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.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.

When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on...
