After a few days, news of what happened at Crouching Dragon Mountain had spread across the Barren State, causing a great furor.
Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue's engagement had been the talk of all of the Barren State, and over half of the top powers in the land had come to wish them well. However, someone had tried to steal the bride on the day itself, and in the end, the engagement ceremony had become Zhuge Mingyue and Gu Dongliu's. For Gu Dongliu to have replaced Bai Luli as the groom was shocking beyond measure. Furthermore, it seemed that when the two clashed that day, in a battle between the Barren State's two most monstrously talented individuals, Gu Dongliu had actually been able to injure Bai Luli despite being just a mid-level sage. And it was even said that if the two had been of the same plane, then Gu Dongliu would have been even more powerful. This seemed ridiculous to many.
