Chapter 263

Hearing Gu Han's voice suddenly ring out.

The Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng instantly leapt up, excited.

Its face showed a human-like excitement,

"Little White, you've finally come."

"What do you mean by 'better protect the family'?"

Looking at the Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng's face full of confusion, Gu Han chuckled and said,

"You've just been born, you don't yet understand the rules of this world."

"Survival of the fittest is this world's most basic principle."

"Although we never actively seek trouble with others, it's inevitable that others will come looking for us."

"We must have the ability to protect ourselves in order to guarantee our family's safety."

"They are now desperately training and fighting precisely for this."

Listening to Gu Han's long-winded discourse, the Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng felt its little head couldn't keep up at all.

It even felt as if its head were about to explode!

"Little White, you mean it should be just like when we were in the dense forest, right?"

"Although I did nothing, those people, wanting to possess me, will fight with others."

Gu Han snapped his fingers, laughing,

"Smart, that's how it is."

The Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng happily nodded,

"Since they want to protect those around them, I too will do my best to help them!"

Saying that, the Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng once again brimmed with vitality.

Originally, after the Gu Family disciples discovered they were injured, they were slow to recover, inevitably feeling dispirited.

But at this moment, an emerald-green light beam, invisible to the naked eye, surged forth.

Once the beam entered the injured Gu Family disciple's body, it instantly permeated his entire body.

It swept away his wounds, and his inner strength and Qi Blood filled up in the blink of an eye.

It even made him feel as if he were about to overflow!

"I feel I am now full of power!"

He let out a loud shout and charged onto the stage.

The Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng also began tirelessly healing the Gu Family disciples.

When someone is injured, it sends a beam of light over, letting them instantly recover to full condition on the spot!

"Isn't healing like this too much of a burden for you?"

After all, this is an effect ordinary pills can't match; Gu Han also worried that the Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng, only thinking of helping, would neglect its own body.

The Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng turned its head, looking at Gu Han as if he were an idiot,

"These people's strength is so weak; even if I healed them tens of thousands of times a day, it wouldn't be anything to me."

Only condensing the Heavenly Jade Spirit Fruit, or healing someone of Gu Han's caliber, could make it feel any pressure.

Healing these people, whose highest level is Martial Master,

To the Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng, it's nothing but a puff of breath!

Gu Han curled his lips upon hearing this; it seemed he had still underestimated the Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng's strength.

But after thinking it over, he still advised,

"You can slightly control the healing frequency; if it's too high, they'll think it's something gotten without effort."

"During sparring, they don't cherish their own bodies at all, just repaying injury with injury."

"If they truly encountered an enemy, such a fighting style would be unreasonable."

Hearing Gu Han say that, the Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng couldn't help but furrow its brow.

"How is healing still wrong?"

These humans' thoughts are truly complicated, leaving even the lofty Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng unable to fathom them!

However, the Heavenly Jade Spirit Ginseng now trusts Gu Han immensely.

Since Gu Han said that, it agreed.

In Han Shan Cheng, the Gu Family disciples presented a scene of fervent training.

By comparison, the Gu Family population in Wu Shan Cheng, though much smaller, took them a while to get used to.

However, the remaining surplus of raw stones and other cultivation resources.

Likewise, this excited the Gu Family disciples of Wu Shan Cheng into training.

The Gu Family is now also a great clan spanning the two major cities.

If a clan member's junior goes out and is inferior in strength, the loss is not merely their own face.

It will also lose the Gu Family's face!

Moreover, in this era where martial prowess is supreme, no one will complain that their strength is too strong.

Everyone is eagerly training!

Family Head Gu Xiao Dao, together with the elders left behind to guard Wu Shan Cheng,

Seeing the clan's younger generation thriving, they too felt great comfort.

Just then, a guard suddenly came to report,

"Family Head, the Young Master of Heaven's Blade has returned."

Gu Xiao Dao heard the words, and his eyes lit up instantly.

From the day Gu Han returned home, he, to guarantee the Gu family's safety, guarded against Heavy Sword Peak's revenge.

He then had Gu Tianren go find his teacher, to come as a guest to the Gu family for a while.

If Gu Tianren's teacher were to arrive here a few days early, the He family of Han Shan Cheng would hardly be worth worrying about.

"Quick, come with me to welcome Teacher Zheng!"

Several elders' hearts suddenly tightened.

Given Gu Xiao Dao's strength, the only one worthy of being called his teacher would probably be Gu Tianren's teacher!

But as the admissions office teacher of Running Wolf Academy, how could Teacher Zheng appear here?

Carrying doubts in their hearts, the group hurried to the front of the Gu family residence to welcome him.

Not long after they arrived at the gate, Gu Tianren brought a woman in green robes.

This woman wore a green robe, had a delicate face and graceful brows, and her appearance was beautiful.

Her bright eyes held no hint of allure, yet they seemed to make the world lose its color.

Gu Xiao Dao and the others had almost never before seen Gu Tianren's master in person, and they were all startled.

Unexpectedly, the teacher from Running Wolf Academy is actually so young.

He looks only a few years older than Gu Tianren!

"Dad, this is my master..."

Before Gu Tianren's words finished, Gu Xiao Dao took the lead, hastily bowing to the woman,

"Gu Xiao Dao, Gu Ting Shan... greetings, Teacher Zheng!"

However, the woman's face darkened.

Gu Tianren's face was a bit embarrassed, and he quickly said softly,

"Dad, this is my senior martial sister!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiao Dao and the others all felt their faces flush.

"Wasn't it agreed to invite Teacher Zheng?"

"How did it become that the one who came is his senior martial sister?"

If it were Gu Tianren's teacher, after all a teacher from Running Wolf Academy, his strength would undoubtedly be not insignificant, so their bowing would be acceptable.

But to bow to Gu Tianren's senior martial sister...

That would be lowering their own seniority, wouldn't it?

Gu Xiao Dao and the others, feeling somewhat embarrassed, straightened up while laughing awkwardly, and ushered Gu Tianren's senior martial sister, Ding Zhuoguang, into the residence.

The elders chatting with Ding Zhuoguang were, as it were, sitting on pins and needles.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiao Dao pulled Gu Tianren aside, lowered his voice, and complained,

"Wasn't it said to invite Teacher Zheng? How come it's your senior martial sister who came?"

"To give a bow to one's son's peer—this is truly embarrassing!"

"Fortunately, the other three great clans have already been wiped out; otherwise, today's behavior might become a laughingstock for the three great clans for years to come!"

Gu Tianren said helplessly,

"The teacher said there is an important matter in the academy requiring an immediate return, so he had his senior martial sister come as a guest in his place."

"Moreover, I was just about to introduce you to my senior martial sister, but you already bowed—I couldn't stop you!"
