189: Chapter 188 Give Me Another Chance

"Brother Gu is a straightforward person." Chu Baiqi took half a step forward and lowered his voice.

"As far as I know, the Mushroom Person race you cultivate follows the path of immortal cultivation. This path is extremely expensive, requiring a massive amount of divine plants to enlighten the Mushroom Person. Moreover, they have a characteristic: when promoting to transcendent, there is a very high probability that it is a collective promotion."

A vague sense of unease welled up in Gu Han's heart, but he didn't interrupt.

"A month ago, when Brother Gu participated in the league, what you displayed were Rank 2 believers and ordinary believers. Those were mutated species of the Mushroom Person, which shows that your skill mutation probability is not small. But as far as I know, the race you used a few months ago was the Zerg, and also the Ant-man Race. Few people know about this."

Chu Baiqi paused and stared closely at Gu Han's face. "What a coincidence, that 'Old Granny' who exploded in popularity in the black market matches also used the Ant-man Race. But I wouldn't dare directly equate Gu Han with Old Granny... After all, if you really are Old Granny, it would prove that two months ago, you already had the strength to possibly defeat a demigod, which is simply a fantasy."

A layer of cold sweat instantly seeped from Gu Han's back. This Chu Baiqi had actually investigated so deeply.

Gu Han's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged. He did not deny that his first thought at this moment was to silence him by killing him.

But this was the academy's administrative building; killing an SSS-Rank Genius was definitely not a rational choice. And since he was able to investigate it, it proved that others could too.

Let's first see what his true purpose is.

"Go on."

"So I boldly guess." Chu Baiqi lowered his voice with a-matter-of-fact look. "The greatest possibility for Old Granny is your Master. And your innate skill must also have a very high probability of producing powerful variants. You are hiding your capabilities."

Gu Han's brows relaxed slightly, and he subconsciously clapped his hands.

"What a wonderful deduction. I almost believed it myself. You rambled on about so much, what on earth do you want to do?"

Chu Baiqi sighed. "I guess Brother Gu's Master must have been schemed against, causing his Realm to drop, and now he can't protect you. That's why you are so vigilant and cautious everywhere. Rest assured, I harbor absolutely no malice toward Brother Gu, otherwise I wouldn't lay these matters out to talk with you."

He smiled self-deprecatingly. "To be honest, I really envy Brother Gu for still being able to develop steadily. Saying all this today is just hoping Brother Gu can tell me a method for rapid enhancement, and I can use the forces behind me to fully invest in your rise."

Gu Han's brows furrowed again, squeezing out a slight smile. "Whether you're dragging me into muddy waters or giving me a hand, I can still tell the difference. Stop beating around the bush and state your true purpose."

Chu Baiqi retracted his smile. "I want to break away from the control of the Qing family. I want you to help me in the future."

"The Qing family?" Gu Han raised an eyebrow. "Why me?"

"My Master once taught me some humble Daoist Magic." Chu Baiqi's expression was extremely serious. "Brother Gu's destiny aligns with mine; you are my predestined benefactor."

Black lines covered Gu Han's head.

Even my birth characters were dug up, yet he spoke with a straight face just now saying he didn't investigate.

And this excuse is way too absurd.

However, since the other party had already analyzed everything in one go, Gu Han going along with the flow to patch up the logic was actually the best response.

"Your deduction is indeed wonderful; it's a real pity you don't write web novels. What I initially used was indeed mutated Black Armored Ants. Later, I accidentally bought Ant-men sold by Old Granny online, and only after Old Granny became popular did I find out about this."

"As for where I got the money to buy those things, you can have the Qing family behind you pull my file from the Jiangcheng police station to see what I did before."

Chu Baiqi froze in place.

"Also, there is no secret to my strength improving so fast." Gu Han spread his hands. "I just used transcendent crystals to forcibly feed my believers to raise their Rank. Those transcendent crystals were won by my teacher in a bet with someone; you've thought too much, Great Detective."

This set of rhetoric was half-true and half-false, and all the nodes had traceable paths.

"I express sympathy for your encounters." Gu Han turned his back to Chu Baiqi. "But prying into other people's background is really repulsive. I will accept this gift as an apology for your random investigation of me."

After speaking, he took a stride and left.

"Brother Gu, it was abrupt of me!" Chu Baiqi hurriedly called out from behind. "I will let you see my sincerity! Give me another chance!"

Gu Han didn't even look back.

After only a few steps, he ran face-to-face at the corner into Tang Wuying, who was strolling over looking for him.

Tang Wuying had a strange expression as he looked past Gu Han's back. "What was that white-haired guy shouting just now? Asking you to see his sincerity? Give what chance? When did your relationship get so good?"

"Don't ask blindly if you don't want to die." Gu Han snapped back irritably.

Tang Wuying froze in place and looked back at Chu Baiqi.

Chu Baiqi was standing at the end of the corridor, nodding slightly toward Tang Wuying as a greeting.

"Inexplicable." Tang Wuying shrank his neck and quickly followed Gu Han.

Walking out of the administrative building, a breeze blew, making Gu Han feel that his back was somewhat chilly.

He actually breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

At least from the current contact, this Chu Baiqi indeed showed no hostility.

Whatever destiny matching or benefactor, it was all nonsense. He probably fancied his own potential and that non-existent "Master".

But Gu Han would never easily trust anyone.

His own father was schemed against by that scheming old bastard Zhao Kun for a full eighteen years, and the bloody lesson was right before his eyes.

The most unquantifiable thing in this world is human nature.

What kind of force the Qing family was, he hadn't even heard of it, but being able to keep an SSS-Rank Genius hooked in their hands, it was definitely a behemoth.

Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to meddle in these muddy waters.

Suddenly, he somewhat envied Chen Zihao's eccentric skill, which was purely self-serving.

It really is true that as long as I am useless to others, others won't covet me.

Returning to the dormitory, Gu Han immediately entered the Divine Kingdom, activated anti-peeping divine buildings, and then placed two Giant Honey Badgers into the Divine Kingdom, arranging a Reproduction package for them.

In the bountiful environment of the Divine Kingdom, he originally thought the female Honey Badger would be less irritable. But he underestimated a mother's fierceness; he didn't expect that conception made it even more ferocious, and even the male Honey Badger was driven away by the female Honey Badger right after finishing.

This made Gu Han quickly fence off an island for it as its territory, leaving only some Six-Winged Chicken for it to hunt. At this time, the combat power of the female Honey Badger was such that many intelligent races with low stats might not even be able to put up a fight against it.
