"Uncle Yang is so handsome, even more handsome than Dad."

Next to him, Dawn also exclaimed with excitement.

"Really? Thank you for the compliment, Dawn."

Yang Yan smiled as he spoke to Dawn.

"It's good to tidy yourself up earlier, obviously a handsome guy, why insist on looking like a beggar?"

Qi Wutong looked at Yang Yan and said with a bit of reproach.

But everyone could tell that she was very pleased with Yang Yan's current appearance.

Zheng Peng and Wang Zifei exchanged glances quickly, each seeing a hint of relief in the other's eyes.

Although they knew that Yang Yan in this state would surely please the Phoenix Lady, there was still a sense of anxiety without her approval.

Nearby, Inclusion looked at the change in Yang Yan, his smile stiffening on his face, standing frozen.

After a while, he seemed to recover.

Then his expression turned extremely gloomy, his eyes flickering with cold light, and no one knew what was going through his mind at that moment.

Just as many people, regardless of gender, were staring at Yang Yan, the lights on the dance floor suddenly brightened.

The male and female hosts who disappeared after announcing the start of the banquet reappeared.

After they exchanged a series of words that Yang Yan considered nonsense, a solemn-looking middle-aged man walked onto the stage.

As soon as the middle-aged man took the stage, the audience fell silent.

Anyone who mixed in the Imperial Capital's circles would not fail to recognize the man before them.

Sun Wuxing!

An influential Hall Master within the Hongmen Hall, and one of the powerful contenders for the position of Hongmen Sect Leader, Sun Youwei's direct son.

If Sun Youwei succeeded, he would very likely become the next generation's Hongmen Sect Leader, promising a boundless future.

"Thank you all for gracing us with your presence today for my son Sun Jin and the Mo family's Mo Qinghong's engagement ceremony."

Sun Wuxing, a man of decisive action, had no time for small talk and went straight to the point as soon as he was on stage.

As he finished speaking, a young man walked up.

Yang Yan was somewhat surprised; he had seen this man before.

Wasn't this the guy who was staying in the room opposite his at the hotel?

It seemed that his subordinates had just been dealt with by him yesterday!

The young man was quite good-looking.

Especially today, after being spruced up, he looked like a university student still in school.

However, judging by his expression, it was clear he was displeased.

"Jin, come and meet these elders and relatives."

Sun Wuxing looked at Sun Jin and said in a commanding tone.

"Sun Jin greets the elders and relatives."

Sun Jin hesitated for a moment but still obediently cupped his fists toward those present.

It was clear he had received strict family upbringing; although unwilling, his every movement was generous and dignified, beyond reproach.

"Brother Wuxing, your son is indeed outstanding."

As Sun Jin finished speaking, a middle-aged man in the audience started complimenting him with a laugh.

"Haha! Brother Youran, you're too kind, too kind. This child still has much to learn from the Mo family."

After speaking, Sun Wuxing warmly patted Sun Jin on the shoulder and said:

"Silly boy, why are you still standing there? Quickly greet them!"

"Sun Jin greets Uncle Mo."

Sun Jin's smile visibly froze for a moment, and he bowed respectfully to Mo Youran.

"Haha! Calling him Uncle is fine for now, but in a few days, you'll have to change that."

Mo said with a laugh.

"Isn't that guy Guoguo's dad?"

Yang Yan glanced at Zheng Peng and asked with squinted eyes.

"Yes! That's Guoguo's dad, called Mo Youran, the Mo family's representative here in the Imperial Capital. This person holds quite a bit of authority in the Mo family."

Before Zheng Peng could reply, Ziqi interjected.

"I see... it's the first time I've seen Guoguo's father! He seems pretty decent. It's a pity that the matter with Guoguo wasn't handled very well."

Yang Yan glanced at Mo Youran with a meaningful smile on his lips.

"I'm curious, why isn't there any movement from the Cui family? Not a single person to be seen!"

Zheng Peng wore a sly smile, leaving one to wonder what tricky thoughts were brewing in his mind.

"I don't know what the Cui family will do, but someone is here, over there!"

Ziqi pointed with his chin toward a towering man in the distance.

"Damn it! Cui Jie? Why is he here?"

Prince looked in the direction Ziqi was pointing and was stunned.

Not only Prince, but Zheng Peng was also staring in astonishment at the tall man.

"What's going on? Is there an issue with him being here?"

Zhou Hanyun, nearby, asked puzzledly.

Although she didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, she couldn't help but be curious, seeing Zheng Peng and the others' expressions.

"It's not just an issue; it's a major issue!"

Zheng Peng couldn't contain his excitement and began to shout.

Prince also agreed with a nod:

"Among the older generation of the Cui family, four individuals are notably famous in the circle, each known for their literary and martial prowess. These four basically control the entire Cui family and occupy important positions in the military, political, and business spheres."

"Especially this Cui Jie, who is trained in martial arts, not the kind that deceives people with stage performances but a genuine master with ultimate skills!"

Zheng Peng sighed and said:

"Yes! If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be that surprising, but with Cui Jie here, it suggests that the Cui family plans to pull off a big move today."

"You must know, even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse; after all, the other side is Hongmen, and even if it's just a branch, it shouldn't be underestimated. Moreover, there's the Mo family. Tonight will certainly be an interesting watch!"

However, Ziqi, observing coldly from the side, lightly shook his head:

"They shouldn't make a move. After all, making a move would be a grave offense to both Hongmen and the Mo family. Cui Shuangtian alone isn't worth them taking such a step."

Upon hearing his words, the two who were eager to see a spectacle quickly calmed down.

Although reluctant to admit it, both knew that Ziqi was speaking the truth.

After all, the Cui family couldn't possibly go so far as to fatally offend two major forces over a junior.

Even if that person was the most promising heir in their family!

"Haha! That's not necessarily true!"

Yang Yan suddenly smiled and said.

Because he knew, if it were in the past, the Cui family might not bother offending Hongmen for Shuangtian.

But now, they should know Shuangtian's true strength and the forces behind him.

Just for these reasons alone, it's worth the Cui family making a statement, even if it means offending both Hongmen and the Mo family.

"Yanzi, is there something you and Shuangtian aren't telling us? A few years ago when you first came to us, you weren't like this!"

Zheng Peng looked at Yang Yan with confusion.
