After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 660  Shocked, Everyone Adores the Goddess Si (1)

Xiao Wenjian was naturally familiar with Gu Huiyan.

Of the three directors, Gu Huiyan was the most renowned figure in the Heaven Earth Alliance.

Gu Huiyan was known for his pride and high standards, seldom making public appearances except for occasional lectures at Great Xia University.

Now, he had also arrived here.

Gu Huiyan\'s shock was evident and matched Xiao Wenjian\'s, as he remarked, "Why are you here too? No, what are you doing here?"

More pressing was how Xiao Wenjian had arrived even earlier than him.

Despite him rushing straight from the airport, even a day ahead of schedule.

To ensure he made a grand entrance. He had brought a vase worth a billion from his office, meticulously packaged.

He was convinced it would sway Si Fuqing to join the Heaven Earth Alliance.

But who did he see here?

"Look at what you\'re saying. Whatever you\'re here for, I\'m here for the same reason," Xiao Wenjian responded without yielding, despite acknowledging the generational gap. "I was even planning to visit the Heaven Earth Alliance headquarters to convey greetings on behalf of my master. What a coincidence to run into Elder Gu here."

Gu Huiyan felt as if he was choking on old blood, "You... don\'t tell me you\'re here to poach from an old man like me!"

He had felt confident in his prospects, backed by the prestige of the Heaven Earth Alliance.

No other arts association could possibly outmatch him.

But the Thousand Army Alliance was different.

Equally ranked among the three families and four alliances, they stood on the same ground.

"Poaching?" Xiao Wenjian feigned surprise for a moment before catching on, "Elder Gu, may the best man win."

Gu Huiyan exploded, "Win what! I saw her first!"

At another table, Lin Bojian had become numb to the point of speechlessness.

Although he had never met Gu Huiyan, he recognized the name—one that even the leader of the Thousand Army Alliance respected. Who else could it be?

Lin Jihuan was curious, "Big brother, who are they? And why are they fighting over Qingqing?"

"That one is the leader of the Thousand Army Alliance," Lin Qingchen managed to gather himself, breathing slowly, then explained, "And this one is the director of the Heaven Earth Alliance; you might have heard the name Gu Huiyan."

Lin Jihuan\'s eyes widened, "The Thousand Army Alliance and the Heaven Earth Alliance?"

She had learned about the history of the three aristocratic families and four major alliances in middle school.

Wait, did they want Qingqing to leave the entertainment industry?

Lin Jihuan suddenly became alert.

Nearby, Xie Yu thought for a moment, "Mom, maybe you should go out there too? Show them there\'s another alliance here that can\'t be overlooked."

Xie Yanqiu gave him a sharp look, "Been abroad a few months and you\'re itching for trouble?"

Xie Yu immediately quieted down, obediently demure.

Gu Huiyan had noticed Xie Yanqiu as well.

He had encountered her during a rescue in the Southern State, aware she was one of the three chiefs of the Supernatural Management Bureau. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He had thought it was merely part of her official duties and hadn\'t paid it much mind.

Was she also here for Si Fuqing?

Why were so many important figures here all of a sudden?

And all from the three families and four alliances?

Gu Huiyan felt a profound loss of spirit, his eyes empty as he was ushered to a chair in the middle, utterly listless.

"Ah, Elder Gu, you\'re here," Si Fuqing entered with a tray. "You didn\'t tell me you were coming; I would have picked you up from the airport."

Gu Huiyan\'s heart ached, "Give me a moment to process this."

He had intended to surprise Si Fuqing, but instead, he was the one thoroughly startled.

Or rather, terrified.

Apart from Si Fuqing, Ye Zhenmian was the most composed, "My culinary skills are modest; please forgive any shortcomings."

Nian Tingchu followed her in, frowning slightly as his gaze quickly swept toward Xie Yanqiu and Xie Yu\'s direction.

Two Class A evolved beings.

As long as they were friends of Qingqing, there was no cause for concern.

The food was soon served.

Yun Fengzhi lowered his voice, "Your teacher is no ordinary person, eh? She knows the JI family, the leader of the Thousand Army Alliance, and even Elder Gu wants to take her as his disciple. Such connections..."

Unheard of, unseen.

Yun Fengzhi sighed, "I can see why your mom is so eager to adopt her as a stepdaughter."

If any family had such a daughter, they would be so lucky.

"I knew it already," Xie Yu clicked his tongue. "Do you know who designed all those blueprints my mom collects?"

Yun Fengzhi\'s forehead wrinkled with question marks.

Xie Yu added, "Teacher Si."
