Chapter 135

If Southern Murong Fu were to be implicated, they would not be able to escape either.

Gu Gu Hanyuan seemed to see through the two women's thoughts.

He comforted them directly:

"Miss A'zhu, Miss A'bi. You don't need to worry; I will not let innocent people like you be implicated."

The two women felt somewhat shy because of Gu Gu Hanyuan's sudden assurance.

Especially since he had just refused to help Wang Wang Yuyan a moment ago.

And then immediately said he would protect them.

By comparison, both their vanity and their girlish hearts were deeply pricked.

After thanking Gu Gu Hanyuan, the two women chatted with him, feeling slightly shy.

On the road, Gu Gu Hanyuan did not pay much attention to Wang Wang Yuyan, who was filled with worry.

Instead, he hit it off with A'zhu and A'bi.

By the time Wang Wang Yuyan came to her senses.

She actually felt as if she had been isolated.

Especially Gu Gu Hanyuan's indifferent attitude toward her made her feel particularly awkward.

When she was holed up in Mantuo Villa, Wang Wang Yuyan had no concept of her own beauty.

But ever since she snuck out of Mantuo Villa.

Not only was there Duan Yu, who waited on her hand and foot and treated her like a treasure.

Even when encountering ordinary people in the Wu Lin, she often attracted the gazes of men.

Even some married men found it hard to avoid.

She gradually understood what level of beauty she was in the eyes of others.

At the mill, because of Guo Fu, she hadn't thought much about it.

At this moment, even though she was right there beside the three of them.

Gu Gu Hanyuan only cared about chatting happily with A'zhu and A'bi.

However, Gu Gu Hanyuan's indifference instead drew her attention.

After listening for a little while.

Wang Wang Yuyan discovered that Gu Gu Hanyuan was not only witty but also knowledgeable.

He was well-versed in everything from astronomy and geography to romance, humanities, and gossip.

He could always find topics that interested the two women.

There was never a single boring moment.

At the very least, he was much more interesting than Southern Murong Fu, who only talked about national affairs, martial arts, and strategy all day long.

Duan Yu couldn't compare to him either.

Duan Yu's topics were always filled with flattery and fawning over Wang Wang Yuyan.

After listening for a long time, it was inevitable to feel a bit sick of it.

Therefore, Gu Gu Hanyuan appeared fresh and refined.

Wang Wang Yuyan actually felt a sudden envy for A'zhu and A'bi.

She didn't think Gu Gu Hanyuan had taken a fancy to the two women.

Even if they were as close as sisters, their statuses were different.

Just as Wang Wang Yuyan had never been jealous of the two women on Southern Murong Fu's account.

Gu Gu Hanyuan naturally noticed Wang Wang Yuyan's attention.

He played the game of "playing hard to get" to perfection.

He teased A'zhu and A'bi until they giggled incessantly.

Until Wang Wang Yuyan could no longer bear the loneliness.

She temporarily set aside her worries about Southern Murong Fu.

And joined the conversation of the three.

Gu Gu Hanyuan was not surprised by this.

Under his deliberate control.

He neither neglected A'zhu and A'bi.

Nor did he ignore Wang Wang Yuyan's thoughts.

Yet Wang Wang Yuyan had no defenses against Gu Gu Hanyuan because of Guo Fu.

Before long, she was coaxed by Gu Gu Hanyuan into calling him "Big Brother Gu."

Gu Gu Hanyuan also naturally addressed her as "Wang Yuyan."

If Duan Yu were to see this progress, he would probably be in tears.

Unfortunately, happy times are short-lived.

The distance from Wuxi to Gusu was not far.

Two days later, the four of them arrived at the shores of Taihu.

Before Gu Gu Hanyuan could find a boat to cross the lake, he heard a burst of fighting sounds.

"I'll go over and see what's happening; you all stay in the carriage and don't come down."

Gu Gu Hanyuan gave instructions to the three women.

The three women obediently agreed.

Gu Gu Hanyuan quickly arrived at the scene of the fight.

He saw a group of thieves dressed as bandits surrounding two young women.

The young woman in white was beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, and thin, rosy lips, but unfortunately, she had a slight limp, which was a flaw in her beauty.

The other young woman was dressed in green, elegant and refined, with a stunning appearance and a charming demeanor, her eyes clear and bright.

The young woman in white used a curved blade, but her style was that of a sword, and it was the Ancient Tomb Sword Art.

The young woman in green held a jade flute, her sword style graceful and handsome, specializing in attacking her opponent's acupoints.

These two women were Lu Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying.

It turned out that Gu Gu Hanyuan had intervened earlier, tricking Yang Guo into going to Lin'an ahead of time.

Li Mochou had also been left at the Ancient Tomb and did not go to hunt down Lu Lu Wushuang, who had stolen the "Five Poisons Secret Manual."

This caused Yang Guo and Lu Lu Wushuang to miss each other.

Seeing that Li Mochou did not come to hunt her down, Lu Lu Wushuang went to seek refuge with the Lu family of the Return Cloud Manor on Taihu, who were of the same clan.

Cheng Ying and Lu Lu Wushuang met on the way, and the two became companions.

The leader of those surrounding them held a pair of iron judge pens and occasionally used hidden weapons to interfere.

It was none other than "Thousand-Hand Human Butcher" Peng Peng Lianhu.

If it weren't for his fear of the "Flicking Finger Divine Skill" that Cheng Ying used from time to time, he would have captured them long ago.

At this moment, the two women were gradually feeling overwhelmed.

Especially Lu Lu Wushuang, who was in a critical situation.

Although the Ancient Tomb Sect's lightness skill was exquisite, her slight limp inevitably affected her dodging.

Li Mochou had taught Lu Lu Wushuang martial arts but had never put her heart into it, making her even worse off than Hong Hong Lingbo.

Peng Peng Lianhu saw an opening, and his iron judge pen was about to strike Lu Lu Wushuang.

Cheng Ying was entangled by Peng Peng Lianhu's subordinates and could not get away in time to rescue her.

Lu Lu Wushuang felt despair and was even more annoyed at her own limp.

However, she suddenly felt a suction force coming from behind her.

The iron judge pen was getting further and further away from her.

Immediately after, she fell into a warm embrace.

Looking up, she saw Gu Gu Hanyuan smiling gently at her.

Appreciating Gu Gu Hanyuan's handsome face at close range was not friendly to a young girl's physical and mental health.

Lu Lu Wushuang's face flushed instantly.

She felt she had never seen such a good-looking man.
