Chapter 1593: The beauty-obsessed girl, Sun Xiaohong

PS: An extra chapter for the ten-thousand-reward from the tough guy of the desert.

He Hongyao's work attitude was still quite upright.

She quickly adjusted the manpower of the "Earth Net."

Placing more attention on the Northwest Jianghu of the Ming Guo.

In fact, seriously speaking, it couldn't be blamed on He Hongyao that the intelligence work wasn't done well.

After all, previously, the vast majority of intelligence power had been placed in the capital and on Lu Xiaofeng.

Ultimately, it was because the power of the "Earth Net" was insufficient.

Finding an opportunity, he still had to go dig up a few more treasures to develop the "Earth Net."

Gu Hanyuan was in no hurry to go to Tianshan Heavenly Pool to find Suxin.

A few days later.

At the "Juxianju" restaurant in a small town.

An old man and a young girl were telling stories in the main hall.

The old man was wearing a blue cloth gown, his beard and hair were all white, but in his turbid eyes, there was the light of wisdom that saw through the ways of the world.

The young one was a girl in her prime, wearing two large braids, her bright eyes shining like black pearls.

The girl was delicate and pretty, her smile hearty; if it weren't for her dressing too plainly, the men in the restaurant would likely have lost their interest in listening to the story, only caring about looking at her.

Of course, it could not be denied that the storytelling of this old man and young girl was very interesting.

They saw the old man take a puff of his dry tobacco pipe and say with cadence:

"It is said that Young Master Gu, the 'Sword Immortal of the Three Absolutes,' fought against the crowd at the Southern Shaolin Assembly, just to take back Ren Yingying, the Saintess of the Sun Moon Sect, beating the crowd into submission. Abbot Sikuang Xuan Ci of the Southern Shaolin had no choice but to respectfully send the Saintess out. Afterward, Murong Bo and Xiao Yuan Shan appeared, and the Southern Shaolin, for some reason, protected the two with all their might. Young Master Gu fought the Earth Immortal Monk Wuse with the 'Three-Point Divine Finger' in a rage. He left a deep, bone-visible wound on Monk Wuse's hand before leaving leisurely, and the crowd did not dare to stop him."

The girl asked with feigned surprise:

"But didn't I hear a while ago that Young Master Gu stormed the Qing Guo Imperial Palace and killed Dorgon, the Prince Regent, an Earth Immortal who had been faking his death for many years? Could it be that Young Master Gu showed mercy at the Southern Shaolin?"

As the girl said this, she couldn't help but frequently cast her gaze toward a seat.

There, a man in white, handsome and extraordinary, was playing with a teacup in his hand, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, looking so good that it made people lose their focus.

Even though the girl knew there was still the business of storytelling to do, she couldn't help but look at him.

She had been walking the Jianghu with her grandfather for many years and had never seen a man who looked so good; the more she looked, the more she felt it was pleasing to the eye.

However, what was strange was that

the man in white, who should have been the focus of everyone's attention, was not looked at by anyone other than the girl, as if he did not exist at all.

It was the girl's grandfather who frowned from time to time, as if something confusing was bothering him.

The man attracting the girl's gaze was precisely Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan had come to this small town after making some arrangements at the "Earth Net" stronghold.

The grandfather and granddaughter telling stories were precisely the Heavenly Machine Old Man and his granddaughter, Sun Xiaohong.

The Heavenly Machine Old Man's original name was Sun Bai Fa.

The Sun family of the Heavenly Machine Old Man was a huge Jianghu family, possessing a huge intelligence system, knowing everything about the Jianghu in the Ming Guo.

Gu Hanyuan was very interested in this Sun family.

If he could subdue the Sun family, the intelligence system of the "Earth Net" in the Ming Guo could ascend to another level.

As for the Heavenly Machine Old Man himself, there was nothing worth caring about.

Although he was ranked first in the "Weapon Manual" written by Bai Xiaosheng,

this "Weapon Manual" was just a gimmick to attract attention.

Bai Xiaosheng ranked them just to stir up martial arts disputes.

People with true insight would not care about the ranking in this "Weapon Manual" at all.

The Heavenly Machine Old Man had long seen through the tricks in it, and in order to avoid becoming a target of public criticism, he changed his name and disguised himself as a storyteller, taking Sun Xiaohong to play in the Jianghu.

Gu Hanyuan had no interest in being watched by a group of ordinary people.

Therefore, he used the "Soul-Shifting Great Law," making it so that no one other than Sun Xiaohong could perceive his existence.

It was the Heavenly Machine Old Man, with his Grandmaster cultivation, who sensed something was wrong.

However, Gu Hanyuan saw at a glance that the Heavenly Machine Old Man's blood and energy were severely decayed, and there were hidden injuries on his body.

If they were to truly fight, he might not necessarily be stronger than a Peak Grandmaster.

Gu Hanyuan had been sitting here for a while, only to end up eating a melon that turned out to be about himself.

He raised his cup with amusement to signal to Sun Xiaohong, who was looking over.

Causing a faint blush to rise on her pretty face.

"My god! How can there be such a good-looking man in the world? Could he be a fox immortal or some kind of monster? If I keep looking, I'd want to follow him even without him catching me."

Sun Xiaohong's pure and cute girl's heart was running wild with thoughts.

The Heavenly Machine Old Man barely suppressed the confusion in his heart and continued:

"In my opinion, it is that Young Master Gu's cultivation has improved again since the Southern Shaolin Assembly. Since Young Master Gu debuted, his martial arts realm has grown extremely fast, reaching the peak of the martial arts world in less than a year. It is amazing how peerless his talent is."

Sun Xiaohong resisted the urge to continue looking at Gu Hanyuan.

She said with surprise:

"But even if Young Master Gu's talent is peerless, isn't it too magical to become a supreme expert so quickly?"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Machine Old Man lowered his voice, making a gesture of revealing a secret, and whispered:

"There is a small rumor over in the Song Guo that Young Master Gu once accidentally entered an ancient ruin and obtained an immortal fate, and since then, his martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, becoming unstoppable. It is said that now many experts in the Song Guo are trying to find the so-called ancient ruin, wanting to become the second 'Sword Immortal of the Three Absolutes'."

This was the news Gu Hanyuan had deliberately leaked.

Firstly, to make his own divine skills reasonable.

Secondly, it was also to prepare for digging pits for people in the future.

Sun Xiaohong curled her lips and said:

"So that's it. Then Young Master Gu is just a person with heaven-defying luck." ===== CHAPTER 1595 =====
