The young man and woman dancing in the center of the dance floor moved in sync, their movements were graceful and full of youthful vigor.
Many people looked down on Gao Zhengyang's background, but they had to admit that Gao Zhengyang's dance was impeccable. He was even comparable to a professional dancer.
Gao Zhengyang was not a very handsome man, but his facial features were well-defined, his posture was tall, and his eyebrows were full of confidence. When he was with Xu Xu, they were a perfect match.
The feeling of compatibility between the two of them was clearly transmitted to everyone.
Many people could not help but think, 'They're a match made in heaven!'
Xu Chunqiu and Zheng Xiuxia were very picky, but they could not see anything wrong with Gao Zhengyang. At least, in terms of performance, the young man was very outstanding. The rarest thing was that he was a good match for Xu Xu.
Xu Xu's relaxed body movements and the joy that bloomed from the bottom of her heart showed that she really liked this young man.
The more she acted like this, the more worried Xu Chunqiu and Zheng Xiuxia became. Xu Xu was still too young, and she did not understand the cruelty of life.
Dating was a matter between two people, and marriage was a matter between two families.
Their statuses were too far apart, which meant that their values and worldviews must be different. As time went on, all kinds of contradictions would inevitably arise.
In this regard, Xu Chunqiu and Zheng Xiuxia were very clear about this. A match of equal social status might not necessarily lead to happiness, but it was the foundation of a long-term and stable marriage.
Although the two did not speak, they were already thinking about how to break up the young couple.
Xu Xu also understood her parents' personalities, so she could tell what they were thinking at first glance. She could not help but smile bitterly. Every time she thought about Gao Zhengyang's unpredictable power that could control a person's life and death, she felt that it was respectable and terrifying.
Unless Gao Zhengyang was willing, no one would be able to break him and Xu Xu apart.
What was more worrying was that if they angered Gao Zhengyang, there would be a lot of trouble.
"You're hesitating, what's the matter?"
Zheng Xiuxia knew her daughter very well, so she asked when she saw that Xu Xu's expression was not right.
Xu Xu said awkwardly, "Mom, it's very complicated, let's talk about it later."
Xu Ming said disapprovingly, "Isn't he just a middle school student? Is there a need to be so mysterious?!"
"Gao Zhengyang is very different. He already has extraordinary power."
Xu Xu did not want her family to misjudge, so she revealed the most important information.
"Extraordinary power!"
Xu Chunqiu, Zheng Xiuxia, and Xu Ming were all stunned. They truly understood the meaning of this word.
"A seventeen-year-old Transcendent …"
Xu Chunqiu pondered. This meant that Gao Zhengyang still had room for improvement. His future was limitless.
Although the Xu Family was a wealthy family in Shang Jiang, they did not have their own Transcendents. Of course, with their status, they would not be afraid of ordinary Transcendents.
No matter how strong a Transcendent expert was, he was just a powerful individual. In a complicated society, no Extraordinary could break away from the shackles of social relations.
However, to a grand family, having a powerful Extraordinary Being was like having a treasured sword. It was not necessary to use it to hurt others, but it could be used to deter enemies and protect oneself.
From this point of view, bringing Gao Zhengyang into the Xu family was not unacceptable.
At Xu Chunqiu's age and status, he had to be very rational and realistic when considering problems. He would not allow his emotions to influence his judgment.
Zheng Xiuxia's considerations were different from Xu Chunqiu's. She was more concerned about Xu Xu's future. She frowned. "This kind of person is not suitable for marriage and children!"
Xu Ming added, "Transcendents are all self-righteous and like to challenge order. Just by looking at Gao Zhengyang, you can tell that he is definitely not someone who will abide by the rules. I strongly disagree. "
Xu Chunqiu waved his hand. "Today is Xiao Xu's coming of age ceremony, let's not talk about this …"
"Your mother-in-law is not very satisfied with you, and brother-in-law …"
Moon Breeze's divine sense was so powerful that no one's actions could be hidden from her. After observing the Xu Family's reaction, she immediately reported it to Gao Zhengyang.
She was also very curious about how Gao Zhengyang would deal with this kind of thing.
Gao Zhengyang did not say a word, as if he did not hear anything. In fact, he really did not care about the Xu Family's reaction.
He only liked Xu Xu, and it had nothing to do with the Xu Family or anything else. Since it had nothing to do with him, why should he care?
Gao Zhengyang was very self-aware, he was different from everyone else. Power, money, reputation, everything in this world did not have much attraction to him. His goal was to transcend, to become immortal.
"Young lady, you're very bold …"
Gao Zhengyang did not respond to Moon Breeze, but teased the girl in his arms.
Xu Xu was a little shy at first, but with Gao Zhengyang's tacit cooperation, she gradually relaxed. She was also able to respond quickly to Gao Zhengyang's teasing.
She blinked her big black eyes and said mischievously, "Young man, you're very bold!"
Gao Zhengyang could not help but laugh. The girl's lively smile, the faint fragrance of her body, the smooth touch, and the quick answer would solidify into a memory that would forever be left in his heart.
At this moment, life was so simple and beautiful that he was simply intoxicated.
He pursued eternal life just to witness and experience these beautiful things. Without these, his long life would be so boring and dark.
Moon Breeze, however, was not tactful and said, "Li Jiang is ready to find someone to kill you, but Shi Yunxuan chose to stand by and watch."
Gao Zhengyang said to Moon Breeze with his Divine Consciousness, "We'll talk about these boring things later."
After the dance, Xu Xu held Gao Zhengyang's hand and returned to her parents.
"Dad, Mom, this is my classmate, Gao Zhengyang."
Xu Xu formally introduced Gao Zhengyang to her parents. She pretended to be calm, but her hand that was holding Gao Zhengyang's was sweating.
Zheng Xiuxia could tell at a glance that her youngest daughter was feeling guilty. She did not like Gao Zhengyang, so she nodded seriously.
Xu Chunqiu did not want his daughter to look bad, so he smiled generously. "Little Gao, welcome to Xiao Xu's coming of age ceremony."
Gao Zhengyang nodded and greeted them politely. "Hello, Uncle and Auntie."
The Moon Breeze couple watched from the side with a smile. Gao Zhengyang, who had dominated the heavens and realms, was also able to put on such an obedient look. It was really hard on him.
In Lan Xing's words, he was really a drama queen!
Xu Chunqiu and Gao Zhengyang chatted for a while, and his impression of Gao Zhengyang improved. Although this young man had an obsessive self-confidence, he was not annoying. On the contrary, there was an indescribable charm in his words and actions, which was completely different from ordinary young men.
However, his identity was different, so it was not appropriate for him to say too much to Gao Zhengyang. After chatting for a while, Xu Chunqiu brought his wife and Xu Xu to meet the distinguished guests.
The grand coming of age ceremony was also to increase Xu Xu's connections. At least in the future, the upper echelons of Shang Jiang would know Xu Xu.
After Xu Xu left, Xu Ming stopped Gao Zhengyang. "I heard that you're Elder Sun's disciple?"
"Yes."
Gao Zhengyang looked at Xu Ming, meaning to ask him what was the matter.
Xu Ming said seriously, "When I was young, I also learned under Teacher Li Guishan of Xingyi for a few days. I've also heard of Elder Sun's name. If there's time, let's spar … "
A seventeen-year-old Transcendent Master was a little shocking. Xu Ming believed in Xu Xu, but he did not quite believe that Gao Zhengyang was a Transcendent Master.
He had practiced all kinds of fighting skills and was proficient in all kinds of weapons. Although he was not as good as a Transcendent Master, he was not too far off. He felt that it was necessary to test Gao Zhengyang's real level.
Gao Zhengyang rejected him seriously. "I don't spar with others."
Xu Ming laughed. "You're not going to say that martial arts only kill people and not perform, are you?"
Many people who practiced martial arts relied on their mouths to survive. When it came to a real fight, they would say that they only kill people and not perform. There were many people like this, and over time, this sentence became a joke.
Xu Ming thought that Gao Zhengyang was trying to shirk his responsibility, so he felt even more disdainful.
Gao Zhengyang shook his head. "Of course not."
Xu Ming said impatiently, "Men should be straightforward with their words. What's the point of stuttering like a girl!"
Xu Xu was a little nervous as she was afraid that the two of them would start a conflict. She explained to Gao Zhengyang, "My brother doesn't mean any harm, he's just curious about Tai Chi."
Gao Zhengyang glanced at Xu Xu. This detective was not good at lying.
He said to Xu Ming, "Since you said so, I'll be frank. I don't spar with others because no one is qualified to spar with me. Have you ever seen a tiger spar with a rabbit? That's all. "
Xu Ming's mouth opened and closed, but he did not say anything. This was the first time since he became an adult that he felt that his brain was not enough and he did not know how to react.
While Xu Ming was still in a daze, Gao Zhengyang nodded slightly. "I still have something to do, I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, Gao Zhengyang left on his own, leaving behind an enraged Xu Ming.
Xu Ming looked at Gao Zhengyang's back and really wanted to drag him back and beat him up. However, there were so many people there and he had a different identity, so it was not good to do so.
He asked Xu Xu, "Does this kid always talk like this?"
Xu Xu held back her laughter and said, "He's always like this."
"He's actually not beaten to death after living for so long!"
Xu Ming was amazed. Gao Zhengyang's words were really infuriating. He wondered who taught him that.
Xu Xu finally could not help but laugh. "Yes, I'm also very curious about this. However, he's still alive and kicking, so it's obvious that he's really capable. "
This logic was very reasonable and very convincing. Xu Ming could not help but agree.
Gao Zhengyang, who had just left the siblings, was soon stopped by Gu Tao and his men.
Gu Tao snapped his fingers and said to Gao Zhengyang, "We had a small misunderstanding just now, but it's okay. I really admire you, so we're friends from now on."
Xue Lifeng, Gu Lingzhi, Xu Jie, and a large group of second generations stood behind Gu Tao, as if he was their leader. This also made Gu Tao look very imposing.
When a group of second generations gathered together, it was indeed very powerful. Especially when it came to doing bad things, they were all experts.
In the previous two conflicts, most of them were just there to watch the show. No one really wanted to make a move.
However, Gao Zhengyang was too high-profile just now, and he actually danced with Xu Xu. Before this, many second-generation heirs had been rejected. This also caused Gao Zhengyang to attract enough hatred.
This time, everyone stared fiercely at Gao Zhengyang, like a group of wolves surrounding a sheep.
Gao Zhengyang pushed Gu Tao's hand away and said proudly, "You're not worthy to be my friend."
Gu Tao's pale and thin face instantly turned red. He had been in society for a long time, and although he put on an amiable and approachable attitude, no one dared to not give him face.
When he said that he wanted to be friends with Gao Zhengyang, it was just to get close to him. As long as Gao Zhengyang hung out with him, in less than three days, he would be able to teach Gao Zhengyang how to eat, drink, and gamble. Then, he would give him some medicine!
When that time comes, he could do whatever he wanted with Gao Zhengyang! Even if he had to do something to Xu Xu in front of Gao Zhengyang, he would still applaud and cheer him on.
Gu Tao never thought that Gao Zhengyang would actually dare to reject him in front of him, and in such an arrogant manner that it almost broke his face.
In his rage, Gu Tao no longer had any scruples. He got close to Gao Zhengyang and said in a low voice, "Rascal, I'll make sure your corpse is lying on the streets tomorrow!"
Gao Zhengyang pointed his finger at Gu Tao's forehead and pushed him away. He said in disdain, "Trash like you, I don't even want you to lick my shoes. So, please get lost … "
After Gao Zhengyang pushed Gu Tao away, he walked away.
