The Peerless Genius Huo Yuhao

Seeing Qian Renxue point her longsword at Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena gripped her Silver Dragon Spear tightly, her brows furrowed as though she were ready to intervene in the confrontation at any moment.

Seeing Gu Yuena itching to make a move beside him, Huo Yuhao hurriedly shot her frantic looks, telling her not to act rashly.

If Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue truly came to blows, the consequences would be unimaginable. Qian Daoliu would certainly be beside himself with anxiety, and Bibi Dong would never want to see such a situation either.

Gu Yuena noticed Huo Yuhao's look, blinked, and slowly lowered the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand. She retreated behind Qian Daoliu and made no further moves.

However, just as Gu Yuena backed down, Qian Daoliu anxiously said to Qian Renxue, "Xiao Xue, what are you doing? Put the sword down, now. Grandpa will be very angry if you keep this up." Qian Daoliu could not bear to see a conflict arise between his beloved granddaughter and another child he cherished just as deeply.

After speaking, Qian Daoliu flashed directly in front of Huo Yuhao, positioning himself between Huo Yuhao and Qian Renxue. He then earnestly urged Qian Renxue, "Xue'er, calm down. Let's sit down and talk this out properly. I watched both you and Yuhao grow up. We're all family."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Renxue's heart trembled slightly. Her grip on the sword unconsciously loosened.

However, when Qian Renxue's gaze fell upon Bibi Dong, whom Huo Yuhao was tightly shielding behind him, the resentment and rage buried deep in her heart surged forth like a tide, leaving her unable to control herself. A trace of resolve flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes as she turned her blade and pointed it at Bibi Dong in the distance.

Seeing Qian Renxue's movements, Qian Daoliu's heart sank sharply. This is bad. They're really going to fight.

Sure enough, the instant Qian Renxue pointed her blade at Bibi Dong, Huo Yuhao reacted immediately. His hands transformed in an instant, radiating bone-piercing Cold Air as they turned into pure-white ice crystals. Two of his fingers precisely caught Qian Renxue's Angel God Sword, stopping its advance.

"Qian Renxue, if you have any grievances or questions, come at me directly. Don't point your sword at her. I know you have misunderstandings about your mother, but I cannot allow you to treat her like this."

Amid the tense atmosphere, drops of bright red blood fell from the tip of the Angel God Sword, landing on the ice-cold ground with crisp drips. Although Huo Yuhao had used the power of Extreme Ice to protect his palms, the Angel God Sword's sharpness had still cut one of his fingers. Yet Huo Yuhao seemed utterly unconcerned with the wound on his hand. His gaze remained firm, locked tightly onto Qian Renxue's eyes.

"Xiao Xue, put the sword down! You've already hurt Yuhao!" Qian Daoliu shouted anxiously. He rushed over and grabbed the blade of the Angel God Sword. Sensing the Angel aura emanating from Qian Daoliu, the Angel God Sword seemed to respond as well. The light along its blade gradually dimmed, and its sharp edge slowly withdrew.

"Xiao Xue, hurry and apologize to Yuhao, all right? You two need to get along. How could you do this...?" Qian Daoliu's voice was filled with helplessness and anxiety.

He had never expected things to develop this way. His granddaughter had actually started fighting her granddaughter's husband, who was also his adopted grandson. What kind of mess was this?!

Qian Daoliu naturally knew where the heart of the conflict lay. But unless Bibi Dong told Xiao Xue about that matter and the mother and daughter reconciled, there was simply no way to resolve this conflict. Only once the misunderstandings and barriers between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were removed could this family regain its former harmony and peace.

Qian Daoliu cursed his son again in his heart. That brat had left him with such a mess. This old bag of bones was going to be tortured to pieces by this matter. Not only did he have to handle Spirit Hall's affairs, but he also had to settle conflicts within the family, leaving Qian Daoliu utterly exhausted.

However, upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Renxue's eyes remained full of stubbornness. She then turned to Bibi Dong and demanded loudly, "Bibi Dong, I really can't understand it. I thought you were born a heartless lunatic, but why? Why can you treat him so well?!"

Qian Renxue's voice was filled with confusion and pain. She could not understand Bibi Dong's actions, nor could she accept her mother's cold attitude toward her. She longed for her mother's love and care, yet it seemed that all of it had merely been wishful thinking on her part.

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Bibi Dong only felt as though her heart were being cut by knives. Crystal tears welled in her eyes. Sensing Bibi Dong's pain, Huo Yuhao gently took her hand and whispered, "I'm here."

"Since you hate me so much, then why did you get pregnant with—"

"Enough, Qian Renxue! Shut up!"

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qian Daoliu and Huo Yuhao roared in anger almost simultaneously, their two voices forcefully drowning out Qian Renxue's.

Qian Renxue was clearly stunned by their shouts and stood there blankly.

Qian Daoliu and Huo Yuhao both felt as though their hearts were about to leap out of their chests. If Qian Renxue asked that question, Spirit Hall would explode today!

Huo Yuhao felt Bibi Dong's emotions begin to fluctuate wildly. He hurriedly pulled her into a gentle embrace, continuously soothing her emotions.

Off to the side, Gu Yuena watched Huo Yuhao hold Bibi Dong and pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

Qian Daoliu, meanwhile, stared at Huo Yuhao with astonishment. In that instant, their consciousnesses began to communicate.

"No, Yuhao, you know about this too? Did Bibi Dong tell you? But that shouldn't be possible..."

Qian Daoliu truly could not imagine any reason Bibi Dong would have for telling Huo Yuhao about this. Given Bibi Dong's pride and her love for Huo Yuhao, she could never possibly tell him such a thing.

"Ahem, old man, don't worry about that for now. If your granddaughter keeps making a scene like this, Spirit Hall will need to be rebuilt."

Huo Yuhao had naturally seen it in the memories of the Rakshasa Divine Sense, but there was no way he could tell Qian Daoliu that.

"Then what do you suggest we do? Xue'er is not only my granddaughter, but also your Older Sister, and even your fiancée. Hurry up and think of something!"

"Isn't that what I'm doing? At this point, the most important thing is to stabilize both Xiao Xue and Dong'er's emotions. Let's shift their attention first—make them focus on me..."

After their conversation ended, Huo Yuhao had come up with a plan. Before Qian Renxue could speak, he beat her to it. "Qian Renxue, didn't you ask me before what made me qualified to be named the Holy Son? Do you really want to know?"

Huo Yuhao stood before Qian Renxue with his hands behind his back, his clear words reaching her ears.

As he said this, Huo Yuhao cleverly used the Power of Emotion to stir Qian Renxue's curiosity. Sure enough, after he asked the question, Qian Renxue asked almost instinctively, "Then tell me. Why?"

Not only Huo Yuhao—at this moment, the other Elders, consecrated ones, and the audience below all pricked up their ears.

Under everyone's gaze, Huo Yuhao slowly said, "Because I, Huo Yuhao, am the most gifted Genius in the entire history of Douluo Continent. Not only in all of history—even ten thousand years from now, no one will be able to surpass my talent!"
