Chapter 116: A smile that heals the human heart

"Since Guo'er has decided to leave the Ancient Tomb, I suppose it is the result of careful consideration. Although Granny Sun entrusted me to take care of him, since he has left the Ancient Tomb, from now on, let there be no resentment in life or death."

Xiaolongnu was actually quite open-minded, appearing to have done her best and leaving the rest to fate.

"Since Miss Long is unwilling to leave the Ancient Tomb, I can help look for Brother Yang. If I can persuade him to return to the Ancient Tomb, I will persuade him back; if I cannot persuade him, I will also try my best to look after him."

Gu Hanyuan looked at Xiaolongnu with a serious expression and promised.

Xiaolongnu felt slightly shy being looked at by him.

Li Mochou said somewhat jealously:

"It's a pity that now that I have returned to the Ancient Tomb sect, I also have to abide by the sect rules and cannot leave the Ancient Tomb. I suddenly have some regrets."

"Didn't Fairy Li say there is a way to leave the Ancient Tomb without violating the sect rules?"

Gu Hanyuan of course knew this sect rule, but at this moment, Li Mochou's words were all implying that he should take the bait, so it was not easy to play dumb.

"What if it requires your help?"

Li Mochou looked at Gu Hanyuan with brimming eyes.

"If Fairy Li has a request, I will naturally be duty-bound."

Gu Hanyuan agreed without hesitation; Li Mochou was much easier to handle than Xiaolongnu.

She wouldn't even care too much about Gu Hanyuan's ambition, but would instead try her best to help.

Li Mochou smiled with satisfaction; her charming and affectionate face was even more beautiful now that it no longer maintained that coldness.

Gu Hanyuan pondered for a moment and decided to farm some more favorability.

"Miss Long, Fairy Li. Although the Ancient Tomb's environment is quiet and elegant, and there are beauties for company, it is a pity that I still have important matters to attend to and cannot stay for long."

"You are leaving?"

Upon hearing that Gu Hanyuan had the intention to leave, Li Mochou, who did not want to part so soon at all, hurriedly asked.

Xiaolongnu also looked over, and a sense of reluctance similarly surged in her heart.

She thought in her heart: "So it really is impossible to let him stay in the Ancient Tomb?"

"Yes, the matter is urgent, and I must leave today. However, there is still one thing on my mind before I leave."

Upon hearing the news that Gu Hanyuan was leaving today, Li Mochou's expression was somewhat dazed, and once again, she did not want to abide by the Ancient Tomb sect rules.

"A thing on your mind?"

Seeing Li Mochou in a daze, Xiaolongnu had to ask.

"The 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra' is dangerous and unpredictable, and you haven't found a suitable practice partner yet, so you must not practice it by force."

Gu Hanyuan warned the two seriously.

Upon hearing this, Li Mochou almost blurted out something like "I want to practice with you".

Fortunately, a woman's reserve made her hold back, but she felt somewhat melancholy in her heart.

Xiaolongnu blushed at the thought of the practice method of the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra", secretly glanced at him, and felt too embarrassed to speak.

"The Quanzhen Sect acts in a strong and shameless manner; they lost face here with me, and since they are neighbors with the Ancient Tomb, it is hard to guarantee that they won't do something to you. Having met the two young ladies, I cannot help but feel somewhat worried now that we are about to part. I have a martial arts manual here suitable for your practice; after learning it, you will at least have more ability to protect yourselves."

As Gu Hanyuan spoke, he took out a piece of silk from his bosom on which he had copied a simplified version of the "Nine Yin Manual" last night. It was similar to the one he gave to Ji Xiaofu, only with an additional "Bone-Crushing Divine Claw", which was the predecessor of the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw", and was more suitable for Li Mochou to use.

Of course, he had marked all the places where the "Bone-Crushing Divine Claw" could easily go wrong; he didn't want to see Li Mochou practicing by grabbing people's heads every day.

Li Mochou took the silk handed over by Gu Hanyuan, took a look, and exclaimed: ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
