In the center of the main hall, Liang Bufan looked at Gu Chenan with piercing eyes.
The onlooking crowd also had expectant looks on their faces.
Ever since they heard that Gu Chenan had become the ancient martial arts champion, they wanted to see Gu Chenan's skills.
However, they didn't dare to ask, because of Gu Chenan's powerful background.
But now, since Liang Bufan took the initiative to invite Gu Chenan to compete, it just happened to satisfy everyone's curiosity.
"Mr. Liang is really skilled, he was actually able to defeat Lin Yu."
However, before Gu Chenan could speak, Liu Mingrui next to Old Master Liu spoke first.
She took out the jade hairpin from her bun, letting her black hair down, then narrowed her eyes at Liang Bufan, "Mr. Liang, why don't you let me try your skills?"
After hearing Gu Chenan's thoughts earlier, Liu Mingrui had decided that no matter what, she could not let Liang Bufan make a move on Gu Chenan.
She absolutely could not stand to see her man get hurt in any way.
Liu Mingrui's stand surprised everyone.
But soon everyone understood, this was Liu Mingrui's act of protecting her husband.
Although they didn't understand why Liu Mingrui was doing this, since Gu Chenan was the ancient martial arts champion after all, no one asked.
Even if Liu Mingrui's stand didn't satisfy their curiosity about Gu Chenan's strength, they wouldn't complain.
Because neither Liu Mingrui nor Gu Chenan were people they could afford to offend.
But at this moment, Lin Yu's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Mingrui stand up.
Because he had come late earlier, he didn't see Old Master Liu say that the man Liu Mingrui liked was Gu Chenan.
So he didn't think at all that Liu Mingrui was protecting Gu Chenan.
In his eyes, Liu Mingrui was angry that Liang Bufan defeated him, so she wanted to teach Liang Bufan a lesson.
As the protagonist, Lin Yu was extremely arrogant. Even if Liu Mingrui or Su Qianmo told him directly that they liked Gu Chenan,
Lin Yu would still think they were just protecting him.
There were plenty of arrogant protagonists like Long Yao Tian and Ye Liang Zhan, and Lin Yu was naturally among them.
Seeing Liu Mingrui stand up, Lin Yu looked at her with a gratified gaze.
At this moment in Lin Yu's eyes, Liu Mingrui was like a ray of redemptive holy light shining down to pierce the endless long night, bright and dazzling.
He couldn't help but be moved, his eyes even turned red as he lowered his head and gently wiped them.
Mingrui, you're too good to me!
You got angry because Liang Bufan defeated me, so you want to vent for me?
Silly girl, why do you have to?
You shouldn't target Liang Bufan, it should be Gu Chenan!
If it wasn't for him sabotaging my relationship with Master, how would I have ended up expelled? And how would I have lost to Liang Bufan?
Thinking of this, Lin Yu let out a relieved smile.
But nevermind, don't do big things when you're impatient.
I've officially joined the Black Owl now, and will be going to Suhang for a mission in a few days.
Trust me, Mingrui, what I can't get in Donghai, I will get it all back in Suhang!
After I grow stronger in Suhang, I will definitely kill that scumbag Gu Chenan with my own hands!
...
"Mingrui, what is this about?"
Seeing the aggressive Liu Mingrui in front of him, Liang Bufan had a confused look.
"Hmph!" Liu Mingrui let out a cold snort, "I said, I'm here to compete with you!"
Seeing this scene, Gu Chenan was also baffled.
[Damn, Liu Mingrui is really awesome, not only is she good-looking, but she gets things done!]
[Are you talking about the crazed wife protector?]
[But brother's image is of a big villain, letting a woman stand up doesn't match my image or personality.]
Seeing Gu Chenan's thoughts, Liu Mingrui's brows immediately furrowed.
She turned to Gu Chenan doubtfully.
Gu Chenan you bastard!
Saying I get things done is fine, but saying I'm good-looking, what the hell?
Is that a compliment?
Just then, Gu Chenan had an amused smile, he reached out to stop Liu Mingrui, then looked at Liang Bufan.
Seeing this, Liang Bufan was delighted, thinking Gu Chenan had accepted his challenge. "Master Gu, shall we take this outside to the main hall?"
"Who said I wanted to compete with you?"
Before Liang Bufan could finish speaking, Gu Chenan interrupted out loud.
Damn it, how arrogant can you get?
Although you're powerful, I'm the villain here!
Since my image is of a villain, verbal taunts are only natural.
As long as I don't break character, whatever I do makes sense.
I was just saying, you really think you can make me shit myself?
If I, the villain, don't show off my might, are you taking me for HelloKitty?
Seeing Gu Chenan get angry, the onlooking crowd also quieted down.
They looked at each other, shrugging.
They all knew Gu Chenan was this type of person, so it was no surprise.
But Liang Bufan was greatly humiliated by Gu Chenan's words, he clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.
Yet soon he forced a smile, "Master Gu, my mistake."
Liang Bufan was no protagonist so he didn't have the courage to turn against Gu Chenan. He could only swallow the insult.
But in his heart he was already thinking of tearing Gu Chenan into ten thousand pieces.
No matter how much rage he had, Gu Chenan didn't care.
Liang Bufan was neither protagonist nor important figure. So what if you hate me to the bone?
"Chen'an, that was too much," Old Master Liu said with a frown.
From the beginning, Old Master Liu knew Liang Bufan's intentions, and looked down a bit on such childish behavior.
But he didn't show it. And now Gu Chenan's image had risen greatly in his heart, so Old Master Liu wasn't displeased at all.
Rather, he felt this showed Gu Chenan's true nature.
Old Master Liu looked at Liang Bufan again, "Alright, since Chen'an doesn't want to compete, let's end this matter."
Hearing this, Gu Chenan heaved a breath of relief.
Damn, if I'd known it was this simple I wouldn't have worried so much!
Powerful background is great after all. I just needed to get angry and everything's settled!
Liang Bufan nodded, "Yes, Old Master Liu."
He withdrew into the crowd, his gaze filled with resentment as he looked at Gu Chenan.
I don't dare make trouble for you in Donghai, but don't you ever come to Suhang for the rest of your life!
I may not be from a prestigious clan but I have good ties with several major families in Suhang. With their ability, I can make it so you can't stay in Suhang!
Unlike Liang Bufan's resentment, Lin Yu looked at Gu Chenan smugly.
He smirked, thinking to himself: Hoshino Kannon has become Qianmo's personal bodyguard now. From now on, you can forget about laying your hands on Qianmo.
And I'll have Hoshino Kannon find an opportunity to finish you off!
Even if she fails, once I gain some influence in Suhang, I'll rush back like lightning!
By then, you'll only have begging for mercy left!
Under this double insurance, Lin Yu was already imagining Gu Chenan kneeling before him begging for mercy.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
