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

If Gu Hanyuan hadn't already witnessed Dai Qisi's beauty recently, and hadn't seen her regain some of her peak condition after being "nourishd," he probably wouldn't have been able to restrain himself either.

Once he transforms into Wutian, even Ouyang Feng wouldn't be a match for his "Holy Spirit Sword Technique." If he were to kidnap Xiaolongnu again, he could do whatever he wanted.

Suppressing his restless thoughts, he watched as Xiaolongnu, who was already at a disadvantage, gradually lost her ability to resist.

After all, Xiaolongnu was only at the late stage of the Innate Realm at this time, while Ouyang Feng was already at the late stage of the Grandmaster Realm. If it weren't for her mental confusion and the resulting significant reduction in strength, Xiaolongnu wouldn't have been able to withstand even one move.

There was also a handsome young man on the sidelines. No wonder he was Yang Guo, the man who was destined to be with Yang Guo for life. Even compared to Gu Hanyuan, he was only slightly inferior.

At this moment, Yang Guo anxiously stepped forward to persuade him.

Meanwhile, someone was secretly watching from the bushes in the shadows; it must have been Zhen Zhibing.

Little did he know that his whereabouts had already been noticed by Gu Hanyuan.

Yang Guo finally managed to persuade the two on the field to stop fighting. Ouyang Feng offered to teach Yang Guo the Toad Stance, but worried that Xiaolongnu would steal the skill, so he secretly used acupressure on her.

Gu Hanyuan did not rush to make a move. It was only after Zhen Zhibing knocked Xiaolongnu down and covered her face with a veil that Gu Hanyuan appeared behind him and knocked her unconscious.

He looked at Xiaolongnu lying there, completely defenseless and powerless, with a dark expression in his eyes.

If one were to follow the example of Zhen Zhibing in the story and possess her, and then destroy the evidence to make it appear as if Zhen Zhibing had fled to escape punishment, one could enjoy the seemingly celestial Xiaolongnu without any pressure.

However, after thinking for a moment, Gu Hanyuan gave up on the idea. It wasn't that he couldn't do it, but rather that the returns wouldn't meet his expectations.

He could never accept the outcome of becoming a stranger to a beauty like Xiaolongnu after just one encounter.

Xiaolongnu is naturally quiet and craves long-term companionship. In the story, she repeatedly tries to return to the Ancient Tomb with Yang Guo to live in seclusion.

If it were a serious attempt to win over Xiaolongnu, there would be no time or effort involved.

This world is in chaos, and the balance of power among nations will soon be broken. Gu Hanyuan must make preparations as soon as possible before that happens.

In order to develop and grow as quickly as possible, he has no choice but to rely on the system, which is why he spares no effort in causing trouble.

If we really let him retreat into seclusion for ten years before he comes out of seclusion, it will be too late.

—The following is from Xiaolongnu's perspective—

After Xiaolongnu was struck by Ouyang Feng's acupoints, she secretly tried to break through them, but how could Ouyang Feng, who had practiced the "Nine Yin Manual" in reverse, break through the acupoints so easily?

However, she has a calm nature and is not in a hurry.

Not long after, she felt someone approach from behind, knock her to the ground, and cover her face with a towel.

Xiaolongnu initially thought it was Ouyang Feng returning, but at this moment, based on her woman's intuition, she vaguely had a premonition about the newcomer's intentions.

She thought it must be Yang Guo, someone she wanted to get close to but didn't dare to.

That's the only way to think about it, otherwise...

Suddenly, a heavy thud was heard, and before anyone could understand what was happening, the face mask covering their face was removed.

What came into view was a man even more handsome than Yang Guo, but that did not change the fact that it was not Yang Guo who wanted to do something to her.

Therefore, even though Xiaolongnu had practiced the Ancient Tomb Sect's mental techniques and was aloof and detached from worldly desires, she was still inevitably shocked and angered at this moment.

As her chest heaved, the person in front of her lightly pressed several acupoints on her body, and she felt the pressure points release, regaining her mobility.

Instinctively, he raised the Quanzhen Sect longsword that had fallen to his side and stabbed at him.

He seemed to be startled by Xiaolongnu's attack and was unable to dodge in time, and was stabbed in the chest.

When Xiaolongnu saw the blood splattering, she came to her senses and took a few steps back.

At the same time, she finally saw the situation clearly. Besides the two of them, there was a man wearing a Quanzhen Taoist robe lying unconscious on the ground next to where they had been.

Only then did Xiaolongnu realize that she seemed to have misunderstood something.

The man in front of her clutched his chest, trying to say something, but he had already fallen forward.

After all, Xiaolongnu was kind-hearted and had already realized it was a misunderstanding. The person in front of her should have saved her, but now she was hurt by her.

She rushed forward to support him, but the sudden weight and masculine presence caused Xiaolongnu to lose her balance and be thrown solidly into his arms.

With a muffled groan and a blush creeping across her face, Xiaolongnu hesitated for a moment while supporting him, but instead of helping him into the ancient tomb, she took him to the thatched hut that Yang Guo had built outside the tomb.

Of course, it was Gu Hanyuan who staged the whole self-inflicted injury ruse.

Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo had already established a deep emotional foundation during their four years in the Ancient Tomb. Anyone who wanted to interfere would have to make a strong impression on her at their first meeting, but they couldn't just rush into it.

Since he couldn't be there for her, and his status made it inconvenient for Xiaolongnu to hate him, he would first make her feel guilty.

Even the Quanzhen Sect longsword that fell next to Xiaolongnu was carefully placed by Gu Hanyuan in the most convenient position for him to use.

With Gu Hanyuan's current martial arts skills, his schemes against Xiaolongnu are bound to succeed.

As for the apparent blood loss from being stabbed by the sword, it was actually just a superficial wound, and the blood that spurted out was actually forced out by his own internal energy.

They were just taking advantage of Xiaolongnu's lack of medical knowledge to see the problem. They even had to control her internal energy from time to time to make a little blood flow out. If she didn't get treatment, she would be completely cured.

I never expected that the seemingly slender Little Dragon Girl would be so well-endowed.

Chapter 57: Attacking Chongyang Palace

The next day, when Gu Hanyuan pretended to wake up from his coma, his body had already been bandaged, but the bandages were so messy that they were almost comical, like a tangled mess of yarn slapped on his body.

"you're awake?"

A clear and pleasant voice came through.

Seeing Xiaolongnu's stunning beauty the moment you open your eyes is truly a perfect experience.

Yang Guo glanced at Zhen Zhibing, who was tied up and occasionally kicked him from the corner.

I'm sorry, Yang Guo.

Yang Guo was kicking the defenseless Zhen Zhibing in frustration when a sudden chill ran through him, and he couldn't help but shiver.

He also noticed that Gu Hanyuan had regained consciousness and was walking over with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for saving my aunt, otherwise..."

At this point, Yang Guo glared at Zhen Zhibing hatefully again.

Gu Hanyuan pretended to get up with difficulty, looking at Xiaolongnu without saying a word.

Xiaolongnu, who had initially maintained a cool and aloof demeanor, gradually became embarrassed.

"Fine, I won't hold it against you for repaying kindness with enmity by stabbing me."

Xiaolongnu already felt guilty, and hearing Gu Hanyuan's words deepened her guilt even more. She thought it would be better to be stabbed back.

Gu Hanyuan was also thinking that he would get back at Xiaolongnu sooner or later, only the place to stab her would be a little different.

Yang Guo noticed the awkwardness between the two and spoke up to ease the tension:

"Brother, my aunt didn't mean it. By the way, my name is Yang Guo, and this is my master, Xiaolongnu. Who are you, brother? What brings you to the outside of the Ancient Tomb?"

Yang Guo was clever, and his childhood experiences also made him suspicious.

"I am Gu Hanyuan, a disciple of the Wudang Sect. I originally came to pay a visit to the Quanzhen Sect. I happened to see a Quanzhen Sect disciple acting suspiciously, so I followed him. I never expected to witness such a spectacle. The Quanzhen Sect has truly produced a fine disciple."

Gu Hanyuan also knew that it was quite strange to have inexplicably come to the forbidden ancient tomb of the Quanzhen Sect. In order to avoid being investigated further, he directly turned the finger at Zhen Zhibing.

As expected, Yang Guo lost interest in arguing with Gu Hanyuan after hearing this, and went up to kick Zhen Zhibing again.

Zhen Zhibing looked utterly defeated, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his clothes torn and disheveled.

Xiaolongnu was naturally quiet, and she felt particularly awkward in front of Gu Hanyuan, so she remained silent.

He would only glance at it when Zhen Zhibing was mentioned.

Then, while feeling fortunate, her guilt towards Gu Hanyuan deepened once again.

“Miss Long, I know you didn’t do it on purpose and didn’t mean to hold it against me. But since the Quanzhen School of Taoism has produced such a scoundrel, I have no choice but to seek justice for you.”

Gu Hanyuan originally intended to suppress the Quanzhen Sect. The reason why the Wudang Sect did not have a high influence in the Song Kingdom was largely due to the suppression by the Quanzhen Sect.

The current Zhen Zhibing incident is practically the best tool for boosting reputation.

"What are you going to do?"

Xiaolongnu only wanted to repay Gu Hanyuan's kindness and make up for the guilt of accidentally injuring him. She would agree to anything that wasn't too outrageous.

"I would like to ask Miss Long to accompany me to Chongyang Palace. Without witnesses, the Quanzhen Sect may not acknowledge the matter."

Upon hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, Yang Guo immediately expressed his desire to go as well.

"Well, please wait a moment while I sort out this mess on my body."

Seeing that the serious matter had been discussed, Gu Hanyuan looked at Xiaolongnu and teased her.

The only person who could bandage him up like this is probably the naive and innocent Little Dragon Girl.

Xiaolongnu felt embarrassed again after hearing Gu Hanyuan's teasing. Fortunately, she was relieved to see that he didn't take it to heart and also developed a bit of a liking for him.

After all, it's hard not to like someone who doesn't hold a grudge about being accidentally injured by her and even goes to the Quanzhen Sect, a behemoth, to seek justice for her.

Looking at his handsome face again, I couldn't see clearly at night, but now I feel that Gu Hanyuan is even three points more handsome than Yang Guo.

Even those who aren't particularly attracted to good-looking people will naturally feel a bit more favorably towards them.

This was also the first time that Xiaolongnu had developed feelings for a man other than Yang Guo.

After Gu Hanyuan finished getting ready, the three of them took Zhen Zhibing to Chongyang Palace.
