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

In addition, there were Qi Changfa and Yan Daping hiding in the shadows.

Once their struggle has become public, then stir up trouble in Jiangling City and escalate the situation.

It's no fun playing around with small-scale games all the time; this time, let's go big.

Gu Hanyuan rarely traveled, because neither of his two clones had reached their destination yet.

The Sui Kingdom is too far away; we haven't even arrived halfway yet.

Even with Zhang Wuji's clone, it will still take several days to reach the Eagle Sect.

However, I did get to properly assess the villainous aspects of the two women on the way.

I also taught them the simplified version of the "Nine Yin Manual" and the "Yin Chapter" of the "Yin Yang Manual".

After Ling Shuanghua accumulated 2100 villain points, she "went" to the "advertisement" section and couldn't accumulate any more.

Qi Fang, on the other hand, had more points. After reaching 2600 villain points, she couldn't progress any further, and the series evaluation hadn't been settled yet, accumulating 10600 points.

Even if both women are together, there is no change, so it is clear that simply grinding like this is not very efficient.

Of course, the two women ignored Gu Hanyuan for the entire day afterward.

Xiangyang City truly lived up to its reputation as an important town of the Song Dynasty, with its high walls and deep moats.

Compared to the lax discipline of the Jiangling garrison, the Xiangyang garrison was much more disciplined.

Fortunately, it wasn't wartime, so entering and exiting the city gates wasn't too strict.

Upon entering Xiangyang, one could not discern the solemnity expected of a major military town; instead, it was bustling and noisy.

The Song Dynasty was a commercially developed country, and Xiangyang had a superior geographical location with roads leading in all directions. Merchants from the north and south brought vitality to the city.

Gu Hanyuan had no intention of accompanying the two women to tour Xiangyang City. After all, he was still Wutian, and it was not appropriate for him to openly get involved with the two women outside, otherwise, there was no guarantee that no one would target them.

With the wealth Gu Hanyuan had just acquired from Emperor Liang Yuan's treasure, he naturally wouldn't mistreat his women, so he purchased a mansion that had been transferred to someone else for them.

After settling the two women in, Gu Hanyuan changed out of Wutian's clothes and returned to his elegant and handsome appearance. He strolled around Xiangyang City, inquiring about information about the Bodhi Qu Snake.

Gu Hanyuan was still very curious about Dugu Jianzhong.

Gu Hanyuan searched for an hour but found nothing.

Gu Hanyuan walked into the restaurant in front of him.

Upon entering the restaurant, I saw that almost all the men in the building were staring at a young girl.

The girl was dressed in red, like burning embers, which made her face look like white jade, as radiant as the morning sun, like a red rose in midsummer.

Two boys sat beside the girl, their faces servile and obsequious, trying to please her.

Gu Hanyuan looked on with disgust. This group was clearly Miss Guo Fu and her two sycophantic followers.

Although Guo Fu was willful and capricious, she was indeed as beautiful as a peach blossom, a rare beauty in the world.

I just don't know how much of Huang Rong's charm she inherited.

As for her devoted followers, Da Wu and Xiao Wu, they were rather unbearable to watch; in terms of their sycophancy, only Duan Yu could rival them.

Gu Hanyuan paid no attention to the trio that had attracted everyone's attention.

I casually found an empty table and sat down, calling out twice to wake the waiter.

After ordering some food and drinks, he placed the "Hero's Sword" on the table and sat down to drink by himself.

Guo Fu had been secretly watching Gu Hanyuan ever since he entered the room.

Gu Hanyuan was handsome, and after learning the immortal cultivation technique "Yin Yang Technique", his energy and spirit improved a lot.

The "Yin Yang Technique" is a dual cultivation method, and its attraction to women is comparable to the "Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique".

At least in Guo Fu's eyes, Gu Hanyuan, dressed in flowing white robes, was dashing and handsome, like an immortal descended from heaven.

Chapter 88: Getting Caught in the Act of Gossip

However, after entering the restaurant, Gu Hanyuan only glanced at Guo Fu and then ignored her, creating a stark contrast with the others present. Even the phrase "a crane standing among chickens" wouldn't be enough to describe him.

Da Wu and Xiao Wu are indeed two useless cowards who only know how to fight over girls.

Seeing that Guo Fu's beautiful eyes were fixed on Gu Hanyuan, he only wanted to draw her attention away from him.

But looking at Gu Hanyuan's handsome face, which could make one feel inferior, the two realized with dismay that ordinary conversations were probably pointless.

The younger brother, Wu Xiuwen, was more astute and remembered a rumor from some time ago.

"Brother, have you heard? A while ago, someone caused a huge disturbance at Chongyang Palace, and beat up everyone in the Quanzhen Sect. Even when Master Qiu and Master Ma set up the Big Dipper Formation, they couldn't defeat him."

This matter is indeed very newsworthy. After all, the Quanzhen School has a great reputation in the Song Dynasty and is good at creating hype, making it seem as if the Quanzhen School is full of masters.

Now, however, it has caused quite a stir, which clearly makes it a hot topic.

As soon as Gu Hanyuan heard Wu Xiuwen's words, he knew what he meant, but he never expected to be caught up in the drama himself.

A subtle, amused smile appeared on his lips.

Guo Fu was about to have her attention diverted by Wu Xiuwen's words when she saw the sudden smile on Gu Hanyuan's cold expression, creating a stark contrast.

Guo Fu could only think: How come his smile is so handsome?

Wu Xiuwen was speechless, helpless against Guo Fu's infatuation, so he could only signal Wu Dunru to quickly play the straight man.

Wu Dunru understood immediately:

"Yes, I heard that person is called Gu Hanyuan. He is a disciple of Wudang and is already a master at the peak of the Innate Realm at less than twenty years old. Moreover, his swordsmanship is superb, and he wields a divine weapon called the 'Hero Sword.' He is a true young hero."

As expected, Guo Fu was still a young girl at heart, and her father, Guo Jing, was a respected hero, so she was very interested in these kinds of rumors about the martial arts world.

Seeing that Guo Fu's attention had been drawn, Wu Xiuwen quickly seized the opportunity.

"Yes, we martial artists should still respect strength. When we are young, we should study and practice martial arts diligently, instead of carrying a sword and pretending to be a great hero and parading around."

Wu Dunru also chimed in:

"Exactly, martial arts skills are more important. Otherwise, what good is good looks?"

This is practically a direct reference to Gu Hanyuan.

Guo Fu also realized that the two were making veiled accusations against each other. She frowned slightly, and although she was indignant, she believed that their reasoning was correct and irrefutable.

You should know that her father wasn't particularly good-looking either, but he still married Huang Rong, who was once the most beautiful woman in the Song Dynasty's martial arts world.

Gu Hanyuan felt a strange sensation in his heart, and he could barely maintain his composure.

He could only suppress his awkwardness, put on a subtle smile, and fiddle with his wine glass, taking sips of wine every now and then.

Hmm, the taste was just so-so, I won't drink it next time.

Suddenly, Gu Hanyuan's expression changed as he looked towards the entrance of the restaurant.

A man in hemp clothing walked over, his face full of lazy arrogance.

"What Gu Hanyuan? He's just a junior."

It turned out he had been listening outside the door for a while.

"Who are you?"

When Wu Xiuwen saw that his words were being refuted with disdain, he questioned him.

"I am a fierce tyrant from Qinghai."

Those in the martial arts world who had heard of the legendary "Hero of Qinghai" began to exclaim in surprise:

"Qinghai Yixiao is the apprentice of the infamous Whiteboard Killer who was notorious in the martial arts world back then. He has committed many major cases in recent years and is a well-known master in the evil path."

Seeing the flattery, the tyrant from Qinghai looked around at everyone with a smug expression.

He was taken aback when he saw Guo Fu, and his lazy demeanor vanished. He had never seen a beauty of this caliber before.

"Hey, there's such a beautiful young lady here. Let me take a good look at her."

He walked towards Guo Fu and reached out to touch her face.

Guo Fu was so frightened that she kept backing away.

When Da Wu and Xiao Wu saw that Qinghai Yixiao was about to harass their goddess Guo Fu, they stepped forward to stop him.

Enraged, he drew his sword and slashed at a hawk in Qinghai.

Qinghai Yixiao easily defeated them with just two moves.

"With such weak martial arts skills, how dare you show off?"

Wu Xiuwen hurriedly brought up Guo Jing's name.

"Do you know that this is the daughter of Master Guo?"

"Guo Jing's daughter?"

Qinghai Yixiao hesitated after hearing their words. Even he had reservations about harassing Guo Jing's daughter in Xiangyang City.

"Da Wu and Xiao Wu are both my father's disciples. You've injured them, so hurry up and leave, or you'll be finished when my father arrives."

Although Guo Fu was willful, she was also fierce. At this moment, she drew her long sword and confronted Qinghai Yixiao, even trying to scare him away.

Qinghai Yixiao had some reservations at first, but he laughed when he heard that Da Wu and Xiao Wu were Guo Jing's disciples.
