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

Gongye Qian rushed in to report that a large number of martial arts figures had come to question him.

Gu Hanyuan went out with Murong Fu to deal with the martial arts practitioners who were taking advantage of the chaos.

Seeing Murong Fu sigh helplessly, Gu Hanyuan suggested:

"These opportunistic martial artists are indeed troublesome. Brother Murong, why don't you leave Yanziwu for a while? Return in a year or two when things have calmed down."

Murong Fu agreed:

“Brother Gu is right. In fact, I had this idea yesterday. However, if I leave, the four retainers I leave behind will inevitably become the target of others’ anger.”

Gu Hanyuan feigned hesitation.

Murong Fu naturally noticed this.

He asked:

"Brother Gu, do you have any ideas?"

Gu Hanyuan, with an air of "Since you asked, I have no choice but to answer," said:

"How about I temporarily look after Swallow's Nest for Brother Murong? With Brother Murong away, and with my guarantee, no one will dare to cause trouble at Swallow's Nest."

Murong Fu asked with some surprise:

He thought this was a troublesome matter.

"Brother Gu, are you really willing to help me with this?"

Gu Hanyuan looked guilty and said:

"It's nothing. We hit it off immediately. Ultimately, the current situation is all my fault. Helping Brother Murong keep an eye on Yanziwu is a small way of expressing my apology."

It's impossible for Murong Fu to say he had absolutely no lingering resentment.

However, after yesterday's act of passing on the skill...

In his view, it was no longer a matter of temporarily looking after Yanziwu.

It would be worth it to give Yanziwu to Gu Hanyuan.

This also shows his lack of a broader perspective.

His eyes were only focused on martial arts.

Murong Fu instead comforted Gu Hanyuan.

"Brother Gu was forced by circumstances, so I can't blame you."

Then, in a serious tone, he asked:

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Brother Gu."

Then Murong Fu ordered his men to pack up their belongings.

They took the books from Huanshi Pavilion and the Murong family's property with their four generals.

After bidding farewell to Gu Hanyuan, he left Yanziwu.

The four great generals, of course, opposed this.

However, Murong Fu believed that Yanziwu was indeed a big problem.

He obtained the "Cloud-Dispelling Palm" from Gu Hanyuan.

He couldn't wait to find a quiet place to cultivate properly.

If one stays in Yanziwu and is disturbed by these martial arts practitioners who come to visit every day, how can one practice martial arts?

Moreover, Murong Fu believed that given Gu Hanyuan's reputation, he wouldn't do something like seizing someone else's property.

Moreover, if Gu Hanyuan really accepts Yanziwu, it would actually be a good thing for him.

This would also allow them to win over Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan watched Murong Fu's departing figure.

He smiled knowingly.

So naive as to think he can restore his kingdom?

Going back home to farm would suit you better.

In two years, who here will still recognize you, Murong Fu?

As long as we regain control of Guiyun Manor and Mantuo Manor.

The entire Taihu Lake will then be within our grasp.

Murong Bo must be resentful about this.

Murong Bo is now practically a pariah.

They could only hide in the Southern Shaolin Temple's Sutra Pavilion to conceal their identities.

I dared not wander around.

Yanziwu will serve as Gu Hanyuan's training base for the "Evil-Repelling Guard".

When the "Evil-Repelling Guard" reached a certain scale.

If Murong Bo dares to trespass, it's no different from courting death.

Then Gu Hanyuan began searching inside Yanziwu.

The main goal is to find hidden doors and secret passages.

Murong Bo was overly cautious.

There were many things that he hadn't told Murong Fu.

Since he wants to restore his country.

It's absolutely impossible that it was just the valuables that Murong Fu took away.

As expected, Gu Hanyuan had his own plan.

They quickly found the secret passage in Canhe Village.

After passing through the secret passage, there was indeed a spacious secret room.

It was filled with a large amount of money and weapons.

It was all accumulated by the Murong family over generations.

It's just that Gu Hanyuan benefited from it.

If Murong Fu knew this, he would be kicking himself.

In terms of harming one's son.

Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan truly stood out from the crowd.

Gu Hanyuan returned to Yanziwu with a joyful feeling of having gained a lot.

I played games with Azhu and Abi for a while.

Until night fell.

Gu Hanyuan quietly left Yanziwu.

Before long, we arrived at Mantuo Villa.

The camellias covering the ground were a beautiful sight under the moonlight.

Unfortunately, Gu Hanyuan didn't come to enjoy the scenery tonight.

He stealthily made his way to Li Qingluo's room.

They heard Li Qingluo's solemn and dignified voice coming from inside.

"Yu Yan, I heard from the servants that Murong Fu has moved out of Yanziwu. Gu Hanyuan is currently staying there temporarily."

My cousin moved away? I'm going to go after him!

Wang Yuyan was terrified.

However, Li Qingluo sternly stopped her:

"Don't go!"

"But...body..."

Wang Yuyan was somewhat unwilling.

Li Qingluo simply didn't have the patience to negotiate with Wang Yuyan.

He interrupted directly:

"There are no 'buts'. Gu Hanyuan happens to be at Yanziwu. If you have time, call him over and let me assess his qualities. If he's suitable, I'll betroth you to him."
