Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

However, contrary to her expectations, Hai Tang’s spaghetti strap dress did not fall off.

However, Hai Tang lost her balance on the steps because her skirt was stepped on and fell to the other side.

Due to Song Lin’s loud scream, many guests ‘gazes were attracted.

Everyone watched as Song Lin took a step back in panic. Then, Hai Tang, who was in front of her, lost her balance and fell to the side. This scene shocked everyone present and caused them to discuss animatedly.

Hai Tang was still focused on searching for Dharma cultivators when her skirt was suddenly stepped on and she fell. There was a surprised and puzzled expression on her face.

Gu Yun reacted quickly. When Hai Tang fell halfway, he quickly grabbed her waist and helped her up.

However, due to his sudden movement, the silver-white mask on Gu Yun’s face actually loosened, and the entire mask fell to the ground.

But Gu Yun could not care less. At this moment, he only had Hai Tang in his eyes.

“Uhh.” Hai Tang cried out in pain.

She had sprained her right ankle because she had subconsciously stepped on air.

“How are you? Are you injured?” Gu Yun immediately asked Hai Tang nervously. Seeing her frown and painful expression, he immediately looked at Hai Tang’s right leg.

Her feet were a little crooked, and she had to stand on her toes in the air because of the pain. It seemed that the sprain was more serious.

Hai Tang was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat. However, she remembered that there were still many guests watching, so she forced herself to say,” It’s okay. I…” I should be able to walk. Help me sit beside you.”

She tried to move her right foot, but the pain caused her to suck in a breath of cold air.

“You’re already like this, yet you’re still so stubborn.” Gu Yun’s brows furrowed deeply. His eyes were filled with heartache and self-blame.

Without waiting for Hai Tang to continue speaking, he bent down and picked her up horizontally.

“What happened just now?” Gu Yun asked in a low voice. He remembered hearing a woman’s scream before Hai Tang fell, so he felt that something was amiss.

When he turned around, he only saw a circle of guests surrounding him. Amongst them, Song Lin had her back to Hai Tang and Gu Yun, trying to squeeze out of the crowd.

As early as when Hai Tang fell down, Song Lin had sensed that something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to run away.

However, for some reason, these guests suddenly swarmed around her, making it difficult for her to escape quickly.

The surrounding guests stared at Gu Yun in surprise. Among them, there were a few familiar faces that Gu Yun knew. After looking at Gu Yun, they all revealed surprised expressions and said loudly,” Brother Yun, it’s you!”

“Gu Yun, you’re here too?”

“What role are you playing?”

Only then did Gu Yun realize that the mask on his face had fallen off because of his action of saving Hai Tang.

The young men and women who greeted him were all children of wealthy families who were slightly younger than him. They were all invited to Song Lin’s birthday party.

Even Gu Yun felt a little awkward when his disguise was exposed and he was recognized on the spot.

He cleared his throat and replied somewhat at a loss,”Ahem, hello.”

Even Hai Tang felt awkward and funny. She was being hugged by Princess Gu Yun and surrounded by a group of people. She was so shy that she forgot the pain and subconsciously wanted to hide in Gu Yun’s arms.

She suddenly remembered that she had come to this banquet as the Dharma Cultivator’s fiancée. At this moment, Gu Yun had informed her that if she was recognized, not only would the Dharma Cultivator’s condition not be stable, but the relationship between the three of them would also become complicated.

“Gu Yun…Hurry up and leave!” Hai Tang tried to speak to Gu Yun in the lowest voice possible.

Gu Yun did not hear what Hai Tang said clearly.

And even if he wanted to leave, he couldn’t.

There were guests who had squeezed over to join in the fun. When they heard that Gu Yun had appeared, everyone wanted to squeeze in. The crowd was dense.

Someone noticed that Hai Tang, who was in Gu Yun’s arms, seemed to be injured. They quickly called a young man with some medical knowledge to come over and check on Hai Tang’s injuries.

Seeing the young man push up his glasses and seriously begin to treat Hai Tang, Gu Yun was even more unlikely to immediately leave with Hai Tang. This was the first time these scions of wealthy families had met Gu Yun on such an occasion, so they felt it was very novel. Therefore, they all cast fervent gazes at Gu Yun and Hai Tang in his arms..
