Chapter 106: Vulgar powder, how can it compare to one ten-thousandth of my lady

At night, Huang Rong, who hadn't seen Gu Gu Hanyuan all day, walked to the place where she drank with him last night by some strange coincidence.

Sure enough, she saw Gu Gu Hanyuan standing with his hands behind his back facing the bright moon, leaving a heroic back for her.

Two pots of wine and two cups were placed on the table, clearly waiting for Huang Rong to come.

Huang Rong’s face turned a bit red when she saw this; such a scene inevitably made people think too much.

Gu Gu Hanyuan seemed to notice Huang Rong’s arrival, turned to look at her, and revealed a fresh smile.

"My lady, you are here."

Huang Rong said unhappily:

"How did you know I would come?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan pretended to ponder for a while before saying:

"I guessed."

"Really? I always feel like you were sure I would come, and even prepared two wine cups."

Huang Rong looked at Gu Gu Hanyuan suspiciously.

Ever since Huang Rong met Gu Gu Hanyuan, the more she understood him, the more she felt a hazy feeling, as if after peeling away a layer of fog, there was another layer.

Bottomless, making people want to explore.

Because of last night’s experience, Huang Rong had decided before coming that if Gu Gu Hanyuan asked her to drink again, she must refuse.

Seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan looking like he was going to ask her to drink again, she hurriedly changed the subject.

"Gu Hanyuan, have you heard the nursery rhyme in Hengyang City?"

"Golden Basin Hand-Washing, sheep into the tiger’s mouth, family broken and dead, demon king running wild?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan naturally knew what Huang Rong was talking about.

"Gu Hanyuan, what do you think of this? Could it be that people from the Sun Moon Divine Sect are going to make trouble at the Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony?"

Huang Rong’s face was solemn.

The Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect had been hostile for many years, so it was no surprise that Huang Rong would have such thoughts.

Gu Gu Hanyuan laughed disdainfully:

"Heh, the so-called nursery rhymes are all man-made. If Liu Liu Zhengfeng washes his hands in the golden basin, the strength of the Five Mountains Sword Sect will inevitably weaken. Is that a good thing or a bad thing for the Sun Moon Divine Sect?"

"That is naturally a good thing. You mean?"

With Huang Rong’s intelligence, she immediately reacted after Gu Gu Hanyuan’s hint that the biggest impact of Liu Liu Zhengfeng’s hand-washing was the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

And the Five Mountains Sword Sect was led by the Songshan Sect; Zuo Zuo Lengchan would definitely not let Liu Liu Zhengfeng wash his hands in the golden basin.

"My lady is indeed intelligent; it is the possibility you thought of."

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s eyes were appreciative.

Huang Rong felt uncomfortable being looked at by him.

"There is still no news of the Songshan Sect coming to Hengyang City; I’m afraid that if they come tomorrow, they will be coming with ill intent."

"Zuo Zuo Lengchan has always wanted to merge the Five Mountains and become a top sect. After all, being in the same Songshan and being neighbors with the Southern North Shaolin, the pressure is not small."

Gu Gu Hanyuan could understand Zuo Zuo Lengchan’s thoughts, but he was too naive.

Southern North Shaolin would not let Zuo Zuo Lengchan merge the Five Mountains.

Just like in *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, Fangzheng taught the sect-protecting technique "Yijin Jing" to Brother Linghu Chong, precisely because he wanted the Huashan Sect and the Songshan Sect to clash.

Balance was the best result for them.

Brother Linghu Chong was chosen because Fangzheng saw his lack of desire for the world.

So the final result was that the Five Mountains failed to merge, the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect were severely damaged, and Brother Linghu Chong retired.

North Shaolin remained the hegemon of the Wu Lin.

Huang Rong also had no good impression of the monks of Southern North Shaolin.

Southern North Shaolin was the leading sect in the Wu Lin in the Song Guo.

She and Guo Jing defended Xiangyang, and it wasn't that they hadn't asked Southern North Shaolin for help, but they were all refused with excuses.

They acted as if they were closing the mountain and not participating in national strife.

Yet they were constantly active in the Wu Lin.

"Should we stop the Songshan Sect tomorrow?"

Huang Rong asked with a frown.

Apart from the Hengshan Sect sending some wound medicine to support, the other sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect had never helped Xiangyang City.

Helping Liu Liu Zhengfeng could show favor to the Hengshan Sect, but if he really washed his hands in the golden basin, he would have nothing to do with Wu Lin affairs in the future, and would no longer be a member of the Hengshan Sect.

Was it really worth offending the Songshan Sect just for one Liu Liu Zhengfeng?

Huang Rong had indeed exhausted her efforts for Xiangyang City, and almost every word and action was planning to seek more help for Xiangyang City.

Including treating Gu Gu Hanyuan relatively tolerantly, which was also related to this.

It was not only valuing his potential, but more importantly, his identity as a disciple of the Wu Dangpai.

And with Gu Gu Hanyuan’s talent, there was a high possibility of him taking charge of the Wu Dangpai in the future.

Otherwise, how could she maintain a default attitude toward the matter between Guo Fu and him when she saw Gu Gu Hanyuan surrounded by multiple women?

"If the Songshan Sect is just targeting Liu Liu Zhengfeng, there is no need to pay attention to it; we have no position to intervene. It’s just that with Zuo Zuo Lengchan’s unscrupulous means, there is no guarantee he won't attack Liu Liu Zhengfeng’s family."

Gu Gu Hanyuan pretended to be very worried.

"If the Songshan Sect really attacks Liu Liu Zhengfeng’s family, will you make a move?"

Huang Rong looked at Gu Gu Hanyuan with some surprise.

Although Gu Gu Hanyuan’s deeds had always been righteous, and he even had the demeanor of Guo Jing when he was young in this regard.

But really clashing with the Songshan Sect was another matter.

The Songshan Sect was not a sect like the Quanzhen Sect, which had nothing to show for itself except for a set of formations, and whose disciples were of mixed quality.

The lowest of the Thirteen Taibao of the Songshan Sect were at the peak of the Innate Realm, and even the stronger ones were Grandmasters. If Zuo Zuo Lengchan could break through to the Great Grandmaster Realm, he could completely become a top sect.

If it weren't for Zuo Zuo Lengchan’s cultivation reaching a bottleneck after practicing the Cold Ice True Qi, and being unable to make progress, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to merge the Five Mountains to become a top sect.

"The standpoint of righteousness and evil is not important to me; it is for the righteousness in my heart not to be tarnished."

When Gu Gu Hanyuan said this, his expression was serious and earnest, as if he would go even if there were thousands of people.

Huang Rong looked at Gu Gu Hanyuan, who seemed to be glowing under the moonlight, and was stunned for a moment.

Although Huang Rong was the daughter of the Eastern Heretic Huang Huang Yaoshi, and had been unconventional when she was young, being called a "demoness."

But in fact, because she admired her mother Feng Heng, she also cherished righteousness in her heart.

Otherwise, how could Guo Jing have won her heart just by treating her to a meal and giving her a horse when she was disguised as a beggar?

It was because she saw that although Guo Jing was wooden, he was attracted by that righteous heart of knowing it was impossible but still doing it.

Huang Rong, whose heart was inexplicably flustered, teased Gu Gu Hanyuan to hide her emotions:

"I heard you were quite romantic today, taking Fu'er to the Qunyu Courtyard and gaining the favor of many women; why didn't you agree to it? Was it also for the righteousness in your heart?"

Huang Rong’s charming and affectionate eyes were full of smiles.

Gu Gu Hanyuan looked at Huang Rong, who was acting mischievous, with some amusement.

He suddenly sat upright again, looked at Huang Rong seriously, and slowed his tone, making his voice more magnetic.

"Vulgar powder, how can it compare to one ten-thousandth of my lady?"
