Chapter 178: Ao Tian Imprisoned (4)

Since Gu Yun said so, Yu Handan didn't ask for trouble anymore. She gently opened the wooden box beside her, inside was a seven-stringed zither made of green jade and emerald, the rich and full green color shining with a moist luster in the moonlight. Placing the zither on her lap, Yu Handan lifted her slender hands and plucked the strings as if testing the sound. The clear sound rolled down, already beautiful beyond compare.

Although Gu Yun didn't understand the zither or music, she could also feel the preciousness of the zither and Yu Handan's skill in playing it.

With her hands behind her head, Gu Yun lay flat on the grass, looking at the top of her head, where the tree trunk she used for pull-ups was still swaying back and forth, listening to the melodious zither music in her ears. Gu Yun sighed secretly, beauty should be like this, right. No wonder Su Ling felt she didn't look like a woman. Comparing them, she discovered she really didn't look like one.

Closing her eyes slightly, Gu Yun suddenly felt a strange feeling. This was—the feeling of being spied on! Gu Yun opened her eyes abruptly, pressed down on the still-trembling strings, and the beautiful music stopped abruptly.

In the cold prison, there was only a small window. The clear moonlight shone obliquely into the prison from outside the window, vaguely seeing a corner of the stone bed where a person was sitting. The lean body was straight, leaning against the stone wall, and the silver-white hair shone with the clear radiance in this room of darkness. The overly quiet cell revealed a bizarre aura, as if it lacked human breath. The Yamen Runners who would patrol from time to time had disappeared without a trace.

"Unexpectedly, the Qiongyue prison is quite comfortable." A male voice with hoarseness and banter sounded low outside the prison door. An ink-black shadow appeared abruptly like this. The man standing outside the prison door actually also had a head of silver-white hair that didn't lose to Ao Tian, and his appearance was seven points similar. At first glance, the two were really alike. The difference was that Ao Tian was surrounded by a cold and indifferent aura, while he was filled with a cold and ruthless aura of slaughter.

Ao Tian's eyes, which were darker than the night, opened slowly, but he didn't look at the man outside the door, nor did he answer him. One couldn't see Ao Tian's expression, but one could feel that the ice-like aura was getting stronger and stronger.

Seeing Ao Tian unmoved, the man's cold and ruthless eyes flashed with cold light, and he laughed lowly, "I know for the first time that Ao Tian will also avoid, or do you want to hide here for a lifetime?"

Ao Tian still sat there coldly, as if there was no one outside the door at all, ignoring him completely. The man's hands clenched unconsciously, and his thin lips curled into a cold arc, laughing lowly, "That little girl was quite beautiful last time. I don't know if she is just as delicious when enjoyed."

Ao Tian was startled. Although it wasn't obvious, it was enough for the man to discover. The smile expanded even more. He knew he would win this bet! The man's hoarse and sharp laughter rang out unscrupulously in the prison. He didn't look at Ao Tian anymore, but walked toward the door.

Finally, Ao Tian, who had always been cool and arrogant and didn't say a word, suddenly shouted, "Stop."

The man's figure stalled, and he stopped. Only a cold and ruthless low voice rang out from behind, like it came from hell, "If you don't want to die, don't touch her!"

The man's heart jumped. What a strong aura, worthy of being of the Ao family, born with the bloodthirsty and cruel nature flowing in his blood. He didn't know if his racing heartbeat was because of excitement or fear. The man's hoarse voice continued to provoke, "Don't worry, I will leave her a complete corpse."

After saying this, the man walked away without looking back. Ao Tian, I don't believe you won't come out!

Gu Yun opened her eyes abruptly, stood up nimbly, and pressed down on the still-trembling strings, and the beautiful music stopped abruptly. Yu Handan was startled and stood there without daring to move. The courtyard was quiet, there was nothing unusual, the night wind was blowing slowly, and withered leaves drifted down from time to time. After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement. Yu Handan finally couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yun observed with concentration for a long time, but the feeling of being spied on seemed to have disappeared. Was she overly sensitive? Or was the person hiding too well? Not daring to be sure in her heart, Gu Yun didn't say much to Yu Handan, moved her hand away from the strings, and replied indifferently, "Nothing, you continue."

How could she continue? Gu Yun suddenly did this just now, making her lose all interest in playing the zither, and inexplicably scared her once. Yu Handan's complexion clearly worsened.

Seeing that Yu Handan was angry, Gu Yun didn't intend to explain. The two sat on the grass like this, and the air pressure was a bit low. At this moment, Su Ren's tall figure appeared outside the courtyard gate.

Just as she wanted to say hello, she saw two women sitting there looking at each other with displeasure. Gu Yun looked somewhat absent-minded, and Yu Handan was clearly angry. In his memory, Yu Handan was elegant and gentle, still carrying a bit of aloofness, speaking softly, occasionally shy, and had very good upbringing. Qing Mo was really amazing. Someone like this had only been with her for half a day and could force someone to change their face.

After all, he had no experience in dealing with the war between women! Standing there for a long time, Su Ren thought about whether he should continue to walk in or hide first. One was already Big Brother's woman, and one was a woman who wanted to become Big Brother's woman. He couldn't afford to provoke either.

Just as he was about to retreat, Yu Handan discovered his figure. Putting the jade zither on her lap aside, Yu Handan stood up immediately, turned slightly, bowed, and said softly, "Commander Su."

Gu Yun was somewhat dumbfounded. Just now she glared at herself until her eyeballs were about to fall out, and now this gentle and watery appearance, although very pleasing to the eye, was also very scary because the change was too fast!

Su Ren was stunned and smiled, "Miss Yu, are you used to living here? If you have any needs, just tell me."

Yu Handan smiled slightly and replied softly, "Commander Su is too polite."

Yu Handan was as elegant and polite as usual. At such a close distance, Gu Yun could hear her voice trembling slightly, and her beautiful eyes were lowered, never daring to look Su Ren in the eye. Facing Su Ling this afternoon, she was still calm and composed, so why was she so constrained now? Could it be...

Gu Yun guessed secretly, but she never dared to overestimate her ability to analyze emotions, so Gu Yun teased Su Ren, "What are you doing here? Don't tell me you heard there was a beauty in the courtyard and rushed over to offer your courtesy!"

Just as Gu Yun's voice fell, Yu Handan glared at her secretly again, but her face became redder and redder. Gu Yun smiled secretly. All signs indicated that her analysis should be correct. Looking at Su Ren again, he didn't have any ambiguity or longing for Yu Handan! Could it be that the falling flowers have intention, but the flowing water has no heart? Gu Yun was somewhat confused. Her brain was really not suitable for analyzing love!

Standing up and patting the grass on her body, Gu Yun knew Su Ling was waiting for her to explain today's actions, after all, it was she who insisted on letting Yu Handan stay.

Gu Yun was about to leave when Su Ren suddenly discovered a strange light flashing on a large tree behind her and immediately shouted loudly, "Who is there!" At the same time, he leaped up and rushed to the treetops. Gu Yun only saw the branches and leaves shaking violently, knowing that there was indeed someone on the tree.

Gu Yun grabbed Yu Handan, who was still confused, and retreated to the door, watching the changes.

The dense bushes shook violently. Gu Yun was secretly startled. This person could appear in the heavily guarded General's Mansion without a sound, which showed his martial arts were high. She didn't know if Su Ren was his opponent.

Just as she wanted to call for Ice Lotus to help, a white and a black figure chased each other from the treetops to the courtyard. Under the night light, the black-clad man's silver hair was particularly dazzling.

Ao Tian! Seeing the visitor clearly, Gu Yun and Yu Handan were both startled. Gu Yun was surprised at how Ao Tian appeared here; wasn't he in prison? Yu Handan was because of fear. The bloody scene that night appeared before her eyes again. She shrank behind Gu Yun, her hands clutching Gu Yun's sleeve tightly.

Su Ren had no weapons in his hands, only using his fists and feet. Ao Tian also didn't draw his sword. Although his attacks were somewhat heavy, they were not really aimed at killing. Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief secretly, shielded Yu Handan behind her, and watched the changes.

Ao Tian probably wanted to leave. Facing Su Ren's entanglement, his attacks became more ruthless. He hit Su Ren's chest with a heavy and urgent straight punch. Yu Handan immediately screamed nervously, "Be careful!" Gu Yun raised her eyebrows slightly. Now she could almost confirm Miss Yu's feelings, because her arm was about to be pinched off by Miss Yu!

Even if Yu Handan screamed this, Su Ren still couldn't dodge the punch and was beaten back several steps, his chest feeling stuffy and painful. He was probably internally injured.

Ao Tian didn't even look at him. Just as he was about to leave, a sword energy as hot as flames stabbed toward his back. Ao Tian dodged to the side nimbly, but his way was blocked by a long sword!

At this moment, Su Ling held Red Snow, staring coldly at Ao Tian. He actually dared to break into his General's Mansion, good! He let him escape in the back mountain last time, but he wouldn't be so lucky this time!

A flash of resentment also crossed Ao Tian's cold black eyes. The injury on his arm was caused by him. Last time it was to save Qing Mo, so he didn't entangle with him too much, but this time he wanted to let him see the power of Ciling. His hand slowly touched his waist, and with a light wave, an ink-black soft sword appeared in Ao Tian's hand.

The two didn't talk much nonsense, rushed up, and fought like two bulls whose eyes had turned red. The heat of Red Snow met the resilience of Magnetic Spirit, Su Ling's rigid moves met Ao Tian's bizarre martial arts, and they were actually evenly matched for a while. However, these two people were both fighting without regard for their lives!

Gu Yun really couldn't bear to watch. She stepped forward and said loudly, "Ao Tian, Su Ling, stop fighting!" Now the point was to figure out Ao Tian's purpose for coming here, right!

Unfortunately, the two men whose eyes had already turned red couldn't listen to Gu Yun's words at all, still fighting inextricably, and even showing signs of intensifying. If the tiger doesn't show its power, they treat her as a sick cat!

Yu Handan only heard Gu Yun curse low, and her delicate body rushed into that group of sword light and shadow that she wanted to avoid! Was she not wanting her life? Or did she think she could stop the two big men in anger! Yu Handan's heart jumped into her throat, fearing to see the scene of blood splashing on the spot again, and hurriedly covered her eyes.

Only hearing Gu Yun shout, "Ice Lotus!" A cold aura rushed out from the room. Yu Handan opened her eyes and only saw a white light flash past. Gu Yun already had a long sword that was snow-white all over in her hand, the sword body was slender, and the sword edge was sharp.

Rushing into the middle of the two in one go, Gu Yun gripped the long sword tightly and swung it toward the sword bodies that were entangled together—

The hard training during these days, the increasing tacit understanding with Ice Lotus, and Gu Yun's boundless anger helping, the power of this sword was greater than any other time. Only a sound of extremely harsh friction between sword bodies was heard, and both Su Ling and Ao Tian were shaken out of 30 feet away by this extremely cold and irritable sword energy.

Gu Yun's tiger's mouth was also shaken until it was numb by the sword energy. Roaring with rage, she shouted, "I told you two to stop! Whoever dares to move again, I will split him!"

The power of this roar made the entire Yitian Courtyard quiet instantly, so quiet that Yu Handan could hear nothing except her own heartbeat.
