Chapter 143

However, Ling Shuanghua liked Ding Dian's righteousness, and after hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, she knew he would definitely not agree.

She endured the sorrow and said:

"Wutian, don't say any more. Let Brother Ding go, I will agree to you."

Gu Hanyuan didn't have the pride of getting what he wanted, but instead said contemptuously to Ding Dian:

"You are still dragging Miss Ling down with the righteousness in your heart. Since she is not the most important thing in your heart, don't talk about love or anything. The so-called husband and wife on the road to the Yellow Springs is just your self-satisfaction. Ding Dian, you are too arrogant. I look down on you."

Ding Dian's face was painful, but he couldn't refute.

At this moment, Ling Tuisi, who heard the movement, had already brought people to rush over, and after seeing Ding Dian who couldn't get up, his eyes flickered and he called people to take him away.

Seeing Ding Dian being taken away, Ling Shuanghua breathed a sigh of relief, at least he wouldn't die here.

But after seeing Gu Hanyuan close the door, she became nervous again, her hands clenched and twisting her sleeves.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan didn't pounce on her, but sat on a stool in the room, poured himself a cup, opened the lower half of his mask, and sipped slowly.

While she breathed a sigh of relief, she was also curious about this person.

She looked at the half of his face exposed under the mask and unexpectedly found that he should be very young.

Young, but his martial arts were ridiculously high; although she didn't understand what kind of martial arts counted as high, emitting sword Qi at will was not something an ordinary person could do.

Gu Hanyuan broke the silence first, took out a pure white pill, and handed it to Ling Shuanghua.

"Eat it."

Seeing Ling Shuanghua's hesitant face, he said again:

"Don't need me to threaten you again, right?"

After hearing this, Ling Shuanghua's face turned ugly, but she still honestly took the pill and ate it.

"What did you give me to eat?"

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Gu Hanyuan's mouth under the mask.

"A pill to help the mood."

The simple four words shocked Ling Shuanghua, and she subconsciously hugged her hands to block her chest.

"I lied to you."

Gu Hanyuan chuckled and tapped the table.

"Sit down and chat with me."

Ling Shuanghua hesitated for a moment before sitting down, burying the worry about eating the unknown pill in her heart for the time being.

Fortunately, just chatting was better than really doing something.

"Chat about what?"

"Chat about anything. Or if you have anything you want to ask."

Gu Hanyuan turned the cup, his tone completely indifferent.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Ling Shuanghua had to find a topic.

"Why did you want Brother Ding to agree to those three conditions?"

"It was just a test. In fact, even if Ding Dian agreed, I wouldn't want it. With my martial arts, do you think I still need a secret manual that I injured with one move after practicing it?"

Ling Shuanghua thought for a while and shook her head; this was not something difficult to understand.

"The secret of the 'Liancheng Jue' treasure has already been deciphered by me; what's the point of listening to it again? As for Di Yun in prison, he still has some use for me; even if Ding Dian agreed, I wouldn't let him kill him."

"Since that's the case, why did you still want Brother Ding to agree to you?"

Ling Shuanghua was very confused.

"I wanted an answer."

"An answer?"

"I said before that Ding Dian is just arrogant; I look down on him."

Ling Shuanghua's face was ugly.

"Was it just to confirm Brother Ding's arrogance?"

"Because I'm not reconciled."

Gu Hanyuan stared at Ling Shuanghua when he said this.

He did look down on Ding Dian, but he appreciated Ling Shuanghua very much and didn't want her to end up being buried alive.

Ling Shuanghua was stared at until her face turned red, because the appreciation in those eyes was still clearly visible.

However, she couldn't understand what Gu Hanyuan meant by "not reconciled."

Ling Shuanghua's eyes flickered before she asked:

"Do you like me?"

"Yes."

Gu Hanyuan replied without hesitation.

"Then why are you indifferent even though I agreed? Is it because you are afraid to see this face of mine?"

Ling Shuanghua said and took off her veil.

Gu Hanyuan looked at her, a subtle arc appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Turn your head and look at the mirror over there."

Ling Shuanghua subconsciously did as Gu Hanyuan said.

The next moment, tears fell from Ling Shuanghua's eyes, and she covered her mouth with her hand.
