Wang Ruoxie injured Zhang Yuan with a single punch, completely intimidating all the young members of the Su Family.

This shocking scene could even be said to have overturned their perceptions.

In their eyes, a useless person with no cultivation and a powerful practitioner with the Ninth Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm: there was no doubt that the latter could easily defeat or even kill the former.

However, the current result was that Wang Ruoxie, who had no cultivation, severely injured Zhang Yuan, who had the Ninth Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm, with just an ordinary punch.

At this moment, almost all the Su Family youths looked at Wang Ruoxie with eyes full of awe.

A strong person, no matter where they are, will be respected, but will also inspire fear.

This is naturally the result Wang Ruoxie wanted. The reason he severely injured Zhang Yuan with a single punch, with absolute power overwhelming him, was to completely intimidate these Su Family youths; or rather, he was making an example of one to warn the rest.

However, to avoid bringing trouble to Su Qingxue and Su Qiuling, he didn't go for the kill on Zhang Yuan.

Otherwise, with his current power, even without any cultivation, he could have easily killed Zhang Yuan outright with that punch just now by relying on his strong physique alone.

"I would really like to know, how do you feel now after being defeated by a useless person like me?"

Wang Ruoxie gave a faint smile in the direction of Zhang Yuan as he spoke.

Hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Zhang Yuan's face flushed a deep red, and then he was so infuriated that he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"How can this be a useless person? It's clearly a peerless genius, no, a prodigy."

The young members of the Su Family secretly thought to themselves.

Su Qiuling and Su Qingxue also stared at Wang Ruoxie in a daze, their eyes flickering with extraordinary sparkles.

What is a genius? This is what a real genius looks like, and a peerless genius at that.

One should know that Wang Ruoxie is currently injured and has lost his cultivation, yet even so, he still easily defeated Zhang Yuan, who had the Ninth Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm.

If he were to regain his cultivation, to what terrifying level would his strength reach?

"Wang Ruoxie, I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable. With you as a guard for Sister Qiuling and me, that guy surely won't dare to have any designs on us again."

Su Qingxue spoke in a low, excited, and joyous voice to Wang Ruoxie, who had returned to his original place.

"That guy?"

Upon hearing Su Qingxue's words, Wang Ruoxie raised his eyebrows slightly, then cast a puzzled glance at Su Qiuling beside him.

Su Qiuling's eyes showed a trace of bitterness as she slightly shook her head at Wang Ruoxie, seemingly not intending to explain.

"Haha... Qiuling, Qingxue, I didn't expect you two to be here. Could it be that you knew I was coming and came here to welcome me?"

Just then, a rather arrogant voice suddenly rang out.

"That guy is here again."

Hearing this voice, Su Qingxue furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, seemingly extremely displeased with the speaker.

Su Qiuling's eyes also showed a hint of disdain.

This made Wang Ruoxie more curious about what kind of person could make both Su Qingxue and Su Qiuling feel such aversion.

Immediately, Wang Ruoxie joined the others in turning around to look, only to see a group of over a dozen people quickly striding toward the square where they were.

The leader was a young man dressed in a white robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, appearing to be quite a handsome and graceful gentleman.

However, the way the young man gazed at Su Qingxue and Su Qiuling seemed to hold a strong lecherous intent, which made one inevitably feel disgusted.

As for the people behind the young man, they all exuded a murderous aura, suggesting that they were all his bodyguards.

"Who is this guy?"

Wang Ruoxie asked Su Qingxue in a low voice.

"His name is Gu Junyan, the son of Gu Wenshan, the Commander of Nanyang County…"

Su Qingxue replied with a look of disgust as she glanced at the young man.

Through Su Qingxue's introduction, Wang Ruoxie gained some understanding of this young man named Gu Junyan.

In the entire Nanyang County City, there were three ancient families, with the Su Family being one of them.

The other two were the Liu Family and the Gu Family.

Among them, the Gu Family was the most powerful because they not only had a millennium of legacy but also because the current patriarch, Gu Wenshan, was the Commander of Nanyang County and a first-ranked Prince of the Black Luo Kingdom.

It could be said that the entire Nanyang County was under Gu Wenshan's control, and he had the power of life and death over everyone.

More importantly, it was said that not long ago, Gu Wenshan broke through to the Essence Pill Realm, becoming the only Essence Pill Realm expert in the entire Nanyang County.

And Gu Junyan, being Gu Wenshan's most favored legitimate son, had a high chance of becoming the next patriarch of the Gu Family.

With such a formidable father, it wasn't surprising that Gu Junyan was extremely talented as well. At only twenty years old, he already possessed the Ninth Layer of Meridian Passage Realm cultivation, with strength reaching the level of a Half-Step Essence Pill, making him famous in Nanyang County, and even throughout the Black Luo Kingdom.

Since seeing Su Qiuling and Su Qingxue not long ago, Gu Junyan had been constantly harassing them and even declared his intention to marry both of them as his wives.

This infuriated the young men in Nanyang County who also admired Su Qingxue and Su Qiuling, but they dared not voice their anger openly.

In all of Nanyang County, no one dared to easily offend the son of the Commander, not even the young descendants of the other two ancient families.

If someone else were pursuing either of them, Su Qiuling and Su Qingxue might not necessarily consider it, but they wouldn't feel such displeasure.

However, Gu Junyan had the audacity to want both of them, hoping to enjoy their company simultaneously. Naturally, they would never agree to that.

Moreover, it was widely known in Nanyang County that Gu Junyan was naturally licentious and had harmed numerous young women.

This alone was enough to make Su Qiuling and Su Qingxue extremely disgusted with him.

No matter how cold Su Qiuling and Su Qingxue's response, Gu Junyan persisted, often shamelessly coming to the Su Mansion to bother them, making them exasperated.

If Gu Junyan were just an ordinary person, not the Commander's son, they would have thrown him out long ago.

"Qiuling, Qingxue, long time no see. I have missed you dearly."

Gu Junyan walked up to Su Qingxue and Su Qiuling, a wicked smile hanging on his lips as he said, "Have you two missed me?"

"No."

Su Qingxue glared at Gu Junyan and directly shook her head.

Su Qiuling completely ignored Gu Junyan, as if she hadn't heard him, still standing there with a cold demeanor.

Seemingly accustomed to the attitude of these two ladies, Gu Junyan didn't care in the slightest and smiled slightly, saying, "Today, I came intending to propose marriage to the Patriarch, asking him to betroth you to me."

"Gu Junyan, how shameless of you! Sister Qiuling and I do not like you, and we even detest you! Yet you still dream of marrying us; it is pure fantasy!"

Su Qingxue glared angrily at Gu Junyan as she spoke.

Su Qiuling also stared coldly at Gu Junyan, not saying anything, but her indifferent gaze still revealed the fury in her heart at this moment.

"Gu Junyan, your desire to marry the two ladies is preposterous. Not only do they disagree, but even we won't allow it, nor will this young master."

At this moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly pointed at Wang Ruoxie and said to Gu Junyan.
