Chapter 1541

~7 min read 1,266 words

The reputations of divine physicians like Ping Yizhi in the Jianghu were resounding.

Seeing Luo Bing had also heard of them.

But these divine physicians were not only hard to track down, but their rules were also one more eccentric than the next.

How could they be more trustworthy than Gu Hanyuan, who was right in front of her?

Just as Seeing Luo Bing was struggling, Gu Hanyuan's indifferent voice sounded in her ear.

"Wen Tailai should wake up before long; you can go take care of him first. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company."

Listening to the detachment in Gu Hanyuan's words, Seeing Luo Bing felt a sudden ache in her heart.

Looking at his slightly pale complexion, she felt even more guilty.

She said urgently:

"I didn't mean it earlier."

Gu Hanyuan's change in attitude stemmed from her previous suspicion.

If she hadn't felt that it would be of no use, she would rather have let Gu Hanyuan hold her hand again.

Compared to being taken advantage of a little, Gu Hanyuan's attitude troubled her even more.

Gu Hanyuan sensed the change in Seeing Luo Bing's mindset, and the playfulness in his eyes flashed and vanished.

He said in a slightly deep tone:

"Precisely because you didn't mean it, it was your true thought. Do you also regard me as a villain who would stop at nothing to covet your beauty?"

Hmm, Wen Tailai, whose injuries weren't originally this severe but had been crippled by Gu Hanyuan, should have something to say right now.

Of course, Seeing Luo Bing, who didn't know the truth, only felt a sense of extreme bitterness in her heart.

In a moment of urgency, she blurted out without thinking:

"Young Master Gu saved Fourth Brother after all; as long as it is within my power, I will certainly do my best to repay you."

As soon as the words left her lips, Seeing Luo Bing realized her promise seemed to have gone too far.

Before she could add an explanation, Gu Hanyuan, who was before her, had already leaned in close.

Her slender, soft, and resilient waist was embraced by him.

A few strands of hair at her temples were being played with in his hand.

Looking at Gu Hanyuan's flawless, handsome face from close range, Seeing Luo Bing's pretty face flushed uncontrollably.

She saw Gu Hanyuan whisper playfully:

"Is this kind of repayment also acceptable?"

"Young... Young Master Gu... I didn't mean that..."

The large hand on her waist made Seeing Luo Bing's delicate body feel somewhat weak, unable to muster the strength to struggle.

The hesitation in her mouth also seemed to become a disguised invitation.

"Then what did you mean?"

Gu Hanyuan's face leaned in even closer.

Those deep eyes were like an abyss that could suck a person's soul into them.

Seeing Luo Bing couldn't help but lose her focus.

"Is he going to kiss me?"

Thinking this, her heart began to beat wildly.

His warm breath fell on the tip of her nose, making her earlobes burn red.

There was a feeling on her lips of almost touching, almost brushing.

It felt like a hallucination, and yet it felt as if she had already been tasted by the man before her.

Seeing Luo Bing closed her beautiful eyes slightly.

A thought flashed through her mind.

"Forget it, let's just consider it the reward for saving Fourth Brother."

Under Gu Hanyuan's deliberate guidance, Seeing Luo Bing's emotional defenses were thrown into chaos by her rapidly changing feelings.

As long as her bottom line wasn't touched, she couldn't muster even a hint of resentment.

Seeing Luo Bing had prepared herself mentally to be molested, but her earlobes suddenly felt cool.

That strand of hair held in Gu Hanyuan's hand was tucked behind her ear by him.

The warmth at her waist was gone, she didn't know when.

A cool breeze blew by, bringing Gu Hanyuan's voice, which hid gentleness beneath its plainness.

"I admire you, Madam, but I am even less willing to hurt your heart."

Seeing Luo Bing, who had opened her beautiful eyes in astonishment, looked at his back, which was already several steps away.

A gentle breeze blew, and the hairband that held his ink-black hair together danced lightly in the wind.

That upright back gave her a sense of loneliness, "independent and aloof from the world."

Although Seeing Luo Bing had prepared herself to be molested earlier, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.

She didn't know where her disappointment came from, but she subconsciously felt a sense of heartache.

However, when Gu Hanyuan really let her go as she had wished,

looking at that back, she felt a sense of loss that she couldn't shake for a long time.

Seeing Luo Bing, with her beautiful eyes lost in thought, murmured:

"Young Master Gu..."

"I will think of another way for Wen Tailai's injuries. I imagine that when he wakes up, he would certainly hope that his beautiful wife could be by his side."

Gu Hanyuan did not turn around, his words plain yet leaving Seeing Luo Bing somewhat at a loss.

For some reason, she suddenly had the thought that she didn't want to hear Wen Tailai's name right now.

That would make her feel ashamed and guilty.

With a thought of escaping, Seeing Luo Bing said in a low voice:

"Thank you, Young Master Gu, I will take my leave now."

Seeing Luo Bing clenched the lapels of her clothes, forcing herself to endure her still-unsettled heartbeat, and walked past Gu Hanyuan.

No matter how hard she tried to remain calm, her gait inevitably became a bit uncoordinated.

Looking at the peach-like, slender back before him,

Gu Hanyuan curled his lips into a playful arc.

Such a delicious married woman, how could he not steal both the person and the heart?

As for Wen Tailai.

He did have a bit of heroic spirit, but could he withstand the blow of having his meridians severed and becoming a cripple?

For Jianghu people who possess martial arts, this is a torture worse than death.

Even Yu Daiyan was tortured into a state of depression.

None of the Seven Heroes of Wudang had a tainted sense of righteousness.

Yet even so, in the original plot of *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*, Yu Daiyan had to bear heavy responsibility for the deaths of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu.

If it weren't for his inability to endure the resentment in his heart, how could he have caused Zhang Cuishan to commit suicide?

Zhang Cuishan didn't just do it to keep the secret of Xie Xun's whereabouts; more importantly, he couldn't face Yu Daiyan.

Otherwise, with Zhang Sanfeng in charge, what could the Shaolin Sect have done no matter how much they pressured him?

Did they really think Zhang Sanfeng was a pushover?

In this world, Yu Daiyan could forgive Yin Susu so easily because he had been cured of his disability.

Otherwise, even if the pressure from the Shaolin Sect was resolved, Zhang Cuishan would still have been unable to escape the ending of committing suicide to apologize.

Even so, it caused a rift in the relationship between Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, giving Gu Hanyuan an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

This was just a reenactment in another way.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered for a moment, and he suddenly said calmly:

"Have you seen enough?"

A delicate, gentle, and slightly weak female voice sounded.

"I didn't mean to, Young Master."
