Chapter 23

Yin Susu's pupils shrank, and she didn't say much. She just subconsciously gripped the plain white handkerchief hidden in her sleeve.

Gu Hanyuan didn't take it to heart; he believed Yin Susu wouldn't refuse.

Late at night, at the hour of the Rat.

Yin Susu arrived at the agreed location.

She saw Gu Hanyuan with his back to her, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

Tonight, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse; the starlight fell on Gu Hanyuan like a curtain, and his tall figure and otherworldly temperament, even wearing the ordinary third-generation Wu Dang disciple uniform, made him look like a celestial being.

Yin Susu looked at Gu Hanyuan's back, and her heart skipped a beat inexplicably.

After finally stabilizing her emotions, she spoke slowly.

"I'm here."

"You shouldn't have come."

Yin Susu had a face full of black question marks. Clearly, she didn't understand Gu Hanyuan's reference.

However, she still replied:

"You knew I shouldn't have come, yet you still asked me to come."

Gu Hanyuan listened to Yin Susu's reply and only felt it was boring.

It would have been better even if she had said, "Then I'll leave?"

Once again experiencing the fact of transmigration, he felt a sense of loneliness.

Yin Susu felt the change in Gu Hanyuan's temperament.

Although she didn't know the reason, there was always a very heavy feeling.

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand if I told you. I know you have many doubts. Ask."

Gu Hanyuan turned around to face Yin Susu.

Seeing that Yin Susu had changed into a dark purple long dress, her hair was smooth, and she had even applied light makeup, his mood improved significantly.

Yin Susu also noticed Gu Hanyuan's scrutinizing gaze and felt a little shy.

She didn't know why she had dressed herself up so well, and had even taken a bath and applied makeup.

However, the doubts in her heart still prevailed, and she asked:

"What is your relationship with Wutian?"

"No relationship, just some cooperation."

Gu Hanyuan naturally wouldn't admit that Wutian was his clone; a cooperative relationship was enough to explain it.

Yin Susu's expression, on the contrary, became uglier.

"What about the Xuanming Elders?"

"It has nothing to do with them. The Xuanming Elders are people from the Mongol Yuan Prince Ruyang's Mansion; now you know why they captured Zhang Wuji."

"Prince Ruyang's Mansion!"

Yin Susu instantly understood the Xuanming Elders' goal. Although it had nothing to do with Gu Hanyuan, her expression was still not good, after all, Zhang Wuji was now suffering from cold poison and was in imminent danger.

"By the way, the Dragon-Slaying Saber! Was Brother Xie really killed by Wutian?"

Yin Susu actually didn't quite believe this; after all, she and Zhang Cuishan had only returned to the Central Plains for a short time.

Without knowing the way, wanting to find the location of Ice Fire Island in the vast ocean was harder than ascending to heaven. It was simply impossible to do in a few months.

Gu Hanyuan didn't intend to hide it and said bluntly:

"It's fake, the Dragon-Slaying Saber is also a counterfeit. Want to see it?"

"A fake Dragon-Slaying Saber? Is it on you?"

Yin Susu was a little surprised; after all, she was also present at the time, and as someone familiar with the Dragon-Slaying Saber, she hadn't seen any part of it that didn't look like the real thing.

Gu Hanyuan pretended to take the counterfeit Dragon-Slaying Saber from behind a tree, but in reality, it was taken from the system's storage space.

The storage space was brought by the system; after discovering it a few days ago, he had put the attire Wutian needed into the storage space.

With the system's storage space, Gu Hanyuan might be able to guest star as a Saint of Thieves or something in the future.

As long as he touched it, he could take it away; if he were shameless enough, he could even take away the other party's clothes instantly.

Compared to the likes of Yun Zhonghe and Tian Boguang, they were simply too weak.

However, this kind of thing had to be done with a different identity; it was truly too low-class and ruined his style.

He heard that Sikong Zhaixing was known as the "King of Thieves"; it would be very interesting if he had the opportunity to steal something from him.

Gu Hanyuan handed the counterfeit Dragon-Slaying Saber to Yin Susu.

Yin Susu looked at it carefully in the moonlight and found that it was completely identical in appearance, and even the weight was about the same.

Her heart moved, and she took out a mosquito-whisker needle and stuck it on the counterfeit Dragon-Slaying Saber.

She saw the mosquito-whisker needle slide off directly.

Sure enough, it wasn't the real Dragon-Slaying Saber.

Because the real Dragon-Slaying Saber had magnetism and could attract all hidden weapons in the world.

Gu Hanyuan was extra careful and took the mosquito-whisker needle that was about to fall to the ground into his hand.

It would be troublesome if he accidentally pricked himself later.

Yin Susu was first a little puzzled, then instantly realized, and enduring the wild beating of her heart, she gave Gu Hanyuan a glare.

That glare was truly full of endless charm and allure.

Gu Hanyuan nearly couldn't hold back. But the timing wasn't right yet, so he'd better wait a little longer.

Although Yin Susu was teased again, she breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Xie Xun was not dead.

Slightly afraid of the blazing fire that flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes, she had a flash of inspiration and found an excuse for herself.

"You promised to help me save Wuji, but you didn't keep your promise."

Gu Hanyuan glanced at her with an indifferent expression.

"If Wutian hadn't taken out the Dragon-Slaying Saber, how could he have drawn out the Xuanming Elders? As long as the Xuanming Elders appeared, Zhang Sanfeng could save Zhang Wuji. I only promised to help you save Zhang Wuji, I didn't say I would save him personally, and I didn't say I would guarantee he would be unharmed."

Yin Susu also knew Gu Hanyuan was right, but she was just a little unwilling and very worried about the cold poison in Zhang Wuji's body.

Yin Susu hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Why do you want to cooperate with Wutian? He looks very dangerous."

Gu Hanyuan put away his indifferent expression and looked Yin Susu up and down, making her feel a little shy and annoyed before answering:

"Of course, it's each taking what they need."

Yin Susu was stunned for a moment, and only after thinking of the gaze Gu Hanyuan had used to look at her just now did she react, blushing and scolding him.

"Is your need to covet my body?"

She was actually a little shy like a young girl.

"Otherwise? I have no interest in the Dragon-Slaying Saber; what else do you have that I need?"

Gu Hanyuan was blunt, only making Yin Susu even shyer. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
