Chapter 1528: Wu Xingyun: Yun'er also wants to protect Master, wants to stand side by side with Master

Gu Hanyuan naturally did not have such a kind heart to really save Wen Tailai.

He brought Wen Tailai into a guest room and casually took out a few silver needles to insert.

Wen Tailai's life was immediately preserved.

However, it was only his life that was preserved.

His injuries were not light at all; having taken a full-force strike from Oboi, it was already a miracle that he had lasted until now.

The bones and tendons of his right arm, which had clashed with Oboi, were broken, nearly crippled.

Several meridians in his body were also shattered by Oboi's Qi, so even if he survived, he would be no different from a cripple.

An ordinary person would have died long ago from such injuries.

Gu Hanyuan even deliberately delayed the treatment until now with the intention of collecting a widow.

No wonder Wen Tailai in "Book and Sword" was nearly half a protagonist; one had to say his life was truly tough.

However, although a widow was good, a married woman with a dying, crippled husband was not far behind.

Thinking this, Gu Hanyuan gave Wen Tailai a few more needles.

He temporarily severed his central nervous system, making it impossible for him to wake up in the short term.

Gu Hanyuan wiped his hands with a towel and teased:

"Have you seen enough, Yun'er?"

As the words fell, Wu Xingyun's petite figure appeared in the shadows in the corner.

Wu Xingyun curled her lips and said:

"I thought you would just kill him directly, Master."

Gu Hanyuan said leisurely:

"Since Wen Tailai's life is tough enough to have lasted until now, there is no point in killing him."

Wu Xingyun narrowed her eyes and said with an inexplicable tone:

"Tsk, Master clearly has his eyes on someone else's wife, yet you say it so grandiosely. If you ask me, just carry her and throw her on the bed."

Wu Xingyun had followed Gu Hanyuan for so long that she had long since discovered that he seemed particularly interested in married women.

And it was not enough to steal their bodies; he had to steal their hearts as well.

Li Qiu, Li Qingluo, and Gan Baobao were all like this.

Wu Xingyun could not help but feel jealous.

The corners of Gu Hanyuan's mouth curled into a subtle arc.

He keenly noticed that while Wu Xingyun's tone was feigned contempt and jealousy, her delicate body was trembling slightly.

He beckoned with a gentle look.

Seeing this, Wu Xingyun could no longer hold back.

Pouting her small mouth, two lines of clear tears streamed down.

Shouting "Master," she threw herself into Gu Hanyuan's arms.

Amidst her heart-wrenching sobs, the front of Gu Hanyuan's clothes was instantly soaked.

Wu Xingyun said, sobbing uncontrollably:

"Master, Yun'er almost never saw you again!"

Even now, Wu Xingyun's heart was still full of lingering fear.

She had almost caused Gu Hanyuan's death.

Wu Xingyun had underestimated the power of the world's will and overestimated her own strength.

If not for Gu Hanyuan's hint and reminder, she would never have been able to wake up while facing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's suppression without any preparation.

There was a huge gap in strength between Wu Xingyun and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's soul fragment, and it was not impossible for her to be directly possessed.

Thanks to Gu Hanyuan's flash of inspiration at the Qianqing Palace, he had left a flaw in the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's soul fragment's heart through Wu Xingyun's body.

This caused the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's attention to fall entirely on Gu Hanyuan, making her lose vigilance toward Wu Xingyun, which gave her the opportunity for a desperate counterattack.

If not for Gu Hanyuan being one step ahead.

The final result would have been Gu Hanyuan being killed by Wu Xingyun, who was controlled by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, and Wu Xingyun either being possessed or, after waking up, being driven to collapse and commit suicide for love by the reality of having killed her lover with her own hands.

One could imagine the lingering fear in Wu Xingyun's heart; she felt more afraid the more she thought about it.

Her previous teasing and jealousy were just feigned composure.

At this moment, Wu Xingyun had none of the majesty of the Tianshan Child Elder or the appearance of a peerless goddess.

She was completely like a little girl who had caused trouble and was collapsing in tears due to guilt, self-reproach, and lingering fear.

Wu Xingyun's eyes were red, and there were tear stains on her delicate, jade-like face; her sorry state was very ugly.

However, in Gu Hanyuan's eyes, it was the most beautiful appearance.

Listening to that hoarse, sobbing voice, Gu Hanyuan felt a pang of heartache.

He gently wiped the tear stains from her face.

Kissing the cinnabar mark on her brow, he comforted her softly:

"Silly girl, I'm not that easy to kill."

Hearing this, Wu Xingyun's emotions finally calmed down a bit, but she still sobbed with self-reproach:

"But..."

"There are no 'buts.' This is not your fault. And I am your Master, Yun'er; I will protect you no matter what, and I will forgive you no matter what happens."

Gu Hanyuan held Wu Xingyun's petite body in his arms as if holding a child, his voice becoming increasingly gentle.

He carried Wu Xingyun back to his bedroom.

After all, having an unconscious Wen Tailai lying nearby was quite off-putting.

With his peerless lightness skill, he naturally did not alert anyone during this time.

Wu Xingyun's arms were naturally wrapped around Gu Hanyuan's neck.

Listening to Gu Hanyuan's gentle words, she was moved beyond measure.

Her brilliant, starry eyes were filled with deep affection.

She sniffed quite cutely, still sobbing as she muttered:

"But Yun'er also wants to protect Master, wants to stand side by side with Master."

Gu Hanyuan stroked Wu Xingyun's pretty face and said softly:

"Yun'er's talent is peerless; catching up to me is just a matter of time..."

Wu Xingyun's talent had seemed to erupt like a volcano ever since she broke free from the shackles of her own fate.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to break through to the Earth Immortal realm in just a few months.

As for catching up to Gu Hanyuan, that was purely comfort.

Although Gu Hanyuan's internal energy cultivation was still stuck at the peak of the Grandmaster realm.

But he had already gone further and further on the path of cultivating immortality.

According to the terminology of cultivating immortality, Gu Hanyuan had already passed the Qi Refining stage and was currently in Foundation Establishment.

While Wu Xingyun was still lingering in Qi Refining, and it would be difficult for her to catch up to Gu Hanyuan, who had the help of a system, without special opportunities.

Just like the battle in the imperial palace earlier, before the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden appeared.

Although Gu Hanyuan was suppressed by the Qing Guo dragon vein, his internal energy circulation was sluggish, and his strength dropped sharply.

But if he used his spiritual power to perform the "Sword Control Art," Wu Xingyun, controlled by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, would still be defeated instantly.

It could be said that when using internal energy and when using spiritual power, Gu Hanyuan's strength was completely worlds apart.

Wu Xingyun said with some discouragement at this moment:

"But I even had to rely on Master scheming against the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden to learn the 'Heaven-Extinguishing and Earth-Destroying Sword Twenty-Three'."

Gu Hanyuan smiled indifferently:

"Silly girl, you cultivate the Sword Dao of Emotion; it is naturally very difficult to enter the Sword Dao of Ruthlessness. In fact, this is a rare opportunity for you."

Both the Sword Dao of Emotion and the Sword Dao of Ruthlessness could reach extremely high realms by walking to the extremes. ===== CHAPTER 1530 =====
