Chapter 1197

He recounted the stories of Xiaolongnü and Li Mochou to Lady Hu.

The images of the two junior sisters gradually became full in Lady Hu's heart:

Xiaolongnü, cold, beautiful, and not good at expressing emotions;

Li Mochou, enchanting, charming, ruthless, yet infatuated.

Xiaolongnü, let alone,

the "three-no" girl had never left the Ancient Tomb,

and Zhen Zhibing had been nipped in the bud by Gu Hanyuan.

Li Mochou, however, made Lady Hu sigh with regret.

She could understand Li Mochou not being able to stand the loneliness of the Ancient Tomb,

as she herself had not agreed to let her master take her back to the Ancient Tomb back then.

But Li Mochou's subsequent encounters were regrettable.

She had originally been a simple and kind girl,

but was trapped by love,

eventually becoming the ruthless "Red-Lian Fairy,"

and had always carried misunderstandings and resentment toward her master.

Lady Hu said with complex emotions:

"Mochou. The master's thoughts were already fully expressed in that."

Gu Hanyuan sighed lightly:

"Mochou is a woman worthy of pity; she just tends to get stuck in a dead end."

Lady Hu's expression softened significantly upon hearing this,

and she said gently:

"I must thank you for redeeming Mochou."

Gu Hanyuan said modestly:

"I only did some insignificant things."

Lady Hu's gaze toward Gu Hanyuan became increasingly soft,

so much so that she didn't even notice when he walked closer.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flashed upon seeing this,

and he said with an inexplicable tone:

"My Lady, would you like to know the clues to Hero Hu's murder?"

Lady Hu's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Previously, because she was vigilant about Gu Hanyuan's intentions,

she had never dared to trust him.

Now, with the connection of Xiaolongnü and Li Mochou,

she clearly trusted Gu Hanyuan much more.

Lady Hu bowed gracefully:

"Please tell me, Young Master Gu."

Gu Hanyuan said playfully:

"It is not impossible to tell you, my Lady, but there is a condition."

Lady Hu became vigilant again upon hearing this,

fearing that Gu Hanyuan would bring up the Chuang Wang treasure.

She asked in a low voice:

"What condition?"

Gu Hanyuan was indeed very interested in the Chuang Wang treasure,

but he wasn't in a hurry to get it from Lady Hu.

He said deeply:

"I just want to know your maiden name, my Lady." ===== CHAPTER 1199 =====
