Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

uan Ying wore a silver mask over his right face, revealing a handsome left profile that invited the screams of the crowd.

Feng Lingxue’s pupils contracted.
It was him? Brother Ying?

So Xuan Ying was Brother Ying!

Brother Ying was the son of the South Duke!

She recalled the words that came out of her mouth that day in the Capital…

‘You don’t have money, status, or power.
What makes you think that you’re qualified to take me with you?’

‘If you’re the son of a duke, I’d willingly pleasure you.’

And he had said, ‘What makes you think the son of a duke would lay his eyes on a woman like you?’

‘Prostitute!’

Prostitute…

Feng Lingxue’s hands balled into two fists, the heavens loved toying with her.
It had been a mere three years since they last saw each other and he had already transformed to become the Silver Mask King, wielding so much power.

As though they were telepathic, Xuan Ying who was downstairs lifted his head to glance over in her direction with those inky eyes.

Those inky eyes that were cold and chilling.

“Ah!”

She heard some shrieks, the socialites beside her were all about to faint from the excitement of seeing Xuan Ying looking in their direction.

Feng Lingxue’s limbs felt cold, she saw Xuan Ying looking at her, slowly raising the corners of his lips into a sardonic smile.

‘Feng Lingxue, the game begins now.

…

After Xuan Ying made his appearance, Feng Lihen appeared shortly after.
But Lu Yeming and the only female, Ye Ruge, hadn’t appeared.
They were set to appear at the banquet.

Ever since Country Z’s president Jun Mosheng’s passing, the power had fallen to the vice president, Lei Ze’s hands, but Jun Chulin wielded control over the military, becoming the highest ranking commander.
With the Jun and Zhu families’ decades of friendship, the Jun family helped the eldest young master of the Zhu family, Zhu Qing, become the new president of Country Z.

Zhu Qing and the third miss of the Jun family, Jun Xiqing had a friendship formed from childhood.
Before Jun Mosheng passed away, he had personally betrothed Jun Xiqing to Zhu Qing.

As Jun Xiqing was Zhu Qing’s fiancée, she was the future first lady.

This grand banquet was their engagement party.

…

At the party.

Gu Mohan held a glass of red wine in his hand, looking at Xuan Ying, who stood not too far away.
Xuan Ying was talking to Zhu Qing and those socialites looked at him with admiration and slight infatuation.

Turning around, Gu Mohan looked at Feng Lingxue.
“Xuan Ying only returned to the Xuan family three years ago and used brutal measures to rise through the ranks.
His path towards success is fully stained with fresh blood, he’s not a force to be reckoned with.
He took only three years to be on par with Lu Yeming.
Everyone knows him as the Silver Mask King instead of the son of the South Duke.

“Perhaps, we have to see the West Duke compete against the Silver Mask King.
The one who defeats the other would emerge as the victorious king.”

Feng Lingxue looked at Gu Mohan impassively.
“Why are you telling me this?”

From his peripheral vision, Gu Mohan could see Xuan Ying approaching them.
Taking two steps forward, Gu Mohan leaned down to talk to Feng Lingxue, making it appear like he had something going on with Feng Lingxue.

“As your ally, I have to remind you to not get too close to the Silver Mask King.
I’ve heard from my sources that the Silver Mask King is not a normal person.
He’s a sinister being, really vile and dark inside and will not hesitate to use violence.

“I can tell from his gaze that he is both ambitious and unruly.
Also, I can see he has much… hatred towards you.
I really hope that you can live on well, don’t let yourself be ruined by him.”
