He went to great lengths to win Qi Fang back then, but he never expected it would end like this.

"Now that the transaction is complete, I'll take my leave. I'll come to see Qi Fang again when I have time."

Gu Hanyuan smiled knowingly.

The two men's faces darkened upon hearing this. Although there had been progress in uncovering the secret of the treasure, it was still nowhere to be found. They had even sacrificed Qi Fang for it; it was truly a double loss.

Gu Hanyuan could tell what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions, and thought that Ling Tuisi must have a lot in common with them.

Freebies definitely make me happy.

He glanced back at Qi Fang, making her blush, then used his lightness skill to disappear before the three of them could react...

When Qi Fang saw Wan Gui approaching, her face turned from red to black, and she launched her attack before he could speak.

What are you doing here?!

"Fang'er, let me explain."

Wan Gui tried to grab Qi Fang's hand, but she dodged him.

"Pah! I don't have a husband like you."

Wan Gui's face was gloomy. Although he knew that Qi Fang would definitely be angry because of this, he still felt embarrassed to be criticized to her face.

It was Wan Zhenshan who stepped in to smooth things over.

"Good daughter-in-law, don't blame Gui'er. This is all for the treasure. Think about it, if we can get the treasure, won't you share in the wealth and glory from now on?"

Hearing Wan Zhenshan's shameless words, Qi Fang felt her worldview shattered and saw clearly what kind of people the father and son were.

Seeing that Qi Fang remained silent, Wan Zhenshan continued to persuade her:

“Good daughter-in-law, since Wutian knows how to crack the code, he must also know the whereabouts of the ‘Selected Tang Poems’. Go and talk to him casually and see if you can get anything out of him. You are the daughter-in-law of the Wan family, and you will have to do things for the Wan family. Don’t worry, Gui’er will definitely treat you well in the future. If he dares to dislike you, your father-in-law will definitely stand up for you.”

Qi Fang was shocked by Wan Zhenshan's words, because Gu Hanyuan had taken a copy of "Selected Tang Poems" from her the night before, which must be the clue to the treasure they were looking for.

Looking at the faces of Wan Zhenshan and his son, they had no intention of telling them the truth. Instead, they felt that although Gu Hanyuan was bad, he was genuinely bad.

0.3 Compared to the shameless father and son, Gu Hanyuan is more trustworthy.

"Okay, but give me back the water spinach."

Wan Zhenshan was about to show his joy when he saw Qi Fang agree, but his expression became uncertain after hearing that she wanted water spinach.

The water spinach is the best bargaining chip to control Qi Fang, so it definitely can't be returned to her.

"Fang'er, it's not that we don't trust you, it's just that you're carrying a heavy responsibility right now, and it's inconvenient for you to carry Little Water Spinach around. How about we return Little Water Spinach to you after you find out where the 'Selected Tang Poems' is?"

Qi Fang looked pained. Little Water Spinach was the granddaughter and daughter of these two people, and she was being used to threaten her.

But she couldn't give up on Xiao Kongxincai, so she had no choice but to agree, though she was thinking about whether she could ask Gu Hanyuan for help.

After all, he was quite fond of the water spinach dishes.

Qi Fang thought shyly.

Chapter 85: Di Yun, you don't want Qi Fang's efforts to be in vain, do you?

After returning to the Ling residence, Gu Hanyuan did not go to see Ling Tuisi, who was anxiously searching for him, but went straight to the dungeon.

Although the dungeon of the Ling family mansion was heavily guarded, it couldn't even hold Ding Dian, let alone Gu Hanyuan, who was a master of lightness skills.

They easily infiltrated the dungeon without alerting anyone.

After entering the dungeon, they quickly found where Ding Dian and Di Yun were being held.

Ding Dian stared blankly at the only window in the cell.

Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the window, illuminating his miserable state before Gu Hanyuan and Di Yun.

The wounds on his shoulder and fingers had been bandaged to stop the bleeding, but the bloodstains on his body had stained his white inner lining into a blood-stained garment.

After the blood congealed, dark red blood clots were scattered all over the place.

Di Yun was looking at Ding Dian with a troubled expression, because he had been in this state all day.

He neither eats nor speaks; he just stares blankly into space.

No matter how much Di Yun shouted, it was no use.

"Do you want to see that pot of chrysanthemums? I threw it away."

Gu Hanyuan's teasing voice came from behind.

Ding Dian reacted, looking at Gu Hanyuan with hatred.

He was not only devastated by what happened last night, but also because he had not been able to see the pot of chrysanthemums that were his spiritual nourishment, nor had he heard Ling Shuanghua's flute playing all day today.

"By the way, didn't you hear Xiao Sheng 31? Shuang Hua is playing a solo for me."

Unfortunately, Ding Dian didn't understand what he was saying and continued to glare at Gu Hanyuan with hatred.

Gu Hanyuan felt slightly bored.

"Incompetent fool. Shuanghua had a good night, so you don't need to worry about her anymore. Just be your hero Ding."

Gu Hanyuan felt a little relieved after seeing Ding Dian's chest heaving violently, looking like he was about to die of anger.

Di Yun, standing to the side, didn't understand what was going on, since Ding Dian hadn't explained to him what had happened the night before.

"You must be Di Yun? Qi Fang entrusted me to rescue you."

"Junior sister! How is she? Is she alright?"

Upon hearing Gu Hanyuan mention Qi Fang, Di Yun excitedly grabbed the iron pillar of the prison door.

"Qi Fang married Wan Gui and gave birth to a daughter for him."

Upon hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, Di Yun became distraught.

Gu Hanyuan delivered the final blow.

"By the way, Wan Gui gave Qi Fang to me for the sake of the treasure."

Di Yun was stunned. Although he was saddened to hear the news of his junior sister's marriage, he was at least relieved to know that she was alright, given his kind nature.

However, the sudden and unexpected shock left him completely bewildered.

"Was your junior sister given to you by Wan Gui?"

Di Yun stared intently at Gu Hanyuan.

"Otherwise, why would I have listened to her request to save you?"

Gu Hanyuan said jokingly.

"I don't need your help!"

Di Yun screamed in despair.

"It's not up to you."

Gu Hanyuan easily opened the prison door with his sword energy and grabbed Di Yun.

"Di Yun, you don't want Qi Fang's efforts to be in vain, do you? After all, she has satisfied me very much."

Di Yun had stopped responding and had become exactly like Ding Dian before.

Gu Hanyuan didn't care and grabbed Di Yun as they left.

He left with a single sentence before he left.

"I will take Shuanghua with me. There's no need to wait."

Ding Dian's eyes were dark as he watched Gu Hanyuan leave the dungeon.

Gu Hanyuan led Di Yun out of Jiangling City, scaling walls and rooftops.

We stopped in a small town and headed straight for a certain place.

There, a bonfire was burning brightly, and dozens of people were gathered in a circle drinking and eating meat.

The one leading them was none other than the Blood Blade Ancestor, whom Gu Hanyuan had spared the previous night.

Blood Saber Ancestor was enjoying his drink when Gu Hanyuan descended from the sky, and he spat out the wine in his mouth.

He picked up the blood-stained knife warily and stood ready.

Although Gu Hanyuan let him go last night, he suddenly came knocking on his door today, and Blood Blade Ancestor felt uneasy.

"Lord Wutian, what brings you here?"

Despite his fear and wariness, the Blood Blade Ancestor still asked respectfully.

"Ancestor Blood Blade, I've brought you a disciple."

After hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, Blood Blade Ancestor finally noticed Di Yun, who was being held in his hand.

"Is this the young man that Lord Wutian is referring to?"

"This lad is most suited to learn the 'Blood Saber Manual.' I saw that you two are destined to meet, so I sent it to you."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes were subtle. Di Yun and the Blood Blade Ancestor were indeed destined to be together, but it was a tragic fate.

Although Blood Blade Ancestor was a villain, he was kind to Di Yun.
