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

There's always a feeling that I'm being seen through.

Hearing this, he asked in surprise:

"Only his martial arts skills are good? Ah Jiu has heard that Yuan Chengzhi has a good reputation and has done a lot of good deeds since he came down from the mountain."

Gu Hanyuan didn't take Zhu Meichu's praise of Yuan Chengzhi to heart.

The two have never met.

It would be easy to change Zhu Meichu's opinion of Yuan Chengzhi.

He said mockingly:

"These are just trivial matters. Yuan Chengzhi lacks courage and boldness, and is unlikely to achieve great things. Even if he wants to do something big, it's mostly just a momentary impulse. Once he calms down, he will hesitate and back down."

simply put.

Yuan Chengzhi was a qualified chivalrous figure in the martial arts world.

However, it didn't mean much to Zhu Meichu.

Therefore, she sighed regretfully:

"Pity."

Gu Hanyuan chuckled and reminded him:

"Miss Ajiu, do you perhaps want to win him over? Don't forget that your father is his father's killer."

Zhu Meichu was stunned upon hearing this and said:

“Young Master Gu is right, it is Ajiu who is being delusional.”

The two then stopped discussing business.

They chatted idly while enjoying the scenery along the river.

Wen Qingqing was comforted by Gu Hanyuan.

They also temporarily set aside their hostility towards Zhu Meichu.

He would occasionally chime in with a few words, joining the conversation.

Gu Hanyuan deliberately showed off.

Zhu Meichu exclaimed in amazement:

"It is said that Young Master Gu is a genius, proficient in astronomy, geography, poetry and prose, even more so than martial arts. Indeed, his reputation is well-deserved."

Zhu Meichu truly lived up to her royal lineage.

His knowledge and experience are unmatched by ordinary people.

If someone lacks sufficient knowledge, they simply cannot understand the conversation between the two.

For example, Wen Qingqing, who is gradually falling behind in the depth of conversations.

At this point, I was a little confused.

But that doesn't stop her from worshipping.

Her beautiful eyes shone brightly.

They couldn't help but press themselves even closer.

Chapter 503: Jiao Wan'er: Why did you come into my boudoir?

P.S.: As expected, I couldn't avoid it and got caught in the crossfire. I can only try my best to keep updating.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered slightly.

He rarely reveals this to others.

No one knows Huang Rong better than her.

Clearly, Huang Rong used the popularity generated by the Western Xia's marriage proposal to further spread Gu Hanyuan's reputation.

This also conveniently covers up the suspicion that Gu Hanyuan was almost predetermined to be the winner.

Huang Rong's thoughtful gesture.

Gu Hanyuan's gaze softened slightly.

Zhu Meichu has been keeping an eye on Gu Hanyuan.

Therefore, the change was discovered first.

For some reason, those deep, dark eyes softened.

She had a gut feeling that Gu Hanyuan was recalling someone at that moment.

And the emotional changes are extremely realistic.

He immediately became quite curious about the person who could have such a profound impact on Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan was unaware of Zhu Meichu's thoughts.

Perhaps it was because of his connection to Huang Rong.

For a moment, I felt a little disheartened.

He no longer had the desire to put on a show for Zhu Meichu.

He said, feigning regret:

"It's getting late, so I won't disturb Miss Ajiu's rest any longer."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Meichu subconsciously looked out of the boat.

The flower boats that were originally everywhere had mostly left.

There were very few lights on.

She then realized that the two of them had indeed been talking for quite a while.

She had never talked to anyone so easily before.

He bid farewell to Gu Hanyuan.

For a moment, I felt reluctant to leave.

This feeling of reluctance made her heart tremble slightly.

She subconsciously avoided Gu Hanyuan's gentle gaze.

She almost couldn't maintain her dignified and elegant demeanor.

He said in a slightly complicated tone:

"I am deeply honored to have a long talk with Young Master Gu tonight."

Gu Hanyuan said meaningfully:

"Miss Ajiu, please remember your payment. If you need anything, feel free to rely on me. Farewell."

After saying that, he put his arm around Wen Qingqing's waist.

With a leap, he jumped into the night.

Zhu Meichu was in a daze.

When they looked again, the two figures had disappeared.

Zhu Meichu stood silently at the bow of the boat.

The river breeze lifted her skirt, which clung to her slender, delicate body.

She appeared even more delicate and frail, looking pitiful.

Zhu Meichu murmured to herself:

"Young Master Gu, can Ajiu really rely on you?"

She understood the meaning behind Gu Hanyuan's words.

She understood the reward Gu Hanyuan was demanding.

But she had no choice in the matter.

The freedom we enjoy now is only temporary.

There will always come a day when we have to face our own destiny.

Her beautiful eyes seemed somewhat lost in thought.

She stared blankly in the direction Gu Hanyuan had left, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Wen Qingqing really liked the feeling of Gu Hanyuan taking her along.

Whether it's "flying on a sword" or light-footed skills.

She was captivated by that feeling of freedom and speed.

Feeling the heat emanating from those around me.

Qiu's beautiful eyes gradually became misty.
