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

Gu Hanyuan's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Since you know that Gu is stalling for time, why are you still cooperating? You are nothing but shameless and stupid."

There was a pause.

He said coldly:

"I'm waiting for you to take the effects of the poison. I wonder what you're waiting for?"

The five elders of the Wen family exclaimed in surprise at the same time:

"Poisoning?"

Wen Fangda said with a grim expression:

"You poisoned us?"

Gu Hanyuan looked at them with the same eyes that looked at dead people.

"Fool, look outside the door."

The five elders of the Wen family turned around as if they had been electrocuted.

Sure enough, there was a figure outside the door in the darkness.

Looking from afar.

That slender figure clearly belonged to a woman.

Wen Fangda's pupils constricted.

Trembling with fear, he cried out:

"He Hongyao!"

The woman outside the door was He Hongyao.

Gu Hanyuan watched He Hongyao approach with great interest.

He was dressed in a shabby, worn-out black outfit.

Long, messy hair with black and white stripes.

His face was covered in scars.

She looked like an old beggar woman, extremely ugly and terrifying.

However, she still has a slender figure.

Even in her eyes and brows, one can still vaguely see the beauty she possessed before her disfigurement.

He Hongyao looked at the five elders of the Wen family with indifference.

Gu Hanyuan said mockingly:

"You released He Hongyao to gain her trust, didn't you?"

Wen Fangda was completely panicked at this point...

He said, his face darkening:

"We only released her pressure points. He Hongyao was clearly bound with ropes and was being guarded by Wen Zheng. How could she have escaped?"

Gu Hanyuan shook his head dismissively and said:

"How foolish! The Five Poisons Sect doesn't necessarily have to use their hands to kill people."

As soon as he finished speaking, the five elders of the Wen family fell to the ground and screamed in agony, rolling around on the ground in pain.

Those piercing screams reflected how much pain they were in.

It vividly illustrates what it means to be unable to live or die.

He Hongyao shifted her gaze away from the five elders of the Wen family.

When she saw Gu Hanyuan, her body instinctively trembled.

She was also a looks-oriented person when she was young.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen for Xia Xueyi at first sight and been deceived by him.

Now he sees Gu Hanyuan, who is even more handsome than Xia Xueyi.

I felt an immediate liking for them.

However, she quickly realized that she was no longer the naive little girl she once was.

She lowered her head, letting her messy hair cover her entire face.

He said in a hoarse voice:

"You pretty boy seem to know a lot about our Five Poisons Sect."

Gu Hanyuan smiled faintly:

“Miss He, my name is Gu Hanyuan, and I am not called ‘pretty boy’.”

He Hongyao was taken aback upon hearing this.

She hadn't heard anyone call her "Miss He" for many years.

Ever since he helped Xia Xueyi steal the Golden Snake Treasures.

She was punished by being bitten by ten thousand snakes, which disfigured her, and she was also forced to beg.

Everyone who has met her has a look of disgust towards her.

They avoided her as if she were a plague.

No one had ever spoken to her with such a calm attitude.

He Hongyao subconsciously looked up at Gu Hanyuan.

He looked indifferent.

There wasn't a trace of disgust in his eyes.

Despite her surprise, He Hongyao's emotions calmed down considerably.

Surprisingly, he even had the mind to make a joke:

"With such good looks, isn't he just a pretty boy?"

Gu Hanyuan asked with a light laugh:

"How does it compare to Xia Xueyi?"

He Hongyao was shocked upon hearing this, her eyes filled with a complex and unreadable expression.

She took a deep breath.

He sighed and said:

He is not as good as you, but I love him.

This may be the first time in many years that He Hongyao has objectively viewed matters related to Xia Xueyi.

It was Gu Hanyuan's uniqueness that caused her to change.

The phrase "But I love him" reveals a love tinged with hate, a complex web of grudges and resentments.

Chapter 535: He Hongyao, feeling lost and dejected

He Hongyao asked curiously:

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

There was another layer of meaning in her words.

Don't you find my ugly appearance repulsive?

Gu Hanyuan simply smiled faintly upon hearing this:

"Why be afraid?"

He Hongyao said with a strange expression:

"Even if you weren't poisoned before, I just released the Golden Silkworm Gu poison. You should be poisoned by now. Aren't you afraid I won't give you the antidote?"

That's what she said.

However, she had already made up her mind to give Gu Hanyuan the antidote.

If the only man in all these years who spoke to her peacefully, and who was so handsome, were to die like this...

She subconsciously felt a sense of regret.

Gu Hanyuan chuckled softly.

The paleness and wisps of black on his face immediately faded away.

He put his arm around Wen Qian and stood up.

He said casually:

"I forgot to mention, Gu's internal energy makes him immune to all poisons."
