Chapter 108

Gu Rong's silhouette slowly landed beside Gu Xuan, and Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang also arrived beside Meng Yiran.

During this time, Meng Shu returned the token Gu Xuan had given him, Gu Xuan nodded and smiled at Meng Shu, saying, "Senior, you've worked hard; if you have time, come visit the sect."

Meng Shu laughed heartily upon hearing this, waved his hand, and said, "Old man, I didn't do anything; I don't deserve such praise."

Gu Xuan then clasped his hands and said, "Senior, you understand the greater good; I also hope to exchange a few words with you."

After saying that, Gu Xuan said no more, but carefully examined Xiao Wu, who had already fainted in Gu Rong's hand, a flash of greed passing through his eyes.

This is a set of hundred-thousand-year soul rings and soul bones; even if the attributes don't match mine, the quality of a hundred-thousand-year item is enough to compensate for that.

Moreover, the skills attached to Xiao Wu's soul rings and soul bones are enough to be considered divine techniques—invincible golden body, void, instant transmission—absolutely a jack-of-all-trades ability; although Gu Xuan was surprised that such god-like skills came from a rabbit with no notable bloodline, he couldn't resist how wonderful it was.

As for pity, for Xiao Wu, Gu Xuan feels no pity toward her; looking at the original work, this rabbit isn't anything good.

Tang San hunts other soul beasts, labeling them evil soul beasts, but when it comes to killing her relatives and friends, he can't do that.

However, I mentioned that Great Bright and Two Bright still became Tang San's soul ring and soul bone, right? This person is really despicable; to others he's an enemy, to Tang San it's just natural.

Despicable or not!

Afterwards, Gu Xuan turned his head to look at Tang San and shouted, 'Tang San.'

Hearing that shout, Tang San raised his head, not daring to look directly at Gu Xuan; as a human Soul Master, if he stood in Gu Xuan's shoes, Tang San could understand Gu Xuan's current feelings.

The one who kindly helped is actually a soul beast? 'Sir...' Tang San felt bitter inside.

Gu Xuan took a deep breath and said, 'I know you might not want to believe this fact, but you must understand that no one does something for no reason. This rabbit cannot be given to you for now; during this time, you should think carefully about your past with this rabbit, ask yourself sincerely, do you really know her?'

'Forgot to remind you, after a soul beast transforms and cultivates, they must have long-term contact with a human Soul Master to quickly increase their strength; when they maintain long-term contact with a human Soul Master and their strength continually rises, breaking through level sixty, they can enter maturity. I think this rabbit might be using your innocence.'

Saying this, Gu Xuan felt nauseated himself, but to disgust Tang San he could only continue: 'Although I've just met you, I can see you're not ill-intentioned; you wouldn't be someone who aids a tyrant.'

'Perhaps that's why this rabbit intentionally approached you; after all, when a 100,000-year soul beast cultivates, the experiences in its mind are not reset. Think back carefully: has this rabbit ever done anything that made you uncomfortable? That might be your human nature warning you.'

'However, at that time you might have already been bewitched by this rabbit; otherwise why would you regard her as your sister?'

Listening to Gu Xuan's gentle, warm words like a spring breeze, Tang San's inner numbness and collapse gradually stabilized, and he began to think seriously.

It seems... truly as the other party said!

Could it be that Xiao Wu approached me really just for cultivation? To use me? After six years of constant companionship, Tang San temporarily couldn't accept this outcome.

However, Gu Xuan's words are undeniable, after all Xiao Wu's true form is a soul beast; even though Xiao Wu has returned to Shrek Academy now, others might not feel at ease—what if the Titan Giant Ape comes again? That would mean total annihilation. Feeling conflicted, Tang San slowly said: 'Sir, I... I have a request.'

Listening to Tang San's words, Gu Xuan's face still bore a spring-breeze smile: 'Speak, within my ability I will not delay, after all whoever experiences this cannot accept it immediately.'

Hearing this, Tang San felt warm inside; Gu Xuan gave him great respect and understanding, making him feel deeply moved.

Tang San wondered, how could there be someone like Gu Xuan in the world, so righteous and understanding?

Not only his appearance and physique are heavenly, his talent is likewise, and he's so loving—this must be a deity incarnate to save the world!

After organizing his thoughts for an afternoon, Tang San said: 'I... I want to talk to Xiao Wu.'

Hearing this, Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, 'Want to talk? Talking is impossible; you'll never speak again in this lifetime.' His smile faded a bit, and he calmly said, 'Tang San, forgive my bluntness, your current state cannot think rationally; you need some time to calm down.'

After a pause, Gu Xuan said: 'How about this: you first calm down for a while; I study at Tian Dou Royal Academy; when you've calmed down, you can come find me; I can guarantee this rabbit won't be harmed temporarily—what do you think?'

Hearing this, not to mention Tang San, the others from Shrek Academy and Meng Shu etc. all held their breath; setting aside other things, not killing this rabbit means at least losing a 100,000-year soul bone.

If someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect breaks through to rank ninety, wouldn't this rabbit just be the icing on the cake? Gu Xuan actually can keep this rabbit temporarily for Tang San's mood? This also means Gu Xuan will have to oppose the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

As an old actor, Gu Rong instantly understood, coughed and said: 'Xiao Xuan, your kind heart and soft ears need fixing; it was good when you were young, but now you're not little anymore, many things aren't as simple as you imagine; how to handle this rabbit still needs the sect leader's decision.'

Hearing Gu Rong's words, everyone's opinion of Gu Xuan's kindness rose another level; after all, even Gu Rong couldn't stand it—this must mean his usual kindness has reached what extent.

Upon hearing, Gu Xuan glanced at Tang San; Tang San naturally didn't dare to confront Gu Rong, after all a Titled Douluo could crush him with a finger.

Tang San's eyes never left Gu Xuan, wearing an expression like 'if you don't agree, I'll die before you,' making Gu Xuan feel nauseated inside, yet his face still smiled, though with a hint of bitterness.

Gu Xuan said to Gu Rong: 'Grandfather, this is the last time, grandson will be willful one last time; you see Tang San doesn't look like a degenerate person; if we don't comply with his wish, he might never be able to get out of this knot for his whole life.'

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Tang San was so moved he almost knelt; fortunately, the Tang Sect's custom of kneeling to heaven, earth, and parents made him hold back from kneeling.

Although he can't accept this fact, Gu Xuan is right; he now needs to calm down, Xiao Wu has Gu Xuan this good person as guarantor, keeping her temporarily is fine; he just wants to confirm with Xiao Wu whether she deceived him.

After he calms down, then he'll ask, so that his feelings for Xiao Wu don't affect his thinking.

Article 3 of the Tang Sect's Xuan Tian Treasure Record General Outline: as long as you confirm the opponent is an enemy and there is a way to kill them, you need not show mercy; otherwise it only adds trouble to yourself.

Tang San constantly recited the Tang Sect's general outline in his heart, trying to suppress his private desires.

After saying that, Gu Xuan didn't say more, addressing the others from Shrek Academy: 'You should all be students of the same academy; I hope today's affair won't disturb your studies; we will take this rabbit away to handle it; I will also inform the sect leader about your academy's situation, so people can protect you for a while, lest the Titan Giant Ape learns the rabbit was taken and attacks you.'

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, the Shrek Academy crowd, including Zhao Wují, were moved to tears; this really is a great person.

Not only did he help them resolve the transformed soul beast, but also protect their academy! Such a good person is hard to find even with a lantern. Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help comparing Gu Xuan and Dai Mubai again; if Dai Mubai had such awareness, perhaps she wouldn't need to worry for over two years? Gu Xuan said this naturally also to boost his influence; fortunately, in the future there may be a chance to take Oscar away.

After a pause, Gu Xuan continued: 'However, I suggest you better change your position; if this rabbit has already exposed your academy's location, I cannot guarantee I can fully protect you.'

'Although it's the human world, if the Titan Giant Ape truly wants to come, we would also find it hard to protect everyone.'

Hearing this, while feeling moved, Zhao Wují also began to ponder; then he realized Gu Xuan's words were really reasonable, and he already planned with Flandre where they should move.

Gu Xuan then comforted everyone, after asking about Shrek Academy's location, subsequently under their envious and admiring gazes he followed Gu Rong into a three-meter-diameter dark space gate.

Gu Rong lifted Xiao Wu, taking Gu Xuan and Li Li away, leaving only a few from Shrek Academy and Meng Shu etc.

Meng Shu at this moment, although somewhat regretting missing out on a share, but with Gu Xuan's words, perhaps in the future there is still a chance to connect with the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, without restrictions, which counts as not losing out.

Only hearing Meng Shu say: 'Quickly hunt a third soul ring for Tang San, then leave here, lest the Titan Giant Ape returns.'
