The man in black gave a cold laugh and said, "The Ye Family's affairs are my affairs." His gaze swept over everyone below before finally landing on Ye Qingyu. A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. "Qingyu, step aside. Leave this to me."
Ye Qingyu nodded obediently and retreated to the side. She knew that the man before her was the guardian deity of the Ye Family—and the one she had admired since childhood, her Bamboo Horse, Gu Han. Gu Han had possessed extraordinary talent since childhood and was hailed as a genius rarely seen in a century. Ten years ago, he had left the Ye Family to seek a higher realm of martial cultivation in the center of the continent. Over the years, Gu Han had never forgotten the Ye Family. He had secretly protected them, but had never shown himself.
"Brother Gu Han!" Someone among the Ye Family disciples recognized Gu Han and immediately shouted in excitement.
When Xuanxiao heard that name, his expression instantly grew even uglier. He had long heard of Gu Han. It was said that this man had entered the Saint Stage at a young age and was one of the top geniuses in the entire Eastern Emperor Heaven Domain. He had never imagined that this peerless genius, whose name shook the Eastern Domain, would actually be Ye Qingyu's lover. Well, this is probably going to be a fierce battle!
"You're Gu Han?" Xuanxiao forced himself to remain calm and sneered. "I've long admired your reputation. Now that I've seen you, you're nothing special!"
Gu Han ignored Xuanxiao's provocation. He slowly descended into the center of the martial arena and stared coldly at Xuanxiao, a trace of killing intent in his voice. "Since you dared to come knocking, do you dare to fight?"
