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

Gu Hanyuan certainly wouldn't refuse, since he had at least healed their injuries.

"Brother Gu, I will come to see you after Grandpa and Uncle Liu are settled."

Seeing that their separation was imminent, Qu Feiyan snuggled into Gu Hanyuan's arms, reluctant to part.

Gu Hanyuan gently stroked Qu Feiyan's hair, comforting her:

"Leaving the Song Kingdom was the right choice. There's no need to rush. Focus on your training; you can help me in the future."

Gu Hanyuan has already handed over the simplified versions of the "Nine Yin Manual" and the "Yin Yang Technique" to Qu Feiyan.

"Brother Gu, come with me for a moment."

Qu Feiyan worried that if too much time passed, Gu Hanyuan, who was surrounded by beautiful women, would forget about her.

With a quick glance, she pulled Gu Hanyuan to a secluded corner.

Even Gu Hanyuan found it difficult to fathom the thoughts of the quirky and clever Qu Feiyan.

"Brother Gu, don't forget me."

Qu Feiyan looked up at Gu Hanyuan.

"Hiss! Feifei, you don't have to do that."

“Brother Gu, I don’t care about anything for you.”

Qu Feiyan came from the Sun Moon Sect, and had learned a lot of things from all walks of life.

Ren Yingying hid in the shadows, intending to see what they were talking about, but she never expected to witness such a shocking scene.

Her mother died early, so she never received any education in this area.

Ren Yingying held a revered position within the Sun Moon Cult, and no one dared to offend her ears.

In this respect, she is much simpler than Qu Feiyan.

"Feifei, you don't need to force yourself."

While Qu Feiyan was washing up, Gu Hanyuan gently stroked her hair with tenderness.

"It's not forced at all."

Qu Feiyan beamed a bright smile, ran back to Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, clasped her hands to her mouth, and shouted:

"Brother Gu, I'm leaving now. I'll marry you when I'm a little older!"

As Gu Hanyuan watched Qu Feiyan leave with Liu and Qu, he felt a rare sense of loneliness.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, the quirky and clever Qu Feiyan had certainly given him a lot of different feelings.

Before leaving, he sent a telepathic location to Ren Yingying.

With this matter settled, Gu Hanyuan returned to Hengyang City.

As for Ren Yingying, who was hiding in the shadows with a look of utter disbelief on her face, it wasn't the right time to get close to her yet.

Upon returning to the Liu residence, most of the martial arts figures had already dispersed.

Lin Pingzhi is currently becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes revealed amusement. He guessed that it was because Lao Yue was worried that Lin Pingzhi would be taken away by him, so he lost his composure and decided to make it a fait accompli.

Huang Rong was puzzled when Gu Hanyuan returned, because he had been gone for so long.

Gu Hanyuan didn't explain to her, but apologized to Lin Pingzhi:

“Young Master Lin, Yu Canghai is short in stature and I don’t know where he has gone. I have not been able to find him.”

Although Lin Pingzhi felt somewhat regretful, he was still very grateful to Gu Hanyuan because Gu was the first person to help him.

"Young Master Gu, it's alright. Once I've mastered my martial arts, I will definitely kill Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng."

Lin Pingzhi's face was full of hatred.

Not only Yu Canghai, but also Mu Gaofeng.

His parents still died at the hands of Mu Gaofeng.

"Young Master Lin, with your current martial arts skills, it's nothing short of a pipe dream to defeat Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng. As far as I know, the martial arts of the Huashan Qi Sect become more refined and powerful as one progresses. It's probably difficult to achieve anything in a short time."

After Gu Hanyuan finished speaking, he glanced at Yue Buqun.

Sure enough, he nodded in agreement.

Lin Pingzhi's expression was grim. He carried a deep-seated hatred and longed for revenge. Seeing Gu Hanyuan's words, he knew Gu must have a way, so he immediately pleaded:

"I would be grateful if Young Master Gu could offer some guidance."

Looking at the eager Lin Pingzhi, Gu Hanyuan felt he should give him a push, otherwise, given Lao Yue's hesitant and indecisive nature, it would take who knows how long to get the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual".

“Young Master Lin, I have also heard of the ‘Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.’ The ‘Evil-Repelling Sword Technique’ used by Lord Yuantu back then was ghostly and incredibly fast. I see that your internal energy is mediocre, and the power of your ‘Evil-Repelling Sword Technique’ is even less than that of some third-rate sects. Therefore, I’m afraid the real ‘Evil-Repelling Sword Manual’ is an internal energy cultivation method that increases sword speed. If we could obtain it, it should greatly enhance the power of the ‘Evil-Repelling Sword Technique’.”

Upon hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, both Lin Pingzhi and Yue Buqun's eyes flickered, clearly indicating that they agreed with his judgment.

"Now that you have become Master Yue's disciple, let him escort you back to Fuzhou. Perhaps you can find something there."

Yue Buqun was greatly surprised, never expecting that Gu Hanyuan would actually help him.

They even suspected that Gu Hanyuan might have some ulterior motives.

However, Yue Buqun had witnessed Gu Hanyuan's martial arts skills and did not believe that he needed to pursue the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual".

Yue Buqun subconsciously glanced back at Yue Lingshan, thinking: Could it be because of Lingshan?

After all, once Lin Ping is taken in, the Huashan Sect will definitely become the target of everyone's criticism. If he cannot improve his strength as soon as possible, he may implicate the Huashan Sect.

Sure enough, Gu Hanyuan then said:

"Young Master Lin, you are now the target of everyone's hatred. Rather than implicating the Huashan Sect in your pursuit of revenge, you would be better off obtaining the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual as soon as possible and turning the covetousness of others into your own strength. A three-year-old child carrying gold through a bustling market will naturally attract attention, but an adult will not."

...... 0 ...

Lin Pingzhi received some information from his parents that if Yue Buqun could escort him for a while, going back to see her as soon as possible would indeed be the best choice.

"Thank you, Young Master Gu, for your guidance."

Lin Pingzhi wasn't worried at all that Gu Hanyuan was saying these things because he coveted his family's "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual".

Both Gu Hanyuan's martial arts skills and his actions have earned him a great deal of prestige.

That's the benefit of fame.

Even Lin Pingzhi's being deceived by Yue Buqun was influenced by the reputation of "Gentleman Sword".

Otherwise, why would Lin Pingzhi, who had experienced the coldness of human relationships and the blood feud of his parents, seem so unguarded and easily deceived?

Don't say it's because of Yue Lingshan, otherwise he wouldn't have castrated himself to practice swordsmanship without hesitation after obtaining the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual".

Only Huang Rong, who had been keeping a close eye on Gu Hanyuan, sensed something was amiss.

Old Yue still had many concerns. Even with Gu Hanyuan's help, he still said he needed to return to Mount Hua to discuss the matter further.

Afterwards, Yue Lingshan and Gu Hanyuan bid each other a reluctant farewell.

She wasn't as bold as Qu Feiyan; she simply expressed her hope that Gu Hanyuan would visit her at Mount Hua when he had time.

Gu Hanyuan was scrutinized by Ning Zhongze for a long time, but in the end, she still gave him a slight smile, indicating her approval.

Looking at Ning Zhongze's beautiful smiling face, he only hoped that Lao Yue could hurry up and learn the third part of the "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique".

Chapter 114: Huang Rong spends another sleepless night.

Dai remained as enthusiastic as ever towards Gu Hanyuan, praising his character and martial arts skills, and repeatedly expressing his hope that Gu Hanyuan would come to visit.

Sheng shyly expressed her hope that Gu Hanyuan would visit her.

Afterwards, the "Four Wonders of the South" left with Sheng.

The Hengshan Sect left very early, and it was clear that Abbess Dingyi did not want her disciples to have any further contact with Gu Hanyuan.

As her skirts fell away, Huang Rong swayed gracefully before Gu Hanyuan.

"Young Master Gu, Elder Chen of the Northern Beggars' Clan has invited me to Wuxi to be a witness. Would you be willing to come with us?"

Huang Rong already knew that the elders of the Northern Beggars' Clan wanted to remove Qiao Feng from his position as leader.

Although the specific reasons are unknown, this does not mean that Huang Rong supported the other party in doing so.

The Northern Beggars' Clan owes its current illustrious reputation almost entirely to Qiao Feng.

Moreover, Qiao Feng has always been supportive of Xiangyang's defenses and has provided assistance on numerous occasions.

Huang Rong did not want Qiao Feng to be dismissed, but she was alone and powerless, and it was difficult for her to make any difference.

As for going back to Xiangyang to find Guo Jing and go to Wuxi together, that's even more impossible.

Not only was the travel time insufficient, but also because one of Guo Jing and Huang Rong had to remain in Xiangyang City unless there were special circumstances, just in case.

After what happened last night, Huang Rong should have distanced herself from Gu Hanyuan.

But now Huang Rong has no choice but to invite Gu Hanyuan to accompany her on another trip to Wuxi, since at least his martial arts skills are trustworthy.

"Wuxi? What kind of testimony are you giving?"

Gu Hanyuan had already guessed that it might be related to Qiao Feng's Xingzilin incident, and he asked the question knowingly.
