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

Whether it was Li Yuanzhi's previous "killing the husband and stealing the wife" theory, or Gu Hanyuan's consistent indifference towards Wen Tailai, it all made a difference.

All of this made her suspect that Gu Hanyuan might not care about Wen Tailai's life or death.

Luo Bing suddenly felt a little guilty.

Gu Hanyuan watched Luo Bing's reaction, a subtle, amused smile playing on his lips.

Chapter 634: Wu Xingyun: Yun'er also wants to protect Master, and wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with Master.

Gu Hanyuan was naturally not so kind as to actually save Wen Tailai.

He led Wen Tailai into a guest room and casually took out a few silver needles to insert into his skin.

Wen Tailai's life was saved immediately.

However, it was only a matter of saving his life.

His injuries were far from minor; it was truly a miracle that he had survived until now, after being struck by Ao Bai's full-force attack.

His right arm, which he used to exchange punches with Ao Bai, was broken and nearly crippled.

Many of his meridians were shattered by Ao Bai's energy; even if he survived, he would be no different from a cripple.

Such injuries would have killed a normal person long ago.

Even Gu Hanyuan's deliberate delay in providing assistance until now was because he had the intention of taking the widow into his lap.

No wonder Wen Tailai in "The Book and the Sword" is practically half a protagonist; he's got an extraordinary life.

However, while widows are desirable, wives with a dying, disabled husband are no less so.

Thinking this, Gu Hanyuan gave Wen Tailai a few more acupuncture needles.

His central nervous system was temporarily severed, and he will not be able to regain consciousness for a short period of time.

Gu Hanyuan wiped his hands with a towel and said jokingly:

"Has Yun'er seen enough?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Xingyun's petite figure appeared in the shadows in the corner.

Wu Xingyun curled his lip and said:

"I thought you would just kill him outright, Master."

Gu Hanyuan said leisurely:

"Since Wen Tailai is so lucky to have survived until now, there's no point in killing him again."

Wu Xingyun narrowed his eyes and said in an enigmatic tone:

"Tsk, Master clearly has his eye on someone else's wife, yet he says it so grandly. If you ask me, why not just move her over and throw her on the bed?"

Having followed Gu Hanyuan for so long, Wu Xingyun had long noticed that he seemed particularly interested in married women.

And stealing their bodies isn't enough; they also steal their hearts.

Li Qiu, Li Qingluo, and Gan Baobao are all like this.

Wu Xingyun couldn't help but feel jealous.

A subtle smile curved at the corners of Gu Hanyuan's lips.

She keenly noticed that Wu Xingyun's tone, which was feigned contempt and jealousy, was actually trembling slightly.

He beckoned gently with his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xingyun immediately lost his composure.

With her lips pursed, two streams of tears welled up in her eyes.

She cried out "Master!" and threw herself into Gu Hanyuan's arms.

Amidst heart-wrenching cries, Gu Hanyuan's clothes were instantly soaked through.

Wu Xingyun said, sobbing uncontrollably:

"Master, Yun'er almost never saw you again!"

Even now, Wu Xingyun is still filled with lingering fear.

She almost caused Gu Hanyuan's death.

Wu Xingyun ultimately underestimated the power of the world's will and overestimated his own strength.

If it weren't for Gu Hanyuan's hints and reminders, she wouldn't have been able to regain her senses in the face of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's suppression, completely unprepared.

There is a huge gap in strength between Wu Xingyun and the divided soul of Jiutian Xuannv, and it is even possible that he could be directly possessed.

Thanks to Gu Hanyuan's quick thinking in Qianqing Palace, he used Wu Xingyun's body to leave a psychological flaw in the soul of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

This caused the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to focus all her attention on Gu Hanyuan, causing her to lose her vigilance towards Wu Xingyun, thus giving her the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

If it weren't for Gu Hanyuan's superior strategy...

The final result was that Gu Hanyuan was killed by Wu Xingyun, who was controlled by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. Wu Xingyun was either possessed or, after regaining consciousness, was driven to despair by the reality of killing his lover with his own hands and committed suicide out of love.

You can imagine the lingering fear in Wu Xingyun's heart; the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

The previous teasing and jealousy were just a pretense of composure.

At this moment, Wu Xingyun showed none of the imposing presence of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny or the peerless goddess-like appearance.

She was just a little girl who accidentally caused trouble and broke down in tears because of guilt, self-blame, and lingering fear.

Wu Xingyun's eyes were bloodshot, and her delicate, jade-like face was streaked with tears, making her look quite disheveled and unsightly.

However, in Gu Hanyuan's eyes, it was the most beautiful appearance.

Hearing that hoarse, choked voice, Gu Hanyuan felt a pang of heartache.

He gently wiped away the tears from her face.

He gently kissed the cinnabar mark between her brows and softly comforted her:

"Silly girl, I'm not that easy to die."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xingyun's emotions finally calmed down a bit, but he still choked with self-reproach as he said:

"But......"

"There's no 'but,' it's not your fault. Besides, I am your master, Yun'er, and I will always protect you and forgive you no matter what."

Gu Hanyuan held Wu Xingyun's petite body in his arms as if she were a child, his voice becoming even gentler.

He carried Wu Xingyun back to his bedroom.

After all, it was quite unsettling to have a comatose Wen Tailai lying next to you.

With his unparalleled lightness skill, he naturally did not disturb anyone during this time.

Wu Xingyun wrapped his arms naturally around Gu Hanyuan's neck.

She was deeply moved by Gu Hanyuan's gentle words.

Her bright, starry eyes were filled with deep affection.

She sniffled rather cutely, and mumbled, still a little choked up:

"But Yun'er also wants to protect Master and stand shoulder to shoulder with Master."

Gu Hanyuan gently stroked Wu Xingyun's pretty face and said softly:

"Yun'er is exceptionally talented; it's only a matter of time before she catches up with me..."

Wu Xingyun's talent, ever since she broke free from the shackles of her own destiny, has been accumulating and bursting forth like a geyser.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to break through to the level of a terrestrial immortal in just a few months.

As for catching up with Gu Hanyuan, that would be nothing but consolation.

Although Gu Hanyuan's internal energy cultivation is currently still at the peak of the Grandmaster level.

However, he has already gone further and further down the path of cultivating immortality.

According to the cultivation theory, Gu Hanyuan has now passed the Qi Refining stage and is currently in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Wu Xingyun was still struggling in the Qi Refining stage, and without a special opportunity, it would be difficult for him to catch up with Gu Hanyuan, who had the help of the system.

Just like the great battle in the palace before the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden appeared.

Although Gu Hanyuan was suppressed by the Qing Kingdom's dragon vein, his internal energy flow was sluggish and his strength was greatly reduced.

However, if he uses spiritual power to unleash the "Sword Control Technique," Wu Xingyun, who is controlled by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, will still be defeated instantly.

It can be said that Gu Hanyuan's strength is completely different when he uses internal force and when he uses spiritual force.

Wu Xingyun, however, said somewhat discouragedly:

"But I only learned the 'Twenty-Three Swords of Annihilation of Heaven and Earth' thanks to my master's scheme against the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden."

Gu Hanyuan smiled calmly:

“Silly girl, you cultivate the path of the sword with emotions, so it is naturally difficult for you to enter the path of the sword without emotions. In fact, this is a rare opportunity for you.”

Both the compassionate and the ruthless swordsmanship can reach extremely high levels by going to their extremes.
