"Ah!"
A sharp female voice echoed in the basin where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located.
Du Gu Yan, who had just landed, screamed and stood on the open ground in a peculiar posture. Her left foot was on the ground, while her right ankle was being held in someone's hand.
"Let go of me!"
Du Gu Yan shouted with some embarrassment and annoyance, one hand still pressed against the edge of her skirt, her face flushed as she looked at the black-haired boy in front of her.
"Okay, but let's be clear, if you attack again, I won't hold back."
As Han Li spoke, he released his left hand. Du Gu Yan stumbled back a couple of steps before regaining her balance.
"What are you doing, Grandpa?"
Du Gu Yan ignored Han Li and turned her head to look at her grandfather, who had a very innocent expression.
Without thinking, she knew it was her grandfather's doing.
Who does that? Dropping her granddaughter directly in front of someone from high up, and then she subconsciously launched an attack, resulting in the situation just now. She only felt extremely embarrassed.
"Hmm? Yan Yan, what's wrong?"
Dugu Bo naturally pretended to be confused. Of course, he knew what his granddaughter meant, but he wouldn't dare admit it.
His original intention was to see the reaction between the two at close range. After all, he had almost bumped into Du Gu Yan's grandmother with just one turn back then, which led to everything that followed.
But what he didn't expect was that when he saw his granddaughter landing in front of Han Li, the boy's expression didn't even change. Instead, Yan Yan kicked out like a tiger.
Fortunately, Han Li didn't use too much force, and it was also fortunate that he had specifically asked his granddaughter to change her clothes before going out, otherwise, he wouldn't know how to deal with it.
Taking advantage of the gap between Dugu Bo and Du Gu Yan's quarrel, Han Li sized up Du Gu Yan at close range.
Du Gu Yan had short, deep purple hair, a beautiful face, and looked very heroic. Coupled with a pair of green eyes, she looked quite peculiar.
Of course, Han Li's deepest impression was definitely her legs, very white and straight. Although he wasn't one of those perverted gentlemen who thought everything was edible, he still thought it was okay to give a thumbs up.
Plus, her waist looked very thin, perfectly setting off her figure. It could only be said that her body proportions were perfect. She couldn't be said to be extremely beautiful, but she had a strange charm.
Alas, as expected, I still misunderstood Brother Xiao Yan in my previous life. I shouldn't have despised (envied) him.
What, he also called himself Xiao Yan a few days ago? Then it's okay, I can only say I can understand.
Over there, under Du Gu Yan's relentless pursuit, Dugu Bo made many promises, finally allowing the Du Gu heiress to let him go.
As a result, as soon as Du Gu Yan turned around, she saw Han Li still sizing her up, and couldn't help but angrily say, "What are you looking at? Still looking? Is it good-looking?"
"It's okay, you're quite good-looking. Besides, you attacked first, I was just defending myself," Han Li met her gaze and calmly replied.
Hearing Han Li's answer, Du Gu Yan was stunned, seemingly not expecting to hear such an answer.
The key was that Han Li really didn't do anything, just blocked the attack.
Du Gu Yan also knew that he didn't actually see anything, after all, she was wearing safety pants.
And she did initiate the attack just now. Now that the other party didn't say anything, and the answer was flawless, what could she do? "Fine, I'll take it as you're complimenting me. Also, you look pretty good too."
Du Gu Yan could only pretend that nothing had happened and replied awkwardly.
"Yeah, I actually feel the same way," Han Li nodded in agreement.
"You're quite interesting. Are you really only seven years old, like Grandpa said?" Du Gu Yan teased, looking at Han Li, who was speaking seriously.
"By the way, I don't think I know your name yet? I'm Du Gu Yan."
After teasing him, Du Gu Yan belatedly realized that she didn't seem to know the other party's name.
"I'm Han Li, and to be precise, I'm seven and a half years old," Han Li corrected.
"Is there a difference?" Du Gu Yan didn't understand his unnecessary persistence on this point.
"Yes, there's a big difference. This is a counting method to commemorate an old friend in my memory."
"Also, I think half a year is enough for me to improve a few more levels."
Han Li spoke as if it were a matter of course. Thinking that his level was higher than hers, Du Gu Yan couldn't refute him for a moment.
"Envious?" Han Li suddenly said.
"Envy."
Du Gu Yan wasn't one to be pretentious. Hearing his words, she was first stunned, then realized he was talking about cultivation speed, and answered straightforwardly.
"Then swear a Martial Soul Oath, well, considering that the Martial Soul will evolve later, let's add the name of your Du Gu family as well." Han Li pondered for a moment, then said to the girl in front of him.
"Huh? What Martial Soul evolution? And why should I swear a Martial Soul Oath? What oath? And why is the Du Gu family involved?"
Du Gu Yan frowned, suppressing her instinctive displeasure, and looked at Han Li in confusion.
Han Li frowned upon hearing her words, first glanced at Dugu Bo, considering that he had already sworn an oath and might not have said some things, and then shifted his gaze to Broad Hill.
Broad Hill coughed lightly in embarrassment: "Little Li, we came in a hurry, and she insisted on coming along at the last minute, so I didn't have time to explain it to her."
So he hadn't told her yet? No wonder Du Gu Yan reacted like this.
In the next five minutes, Han Li explained the agreement he had reached with Dugu Bo to the new member, clarifying the previous events while Du Gu Yan was still dizzy.
"So, do you understand now?"
Han Li looked at Du Gu Yan, who nodded, still a little confused.
"Well, now that you understand, let's swear an oath, for better relations in the future."
Han Li looked businesslike. He wouldn't think Du Gu Yan could be an exception just because she was a girl.
Du Gu Yan didn't find anything wrong with his words. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Dugu Bo, wanting to ask for his opinion.
In fact, she still felt like she was living in a dream, as if the world was different from what she knew before.
Dugu Bo nodded slightly to her, confirming her thoughts.
With a pillar of support, Du Gu Yan no longer hesitated. She believed that her grandfather would not harm her. Immediately, she made a Martial Soul Oath according to Han Li's requirements. Of course, she didn't forget to include the family name.
Only after her oath was completed did Han Li nod in satisfaction. In the situation of Douluo Continent, such a move was enough for the time being.
There's no way around it. My good son hasn't reappeared since he started contacting me. Otherwise, I could have contacted him and created a version of the Douluo Continent's Heavenly Dao Oath together. Now, I can only make do with it.
"Very good, Sister Yan, welcome to the team, we are all family from now on."
Han Li suddenly changed as if he was a different person, showing a warm smile to Du Gu Yan and taking the initiative to extend his right hand.
A handshake was also a common etiquette among nobles and high-ranking officials in Heaven Dou to greet each other and express friendliness.
"Yes, family."
Du Gu Yan reached out and shook his hand lightly, watching him switch expressions skillfully, completely different from before, and was a little at a loss.
"Little girl, you'll get used to it in the future."
Broad Hill smiled and winked at her from the side. So far, he was quite satisfied with Du Gu Yan's performance. She was to his liking, and dispelled his previous thought of deliberately making trouble.
