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

Otherwise, ordinary people would never find this place.

Yuan Chengzhi found this place by chance while following his pet gorilla.

More accurately, he was able to obtain the opportunity left behind by Xia Xueyi only because of his protagonist aura.

Gu Hanyuan pointed to the cave entrance ahead and said:

"Xia Xueyi is inside."

Upon hearing this, He Hongyao's expression immediately became excited.

But there was also a hint of hesitation in his voice.

If this were before today...

She will definitely go in without hesitation.

But now, whenever I think of Gu Hanyuan beside me...

She was filled with conflicting emotions.

It took He Hongyao quite a while to solidify her resolve.

I must see Xia Xueyi again, no matter what.

You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die.

The two entered the cave.

What comes into view is a tomb made of sand and soil.

A wooden plaque is placed on the tomb, which reads "Tomb of Xia Xueyi, the Golden Snake Gentleman, erected by Yuan Chengzhi".

This is because Yuan Chengzhi did not have a connection with Wen Qingqing and brought her here.

Xia Xueyi's grave appears somewhat hastily constructed.

However, He Hongyao became agitated.

At that moment, she forgot about Gu Hanyuan beside her.

She also forgot what Gu Hanyuan had done to her.

Even the slight wavering in their feelings was thrown to the back of their minds at this moment.

She rushed to the grave and frantically dug at the sand with her bare hands.

He was shouting hysterically:

"I don't believe you! Xia Xueyi, you must be lying to me again!"

Her beautiful face was filled with madness, which was a pity.

Just then, He Hongyao's hands were grabbed.

Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Gu Hanyuan, who was stopping her.

He gritted his teeth and said:

Are you going to stop me too?

Gu Hanyuan shook his head and sighed softly:

"I just can't bear to see your hands ruined here."

He Hongyao sensed the heartache hidden in Gu Hanyuan's words.

My heart trembled violently.

His expression immediately calmed down.

She whispered, tears streaming down her face;

"I don't believe Xia Xueyi is dead."

"I'll help you."

Gu Hanyuan's gentle voice reached He Hongyao's ears.

She looked up in surprise.

What catches the eye is his usual gentle smile.

A warm feeling welled up in He Hongyao's heart.

She stared at Gu Hanyuan, lost in thought.

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, I thought:

"Why wasn't it Young Master Gu I met back then?"

Chapter 543: He Hongyao at Xia Xueyi's grave...

Gu Hanyuan simply waved his hand.

Several sword energies shot towards the tomb made of sand and soil.

In an instant, the grave mound exploded.

The sand and soil were instantly cleared away by the sword energy.

The remains of Xia Xueyi, who was buried underneath, were exposed.

More than ten years have passed.

The body had long since turned into bones.

He Hongyao immediately looked at the limbs of the skeleton.

There are scratches on my wrists and ankles.

Those were the marks left by He Hongyao when she broke Xia Xueyi's tendons and ligaments because she couldn't have him.

Even after turning into bones, they are still clearly visible.

He Hongyao immediately confirmed that the remains in front of her belonged to Xia Xueyi.

Her complex emotions made her expression seem like a mix of crying and laughing.

Then she saw a gold hairpin being bitten by the skull of the corpse.

He Hongyao seemed somewhat lost in thought.

She recognized the owner of the hairpin as Wen Yi.

Even in the moment of her death, Xia Xueyi clung tightly to the hairpin.

He Hongyao was overwhelmed with grief and indignation.

He murmured the scenes from back then:

"He said his fiancée was beautiful, gentle, and innocent, a hundred times better than me. He would say one thing, and I would whip him. Every time I whipped him, he would praise that wretched woman. By the end, he was covered in so much flesh that he couldn't find a single intact piece of skin, but he was still smiling and praising her nonstop."

Gu Hanyuan simply looked on indifferently upon hearing this.

Xia Xueyi was indeed deeply devoted to Wen Yi.

However, He Hongyao, who fell in love with him, sacrificed her innocence, cured his poison, and helped him steal the Golden Snake Treasures from the Poison Dragon Cave, never took it to heart.

Her efforts only resulted in Xia Xueyi abandoning her after initially taking advantage of her.

Intense resentment drove He Hongyao to madness with jealousy and filled her with bitterness.

There was a crazy gleam in his eyes.

He said in a hateful voice:

"Xia Xueyi, you want to be buried with her hairpin, but I won't let you have your way."

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the hairpin that was being held tightly in her hand.

He Hongyao used tremendous strength.

After a series of ear-piercing scraping sounds.

Jinchai had already been pulled out by He Hongyao.

Gu Hanyuan noticed with his sharp eyes that a thin thread tied to the hairpin had been pulled off.

His eyes flickered slightly, but he did not remind He Hongyao.

He Hongyao, clutching the gold hairpin, remained emotionally distraught.

Just now.

She suddenly turned around and glanced at Gu Hanyuan.

She remembered that Wen Yi had changed her mind and no longer belonged to Xia Xueyi.

However, to her surprise...

I didn't feel much pleasure from revenge.

The reason is that the person who received the warm gift was the very man in front of her who made her waver.

He never felt disgusted by his own ugly appearance.
