156: Xun'er feels a little superior!

On a beautiful mountain peak within the Gu Family.

This was the reception area arranged by the Gu Family for guests. In the pavilion at the center of the peak, several silver-clad youths attracted a lot of attention.

These youths were all dressed in silver, looking radiant. Their silver attire shone brightly under the sun, like the lingering trails of lightning streaking across the sky, faintly emitting terrifying thunderous energy, giving them an air of authority without needing to express anger.

And these youths all hailed from the Lei Family.

“Lightning-attributed Dou Qi is truly overbearing!”

“Indeed, even Big Brother Qingyang lost to Lei Dong.”

“Has the Lei Family already reached such a level?”

In the main hall, many Gu Family youths discussed amongst themselves, holding a sense of awe towards these youths from the Lei Family.

Especially towards the one who led them.

In their eyes, there was even some admiration; this was a natural emotion towards the strong.

This person was none other than Lei Dong, the number one Prodigy of the Lei Family’s younger generation!

“Big Brother Lei Dong, this Gu Family is hailed as the strongest Ancient Race, but the strength of their younger generation is nothing to boast about!”

One person beside Lei Dong spoke with flattery.

“That’s right, looking across the Ancient Eight Clans, who can compare to Big Brother Lei Dong!”

“Even among all Ancient Races, Big Brother Lei Dong is the number one Prodigy!”

“What Gu Family, what Hun Clan, they will all be trampled under Big Brother Lei Dong’s feet in the future!”

“Alright, we are currently guests of the Gu Family. Speaking such blunt truths will make us seem impolite…”

The man named Lei Dong spoke. From his tone, it was clear that he did not hold the Gu Family’s younger generation in high regard.

“You!”

Upon hearing Lei Dong’s words, some Gu Family youths immediately turned red with anger. But then they thought, their own talents indeed weren’t as good as theirs. Were they just going to be humiliated like this?

With Lei Dong backing them, the other Lei Family Disciples treated the Gu Family youths with even greater disdain.

“I heard that the strongest in the Gu Family is Gu Fei, and he’s also Young Miss Xun'er’s former husband. I wonder what his strength is like?”

“Does that even need thinking? Big Brother Lei Dong only needs one finger to deal with Gu Fei.”

“Isn’t one finger too much? Big Brother Lei Dong is a Half-Saint; anything below Half-Saint is annihilated in a single thought!”

The surrounding Lei Family Disciples openly insulted Gu Fei, but Lei Dong frowned slightly, his expression somewhat displeased.

“Gu Fei…”

He softly murmured the name in his heart, his eyes carrying a hint of amusement and disdain, but more so, a touch of jealousy.

He knew that Gu Fei was Xun'er’s former husband, Xun'er’s first husband.

After all, they had the title of husband and wife, and in daily life, it was inevitable… Thinking of this, Lei Dong’s gaze turned colder for a few moments, but then softened the next second.

Fortunately, he already knew that although Xun'er had been married, she was still pure.

Lei Dong had once been fortunate enough to meet Xun'er’s gaze. At that time, Xun'er’s clear and bright eyes, and her beauty that could make the world dim in comparison, gave Lei Dong a feeling of a thousand years in a single glance, deeply enchanting him.

So, even though Xun'er had been married once, he didn’t care at all.

As long as he could be with Xun'er, everything would be enough… “Xun'er, I heard that Lei Dong is completely devoted to you. You are truly blessed!”

“Becoming a Half-Saint at such a young age, and also the heir to the Lei Family Clan Chief, if you marry him, you will be the Clan Chief’s wife in the future!”

“The Lei Family Clan Chief’s wife, what an honor that would be!”

Xun'er had also received news of the Lei Family envoys’ arrival and knew the purpose of their visit, but she had never paid it any mind.

She had just heard some women in the Family express envy towards her, but Xun'er found it irrelevant.

Indeed, reaching the Half-Saint-Grade at thirty years old was already a rare Genius.

But in Xun'er’s eyes, this talent was nothing special. At least compared to Gu Fei, Lei Dong was inferior to Gu Fei.

Age was an unchangeable chasm. No matter how strong Lei Dong was, he couldn’t change the fact that he was thirty years old.

But Gu Fei was only twenty-two this year; Lei Dong was seven or eight years older than him.

With a gap of seven or eight years, only such a small difference in strength was achieved. Xun'er felt that with Gu Fei’s talent, he would certainly achieve more than Lei Dong when he reached the same age.

In fact, it wouldn’t even take that long.

“When I was in secluded cultivation, he was already a Four-Star Dou Zun. Now that I have stepped into Dou Zong, I imagine he won’t be too weak either!”

Xun'er unconsciously clenched her fists, her heart wishing to compete with Gu Fei.

Of course, Lei Dong’s proposal this time did give Xun'er a sense of superiority: “You have excellent people pursuing you, and I am no worse…”

… “The people from the Lei Family are a bit arrogant!”

“What can we do about their arrogance? We can’t possibly ask the Family Elders to step in and teach them a lesson just because of a sparring match between the younger generations, can we?”

“We are indeed inferior in skill.”

Gu Qingyang wore a helpless smile on his face, and Gu Yao and Gu Zhen, Great Commander beside him also looked disheveled.

Occasionally, Lei Family Disciples would pass by, and they felt too embarrassed to meet their gaze.

It turned out that when the Lei Family’s younger generation first arrived at the Gu Family, they declared that they wanted to spar with the Gu Family youths and boasted that they had no rivals in the Gu Family.

The Gu Family youths were also Prodigies, and this was their home turf. Being humiliated like this, how could they possibly swallow their anger?

Thus, a large number of Gu Family youths swarmed out to spar with the Lei Family Disciples.

Gu Yao, Gu Qingyang, and other top Prodigies also came to show support, not wanting the Gu Family to lose face.

Initially, it was ordinary Disciples from both Families sparring. Both sides had wins and losses, fiercely contending, which was quite entertaining, and the entire scene was filled with sounds of intense confrontation.

This situation only lasted until Lei Dong appeared, then it vanished completely.

Lei Dong arrived as a Half-Saint, completely sweeping away the young talents of the Gu Family. A Half-Saint, after all, bore the title 'Saint', and a group of Dou Zuns were simply no match.

Seeing that none of the Family Disciples could resist, Gu Qingyang, as the strongest person present, could only bite the bullet and step forward.

The outcome was, without suspense, Gu Qingyang had no chance of winning against a Half-Saint and suffered a miserable defeat.

“Even you lost… who else can be his opponent?”

Gu Zhen, Great Commander sighed and shook his head.

“Are we, this generation of Gu Family youths, going to be completely trampled underfoot by the Lei Family Disciples?” Gu Yao looked at the smug Lei Dong, who was enjoying the cheers, his heart filled with unwillingness.

The expression in Gu Qingyang’s eyes constantly shifted, and after a long while, it suddenly cleared a bit.

“Perhaps there is one person who can help us regain our face!” Gu Qingyang said.

“Who?” Gu Zhen, Great Commander asked in confusion.

“Gu Fei!”

Upon hearing this name, everyone suddenly showed an enlightened expression.

Gu Fei usually disliked showing off, but his strength was evident to all.

He had defeated Gu Qingyang to become the Seventh Commander.

Later, he even challenged his way up, directly becoming the Grand Commander of the Black Annihilation Army.

Gu Fei was truly the undisputed number one among the Gu Family’s younger generation.

“I wonder if Gu Fei can defeat Lei Dong!” Gu Qingyang’s eyes held anticipation, hoping that Gu Fei could reclaim the Gu Family’s honor.
