Chapter 110: A Visit to the Gu Family
Just as Miao Yun and Miao Rengui were engrossed in reminiscing, Gu Feng suddenly spoke up, “Hanhan, come with me.”
Hanhan, already bored, happily replied, “Yay!”
Long Xue’er and Wen Xingguo, unable to bear it any longer, said in unison, “We’re coming too.”
And so, the four of them left.
After watching Gu Feng and the others leave, Miao Rengui turned to Miao Yun and said, “Cousin, who are these people? How could Hanhan take a child barely in his teens as her master? What could such a child possibly teach her? You’re really being naive!”
Miao Yun had anticipated her cousin’s remarks and smiled gently. “Cousin, I know you look down on them, but once you get to know them, you’ll think differently.”
Miao Rengui sneered, “Get to know them? What’s there to understand about a bunch of...”
He was about to call Gu Feng and company bumpkins, but thinking of the Miao family’s current situation, he stopped himself.

Following Gu Feng out of the Miao residence, Zhu Han was excited. “Master, where are we going?”
Gu Feng casually replied, “Someone’s bullying your sister. Do you want to help?”

Long Xue’er rolled her eyes at Gu Feng. “Is teaching your disciple like this really a good idea?”
Gu Feng smiled. “Why fear? Hanhan has two masters — you teach her how to behave, I teach her how to fight. Perfect division of labor, right?”
“Who wants to be with you?” Long Xue’er said, but secretly she was pleased.
Wen Xingguo chuckled, seeing through the dynamic between the two. As an old hand, he immediately detected Long Xue’er’s feelings. But Gu Feng seemed oblivious.
In a narrow alley, Miao Xiaolian was being forcibly held by Liu Cheng, who was groping her indiscriminately.
Miao Xiaolian cried out in despair, “Help! Someone, please help!”
People heard and saw, but no one dared to intervene. Most just turned a blind eye, minding their own business.
As Miao Xiaolian’s despair deepened and she contemplated biting her tongue, murmuring, “Father, I’m sorry. Your daughter can’t stay with you anymore,”
Zhu Han turned the corner and immediately recognized Miao Xiaolian. Seeing her hopeless expression, panic surged within him, and he shouted, “Scoundrel, let go of my cousin!”
Miao Xiaolian, as if seeing a glimmer of hope, looked ahead, only to find a five-year-old brat—Zhu Han. Her hopeful expression immediately faded. Zhu Han was no local little g
