Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Someone is trying to trip up Ruanruan in front of the Third Master.

The boxing ring once again plunged into fierce combat, and the spectators below were screaming animatedly.

On the left side of the main grandstand on the second floor, there was a room with a slightly inferior view.

Su Jingshu was sitting by the window, her attention already on Huo Yunjiao.

She was idle today and came here for some entertainment, wanting to see if there were any new boxers, and unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

Miss Su rested her chin on one hand, while the fingertips of the other hand gently swirled a wine glass.

Her eyes were fixed on Mr. Huo, her gaze never shifting.

The man in her sight was as dazzling as the moon in the sky, making it hard to look away.

He was surrounded by a soft, clean light that gave him an aloof and serene air.

Bei Jinzhou, who was standing behind Su Jingshu, moved forward and asked in a low voice, "Miss, do you want to go and say hello?"

"What for? To annoy him?"

Miss Su was admittedly very self-aware.

Bei Jinzhou didn’t respond, he silently picked up the red wine on the table and topped up her glass.

Huo Yunjiao was unaware that someone was watching him.

He covered his mouth and coughed softly.

Gongsun Yibo frowned, looking in the direction of the sound, "Are you still not well?"

Huo Yunjiao smiled absent-mindedly, "It’s an old ailment. I have been recuperating in Champs recently. I haven’t been out for a long time."

At his words, the wrinkles between Gongsun Yibo’s brows deepened.

"It just snowed yesterday, and the temperature suddenly dropped. Didn’t anyone stop you from going out?"

Recalling the pouted lips of Qin Ruan before he left, Mr. Huo eyes softened a little, "My wife did try to stop me."

"It seems she isn’t totally useless."

Gongsun Yibo raised an eyebrow, his handsome face suddenly displayed a hint of arrogance.

His disdainful words, heard by Mr. Huo, caused him to show his displeasure, "She’s very good, very obedient. She even made a fuss about me going out today."

Gongsun Yibo didn’t want to argue with him, he changed the subject with a smile, "Why come at all? If I had known your health wasn’t in good shape, I wouldn’t have invited you here."

Mr. Huo looked down to adjust his cuffs, ignoring him, and said directly, "I’m already here, Brother Yibo, there’s no need for such words."

This address of ’Brother Yibo’ made Gongsun Yibo feel extremely comfortable.

He adjusted his position slightly, sighing softly, "Tsk... You’re always so relentless with words."

Huo Yunjiao’s eyes were clear, he asked resolutely, "So can we agree? The Huo Family’s hidden guards will depart for Fuluo this afternoon."

Gongsun Yibo shook his head, "Business has to be handled separately. As long as you bet on the right person, and they win this boxing match, I will arrange people to follow you immediately."

Huo Yunjiao pursed his lips and said nothing, his calm gaze fixed on Gongsun Yibo.

Although he didn’t say anything, it was clear that the Huo family was determined to make the Gongsun family give up the person they demanded.

Gongsun Yibo’s smile faded, and he became serious again.

He sighed, seemingly troubled, "Yunjiao, the Gongsun family has been declining for many years, and there are not many elders left. We live a peaceful life, not involving ourselves in worldly matters."

Huo Yunjiao didn’t look too well, appearing somewhat frail.

He twirled his fingers, his gaze slowly dropping as he spoke, "Only the Gongsun family has studied the art of Gu poison for generations."

Gongsun Yibo joked, "But who would have known that dealing with Gu would bring calamities to our offspring. The fact that the Gongsun elders have been falling one after another, and that we have few descendants, proves this.

Now, the younger generation of the Gongsun family rarely deals with Gu poison anymore. Fuluo is the original home of Gu. Sending us—minor figures like us—to go head to head with giants...isn’t that seeking death?"

Indeed, the Gongsun family had gradually declined, but it remained a stalwart amongst the six major ancient families.

This was because the family knew how to use Gu, and the Gongsun family had studied Gu poison for generations.

This time, the Huo Family was sending people to Fuluo, and to be safe, they asked the Gongsun family to send someone to accompany the Huo family’s hidden guards to Fuluo.

Huo Yunjiao looked coldly at Gongsun Yibo and said firmly, "Brother Yibo, regardless of the outcome, the Gongsun family will have to send people."

He hooked the corner of his mouth, his brow raised confidently.

Gongsun Yibo was leisurely and his face wore a smile, "You’re so sure?"

Huo Yunjiao replied calmly, "The main offspring of the Gongsun family do not use Gu, but they have raised a group of people who are skilled in it."

Gongsun Yibo’s eyes flashed with a deep, unreadable light, his eyes slightly narrowed, concealing the sharp light in his eyes.

He straightened his body, his handsome features changed subtly, his voice sinking, "Yunjiao, they are all nurtured by the Gongsun family at a significant cost. They are quite valuable."

The hint of a smile on Huo Yunjiao’s lips deepened, "I just need three people, the Huo family will pay them a hundred million in commission."

Gongsun Yibo’s gaze inadvertently radiated a sharp light, "A hundred million is a bit less, isn’t it?"

Mr. Huo spoke lightly, "US dollars."

"Deal!"

Gongsun Yibo immediately broke into a delighted smile, his eyes curved with laughter.

Having confirmed that the Gongsun family would send people with the Huo family’s hidden guards to Fuluo, Huo Yunjiao felt relieved and his expression relaxed.

For the Gongsun family, it cost more than a hundred million to train a Gu Master.

Then Gongsun Yibo switched his tone, "I’ll have them prepare in advance, but this match still has to go on. It’s been several years since I’ve had a get-together with you here."

Huo Yunjiao was puzzled, "Has it been that long?"

Gongsun Yibo picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea into the cup at his hand, "Three or four years, I think. Ever since you took over the Huo family’s affairs, to see you, an appointment has to be made a year in advance."

Huo Yunjiao shook his head with a smile, "That’s an exaggeration."

Shrieks and screams once again erupted from the audience’s seats of the boxing ring.

The two men looked in the direction of the noise, and the outcome of the match had been decided.

That boxer selected by Gongsun Yibo was at an overpowering advantage over the long-haired man wearing a blue sweatband.

This round, Mr. Huo lost.

With two rounds left, the result would soon be revealed.

The door to the room was pushed open from behind.

"Brother Yibo!" A sweet feminine voice rang out.

Gongsun Yibo did not turn his head, his expression became cold and his voice chilly, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that Mr. Huo is here, so I wanted to apologize to him."

The voice was sweet and getting closer.

Hearing that it had something to do with him, Huo Yunjiao’s lip corners twitched and a slight sneer flashed across his face before quickly disappearing.

The person who came was Gongsun Wei, who had discussed Mr. Huo with her superficial friends at the Fu family banquet.

Her attire today was innocent, and it was evident that she had put great effort into her appearance.

In such cold weather, she was wearing a knee-length white skirt, with light makeup, looking innocent and cute.

Gongsun Wei stood behind Gongsun Yibo and Huo Yunjiao, her posture stiff and nervous.

Her eyes kept darting to Mr. Huo, who was sitting to her right hand side.

Gongsun Yibo didn’t show any pleasure from the victory of his chosen boxer.

He turned around, his cold gaze fixed on Gongsun Wei, a chill flickering at the corner of his mouth, "Apologize?"

Gongsun Wei looked like she had been wronged, her voice wavering, "A few days ago at the Fu family banquet, I upset Mrs. Huo over a small matter."
