After our homes were confiscated and we were exiled, the women in my clan and I raised a million sol

The moment Zhang Liang stepped into Wenyuan Pavilion, his eyes involuntarily wandered around, carefully examining every decoration.

The decoration here is truly extraordinary. Whether it is the exquisite wooden carved screens or the famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, they all reveal a sense of elegance and cultural heritage.

No wonder this poetry meeting was chosen to be held here. Such an environment will undoubtedly inspire the inspiration of literati and poets.

Just as Zhang Liang was immersed in this unique atmosphere, Liu Yu noticed his arrival and quickly came forward.

"Master, you are here."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Please follow me and I will take you to your seat."

Hearing this, Zhang Liang nodded politely, then followed Liu Yu's steps into the depths of the hall.

After passing several exquisitely carved wooden doors along the way, they arrived at a spacious and bright room.

There are several long tables and numerous chairs here, which are obviously carefully arranged to welcome the upcoming guests.

Judging from the scale of the venue, it can accommodate at least dozens of people to participate in the event at the same time.

Just as Zhang Liang and the others were walking towards their seats, some young men who had arrived early and sat down began to notice Qin Youlan and other girls following behind Zhang Liang.

When their eyes fell on these women, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in their eyes.

Especially the young man named Chu who was surrounded by the crowd, he was almost reluctant to take his eyes off Qin Youlan and the others for a moment.

A person nearby who seemed to have a good relationship with Master Chu saw what he was thinking and quietly leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Master Chu, what do you think of those women over there?"

Hearing this, Master Chu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and then replied: "Although they are wearing veils on their faces, just looking at their figures, you can tell that they are definitely rare beauties!"

After saying this, a hint of lust flashed in Mr. Chu's eyes.

As soon as these words came out, several men around him who looked like followers immediately echoed, "Yes, Master Chu, you are a talented man here. Not only are you talented, but you also come from a distinguished family. Why don't you go up and make your acquaintance? Perhaps we can create a beautiful story of a talented man and a beautiful woman."

Master Chu smiled slightly after hearing this, and seemed to be quite tempted by the idea. After all, he had never met a woman of such high quality.

Chu Xun weighed the options in his mind for a moment and finally made up his mind.

He slowly stood up and gently waved the exquisite fan in his hand, trying to attract the other person's attention with the most elegant posture.

Then, he walked towards Qin Youlan and the others with confident steps and stopped at a suitable distance.

"Several beautiful ladies."

Chu Xun spoke, his voice gentle but with a hint of refusing to be refused.

"My name is Chu Xun, and I'm honored to meet you."

After saying this, he put away the fan in his hand and bowed respectfully to the women.

Although he appears polite on the outside, his words reveal a self-righteous attitude.

Faced with this young man who suddenly appeared and blocked their way, Qin Youlan and others couldn't help but frown.

Out of politeness, they nodded slightly in response to his greeting and then decided to move on.

However, at this moment, Chu Xun suddenly reached out and tried to grab the hand of Zhao Ruoruo, who was closest to him, but the latter dodged it swiftly.

Chu Xun did not show any embarrassment or displeasure at such a reaction. Instead, he continued to smile and said, "Ladies, please stay. You haven't told me your names yet."

Throughout the process, although Chu Xun tried his best to show his grace and charm, his behavior made Qin Youlan and the others feel a little uncomfortable.

Especially when seeing him trying to make contact directly regardless of the other person's wishes, it further deepened everyone's impression of his frivolous nature.

When Qin Youlan saw Chu Xun's frivolous behavior, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

She lifted her foot and tried to walk around him, not wanting to waste any more words with him.

However, this scene made Chu Xun's smile freeze on his face in an instant.

He felt that his face seemed to be challenged. After all, in his opinion, his status and charm should be enough to make any woman fall for him.

Seeing this, several younger brothers standing behind Chu Xun immediately walked over and wanted to surround Qin Youlan and the others.

One of the lackeys said to Qin Youlan and the others, "You women are so ungrateful! Don't you know that Master Chu is from the Chu family of Guangping City? He's also a famous talent in our area! I'm just asking you a name, why don't you answer?"

Hearing this, Chu Xun's face showed a smug smile again. He looked at Qin Youlan and the others quietly, expecting them to show surprised expressions after learning his identity.

If these women lived nearby, they would know the Chu family's status here and make the best choice.

However, Qin Youlan and others did not show surprise or awe as he wished, but instead became more determined to leave.

This reaction made Chu Xun feel very embarrassed, and at the same time, it also caused an inexplicable anger to rise in his heart.

Just when Chu Xun was about to make a move on Qin Youlan and the others, Zhang Liang, who had been pulled away by Liu Yu to discuss something, finally noticed the situation here.

He immediately raised his foot and quickly walked to Qin Youlan and the others, looking at Chu Xun with sharp eyes.

"I think you are not a genius at all, but more like a street thug."

Zhang Liang said coldly, his voice full of disdain.

"Holding a fan and pretending to be refined only makes one look even more vulgar."

When he heard the voice behind him, a trace of anger flashed across Chu Xun's face.

He turned around and asked angrily, "Who is it? Who is talking?"

Zhang Liang smiled faintly and responded fearlessly, "I think you're not only disgusting, but you also have problems with your ears and eyes. I'm such a grown man standing here, and you can't even see it."

After hearing this, Zhong Xueqing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This laughter made Chu Xun, who already felt humiliated, even angrier, and his face turned ashen.

Zhang Liang ignored Chu Xun, whose face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, and instead looked at Qin Youlan and the others with concern. He then asked gently, "Sisters-in-law and sisters, are you all okay? Did those people do anything to you?"

Hearing this question, Qin Youlan and others shook their heads slightly, and slowly moved to stand beside Zhang Liang.

"Since everyone is fine, let's go first and ignore these people."

Zhang Liang continued, his tone filled with a hint of disdain and indifference.

"After all, as the saying goes, if a dog bites a person, can the person bite back?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them seemed to become much more relaxed. Qin Youlan and the others couldn't help but chuckle, and the originally tense atmosphere instantly eased a lot.

However, Chu Xun, whose face was ashen, clenched his fists and the expression on his face became increasingly ugly.

After all, what Zhang Liang just said was pointing at his nose and calling him a dog.

He winked at the lackeys around him, signaling them to block the way of Zhang Liang and his group.

Then, Chu Xun said sternly, "You just humiliated me like that, do you really think you can just leave like this?"

Facing the minions blocking his way, Zhang Liang's eyes flashed with contempt, and he responded bluntly, "What do you want to do to us? You guys are so unsteady and have dark circles under your eyes. You must have been to those brothels all the time! You think you can stop us when you're this weak?"

Hearing his words, the faces of the lackeys around Chu Xun darkened. After all, no man can tolerate someone saying that he is not good enough.

Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, one of the seemingly more clever followers quietly walked up to Chu Xun and whispered a few words: "Master Chu, this man in front of you seems to be one of the guests who came with Ning Gucheng's Liu family. If we create a grudge because of this, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to us..."

After hearing this, Chu Xun frowned, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

After a moment, he snorted coldly, waved his hand and asked his men to retreat, no longer stopping Zhang Liang and others from leaving.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang curled up his lips into a smile and left calmly with everyone.
