed their heads before Bai Yu Feng.
The few gathered together, looking at Bai Yu Feng and Gu Qianying beside him, with amusement in their eyes.
"Look who it is? Isn't this our eldest young master?" Bai Xuan was dressed flamboyantly, like a peacock.
Bai Yi chimed in beside him, "And the person next to him, isn't this the servant who's the apple of our eldest young master's eye?"
The phrase "apple of his eye" was highly ambiguous.
However, everyone present heard it and burst into laughter, saying meaningfully, "Don't say that. Our eldest young master dotes on this person. If we mock him like this, he'll blame us!"
"Hahaha!"
Laughter erupted from several places.
The woman was filled with confusion. She glanced at the stoic Bai Yu Feng and whispered in a voice only they could hear, "Are they mocking me? What is this?"
Bai Yu Feng had also heard about this!
It was said that as the eldest young master of the Sheng Yu family, he had disregarded family rules and developed feelings for a man.
Their actions had been out of line, causing much discussion among everyone these days.
But as far as he was concerned!
He had always disregarded these so-called rumors.
Moreover, the so-called man in front of him was actually a woman, and she was so intriguing.
Even if they were tied together, he wouldn't care.
Seeing that he remained silent, Gu Qianying became anxious. She tightly grabbed his sleeve, "What are you doing? They're all slandering you like this, and as the eldest young master of the family, you have no reaction."
Bai Yu Feng shrugged and said with a smile.
"This is the truth, what reason do I have to refute it."
Gu Qianying was shocked, her hair standing on end, her face showing horror, "Are you crazy! Why would you say that?"
Bai Yu Feng pulled her away, indifferent and merciless, with a hint of teasing.
"We have no relationship between us. What's the point of you explaining further?"
Gu Qianying was about to retort, but upon hearing this, she was inexplicably convinced.
She nodded dazedly, awkwardly tugged at her lips, and agreed, "It's true, it doesn't matter much."
From then on, the two simply acted as if they hadn't heard anything and continued to stand calmly before everyone.
At this moment, the Grand Elder of the family had not announced the rules, nor had the forbidden area been opened. They could only stand there.
Bai Xuan and the others, seeing that Bai Yu Feng remained silent, sneered even more. He had always disliked Bai Yu Feng's demeanor, as if he didn't care about any of them.
He strode forward angrily.
"Are you not taking us seriously?"
Bai Yu Feng slightly raised his eyelids, turned around decisively, his indifferent back facing Bai Xuan.
This infuriated Bai Xuan, making his face flush red.
He was furious.
"Stop pretending in front of everyone. You're a queer, and you're involved with your attendant. Do you know? Your current appearance has brought great shame to our family."
The people behind him erupted in mocking laughter, "Don't say too much. After all, our eldest young master always does as he pleases. How could he possibly care about us?"
They had finally found an opportunity to mock Bai Yu Feng, and they wouldn't let it go.
And at this moment.
A different voice came from the corner, "That's not true. Don't talk nonsense. My brother isn't like that."
"He's not a queer."
Bai Yulan, with a flushed face, clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.
Everyone quickly turned their heads, and upon seeing the newcomer, they showed some surprise.
Bai Xuan frowned, not taking Bai Yulan seriously at all.
"You? A good-for-nothing in our Sheng Yu family, don't you dare say such things."
He pointed at Bai Yu Feng, "Your brother hasn't even spoken, so what right do you have?"
Facing this threat, Bai Yulan's body trembled.
As her spiritual energy was the lowest, she was often ridiculed and bullied within the family.
Bai Xuan was the most prominent among them.
Now, facing his sinister gaze, Bai Yulan felt even more afraid.
But she still raised her head stubbornly, enduring the pressure from everyone, and continued to speak word by word.
"No matter what! No matter what the relationship between them is, it has nothing to do with you. You have no right to speak."
Her gaze swept over everyone, and she continued to question, "I'd like to ask all of you, if you were slandered like this, could you remain calm?"
Bai Xuan sneered, his gaze shifting to Bai Yu Feng, his eyes filled with utter disdain, "But your elder brother doesn't seem to react much."
Before Bai Xuan could say anything more, Bai Yulan's voice came again. She stubbornly lowered her eyes, "You can't."
Gu Qianying had intended to be a bystander.
Since the matter wasn't true, what did it have to do with her?
But this second young lady was actually speaking up for him, which was truly novel.
As the person involved, Bai Yu Feng felt the place was extremely annoying, causing him great irritation.
He simply raised his hand.
With a wisp of spiritual energy, he covered his earlobe, blocking out the external sounds.
Seeing the situation on the field escalate again.
Just then, a figure suddenly rushed from the distance.
