Chapter 227

"So magical? Where did you get it?"

"Xianxia Sect."

Gu Hanyuan appeared unwilling to say more.

In reality, this "Heart-to-Heart Pendant" was exchanged for 1000 villain points, and he shifted the blame onto the Xianxia Sect, which he had previously mentioned to Huang Rong.

It was not that Gu Hanyuan did not want to exchange more for the women with whom he had intimate relationships.

It was just that the sensing range of this "Heart-to-Heart Pendant" was too short, making it truly a chicken rib.

If he were to exchange for a "Heart-to-Heart Pendant" with a longer sensing range, the price would be too expensive, and he could not afford it.

He could only wait until later.

As soon as Huang Rong heard the name Xianxia Sect, she knew what was going on.

She even felt a bit more shaken in her heart.

On that night when the Xianxia Sect was last mentioned, he had kissed her on the forehead.

However, facing Guo Fu's gaze at this moment, Huang Rong felt that this "Heart-to-Heart Pendant" was somewhat hot to the touch.

"It would be better to give this 'Heart-to-Heart Pendant' to Fu'er."

Huang Rong, who said this, found that while she felt relieved, there was even more reluctance in her heart.

Gu Hanyuan, however, did not grant Huang Rong's wish; he shook his head and refused:

"Sister Fu acts straightforwardly and has little Jianghu experience; Lady Guo should keep it. This way, I can also feel a bit more at ease."

This was also reasonable, and even Huang Rong could not refuse.

Guo Fu, in the end, cared more about Gu Hanyuan's thoughts and did not want to be disliked by him again.

She was also willing to bow her head for the sake of the one she loved.

She calmly persuaded Huang Rong:

"Mother, you should keep it. Don't make Brother Gu worry anymore."

Guo Fu's words surprised even Huang Rong.

For the sake of her Brother Gu, she was completely unlike her usual arrogant and willful self.

For a moment, she did not know whether she should feel gratified or sad.

However, Huang Rong was still persuaded by the two.

After accepting the "Heart-to-Heart Pendant," she only felt it was slightly hot in her palm.

Seeing this, Gu Hanyuan revealed a satisfied smile:

"Since Lady Guo has already accepted the 'Heart-to-Heart Pendant,' I can also go to save people with peace of mind. If an unexpected situation arises, do not hesitate, and do not worry; I will definitely arrive in time."

Listening to Gu Hanyuan's renewed promise, the two women felt a trace of being moved again.

After Gu Hanyuan left, the atmosphere among the five became suddenly awkward.

Although Huang Rong tried her best to pretend to converse normally with Guo Fu.

Guo Fu was also trying her best to cooperate.

But since both had things on their minds, the dialogue was quite disjointed.

Although Wang Yuyan found the subtle atmosphere between the two and Gu Hanyuan strange, she did not think too much about it.

After all, no one would think that the world-renowned Huang Rong would have any relationship with the rising star Gu Hanyuan.

Even if there was any attention, it was focused on Guo Fu.

Treating her as Gu Hanyuan's confidante.

As for the atmosphere between Duan Yu and Tang Lian, it was even more awkward.

Because Tang Lian had been glaring at Duan Yu with hatred.

Yet Duan Yu knew he was at fault and had no room for defense, so he could only endure it silently in the corner.

Gu Hanyuan soon located A'Zhu and A'Bi through his divine sense.

With a flick of his sword, he killed all the Xixia warriors escorting them.

The two women looked at Gu Hanyuan in surprise.

They had thought they were trapped and would have to face humiliation.

Yet they were rescued by Gu Hanyuan, who had descended from the sky.

A'Zhu had already developed a good impression of Gu Hanyuan when they were at Xingzi Forest, and after being rescued, her eyes were brimming with admiration.

A'Bi was not as quick-witted as A'Zhu, but she was even more grateful to Gu Hanyuan.

She also had a good impression, but at this moment, there was not yet a shred of romantic feeling.

Gu Hanyuan was not in a hurry about this; Murong Fu would sooner or later send A'Bi to his door.

Gu Hanyuan untied the two women.

The faint physical contact made A'Zhu somewhat excited, and she was the first to speak:

"Many thanks, Young Master Gu. Why are you here?"

"I encountered Young Master Duan and Miss Wang, and from them, I have learned the sequence of events; this is the antidote for 'Bei Su Qing Feng'."

After detoxifying the two women, he continued to explain:

"After I returned to Xingzi Forest, I tracked them all the way and discovered that they had split into two groups, so I came here first. Fortunately, I rescued you two; otherwise, if you had been escorted to Xixia, it would have been beyond my reach."

Upon hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, the two women felt a chill in their hearts.

They simply dared not imagine what their fate would have been if they had truly been sent to Xixia.

Their gratitude toward Gu Hanyuan increased even more.

"Since you are both fine now, I will go to save the North Gai Gang members."

Although the two women were somewhat regretful that Gu Hanyuan had to leave, they could also understand.

They watched him leave silently.

However, they saw Gu Hanyuan turn back before he had even taken two steps.

"I'd better take you both with me; it would be bad if you ran into any accidents."

The two women were somewhat surprised and very moved at the same time upon hearing Gu Hanyuan's words.

Because there had never been anyone who cared about them so much in their daily lives.

Even A'Bi's gaze toward Gu Hanyuan at this moment held more meaning.

But they also knew that it would certainly be inconvenient to move with two extra people.

A'Bi refused:

"Young Master Gu, you should go save the others first; taking us will certainly drag you down."

Gu Hanyuan smiled comfortingly at the two women:

"What drag? How difficult is it for my lightness skill to carry two slender and slim young ladies? It's just that I must offend you; please don't mind."

As he spoke, Gu Hanyuan took the two women into his arms respectively and began to run with his lightness skill.
