At that instant, the atmosphere became charged with tension. The arrival of an unexpected, dramatic event had everyone present on edge.
Amid the gasps of surprise and murmurs of concern from the onlookers, a figure landed gracefully on the red carpet, shattering the falling glass with ease. All eyes turned to the source of this astonishing entrance.
It was a young woman dressed in a sleek black attire that accentuated her agile form. Her eyes gleamed with confidence and determination, and her long, flowing hair swayed as she came to a halt.
"Apologies for the interruption, but I couldn't help overhearing this lively conversation," the woman stated coolly, her voice carrying a hint of amusement.
Even Huang Weize, who had been in the midst of a confrontational stance, was momentarily taken aback by her sudden appearance. The entire scene fell into a perplexed silence, as the guests and the main figures alike stared at the woman in disbelief.
Fang Yan's expression shifted, a flash of recognition crossing his features.

Huang Weize's initial surprise quickly transformed into an arrogant smirk. "Chu Yuyan, what brings you here? Are you planning to meddle in this matter?"
Chu Yuyan's lips curled into a faint smile. "Just passing by, but I couldn't resist stopping to witness this... engaging interaction."
Her nonchalant response belied the intensity of the situation, causing the tension in the air to escalate. The onlookers exchanged glances, sensing that Chu Yuyan's involvement was bound to leave a lasting impact.
Fang Yan's curiosity was piqued by her presence. He observed her closely, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. Despite her casual demeanor, he recognized that Chu Yuyan's appearance was no mere coincidence. Her intervention held purpose, and Fang Yan was determined to decipher her motives.
In this charged atmosphere, a confrontation of wills unfolded—a clash between the assertive personalities of Fang Yan, Hong Jiu, Long Baiyun, Huang Weize, and the enigmatic Chu Yuyan. Each had their own agenda, their own objectives, and their own perception of the unfolding events.
As the guests watched, the unpredictable circumstances continued to unravel, revealing a complex web of alliances, rivalries, and hidden intentions.
The stage was set for a riveting spectacle that would leave a lasting impact on the southern provinces and cities, altering the trajectories of both individuals and organizations alike.
