“Oh no!”
Shen Xuan’s expression changed drastically.
“They found me so quickly!”
Boom!
Boom!
In an instant, the ground shook even more violently.
“Gu Brother!”
Shen Xuan’s face turned pale.
“I need to leave quickly. We’ll meet again…”
As soon as he finished the word “again.”
He had already vanished.
“Young Master.”
A Sha leaned over.
“Why did he run? That… Big Sister doesn’t seem like a bad person.”
“…”
Gu Han was speechless.
These two were simply asking for trouble!
Bang!
Suddenly!
A tremor far more violent than before suddenly came, and amidst the shaking of the earth, this Vicious Beast cave actually seemed to be unable to bear it, collapsing directly!
Crazy!
Gu Han cursed inwardly and quickly pulled A Sha out.
As soon as he came outside.
He was stunned.
In front of him, in a deep pit several zhangs deep, Shen Xuan lay at the bottom, a purple crystal vine pressing on him, making it extremely difficult for him to even move!
Not far away.
The female warrior strode forward with powerful steps, reaching the edge of the pit in a few steps.
“Run!”
She sneered.
“Why aren’t you running now?”
“Murong Yan!”
Shen Xuan’s face was filled with indignation.
“Don’t force me! I, Shen Xuan, am a man who values his face! I will absolutely not agree to marry into your family!”
Murong… Yan?
Gu Han’s expression was peculiar.
Such a delicate and gentle name, paired with this female warrior… it was simply too fitting!
“Heh heh.”
Murong Yan sneered.
“Today, either you come back with this old lady, or you stay here forever!”
“Even if you kill me, I won’t go back!”
“You’re just like those other people, you think I’m ugly, right?!”
“That’s not true, don’t be so unreasonable!”
“…”
“Let’s go.”
Seeing the two arguing endlessly, Gu Han had no intention of staying any longer and prepared to leave with A Sha.
“Kid!”
Suddenly.
Murong Yan’s voice came from behind him.
“Do you also think I’m not good enough for him?”
“…”
Gu Han turned back helplessly.
“No.”
“This old lady wants you to speak your Heart-Nature!”
Murong Yan seemed very dissatisfied with Gu Han’s answer.
Gu Han looked at her calmly.
“This is my Heart-Nature.”
“…”
Murong Yan was silent for a moment.
She could feel that Gu Han was not lying.
“But…”
For some reason.
Facing such honest words, her previous boldness seemed to have vanished, and her expression was a little awkward.
“You see, I… am very ugly.”
“Does your appearance have anything to do with whether he likes you or whether you are worthy of him?”
“En?”
Murong Yan was stunned.
This was the first time she had heard such a statement.
This…
Does it really not matter?
“If you like him, and he likes you, then you are worthy of him! How outsiders see it is their business, and their opinions have never mattered!”
“Well said…!”
In the pit.
Shen Xuan couldn’t help but cheer.
Gu Han’s words resonated deeply with him.
Murong Yan was silent again.
Although she appeared rough on the surface, due to her appearance, she naturally had some inferiority deep down. The reason she relentlessly pestered Shen Xuan to marry into her family was nothing more than to cling to that last bit of self-esteem in her Heart-Nature, wanting to prove to outsiders that she was not unloved.
But Gu Han’s words suddenly made her realize.
Doing this…
Actually had no meaning at all!
“A Sha.”
Gu Han seemed to understand her thoughts and turned to A Sha.
“Did people used to call you silly?”
“En!”
A Sha nodded.
“Many, many times!”
“Do you care?”
“No!”
She hugged Gu Han’s arm.
“Because I have Young Master!”
After a pause, she added, “And chicken legs!”
“See?”
Gu Han smiled.
“My A Sha understands things better than you do!”
Murong Yan could naturally see that Gu Han’s eyes were clear, and he spoke from the bottom of his Heart-Nature.
“What’s your name?”
“Gu Han.”
“Gu Han…”
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly!
Murong Yan took a few big steps, covering the distance in two strides, and came directly in front of Gu Han, raising her large hand high and bringing it down heavily on his shoulder.
“Gu Brother!”
Hiss!
Half of Gu Han’s body went numb, feeling as if he had been crushed by a giant rock!
The Murong Yan in front of him…
Had actually grown another head taller!
He looked down.
His feet were already deeply embedded in the ground.
He was a little suspicious.
Murong Yan was retaliating against him!
“What you said makes a lot of sense!”
Murong Yan seemed oblivious, patting Gu Han’s shoulder twice more.
Although her Heart-Nature knot was not completely broken by Gu Han’s few words, it had dissipated quite a bit, and in her excitement, she naturally used a bit too much force.
“Big… Big Sister!”
A Sha was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.
“Stop patting! Young Master… Young Master is almost as tall as me!”
“Ah?”
Murong Yan finally reacted, quickly grabbed Gu Han’s shoulder, and pulled him out of the mud like pulling a radish.
“I’m sorry, Gu Brother.”
“Actually, listening to you just now, I suddenly understood something. I was too excited for a moment, so…”
Gu Han’s face was dark.
If it weren’t for his abundant spiritual power, these few slaps would have directly shattered him!
At the same time, he was secretly surprised.
Putting everything else aside.
Murong Yan’s strength was the greatest he had ever seen, without a doubt!
No wonder.
She could easily smash a fourth-order Yao Beast to death.
Subconsciously.
He glanced at the purple crystal vine that was pressing down on Shen Xuan.
This…
Was definitely an extraordinary treasure!
“Senior Brother.”
Just then.
Murong Yan waved her hand and retrieved the purple crystal vine.
“You come out, I… won’t make you marry into my family anymore. I know you’re truly good to me. Before, I cared too much about what those people thought, which is why I pressured you so much… From now on, I won’t!”
“Junior Sister.”
Shen Xuan crawled out of the pit, covered in dirt, so excited he wanted to cry.
“You finally understand!”
“Gu Brother, thank you!”
Towards Gu Han.
He was naturally full of gratitude.
With just a few words, he had healed a significant part of Murong Yan’s long-standing Heart-Nature ailment, which was a pleasant surprise among surprises!
If there weren’t other people present.
He would have almost knelt before Gu Han.
It was a shame they hadn’t met sooner!
If he had appeared earlier, why would he have needed to hide and live in such fear?
“Hiss…”
Gu Han rubbed his swollen shoulder.
“You two, if there’s nothing else, I’ll…”
“Gu Brother, where are you taking this little girl?”
“Great Qi Martial Academy.”
A Sha’s face was filled with pride.
“My Young Master is the most Genius person in Tianwu City!”
“Martial Academy?”
Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
“Good, good, isn’t this a coincidence! However, with Gu Brother’s abilities, a small Martial Academy won’t be able to keep you. At that time… hehe, we will meet again!”
Gu Han glanced at his shoulder.
Hmm…
His bones were almost broken.
Meet again?
Heh heh, sorry, it’s best if we never meet again!
He cupped his hands without sincerity and pulled A Sha away.
“Gu Brother, wait!”
He hadn’t gone far yet.
Bang!
Bang!
Behind him.
Murong Yan chased after him again.
Hiss!
Gu Han’s mouth twitched, and he quickly turned sideways.
One more pat.
He would really fall apart!
“Gu Brother, take this!”
Unexpectedly.
Murong Yan handed him a palm-sized, dark iron token.
“yuan crystal and Medicinal Pills are too vulgar, so I won’t give them to you. Take this token instead!”
“When you go to Great Qi Royal Capital, this item will come in handy. As long as it’s a shop opened by my Murong Family, with this token, you’ll be the most honored guest among guests!”
“…”
Gu Han was speechless.
Actually, yuan crystal and Medicinal Pills were quite good.
But he also didn’t want to refuse her good intentions, so he could only accept it.
“Then thank you, Murong… Miss.”
“You’re being too polite!”
Murong Yan found Gu Han more and more pleasing to the eye, and feigned displeasure, saying, “You’re also being distant, just call me Big Sister!”
“Yes!”
Gu Han’s face twitched again.
“Murong… Big Sister!”
He forced himself to call out, only wanting to get as far away from this eccentric pair as possible, and immediately left in a hurry with A Sha.
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
Seeing Gu Han walk away, Shen Xuan leaned over.
“He’s not simple!”
“What’s not simple?”
“This Gu Brother, at such a young age, his Heart-Nature is more stable than yours or mine, and he can say such words. He’s either a Reincarnation of a great power, or he has experienced unimaginable hardships! Whichever it is, he’s a rare talent, hard to find in a hundred years!”
“That’s right, those useless people in the Sect can’t compare to him… En?”
Murong Yan reacted.
“Senior Brother, are you thinking of…”
“No rush.”
Shen Xuan smiled.
“Let him train in the Martial Academy first. When the Sect reopens its gates, you and I will bring him back together!”
“That’s a good idea!”
“But speaking of which, Junior Sister, you just gave away that token. If Murong Elder finds out, he’ll probably be half-dead with anger.”
“Hmph!”
Murong Yan glared at him.
“The token is in this old lady’s hands, I’ll give it to whoever I want! Besides, I trust this Gu Brother!”
“Alright, alright.”
Shen Xuan had a headache.
“Give it to whoever you want, I can’t control it, it’s just…”
At this point.
He suddenly felt a little awkward.
“Junior Sister, let’s not mention this matter of marrying into the family again! Cough cough… How about after we go back, I ask Master to propose to Murong Elder? Although I can’t marry into your family, I can marry you, and besides, those two are constantly arguing about us, and I find it quite annoying.”
“Senior Brother!”
Murong Yan’s eyes reddened.
“I… I won’t hit you again!”
In a moment of emotion.
She hugged Shen Xuan tightly.
“Cough cough…”
Shen Xuan’s face turned red from being suffocated.
“Broken… Broken! Junior Sister! My bones… are broken! Let go quickly…”
…
Under an ancient tree over ten zhangs tall.
A Sha carefully applied Medicinal Powder to Gu Han, her face filled with distress.
And Gu Han held the rather heavy, dark iron token, turning it over and over, examining it endlessly.
The craftsmanship was a bit rough.
A ‘Murong’ character on the front, and a ‘Yan’ character on the back.
That’s it?
He pouted.
And a distinguished guest?
It would have been more practical to give him ten or eight thousand yuan crystal.
“Young Master.”
After applying the Medicinal Powder, A Sha looked around.
“Shall we continue looking for Spirit Medicine?”
Spirit Medicine?
Gu Han was stunned.
That’s right!
He had been so caught up thinking about Murong Yan that he almost forgot about the purple crystal vine in his hand!
From Shen Xuan’s tone.
This item was indeed extraordinarily valuable!
En?
Suddenly.
His expression changed, and he looked into the distance.
“Young Master, what’s wrong?”
“Someone!”
His spiritual sense was keen, and he naturally heard faint footsteps in the distance.
And…
It wasn’t just one person!
He slowly stood up, took his long sword in hand, and gently shielded A Sha behind him.
A moment later.
Rustle rustle rustle…
The footsteps grew closer and closer.
And just then.
A stumbling figure appeared before him, looking as if he had suffered serious injuries.
“It’s you?”
Seeing the person.
Gu Han was stunned.
This injured person was none other than Chen Ping, whom he had met in front of Dr. Xue’s door that day!
“Little… Gu Brother?”
Chen Ping was clearly stunned for a moment too.
“Quick, run!”
As if remembering something, he quickly urged.
“They’re catching up!”
After speaking.
As if to avoid implicating Gu Han.
He actually changed direction and plunged into the dense forest.
“Where is he? Where did he run off to?”
“Hmph, he’s so heavily injured, he can’t run far, search!”
“Be careful, don’t let him jump the gun and destroy the Medicinal Pill given by Dr. Xue, or all our efforts will be in vain!”
“…”
Along with the voices.
Four or five figures chased from not far away, and just happened to run into Gu Han face to face!
