Chapter 156: Eating a melon that turns out to be your own

Yet after entering the restaurant, Gu Hanyuan only glanced at Guo Fu once and stopped paying attention, forming a sharp contrast with everyone else in the room; "standing out from the crowd" wasn't enough to describe it.

The Big and Small Wu were indeed two pushovers who only knew how to be jealous.

Seeing Guo Fu's eyes fixed on Gu Hanyuan, they only thought about how to pull her attention away from him.

But looking at Gu Hanyuan's handsome face that could make one feel inferior, they discovered in comparison that general topics probably wouldn't be of much use.

Younger brother Wu Xiuwen was a bit smarter and thought of a rumor from some time ago.

"Brother, have you heard? Some time ago, someone caused a ruckus at the Chongyang Palace, beating up the entire Quanzhen Sect, and even Taoist Qiu and Taoist Ma couldn't take him down with the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation."

Sure enough, this matter was very topical; after all, the Quanzhen Sect had a great reputation in the Song country and was good at creating momentum, making the Quanzhen Sect seem like it was full of experts.

Now that someone had caused a ruckus, the topic was clearly sufficient.

As soon as Gu Hanyuan heard Wu Xiuwen's words, he knew what he meant, but he didn't expect to be eating a melon that turned out to be his own.

A subtle smile hung on his mouth, somewhat amused.

Guo Fu was about to have her attention diverted by Wu Xiuwen's words, but then she saw the sudden smile on Gu Hanyuan's cold and clear expression, and in the intense contrast.

Guo Fu only thought: How can he smile so beautifully?

Wu Xiuwen looked on with black lines on his face, helpless against the infatuated Guo Fu, and had to signal Wu Dunru to hurry up and be the straight man.

Wu Dunru understood:

"That's right, I heard that person is called Gu Hanyuan, a Wudang disciple, and he is already an Innate Peak expert at less than twenty years old. Moreover, his sword technique is superb, and he holds a divine weapon, the 'Hero Sword'; that is the true young hero."

Sure enough, Guo Fu had a young girl's heart, and her father Guo Jing was a hero respected by everyone, so she was very interested in such Jianghu rumors.

Seeing Guo Fu's attention attracted, Wu Xiuwen hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"That's right, people in our martial arts world should value strength; when young, one should practice martial arts diligently, rather than holding a sword and pretending to be a hero while swaggering through the streets."

Wu Dunru also chimed in:

"Exactly, martial arts are more important; otherwise, no matter how good-looking you are, what does it matter?"

These words were as good as explicitly pointing at Gu Hanyuan.

Guo Fu also heard that they were pointing at the mulberry to curse the locust, and her brows furrowed; although she was indignant, the logic was correct, and she couldn't refute it.

You have to know that her father didn't look very good either, yet he still married her mother, Huang Rong, who was once the number one beauty in the Song martial arts world.

Gu Hanyuan felt very strange listening to this, and his expression management was almost failing.

He could only endure the awkwardness, wearing a subtle smile, playing with his wine cup, and sipping wine from time to time.

Hmm, the taste is average; I won't drink it next time.

Suddenly, Gu Hanyuan's expression moved as he looked toward the restaurant entrance.

A man in hemp clothes walked in, his face full of lazy arrogance.

"What Gu Hanyuan, he's just a junior."

It turned out he had been listening outside the door for a while.

"And who might you be?"

Wu Xiuwen asked after seeing his words being disdained and refuted.

"I am Qinghai Yixiao."

Jianghu people in the room who had heard of Qinghai Yixiao's name began to exclaim:

"Qinghai Yixiao is the disciple of the Whiteboard Evil Star, who was notorious in the Jianghu years ago. He has committed many major cases in recent years and is a famous expert on the evil path."

Seeing people flattering him, Qinghai Yixiao looked around triumphantly.

He was stunned when he saw Guo Fu, putting away his lazy demeanor; he had never seen a beauty of this level.

"Yo, there's such a pretty little beauty here; let me take a good look."

He walked toward Guo Fu and reached out to touch her face.

Guo Fu was so scared she backed away.

Seeing Qinghai Yixiao trying to molest their goddess Guo Fu, the Big and Small Wu were about to step forward to stop him.

They drew their swords in anger and slashed at Qinghai Yixiao.

Qinghai Yixiao, however, knocked them to the ground with just two casual moves.

"You dare to stand out with such weak martial arts?"

Wu Xiuwen hurriedly brought up Guo Jing's name.

"Do you know this is the daughter of Hero Guo?"

"Guo Jing's daughter?"

Qinghai Yixiao hesitated upon hearing their words; molesting Guo Jing's daughter in Xiangyang City was something he had concerns about, even for him.

"Big Brother Wu and Little Brother Wu are both my father's disciples. If you don't leave after hurting them, you'll be finished when my father comes."

Although Guo Fu was willful, her temper was fierce; she also drew her long sword to confront Qinghai Yixiao, trying to scare him away.

Qinghai Yixiao had originally had some concerns, but he laughed as soon as he heard the Big and Small Wu were Guo Jing's disciples.
