Gu Han?
Following her gaze, everyone then noticed Gu Han and his group not far away. The bustling great hall, which had been filled with constant laughter and chatter, suddenly fell silent.
Everyone felt sowhat complicated about Gu Han. The impression the previous battle left on them was too profound.
The eldest prince actually lost to a nobody? No... now, he is no longer a nobody. Soon, his na would spread throughout the capital, throughout the Ten Nations, and even reach the Upper Sect.
Jealousy, envy, resentnt—all sorts of emotions tangled together, left them speechless.
The happiest person was i Yun, who stood alone on the edge of the crowd, seeming out of place. He smiled and ca forward. “You kept waiting for so long!”
Ah Sha shrank back in fear, whispering, “Young Master, he... he doesn’t seem human...”
Gu Han also felt a bit flustered. “Ah Sha, w-what do you an?”
Ah Sha mustered her courage and took another look at i Yun. “There’s way too much black qi on him!”
i Yun’s smile froze on his face. Such a pretty little girl, but her words are so sharp...
Regardless, he tried hard to force a kind smile. “Young lady, look at —”
The few of them stepped back in unison.
Unable to contain his anger, i Yun was furious. “That’s too much! I am still your instructor!”
The fatty couldn’t take it anymore. “Stop! Instructor i, just... just say what you want to say from over there, but don’t co any closer!”
Gu Han nodded. “Right! We can hear you clearly!”
Chief Steward Li looked wary. “i Yun, stay away from His Highness. Otherwise, I won’t be nice.”
Full of grievances, i Yun opened his mouth several tis, but ultimately said nothing. He returned to his original spot with a dejected look on his face. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The crowd looked at each other. Since when did Instructor i beco this terrifying?
The fatty contemptuously patted Jiang Feng’s shoulder. “Tsk tsk. Both are princes, yet look at your shabby residence, then look at Redhead’s place—it’s like heaven and earth.”
Chief Steward Li wanted to beat him up.
Jiang Feng smiled wryly. “Brother Fatty, my elder brother’s treatnt is sothing I just cannot compare to.”
Just then, Ah Sha drooled, captivated by the pile of spirit food in the center of the hall. “Young Master, it slls so good!”
Jiang Feng sighed with emotion. “It seems that Elder Brother has really gone all out this ti.”
The spirit food was carefully prepared using the finest parts of demonic beasts, enriched by various precious spirit fruits. Not only was the taste excellent, but its benefits for cultivators were imnse, even better than pills.
Of course, the price was also hefty.
The fatty nudged his chin. “Let’s eat. What’s the point of going to a banquet if you’re not even going to eat or drink?”
Gu Han patted Ah Sha’s head. “Go ahead.”
Ah Sha nodded and grabbed a fragrant roasted beast leg. Without caring about the grease, she hugged the foot-long piece of at to her chest. Her face was full of happiness and contentnt.
Suddenly, a voice full of disdain sounded. “Which family’s wild girl is this?! She has no manners at all!”
Although the voice was soft, it was exceptionally clear in the now silent hall.
Ah Sha hesitated for a mont before silently putting the beast leg back. Although she didn’t care about others’ ridicule, she didn’t want to affect Gu Han’s reputation.
Soon, everyone found the owner of the voice—Liu Tong.
In the eldest prince’s residence, Liu Tong felt secure and unafraid. “What? Did I say sothing wrong? It’s like she grew up without parents!”
Ah Sha lowered her head, sowhat sad. “Young Master, I’m sorry...”
Gu Han shoved the beast leg back into her hands. “Silly girl. What are you apologizing for? The fatty is right, attending a banquet is about eating and drinking. You eat as much as you want.”
As he spoke, he stepped forward, walking towards Liu Tong.
Liu Ying, standing in front of Liu Tong, felt her heart sink. “Gu Han, what... what are you doing?”
Gu Han glanced at her. “Move.”
Liu Ying fell silent. She understood Gu Han’s aning. If she didn’t move, she would suffer along with Liu Tong.
Faced with Gu Han, Liu Tong felt weak inside, but he forced himself to act tough. “How dare you! Do you know where this is?!”
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Gu Han didn’t strike, but instead slapped a hand on his shoulder.
“Young Master Liu, you tell .” He pointed at the pile of spirit food, strengthening his grip on Liu Tong. “What are those things for?”
Liu Tong felt intense pain. “You...”
Although his cultivation seed similar to Gu Han’s, in terms of actual strength, he was no different from an ant.
“Let go of !”
Gu Han frowned slightly, applying a bit more force. “Are you deaf? I asked you, what are those things for?”
“Let go of now!”
“You’re not going to answer ?”
A clear sound of bone cracking reached everyone’s ears, followed by a miserable scream.
“AAAH!!”
Everyone was secretly alard. This guy not only had great strength, but his courage was definitely not average.
i Yun wanted to step out and diate several tis, but held back. He understood that Gu Han would not listen to him.
Only the fatty was excited, standing there stirring up trouble. “Hey! Say it! If you don’t speak up, that arm is done for!”
Right at that mont, a sowhat shrill female voice rang out. “How audacious! This is the eldest prince’s residence! Young Master Liu is the eldest prince’s cousin...”
The fatty was amused. “Oh? An old acquaintance!”
The one who spoke was the woman he had slapped wildly the other day.
The fatty flickered, instantly appearing in front of the woman. He smiled mischievously, raising his hand. “What? Your injuries aren’t fully healed yet, right? Does your face still hurt?”
The woman trembled with fear. Her eyes rolled back, and she actually fainted.
The fatty curled his lip. “Scared of what? I’m a man who cherishes beauty and knows how to treat won kindly.”
Everyone cursed inwardly. To hell, he cherishes beauty and knows how to treat won kindly!
On the other hand, Liu Tong wailed incessantly. He could already feel that his bones had been crushed by Gu Han. As he beaded with sweat from the pain, he admitted defeat on the spot, “It’s... it’s... for... eating...”
Gu Han looked at Ah Sha. “Hear that? Hurry up and eat.”
Ah Sha was instantly filled with happiness, and she happily gnawed on the beast leg.
After seeing Ah Sha’s expression, Liu Ying suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion rise in her heart. It was unclear and indescribable, but it made her extrely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, soone scread furiously from outside, full of killing intent, “The audacity! How dare you injure my son, I’ll kill you!”
Liu Tong’s face lit up with joy. “Father, quick... quick, save !”
The next mont, a figure flashed in from outside, throwing a palm strike towards Gu Han. The spirit power scattering from him actually made everyone feel short of breath.
Everyone’s hearts tightened. The newcor had a cultivation level of at least the fourth stage of Essence Gathering!
“Let him go!” the man said.
Gu Han’s expression turned cold. “He’s your son? Well, I was just teaching him a lesson for you!”
Boom!
Gu Han turned sharply, unleashing his full spirit power to et the oncoming palm strike. The violent spirit power pressed down, forcing everyone to step back.
In an instant, two palms collided. A miserable scream sounded as that rather imposing figure flew out faster than he had arrived. From beginning to end, no one even got a clear look at his face.
Amid the crowd, only He Zhong barely managed to catch a glimpse of Gu Han’s movent. His tone was full of bitterness. “H-he’s stronger than a few days ago!”
Soone faintly said from behind him, “Don’t compare yourself to him.”
He Zhong quickly turned around. “Instructor Han? Why?”
At so point, Han Fu had already stood behind him. Still, He Zhong was sowhat unwilling to let go. Han Fu didn’t speak further, and only sighed.
If you compare yourself with him, you’ll just be in despair.
Besides Han Fu, the other instructors had also arrived one after another. The last to enter were Deputy Deans Wu and Feng. Everyone hurriedly bowed in greeting. Wu and Feng waved their hands, then began a private conversation. Earlier, they had witnessed the scene of Gu Han making his move.
“What’s your view?”
“I can’t be wrong, it’s the Supre Stage. After so many years, our Great Qi Martial Academy finally has a promising seedling.”
Elder Wu glanced at the leisurely fatty, sowhat hesitant. “That one’s not bad either. It’s just...”
The two looked at each other and instantly reached a conclusion. He’s just a bit shaless!
Elder Feng secretly shook his head. “What do you think? Does he have a chance?”
Elder Wu sighed. “Let’s see. At any rate, he has more hope than our so-called number one genius of the imperial capital, the Eldest Prince.”
Elder Feng frowned slightly. “Speaking of which, I wonder which one the Upper Sect sent this ti.”
Elder Wu shook his head. “There’s no need to guess. It’s probably just soone connected to him. It seems the eldest prince is quite determined to control the Martial Academy. Not only has he won over Commander Zhou and the others, but he’s also invited a backer. Sigh, turbulent tis!”
***
Not far away, Gu Han carefully wiped the grease from the corner of Ah Sha’s mouth.
Beside him, the fatty kept egging him on. “That’s it? If it were , I wouldn’t stand for it. Tsk tsk, why did you only cripple one of his arms? Why not be more decisive and just kill him?”
Gu Han gave him a side eye. You call that decisive? That’s just killing!
Right at that mont, a group of people walked out from behind the screen in the center of the hall. Du Teng was at the front, followed closely by Jiang Hong and Yu Hua, among others.
Upon seeing Jiang Hong, Liu Tong, whose face was pale from pain, seed to have found a lifeline. “C-Cousin, you’re finally here! This person is just audacious, he actually hurt . You—”
Jiang Hong glared at him fiercely. “Shut up! You good-for-nothing!”
Liu Tong didn’t dare say another word. The venom and hatred in his eyes grew even stronger.
Jiang Hong’s gaze swept around, instantly landing on Gu Han and the fatty. “Did you do this?”
He didn’t need to guess. The only ones who had a grudge against him and the nerve to do such a thing were these two.
Haunted by his past experiences of taking the bla, the fatty quickly said, “Redhead, don’t talk nonsense! I’ve got nothing to do with this!”
Gu Han, who hadn’t even said anything yet, glanced at him. Huh? This fatty’s scared?
Even though he hadn’t planned to let the fatty take the bla this ti.
“I did it.”
“Reason?”
“This person lacks etiquette. I was teaching him a lesson on his father’s behalf.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.
