Chapter 111: Huang Rong: Why Do You Harbor Such Thoughts?

Fangzheng had originally been happy that Gu Gu Hanyuan and the Songshan Sect were clashing, but upon seeing the result, his expression turned ugly again.

With Gu Gu Hanyuan around, it would be harder than ever for North Shaolin to surpass the Jianghu status of Wudang.

After today’s events spread, even the status of the Southern North Shaolin in Song Guo might be shaken by the True Martial Temple of the Wu Dangpai.

Daoist Daoist Chongxu was somewhat excited; previously, when Gu Gu Hanyuan was only defending, it was hard to tell, but the power of his attacks was far stronger than ordinary ultimate techniques.

Even if he were to use the "Taiji Sword," it would be difficult to escape being defeated by "Famous in One Sword" even if he responded with all his might.

Daoist Daoist Chongxu sighed; Wudang had worthy successors.

As long as they protected Gu Gu Hanyuan for ten years, they could maintain Wudang’s status as the hegemon for another hundred years.

The four "Four Wonders of the South" looked at each other.

Especially Dai, who had just been hesitating whether to intervene; he hadn't expected Gu Gu Hanyuan to win so quickly.

Subconsciously, he looked at Sheng behind him, who was flushed and clearly moved.

His thoughts of playing matchmaker for the two grew even stronger.

Sheng was indeed very moved; she had already admired Gu Gu Hanyuan greatly, and now she felt he fulfilled all her beautiful fantasies of an ideal husband.

His appearance was so handsome one couldn't look away, his character was upright, he possessed a sense of justice, and his martial arts were so high they had no bounds—she even felt that her father, Dai, was no match for him.

Sheng even felt a bit fortunate for yesterday’s encounter; otherwise, would such a heroic figure really have looked at her?

She thought that after things were settled, she would definitely have to feed White Dragon more good things as a reward.

As for her cousin Wang Lu Xiaofeng, some people truly couldn't stand comparison.

And yesterday’s events had indeed caused Wang Lu Xiaofeng to lose points; the little favorable impression she had of him had been completely consumed.

Sheng looked at Guo Fu, Yue Yue Lingshan, and even Liu Jing, who was being shielded by Gu Gu Hanyuan, and felt immense pressure.

For Liu Jing, Gu Gu Hanyuan had not only saved her but also her mother and brothers; being a beast of burden would not be enough to repay him.

Of course, if she could offer herself to him, that would be even better.

Liu Jing blushed at the thought.

She looked at Gu Gu Hanyuan’s well-defined profile and thought that even being a slave or a maid would be fine.

Yue Yue Lingshan’s eyes were filled with hearts, her hands subconsciously clenched in front of her.

She and Guo Fu had one thing in common: they admired strength and were career-oriented.

This was the reason she had repeatedly urged Brother Linghu Chong to be ambitious in "Smiling Proudly."

Seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan defeat the three Songshan Sect members—any one of whom her father, Yue Yue Buqun, would find it difficult to defeat steadily—she was moved beyond measure.

Seeing Yue Yue Lingshan’s expression, Brother Linghu Chong felt bitter; although he knew he couldn't compare to Gu Gu Hanyuan, the sourness in his heart could not be stopped.

Brother Linghu Chong’s junior brothers also looked at each other, feeling that even if they wanted to help Brother Linghu Chong, they were powerless.

Ning Zhongze looked at Gu Gu Hanyuan with surprise; although she was very astonished by Gu Gu Hanyuan’s martial arts, she admired his character even more.

Moreover, since Yue Yue Lingshan was enamored with him, it was not easy to force Yue Yue Lingshan and Brother Linghu Chong together anymore.

Of course, she was still somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Gu Hanyuan’s romantic luck.

Sister Yilin had the simplest mind; from beginning to end, she had been worried about Gu Gu Hanyuan’s safety, constantly praying for him.

Seeing him unharmed, she thanked all the gods and Buddhas in her heart.

The Hengshan disciples beside Sister Yilin also showed brilliant expressions.

They were young, after all, and it was normal for their cultivation to be shaken.

Of course, Abbess Abbess Dingyi was definitely dissatisfied with this; no matter how much she appreciated Gu Gu Hanyuan, she couldn't watch him ruin her disciples’ cultivation.

Especially seeing Sister Yilin’s appearance—worrying for his danger and finding peace in his safety—she became even more determined to keep her from having contact with Gu Gu Hanyuan in the future.

Guo Fu’s thoughts were also simple; she already liked Gu Gu Hanyuan, and now she felt both proud and boastful, feeling that the person she liked should have such spirit.

At this moment, she was grabbing Huang Rong’s hands, happily telling her mother about Gu Gu Hanyuan’s virtues, every word filled with her attraction to him.

Huang Rong looked at the excited Guo Fu with some helplessness.

Actually, she couldn't say she didn't understand; whether it was that astonishing sword art or that spirit of "I will go even if there are thousands of people" for the sake of justice in his heart, it was indeed easy to attract a woman’s admiration.

Even she herself couldn't help but have a trace of inexplicable feeling.

Even if she had confidence in Guo Jing’s martial arts, she didn't think the young Guo Jing could compare to Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Moreover, with Gu Gu Hanyuan’s talent, it might not be long before his martial arts caught up to the current Guo Jing.

Huang Rong asked herself: If the person she had met back then hadn't been Ouyang Ke, but Gu Gu Hanyuan, would she really have chosen Guo Jing?

Especially thinking of that affectionate kiss on her forehead last night, her thoughts were incredibly complex.

Looking again at Guo Fu’s expression as a young girl facing her beloved.

Huang Rong’s autumn eyes looked at Gu Gu Hanyuan, who was still standing tall and upright, as if he had just done something trivial, his body filled with awe-inspiring righteousness, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

She sighed in her heart: "Why do you harbor such thoughts?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan took in everyone’s expressions and guessed their thoughts seven or eight times out of ten.

Seeing that his goal of gaining prestige had been achieved, he looked at the wary three from the Songshan Sect and said:

"I only did this to maintain Jianghu order; if I allowed others to harm family members, wouldn't the world be in chaos? As long as the Songshan Sect promises not to harm Liu Liu Zhengfeng’s family again, I will not intervene for Liu Liu Zhengfeng himself."

The three from the Songshan Sect looked at each other, feeling that since things had reached this point, there was no point in forcing it, and said solemnly:

"Fine, since that is the case, the Songshan Sect will give Young Hero Gu face and spare Liu Liu Zhengfeng’s family."

Looking at the Songshan Sect, which had been arrogant and then humble, everyone’s thoughts were mysterious, and they had a deeper understanding of Gu Gu Hanyuan’s power.

Gu Gu Hanyuan nodded with satisfaction and turned to Liu Liu Zhengfeng:

"Senior Liu, I cannot interfere in the conflict of stance between the Five Mountain Sword Sects and the Sun Moon Holy Cult; please take care of yourself."

Liu Liu Zhengfeng looked at Liu Jing, who was being protected behind Gu Gu Hanyuan, and smiled:

"Young Hero Gu, what are you saying? You have already done enough by protecting my family. If possible, I entrust Jing’er to you in the future."

Liu Jing was worried about Liu Liu Zhengfeng’s safety, and she didn't expect to hear such a deathbed-like entrustment; she was both worried and shy.

"Since I am here, I will naturally protect her safety."

Gu Gu Hanyuan answered ambiguously, as if he hadn't understood his meaning.

He didn't want the other women to explode.

Although Liu Jing was somewhat anxious, she knew this wasn't the time to care about that; looking at Liu Liu Zhengfeng, who was now relaxed, she only hoped he could be safe and sound.
