Su Weiran looked at Chu Xu, who was exceptional and gentle, with a hint of complexity flickering in her eyes. Due to her past association with Chu Tian, she harbored a strong dislike and "misunderstanding" towards Chu Xu. Even when she previously visited Chu Xu, her attitude was somewhat indifferent. However, Su Weiran now believes that Chu Xu's unpleasantness was merely the result of Chu Tian's malicious slander, and that she had misunderstood Chu Xu. Naturally, there was a tinge of guilt in her heart towards Chu Xu.

She whispered, "Shenhou Shizi, I misunderstood you before. Weiran apologizes to you." Chu Xu was slightly surprised. As nobles like them, sons and daughters of prestigious families, they rarely bow their heads to admit their mistakes. Furthermore, Su Weiran had done nothing wrong. She simply didn't have a favorable impression of him, and her behavior was not rude, let alone provocative.

Unexpectedly, Su Weiran was now apologizing sincerely!

Chu Xu showed a hint of doubt on his face and softly asked, "Did Su He say this?" His tone was extremely gentle, as if he was gently comforting her. It felt like a gentle breeze, like an older brother next door who cared about Su Weiran. Additionally, Chu Xu's appearance was extraordinarily beautiful, and his slightly worried expression was undeniably moving.

Su Weiran and Gong Yueshuang, who were standing by, were a little dumbfounded. This man... was truly remarkable! Gong Yueshuang recounted the events that had just taken place in the hall, filled with righteous indignation.

Chu Xu sighed softly, then said, "My elder brother has had a disadvantaged status since childhood, and his personality has always been somewhat extreme... He has never liked me... but I understand. Over the years, the pressure on him has been immense." He shook his head slightly and refrained from saying anything negative about Chu Tian. It seemed like he felt that Chu Tian's temperament was simply a bit extreme... This even moved Su Weiran.

In the past, whenever Chu Xu was mentioned in Su Weiran's presence, Chu Tian would speak of how malicious and ruthless Chu Xu was. But now, Chu Xu didn't utter a single negative word about Chu Tian... It was a stark contrast to Chu Tian! Through this comparison, Su Weiran felt that Chu Xu was truly an exceptional and magnanimous young master. And Chu Tian was a narrow-minded person blinded by jealousy...

In her heart, Su Weiran let out a soft sigh and bowed to Chu Xu, whispering, "I shall take my leave, Weiran." Chu Xu nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "We shall remember each other when we meet again. If you have the opportunity in the future, Su Ke, please come to the Shenhou Mansion to find me." Su Weiran also wore a beautiful smile on her face. She nodded and promised, "I will pay a visit in the near future." With that, she left calmly with Gong Yueshuang by her side.

Chu Xu watched Su Weiran's departing figure, still wearing that gentle smile on his face. However, his eyes held a deep indifference. Without Su Weiran's support, Chu Tian was now completely alone in this court...

At that moment, another group was about to leave Vientiane Tower. Leading the group was a beautiful girl, Xia Houyun!

Xia Houyun's expression appeared somewhat relieved. She had obtained the Xuandu Yuzhao Pill, though it had come at a high cost, nearly depleting a small portion of the Xiahou clan's wealth. But as long as her

ancestor could break through to the Tiangong realm, it would all be worth it!

Xia Houyun also noticed Chu Xu and her face immediately showed reverence. Although she wasn't qualified to know this extraordinary young man personally, she was well aware of Chu Xu's identity. The Xiahou clan had been declining more and more, almost falling out of the ranks of aristocratic families. In her eyes, Chu Xu was undoubtedly a prominent figure, someone she couldn't afford to offend.

She bowed to Chu Xu and respectfully said, "Xiahou Yun, a member of the Xiahou clan, greets Shenhou Shizi." When Chu Xu saw Xia Houyun, a faint smile appeared on his face. This girl, with her resolute and worried expression, possessed the rare Glazed Yin Yuan physique, an exceptional physique for cultivation. He was quite interested in her...

Chu Xu nodded slightly and chuckled, "So, it is Xiahou." At that moment, a young man standing next to Xia Houyun regarded Chu Xu with utmost vigilance, as if fearing what Chu Xu might think of Xia Houyun. Chu Xu sneered inwardly as he glanced at the young man's expression. However, his own face remained calm, as if it was just a casual greeting before he and Xia Houyun's group went their separate ways.

Once aboard Baoyan, Chu Xu suddenly whispered to those outside, "Send someone to monitor the Xiahou clan, especially Xiahouyun!"
