The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

boom! boom! boom!

Kang Yunchun's body slammed into the wall of the martial arts hall like a cannonball.

And he smashed through several walls in succession until there were no more walls to break through, and only stopped when he reached the outside of the martial arts hall.

Gu Ran withdrew his fist and said to the disciples of the Pure Martial Arts Hall who were watching from the side:

"Aren't you going to go out and retrieve your guild master? Don't worry, he's not dead yet. I'm controlling my strength."

The telekinetic drill not only served as a direct attack tool, but also probed Kang Yunchun's physical condition.

Therefore, Gu Ran was able to control his strength to a certain extent, so as not to use too much force and kill Kang Yunchun.

What he needs now is an obedient head of one of the eight major martial arts dojos.

Of course, if Kang Yunchun is not pragmatic enough, then he wouldn't mind killing him directly.

Anyway, Kang Yunchun isn't a good person either.

More accurately, apart from the soon-to-be-removed Niyuan Martial Arts School, the other seven of the eight martial arts schools are no pushovers.

Over the centuries, they have used their privileges to amass considerable wealth for themselves.

Xue Yingsong wasn't unaware of it; rather, this kind of profit-seeking had been tacitly accepted in the past.

As for why the Niyuan Martial Arts Academy is doing so poorly.

Gu Ran actually had a guess in her mind.

Cheng Caimeng... their relationship might not be as simple as it seems.

Because the previous Ni Yuan Sect of Ni Yuan Martial Arts Academy was too similar to the examples he had seen before.

The founder of the Reverse Origin Sect was likely also a destined person.

So, to some extent, the Reverse Origin Martial Arts Academy was connected to him.

And then the Reverse Origin Martial Arts Academy is doing so poorly...

This makes things complicated.

Gu Ran's choice of Zhichun Martial Arts Hall, one of the eight major martial arts halls, as the primary target for making an example of someone was probably partly due to the presence of Niyuan Martial Arts Hall and Cheng Caimeng.

Zhichun Martial Arts Hall can be said to be the martial arts hall that most disregards Niyuan Martial Arts Hall among the eight major martial arts halls.

Because the Pure Martial Arts Academy places greater emphasis on strength, they believe that martial arts is a man's domain and that women have no understanding of martial arts.

Now, only a pair of weak sisters remain at the Niyuan Martial Arts Hall.

If they could "swallow" the Reverse Yuan Martial Arts Hall, but maintain the independence of both on the surface, it would be equivalent to having two of the eight major martial arts halls.

Initially, the Pure Martial Arts Academy planned to take a peaceful approach by annexing the Reverse Yuan Martial Arts Academy, allowing its elite disciples to pursue Cheng Cai Meng, or even the younger Cheng You Meng.

However, the elite disciples sent there all returned empty-handed, saying that Cheng Caimeng was a poisonous butterfly.

Not only could no one win her favor, but she also protected her younger sister very well; no one could make a move on her or her sister.

If the soft approach doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to the hard one.

As a result, the Pure Martial Arts Academy caused a lot of trouble for the Reverse Origin Martial Arts Academy, both openly and secretly, making life difficult for the Cheng Caimeng and Cheng Youmeng sisters.

Of course, he chose the Pure Martial Arts Academy as his first target to make an example of them, simply because it was on his way.

"That's right, it's just because it's close by, not for any other reason."

Gu Ran said to himself.

245. Eliminate the Star Stone Aliens! A New Crisis! The Target is Lanxin University! 4k

Well, Gu Ran actually knew to some extent that it was still related to Cheng Caimeng.

The reason he was so resistant to Cheng Caimeng at first was because the two of them were not familiar with each other at all, and he did not know what Cheng Caimeng's purpose was in approaching him.

Being cautious by nature, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

However, after spending so much time together, he had accepted Cheng Caimeng from the bottom of his heart—not in the way of lovers, but in a relatively complex way, a feeling that Gu Ran couldn't explain in a short time.

But at least I'm no longer suspicious of her.

On the surface, he still kept his distance from Cheng Caimeng, partly because he really didn't want to get involved in any more relationships or get engaged to Xue Xiling, and partly because of his experience in the ruins beneath "Dragon Gate City".

If Cheng Caimeng gets too involved with him, perhaps... she will also encounter misfortune.

She's a good girl, and she has a younger sister to take care of. If something happens to her, no, she shouldn't have anything happen to her.

Whether those seemingly prophetic statements are true or false, it's better to believe them than not.

If he can be certain one day that he can solve this problem, then perhaps he will have a different perspective.

As for Xue Xiling, he originally held the same attitude.

However, Xue Xiling's "abnormality" left him helpless, and Xue Yingsong's words were so certain...

He was also taking a "nothing to lose" approach.

Things can't get any worse than they are now, can they?

Gu Ran's complex emotions manifested in this way.

When he needed to find someone to make an example of, he subconsciously found the biggest enemy of the Reverse Yuan Martial Arts Academy on the surface—the Pure Martial Arts Academy.

Of course, the real enemy of Niyuan Martial Arts Academy lies within itself—a talent gap.

However, Gu Ran would find it difficult to help Cheng Caimeng in this regard.

......

Outside the light screen.

A hint of suspicion flashed in Cheng Youmeng's eyes.

The Pure Martial Arts Academy was arguably the martial arts academy she hated the most. Not only had it been targeting her and her sister, but it was also the Pure Martial Arts Academy that spread the rumor that the Reverse Origin Martial Arts Academy possessed techniques that surpassed the Golden Core realm of martial arts.

This rumor caused her and her sister a lot of trouble.

Regarding her sister's death, she had once suspected those martial artists who, during the great turmoil, believed the rumors and wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

"Could it be that Gu Ran is standing up for me and my sister?"

Cheng Youmeng murmured to herself.

Given Gu Ran's status and position, he could easily investigate the grudges between the Ni Yuan Martial Arts Academy and other martial arts academies.

Although she felt this was the most likely answer, the hatred and disgust she felt for Gu Ran made her shake her head inwardly.

"How could that be? Are you stupid? If he really cared about my sister, why would he kill her later? What if he was putting on an act for her, but she didn't know?"

"Wait a minute, does my sister really not know?"

Cheng Youmeng suddenly remembered that her older sister often appeared out of nowhere, at unexpected times and in unexpected places.

She asked her older sister, who replied that it was a test of ability and that children shouldn't ask too many questions.

Cheng Youmeng had always only a vague understanding of her older sister's abilities.

It was only after seeing Gu Ran's memories that she gained a deeper understanding of her sister's abilities.

In other words, she actually knew less about her sister than Gu Ran did.

This left Cheng Youmeng with a strange, bitter feeling.

She didn't even know who to be sarcastic about.

Am I jealous of my older sister, or of Gu Ran?

She seemed like an extra member.

If Gu Ran really became her brother-in-law, that would be great, so she could be closer to him.

If only Gu Ran hadn't killed her sister, then she wouldn't actually be unable to ignore the evil deeds Gu Ran committed as the chief administrator.

In some ways, Cheng Youmeng is just like Yudora; they both value their closest relatives even more.

Yudora didn't care about the evil deeds Gu Ran had committed as the chief administrator; she was only troubled by the conflict between her mother and Gu Ran.

But if she were to consider who is more important to her, she might still lean more towards Gu Ran.

Just like when she was deceived by her grandmother and entered the ruins alone for Gu Ran, even when the ruins had problems, she still held onto her love for Gu Ran in her heart and did her best to complete the trial.

In Cheng Youmeng's heart, the most important person is naturally her older sister.

However, Gu Ran... has always played a special role.

She had never told anyone about this special quality; she kept it buried deep inside her heart.

It was precisely because of this uniqueness that she couldn't help but overthink things when she saw Gu Ran choose Zhichun Martial Arts Academy as the first target to make an example of him.

No one else noticed anything unusual about Cheng Youmeng, and they didn't even realize the "deeper meaning" behind Gu Ran's first choice of Zhichun Martial Arts Hall.

......

In the light screen.

Upon hearing Gu Ran's words, the disciples of the Pure Martial Arts Academy seemed to awaken from a dream, and fear flashed in their eyes.

They didn't even dare to look Gu Ran in the eye, and hurriedly went out to find their owner.
