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

Even her beautiful, delicate neck glowed with a rosy hue.

Her already stunning 960-point appearance now possessed an added touch of everyday life and allure.

So beautiful that it makes one lose their senses.

Wen Qingqing was also amazed by Zhu Meichu's beauty at this moment.

Finally came back to his senses.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan openly expressed his affection for Zhu Meichu.

Her little mouth was pouting even higher than before she boarded the ship.

My first instinct was to reach out and pinch him.

However, she hesitated when she reached for Gu Hanyuan's waist.

Wen Qingqing was indeed jealous.

But she hesitated, wondering if she would anger Gu Hanyuan.

Before she could even lament her fate...

The fair palms were already enveloped in warmth.

It turned out that Gu Hanyuan had already taken it into his hands.

Wen Qingqing stared blankly as Gu Hanyuan lifted her delicate hand and gently touched it to his lips.

The warmth felt by her slender fingers was like a gentle current flowing into her heart.

It was so hot that her heart pounded.

A beautiful blush rose on her delicate face.

She lowered her head shyly and said reproachfully:

"Brother Gu, the Ninth Princess is still here!"

Zhu Meichu stared blankly at the interaction between the two.

The temperature on my face gradually decreased.

I felt a sense of bewilderment and loss.

Then I thought about my own situation.

A bitter feeling suddenly welled up in my heart.

However, she maintained a dignified and proper smile and said:

"The two are a perfect match, which makes Ah Jiu quite envious."

Wen Qingqing's shyness goes without saying.

Gu Hanyuan, however, teased meaningfully:

"Does Miss Ajiu wish to experience it for herself?"

Chapter 501: Zhu Meichu: I will give Young Master Gu a satisfactory reward.

Zhu Meichu blushed deeply.

It's even darker than the previous color.

Having gained a deeper understanding of Gu Hanyuan, she said reproachfully:

"No wonder it's rumored that Young Master Gu has countless female confidantes; his words have surely deceived countless naive young girls."

Gu Hanyuan smiled faintly.

He said leisurely:

"If we cannot hold onto the beauty we see in this life, wouldn't we have lived in vain?"

There was a pause.

He praised her with a meaningful tone:

"Miss Ajiu is a beauty of unparalleled grace and fragrance, a rare gem in this world."

Previously, he had expressed his affection for Zhu Meichu in a somewhat roundabout way.

Now it's been made completely clear.

However, Zhu Meichu's reaction was somewhat unexpected.

There was neither a response nor a refusal.

After a moment of silence.

He smiled faintly:

"Master Gu is joking."

Her smile was faint at that moment.

Gu Hanyuan, however, sensed a hint of bitterness in it.

Combined with intelligence gathered from the "ground network".

He gained a clear understanding of Zhu Meichu's situation.

Zhu Houzhao disliked Zhu Meichu.

Unfortunately, she held a very high position.

If you don't treat her well, it will seem mean.

The best solution would be to arrange a marriage between Zhu Meichu and someone else.

However, choosing a partner is not easy.

It is not appropriate to arrange a marriage between Zhu Meichu, with whom one has no close relationship, and the important person to be courted.

Unimportant people aren't worth the princess's attention.

Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty royal family would inevitably be looked down upon.

The most likely outcome is that it will become a bargaining chip in a transaction.

No wonder Zhu Meichu would hide here.

Now that we've tested the waters enough...

Gu Hanyuan did not force him.

He casually changed the subject, saying:

"What brings Miss Ajiu to meet me?"

Zhu Meichu noticed that Gu Hanyuan did not continue the conversation about romantic relationships.

Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief.

They naturally ignored the awkward atmosphere from just now.

She smiled gracefully:

"Ah Jiu actually has something to ask of you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanyuan's smile gradually turned playful.

The last person to ask for a favor was Bingxue'er.

She was still feeling very upset.

Zhu Meichu actually offered herself up.

Gu Hanyuan asked, feigning curiosity:

"Miss Ajiu, you are a princess, yet you dare to beg me for favors...?"

He pretended to be completely unaware of Zhu Meichu's situation.

However, it was precisely this appearance that made Zhu Meichu lower her guard.

She explained helplessly:

"This place is still officially under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty cannot openly interfere here. That's why we had no choice but to ask for help from Young Master Gu."

Gu Hanyuan said leisurely:

"Then what does Miss Ajiu wish to ask for?"

Zhu Meichu pondered for a moment and said:

"Here's the situation. Jiao Gongli, the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang, is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and has secretly surrendered. He's recently run into trouble that he can't seem to resolve. If left unchecked, the outcome is uncertain."

A hint of interest flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

It wasn't that I was interested in Jiao Gongli.

It was his interest in his daughter, Jiao Wan'er.

Jiao Wan'er has a small role in "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood".
