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

All they saw was a white shadow flash by.

Gu Hanyuan had already blocked Qiu Du's path before he could succeed.

The old man with the secrets of the heavens put away his pipe with a glint in his eyes.

Sun Xiaohong stared blankly at the seemingly incredibly tall figure in front of her, her heart pounding.

Qiu Du seemed to have just come to his senses and staggered back two steps.

He stammered and tried to explain:

"...Young Master Gu, I don't know why either..."

Gu Hanyuan interrupted in a deep voice:

"I know there are many heretics and evil people among you. Since you've come here today for the Plum Blossom Thief, I won't bother with you. But that doesn't mean I'll let you run rampant under my nose!"

She cried out urgently:

"Young Master Gu, please show mercy. I will certainly discipline this unfilial disciple properly when I return!"

"late."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of sword energy shot into Qiu Du's brow, killing him instantly.

Yi cried as she witnessed her son's tragic death; her pale, bluish pupils widened in shock.

He couldn't help but raise his "Azure Demon Hand" and roared:

"you!"

Gu Hanyuan glanced at him coldly and said:

"What? You want to go down and keep him company?"

Yi immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

After calming down, I lost all courage.

After all, a son can be born again if he dies, but if you die, you have nothing left.

He said bitterly:

"I don't dare."

As he spoke, he respectfully bowed to Gu Hanyuan.

However, this did not change his fate.

Gu Hanyuan said calmly:

"It's a pity that Mr. Gu doesn't like to leave behind any troubles. A family should always be together."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand and several more sharp sword energies shot towards Yi Ku.

Yi cried out, her eyes wide, begging for mercy:

"Young Master Gu, spare my life!"

However, his pleas for mercy had no effect.

The "Azure Demon Hand" was shattered into pieces by the sword energy attack, and several bloody holes appeared on his body. He fell to the ground and died.

With Gu Hanyuan's current strength, he could easily kill a grandmaster of this level.

However, this once again shocked the crowd who had not yet left.

With the cultivation of a Grandmaster and ranking ninth on the "Weapon Ranking," Yi Ku, the "Azure Demon Hand" who had previously forced Li Xunhuan, who was unable to throw his flying knives, into a very sorry state, died just like that, without any fanfare.

His death was no different from that of You Longsheng and Qiu Du.

It was all because he offended Gu Hanyuan.

Chapter 687: Leaving Sun Xiaohong Behind

Everyone felt Gu Hanyuan's terrifying aura once again, and immediately became trembling with fear.

Of course, there are also people whose emotions are completely different from those of the general public.

Sun Xiaohong's heart pounded, and a blush rose on her pretty face.

She suddenly understood why the most popular story throughout history is the one where the hero saves the damsel in distress.

Not only men like it, but women like it even more.

At that moment, she felt the emotions of the female protagonists in those stories.

A strong sense of security from being protected.

What happened just now wasn't really a crisis, since her grandfather, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, was right behind her.

But that didn't stop her from being moved by it.

Sun Xiaohong, who always dressed simply to make herself inconspicuous, had never encountered such a situation before.

Even if she occasionally got into trouble in the past, she didn't even need the Heavenly Mystery Elder to take action; she could resolve it with her intelligence.

So this is the first time I've ever been protected by someone.

The disappointment and sense of loss that had arisen in my heart because Gu Hanyuan and Lin Shiyin were hooking up instantly dissipated.

He even made excuses for Gu Hanyuan on his own.

They believed that Lin Shiyin was captivated by his charm and actively seduced him.

In the story of Li Xunhuan, Long Xiaoyun, and Lin Shiyin.

Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun's reputations were naturally damaged, but Lin Shiyin wasn't much better off.

Regardless of the truth, Lin Shiyin was first engaged to Li Xunhuan, but then married Long Xiaoyun.

Even with Li Xunhuan's concession as a factor, it's hard not to think she was promiscuous.

Normally, out of respect for her idol Li Xunhuan, Sun Xiaohong would silently defend Lin Shiyin.

However, at this point, the blame was completely shifted onto Lin Shiyin.

This also diminished Li Xunhuan's status and image in Sun Xiaohong's mind.

After all, Li Xunhuan, who was completely infatuated with a promiscuous woman like Lin Shiyin, had no heroic image whatsoever.

Gu Hanyuan had no idea what Sun Xiaohong had imagined.

But looking at her shining eyes, I knew I had succeeded.

His use of the "soul-shifting technique" on Qiu Du was not in vain.

Those whose strength is too far apart and whose minds are wavering have no chance of being controlled by his "Soul Transfer Technique".

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently and domineeringly:

"You all probably know a thing or two about Gu's temperament. Putting aside the capture of the Plum Blossom Thief, if Gu finds out that anyone is bullying the good and doing evil, don't blame Gu for cleaning up the pests."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and those evil masters were especially terrified.

However, Gu Hanyuan's seemingly righteous words concealed a flaw: "Catch the Plum Blossom Thief."

In other words, he would not get involved in any conflict arising from the "capture of the Plum Blossom Thief".

Those with keen minds, like Bai Xiaosheng, were already making plans.

Therefore, beneath the seemingly calm surface forced by Gu Hanyuan, an even more chaotic undercurrent was brewing.

It doesn't matter if no one notices this; it's not like they're the only ones who can disrupt the situation.

The "Net" could easily impersonate the Plum Blossom Thief.

Of course, it's important to maintain a calm facade, otherwise it won't be conducive to Gu Hanyuan's strategy to win over Lin Shiyin.

Bai Xiaosheng took the lead and respectfully said:

"I will obey Young Master Gu's command."

After Gu Hanyuan nodded slightly to indicate that they could leave, he turned around and teased Sun Xiaohong with a smile:

"Little Red Girl, we meet again. Is there anything you need from me, someone with incredible luck?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaohong blushed deeply and said shyly:

"I didn't know who you were at the time, and I apologize for making you laugh. I'm here to apologize to you, and I have no intention of belittling you. I also want to thank you for saving me just now."

"It was just a joke, I wouldn't take it to heart. Besides, Miss Xiao Hong praised me more, didn't she? As for what happened just now, it was just my duty, I don't deserve Miss Xiao Hong's thanks."

Gu Hanyuan is also known for his double standards.

People like Zhao Zhengyi and You Longsheng suffered blindness and death simply because of their inappropriate words.

If Sun Xiaohong weren't so beautiful, Gu Hanyuan wouldn't have spoken to her so gently.

So, being good-looking is definitely an advantage.

Hearing Gu Hanyuan's gentle words, Sun Xiaohong felt even more ashamed.

She even felt a little annoyed that she had previously thought of Gu Hanyuan as a bad guy who seduced other men's wives.

Having finally gotten a chance to talk to Gu Hanyuan, Sun Xiaohong asked with a charming smile:
