Qian Renxue: Grandpa! You Don't Understand Him!

Spirit City, Douluo Hall.

Inside the Angel Temple.

Though she faced the judgment of both her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, and the other six Grand Enforcers, Qian Renxue remained remarkably calm.

She had known this day would come sooner or later.

"Yes."

Faced with her grandfather Qian Daoliu's question, Qian Renxue had no intention of concealing anything and admitted it directly.

Qian Daoliu had not expected Qian Renxue to be so calm, without the slightest hint of panic or shame. This only made him angrier.

"Big Brother, calm down. Perhaps this isn't what we think it is. Don't forget, Gu Han is only six this year!"

Seeing how angry Qian Daoliu was, the Fifth Grand Enforcer, Guangling Douluo, hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Once Guangling Douluo spoke up, the other Grand Enforcers began offering their own words of persuasion as well.

"That's right! Big Brother, perhaps there's a misunderstanding here. It may not be what we think."

"Big Brother, we watched Xue'er grow up. We know her character. We should trust her!"

"Yes, yes!"

The advice from Guangling Douluo and the other Grand Enforcers gradually calmed the anger in Qian Daoliu's heart. He was naturally still willing to trust his own granddaughter.

And indeed, Gu Han was simply too young—only six.

Just a little brat!

His granddaughter was already fourteen or fifteen. How could she possibly take a fancy to a child?

Perhaps he had only been overly anxious because of the precedent set by Yu Xiaogang, causing him to overthink things.

Maybe his granddaughter had merely become curious about Gu Han because Bibi Dong had taken him as her disciple, and went to interact with him. Then, because his granddaughter had lacked love since childhood, she came to treat the child as a younger brother.

That made perfect sense too!

"Xue'er, what exactly is going on between you and Gu Han?"

After calming down, Qian Daoliu asked again in a deep voice.

Yet as he spoke, Qian Daoliu could not help clenching his hands tightly, feeling somewhat nervous inside.

He desperately wanted to hear the answer he hoped for from his granddaughter, yet feared hearing the answer he did not want.

At that moment, Qian Renxue took a deep breath and spoke.

"Grandpa, there's nothing going on between Gu Han and me. I simply admire him very much and feel that I can learn many things from him, so I often go to see him."

"But to be honest, I do like him somewhat. If possible in the future, I would very much like to be with him."

Qian Renxue had always dared to love and own up to it.

Since her grandfather had raised the question, there was nothing worth hiding.

Over the long period she had spent with Gu Han.

At first, she had regarded Gu Han as a younger brother.

But after the matter of Statecraft, Qian Renxue discovered that Gu Han possessed a composure and maturity far beyond his years. He also had lofty perspectives and insights into all manner of complex problems, and could even propose solutions.

That truly attracted Qian Renxue!

And afterward, Gu Han had also displayed monstrous talent in the field of soul masters!

The Sun Radiance Sword Art was proof enough!

Although Gu Han's Innate Soul Power was very low, only Rank 0.25, he had already found a path for Martial Soul Evolution.

Qian Renxue firmly believed that Gu Han would certainly achieve accomplishments that would shock the continent in the future!

Other than his age, Qian Renxue felt that Gu Han was completely worthy of her.

And besides, was age really that important?

She was fourteen now, while Gu Han was only around seven.

But what about ten years later?

By then, she would be twenty-four and Gu Han seventeen. Wouldn't that be a perfect match?

Qian Renxue had also noticed that Gu Han looked far more mature than his actual age.

Though he was only six now, Gu Han already looked like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy.

In a few more years, Gu Han's appearance would be roughly the same age as hers.

At that time, if anyone who did not know them saw the two walking together, who would not praise them as a perfect couple?

"Nothing going on, huh?"

When Qian Renxue first said that nothing was going on, Qian Daoliu had inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

But upon hearing the rest, Qian Daoliu immediately flew into a rage, nearly driven mad with anger.

"What?! You actually do like this brat? He's only six! Only six! What exactly is it about him that attracts you?"

"You said you could learn a lot from him? Are you joking? What could a six-year-old little brat possibly know?!"

"And did you think we didn't know about that boy? His Innate Soul Power is only level 0.25, and his Martial Soul is an extremely degenerated mutated Beast Martial Soul that can't even possess him. He's utter trash among trash."

"How could you possibly fall for such a useless boy? Are you trying to anger your grandfather to death?"

"Grandfather, I'm sorry for making you angry."

Seeing Qian Daoliu so furious he could barely contain himself, a flicker of guilt passed through Qian Renxue's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by resolve.

"But Grandfather, Gu Han really isn't what you think he is. You don't understand him!"

I don't understand him?

Qian Daoliu was so furious that his vision went dark. His body trembled, and he could barely speak.

Tears swirled in his stomach.

The destructive power of those words was simply too great!

It was no different from a daughter of an ultra-wealthy family in Gu Han's previous life suddenly telling her old father that she had gotten herself a yellow-haired boyfriend.

Naturally, the father would never allow it, yet the daughter stubbornly insisted: "You don't understand him!"

The only thing more devastating than that would be the yellow-haired boyfriend taking it a step further, showing up at the door and telling the old father, "Old Geezer, my flashy bike is downstairs. Go help me park it."

Qian Renxue also knew that whether it was her grandfather or the other Enforcers, they were all deeply prejudiced against Gu Han.

Taking a deep breath, Qian Renxue began to speak.

She recounted how she had met Gu Han, as well as his sweeping views and insights on Statecraft, along with the solutions he had come up with.

Afterward, Qian Renxue also revealed that Gu Han had already found a way to achieve Martial Soul Evolution, and that it had produced remarkable results.

Moreover, Gu Han had somehow taken a Self-Created Soul Skill sword technique whose power was originally at most comparable to a Hundred-Year Soul Skill—

—and in less than half a month, improved it so that its first move rivaled a Hundred-Year Soul Skill, while its final move rivaled a Soul Skill of several tens of thousands of years.

Yet as Qian Renxue spoke, neither Qian Daoliu nor the other six Enforcers believed her more as they listened.

Qian Daoliu and the other six Enforcers all knew that Gu Han had found a method for Martial Soul Evolution.

They also knew that Bibi Dong had been using Spirit Hall's resources to send people into various Soul Beast Forests, hunting Light Attribute dragon-type soul beasts for Gu Han.

But whether it actually worked—

—and if it did, how effective it was—

—they had never seen it for themselves, so naturally they had no way of knowing.

However, since Qian Renxue said she had personally witnessed it and that the results were excellent—

Qian Daoliu and the six Enforcers naturally believed her, and their impression of Gu Han improved somewhat.

At the very least, this proved that Gu Han was far better than Yu Xiaogang, who called himself the Martial Soul Theory Master when in truth, the two theories he was most proud of had both been plagiarized from Spirit Hall's library.

Gu Han was someone with genuine ability.

But as for Qian Renxue's other claims—that Gu Han possessed lofty views and insights on Statecraft and could even devise solutions—

—and that he could actually improve a Self-Created Soul Skill sword technique, originally no stronger than a Hundred-Year Soul Skill, in just half a month, making its first move comparable to a Hundred-Year Soul Skill and its final move as powerful as a Soul Skill of several tens of thousands of years—

—neither Qian Daoliu nor the other six Enforcers believed any of it at all.
