The smile on Gu Rong's face vanished instantly. His brows knotted together, and his voice turned cold without a trace of warmth:

"What are you here for?"

As though she had not sensed his rejection at all, Ning Rongrong lifted her skirt and hurried up the steps, reaching for Gu Rong's sleeve:

"Grandpa Bone, Rongrong missed you so much..."

Gu Rong sidestepped, directly avoiding her hand. His voice was as hard as ice chips:

"Don't touch me."

Ning Rongrong's hand froze in midair. A flash of embarrassment crossed her face, but it was quickly replaced by grievance:

"Grandpa Bone, you used to dote on Rongrong the most...

Rongrong knows she was wrong. Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"

Gu Rong crossed his arms and looked down at her. There was none of his former affection in his eyes, only indifference:

"Miss Ning, this old man has already said that I cannot bear being called 'Grandpa' by you.

Say what you came to say. This old man still needs to take his grandson out to hunt soul beasts."

Ning Rongrong bit her lower lip as tears welled up in her eyes.

She turned toward Han Yu, who stood behind Gu Rong, her voice trembling:

"Brother Han Yu, I..."

"Don't call me brother."

Han Yu spoke flatly.

"It makes me sick."

Ning Rongrong's face went pale, and her tears finally spilled over.

Oscar's expression darkened behind her. He stepped forward as if to say something, but Dai Mubai grabbed his shoulder and shook his head.

Tang San stepped forward and calmly cupped his hands toward Gu Rong:

"Senior Bone Douluo, Rongrong truly came to apologize this time.

All of us Shrek Seven Devils came together as well, to show our sincerity."

Gu Rong shot him a sidelong glance and snorted coldly:

"Sincerity?

Your sincerity is blocking the gate of my Ling Tian Sect and delaying my departure?"

Tang San's expression remained unchanged, his tone still gentle:

"You misunderstand, Senior. We merely..."

"Enough."

Han Yu cut him off. His gaze swept across the Shrek group before finally settling on Ning Rongrong.

"Ning Rongrong, what exactly are you trying to do by bringing these people here to find me?"

Ning Rongrong sniffled, wiping her tears with her sleeve. Her voice was thick with sobs:

"Brother Han Yu, I really know I was wrong...

I shouldn't have used Oscar to provoke you, and I shouldn't have been so willful... Will you and Grandpa Bone come back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Father said that as long as you return, he will agree to any conditions..."

Han Yu chuckled softly, but the amusement did not reach his eyes:

"Return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Ning Rongrong, do you think I, Han Yu, cannot survive without your Ning Family?"

"No, that's not what I mean!"

Ning Rongrong hurriedly shook her head.

"I just... just want you to come back, so we can be like before..."

"Like before?"

Gu Rong sneered.

"Back then, this old man was blind enough to treat you like my own granddaughter.

And what happened?

You turned around and cuckolded my grandson, while those two old fools, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, helped cover it up.

Now that you see my Ling Tian Sect is strong and flourishing, you regret it?

Too late!"

Ning Rongrong's face alternated between red and white from the rebuke. Dai Mubai frowned behind her and said in a deep voice:

"Senior Bone Douluo, Rongrong is a girl, after all. Your words are too harsh."

Gu Rong's gaze was like a blade as it stabbed toward Dai Mubai:

"Harsh?

I haven't even spoken about you yet.

Do you think no one knows about that mess of yours in the Star Luo Empire?

A wretch who cannot even tolerate his own brother thinks he is qualified to lecture this old man?"

Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically. His fists clenched tightly, but Tang San held him back firmly.

Ma Hongjun was quick to speak and muttered:

"Wasn't it just breaking off an engagement? Why get so angry?"

The space around Gu Rong suddenly rippled. Ma Hongjun felt his chest tighten and staggered back several steps, his face turning deathly pale.

"Dead Fatty, say one more word, and this old man will cut out your tongue."

Gu Rong said coldly.

Xiao Wu stood at the very back, remaining silent the entire time.

She looked at Han Yu, a complicated emotion flashing through her eyes, but she said nothing.

Seeing that acting spoiled was useless, Ning Rongrong finally stopped crying and bit her lip.

"Grandpa Bone, Brother Han Yu, are you really unwilling to forgive Rongrong?"

Han Yu glanced at her, his tone so calm that it carried not a ripple of emotion:

"Forgive you? Are you worthy?"

Ning Rongrong's entire body trembled as though she had been struck by lightning.

Tang San took a deep breath, stepped forward, and looked directly at Han Yu:

"Sect Master Han, Rongrong has already lowered her head and admitted her mistake. Why must you keep pressing her so hard?

Leave some room for others, so you may meet again in the future."

Han Yu looked as though he had heard a joke. A mocking curve lifted at the corner of his mouth:

"Tang San, I already told you this last time.

Before saying something like that, you should first weigh whether you have the strength to back it up.

Do you?"

Purple light flickered in Tang San's eyes. The Hidden Weapons in his sleeves were poised to strike, but he ultimately did not make a move.

He knew Gu Rong was right beside him.

And Tang San's little movements could not possibly escape Gu Rong's notice.

The instant he saw Xiao Wu.

Gu Rong had already discovered Xiao Wu's identity.

He had also transmitted his voice to Han Yu. Once Han Yu confirmed his sixth Spirit Ring, they would capture Xiao Wu.

But there were too many people now, so there was no need to seize her by force.

Once they left, Gu Rong could use Spatial Shuttle and capture Xiao Wu.

By then, the others could only stare helplessly.

Han Yu was rather impressed by Xiao Wu as well.

She clearly knew his grandfather was a Titled Douluo.

Yet she still dared to follow Ning Rongrong and the others here to block his gate!

Gu Rong waved his hand impatiently:

"Get lost. Don't stand here and offend this old man's eyes.

If you don't leave now, this old man will throw all of you out together."

Ning Rongrong still wanted to say something, but Tang San grabbed her wrist and spoke softly:

"Rongrong, let's go. Today is not the right time."

With teary eyes, Ning Rongrong looked at Gu Rong and Han Yu. Seeing that neither of them showed even the slightest intention of relenting.

She finally turned around in despair and stumbled down the steps.

The rest of Shrek wore varying expressions as they followed behind her and left.

Oscar walked last. He looked back at Han Yu, hesitating as though he wanted to say something, but in the end, he merely sighed and hurried after the others.

Gu Rong and Han Yu closed the gate. They exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

Gu Rong laughed until tears nearly came out. Supporting himself against the doorframe, he slapped his thigh:

"Hahahaha!

This old man has lived for so many years, but I have never seen such a foolish soul beast!

She knows I am a Titled Douluo, yet she actually dared to deliver herself to my door!"

Han Yu could not help laughing as well and shook his head:

"She probably thought we would not notice.

No matter how well a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast concealed its aura after transforming, it was as obvious as a torch in the night before a Titled Douluo."

"Exactly!"

Gu Rong wiped away the tears he had laughed out.

"I can understand Tang Hao, that useless fool, protecting that mother and daughter.

But this little rabbit clearly knows what this old man is capable of, yet she still dared to swagger over with those little brats and block our gate.

If that isn't courting death, then what is?"

Han Yu walked over to the table and sat down, lightly tapping his fingers against its surface:

"Grandfather, since she came to us of her own accord, we need not be polite.

My sixth Spirit Ring has yet to be decided, after all."
