35: Chapter 35 Someone's causing trouble?
Night.
Beizhou City, Tianhua Restaurant.
The interior of the restaurant was opulent, and dozens of banquet tables were already set up.
Guests were also arriving one after another.
The host of the banquet, Di Yun, was holding a red wine glass and chatting with the guests.
"I heard that North Emperor University produced a monster this year, is that true?"
"I heard it too. It seems he even crushed the sophomores and his points have surpassed Lin Youwei by a landslide!"
"It must be true. I even checked the North Emperor University forum. This person is named Li Fan, and he's extremely popular right now."
"Brother Di, did you see this Li Fan in the Secret Realm back then? Could you conveniently introduce us?"
Li Fan's name was clearly not limited to North Emperor University.
Even surrounding schools had heard of him.
Di Yun listened to the guests' discussions, and his mood was excellent.
Because this figure of controversy, Li Fan, would be arriving soon.
That would give him great prestige in front of these people!
...And on the other side.
Li Fan had already picked up Gu Ling and was heading toward the restaurant by car.
In the car, Gu Ling leaned against Li Fan's shoulder pretending to sleep, her face flushed and hot.
This was the first time she was attending a formal event as Li Fan's girlfriend.
Li Fan naturally noticed Gu Ling's shyness but didn't expose her.
Girls, especially girls who haven't dated before,
Their shy appearance is the most moving.
He truly didn't want to spoil the atmosphere.
Not long after.
The car successfully arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.
By this time, the entrance of the restaurant was already filled with various luxury cars.
Li Fan and Gu Ling getting out of the taxi made them look slightly out of place.
Just as Li Fan was leading Gu Ling out of the car and preparing to enter the restaurant.
Suddenly.
A young man smelling strongly of alcohol, accompanied by several men in suits, got out of a nearby luxury car.
"Move aside, move aside!"
"Don't block my way!"
The young man shouted, intending to push Li Fan and Gu Ling aside.
The young man's arrogant attitude displeased Li Fan.
The path was wide enough, yet he insisted on squeezing towards them. Wasn't this clearly looking for trouble?
He was about to do something when Gu Ling pulled him aside.
Gu Ling's intention was simple: it's better to avoid trouble if possible. Given the man's smell of alcohol, it was best not to provoke him.
For Gu Ling's sake, Li Fan didn't say anything more and directly cleared a path for the young man and his group.
But just as the young man walked past Li Fan and Gu Ling.
The young man's gaze couldn't help but be attracted to Gu Ling beside Li Fan.
"Oh, this little girl is quite pretty. Why don't you stop following this pretty boy who needs to take a taxi and come with me?"
"Do you know whose banquet this is? It's Di Yun's."
"Who is Di Yun? He's an S-Rank Talent Holder from North Emperor University, and he's my childhood friend!"
"Following me is equivalent to latching onto the high branch of Di Yun and the Di family!"
The young man looked at Gu Ling with a smile, completely ignoring Li Fan standing next to her.
After speaking,
The young man's hand unconsciously reached out towards Gu Ling.
But the next second.
"Ah!"
The young man instantly let out a miserable scream.
Looking closely, the young man's palm had been slapped away, and blood was splattering everywhere.
"Buddy, your hand is too restless. Want to try touching mine instead?"
Li Fan stood in front of Gu Ling, looking at the young man with a seemingly gentle expression.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
"How dare you touch my Young Master!"
The several men in suits nearby finally reacted to what had happened and moved to teach Li Fan a lesson.
"Kill him for me!" The young man roared and shrieked in pain, his forehead throbbing with veins.
But the next second.
The several men in suits were also knocked down, groaning on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the young man's face changed drastically.
These bodyguards were all Awakened Ones at level fifty!
How could they not even last one round?
Before he could recover from the shock.
A slap landed across his face.
"Pfft!"
Blood mixed with broken teeth, and the young man was sent flying several meters, looking utterly pathetic.
This scene attracted quite a few passersby to watch.
But Li Fan was clearly unaffected by the onlookers and walked straight towards the young man, preparing to strike again.
He never provoked others.
But if someone provoked him, he would definitely not let them off easily!
Seeing Li Fan pressing forward step by step, the young man was so frightened that he repeatedly begged for mercy.
However, begging for mercy seemed to have little effect in front of Li Fan.
He grabbed the young man by the collar and raised his hand to strike.
But what the young man said next made Li Fan pause his action.
"Brother Fan, I beg you, spare me! I will kowtow and admit my mistake!"
Li Fan frowned and said, "You know me?"
As soon as these words came out, the young man's face changed; he realized he had slipped up. Before he could explain, Li Fan continued his questioning.
"Who instructed you to come here?!"
Clearly.
If someone knew him and still came to cause trouble, it was highly probable that someone was instructing them from behind.
After all, if a normal person knew him, even if they didn't give Li Fan face, they would at least respect his title as the number one New Student of North Emperor University.
"I..." The young man frowned, hesitating to speak.
This person, he dared not name, because he couldn't afford to offend them.
"Is it He Wenguang?" Li Fan uttered a name at this moment.
Among the people he could think of,
Who would dare to send people to attack him and had a grudge with him? Other than He Wenguang, he could hardly think of anyone else.
The young man's pupils contracted upon hearing this, and he quickly shook his head repeatedly, "It wasn't him, it was someone else, but I can't say who!"
Li Fan's expression turned ugly, and then he slapped the young man again, sending him flying several meters.
That slight expression just now almost confirmed it was He Wenguang.
"Go back and tell He Wenguang that if he dares to lay a hand on me or anyone around me again, I will make him pay the price!"
After leaving this sentence.
Li Fan didn't look back and headed towards the restaurant with Gu Ling.
Gu Ling held onto Li Fan's arm. She hadn't fully recovered from the recent situation, but looking at Li Fan's profile, she felt a strong sense of security.
Meanwhile, Li Fan was extremely annoyed.
He hadn't expected He Wenguang to actually dare to retaliate.
Losing in the Secret Realm wasn't enough, huh?
If that's the case,
Next time they meet, don't blame him for not being polite!
Inside the restaurant.
A butler-like figure quickly walked over and whispered something in Di Yun's ear.
Di Yun's expression changed, and he hurriedly rushed downstairs.
Childhood friend?
How did he not know he had a childhood friend?
