Chapter 1639: Leaving Sun Xiaohong behind

Everyone once again felt Gu Hanyuan's terrifying power and instantly became trembling with fear.

Of course, there were also people whose emotions were completely different from the crowd.

Sun Xiaohong's heart was pounding, and a blush also rose on her pretty, jade-like face.

She suddenly understood why "hero saves the beauty" was the most popular trope in so many stories throughout the ages.

Not only do men like it, women like it even more.

At this moment, she felt the feelings of the heroines in those stories.

A strong sense of peace of mind from being protected.

The situation just now actually couldn't be counted as a crisis, after all, her grandfather, Tianji Old Man, was right behind her.

But that didn't prevent her from feeling moved by it.

Sun Xiaohong, who always used plain attire to make herself inconspicuous, had never encountered such a situation before.

In the past, even if she occasionally got into some trouble, she didn't even need Tianji Old Man to take action; she could resolve it with her own cleverness.

So, being protected by someone was truly the first time.

The disappointment and loss in her heart caused by Gu Hanyuan and Lin Shiyin hooking up instantly dissipated.

She even began to find excuses for Gu Hanyuan on her own.

She believed that Lin Shiyin was captivated by his charm and had actively seduced him.

In the story of Li Xunhuan, Long Xiaoyun, and Lin Shiyin,

Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun naturally had their reputations damaged, but Lin Shiyin didn't fare much better either.

After all, no matter what the facts were, Lin Shiyin had first been engaged to Li Xunhuan, yet had married Long Xiaoyun.

Even with the factor of Li Xunhuan yielding, it was hard not to make people feel she was fickle.

Usually, for the sake of her idol Li Xunhuan, Sun Xiaohong would have defended Lin Shiyin a few words in her heart.

However, at this moment, she completely dumped the blame on Lin Shiyin's head.

Invisibly, this also lowered Li Xunhuan's status and image in Sun Xiaohong's mind.

After all, Li Xunhuan, who was so infatuated with a fickle woman like Lin Shiyin, didn't have a shred of a hero's image.

Although Gu Hanyuan didn't know exactly what Sun Xiaohong had imagined,

looking at her glowing eyes, he knew his operation had succeeded.

It wasn't in vain that he had used the "Soul-Moving Great Law" on Qiu Du.

With such a large gap in strength, and with a mind already wavering, it was impossible for him to block the control of his "Soul-Moving Great Law."

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently and domineeringly:

"I suppose you all know a thing or two about Gu Mou's temperament. Capturing the Plum Blossom Thief aside, if Gu Mou learns that anyone is bullying the good or doing evil, do not blame Gu Mou for cleaning out the pests."

Everyone felt their hearts tremble upon hearing this, and those evil experts were even more terrified.

However, hidden within Gu Hanyuan's seemingly righteous words was a loophole: "capturing the Plum Blossom Thief."

That is to say, as long as the conflict arose for the sake of "capturing the Plum Blossom Thief," he would not care.

Those with sharper minds, like Bai Xiaosheng, were already turning their eyes and plotting.

Therefore, beneath the surface that seemed to have been forcibly calmed by Gu Hanyuan, even more chaotic undercurrents were brewing.

Even if no one saw this, it didn't matter; it wasn't as if they were the only ones who could stir up the situation.

The "Luo Wang" could completely pretend to be the Plum Blossom Thief and act.

Of course, on the surface, they had to maintain calm, otherwise, it wouldn't be very conducive to Gu Hanyuan's strategy for Lin Shiyin.

Bai Xiaosheng took the lead and said respectfully:

"We will strictly follow Young Master Gu's orders."

After Gu Hanyuan nodded indifferently to signal they could leave, he turned around and teased Sun Xiaohong with a smile:

"Miss Xiaohong, we meet again. Is there something you need to find this person with heaven-defying luck?"

Sun Xiaohong turned bright red upon hearing this and said shyly:

"I didn't know your identity at the time, Young Master Gu, and made you laugh. This trip is to apologize to you, and I had no intention of belittling you. Also, I must thank you for saving me just now."

"They were just some joking words; how could I take them to heart? Besides, didn't Miss Xiaohong praise me more? As for the matter just now, it was just my duty, not worthy of Miss Xiaohong's thanks."

Gu Hanyuan was also a famous double-standard.

For people like Zhao Zhengyi and You Longsheng, just because their words were inappropriate, they suffered the disaster of being blinded or losing their lives.

If Sun Xiaohong hadn't been good-looking, Gu Hanyuan wouldn't have spoken to her in such a gentle voice.

So, being good-looking still has many benefits.

Listening to Gu Hanyuan's gentle words, Sun Xiaohong felt even more shy in her heart.

She even felt some annoyance for having thought of Gu Hanyuan as a bad person who hooked up with other men's wives.

Finally having the opportunity to chat with Gu Hanyuan, Sun Xiaohong asked with a sweet smile: ===== CHAPTER 1641 =====
