Chapter 194

Shi Qing had already understood the full story; leaving Cheng Ying aside, the cause was, after all, the startled horse.

But Wang Xiaofeng was truly disgraceful.

Moreover, he had nearly offended the daughter of Guo Jing and Yue Buqun; if it weren't for the fact that Wang Xiaofeng was still unconscious, he would have been beaten by Shi Qing again.

"Great Hero, there is no need for this. Both have already apologized. Moreover, Miss Cheng Ying is as clear as a mirror, distinguishing good from evil; she is a rare and good girl. How could there be any talk of failure in teaching?"

Gu Hanyuan was as gentle and polite as ever.

After hearing this, Shi Qing knew that although the matter was over, Gu Hanyuan clearly looked down on Wang Xiaofeng while speaking highly of Cheng Ying.

Gu Hanyuan smiled at Cheng Ying:

"Miss, we meet again."

"Gu Shaoxia, you flatter me."

Cheng Ying's face flushed red from Gu Hanyuan's previous praise.

"Although this is our first meeting, I have a slight understanding of your temperament, Miss. How is it flattery?"

Gu Hanyuan looked at the beautiful and pure Cheng Ying before him, knowing that girls of her age were most susceptible to this.

Shi Qing could see that Cheng Ying had a favorable impression of Gu Hanyuan, and Gu Hanyuan likewise greatly appreciated Cheng Ying.

If the two could be united in marriage, Shi Qing would be happy to see it happen.

Although Wang Xiaofeng was both his nephew and his disciple, the gap between him and Gu Hanyuan was simply too great.

Compared to Wang Xiaofeng, he cared more about the happiness of his daughter, Cheng Ying.

With Shi Qing intentionally playing matchmaker, Gu Hanyuan and Cheng Ying talked happily.

The other three of the "Four Wonders of the South," seeing Shi Qing's behavior, had an epiphany.

And their views were the same as his, so they joined in, matching the two together.

One moment they praised Gu Hanyuan for his talent and appearance, the next they praised Cheng Ying for her beauty.

In particular, the enthusiasm of Hua Tiegan made Gu Hanyuan feel somewhat uncomfortable; he was truly worthy of being the barbecue master, Hua Tiegan.

He must have been thinking about having a niece-in-law as capable as Gu Hanyuan.

Cheng Ying, seeing the four of them cooperating openly and secretly, guessed their intentions, blushing the whole time, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.

From time to time, she would also call out "Brother Gu" in a coquettish manner.

It wasn't until Cheng Ying truly couldn't stand Hua Tiegan's bottomless flattery that she gave a shy, angry pout and hid behind Shi Qing.

Gu Hanyuan knew that if he kept talking, Cheng Ying might get angry out of embarrassment, so he quit while he was ahead and bid them farewell.

Of course, the main reason was that Gu Hanyuan saw that the people from the Huashan Sect had arrived.

Leading them were Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, followed by Linghu Chong, Yue Lingshan, and other Huashan disciples.

There wasn't much to see in Old Yue; he was a handsome man, and his image was beyond reproach.

.............. 0

The focus was on Ning Zhongze beside Old Yue; although she was nearly forty and carried the frost of time, she was still beautiful, especially the touch of heroism hidden within her gentleness, which left a deep impression.

"Sect Master Yue, Madam Yue. I have long admired your names."

Gu Hanyuan first bowed and greeted Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze.

Looking at Ning Zhongze from a close distance, he felt she was charming and beautiful; she was truly worthy of being the Jade Maiden of Huashan.

He wondered in his heart if he should let Old Yue learn the "Evil-Warding Sword Art" sooner.

Yue Buqun suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, even thinking that Zuo Lengchan was hiding in the dark to launch a sneak attack.

After observing the surroundings calmly and finding nothing, he nodded at Gu Hanyuan with a smile:

"Gu Shaoxia is indeed a man of talent and a heroic youth. Thank you, Gu Shaoxia, for your help at the Huiyan Pavilion."

After Yue Buqun thanked Gu Hanyuan, he couldn't help but turn back and glare at Linghu Chong.

He was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with this eldest disciple.

Linghu Chong had a sheepish expression, lowering his head in guilt.

Ning Zhongze was currently scrutinizing Gu Hanyuan, clearly having heard a lot about him from Yue Lingshan.

She also saw that her daughter seemed to have set her heart on Gu Hanyuan.

From her heart, Ning Zhongze had hoped that Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong would become a pair.

She had always treated Linghu Chong as her own, with gentleness and love.

Now that Gu Hanyuan had suddenly appeared, it was inevitable that she would feel dissatisfied.

However, even with Ning Zhongze's pickiness, it was difficult to find fault with Gu Hanyuan's character and appearance.

Perhaps his martial arts had even surpassed her own.

She gained a bit more understanding of Yue Lingshan's thoughts. ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
