Chapter 1248

"I dare not. I am Zhang Yingfeng; I have met Young Master Gu."

Gu Hanyuan laughed lightly:

"So it is the leader of the 'Three Heroes of Emei'; I have long admired your name."

At Gu Hanyuan's flattery,

even Zhang Yingfeng, with his steady personality, couldn't help but feel happy.

He said with a look of shame:

"I only have a thin reputation; how can I deserve such undeserved praise from Young Master Gu?"

The two engaged in a round of commercial flattery.

Shi Xiuyun felt a bit bored watching this,

and suddenly said:

"Senior Brother Gu, today's matter is finished, so we should take our leave."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered,

and he smiled warmly:

"Why is Junior Sister Xiuyun in such a hurry? If you have no urgent matters, why not rest in the Jin Long Gang for two days? Let Gang Leader Jiao play the host."

Jiao Gongli was a man who understood human relationships.

Upon hearing this, he hurriedly said:

"Young Master Gu is right. You all came from thousands of miles away because of my matter. Please give me a chance to entertain you."

Shi Xiuyun wanted to say something else,

but Zhang Yingfeng said in advance:

"Since Young Master Gu and Gang Leader Jiao have invited us, how can we refuse? We will stay and bother you for a few days."

Shi Xiuyun's delicate brows furrowed,

clearly quite dissatisfied with Zhang Yingfeng's unauthorized agreement.

But this trip was led by Zhang Yingfeng,

so since he had already agreed, Shi Xiuyun naturally couldn't say much more.

Ye Xiuzhu, however, had her beautiful eyes shining, happy to be able to stay by Gu Hanyuan's side for a while longer.

Gu Hanyuan felt her gaze

and responded with a gentle smile,

which again caused her to blush and feel shy.

The rest of the crowd naturally wasn't worth Gu Hanyuan's effort to keep.

Min Zihua, in a hurry to go to the residence in the alley south of the city, was the first to propose leaving.

Not long after,

these irrelevant people left cleanly.

And Miss Jiao Wan'er also took the three Emei Sect members to arrange guest rooms.

Of course, when passing by Gu Hanyuan, the two exchanged glances.

Gu Hanyuan's smile was playful,

while Miss Jiao Wan'er's face was flushed with shame.

Gu Hanyuan also handed the reluctant Wen Qingqing to Miss Jiao Wan'er to entertain,

and with a flash of his body, he left the Jin Long Gang.

His goal was naturally the Huashan Sword Sect members.

Gu Hanyuan soon found them in the woods on the outskirts of Jin Ling City.

The location looked familiar;

it was precisely where Gui Xinshu and his wife had rested last night.

Gu Hanyuan hid in the shadows and looked at the Huashan Sword Sect members.

Most eye-catching were two old men with white hair and beards;

one had the air of an immortal, and the other was free and natural.

They were precisely Mu Renqing and Daoist Musang.

At this moment, Mu Renqing was reprimanding Gui Xinshu and his wife,

and Daoist Musang was also chiming in from the side.

Gui Xinshu and his wife both looked very ugly,

unconvinced in their hearts but not daring to refute.

Sun Zhongjun and Mei Jianhe were standing to the side, lowering their heads in anxiety.

Yuan Chengzhi had recovered some of his usual spirit,

although he felt ashamed that he still needed Mu Renqing and Daoist Musang to stand up for him in the end,

but he had vented some of his anger because of this.

Mu Renqing finished reprimanding Gui Xinshu and his wife,

then turned to glare at Sun Zhongjun,

shouting sternly:

"Why did you cut off someone else's arm for no reason! You also killed the five members of Hong Shenghai's family, and now even he himself has lost his life at your hands! Just from your nickname 'Flying Sky Demoness,' one can imagine your usual conduct! Hong Shenghai is gone, but the Jin Long Gang needs an explanation, so I will take your arm to pay for it."

The current situation was vastly different from the original plot.

Yuan Chengzhi hadn't resolved the Jin Long Gang's crisis, nor had he found an opportunity to show favor to Luo Liru.

At this moment, he didn't even have the confidence to plead for Sun Zhongjun.

As for Gui Xinshu and his wife, although they were eager to take the blame, they were ignored by Mu Renqing.

Sun Zhongjun was truly afraid now.

Her face, usually ruthless and heartless, was now full of panic and unease,

even possessing a bit of a woman's weakness and helplessness.

Mu Renqing said coldly:

"Where is your sword?"

Sun Zhongjun understood Mu Renqing's meaning upon hearing this;

he intended to use her sword to cut off her arm.

But Sun Zhongjun didn't dare to resist at all now.

She handed over her long sword tremblingly.

She had already foreseen her end, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes,

closing her eyes tightly in fear.

However, the pain she imagined didn't come.

She only heard a crisp sound of a long sword snapping.

Her waist had already been embraced by a large hand,

and a cold, chilling voice sounded in her ear:

"Mu Renqing, even such a beautiful grand-disciple is willing to have her arm severed; why not give her to me?"

Everyone saw the figure that had suddenly appeared and changed color, exclaiming:

"Wutian!"

PS: Wutian's long-awaited appearance. The plot everyone loves to see is coming tomorrow. My body hasn't been comfortable since I got infected; I keep feeling dizzy, and a few hours pass by the time I wake up. B.
