Guang Ling: I Was Set Up!

Qian Daoliu brought Xiao Mo to the training grounds. On a whim, he decided to train her today.

Xiao Mo was quite interested as well. She wanted to be as cool as Qian Daoliu, so no one would dare bully her!

"Great-Great-Grandfather, how are you going to train me? Boxing?"

As she spoke, Xiao Mo dropped into an unsteady horse stance and wildly swung her little fists forward.

Qian Daoliu's heart melted at the sight, and he thought to himself.

As expected of my great-granddaughter. She's far too adorable!

Before Qian Daoliu could speak, an incomparably domineering laugh rang out from afar.

"Xiao Mo, that's not how you use your fists. Come, let your Second Great-Grandfather teach you how to box."

Golden Crocodile and the other worshippers had all arrived, which made Qian Daoliu somewhat displeased.

"Why aren't you cultivating properly? What are you doing here? Get lost and go cultivate."

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, the other worshippers simply chose to ignore him. Guang Ling even teased him.

"Big Brother, listen to yourself. You aren't praying before the Angel Statue, so what are you doing here?"

Qian Daoliu clicked his tongue and silently drew the Angelic Holy Sword as he looked at Guang Ling.

"Fifth Brother! It seems you've been lacking exercise lately. How about Big Brother helps train you?"

Guang Ling shuddered. He had no desire to get beaten up by Qian Daoliu. The other worshippers might only put on a show, but his big brother truly did not hold back!

"Big Brother~ Big Brother~, can you really bear to hit me? I'm still just a child!"

"Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪"∠) Blegh."

The other worshippers all made retching faces. Guang Ling acting coquettishly was enough to make them sick.

Xiao Mo happily waved her arms and legs in greeting before running over to Guang Ling.

"Fifth Great-Grandfather, Xiao Mo is a child too!"

Guang Ling scooped Xiao Mo up and smiled at her.

"That's right. You're a child, I'm an old child. We're both children."

Qian Daoliu instantly flashed before Guang Ling, snatched Xiao Mo back, and warned him.

"Fifth Brother, if you keep leading Xiao Mo astray, don't blame the sword in my hand for showing no mercy."

After saying that, he kicked Guang Ling in the backside, sending him flying and face-first into the dirt.

Guang Ling scrambled to his feet and roared at Qian Daoliu, "I was careless—I didn't dodge! Big Brother launched a sneak attack! You have no martial virtue!"

Qian Daoliu snorted. Martial virtue, his ass. He wished he could beat Guang Ling up right now to vent his anger.

As Qian Daoliu looked at Guang Ling, a wicked idea arose in his heart, and he began to smile maliciously.

The moment Guang Ling saw Qian Daoliu's smile, he became alert. He knew Qian Daoliu put on the appearance of a gentleman before outsiders, but around his old brothers, he was downright devious.

Guang Ling wanted to run, but a force of radiant soul power trapped him in place. Qian Daoliu stepped forward and said.

"Since we're training Xiao Mo, how about you spar with her?"

Guang Ling's heart skipped a beat. He had specifically consulted Su Yan and Qian Renxue about Xiao Mo.

That was why Xiao Mo liked him so much, but it also meant he understood her personality.

If he really sparred with Xiao Mo, he definitely would not be able to bring himself to hit her. But if he did not use his true strength, Xiao Mo would be unhappy.

And if he hurt Xiao Mo, he could forget about seeing her smile for the next few months.

He wanted to refuse, but Qian Daoliu would not allow it. This was too difficult!!

Xiao Mo, however, was rather delighted to hear it. She also wanted to practice with Guang Ling.

Helpless, Guang Ling could only steel himself and walk onto the platform, though there was not the slightest smile on his face.

Seeing Guang Ling's mournful expression, Xiao Mo frowned and said unhappily.

"Does Fifth Great-Grandfather not like Xiao Mo? Why does your face look as ugly as if you're crying?"

Guang Ling immediately smiled at Xiao Mo, though his tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"No, no. I was just tricked by an old swindler, so I'm not very happy."

Naturally, that dissatisfaction was directed at Qian Daoliu, but Xiao Mo tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"With Fifth Great-Grandfather's strength, wouldn't it be enough to give that old swindler a beating?"

Guang Ling could only smile bitterly. If he could beat the old man, would he still be wearing such a miserable expression?

The other worshippers were all holding back their laughter. Seeing Guang Ling suffer was indescribably satisfying.

Seeing the expression on Guang Ling's face as though he had eaten shit, Qian Daoliu no longer cared much about being called an old swindler.

"Alright, let's begin!"

Xiao Mo nodded and swung her fists at Guang Ling. Her movements were comical, yet somewhat adorable.

Guang Ling immediately spread his Ice Wings and flew into the air to evade her, leaving Xiao Mo staring foolishly upward.

Although Xiao Mo had awakened the Angel Martial Soul, she still did not know how to fly, and Qian Daoliu had not taught her either.

"Fifth Great-Grandfather, you're cheating! You're bullying me because I can't fly. Get down here!"

Guang Ling could only helplessly shake his head and slowly descend. Xiao Mo immediately charged at him with her fists swinging again.

The situation in the arena now was that Xiao Mo chased after Guang Ling with her fists raised.

Guang Ling did not dare use soul power and could only dodge around the arena. Rather than a spar, it looked more like a game of chase.

But Xiao Mo's stamina could not compare to Guang Ling's. After running for only a short while, she was panting heavily and plopped down on the ground.

Xiao Mo sniffled, tears glistening in her eyes as she looked at Guang Ling and choked out.

"I don't want to play with Fifth Great-Grandfather anymore. I can't catch up to you at all, boohoo."

Seeing Xiao Mo on the verge of tears, Guang Ling hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.

"Xiao Mo, don't cry. Fifth Great-Grandfather won't run anymore, alright? Don't cry."

Xiao Mo rubbed her eyes, but a sly smile flashed across her lips.

"Take my Angelic Holy Headbutt!"

Xiao Mo suddenly sprang to her feet and rammed her head into Guang Ling's chin, dislocating his jaw and knocking him straight to the ground.

Because Guang Ling had not released his soul power and was not guarded against Xiao Mo, she successfully caught him off guard.

Xiao Mo did not fare much better. A small bump rose on her head, and the pain made her bare her teeth.

Still, Xiao Mo wore a victorious smile as she looked at Guang Ling.

"Fifth Great-Grandfather, the move you taught me is pretty good!"

Guang Ling lay on the ground with a dead look in his eyes. Back then, he had encouraged Xiao Mo to use her cuteness to bully the other worshippers.

He never expected the boomerang to come back and hit him. What goes around comes around; heaven spared no one.

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu walked onto the arena. He first used soul power to heal the bump on Xiao Mo's head before walking over to Guang Ling.

Guang Ling thought Qian Daoliu was going to heal him too. He was about to say there was no need, but Qian Daoliu directly sealed his soul power and mocked him instead.

"What trash! You can't even beat Xiao Mo. Don't be a Spirit Worshipper anymore. Go beg for food at the gates of Soulless City."

Guang Ling helplessly turned his head away, unwilling to look at Qian Daoliu, while inwardly cursing at the top of his lungs.

666, you old bastard set me up. Just wait—one day I'll teach Xiao Mo to pry open your coffin!

Qian Daoliu did not care what Guang Ling was thinking. He took a bowl from his Soul Tool and threw it at him.

Then he spoke to Qian Jun and Demon Subduer.

"Throw Fifth Brother out at the gates of Spirit City. Until he gets a hundred... no, ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, do not unseal his soul power."

At that, the light completely vanished from Guang Ling's eyes. He hurriedly grabbed Qian Daoliu's trouser leg and begged.

"Big Brother, you can't treat me like this!"

Qian Daoliu ignored Guang Ling, turned around, and left with Xiao Mo in his arms, as though he had made up his mind about something.

Qian Jun and Demon Subduer, however, were delighted. Guang Ling had relied on his strength to wreak havoc on their vegetable gardens plenty of times. Today, they had finally found a chance to avenge themselves.

"Fifth Brother, don't blame us. We truly feel sorry for you too."

Guang Ling struggled, trying to escape the clutches of the two brothers as he shouted furiously.

"If you feel sorry for me, then go a little easier on me!!!"
