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

Wang Yuanba, assuming the air of a host, asked:

"Who is this young hero? Why doesn't Sect Leader Yue introduce him?"

"This is Gu Hanyuan, the 'Heroic Sword', young hero Gu. He's here to visit Shan'er, and we can travel together."

Yue Buqun had always intended to publicize the relationship between Gu Hanyuan and Yue Lingshan.

This was done to intimidate Zuo Lengchan.

The journey became peaceful and uneventful after meeting Gu Hanyuan.

The Songshan Sect did not make any further moves.

At least until I obtained the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual".

Even Yue Buqun had no choice but to rely on Gu Hanyuan.

Wang Yuanba was somewhat surprised after hearing Yue Buqun's words.

He had also heard of Gu Hanyuan's reputation.

I never expected him to be so young.

Some even harbored a vague suspicion that the stories about Gu Hanyuan were fabricated.

This kind of thing is actually quite common.

Disciples from prestigious sects went out to gain experience.

Just kill a few petty thieves.

Destroy a few mountain strongholds.

It was then touted as something miraculous.

Each of them became a once-in-a-century young hero.

However, in reality, it is all talk and no action.

It's not surprising that Wang Yuanba would have such thoughts.

Gu Hanyuan became famous in the martial arts world of Song.

The various events were all too shocking.

Those who haven't seen it with their own eyes will naturally find it unbelievable.

Moreover, the Wang family's influence doesn't even extend beyond Luoyang.

Such suspicions are inevitable when one has limited knowledge.

Wang Yuanba's sons, Wang Bolun and Wang Zhongqiang, even wore expressions that seemed to say, "In times without heroes, even a scoundrel can become famous."

Wang Yuanba laughed heartily and cupped his hands in greeting:

"So it's Young Master Gu, the 'Heroic Sword'. My apologies for not recognizing you."

Gu Hanyuan looked down on the Wang family.

Keep it to boost your reputation with the Luo Wang organization later.

Therefore, he simply gave a few perfunctory words as an answer.

Wang Yuanba was very dissatisfied with Gu Hanyuan's arrogance.

He asked, feigning curiosity:

"I have heard that Young Master Gu's swordsmanship is divine. I wonder if I may witness it?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanyuan's expression turned cold and stern:

"When Gu draws his sword, it always draws blood. I wonder who Old Master Wang would like to test his sword on me?"

He could easily tell that Wang Yuanba wanted to take this opportunity to test whether Gu Hanyuan had obtained the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual".

Only someone as ignorant as Wang Yuanba could ask such a stupid question.

Gu Hanyuan is much stronger than Lin Yuantu was back then.

Yue Buqun and Lin Pingzhi never had any doubts.

Wang Yuanba's face was grim.

Unexpectedly, Gu Hanyuan said he wanted to see blood.

They completely disregarded him.

Lin Pingzhi noticed the tense atmosphere in the room.

Before the Wang brothers, Bolun and Zhongqiang, could speak, Daogu said:

"Young Master Gu, your grandfather was just joking. Why take it seriously?"

Gu Hanyuan couldn't be bothered with such insignificant people.

"Since Mr. Wang does not welcome me, I will not disturb you further. Farewell."

Gu Hanyuan didn't give Wang Yuanba any face and exposed his sinister intentions.

He greeted Yue Lingshan and then got up to leave.

Chapter 157: If foreign lands are to be destroyed, the Central Plains nations will also be conquered.

Gu Hanyuan's departure immediately created an awkward atmosphere.

Seeing this, the Wang brothers, Bolun and Zhongqiang, could not contain themselves and loudly rebuked Gu Hanyuan for his rudeness.

Yue Buqun's expression was equally unpleasant.

It's not that I think Gu Hanyuan did anything wrong.

Gu Hanyuan is not a disciple of the Huashan Sect.

It's none of his business.

However, Wang Yuanba's probing intent was too strong.

As a result, the Huashan Sect also lost face.

Even after returning, he told Ning Zhongze, "Luoyang is not a place to stay for long."

Lin Pingzhi was already quite regretful about bringing Gu Hanyuan to their door.

He intended to repay a debt of gratitude, but instead, a rift developed between them.

Moreover, Wang Yuanba's probing was not particularly clever.

Even Lin Pingzhi could see through it.

I couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Yue Lingshan wanted to chase after them.

However, Ning Zhongze stopped her.

Being sensible, she still had to maintain a semblance of harmony.

Linghu Chong was in a great mood and drank several cups in a row.

He felt sad and upset whenever he thought about Gu Hanyuan and Yue Lingshan sharing a room at the Medicine King Temple.

Being able to avoid seeing Gu Hanyuan was something he desperately wanted.

Gu Hanyuan's purpose in leaving was to steal Linghu Chong's next opportunity and marriage—Ren Yingying.

He was curious and took a different path.

How can Linghu Chong, who is already half-crippled, possibly make a comeback?

Gu Hanyuan arrived at Green Bamboo Lane in the east of Luoyang City.

This place is cool, tranquil, and naturally elegant. 680

It's a good place to live in seclusion.

Green Bamboo Elder was taken aback when he saw Gu Hanyuan.

He knew that Ren Yingying had been searching for Gu Hanyuan's whereabouts.

Therefore, they also knew very well what Gu Hanyuan looked like.

He wondered why Gu Hanyuan would come here.

But outwardly, he calmly asked:

"What brings you here, young master?"

Gu Hanyuan cupped his hands in a salute and said:

"Old man, I have acquired a musical score for an ensemble piece and have been looking for someone to play it with. Unfortunately, the score is too difficult, and I have been searching far and wide without finding a suitable partner. I happened to hear that there is an old man named Bamboo in this Green Bamboo Lane who is an expert in music. So I brought the score with me to give it a try."

He then handed the sheet music for "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" to Old Man Green Bamboo.

Green Bamboo Elder opened it with some surprise.

The score for "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is indeed extremely difficult to compose.
