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

He was adept at manipulating power, had a deep and calculating mind, and was an opportunist who was good at seizing opportunities. If it weren't for his involvement, Qiao Feng might not have ended up in a situation where he was condemned by everyone.

Of course, Quan Guanqing's biggest problem is that he is too weak and lacks the ability to make a decisive move.

Murong Fu is a typical example of someone who had many opportunities but failed to seize them all. If he had been able to get Quan Guanqing's assistance, he might have succeeded.

Compared to the Beggars' Sect members' focus on Gu Hanyuan's martial arts skills and reputation, Wang Yuyan and the other two women were more concerned about his appearance.

At this moment, everyone felt that the rumors circulating in the martial arts world about Gu Hanyuan's handsome and ethereal appearance were indeed true.

Compared to Murong Fu, not to mention that she was superior in appearance, it was her unique temperament that made her truly unforgettable.

They all secretly cursed at Guo Fu for clinging to Gu Hanyuan's arm without any restraint.

Wang Yuyan greatly admired Guo Fu's boldness; she herself lacked the courage to express intimacy.

Not long after, Qiao Feng appeared, seemingly carrying a speaker, and brought Duan Yu along.

Qiao Feng was handsome and had an extraordinary presence. He first paid his respects to Huang Rong and also got to know Gu Hanyuan.

Qiao Feng had a great liking for Gu Hanyuan, and after learning about the Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony, he considered him to be a righteous and chivalrous hero as well.

Anyone who knows Qiao Feng would find it hard not to like him, but unfortunately Gu Hanyuan and he have different positions, so they can only be brothers on the surface.

Upon seeing Wang Yuyan, Duan Yu warmly stepped forward to greet her.

Gu Hanyuan watched with amusement as Duan Yu fawned over Wang Yuyan.

Clearly, the suffering that Kumārajīva inflicted on him did not change the course of events.

I wonder if he can still manage to plead for a future this time.

Then the grand opera in Xingzilin began.

First, Bao Butong and Feng Bo'e fought a major battle with the four elders of the Northern Beggars' Sect.

Wang Yuyan was giving pointers to the two of them. Although she knew all the sects by heart, she didn't understand that while the moves were dead, the people were alive.

The speed of pointing was far outpaced by the speed of the fight, and the two were captured in no time.

Qiao Feng even showed off his "Dragon-Capturing Skill".

Gu Hanyuan once used the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms" from the Heaven Sword, but he rarely used it. However, the "Dragon Capturing Skill" was quite useful.

With Gu Hanyuan's current martial arts prowess, having witnessed Qiao Feng's "Dragon-Capturing Skill," he easily deduced it from the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms," proving it to be far superior to the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms."

Bao and Feng, finding themselves outmatched, left in shame.

Then, Quan Guanqing joined forces with the four elders to impeach Qiao Feng, but he used a heart-stirring act of stabbing himself four times to atone for the four elders' sins, thus turning the crisis of the Beggars' Sect into nothingness with his heroic spirit.

Even Huang Rong breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Unfortunately, all of this is just an illusion.

Sure enough, not long after, Xu Chongxiao, that power-hungry, muddle-headed, and lustful old man, appeared with Master Zhiguang, Master Tan, Granny Tan, Zhao Qiansun, Shan Zheng, and others.

After meeting, Tan Gong, Tan Po, and Zhao Qiansun immediately started arguing and vying for her affections.

Azhu suddenly showed off her ventriloquism, imitating Zhao Qiansun's infatuated words.

Compared to Qu Feiyan, A'Zhu was even more mischievous and unpredictable, and loved to show off her cleverness, which is why she often suffered losses and was eventually mistakenly killed by Qiao Feng.

Granny Tan was furious that a little girl like A Zhu dared to speak sarcastically to her, and she was about to slap her.

Suddenly, a leaf stuck at her feet.

"Granny Tan is a veteran of the martial arts world, why bother arguing with a young girl?"

Gu Hanyuan's indifferent voice came through.

"Can flying flowers and twirling leaves all cause injury?"

Gu Hanyuan's move was no less impressive than the "Dragon-Capturing Skill," instantly stunning everyone.

Even Huang Rong looked at him in surprise, not expecting his martial arts skills to have improved so much in just a few days.

Huang Rong's face fell, thinking: Gu Hanyuan's talent is indeed terrifyingly powerful, what a pity...

Chapter 118: Since Madam Guo has made a request, I can give it a try.

"Who are you?"

Granny Tan was also horrified; such a young man with such high martial arts skills was truly a sight she had never seen before.

"Gu Hanyuan has met Granny Tan."

Gu Hanyuan smiled gently and politely.

"So it's the 'Hero's Sword'. Indeed, heroes emerge from among the young. Since Young Hero Gu has pleaded for her, I will not make things difficult for this young lady."

Granny Tan had naturally heard of Gu Hanyuan's reputation, so she had no choice but to take advantage of the situation.

Looking at the smile on Gu Hanyuan's handsome face, Azhu's heart began to beat faster.

Although she was initially attracted by Qiao Feng's heroic spirit, she was equally moved by Gu Hanyuan's protection of her.

A'Zhu was just a lowly maid, and with Wang Yuyan being such a shining example, let alone Qiao Feng, who among the crowd actually gave her a second glance?

Given Gu Hanyuan's current renowned status in the martial arts world, it's hard for her not to care that he would protect such a lowly maid.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan was flirting with pretty girls again, Guo Fu pouted and wanted to pinch the soft flesh on his waist.

However, as soon as he placed his hand on it, he hesitated, both reluctant and afraid, and withdrew his hand with a gloomy expression.

Huang Rong, who was watching from the side, felt a pang of heartache and glared angrily at Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan glanced at Huang Rong and took the hand that Guo Fu had put down in his own.

Upon seeing this, Guo Fu's expression changed from gloomy to cheerful, and she leaned affectionately on his shoulder.

Seeing that Guo Fu's mood had improved, Huang Rong felt even more worried.

Azhu's expression was somewhat complicated, thinking that perhaps Gu Hanyuan only helped her because he was an upright person.

After the little farce, Madam Kang Min made her appearance.

Kang Min has delicate features and a beautiful appearance, with a natural charm in the corners of her eyes and brows.

Although she was ruthless, she was also stunningly beautiful, no wonder she bewitched Bai Shijing, Xu Chongxiao, Quan Guanqing and others to the point of losing their minds.

Moreover, she was one of Duan Zhengchun's mistresses.

Thinking of this, Gu Hanyuan's eyes were playful, and he felt that it was most appropriate to hand Duan Zhengchun over to Kang Min.

Of course, at least Gu Hanyuan is looking straight ahead now.

Huang Rong didn't know what was wrong with her, but whenever a beautiful woman appeared, she would deliberately pay attention to Gu Hanyuan.

Seeing that he remained unmoved, he breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt secretly annoyed with himself.

Kang Min was already amazed by Gu Hanyuan's handsome and ethereal appearance. Now that she saw him unmoved by her beauty, she became interested, but unfortunately, now was not the time.

Kang Min took out the will of Wang Jiantong, the former leader of the Northern Beggars' Clan, and then Master Zhiguang began to explain the whole story of the Battle of Yanmen Pass, revealing Qiao Feng's Khitan identity.

When Qiao Feng learned that he was a Khitan, it was as if he had been struck by lightning; he could hardly believe it.

Wang Jiantong's suicide note contained a letter signed by the leader of the gang back then, but Master Zhiguang took over the signature spot to avoid affecting his reputation.

The letter was full of high-sounding words, showing no remorse whatsoever for mistakenly killing Qiao Feng's parents. Instead, it demanded that Wang Jiantong keep a close watch on Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng inquired about the identity of the leader, but Master Zhiguang refused to reveal it, as did Zhao Qiansun and the others.

Seeing that the matter was already settled, Huang Rong became worried.

"Brother Qiao was a peerless hero, but I never expected him to end up like this. It's a pity and a lament."

Seeing the worry on Huang Rong's face, Gu Hanyuan asked softly:

"Madam Guo, would you like me to lend a hand?"

Huang Rong asked in surprise:

"Do you have any idea?"

"Since Madam Guo has made a request, I can give it a try."

Gu Hanyuan didn't make any promises. Whether the matter succeeded or failed wouldn't affect him much. He just wanted to take this opportunity to increase his influence in the martial arts world.

Of course, he must have said it as if he only reluctantly showed up for Huang Rong's sake.

Huang Rong saw Gu Hanyuan break free from Guo Fu's arm and walk into the arena.

Her expression became complicated again.

How could she not know Gu Hanyuan's feelings? It's just that she couldn't reciprocate them in the end.

Everyone was surprised to see Gu Hanyuan suddenly appear.

Suddenly, Gu Hanyuan burst into mocking laughter:

"Haha, how laughable! Bo Yuntian, a proponent of the Qiao Gang, lost both his parents and ruined ten years of merit for the Northern Beggars' Clan because of a fame-seeking villain. Master Zhiguang is highly respected and has tasted all kinds of herbs, saving more than ten thousand people. I admire him for this, but I can't bear to see him deceived. Otherwise, even if he dies one day, he will still bear the infamy of being fooled by a villain."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Even Quan Guanqing and Kang Min did not expect such a sudden change.

Seeing that things seemed to be taking a turn for the better, Qiao Feng listened intently.
