The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards

Chapter 149 A eloquent tongue
Li Mochou became stubborn and didn't answer. She pursed her lips tightly and glared at Gu Ping'an angrily. Her chest was heaving and her eyes were filled with tears, which silently slid down her cheeks.

Gu Ping'an felt both embarrassed and guilty. He cleared his throat and spoke weakly.

"If I'm not mistaken, this misunderstanding was caused by me."

Mu Nianci and Lu Zhanyuan looked at him together, one with a puzzled look, the other with an innocent look, which made Gu Ping'an even more embarrassed.

"This is Brother Lu. It's a completely unprovoked disaster."

Gu Ping'an organized his words and briefly recounted how he had set a trap for Li Mochou.

If he had not encountered what happened today, whether the scumbag Lu Zhanyuan was dead or alive is another matter, but at least she could have avoided being hurt by love and turning into the "Red Snake Fairy" who kills people without blinking an eye in the future.

But as fate would have it, he happened upon this incident again, and it would become a big trouble to explain it.

"Why are you plotting against Miss Mochou for no reason?"

Mu Nianci gave him a reproachful look, untied the acupuncture points on Li Mochou's body, spread out her cloak, and held her in her arms.

One reason was that I was afraid she would get frostbite, and the other was to prevent her from acting impulsively again.

Li Mochou felt aggrieved at this moment, but her anger was somewhat diluted. She let her hug her and did not attack again.

"At first I just wanted to help her out, but then I came to my senses and it was hard to change my mind."

Gu Ping'an sighed and gave Li Mochou a guilty look.

Li Mochou sniffed and said indignantly, "Even Master couldn't beat you, so how could you possibly be injured by me? And you still say you didn't frame me on purpose?"

"That's not true," Gu Pingan said with a wry smile, "You were determined to 'teach me a lesson' back then. How could you have calmed down if I hadn't let you slap me?"

Although "you" Li Mochou is considered smart, she doesn't understand human nature after all, and she really can't think of any loopholes in her words.

After listening to the general situation, Lu Zhanyuan couldn't help but ask, "Then where did this unforeseen disaster come from?"

“It’s more complicated than that.”

Gu Ping'an rubbed his brows and made up a story.

"Mr. Lu, you don't know that this Ancient Tomb Sect is unusual. All the members are women. They have lived in the ancient tomb for a long time and rarely interact with people."

The three of them didn't know what he wanted to say, so they waited patiently for him to continue explaining.

"This Miss Mochou is quite restless and always likes to sneak out of the ancient tomb to play, which often causes her master to worry about this."

As Gu Ping'an spoke, he turned the focus to the maid Lin.

"That day, Senior Lin was reminiscing with my grandmother at the foot of the mountain, and he mentioned his worries, which I happened to overhear."

"What worries?" Li Mochou was puzzled.

"Of course I'm afraid you'll be cheated by a man."

Gu Ping'an spread his hands and said helplessly.

"You are young and don't understand the relationship between men and women, but you are so beautiful and charming. Not to mention ordinary men, even Quanzhen Taoist priests would be tempted by you. If you don't believe me, ask Master Lu."

"Ahem. Miss Mochou is indeed a celestial being."

Lu Zhanyuan naturally had this idea long ago. If he hadn't been hunted down right after he revealed his identity, he would have probably already started pursuing her.

Even the "Red Snake Fairy" after turning evil could hardly resist others praising her beauty, let alone the young version who was ignorant of the world.

"Senior Lin knows that you are kind-hearted. If you encounter someone like Mr. Lu who is injured and unconscious on the mountain, you will definitely provide careful treatment."

Gu Ping'an secretly glanced at Lu Zhanyuan and continued.

"If a man is interested in you, you'll easily fall in love and be deceived."

The more Lu Zhanyuan listened, the more he felt something was wrong. How could this be said to him?

"Brother Gu, I understand what you said, but why did my name cause Miss Mochou to be so furious?" "This is really a coincidence."

Gu Ping'an looked at him with an apologetic look.

"When I remembered this, I realized that my previous good intentions in rescuing her would only result in her being punished more severely. She would surely resent me, so I came up with an idea."

"What's the idea?"

"Since she hates me, I will tell her that I have many close friends and ask her to take good care of me if we meet in the future."

Gu Ping'an knew that this explanation was a bit forced, but he still went ahead with it.

"As the saying goes, if you hate someone, you will hate his dog too. If you do this, then next time she meets a man, she will first think about whether we have a history, and naturally it will be difficult for her to develop any feelings for him."

After hearing this, Mu Nianci seemed to realize something was wrong and frowned slightly.

"I should have said this to Miss Mochou personally, but she had already returned to the ancient tomb. I had no choice but to ask Miss Long'er to convey this."

"Miss Long'er?"

"Miss Mochou's junior sister, a little girl of three or four years old."

Gu Ping'an threw the blame out again.

"That's the problem. To make it sound more real, I made up a few names, like Lin Zhixuan and Ye Qingyun, but one of them was Lu Zhanyuan."

"Brother Gu, you..."

Lu Zhanyuan was shocked and speechless, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Li Mochou frowned and said, "No, Long'er only mentioned 'Lu Zhanyuan'. I haven't heard of the others."

"Ah?" Gu Ping'an's acting skills burst out, his face full of surprise.

"Will it be"

Mu Nianci, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke and asked softly.

"Could it be that Long'er is too young and accidentally forgot?"

Could this be what they call telepathic connection?
"It must be!" Gu Ping'an nodded heavily, "It's my fault too. I was so focused on what was true and what was false that I forgot Long'er was still a child."

Fortunately, Li Mochou was young and inexperienced, and was led by him all the way, so she didn't even notice the illogicality.

As for Lu Zhanyuan, he was first chased and hacked down the mountain, and then he was pleasantly surprised to meet the "Hero Ping An". Although he felt a little strange, he saved his life after all, so he did not investigate it any further.

What's more, the dignified "Hero of Peace" even bowed to him and apologized sincerely.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Mochou, today's farce is all caused by me. I, Gu, would like to apologize to both of you!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Lu Zhanyuan quickly returned the greeting. "After all, today was a close call, and I was lucky enough to meet Brother Gu. It can be considered a blessing in disguise!"

Although Li Mochou accepted his explanation, she still felt a little aggrieved.

This was the first time in her life that she was punished to kneel for seven days!
"Sister Mochou, I know he caused you great injustice, and I apologize to you on his behalf."

Mu Nianci hugged her affectionately and comforted her softly.

"When I have some free time, I'll teach you some powerful and beautiful kung fu, how about that?"

It is not known whether Li Mochou benefited from it, but Gu Ping'an was deeply moved.

Not only will you not be scolded if you cause trouble, but there will also be people to help you clean up the mess and comfort you.

If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
But on the way down the mountain, Mu Nianci came closer and whispered.

"What happened today was not a coincidence. You knew they would meet, didn't you?"
