"It's my fault."

Chapter 523: Wen Qian: If it's my older sister, it's okay if we go together.

P.S.: I'm finally feeling better, after all that tiring. I'll try my best to resume updates.

Wen Qian was filled with self-blame and guilt.

In stark contrast was Gu Hanyuan, who had remained indifferent ever since the five elders of the Wen family appeared.

He comforted her gently:

“Miss Wen, I don’t blame you. They lied to you.”

Wen Qian was surprised that Gu Hanyuan would comfort her instead.

She couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and silently shed tears.

Still blaming herself, she cried out in a mournful voice:

"Young Master Gu... it's all my fault."

Gu Hanyuan smiled easily:

“Miss Wen, you, Wen Yi, and Qingqing probably embody the best of the entire Wen family. It is the dregs left behind that have allowed Wen Fangda and his ilk to reach such a shameless level. It is not worth blaming yourself for their deception.”

Wen Qian burst into laughter through her tears at Gu Hanyuan's quirky words.

She said, with a mixture of shyness and reproach:

"Young Master Gu, how come you're still in the mood to make me laugh?"

Gu Hanyuan glanced at the five elders of the Wen family, whose expressions were somewhat unpleasant.

He said calmly:

"Because they don't take me seriously."

Wen Fangda noticed that Gu Hanyuan appeared relaxed.

There was neither anger nor resentment, nor was there any exasperation.

For a moment, they were unsure whether Gu Hanyuan had been poisoned or not.

He thought to himself that with Gu Hanyuan's superb skills, if he hadn't been poisoned, he could have killed them all if he had even a little bit of strength left.

A glint of light flashed in Wen Fangda's eyes.

He smiled confidently:

"I was almost fooled by Young Master Gu. But Young Master Gu doesn't need to waste his energy stalling for time to expel the poison."

After much thought, he came to this conclusion.

He even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, out of caution, he obtained a potent poison from He Hongyao; otherwise, he might not have been able to deal with Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan smiled faintly:

"Oh? So confident? I am rather curious about this poison."

Wen Fangda smiled smugly:

"This is the Five Poisons Sect's signature poison—the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison."

There was a pause.

He exclaimed in surprise again:

"Young Master Gu is indeed a peerless master; he has managed to hold on until now despite being poisoned by the Golden Silkworm Gu."

Gu Hanyuan was somewhat surprised to hear this.

He had naturally heard of the infamous Golden Silkworm Gu poison.

During the Dragon Boat Festival in Miao areas, hundreds of insects are collected and placed in earthenware jars to kill each other.

A year later, only a golden, silkworm-like thing remained in Kaifeng.

If you feed it with golden leaves for a few more months, it will turn into a pile of golden dung, and the dung is the poison of the golden silkworm.

The chicken soup they had been given was poisoned with the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Gu Hanyuan had already learned of the Wen family elders' plan in advance, so naturally he wouldn't actually drink it.

Although he was immune to all poisons, he had no interest in deliberately drinking poison.

He had only pretended to drink it before smashing the bowl.

Gu Hanyuan was glad he hadn't drunk it.

Otherwise, even if you are immune to all poisons, you will still feel disgusted.

Now that he knew the five elders of the Wen family were using a highly potent poison like the Golden Silkworm Gu, he decided to act even more convincingly.

Control over the body using the "Myriad Phenomena Yin Yang Technique".

The simulated signs of poisoning were excellent.

His face began to turn pale, and even faintly revealed a hint of darkness.

Gu Hanyuan took a light breath and said:

"Golden Silkworm Gu Poison? That's quite a sum. But ordinary members of the Five Poisons Sect don't usually have Golden Silkworm Gu Poison. Could it have been obtained from the sect leader?"

Wen Fangda initially had some doubts.

At this moment, Gu Hanyuan's expression grew increasingly grim.

I finally felt relieved.

He saw that the situation was completely under control.

The smug smile on his face could no longer be hidden.

He said, as if to make sure Gu Hanyuan died knowing why:

"Although we are not the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, we are related to them. We got it from He Hongyao, the aunt of He Tieshou, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect."

Gu Hanyuan had anticipated this.

It was merely a way to get Wen Fangda to reveal He Hongyao's existence.

Seeing that the other party was being so cooperative, he took the opportunity to ask:

"So that's how it is. He Hongyao has fallen into your hands. But I'm very curious how you managed to persuade He Hongyao? After all, strictly speaking, He Hongyao has a deep-seated hatred for you."

Wen Fangda was currently immersed in a smug mood.

There was no intention to hide anything.

He laughed smugly:

"Xia Xueyi is indeed very charming. She not only stole the hearts of those two bitches, Wen Yi and Wen Qian, but even He Hongyao couldn't forget her old feelings. She just made up some lies to fool them."

A satisfied smile flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes upon hearing this.

as predicted.

Wen Qian, who was beside him, said angrily:

"You really lied to me! Young Master Gu is not my brother-in-law's enemy at all."

Wen Fangshan said in a deep voice:

"Women are so foolish. But don't worry, Wen Qian, a father wouldn't want to kill his own daughter with his own hands."

Wen Qian glared at Wen Fangshan with eyes full of hatred.

New and old grudges led her to completely sever her ties with Wen Fangshan.

He angrily said:

"Pah! Who's your daughter! I don't have a father as shameless as you!"

Wen Fangshan looked embarrassed.

He felt that Wen Yi and Wen Qian had both embarrassed him.

Wen Fangshan, already cold-hearted, said with icy eyes:

"Hmph! Then you can become a pair of doomed lovers with Gu Hanyuan!"

It's clear he's decided to give up on Wen Qian.

However, the phrase "a pair of doomed lovers" made Wen Qian feel complicated.

If it were before tonight...

Xia Xueyi was the only one in her heart.

But now, Gu Hanyuan has unknowingly taken a place in her heart.

Wen Qian unconsciously looked at Gu Hanyuan.

He hesitated and said:
