Chapter 1734

~6 min read 1,116 words

Ji Yaohua was a bit confused at this moment.

Wasn't it said that Gu Hanyuan was romantic and affectionate?

Shouldn't he see her beauty and be more proactive in making contact?

Why was he so cold?

Was she not beautiful enough?

Gu Hanyuan ignored Ji Yaohua, who was doubting her life there.

He reached out and rubbed the little head of Long Xiaoyun, who was pouting, and said warmly:

"Xiaoyun, first tidy up for your father, Long Xiaoyun. Even if he had a thousand faults, he is still your biological father."

Gu Hanyuan was standing and talking without back pain.

Long Xiaoyun's eyes turned red upon hearing this.

The jealousy she felt earlier because Gu Hanyuan was talking to the beautiful Ji Yaohua was also forgotten by her.

She glared hatefully at the dejected Li Xunhuan.

Having witnessed the "Little Li Flying Dagger," Long Xiaoyun did not ignorantly mention revenge again.

She wanted to wait until she had worked hard to cultivate and become stronger before taking revenge herself.

With Gu Hanyuan as her backing, she was not worried that she would not be able to take revenge.

"Hmm."

Long Xiaoyun responded and was about to go forward to collect Long Xiaoyun's corpse.

However, at this moment, it was that extremely annoying "Amitabha" again.

But this time it was not Xinmei, but Xinjian, whom Gu Hanyuan had been watching for a long time.

One saw Xinjian with a face full of compassion, mourning:

"This old monk had a close private friendship with Shizhu Long; today Shizhu Long died an unnatural death, and my heart is very pained. Please allow this old monk to collect his corpse and perform funeral rites to express my feelings."

Long Xiaoyun hesitated upon hearing this.

Because of Gu Hanyuan, she also had no good feelings for the North Shaolin monks.

"Xiaoyun, agree to him. After all, it is for your biological father."

Gu Hanyuan's words made Long Xiaoyun agree to Xinjian's request to collect and perform rites for Long Xiaoyun's corpse.

Xinjian looked at Gu Hanyuan's half-smiling expression and felt a bit guilty for a moment.

However, his greed still prompted him to make the decision to seek wealth in danger.

He stepped forward cautiously and seriously to collect Long Xiaoyun's corpse.

Given Long Xiaoyun's caution and suspicion, it was very likely that he carried the divine skill manual on his person.

Xinjian's goal was precisely the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art" on Long Xiaoyun.

In fact, even if Long Xiaoyun had not carried the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art" manual on him.

Gu Hanyuan would have stuffed one into his bosom.

The purpose was to let the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art" spread to the Jianghu in a reasonable way.

There was no need to even reveal the details of the transaction between Gu Hanyuan and Long Xiaoyun.

As the biological father of Gu Hanyuan's personal disciple Long Xiaoyun, it was reasonable for him to possess the divine skill manual that Long Xiaoyun cultivated, wasn't it?

As for the means by which Long Xiaoyun obtained the manual, who would care?

A satisfied smile flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

He turned back and said indifferently to Li Xunhuan:

"Li Xunhuan. Since Wuxiang took a sword strike from Gu Mou for you, the debt of you using a flying dagger to shoot Xiaoyun will be recorded for now. Wait for Xiaoyun to ask you for it personally in the future."

"Many thanks, Young Master Gu."

Li Xunhuan wanted to explain that he did not know why he had suddenly used the "Little Li Flying Dagger."

But looking at Long Xiaoyun's hateful eyes, he smiled bitterly and gave up the idea of explaining, turning it into a long sigh.

And Li Xunhuan was indeed a humble gentleman; in this situation, he still had to thank Gu Hanyuan.

Not only for his grace in not killing him, but also for saving Long Xiaoyun in time.

Otherwise, Li Xunhuan would have felt guilty and blamed himself for a lifetime.

Gu Hanyuan nodded slightly and said leisurely:

"Since Miss Ji of the Liushan Sect has arrived, I will not intervene in your affairs, Li Xunhuan, or the Plum Blossom Thief's affairs. Xiaoyun, let's go."

After saying that, he was about to leave with Long Xiaoyun.

"Young Master Gu, please stay!"

Ji Yaohua hurriedly called out to stop Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan gave a subtle, mysterious smile.

He turned around and asked with a slight frown:

"Does Miss Ji have any other business?"

Ji Yaohua choked upon hearing this, suppressed her annoyance in her heart, and said coquettishly:

"Yaohua has long admired Young Master Gu's name and would like to talk to you privately about some things."

Ji Yaohua no longer referred to herself as "this official."

The delicate self-reference of "Yaohua" seemed to be saying that she was talking about official business before, but now she wanted to talk about private matters.

Even in the eyes of those who didn't know, Ji Yaohua might be one of the women who admired Gu Hanyuan.

One saw Ji Yaohua also pretend to inadvertently smooth the hair by her ears, revealing her beautiful ears.

That shy posture and slightly flushed pretty face made her look even more beautiful.

Those Liushan Sect constables and bailiffs who had followed Ji Yaohua all showed strange expressions.

However, even if Ji Yaohua realized their reaction, she was helpless.

Gu Hanyuan's cold reaction forced her to put down her self-respect.

As for those Jianghu people who were watching, they also looked at each other in dismay.

Marveling that even the Black-Clad Divine Constable of the Liushan Sect could not resist Gu Hanyuan's charm.

Gu Hanyuan heard Ji Yaohua's invitation for a private meeting.

While marveling at her good acting skills, he smiled lightly with an inexplicable meaning on his face:

"Many thanks for Miss Ji's kindness, but unfortunately many things happened today, and I don't have much leisure during the day, so I can only wait for Miss Ji at Xingyunzhuang tonight."

Ji Yaohua was even more ashamed and annoyed upon hearing this.

She didn't even need to look at everyone's reaction to know that they must have misunderstood.

After all, such a conversation was almost indistinguishable from an appointment for a secret meeting.

Especially since Gu Hanyuan specifically pointed out tonight.

Perhaps by tomorrow, rumors would spread in the Jianghu that she had become Gu Hanyuan's confidante.

With Gu Hanyuan's current prestige, such rumors had both advantages and disadvantages for her.

The advantage was naturally that she could borrow Gu Hanyuan's prestige to bully others.

The disadvantage was that the hat of being a vase on her head would probably be even harder to take off.
