Douluo's Holy Lord at the Start

Chapter 2: The Ancient Banyan Tree That Can Be Distinguished

"Where am I?"

Gu Xuan finally regained consciousness amidst the chaos of his mind.

"By the way, I am Gu Xuan, a citizen of Blue Star... No, I am Gu Xuan, the grandson of Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

The two memories intertwined in Gu Xuan's mind, but this time, he no longer felt the excruciating pain he had experienced before.

On the contrary, the harmonious blending of water and milk made Gu Xuan comfortably squint his eyes slightly.

"I remember now!"

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Xuan opened his eyes again.

He is Gu Xuan, and he is also Gu Xuan.

After dying outside of Earth, he traveled to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the Douluo Continent.

However, at that time his body could not support the complete soul, causing the soul to fall into a deep sleep, with only a small part of his consciousness controlling his body.

However, although it is only a small part of consciousness, it is still no different from ordinary people. In fact, because it is not a fully conscious being, it tends to get stuck on trivial matters.

Guided by both conscious and subconscious factors, I have enjoyed physical exercise and learning since childhood, and I have a strong aversion to people who disturb me.

It is precisely for this reason that the so-called "other people's child" is created, and the boring, annoying person in Ning Rongrong's eyes.

Now, because the body is so close to death that it forcibly awakens the main consciousness, the re-merging of two long-separated consciousnesses is indeed a little painful.

However, this also greatly stimulated the body's potential.

It allowed him to hold on until the moment of rescue.

"Douluo Continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, how interesting!"

After digesting the two memories, Gu Xuan smiled. For someone who has always lived in the mortal world, it is hard to refuse the opportunity to come into contact with magical power.

Gu Rong's grandson is about the same age as Ning Rongrong, which is truly a golden age.

but……

Although he was grateful to Ning Rongrong for waking him from his slumber, this was not a reason for him to forgive her.

He can't control how she hurts others, but it's obviously unacceptable for her to hurt herself.

He had even decided that if his grandfather was really a sycophant, then he might as well just give up on having a grandfather.

He doesn't need an old guy who's biased towards outsiders.

Judging from past memories, Gu Rong has always been very accommodating to Ning Rongrong since childhood. Even when Gu Xuan clearly stated that Ning Rongrong would disturb his studies and training, he still advised Gu Xuan to spend more time with Ning Rongrong.

If Gu Rong doesn't stand by him after this incident, or even asks him to forgive Ning Rongrong like in a novel, then he might as well disown this grandfather.

As Gu Xuan was thinking this, he suddenly opened his eyes.

The chaotic darkness faded, revealing a familiar ceiling.

"How are you feeling, child?"

Seeing Gu Xuan open his eyes, a beautiful woman smiled and leaned closer to ask him gently.

Gu Xuan glanced at the begonia flower in the beautiful woman's hand and the seven soul rings behind her. A wealth of related knowledge flooded his mind, and he instantly guessed the identity of the newcomer.

"It feels good, but I just can't seem to muster any strength."

Gu Xuan frowned slightly and moved his hands and feet as he answered.

It can move, but it feels light and weak.

"That's alright, it's just that some new growths haven't adapted yet, they'll be fine once they do."

The beautiful woman comforted her gently.

At the same time, a look of pity flashed in his eyes. It was truly heartbreaking for this little guy to have suffered such a calamity at such a young age.

"Xiao Xuan, are you alright?"

A gust of wind blew in, and Gu Xuan's door suddenly opened. At the same time, a tall old man suddenly appeared in front of Gu Xuan.

The old man had a large frame, estimated to be around 2.2 meters tall, but his hair was somewhat sparse, making him look a bit frightening.

However, the old man looked at Gu Xuan with an extremely worried expression. He wanted to reach out but was afraid of hurting Gu Xuan. His appearance was not at all like that of a Title Douluo.

"Grandpa...Grandpa, I'm alright."

The smile on Gu Rong and Gu Xuan's faces instantly faded.

However, seeing Gu Rong's worried expression, he still calmly replied.

"Is Xiao Xuan alright?"

Gu Rong turned to Ye Xinlan and asked.

"Don't worry, Senior Bone. Even if you don't believe me, you still have to believe in my martial spirit. As long as the Nine-Star Begonia is there, as long as it's not completely dead, the Nine-Star Begonia can completely heal it."

His injuries have now fully healed; all he needs to do now is rest for a while to allow his body to readjust.

Ye Xinlan smiled gently, her demeanor elegant and graceful, showing no impropriety even when facing a Title Douluo.

"That's good. Consider this a favor I owe you."

Gu Rong said solemnly.

"Thank you very much, senior. If you want to chat with Xiao Xuan, it's best not to chat for too long. He needs to get plenty of rest right now. I won't bother you any longer. Farewell."

Ye Xinlan bowed to the ancient banyan tree.

Go!

Gu Rong waved Ye Xinlan out of the room before looking at Gu Xuan, who was also looking at him from the bed.

"It seems this injury is quite serious."

Gu Xuan tried to get up and lean against the bed, but he felt a little weak, so Gu Rong quickly stepped forward to help him sit up.

How could it not be serious?

Even the healing soul masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School couldn't help, so in the end they had to ask the Nine Star Begonia Clan for help.

Moreover, Gu Xuan was unconscious for three whole days.

It would be a miracle if it wasn't serious.

After helping Gu Xuan up, Gu Rong sat on the edge of the bed with her head down and didn't say a word.

Seeing Gu Rong's pathetic state, Gu Xuan almost laughed out of anger.

What kind of expression is that?

Is it better to just keep quiet?

Seeing that her grandson had only said one sentence and then stopped talking, Gu Rong quietly looked up and met Gu Xuan's gaze.

"Uh, well, I've already discussed it with Feng Zhi. Rongrong won't bother you with your cultivation anymore, and I won't force you to do anything. You can live however you want, and talk to whoever you want. What do you think?"

Gu Rong answered cautiously.

"Oh, that's it?"

Gu Xuan said expressionlessly.

He almost died. If Ning Rongrong doesn't even punish him, then he might as well quit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Well, we don't need this grandpa.

We've already given him enough face in front of others; whether he can still save face now depends on whether he can earn it back himself.

"Fengzhi has confined Rongrong for three days, saying that she will be released whenever you recover."

I didn't plead for her this time!

Gu Rong hurriedly said, but Gu Xuan's expression didn't even change.

"Furthermore, Feng Zhi promised to prepare a soul bone over 50,000 years old for you in the future as compensation, and I didn't refuse. Is that acceptable to you?"

As Gu Rong watched Gu Xuan's face darken, his own expression grew increasingly guilty.

Although Gu Xuan's complexion was still not good, it was much better than before.

Grandpa Gu Rong was somewhat satisfied with him; at least this time he didn't plead for Ning Rongrong, which was a significant improvement.

In the past, if Ning Fengzhi wanted to punish Ning Rongrong, Gu Rong would probably jump up and slap him.

This time, not pleading for Ning Rongrong is a good start.

However, Gu Xuan was somewhat dismissive of Ning Fengzhi's actions.

It's just a 50,000-year-old soul bone. If Gu Rong really wanted it, wouldn't he have gathered it all for Gu Xuan?

For a level 95 Title Douluo who excels in spatial manipulation, hunting soul beasts is incredibly easy.

And the only punishment for Ning Rongrong was solitary confinement?

Ning Rongrong's room is bigger than other people's manor rooms.

What's the difference between locking her up in solitary confinement and letting her play in her room?

However, Ning Fengzhi is Ning Fengzhi; at least he saw the changes in the ancient banyan tree.

Sure enough, he did do show more favoritism towards Ning Rongrong when things were going well.

But it's pretty good that this old guy will still stand on my side when we're really threatened.

"Yes, Grandpa, I'm hungry!"

Gu Xuan nodded gently and spoke calmly.

Gu Rong's eyes lit up when he heard Gu Xuan's words.

Since Gu Xuan has relented, it proves that there is still room for reconciliation between them.

"Wait here, Grandpa will go and prepare some food for you."

As Gu Rong spoke, he instantly flashed into space and disappeared from the spot.
