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

Chapter 18 Mutual Confession
Run back secretly?
Gu Ping'an thought of many possibilities, but this one was not one of them.

He wanted to ask more, but saw Mu Nianci tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, her face almost as red as her dress.

Seeing her like this, no matter how ignorant Gu Ping'an was about romance, he suddenly understood.

This is myself
Intercepting the young prince?

Seeing him standing there for a long time without saying anything, Mu Nianci found it a little funny and felt a little relaxed.

"On the day of the planned operation, Brother Guo and Miss Huang were not there. Do you know why?"

She suddenly said this, and Gu Ping'an couldn't say that he was a prophet, so he could only shake his head.

Mu Nianci was helpless and asked again, "They are in love with each other, you can see that, right?"

"Of course, they're being completely transparent. I'm sure everyone already knows this, right?"

"That's the problem." Mu Nianci sighed, "Everyone can see it, but Taoist Qiu and Hero Ke pretend not to know. Instead..."

"You mean, the seniors want to break them up?"

"What they did was more than just breaking up the couple. They were clearly just randomly pairing them up!"

Mu Nianci has always been gentle and kind, and always speaks softly, but when she mentioned this, her tone suddenly became a little excited.

Gu Ping'an understood instantly and asked, "Could it be that they are trying to force a marriage between Brother Guo and you?"

"That's right!"

Mu Nianci's face was full of grievance, tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously, and she was about to cry.

"Brother Guo Shi has no interest in me, and I'm not in love with him either. But my adoptive father and the others didn't ask anyone, and insisted on forcing us two together just because of a joke about an arranged marriage."

"So Brother Guo and Miss Huang abandoned them and eloped?"

"That's how it should be!" Mu Nianci seemed to admire their spirit of resistance. "Brother Guo argued and knelt, but it was all in vain. Miss Huang was straightforward. She took him away on horseback and never came back."

This is indeed something Huang Rong can do.

"You have no feelings for Brother Guo, so..." Gu Ping'an spoke subconsciously, but he felt his face inexplicably hot and his heartbeat quickened a lot.

Hearing his question, Mu Nianci seemed to suddenly react. Her face, which had just relaxed, flushed again, and she quickly changed the subject.

"I thought Brother Guo had escaped and the matter was over, but a few days ago on the road, Taoist Qiu brought it up again, and my adoptive father also agreed."

The look of grievance on her face became even stronger, and Gu Ping'an suddenly felt a little distressed.

"I wasn't as clever as Miss Huang, and I didn't know how to refute her. I just cried. I cried so hard that they reluctantly stopped, but they kept saying things like 'parents's orders' and 'matchmaker's words'."

"and after?"

"Later, it was your grandmother."

"Grandmother?!" Gu Ping'an was stunned.

"Grandma asked me quietly"

Mentioning Gu Ping'an's grandmother seemed to give Mu Nianci great encouragement. She suddenly raised her head, which had been lowered since she entered the door, and her bright eyes were slightly shy.

"She asked me if I was interested in you."

She paused, then looked at him with a firmer gaze.

"I said. Yes."

When Gu Ping'an heard this, he felt his heart tremble, and an indescribable complex emotion arose, with surprise mixed with joy, and panic mixed with anticipation.

My heart is beating faster and I feel a little dizzy.

This is probably what the so-called "heart-pounding" feeling is like.

"you you."

He tried clumsily to find the right words to respond, his usual eloquence completely gone, he kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"My grandmother advised me not to worry about them. If I really cared about them, I would come to find you. That's why I..." Her limited courage was almost gone, and she lowered her head quietly again.

"I returned to Zhongdu, but I didn't dare to come to the palace to look for you, so I had to wander around for two days."

Gu Ping'an also roughly guessed what would happen next: "You met Yang Kang again?"

"Yes, and he was accompanied by a thin, pale-faced man with three tumors on his forehead."

Mu Nianci was halfway through her words when a look of doubt appeared on her face.

"I don't know why, but they were so excited when they saw me. That skinny guy was quite skilled in martial arts and captured me in just a dozen moves. Luckily, you saved me."

Recalling today's scene, Gu Ping'an of course knew why Yang Kang was so excited, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

This is really a special fate.

First it was the grandmother, then Yang Kang. If it weren't for the two of them assisting her one after the other, even if Mu Nianci was moved, she might not have the chance to meet him again.

In order to prevent the two of them from wasting their "hard work", Gu Ping'an took a deep breath and took Mu Nianci's hand.

"Actually, I don't really understand love."

He really didn't know how to make girls happy, so he had to rack his brains to think of words to use.

"It's just that every time I see you, I feel happy, but I dare not tell others for fear of being considered as lustful."

Hearing him talk about being "lusted by beauty," Mu Nianci couldn't help but chuckle, "Then tell me, on the day of the martial arts competition to win the bride, why did you attack Wanyan Yang Kang?"

Gu Ping'an naturally didn't dare to tell the truth about this question, so he could only half-lie, "I saw him flirting with you, and I was angry, so I wanted to teach him a lesson."

"If I were ugly, would you still stand up for me?"

Mu Nianci revealed all her thoughts, and she was no longer shy, but showed some of the grace and elegance of a woman of the world.

This question puzzled Gu Pingan. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think so."

"Look, you're still saying you're not attracted by beauty?"

"you"

Gu Ping'an just realized that no matter how he answered this question, it would be wrong, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

"I'm tempted by your beauty, so I'm tempted by your beauty. Now that the young prince has given you to me, I wonder who dares to say anything more!"

He acted like he had given up hope, which made Mu Nianci laugh.

"Okay! I know you're not that kind of person." Her heart throbbed slightly, and she unconsciously held Gu Ping'an's hand. "You are a gentleman, a rare hero in the world, okay?"

This reaction, this tone, this expression.

In terms of Gu Ping'an's level.

Explosive killing.

As if realizing that her behavior was too unrestrained, Mu Nianci blushed and quickly retracted her hands.

Gu Ping'an was about to speak, but his expression suddenly changed. He grabbed a teacup and shot it out of the window with his internal force.

"who!"

He shouted loudly and flew out.

Snapped!
"Ouch!"

There was indeed someone outside the door. Gu Ping'an looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man dressed as a servant lying under the window, covering his forehead and screaming miserably.

Beside him fell the teacup he had just thrown, broken into pieces.

Gu Ping'an felt a little nervous, worried that he had revealed a flaw and aroused the suspicion of Wanyan Honglie and his son.

"Stop howling!" He kicked the servant who was still rolling on the ground. "Tell me, who sent you to eavesdrop in the palace?"
