Chapter 1205

Her jealousy also vanished into thin air.

Looking at An Xiaohui again,

she was no longer as sharp as before.

As long as Wen Qingqing wasn't jealous and throwing a tantrum,

her IQ was still online,

or perhaps even remarkably sharp.

Wen Qingqing's thoughts raced.

Thinking about it carefully,

An Xiaohui's threat to her was actually not very great.

Not to mention that she was superior in appearance,

there was a difference in the level of intimacy with Gu Hanyuan.

Even if An Xiaohui already had a substantive relationship,

women were particularly sensitive in this regard.

An Xiaohui's disappointed expression proved this point.

The ones truly worthy of Wen Qingqing's vigilance were the women Gu Hanyuan had previously.

Judging others by herself,

they, as latecomers, might not necessarily be accepted.

An Xiaohui, who could be considered a contemporary, became the object she wanted to win over.

Therefore, Wen Qingqing took the initiative to show goodwill:

"Miss Xiaohui, can you help me? My hair was messed up too much by Brother Gu, and I can't handle it alone."

That weak and aggrieved look had quite a bit of Wen Yi's charm,

and her approachability immediately rose several levels.

An Xiaohui was startled at first,

then immediately understood Wen Qingqing's thoughts

and accepted her goodwill.

She smiled gently:

"Alright, I'll help you."

As she spoke, she stepped forward to help Wen Qingqing groom her hair,

praising her while doing so:

"Qingqing's hair quality is really good; no wonder Brother Gu likes to stroke it so much."

An Xiaohui also took the initiative to change how she addressed her,

drawing the two closer,

thinking in her heart about huddling together for warmth.

Hearing this, Wen Qingqing said shyly:

"Brother Gu clearly just likes to tease me. If it weren't for Xiaohui's help, it would be such a bother."

Gu Hanyuan had merely chosen to be closer to Wen Qingqing,

dissolving the rivalry between the two women into nothingness,

turning them into good sisters with a harmonious atmosphere.

Gu Hanyuan soon arrived at the main hall.

As soon as Wen Fangda saw Gu Hanyuan,

he greeted him enthusiastically:

"We have been busy with other matters these past two days and have neglected you, Young Master Gu. Please forgive us."

Gu Hanyuan did not care about Wen Fangda's enthusiasm.

His eyes swept over the Five Elders of the Wen family.

Even though they hid it well,

it could not escape Gu Hanyuan's keen eyes.

Every one of the Five Elders of the Wen family was injured,

and one could faintly smell a hint of blood.

Their internal injuries were also either light or heavy;

in short, not a single one of them was healthy.

It seemed they had suffered quite a few losses at the hands of Yuan Chengzhi.

And that was indeed the case.

The Five Elders of the Wen family had pursued Yuan Chengzhi,

wanting to force him to reveal the whereabouts of Xia Xueyi and the Jianwen Emperor's treasure.

Yuan Chengzhi had suffered a setback at Gu Hanyuan's place,

inevitably leading him to doubt his own martial arts.

The Five Elements Array of the Five Elders of the Wen family was indeed tricky,

so Yuan Chengzhi initially tried to avoid them as much as possible.

However, the Five Elders of the Wen family pursued too urgently,

forcing Yuan Chengzhi to fight.

The Five Elders of the Wen family were like little monsters delivering experience points.

As time passed,

the "Golden Snake Sword Technique" in Yuan Chengzhi's hands became increasingly proficient,

and he soon thought of a way to break the Five Elements Array.

While wounding the Five Elders of the Wen family, he also restored the self-confidence that had been battered by Gu Hanyuan.

He had been so miserable facing Gu Hanyuan

not because he was too weak,

but because Gu Hanyuan was too strong.

Seeing that even Yuan Chengzhi, who had been easily handled by Gu Hanyuan, had made them suffer such a great loss, the Five Elders of the Wen family

became even more determined not to fight Gu Hanyuan head-on.

Their return this time was precisely to continue implementing the beauty trap.

However, two days had already passed since the matter of Wen Yi,

and they didn't know how to bring it up for a moment.

Seeing this, Gu Hanyuan

decided to be a little more proactive;

otherwise, testing each other back and forth was a pure waste of time.

Therefore, he smiled faintly:

"Haven't you already sent a pretty good gift? I have been treated very well these past few days."
