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

Li Qingluo saw this.

They knew their task was complete.

He said in a gentle voice:

"Then Miss Huo, please change your clothes. I'll head out now."

Huo Qingtong smiled and thanked her:

"Thank you, Sister Li."

She watched Li Qingluo leave the room.

Change your clothes.

A long emerald green dress accentuated Huo Qingtong's heroic spirit, adding a touch of feminine grace.

Huo Qingtong rarely wore skirts that were inconvenient for riding horses.

I felt a little out of place at first.

Looking at myself in the bronze mirror, I saw a reflection that was different from my usual self.

He gained a bit more confidence.

Take a deep breath.

Slowly push open the door.

Then they saw Gu Hanyuan standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

The soft morning sunlight shone on him.

He looks increasingly heroic.

Gu Hanyuan seemed to have heard the noise.

She turned around and smiled gently.

"Miss Huo is awake?"

Huo Qingtong looked at his handsome, almost ethereal face.

For a moment, I was completely mesmerized.

Chapter 396: Gu Hanyuan, a Man of Integrity?

Gu Hanyuan looked at Huo Qingtong, who was in a daze.

A fleeting look of satisfaction crossed his eyes.

He asked with concern:

"What's wrong with Miss Huo? Is there still some lingering poison?"

Huo Qingtong listened to Gu Hanyuan's worried words.

I finally came to my senses.

I realized I had been completely mesmerized just now.

He immediately blushed deeply.

She lowered her head shyly and said:

"Thank you so much for saving me last night, Young Master Gu. I'm much better now."

Gu Hanyuan smiled gently:

"That's good. This kind of medicine can easily damage one's mind. I took a shortcut last night, and if it causes Miss Huo any aftereffects, I will feel uneasy."

Gu Hanyuan's smile was warm.

Combined with the soft sunlight.

It looks more and more dazzling.

Huo Qingtong seemed to be staring blankly again.

Fortunately, I came to my senses in time.

Her beautiful eyes were overflowing with romantic charm.

He said softly:

"Young Master Gu, you flatter me. Last night's situation... Young Master Gu is a true gentleman, and Qing Tong admires him."

Huo Qingtong could hardly believe that she could still have such a gentle voice.

Where was the trace of his former forthrightness?

Her complexion, however, became increasingly rosy.

Gu Hanyuan smiled awkwardly and said:

"Miss Huo is as beautiful as a spring flower and as radiant as the morning glow. Last night I endured great hardship and am truly unworthy of the name of a gentleman."

He didn't lie either.

Under those circumstances last night.

Huo Qingtong, who was already beautiful, changed her image.

She became gentle and charming.

The stark contrast is even more captivating.

Even Gu Hanyuan had to silently recite the "Ice Heart Mantra" to endure it.

But it also accumulated a lot of passionate emotions.

Fortunately, Li Qingluo helped to calm things down last night.

Otherwise, Gu Hanyuan might regret it halfway through.

Huo Qingtong never expected that Gu Hanyuan would express his affection for her so frankly.

A feeling of joy welled up in my heart.

She said shyly in a soft voice:

"Young Master Gu, you can just call me Qing Tong."

Huo Qingtong is quite shy when it comes to relationships.

Taking the initiative to change the way she addresses people is already the greatest courage she can muster.

Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan did not disappoint her.

He smiled gently:

"Then Qing Tong shouldn't be so distant with me..."

Huo Qingtong's beautiful face couldn't hide her joy.

He called out rather cautiously:

"Brother Gu?"

The two are about the same age.

But having experienced what happened last night.

In Huo Qingtong's eyes.

Gu Hanyuan's image became much more impressive.

She saw Gu Hanyuan nod in agreement.

My heart was filled with joy and excitement.

As a result, I wasn't so nervous anymore.

Gu Hanyuan saw that Huo Qingtong had shaken off her girlish shyness.

His eyes flashed.

He asked in a deep voice:

"What happened to Qing Tong last night? Why was she poisoned by Fukang'an?"

Huo Qingtong's expression darkened upon hearing this.

He recounted without reservation how he was tricked into forming an alliance the previous night.

They did not even conceal the difficult situation in the Hui region.

Clearly, she trusted Gu Hanyuan immensely.

Huo Qingtong sighed softly:

"Fukang'an was a man of great military achievements. Throughout the Qing Dynasty, he was widely regarded as a man of both literary and martial prowess, with a dignified and modest demeanor. I never imagined he would be so shameless."

This is similar to Gu Hanyuan's method of boosting his reputation.

However, Fukang'an was a product of years of propaganda by the Qing Dynasty.
