Oh No! I've Become Yu Xiaogang!

"You brat, that little bit of skill isn't much to look at!"

Outside Spirit City, in a forest.

After raising his strength to the Soul Elder level and beating Gu Han until he was covered in injuries and looked thoroughly miserable, Qian Daoliu could not help but feel secretly delighted as he spoke coldly.

Gu Han's face darkened slightly. "Senior, that's not fair. You're a Titled Douluo. If I were skilled enough to measure up before you, wouldn't I be flying to heaven already?"

This brat sure had a sharp tongue!

Qian Daoliu had failed to make things difficult for Gu Han, which made him a little displeased again.

But after tossing Gu Han around through the air and giving him a small beating just now, Qian Daoliu had vented quite a bit of his resentment, so he did not plan to keep tormenting him.

"Brat, based on my testing, you're definitely not the useless trash the rumors in Spirit City make you out to be. But from now on, you'd better stay away from Xue'er, understand?"

"The current you is still unworthy of her!"

Qian Daoliu's tone was full of menace.

Xue'er?

At last, Gu Han knew who this Black-Robed Man was.

Wasn't this old geezer Qian Daoliu?

He had thought it might have been Demon Bear Douluo.

But what did this old geezer mean by telling him to stay away from Qian Renxue? There was nothing between him and Qian Renxue right now!

Could this old geezer have developed PTSD because of what happened with Bibi Dong?

Gu Han thought strangely to himself.

But no matter what Qian Daoliu was thinking, Gu Han merely smiled calmly and said,

"Sorry! Senior, I'm afraid I can't agree to that."

"Sister Xue'er and I are friends. As long as Sister Xue'er wants to see me or needs help with anything, I'll definitely be there for her. I can't stay away from Sister Xue'er."

"Brat, are you looking to die?"

Qian Daoliu had not expected Gu Han to be unafraid of the threat of a Titled Douluo. He felt both gratified and irritated.

"But you just said I'm already unworthy of Sister Xue'er. If I gave her up and stayed away from her just because you threatened me, wouldn't that make you look down on me even more?"

Gu Han said.

That left Qian Daoliu unsure how to respond.

This brat was far too sharp-tongued!

"Still, I'd like to ask, Senior—what do I need to do to become worthy of Sister Xue'er?"

Gu Han asked again with a smile, sounding curious.

"Wait until you completely evolve that martial soul of yours into a Golden Sacred Dragon, then cultivate to the rank of Titled Douluo!"

Qian Daoliu said irritably.

"Otherwise, I won't let Xue'er be deceived by that mouth of yours, which does nothing but spout empty words and nonsense!"

Empty words and nonsense?

Gu Han could not help but laugh.

So Qian Daoliu really was guarding against him as though he were Yu Xiaogang!

Oh no! I've become Yu Xiaogang!

After testing Gu Han and discovering that he truly had some real ability and was of solid character, Qian Daoliu returned to Spirit City feeling both gratified and annoyed.

To torment Gu Han one last time.

This time, Qian Daoliu simply went back on his own, leaving Gu Han behind in the forest.

"This old geezer! When we came here, you carried me through the air without even asking and nearly made me puke from motion sickness. Now that I wanted a ride back, you didn't even ask either—you just flew off!"

What a jerk!

Watching Qian Daoliu rise into the air and rapidly vanish into the distance, Gu Han's face was full of black lines as he stood there speechless.

Fine! He would have to head back by himself!

Fortunately, this place was not too far from Spirit City!

Gazing at the majestic city in the distance, Gu Han sighed helplessly. He then unleashed the Cloud Dragon Nine Illusions Movement Technique, darting through the forest as he made his way toward Spirit City.

He could treat the journey as practice for Cloud Dragon Nine Illusions!

After returning to Spirit City, Gu Han went to eat lunch with Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan as usual.

"Xiao Han, what happened to you? Did someone beat you?"

"Tell Senior Sister quickly! Senior Sister will avenge you!"

When Hu Liena noticed that Gu Han had somehow been injured, her beautiful, seductive face immediately filled with distress. She hurriedly held Gu Han's face in both hands, asking him with both concern and worry.

"Does it still hurt now?"

Whether Gu Han's injuries hurt or not, no one knew.

But watching this scene, Yan's heart ached sharply.

Gu Han had only suffered such minor injuries, yet the goddess was already worried sick.

But he had often suffered injuries far more severe than this during spirit battles and wilderness combat training, and the goddess had never even offered him a single word of concern.

But I—I was the first one. I was clearly here first...

Yan was so aggrieved that he was nearly crying.

Still, remembering that Gu Han was only a six-year-old brat and Hu Liena's junior brother, Yan consoled himself that the goddess might simply see him as a younger brother.

Yet when he looked at Gu Han's appearance, which was clearly far more mature than that of a six-year-old, Yan felt even more miserable.

He could not help but curse inwardly.

What the hell had this brat eaten, Jin Kela? Why was he developing so fast?!

He was only six years old, not even seven yet!

He was already nearly as developed as Yan had been at eleven or twelve.

After lunch, Gu Han returned once more to the Plum Garden behind Pope's Palace.

He intended to follow their previous arrangement: first teach Qian Renxue the Sun Radiance Sword Art in the Plum Garden, then go with her to the Archives to read and answer her various questions related to governing a nation.

But this time, after Qian Renxue arrived at the Plum Garden.

Like Hu Liena, she noticed that Gu Han had sustained quite a few injuries.

Though they were all minor, there were many of them.

For example, the bruises and scratches on Gu Han's face were far too conspicuous, making Qian Renxue's heart ache.

"Gu Han, what happened? Who hurt you? Does it hurt?"

Qian Renxue also held Gu Han's face in her delicate hands, gently stroking it with distress.

"It's nothing. I accidentally hurt myself. It's no big deal. Sister Xue'er, let's continue with the Sun Radiance Sword Art."

Gu Han took Qian Renxue's delicate hand in his own, lowering it from his face as he smiled.

But Qian Renxue naturally did not believe him.

And with Qian Renxue's intelligence.

Remembering what her grandfather Qian Daoliu had said yesterday, Qian Renxue quickly realized that this had definitely been her grandfather's doing.

Gu Han was that woman's disciple.

Even if many people in Spirit City disliked him, they would never dare lay a hand on him.

Before this, Gu Han had never once suffered injuries like these.

But this time, after Grandfather learned about her and Gu Han, he had said he wanted to investigate Gu Han properly.

Then the next day, Gu Han was injured like this.

Qian Renxue was somewhat furious.

She understood that Grandfather was concerned for her.

But Grandfather, investigate him if you must, but how could you hurt Gu Han like this?!

And after you hurt Gu Han like this, he still spoke up for you and deliberately hid it from me.

Doesn't your conscience hurt at all?

Qian Renxue fumed inwardly, deciding that she would go settle the score with her grandfather as soon as she returned.

After spending the day studying with Gu Han, Qian Renxue returned to Douluo Hall and headed straight for the Angel Temple where Qian Daoliu was.

"Grandfather!"

Before she even arrived, Qian Renxue's angry, clear cry had already reached the Angel Temple.
