In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

"Stop crying, you won't be pretty if you keep crying."

"Who...who is crying?"

Lu Wushuang stubbornly retorted.

But that sadness was miraculously soothed.

The touch of his fingertips sent a shiver down her spine.

She remembered that he had just complimented her on her looks.

Her complexion was no longer pale, but instead became rosy.

When Gu Hanyuan lowered his hand, he felt a slight reluctance.

"And Miss Cheng, if there's anything you need me to do, just let me know. You're also a victim of Mo Chou."

Cheng Ying was surprised that Gu Hanyuan still remembered her.

Although she also hated Li Mochou.

But she, with her gentle and mild-mannered nature, did not take hatred so seriously.

Besides, Gu Hanyuan had just saved her.

Seeing this, she thanked him softly:

"Young Master Gu, thank you for saving us just now."

Cheng Ying did not mention Li Mochou, taking care of Lu Wushuang's feelings.

Gu Hanyuan asked curiously:

"So, how did you end up here?"

"Oops."

Lu Wushuang exclaimed in surprise.

I was too shocked by what happened to Li Mochou.

So I didn't react for a moment.

Only after hearing Gu Hanyuan's question did he remember the important matter.

Cheng Ying explained to Gu Hanyuan:

"Previously, a Tibetan monk, for some reason, spread rumors that Yanziwu and Mantuo Villa possessed a large number of divine martial arts manuals. This attracted many martial arts practitioners to come and plunder them. Guiyun Villa is also located on Taihu Lake, and for some reason, it was targeted. We broke out to seek help."

Gu Hanyuan understood immediately upon hearing this.

Most likely, it was because Kumārajīva wanted to go to the Huanshi Pavilion to see the martial arts manuals but was refused.

I also heard that there are a lot of martial arts manuals in Langhuan Paradise.

Openly and honestly confronting them would damage their reputation.

Therefore, they planned to use the hands of martial arts practitioners who coveted martial arts manuals.

As for Guiyun Manor, it's possible that they weren't just implicated.

Gu Hanyuan asked:

Who was the person who led the attack on you just now?

"Peng Lianhu, the 'Thousand-Handed Butcher'".

Gu Hanyuan knew what was going on as soon as Cheng Ying mentioned Peng Lianhu.

Peng Lianhu was always under the command of Wanyan Honglie, the Prince of Zhao of the Jin Dynasty.

The Jin dynasty has not yet been destroyed in this world.

Wanyan Honglie thus survived.

The Jin dynasty had always harbored the intention to invade the Song dynasty from the south.

Taihu Lake has a vast area and is well-connected by roads.

It is easy to hide an elite force.

We have the opportunity to either attack Xiangyang from both sides or launch a surprise attack on Lin'an.

Guiyun Manor is not particularly strong.

However, it recruited many bandits from Taihu Lake.

If the Jin Kingdom could control Guiyun Manor, it would be easier to hide.

Furthermore, by taking advantage of the fact that martial arts figures were attacking Yanziwu and Mantuo Villa, they could pretend that they were implicated when they attacked Guiyun Villa.

Reduce others' wariness.

Gu Hanyuan also set his sights on Guiyun Manor.

"I see. I have important business to attend to at Swallow's Nest to verify this, and I'll also be bringing Miss Mantuo Manor back with me."

"The situation in Taihu Lake is chaotic right now. Miss Cheng, could you please go to the carriages at the back and look after Miss Wang and the others? I'm taking Wushuang to rescue Guiyun Manor."

After seeing Cheng Ying agree, Gu Hanyuan said to Lu Wushuang:

"Wushuang, please show me the way."

As he spoke, he pulled Lu Wushuang into his arms amidst her startled scream.

"Time is of the essence, I apologize for the inconvenience."

Gu Hanyuan took a single step that covered several feet.

Even with someone by her side, she still maintained an ethereal and otherworldly demeanor.

Cheng Ying, who saw everything clearly from behind, exclaimed in amazement:

"With such superb lightness skills, it's no wonder he's famous throughout the martial arts world. It's just a pity that I didn't get to see his legendary, unpredictable swordsmanship."

Cheng Ying's expression was somewhat puzzling.

For the past month or so, Gu Hanyuan's name has been heard everywhere he goes.

Even someone as serene and indifferent as her couldn't help but feel curious and admiring towards Gu Hanyuan.

Upon meeting him in person, they were amazed by Gu Hanyuan's even more handsome appearance and superb martial arts skills than the rumors had suggested.

That unique temperament, which set him apart from other people in the martial arts world, left a deep impression on her.

He thought to himself: No wonder he was able to resolve Li Mochou's hatred and fall in love with her.

Take Lu Wushuang for example.

Cheng Ying and she are cousins and have known each other since childhood.

Don't be fooled by Lu Wushuang's apparent hatred for Li Mochou...

However, she showed no resistance to Gu Hanyuan's advances.

If any other man had encountered this, he would have already chopped them down.

However, Gu Hanyuan calmed her down just now.

Cheng Ying didn't believe that Lu Wushuang didn't have a good impression of Gu Hanyuan.

Especially when they saw the three beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, stepping out of the carriage.

I have a new understanding of Gu Hanyuan's luck with women.

Lu Wushuang was still shaken at first.
