Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: He Really Could Be a Useless Fool

Guan Hong roared, "I ain’t dead yet, and you’re just waiting to take over! You little rascal, I’m gonna beat you to death today!"

Guan Hong chased after Guan Shining again.

Guan Shining coughed up blood. What the heck is this! Wasn’t he just speaking the truth?

In the end, Guan Shining didn’t gather any information. To avoid his dad chasing him like a madman all day, which would let the whole town know he’s been beaten again, Guan Shining found an opportunity to sneak away.

Guan Hong only saw Guan Shining sneak away, took a breath, then turned back to his room, sitting alone in silence for a long time.

If he could, he wouldn’t wish for him to be so strong either.

Even if he really is a fool, it would be fine, honestly.

He put all his effort into raising him into a playboy, yet he still couldn’t stop his steadily advancing cultivation.

In this world, there are always things you don’t want to happen, but you can’t stop them no matter what.

Guan Shining wandered the streets alone for half an afternoon, finally returning to the house where Han Jing and the others stayed. But instead of looking for them, he squatted alone in the front garden, pulled a few foxtail grasses, and sat by the little pond, chewing on grass, as he tossed small pebbles into the pond.

In the silent afternoon, the plunk of pebbles hitting the water was particularly dull and abrupt.

Han Jing didn’t know when he walked up behind Guan Shining and sat beside him, casually picked up two small pebbles, tossed them into the water, and asked, "What’s up?"

It was rare for this playboy bully to be so downcast, Han Jing teased, "Ran into anything upsetting? Tell me so I can have a laugh!"

Guan Shining...

"Sis," Guan Shining called.

Han Jing turned to look at him, "Hmm?"

Guan Shining held his chin, stared at Han Jing for a moment, and asked, "Why do you think my dad doesn’t want me to attend the Thirty-two Islands of the Human Domain ranking tournament?"

Han Jing paused slightly, "Didn’t you say there’s still three years? You want to participate? Is this ranking tournament a martial arts contest?"

Guan Shining then told Han Jing about the ranking tournament. Of course, he actually heard it from others: "Each island has spiritual ore, and every island has to pay ore tax to the top every three years. It’s a regulation, and if we violate it, we’d be punished from above. The higher the rank of the island, the less ore tax they’d pay, which makes it relatively easier. Although I don’t manage things, considering I’m my dad’s only son, I also want to share some of the burden. After all, with my strength, I should be able to rank at the top in the martial arts contest, right? There’s no one on Guan Mountain Island who can beat me now! But every time I bring it up with my dad, he freaks out, changes the topic, and wants to break my legs, chasing me around,..."

Guan Shining gloomily said, "Why do you think this is? Doesn’t he feel the pressure is immense now? I’m kindly helping him share the load, and he wants to beat me! It’s so unreasonable!"

Guan Shining was genuinely downcast. Growing up, it was rare for him to be so understanding. Shouldn’t his dad be thrilled and proud and give him some praise? Why is it completely opposite to what he imagined?

Could it be that, in his eyes, he’s just a troublemaking, useless playboy?
