The No. 1 Bastard in Tiannan City

Watching Lin Yang being taken away by Qin Wufeng in shame, Mo Qingkuang's tense heart finally relaxed. 

"I won!" he muttered to himself with a sigh, losing the strength to persist and falling weakly to the ground. 

*** 

When he woke up again, he found himself in his room at Misty Rain Villa. 

Upon careful sensing, he noticed that the dominating force within him due to Fire God's Fury had been completely healed, with only slight discomfort remaining. 

It seemed that the Tianxuan Empire truly valued him, providing the best quality treatment. 

Several attendants were by his bedside, serving him diligently. Seeing Mo Qingkuang awake, they were overjoyed. 

Now, he was the hero of Tianxuan, the new Martial Champion! He would undoubtedly become a prominent figure in front of the emperor in the future. How could they not admire him? 

Soon, Han Yan'er rushed over, informed promptly by one of the attendants. 

"Are you awake?" Han Yan'er, still wearing her veil, gazed silently at Mo Qingkuang's face, her eyes filled with complex emotions. 

Mo Qingkuang felt a bit uneasy seeing her reaction. 

'Could there be something on my face?' 

He raised his hand to touch his cheek, smooth and tender. There was no trace of the burnt feeling caused by Lin Yang's Flame Ascension Formation. 

"How should I address you now? Kuang Qing? Or Mo Qingkuang?" Han Yan'er asked softly, her tone filled with a myriad of emotions. 

It turned out that the disguise on Mo Qingkuang's face peeled off due to the troubles caused by Lin Yang's Flame Ascension Formation. So, after he fell unconscious and was hurriedly brought back for treatment, his concealed features were revealed. 

This deeply moved Han Yan'er. 

Initially, after being saved by Mo Qingkuang in the Flower King's tomb, she had developed a certain amount of goodwill towards him. When she saw Mo Qingkuang for the first time in the capital, however, he shattered her fantasy. 

She secretly hoped that he would be a handsome, talented young man, fulfilling all her adolescent dreams. 

But the reality was that Kuang Qing turned out to be a dark-skinned boy. 

Humans are visual creatures, and appearance matters a lot. 

There's a saying that in ancient times, that when a girl was rescued by a guy if he was handsome, she would say, "In gratitude for saving my life, I offer myself to you, willing to follow you forever." 

If he wasn't handsome, she would say, "In gratitude for saving my life, I can only hope to repay you in the next life by becoming a cow or a horse." 

When Han Yaner saw the dark-skinned Kuang Qing, she immediately thought of the latter. 

However, he later turned the tide, outsmarting Lin Yang and maintaining the honour of Tianxuan. 

He emerged as a hero, protecting the faith in Han Yan'er's heart like a born hero. 

Suddenly, she felt that even if this man wasn't that good-looking, he still had his charm. 

While she was wrestling with these thoughts, the old skin on Mo Qingkuang's face peeled off, revealing his true appearance. 

It must be said that Mo Qingkuang, despite his mediocre abilities, had quite a remarkable appearance. 

At this moment, Han Yan'er almost secretly approved of him, finding Mo Qingkuang with his current appearance perfectly in line with her inner fantasies of an ideal man. 

However, the next piece of information made the chaotic little deer in her heart suddenly quiet down. 

Mo Qingkuang's identity was exposed by Lin Yang, and his life story was gradually investigated. 

Mo Qingkuang, male, sixteen years old. Born in the Mo family in Tiannan City, with Earth-grade roots, Wind attribute physique, known as the top talent in Tiannan City. 

Due to his prominent family background and outstanding talent, he was spoiled since childhood, arrogant and domineering, bullying men and women, and committing all sorts of evil deeds. 

Recently, he relentlessly pursued Chu Yanran, the young lady of the Chu family in Tiannan City. Because of that, Chu Yanran was annoyed and invited Lin Yang to intervene. 

Mo Qingkuang challenged Lin Yang in the martial arena, used forbidden drugs to forcibly advance his cultivation, and was defeated, on the brink of death... 

A series of information about Mo Qingkuang was presented in front of Han Yan'er, and almost none of it had a positive evaluation! 

It nearly blinded Han Yan'er's eyes. A hero who turned the tide, a handsome young man, a peerless genius who triumphed against the odds! 

How could he be such a scumbag? 

Han Yan'er couldn't believe it, but the black-and-white records of Mo Qingkuang's life left her helpless. 

The initial admiration of a girl's first crush always hoped to project all the beautiful things onto her crush. But this kind of information shattered those beautiful illusions. 

Mo Qingkuang awkwardly touched his nose. "Just call me Mo Qingkuang. I didn't mean to deceive you; I had my reasons." 

"Reasons?" Han Yan'er sneered, throwing the dossier containing Mo Qingkuang's life story at him. 

"Is this your reason for hiding your identity? Is this your reason for dealing with the Yuan Sword Sect? Is this your reason for humiliating Chu Yanran?" Han Yan'er's emotions were stirred. 

She thought he intervened at the Nianhua King's Tomb for her sake, but it turned out he was simply seeking revenge for being abandoned by the Yuan Sword Sect. 

Her heart felt lost! 

Especially for Chu Yanran! It is said that the depth of one's hatred could only be matched by the intensity of one's love. The way Mo Qingkuang humiliated her was unforgettable. 

Thinking about this, there was an inexplicable sense of unease in Han Yaner's heart. 

Han Yan'er sneered, turned around, and walked out. 

Mo Qingkuang looked bewildered. 'What's going on?' 

'Did I offend her? Didn't I help her repel a powerful enemy and save her face? Is this how she treats me?' 

Flipping through the dossier that Han Yan'er threw at him, Mo Qingkuang couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. 

This is too detailed. Who dug up the fact that I sneaked to peek at my cousin's bath when I was eight? 

That was something I did secretly! 

"Ancestor, I didn't provoke her, did I? Why is she getting angry with me?" Mo Qingkuang was speechless. 

Mo Fan's sarcastic voice came, "Stinky brat, listen carefully. The more a girl cares about you, the more she will get angry with you." 

"Anyone would be upset to find out that their ideal sweetheart is a scoundrel who does all sorts of evil deeds. You're not in a good mood, right?" Mo Fan mocked. 

"By the way, I need to remind you, during your coma, you were initially placed in that girl's room, and she personally took care of you. It was only after she obtained your information that you were moved to this bed." 

Hearing this, Mo Qingkuang regretted his past actions for the first time! He also admired Mo Fan's teachings. 

This was the legendary number-one beauty of Tianxuan! The goddess in the hearts of countless young men. 

Thinking about how he used to harass Chu Yanran, who couldn't be won over even with money, Mo Qingkuang felt that he had lived like a dog in the past. 

He even called himself the number one playboy in Tiannan, insulting this prestigious title!
