Chapter 1237: Gui Erniang is still quite fair

Gu Hanyuan glanced with interest at Wen Qingqing, who was enjoying the show.

Yuan Chengzhi's embarrassment was precisely caused by Wen Qingqing.

The longer Gu Hanyuan spent in this world, the more he understood one truth:

many things are interconnected, and pulling one hair affects the whole body.

The butterfly effect could be seen everywhere.

Originally, Yuan Chengzhi should have made a big splash at the Wen family,

then Wen Yi would have appeared to tell Wen Qingqing the truth about her background.

Afterward, Wen Qingqing would have discovered the Great Gong Workshop treasure with Yuan Chengzhi and appeared at the Jin Long Gang to save the day.

However, because Gu Hanyuan had intervened,

Yuan Chengzhi had missed important plot points from the very beginning.

Without Wen Qingqing, the daughter of Xia Xueyi, to endorse him,

it was against the rules for Yuan Chengzhi to use the Golden Snake Gentleman's weapons and techniques under the name of the Huashan Sword Sect.

So much so that Min Zihua's ordinary question left Yuan Chengzhi awkwardly speechless.

Only now did everyone discover the unique features of the golden hidden weapon.

The hidden weapon was made entirely of gold and was about two inches and eight fen long.

It was fashioned into the shape of a snake with its head raised and tongue flicking, the tip of the snake's tongue split into two forks, each fork a barb.

It was precisely the "Golden Snake Cone," the famous hidden weapon of Xia Xueyi from back then.

Jiao Gongli asked with great joy:

"Could it be that you, nephew, are a high disciple of our benefactor?"

Jiao Gongli's question eased Yuan Chengzhi's embarrassment

and also forced him to make a decision.

He shook his head and denied it, saying:

"I am merely a lucky person who obtained some of the Golden Snake Gentleman's legacies."

This explanation was the extent of Yuan Chengzhi's wit.

It was equivalent to having found someone else's lost property.

Yuan Chengzhi naturally possessed the right to use it.

The biggest flaw was that, in terms of logic, he was not Xia Xueyi's successor.

If Wen Qingqing were to demand it from him in her capacity as Xia Xueyi's daughter, Yuan Chengzhi wouldn't even be able to find a reason to refuse.

Gu Hanyuan, watching the show from the shadows, felt the smile at the corner of his mouth become increasingly playful.

Jiao Gongli said with grief:

"So the benefactor has already passed away. How painful, how regrettable."

He wasn't truly sad because of Xia Xueyi;

Xia Xueyi had been missing for more than ten years, so his death was within expectations. ===== CHAPTER 1239 =====
