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

"It's about my master, Yu Daiyan. Fifth Aunt, are you really planning to talk about this right here at the door?"

Gu Hanyuan didn't seem to care about Yin Susu's attitude. Instead, he smiled and asked a question in a slightly flippant manner.

Chapter 3: Madam, you don't want anything to happen to Fifth Uncle and Junior Brother Wuji, do you?

After hesitating for a moment, Yin Susu still let Gu Hanyuan into the room, her expression even colder than before, and asked:

What does "Yu Daiyan's matter" refer to?

Gu Hanyuan did not answer Yin Susu's question immediately. Instead, he found a stool by the round table in the room and sat down leisurely, playing with the teacup on the table that still had some tea left, which was obviously the one Yin Susu had drunk from earlier.

Yin Susu's expression grew increasingly hostile, to the point where she seemed to want to chop off the hand that was playing with the teacup she had used, before she finally spoke.

"Sixteen years ago, my master, Yu Daiyan, accidentally obtained the Dragon-Slaying Saber. On the way, he was attacked by the Sky Eagle Sect and later fell into a coma after being poisoned by a needle. The Dragon-Slaying Saber was then taken from him..."

Yin Susu's expression changed when she heard Gu Hanyuan say this.

"Afterwards, he was entrusted by someone to be escorted back to Wudang Mountain by Du Dajin of the Longmen Escort Agency, but he was attacked halfway and his limbs were broken by the Mighty Vajra Finger, leaving him paralyzed..."

Gu Hanyuan glanced at Yin Susu, whose face was growing increasingly dark, and continued:

"Leaving aside the murderer who injured my master Yu Daiyan with the Vajra Finger technique, the one who injured someone with poison needles, entrusted them with escorting, and then wiped out the entire Longmen Escort Agency, is that you, Fifth Aunt?"

Seeing that Yin Susu did not refute him, he added insult to injury.

"After all, the mosquito needle is Fifth Aunt's specialty hidden weapon."

"So, did Yu Daiyan send you to question me?"

Yin Susu finally couldn't help but ask. After all, it was the undeniable truth, and she had already been recognized when she met Yu Daiyan during the day, so there was no point in denying it anymore.

"No, that's not it. I'm here simply to prevent a tragedy and, incidentally, to complete a deal."

"Tragedy? Deal? What do you mean?"

Even with Yin Susu's intelligence, she couldn't grasp the meaning behind Gu Hanyuan's words. As for the so-called junior disciple, that was a joke; she certainly couldn't see any sense of responsibility in Gu Hanyuan regarding being a junior disciple.

"Fifth Aunt should have heard that a large number of martial arts sects are planning to go to Wudang Mountain recently. Ostensibly, they are going to celebrate Grandmaster's birthday, but in reality, they want to interrogate Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt about the whereabouts of Xie Xun and the Dragon-Slaying Saber. Moreover, I heard Fifth Uncle tell Grandmaster that he has already become sworn brothers with Xie Xun."

In fact, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu had already encountered people from the Kunlun Sect on the road who interrogated them about Xie Xun's whereabouts.

Seeing Yin Susu nod in affirmation, Gu Hanyuan continued:

"Then please think about it, Fifth Master Aunt. With Fifth Master Uncle's upright and loyal nature, what would he do if he knew that the culprit who caused his master Yu Daiyan, who was like an elder brother to be crippled for more than ten years, was actually his own wife, and that the major sects were pressuring Wudang Mountain because of his sworn brother, causing trouble for the Wudang Sect?"

After a moment's thought, Yin Susu's expression darkened, tinged with sadness. She had likely already guessed Zhang Cuishan's fate.

Previously, Yin Susu wasn't worried about the various sects coming to her door. Instead, she brazenly followed Zhang Cuishan to Wudang Mountain because she knew Wudang's strength and wasn't afraid of being coerced by force. Leaving aside Zhang Sanfeng, who was rumored to have reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal, Yu Lianzhou, the most skilled among the Seven Heroes of Wudang, and Song Yuanqiao and Zhang Songxi, who were slightly less skilled, were already Grandmasters. Other well-known Grandmasters included Chongxu Daoist of Zhenwu Temple, Yucha Zhenren of Baiyun Temple, Tianxu Daoist of Shangqing Temple, Mazhen Daoist of Yuxu Temple, and the famous Mu Daoren. Of course, Mu Daoren was actually a Grandmaster, but this was unknown to most.

The Wudang Sect possessed even greater strength than depicted in the original novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," so there was naturally nothing to worry about. However, Yin Susu overlooked Zhang Cuishan's temperament; in such a situation, he might act irrationally.

"It seems that Fifth Aunt has understood what I mean. To prevent all this from happening, we must first resolve my master's hatred and obtain his forgiveness. Secondly, we must not give the major sects any reason or opportunity to interrogate us."

"You can do it?"

After hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, a glimmer of hope finally appeared in Yin Susu's eyes, which had been filled with despair.

"of course."

Seeing Gu Hanyuan speak so casually, Yin Susu, after her initial excitement, became wary.

"Why are you helping me?"

Yin Susu understood perfectly what it meant for something to be free to be the most expensive.

"Help you? Fifth Aunt is being a bit presumptuous. This is just a transaction."

Gu Hanyuan gave Yin Susu a strange look, a mocking smile on his face, as if to say, "What good thing are you thinking about?"

However, Yin Susu felt relieved after hearing Gu Hanyuan's mockery. After all, the Sky Eagle Sect was a large and powerful organization, so making money was not a problem for them. However, she didn't realize that she was celebrating too soon.

"How much silver do you want? Name your amount, and I can agree to it immediately as long as it's not too difficult."

"Silver? Fifth Aunt is underestimating me, your junior disciple... But I think with Madam Zhang's keen intelligence, she will surely be able to guess what I'm asking for."

After Gu Hanyuan finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on his lips. He naturally picked up the teapot and refilled the teacup that Yin Susu had used. After swirling it slightly, he took a sip, savoring the tea from the mark Yin Susu had left on the rim of the cup.

"It really smells sweet."

Yin Susu hadn't reacted at first, but when she saw Gu Hanyuan's actions, she felt a rush of blood to her head and instinctively pulled out three mosquito needles. She never expected that the handsome young man in front of her would be so audacious as to have such a plan. She was so angry that she trembled all over and could barely hold the mosquito needles in her hand.

Gu Hanyuan glanced at Yin Susu with disdain, as if he didn't care about the hidden weapon in her hand at all.

"Madam Zhang, it's not good for your health to get angry. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Junior Brother Wuji, right?"

"Do you know Wuji's whereabouts?"

Upon hearing Gu Hanyuan mention Zhang Wuji, Yin Susu disregarded her anger and hurriedly pressed for an answer.

“I don’t know where Wuji is. But I know that if Fifth Uncle dies, Madam Zhang, with her strong personality, will definitely follow him. It would be too pitiful to leave Wuji alone in the world with his fate unknown.”

Gu Hanyuan's words were like a bucket of ice poured over Yin Susu's forehead. But it has to be said that they really hit her sore spot.

Aren't you afraid I'll expose you?

Yin Susu's eyes were deep and unfathomable as she made her last stand.

"Expose me? What good would that do you, Madam Zhang? Would Fifth Uncle be spared from death, or Junior Brother Wuji be safe? As for silencing him, forget about it. As my master Yu Daiyan's disciple, dying at your hands, even a hundred mouths wouldn't be enough to clear my name. Besides, Madam Zhang, do you think I didn't make arrangements before coming to you?"

Gu Hanyuan stood up, walked to Yin Susu, looked down into her bright eyes, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and whispered in her ear:

"Madam, you wouldn't want anything to happen to Fifth Uncle and Junior Brother Wuji, would you?"

Chapter 4: Wishes Fulfilled, Initial Success Achieved

Yin Susu was overwhelmed by Gu Hanyuan's masculine scent, and her ears turned bright red from the breath he exhaled as he spoke. She tried to back away to create some distance, but he grabbed her waist before she could react.

"let me go......"

Yin Susu tried to struggle, but perhaps she convinced herself that she could not exert as much force as Gu Hanyuan, who was in the early stages of the acquired realm.

"Let you go? Madam, don't you care about Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Wuji anymore?"

Gu Hanyuan reached out and grasped Yin Susu's hand that was holding the mosquito needle, then removed it and threw it on the ground with a soft sound.

"How can you guarantee that you can resolve Yu Daiyan's hatred and resolve the trouble caused by the various sects? What if you're lying to me?"

Seeing that the hidden weapon in her hand had been disarmed, Yin Susu seemed to lose her last sense of security. Although her question was normal, her tone was unusually weak. She realized something was wrong and tried to be assertive, but Gu Hanyuan tightened his arm and pressed his body closer to hers, causing her to lose her momentum.

"I can resolve Yu Daiyan's problem by tomorrow morning. Perhaps I can't completely resolve the hatred, but obtaining his forgiveness will be a piece of cake. As for the trouble caused by the various sects, I will take care of it for you after the birthday celebration begins. Of course, if I lie to you, I'll just die with you. What else is there for someone who isn't afraid of death?"

Gu Hanyuan chuckled lightly, his tone full of confidence, as if it were just a trivial problem.

"And Wuji, you must rescue him."

Perhaps influenced by Gu Hanyuan's confident tone, Yin Susu unconsciously placed her hopes for rescuing Zhang Wuji on him.

"It depends on my mood..."

Gu Hanyuan pressed his nose against Yin Susu's hair, inhaling the fragrance, and casually replied.

"No, I will not agree unless you promise to rescue Wuji."

Yin Susu tried to bargain.

"Alright. Saving one is the same as saving two. Just wait a few days and see the results, Madam."

Gu Hanyuan seemed to have no choice but to compromise.

"Is that okay now?"

Yin Susu remained silent. She thought to herself that she would just consider it a dog bite and kill Wuji to cover it up after rescuing him.

Seeing that Yin Susu acquiesced, Gu Hanyuan closed the door and blew out the lamp.

. . . . . .

When Yin Susu woke up the next day, her eyes were glazed over for a moment, as if she wanted to confirm whether everything that had happened the night before was just a dream. However, the soreness in her body kept reminding her that it was all real.

After her eyes cleared, Yin Susu stood up and almost fell to the ground, muttering a curse under her breath.

"You little rascal, you're like a bull."

Recalling the blush-inducing and heart-pounding events of last night, Yin Susu cursed herself for her body's incompetence.

However, she couldn't be entirely blamed; she was already in her prime. Since the birth of Zhang Wuji on Icefire Island, Xie Xun's madness had subsided, and he moved into a cave to live with Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu. After Xie Xun went blind, his hearing became exceptionally acute; if he heard anything during their intimate moments, it would be a death sentence. Icefire Island only had four people, including Zhang Wuji, so there was practically no privacy. After Zhang Wuji's birth, their focus shifted even further to him. Yin Susu and Zhang Cuishan hadn't had marital relations for at least ten years, so the sudden encounter with the strong, young, and handsome Gu Hanyuan inevitably made her more sensitive.

Yin Susu shook her head vigorously, as if trying to banish all the images from her mind. Coming to her senses, she pulled a small medicine bottle from under her pillow, recalling what Gu Hanyuan had said in her hazy state afterward.

"The one who injured Yu Daiyan with the Vajra Finger technique back then was a member of the Vajra Sect from the Western Regions. The entire Vajra Sect of the Western Regions has submitted to the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, and many of its disciples are affiliated with the Prince of Ruyang's Mansion. The Dragon-Slaying Saber of that year was part of the Prince of Ruyang's Mansion's scheme to disrupt the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty. And this bottle of medicine is the Vajra Sect of the Western Regions' unique secret medicine - Black Jade Bone-Setting Ointment, which is specially used to treat fractures and can even set broken bones. With it, Yu Daiyan's paralysis can be cured, and then we can explain the truth of what happened back then to him. Even if we don't completely resolve the hatred, he will at least forgive you. As for how to explain the source of the information and the medicine, I think that won't be a problem for you, Madam."

Looking at the black jade ointment in her hand, Yin Susu muttered, "At least they have some conscience," before reluctantly getting up, dressing, and cleaning up the mess. Thankfully, Zhang Cuishan hadn't returned home all night and hadn't been seen yet; otherwise, if he had seen the scene in the room, she would have been finished.

Gu Hanyuan was currently in his room, reviewing the previous night's gains and refining his plans for the future.

Last night's gains, besides the pleasant experience, were most importantly the acquisition of his first batch of villain points. An S-rank rating and 3500 villain points made Gu Hanyuan incredibly wealthy.

Gu Hanyuan actually thought the assessment was quite fair. First, his actions last night perfectly fit the criteria for villainous behavior; second, Yin Susu was Zhang Wuji's mother, and their relationship was very close; third, Yin Susu was a well-known beauty with striking looks. Therefore, he felt perfectly justified in accepting the 3500 villain points.

The Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment for Yin Susu only cost 50 Villain Points, an astonishingly cheap price. It seems that anything that exists will be much cheaper. I did, however, test the system's deductive abilities.

Gu Hanyuan spent 1000 villain points to obtain a basic Puppet Technique according to his needs. The puppet looks exactly like Gu Hanyuan. It is entirely controlled by his consciousness, including speaking, and has the same current power level as the original Gu Hanyuan. It will disappear immediately if it is damaged. The maximum distance between the puppet and the original Gu Hanyuan is 100 li. If it exceeds this distance, it will also disappear immediately. It exists for one hour and has a cooldown time of one day.

At first glance, this puppet technique seems rather useless, but when used well, it can have unexpected benefits. Firstly, because the puppet is entirely controlled by the user's consciousness, it essentially provides an additional perspective. This morning at dawn, to prevent Zhang Cuishan from returning to Yin Susu's place early, Gu Hanyuan used this puppet to monitor his movements from a distance. Sure enough, he and the other five heroes talked by candlelight until dawn. Only when the puppet was about to dissipate did the six of them come together to visit Yu Daiyan. Furthermore, with this basic puppet technique, they have a more comprehensive plan for Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday celebration a few days later.
