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

I'll tell you when we get on the road.

Huang Rong remained tight-lipped about it, but Qiao Feng being dismissed by the elders was no small matter.

"Since Madam Guo has extended an invitation, I naturally have no reason to refuse."

Gu Hanyuan agreed readily.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan agreed so readily, Huang Rong felt a little awkward.

Seeing how he made Guo Fu smile with just a few words, he sighed silently.

Because it was getting late, and at the Liu family's warm invitation, the three of them had no choice but to stay overnight before setting off for Wuxi.

Unable to fall asleep at night, Huang Rong found herself in Gu Hanyuan's courtyard once again, almost as if possessed.

She made up many excuses for herself, such as wanting to drink "Warm Jade Spring Cotton" again.

Because she noticed that her skin was indeed more moisturized and firmer than before.

Or perhaps she wanted to clarify things between the two of them, hoping they could maintain a distance in the future, and that Gu Hanyuan would treat Guo Fu well.

To her great surprise, she did not see Gu Hanyuan drinking in the courtyard.

Huang Rong had made various mental preparations and contingency plans before coming, but the option of not being able to meet Gu Hanyuan was not one of them.

Huang Rong, who was quite surprised, became curious and wondered: Could it be that she really went to sleep?

She planned to go to Gu Hanyuan's room to see if he had gone out.

Halfway there, she froze, and a blush crept onto her face.

Huang Rong recognized Liu Jing's voice and could even understand her intention to repay the debt of gratitude, but she still couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Gu Hanyuan not only stole her daughter Guo Fu's heart, but last night, although it was just their foreheads, it was still considered a more intimate contact.

Tonight, he didn't even prepare "warm jade spring cotton" for himself, and instead... with Liu Jing...

Huang Rong originally intended to leave directly, but as the noise inside the room gradually grew louder, she couldn't move her feet.

Since Huang Rong and Guo Jing arrived in Xiangyang City from Peach Blossom Island, they have been working tirelessly every day.

Moreover, Guo Jing was always busy with matters concerning Xiangyang City until late at night, and the two had not been intimate for a long time.

Huang Rong, in her mid-thirties, could control her emotions psychologically, but she could not control her physical loneliness.

Therefore, upon first hearing such a noise, it's easy to be momentarily distracted.

It wasn't until the moon was high in the sky that Huang Rong, her face beaming, hurriedly ran back.

What she was really thinking was that Guo Fu absolutely could not be married off to Gu Hanyuan, otherwise their wedding night would definitely be ruined.

Even she herself felt a chill run down her spine, thinking that Gu Hanyuan was too unkind to women.

Back in her room, Huang Rong bit her lower lip, and another sleepless night followed.

Gu Hanyuan looked at the exhausted Liu Jing and smiled with satisfaction.

It wasn't because of Liu Jing, but because he had already noticed Huang Rong and knew that she had been eavesdropping for quite some time.

Fortunately, Liu Jing had already taught Huang Rong the "Yin Chapter" of the "Yin-Yang Technique" before she came to find her; otherwise, how could she have been so shocked?

After tonight, Huang Rong will definitely start overthinking again.

With tears streaming down her face, Liu Jing gazed at Gu Hanyuan's handsome face, a face she could never tire of looking at, and felt a surge of happiness in her heart...

"Brother Gu, thank you. I have no regrets."

She knew very well that she could never compare to Guo Fu and the other women, and only wanted to leave behind a memory for herself to remember.

"Jing'er, don't underestimate yourself. Practice the secret manual I gave you well, and you will have a place behind me in the future."

Although Gu Hanyuan didn't really care about Liu Jing's existence, she had given herself to him, so he still had to comfort her.

Moreover, if Liu Jing could master the simplified version of the "Nine Yin Manual," take control of the crumbling Hengshan Sect, and then use the Hengshan Sect as a springboard to control the Five Mountains Sword Sects, it would still be somewhat effective.

Sure enough, hope reappeared in Liu Jing's eyes after hearing Gu Hanyuan's words. She was simple-minded and didn't ask for much.

Gu Hanyuan gave her some instructions on what he hoped she would do next.

As for Liu Zhengfeng's whereabouts, Liu Jing had already been informed, otherwise she wouldn't have impulsively come to repay the debt of gratitude.

He also sent Liu Jing a telepathic location.

The next morning, Gu Hanyuan and Huang Rong boarded the carriage prepared by the Liu family.

"Madam Guo, did you not sleep well again? You look very tired."

Gu Hanyuan suppressed a laugh and asked with feigned concern, knowing full well the answer.

Upon hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, Huang Rong couldn't help but roll her eyes coquettishly.

I thought to myself: Who do you think is to blame? I haven't had a good night's sleep since I arrived at Hengshan 0.3.

After asking Huang Rong a few words of concern, Guo Fu carelessly sidled up with Gu Hanyuan again.

Huang Rong raised an eyebrow. After what happened last night, she was even more reluctant to let Guo Fu have any contact with Gu Hanyuan, fearing that she might accidentally reveal something one day.

So she made many excuses to pull Guo Fu to her side and chat with her about things that were actually not very meaningful.

Gu Hanyuan shrugged and didn't seem to care.

While driving the carriage, he took out the "Swordsman" score and the zither that Liu Jing had prepared for him, and tried to play the "Swordsman" tune.

After spending 1700 villain points to upgrade his piano playing skill to mastery, he found that he was actually having some difficulty playing.

It took another 4000 villain points to upgrade to the minor mastery level before I could play the "Swordsman Song" completely.

Unfortunately, Gu Hanyuan could only play the piano solo, which still lacked a certain feeling.

Chapter 115: A Duet of Qin and Xiao with Huang Rong

The rhythm of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is fast and distinct, with a melodious and upbeat tune that is both exhilarating and unforgettable. Even when played as a solo, it evokes a sense of carefree joy amidst the vastness of the world.

Guo Fu couldn't take her eyes off Gu Hanyuan as he played the instrument with such flair.

Huang Rong was also attracted by the "Swordsman Song".

Huang Yaoshi was a learned man, proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Under his influence, Huang Rong developed a high level of musical appreciation and could distinguish the quality of the "Swordsman" melody.

Even she was captivated by it at that moment.

The song is finished.

Guo Fu blinked her big eyes, and asked, still somewhat unsatisfied:

"Brother Gu, what tune is this?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled at the charming Guo Fu:

"'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer's Song'"

At the same time, noticing the doubt in Huang Rong's eyes, he added a sentence.

"Liu Zhengfeng gave it to me."

"Liu Zhengfeng? You went to rescue him earlier?"

Huang Rong suddenly realized why Gu Hanyuan had been gone for so long; he had gone to rescue Liu Zhengfeng.

"To save a person, one must see them through to the end; to see a Buddha off, one must see him off to the Western Paradise."

Gu Hanyuan said against his will that he didn't care about Liu Zhengfeng at all, and only went to Qu Feiyan.

Guo Fu looked on with admiration, feeling that Gu Hanyuan was a great hero in her eyes.

"The news of Fei Bin's death has spread. Did you kill him?"

Huang Rong realized she shouldn't have asked the question, since it was a secret, and if it were exposed, the Songshan Sect would definitely not let Gu Hanyuan off the hook.

However, she did not expect that Gu Hanyuan had no intention of hiding anything.

"Yes, I killed him. Fei Bin is cruel and bloodthirsty, so I naturally wouldn't let him go if I had the chance."

Huang Rong was somewhat surprised by Gu Hanyuan's frankness, thinking that Gu Hanyuan might just be stubborn but soft-hearted, and in fact, he was the most upright and kind person.

If he didn't have those thoughts, marrying Guo Fu to him would indeed be the best choice.

Especially when she saw the trusting look in his eyes, she felt a little flustered.

Feeling guilty, she could only change the subject:

"'The Song of the Smiling, Proud Wanderer' is indeed beautiful, but I feel that something is not quite right."

Gu Hanyuan smiled and explained to Huang Rong:

“‘The Smiling, Proud Wanderer’ is a duet of qin and xiao. It would be out of harmony if I were to play the qin solo.”

Guo Fu, who had been listening to Gu Hanyuan's righteous words, was already deeply impressed. Now, hearing him say that they could play "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" together, she couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Gu, I'd like to learn too, is that okay?"

"Of course, I'll teach you."

Gu Hanyuan had no objection to this. Traveling was boring, and it would be perfect to have a pretty and charming girl accompany him to practice music.

He then took out a jade flute and began to teach Guo Fu little by little.
