Chapter 1694

Even just sitting there, Yao Yue had a majesty that made people dare not look at her.

However, unexpectedly, although her tone was cold and indifferent, her voice was ethereal and pleasant.

Yet, the three words "Gu Hanyuan" had a strange magic.

Making her perfect temperament have a sense of stagnation that broke her cultivation.

Only to see Yao Yue frown slightly and slowly open her eyes.

What kind of eyes were those?

Clear and bright, as if the bright moon had pierced through the dark clouds, casting down moonlight as brilliant as that.

But that gaze was as cold and aloof as the unreachable bright moon.

There was a coldness and ruthlessness in her gaze that could freeze people's hearts.

Beautiful as it was, it was unreachable, and no one dared to touch it.

One would be frozen, frostbitten, or frozen to death.

However, the woman who had awakened her seemed completely unaffected.

Her smile was gentle, her face sweet, even better than spring flowers, and her flexible eyes were filled not only with indescribable wisdom but also with childishness.

She was wearing a brocade palace dress like flowing clouds, with a long skirt reaching the ground and long hair draped over her shoulders, like flowing clouds.

Her peerless beauty and noble elegance were no less than Yao Yue's.

And compared to Yao Yue's unapproachable coldness, she seemed to have a kind of gentleness and kindness in her bones.

Making people subconsciously want to get close to her and cherish her.

She was Yao Yue's younger sister, the Second Palace Master of Yihua Palace, Tang Lian Xing.

However, apart from their similar features and equally peerless beauty, it was hard for people to imagine that they were sisters.

Not only was there a world of difference in temperament, but their figures made people suspect that Tang Lian Xing had stolen Yao Yue's nutrition.

Yao Yue was slender and graceful, a perfect figure that was very much in line with the aesthetics of this era.

Tang Lian Xing's waist was slender, not inferior to Yao Yue's.

However, her peaks in front were towering.

Let alone looking down at her toes, when no one was around, she would probably unconsciously place them on the table to relieve the pressure and the soreness in her shoulders.

It was a pity that this perfect figure did not conform to the aesthetics of this era.

It required a pair of eyes that knew how to appreciate it.

And precisely because of this wrong understanding, Tang Lian Xing had a wrong sense of inferiority.

In her eyes, Yao Yue was perfect, while she was someone who would be disliked.

It was just like seventeen years ago.

The man she secretly admired had once had a flash of disgust in his eyes.

This was also one of the reasons why she didn't dare to express her feelings back then.

The talk of stealing nutrition was naturally a boring fantasy.

Although the two ladies were sisters, their ages were four years apart.

Although the two ladies looked like they were in their early twenties.

In reality, Tang Lian Xing was already nearly forty.

It was only because she practiced the "Bright Jade Art," which preserves youth and beauty, that she maintained her youthful beauty.

After opening her eyes, Yao Yue subconsciously glanced at Tang Lian Xing's left hand hidden in her long sleeves and her left foot hidden under her long skirt.

However, this gaze went away quickly and was retracted even faster.

Even someone as keen as Tang Lian Xing couldn't detect it.

Yao Yue, who had retracted her gaze, asked coldly and indifferently:

"Why did Gu Hanyuan suddenly return to the Ming Dynasty? And why did he go to the Northwest Jianghu? Did something happen in the Northwest Jianghu?"

Tang Lian Xing's beautiful eyes flickered, and she told the story of Li Xunhuan and the Plum Blossom Bandit.

Yao Yue snorted coldly:

"Hmph, Li Xunhuan!"

Li Xunhuan barely met the criteria of Yihua Palace's rule to "kill all heartless men in the world."

Li Xunhuan's actions back then were actually no different from abandoning Lin Shiyin.

It was just that because of the involvement of Long Xiaoyun, the whole matter became much more complex.

Even Yao Yue found it difficult to judge for a moment whether Li Xunhuan should be killed.

But she certainly had no good feelings for Li Xunhuan.

Yao Yue shook her head, setting aside the consideration of Li Xunhuan for the time being.

She asked about a question she was more concerned about.

"Is that Gu Hanyuan really as rumored?"

Tang Lian Xing couldn't help but say in a deep voice:

"It should be true. His divine arts are peerless; he killed Yi Ku of the Green Demon Hand with one palm. And it is rumored that because he disliked the heavy snow blocking the road, he opened the sky with one palm, dispersing the dark clouds and making it not snow in that area for many days."

Yao Yue frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice:

"Anything else?"

Tang Lian Xing knew what Yao Yue was more concerned about, and couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment before saying:

"Our disciples who were inquiring about news in the Northwest Jianghu had the good fortune to see Gu Hanyuan once; I don't know if his talent is peerless, but his appearance is indeed as the Jianghu rumors say, as handsome as a celestial being descending to the mortal world."

What Tang Lian Xing didn't say was that the Yihua Palace disciple who had the good fortune to see Gu Hanyuan had a look of being lost in thought when reporting to her, clearly having been fascinated by Gu Hanyuan.

The gentle and kind Tang Lian Xing was worried that this matter would be detected by Yao Yue, so she hurriedly sent that disciple out of the palace.

And to avoid her sinking deeper, she specially changed her to another place, not daring to let her go to the Northwest Jianghu again.

After all, if Yao Yue found out that a disciple had fallen in love with a man without permission, the lightest punishment would be to have her martial arts crippled and be expelled from the palace.

If they had made a secret promise for life, it was even more likely that they would be killed by Yao Yue.

Back then, Jianghu rumors said that there was no girl in the world who could resist the smile of "Jade Young Master" Jiang Feng.

And there was no hero who could resist the light sword of Yan Nantian.

Everyone believed that Yan Nantian's sword could not only take the head of a commander-in-chief among a million troops but also split a hair into two.

And Jiang Feng's smile could shatter a girl's heart.

Now, Gu Hanyuan seemed to be a combination of both, or even an enhanced version.

And because Yao Yue had been hurt by Jiang Feng back then, and had a great war with Yan Nantian because of Jiang Feng's death, they were mortal enemies.

Therefore, since Gu Hanyuan became famous, Yao Yue couldn't help but start paying attention.

However, before this, Gu Hanyuan was either in the Song Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, and even if news came, it had passed through several channels, making it inevitably somewhat inaccurate and incomplete.

Yao Yue pondered for a while and asked:

"Then Gu Hanyuan's romanticism is also true?"

Tang Lian Xing choked upon hearing this and said hesitantly:

"It should be true; the news says that it is rumored that the number one beauty of the Northwest Jianghu, Lin Xian'er, has been taken as his concubine, and there is also a beautiful storytelling girl, Sun Xiaohong, who has become his confidante."

After a pause.
