Chapter 1245

"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Gu, but I am afraid Junior Sister Zhiruo will blame us for stealing her Brother Gu."

Her sweet smile carried a faint sense of distance.

It was clear that Shi Xiuyun's initial impression of Gu Hanyuan was not high.

Gu Hanyuan grew almost exactly on Ye Xiuzhu's aesthetic,

so she gave in very quickly.

But Shi Xiuyun, relatively speaking, didn't have much feeling for him.

She also thought Gu Hanyuan was very good-looking and excellent,

but he lacked the component that would make her heart flutter.

In her eyes,

Gu Hanyuan's light was too bright;

one careless move and she would be burned by him.

Shi Xiuyun was like a little deer that had just walked out of the forest;

sensing the danger of the outside world, she timidly withdrew her steps,

silently watching the back of her companion running toward him.

Ye Xiuzhu's expression became awkward upon hearing this.

The warning in Shi Xiuyun's words was very clear,

and for a moment, she was speechless.

Some things could be thought, but not said.

Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan spoke in time to alleviate her embarrassment:

"The Wudang Sect and the Emei Sect have a very good private relationship; you are of the same generation as me, so calling me 'Senior Brother' is always appropriate, right?"

Shi Xiuyun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

She didn't want to appear too close, but she was worried about offending Gu Hanyuan.

Seeing him take a step back proactively and understandingly,

and considering that what he said was reasonable,

Shi Xiuyun no longer resisted.

She said warmly:

"Xiuyun greets Senior Brother Gu."

Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction:

"Please wait a moment, two junior sisters; allow me to handle the matter at hand."

Seeing the two women nod in agreement,

Gu Hanyuan turned to the nervous Min Zihua.

However, the moment he turned,

a dark light flickered in his eyes.

Shi Xiuyun's reaction was slightly unexpected,

but the more unique she was,

the more Gu Hanyuan wanted to obtain her.

A playful smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.

By the time he looked at Min Zihua, he had quickly put on a cold face,

and said coldly:

"Gu will protect Jiao Gongli. Min Zihua, do you have any objections? Or do you want to use your Xiandu Sect's 'Yin-Yang Sword Technique' to ask for advice?"

Many joint attack sword techniques involving Yin and Yang in this world were called "Yin-Yang Sword Technique."

Some were strong, some were weak.

The strong ones could challenge those of a higher level,

while the weak ones were just for show.

The Xiandu Sect's "Yin-Yang Sword Technique" belonged to the weaker kind.

Yuan Chengzhi could easily toy with them.

If Min Zihua were to display the "Yin-Yang Sword Technique" in front of Gu Hanyuan, it would simply be showing off before an expert.

Not to mention that Gu Hanyuan's current Sword Dao cultivation was far beyond his,

just the fact that Gu Hanyuan was from the Wudang Sect made him afraid to overestimate himself.

Therefore, Min Zihua said with cold sweat in fear:

"I dare not. Since Young Master Gu is willing to stand as guarantor for Jiao Gongli, how could I have any objections?"

He was certainly still unwilling.

After all, he had gone to such great lengths, only to end up with such an inconclusive result.

Not only did he fail to get revenge, but he also lost face.

However, he dared not show it on his face.

He wore a respectful and obedient expression, as if the grudge had been wiped clean.

A satisfied arc appeared at the corner of Gu Hanyuan's mouth.

He laughed lightly:

"I know you are not convinced in your heart. Go back and take a look at the residence in the alley south of Jin Ling City, and you will understand everything."

First force, then courtesy.

He had already displayed enough power,

so there was naturally no need to make himself appear unreasonable.

Min Zihua was stunned upon hearing this,

feeling both confused and panicked.

The panic contained two aspects.

Although Gu Hanyuan didn't explain it completely,

Min Zihua had hidden a concubine he had recently taken in that residence in the south of the city.

Taking a concubine at his age would inevitably invite ridicule.

Now that Gu Hanyuan knew about it,

he felt as if his handle had been grasped.

Secondly, Min Zihua suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Gu Hanyuan wouldn't ask him to go there for no reason.

Min Zihua subconsciously felt it wasn't a good thing.

In fact, this concubine had been gifted to Min Zihua by the Taibai Twins

as a bargaining chip to win him over.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily persuaded to summon his relatives and friends with great fanfare to seek revenge on Jiao Gongli.

Gu Hanyuan had captured the Taibai Twins there last night,

so it naturally wouldn't be a harmonious scene.

The Taibai Twins had hidden many secret letters between them and the Qing Guo there,

as well as the plan targeting the Jin Long Gang.

So Min Zihua would inevitably be convinced after going there,

and would even owe Gu Hanyuan a huge favor.

Not only had he been told the truth, but such a shameful matter hadn't been publicized.

Min Zihua would inevitably be obedient to Gu Hanyuan from now on.

Although the Xiandu Sect was not strong, they had extensive friendships,

and their influence in the Sanjiang area was not small.

Gu Hanyuan naturally wouldn't let them go.

Gu Hanyuan didn't pay attention to Min Zihua's psychological activities,

but turned to look at Jiao Wan'er, who was both happy and hesitant.

He smiled warmly: ===== CHAPTER 1247 =====
