Chapter 103

"Safe travels, my lady."

Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't force it and nodded with a smile.

Watching Huang Rong’s graceful, slender, and elegant back as she left, his eyes were deep, and a playful smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

After returning to her room, Huang Rong threw herself onto the bed, burying her face in the pillow and letting out a conflicted whimper.

For a moment, she felt like a little girl.

She felt tonight was too embarrassing; she could never drink with Gu Gu Hanyuan at night again.

Recalling the scene of being steadied, she felt the temperature around her waist heat up again.

Huang Rong barely suppressed her complex thoughts, suddenly feeling a bit worried again.

The next day, Gu Gu Hanyuan naturally didn't see Huang Rong.

He took Guo Fu and Yue Yue Lingshan out to stroll around Hengyang City.

Although both women were somewhat dissatisfied with the other’s presence, they gladly agreed to have the chance to go shopping with Gu Gu Hanyuan.

The three chatted casually, strolling along the noisy street.

Although there were occasional skirmishes between the two women, perhaps out of concern for the many people on the street, they didn't make as much of a scene as they did yesterday.

Of course, with the beauty of the two women, they inevitably attracted many gazes, while at the same time, people were envious and jealous of Gu Gu Hanyuan, who was with them.

Gu Gu Hanyuan was even prepared for someone to cause trouble.

However, before trouble could come knocking, a situation arose ahead.

Two horses were seen charging wildly through the busy market.

"The horses are startled!"

After a pedestrian shouted, the crowd scattered.

After the commotion, a girl in green remained in the middle of the street, not dodging, looking as if she had been stunned by the sudden situation.

Many in the crowd showed expressions of unbearable pity.

The startled horse was a white horse in the lead, followed by a yellow-maned horse.

Both horses were quite magnificent.

If the girl in green were hit by such force, she would inevitably die on the spot.

Sitting on the back of the white horse was a girl in white, who was also shouting nervously at this moment:

"Quick, dodge!"

Seeing that the girl in green still looked unresponsive, the girl in white closed her eyes in pity.

However, the situation where the white horse would hit the girl in green did not occur.

Because a fluttering figure in white appeared before her—it was Gu Gu Hanyuan, who had caught up using his lightness skill.

Gu Gu Hanyuan stuck the Hero Sword into the ground and glared coldly at the white horse.

The white horse was so scared that its front legs straightened, and it braked sharply.

"Take one more step forward, and I will cut off your head."

It had been said before that many animals in this world had spiritual nature, were particularly sensitive to aura, and could understand human speech; clearly, this white horse was such a spiritual animal.

The white horse was trembling with fear, nearly throwing the girl in white off its back.

The girl in white had slightly dark skin, but was pretty and charming, neat and standard; she was Sheng, who had come to join the fun of the Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony with her father, Dai.

Sheng finally steadied herself and opened her eyes, looking at Gu Gu Hanyuan, who was as cold as frost but still dashing and handsome, and was also stunned.

Sheng, who had originally felt a bit guilty, heard Gu Gu Hanyuan’s threat to the white horse, and after the white horse was too scared to calm down, her willow eyebrows stood up.

"How could you scare my White Dragon!"

"Riding a horse to hurt people in the market—what would be the harm in cutting it down?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't stand on ceremony with her and glanced at her.

"You!"

Sheng clearly felt that White Dragon was even more afraid, and there was even a feeling that she couldn't sit in the saddle.

She had to dismount first to avoid being thrown off.

"Before that, shouldn't you apologize to this little girl first?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan revealed the girl in green behind him.

The girl in green pouted and said dissatisfiedly:

"I’m not little. My name is Qu Qu Feiyan. Big Brother, are you that 'Hero Sword' Gu Gu Hanyuan?"

It turned out that this girl in green was Qu Qu Feiyan, who had appeared at the Huiyan Pavilion yesterday. At this moment, she walked from behind to Gu Gu Hanyuan’s side, looking at him with a smile.

She thought to herself: He really is very good-looking.

Qu Qu Feiyan had deliberately arranged this startled horse scene after discovering Gu Gu Hanyuan.

She had set up a small mechanism on the path Sheng and the others had to take, and once she passed, it would shoot a needle into White Dragon.

White Dragon, in pain, would gallop wildly.

Qu Qu Feiyan, after her experience at the Huiyan Pavilion yesterday, based on her understanding of Gu Gu Hanyuan, thought he should come to save her.

She wanted to get to know Gu Gu Hanyuan through a man-made "hero saves the beauty" scenario.

As for what if Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't come to save her, Qu Qu Feiyan wasn't worried.

Her martial arts were inherited from Qu Yang, known as the "Black Blood Divine Needle." Since her main attack method was hidden weapons, her lightness skill couldn't be bad.

Qu Qu Feiyan could completely dodge using her lightness skill before being hit.

And now that Gu Gu Hanyuan had really come to save her according to her plan, she felt her heart race.

Gu Gu Hanyuan looked at Qu Qu Feiyan, whose face was slightly red and who had a mischievous smile, and smiled slightly.

"Miss Qu, it’s good that you’re alright."

Gu Gu Hanyuan had placed a spiritual sense positioning on Qu Qu Feiyan when he was at the Huiyan Pavilion; of course, Yue Yue Lingshan had one too.

So he had long discovered Qu Qu Feiyan’s tracks, and her self-directed performance had also fallen into his eyes.

He found it somewhat funny that she had gone to such lengths to strike up a conversation.

Sheng saw the two talking as if no one else was around and was somewhat dissatisfied.

But she was a person of elegant character and reason, so she was about to apologize to Qu Qu Feiyan.

Of course, she was also very surprised to hear Gu Gu Hanyuan’s name, as she was in Hengyang City and had naturally heard about the Huiyan Pavilion.

She admired Gu Gu Hanyuan from the bottom of her heart for killing the flower-plucking thief Tian Tian Boguang, who had run rampant for many years, and even mentioned it to her cousin Wang Lu Xiaofeng many times.

Just as Sheng was about to apologize, Wang Lu Xiaofeng behind her interrupted her.

"What 'Hero Sword'? He’s just a little hero who killed a small flower-plucking thief, and he’s being touted as a great hero, even showing off his power against a horse."

Wang Lu Xiaofeng had always liked Sheng, and yesterday he had heard Gu Gu Hanyuan’s name many times from her mouth, so he had been holding in his displeasure all night.

Moreover, Wang Lu Xiaofeng was always arrogant and conceited, and had no self-awareness, thinking that Tian Tian Boguang was just a flower-plucking thief, and that his reputation was mostly due to his high lightness skill; if he had run into him, he could have killed him too.

So he was very dissatisfied with the Wu Lin people touting Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Before Gu Gu Hanyuan could show his dissatisfaction with Wang Lu Xiaofeng’s words, Guo Fu and Yue Yue Lingshan, who had caught up from behind, exploded.

"Where did this lackey pop out from! How dare you spout nonsense about Big Brother Gu!"

"Exactly, looking like a human but acting like a dog; you didn't kill Tian Tian Boguang, so why are you acting like such a big shot!"

Wang Lu Xiaofeng never expected to be sprayed by two women at once, and without dismounting, he said angrily:

"Tian Tian Boguang is just a flower-plucking thief; how can he compare to our Bell-Sword Duo? If I had run into him, I would have killed him with one sword too."

"Bell-Sword Duo? Sister Guo, have you heard of them?"

"No, Sister Yue. I don't know which small place they bragged about their name from."

While despising Wang Lu Xiaofeng, the two women didn't forget to argue about the titles of "big sister" and "little sister."

They truly hadn't heard of the Bell-Sword Duo; after all, apart from occasionally catching some small thieves, they had no other achievements.

It was just a name touted out of respect for the four people of the "Falling Flower Flow" of the Southern Four Wonders.
