Chapter 137: You won't be pretty if you keep crying

Cheng Ying looked at the weeping Lu Lu Wushuang with some worry.

Seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan suddenly lean in, she did not stop him.

Intelligent and empathetic, she could better sense the thoughts of others.

After confirming that Gu Gu Hanyuan was harmless, she naturally wouldn't be so vigilant.

Gu Gu Hanyuan placed his hand on the hair on top of Lu Lu Wushuang's head and stroked it gently, his voice warm and gentle, as if it could soothe the human heart.

"Since Mochou intends to repent, then I will pay for her sins. I will shoulder her hatred. If you want revenge, you can come to me at any time."

Lu Lu Wushuang felt the warmth coming from her hair.

She looked up at Gu Gu Hanyuan's gentle, smiling face.

Feeling his fingers stroking her cheek, wiping away her tears.

"Stop crying; you won't be pretty if you keep crying."

"Who... who is crying?"

Lu Lu Wushuang retorted stubbornly.

But that sad emotion was magically soothed away just like that.

The sensation of his fingertips made her heart feel a bit numb.

Thinking that he had just complimented her on being pretty.

Her complexion was no longer pale, but rather rosy.

When Gu Gu Hanyuan took his hand away, she actually felt a slight reluctance.

"And Miss Cheng as well, if there is anything you need me to do, feel free to bring it up. You are also a victim of Mochou."

Cheng Ying did not expect Gu Gu Hanyuan to still remember her.

Although she also hated Li Mochou.

But with her calm and gentle nature, she did not view hatred as that important.

Moreover, Gu Gu Hanyuan had just saved her.

Seeing this, she thanked him softly:

"Young Master Gu, thank you for saving us just now."

Cheng Ying did not mention Li Mochou, looking after Lu Lu Wushuang's emotions.

Gu Gu Hanyuan asked curiously:

"Come to think of it, how did you end up here?"

"Oh no."

Lu Lu Wushuang exclaimed.

She had been too shocked by the matter regarding Li Mochou just now.

So she hadn't reacted for a moment.

Only after hearing Gu Gu Hanyuan's question did she remember the important business.

Cheng Ying explained to Gu Gu Hanyuan:

"Earlier, a foreign monk was inexplicably spreading the word that Swallow Dock and Mantuo Villa were hiding a large number of divine martial arts manuals. This attracted many people from the Wu Lin to come and snatch them. Return Cloud Manor is also on Taihu, and for some reason, it was targeted. We were breaking out to seek reinforcements."

Gu Gu Hanyuan understood as soon as he heard it.

It was most likely that Jiumozhi had been refused when he wanted to view the martial arts manuals at the Hall of Returning Virtues.

And then he heard that there were also a large number of martial arts manuals in the Langhuan Blessed Land.

It would damage his reputation too much to attack openly.

Therefore, he intended to borrow the hands of the people in the Wu Lin who coveted the martial arts manuals.

As for Return Cloud Manor, it might not just be collateral damage.

Gu Gu Hanyuan asked:

"Who was the person leading the siege against you just now?"

"'Thousand-Hand Human Butcher' Peng Peng Lianhu."

As soon as Gu Gu Hanyuan heard Cheng Ying mention Peng Peng Lianhu, he knew what was going on.

Peng Peng Lianhu had always been under the jurisdiction of Prince Zhao Wanyan Wanyan Honglie of the Jin state.

In this world, the Jin state had not been destroyed.

Wanyan Wanyan Honglie was therefore still alive.

The Jin state had always had the intention of invading the Song state from the south.

Taihu had a vast area, and roads extended in all directions.

It was very easy to hide an elite force.

Whether it was to pincer-attack Xiangyang or launch a surprise attack on Lin'an, there were opportunities.

Although Return Cloud Manor's strength was not considered strong.

It had recruited many Taihu bandits.

If the Jin state could control Return Cloud Manor, it would be even easier to hide.

And by attacking Return Cloud Manor while people from the Wu Lin were attacking Swallow Dock and Mantuo Villa, they could pretend to be collateral damage.

Reducing the vigilance of others.

Gu Gu Hanyuan also set his sights on Return Cloud Manor.

"So that's how it is. I have important business to verify at Swallow Dock this time, and I'm also dropping off the young lady from Mantuo Villa."

"The situation at Taihu is chaotic now. Miss Cheng, please go to the carriage in the back and look after Miss Wang and the others. I will take Lu Wushuang to rescue Return Cloud Manor."

Seeing Cheng Ying agree, Gu Gu Hanyuan said to Lu Lu Wushuang:

"Lu Wushuang, please lead the way for me."

As he said this, he swept her into his arms amidst her exclamation.

"Time is pressing, excuse me."

Gu Gu Hanyuan took a step, covering several yards.

Even while carrying someone, his posture remained as graceful as an immortal.

Cheng Ying saw clearly from behind the two, exclaiming:

"With such supreme lightness skill, no wonder he can be famous in the Wu Lin. It's just a pity I couldn't see his rumored unfathomable sword art."

Cheng Ying's expression was somewhat inexplicable.

Over the past month, no matter where she went, she would hear Gu Gu Hanyuan's name.

Even someone as quiet and indifferent as her could not help but feel curious and respectful toward Gu Gu Hanyuan.

After truly meeting him, she was not only amazed by Gu Gu Hanyuan's more handsome appearance and stronger martial arts than rumored.

That unique temperament, different from ordinary people in the Wu Lin, left an even deeper impression on her.

She thought: No wonder he could dissolve Li Mochou's hatred and make her fall in love with him.

Take Lu Lu Wushuang, for example.

Cheng Ying and she were cousins and had been close since childhood.

Don't look at Lu Lu Wushuang's appearance of hating Li Mochou...

But she had no resistance to Gu Gu Hanyuan's closeness.

If any other man had touched her, she would have hacked at them long ago.

Yet, she was soothed by Gu Gu Hanyuan just now.

Cheng Ying would not believe it if Lu Lu Wushuang didn't have a good impression of Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Especially when she saw the three beautiful women who emerged from the carriage, each with their own merits.

She had a new understanding of Gu Gu Hanyuan's romantic luck.

On this side, after the initial shock, Lu Lu Wushuang became interested in Gu Gu Hanyuan's magical lightness skill.

That feeling of moving at lightning speed fascinated her.

The Ancient Tomb Sect's martial arts were primarily based on agility, and their lightness skill was a specialty.

But because of her limp, her lightness skill was always average.

To avoid the wind blowing into her mouth.

Lu Lu Wushuang leaned close to Gu Gu Hanyuan's ear and said:

"How is your lightness skill so powerful?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan said with a smile:

"Want to learn?"

Lu Lu Wushuang perked up as soon as she heard this.

"Can you teach me?"

"I am your grand-master, why can't I teach you?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan's eyes held a playful glint.

He deliberately mentioned the word "grand-master."

Sure enough, Lu Lu Wushuang lost interest instantly, her expression listless.

Especially when she looked at Gu Gu Hanyuan's handsome profile.
