Douluo's Holy Lord at the Start

Chapter 17: Misunderstanding

"What did you say?"

After the banquet, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin Gu Rong were just about to go back to rest when one of the guards who was watching the treasure vault walked in. After finding that no one was around, he quietly told them what had happened earlier.

Gu Rong's face immediately turned black, then turned red.

"Uncle Gu, don't be angry. The situation is still unclear. It might just be an accident, and maybe Xiao Xuan was just curious."

Ning Fengzhi quickly grabbed Gu Rong.

"Hmph, I knew none of the royals were any good. They've already taught Xiao Xuan all this in such a short time."

Chen Xin also fanned the flames from the side, but still helped to hold Gu Rong back.

This guard was a trusted confidant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned to guard the treasury.

Just now, Gu Xuan took Gu Rong's token to the treasure vault and not only took more than a dozen pieces of whale glue, but also a lot of resources used to accelerate cultivation.

They didn't care about the resources that could accelerate their cultivation; the more proactive Gu Xuan was, the happier they were.

There are many resources on the Douluo Continent that can help Soul Masters cultivate, but there are not many that do not have too many side effects.

Each portion is extremely expensive, and it's basically distributed among the top management.

Although Gu Xuan's actions were somewhat irregular, it didn't matter. After all, if he wasn't qualified to take it, then no one else was qualified either.

But isn't that whale glue a bit excessive?

In Chenxin and Gurong's eyes, Guxuan has always been a good child, and it must have been Xue Qinghe who led him astray.

After all, Gu Xuan had always stayed within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and although Xue Qinghe also appeared gentle and kind, who knew how much scheming and despicable motives he harbored?

Gu Rong was also furious with Xue Qinghe, and now she wished she could beat him up and make him corrupt her grandson.

But it's really hard to break free when your arms are being held.

"Hmph, he's a prince after all. I'm too lazy to bother him. You two, let him go right now. I need to go check on Xiao Xuan. I hope something's really happened to him."

Gu Rong yanked his arm back and then vanished from the spot in a flash.

"Fengzhi, you really need to teach Xue Qinghe a lesson. This is outrageous! How old is Xiao Xuan and you're already teaching him this?"

Chen Xin said with a sense of disappointment and frustration.

"Uncle Jian, I understand. I will definitely teach him a lesson next time."

Ning Fengzhi rubbed his temples, refusing to believe that Xue Qinghe could have done this, but who else could it be but him?

Xue Qinghe was caught in the crossfire.

"Ah owe!"

On the way back to Heaven Dou City from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Xue Qinghe suddenly sneezed, feeling quite bewildered.

"Your Highness, have you caught a cold? Should I hurry?"

The voices of guards could be heard outside the carriage.

"No need, it was just an accident!"

Bang!

In Gu Xuan's room, just as Gu Xuan was about to put some cultivation aids out of his soul tool and put them in his mouth, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Then Gu Rong rushed in like a gust of wind and grabbed Gu Xuan's hand that he had brought to his mouth.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

"Grandpa, what... are you doing?"

Gu Xuan was startled by the sudden appearance of the ancient banyan tree.

Gu Rong didn't reprimand him first, mainly because ever since Gu Xuan fell off the cliff, he had a feeling that if he went too far, this brat was really capable of doing things that made him disown him.

It's very strange that a Soul Master grandson doesn't want his titled Douluo grandfather. It's a joke, but he really does have that feeling.

Therefore, he plans to find out more about Gu Xuan's matter before making a decision.

Moreover, he could see very clearly that what Gu Xuan was holding was not whale glue, but some rare and precious natural materials to aid cultivation.

"Xuan'er, tell Grandpa, did you take something you shouldn't have from the treasure vault?"

Gu Rong asked cautiously.

Gu Xuan subconsciously rolled his eyes. Sure enough, it was those guards. He originally thought that taking the herbs would cover his tracks, but he didn't expect them to still notice that he had taken whale glue.

"I'm just curious where to do the experiment; I won't take it myself."

It's impossible for Gu Xuan to reveal the effects of whale glue in a short period of time, for any reason.

"real?"

Gu Rong was somewhat incredulous.

"Of course, otherwise what do you think I would use it for?"

"I'm only six years old, okay? Besides, whale glue isn't worth much. Even if I get some to start a fire, it won't matter, right?"

Gu Xuan retorted confidently.

Since he's currently preparing to consume rare and precious herbs, he's naturally very confident.

"Yes, Grandpa believes you, but you must remember never to listen to those royal children again. None of them are good people."

After realizing that Gu Xuan was not faking it, Gu Rong finally felt relieved.

"Haha, Grandpa is just worried about you. After all, you're still young, and it's not good for your health to get involved with that stuff too early."

He quickly released his grip on Gu Xuan's hand and chuckled awkwardly.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I know what's important. By the way, Grandpa, if you have time in the future, could you practice some real combat with me? Although my soul skills are powerful, I still need to practice them."

Seeing that Gu Rong had relaxed, Gu Xuan began to try to change the subject, attempting to shift Gu Rong's attention from whale glue to something else.

"Real combat?"

"That's possible, but Grandpa doesn't have that much time. How about I enroll you in a Soul Master Academy?"

Gu Rong usually needs to protect Ning Fengzhi's safety separately with Chen Xin, so he doesn't really have a fixed time to teach Gu Xuan.

"Never mind then, Grandpa, you can teach me if you have the chance, but if you don't, that's fine too. As for going to school, let's not talk about it, it's a waste of my time."

In Gu Xuan's opinion, going to school was a waste of his life. Wouldn't it be better to use that time to practice on his own?

Moreover, going to school means leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which means danger.

So there's no way he'd go, even if it meant death.

"Alright, then forget about today. I'll practice with you tomorrow if you get up early."

Gu Rong pondered for a moment and then gave an affirmative answer.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Gu Xuan persuaded Gu Rong to leave the room.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, Gu Rong's face darkened instantly.

Although his grandson was clever and not affected by matters of love and sex, Xue Qinghe's corrupting influence on Gu Xuan should not be overlooked.

However, thinking of Gu Xuan's diligent and studious nature, Gu Rong couldn't help but smile.

As for the matter of whale glue?

Just like Gu Xuan said, if there's nothing wrong with lighting a fire, why are there so many rules and regulations?

As long as he doesn't eat by himself, he can play however he wants, right?

After watching Gu Rong leave, Gu Xuan looked at the thing in his hand, took two bites, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then, the soul power around his body began to surge, and a continuous stream of soul power slowly flowed out from his abdomen and was absorbed by him.

After circulating the energy through the body using the meditation method, return to the dantian.
