Chapter 24

"Hmph. You killed my snakes and haven't compensated me yet, and you actually want to kill us."

Zhong Ling originally didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the two sects, but she didn't expect Zuo Zuo Zimu and Xin Xin Shuangqing to be so aggressive, so naturally, she wouldn't be polite and retorted directly.

Gu Gu Hanyuan also sneered lightly.

"Not much skill, but a big mouth, and poor judgment. Sister Ling'er, I don't think they can afford to compensate for your snakes, so I'll teach them a lesson for you."

"Okay, okay."

Seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan Yu Wanting to stand up for her, Zhong Ling was very happy, although she didn't know his martial arts.

Zuo Zuo Zimu and Xin Xin Shuangqing felt like they were facing a great enemy after hearing Gu Gu Hanyuan's words, and they were fully focused, deciding to strike first.

Both of them stabbed their long swords at Gu Gu Hanyuan at the same time.

There were all sorts of messy sword moves like "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun" and "Ten Thousand Flowers Competing for Beauty."

Gu Gu Hanyuan just felt it was flashy.

Such sword skills naturally have great power when used by Senior Wu Wu Yazi and Li Qiu.

But what kind of dish are Zuo Zuo Zimu and Xin Xin Shuangqing?

He didn't have the idea of exposing Wu Dang martial arts, so he just crushed them with his Grandmaster realm.

Gu Gu Hanyuan smashed both long swords into pieces with one palm.

The power of the fragments did not diminish, hitting the two of them and sending them flying away.

After landing, Zuo Zuo Zimu clutched his injury and begged for mercy with difficulty.

"Grandmaster! Thank you, Senior, for showing mercy. We have offended you, please forgive us."

They are only at the early stage of Innate realm even in middle age; killing them would feel like lowering his status.

And the Boundless Sword Sect will soon submit to the Lingjiu Palace, so he can just indirectly control them after taking over the Lingjiu Palace in the future; there is no need to spend any effort.

Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't pay attention to him and left directly with Zhong Ling.

Seeing this, Duan Yu hurriedly followed.

Zuo Zuo Zimu and the others had no intention of stopping him anymore.

After leaving Sword Lake Palace, Zhong Ling started chattering like a lark.

"Brother Brother Wutian, you are so amazing."

"Brother Brother Wutian, are you really a Grandmaster? You are even more amazing than my father."

"Brother Brother Wutian, how old are you? I heard that Grandmasters are all forty or fifty years old. Should I call you Uncle Brother Wutian?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan had a headache from the noise.

"I'm already sixty years old, it's fine if you call me Grandpa."

"Pfft, I don't believe you, Brother Brother Wutian, you're lying to me again."

Zhong Ling wasn't bluffed and pouted in dissatisfaction.

Not to mention his hair as black as ink, she had even seen half of his face under the mask, and he didn't look like he was that old at all.

Seeing that Zhong Ling and Gu Gu Hanyuan had finally stopped talking, Duan Yu hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, Senior, for saving me, and thank you, Miss, for your help."

"I didn't save you. Don't climb up the pole just because you can."

Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't want to be treated as a savior by Duan Yu; it was too troublesome.

"Hee hee, bookworm, you have to thank me. Otherwise, Brother Brother Wutian wouldn't have made a move. He is a bad guy."

Duan Yu's expression was strange; is it really okay to call yourself a bad guy so directly?

"Bookworm, my name is Zhong Ling, my parents call me Ling'er, what's your name?"

"Zhong Ling Yuxiu, what a great name. My name is Duan Yu."

Zhong Ling was stunned when she heard Duan Yu's surname was Duan, after all, her father hated people with the surname Duan the most.

The royal family of Dali has the surname Duan, so in fact, there are quite a few people with the surname Duan in Dali, so it's not strange to meet one.

"Ling'er, you are so amazing, you weren't afraid even when facing so many people."

Duan Yu is also thick-skinned, and he directly called her "Ling'er" while he was at it.

No wonder he could chase after "Fairy Sister" and act like a sycophant.

"I wasn't afraid of them at all. Let me tell you, I have a Lightning Marten, it's very powerful. If they bully me, I'll let the Lightning Marten bite them."

As Zhong Ling finished speaking, a petite and agile marten head poked out from the cloth bag beside her, its small eyes blinking, which was very cute.

It was quite similar to Zhong Ling; sure enough, like owner, like pet.

Zhong Ling stroked the Lightning Marten's little head, her face full of joy.

"Brother Brother Wutian, do you want to touch the Lightning Marten? It's very cute."

Gu Gu Hanyuan looked over after hearing Zhong Ling's words.

After the Lightning Marten felt Gu Gu Hanyuan's gaze, its fur stood on end instantly, and it trembled slightly.

Gu Gu Hanyuan thought: Animals are indeed much more sensitive than humans; is this because it sensed danger, or did it sense the darkness in my heart?

Gu Gu Hanyuan reached out and stroked the Lightning Marten's little head.

It finally calmed down, and after finding no danger, it rubbed its head against Gu Gu Hanyuan's hand as if to curry favor.

"Heh, interesting."

Gu Gu Hanyuan smiled.

"Right? The Lightning Marten is very cute. It loves eating poisonous snakes the most. It's a pity that I threw away all its food just now, I'll have to go catch some more later."

Zhong Ling pouted and complained, obviously still holding a grudge against Zuo Zuo Zimu and the others.

Gu Gu Hanyuan shook his head helplessly and said goodbye to Zhong Ling.

"Sister Ling'er, I'm leaving first."

"Ah, is Brother Brother Wutian leaving?"

Zhong Ling felt extremely reluctant.

Meeting Gu Gu Hanyuan felt like she had gained an older brother, and there was also a feeling in her heart that she didn't quite understand.

"Hmm, mountains and rivers will meet. Our fate is not yet over, and there will be a day to meet again."

After Gu Gu Hanyuan finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from Zhong Ling's sight in a short while.

"He just left like that, and I even wanted to take Brother Brother Wutian to meet my parents."

Zhong Ling's mood dropped instantly.

Duan Yu's mood was a bit strange; Gu Gu Hanyuan had glanced at him before leaving just now.

He inexplicably felt as if he were saying "Don't you dare make a move on Zhong Ling."

Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't really leave, but followed the two of them in secret.

If he were present, they wouldn't be in danger, and Duan Yu's plot wouldn't be able to develop as he had envisioned.

It was a good time to count his gains from just now.

Flirting with Zhong Ling, obtained an A-rank rating, 1900 villain points.

Disrupting the plot of Duan Yu and Zhong Ling's first meeting, affecting the initial favorability, obtained an A-rank rating, 1300 villain points.

The Zhong Ling series rating is currently S-rank, with a total of 3200 villain points, temporarily unavailable for collection.

A second series rating has appeared.

Gu Gu Hanyuan originally thought there wouldn't be one for Zhong Ling.

But thinking about it carefully, Duan Yu and Zhong Ling are not biological siblings, and in the revised ending, Zhong Ling was also named a concubine, so it doesn't seem wrong for her to be a heroine, even if her number is unknown.

Compared to Zhou Zhou Zhiruo, Zhong Ling's favorability towards Gu Gu Hanyuan might be even higher.

And Gu Gu Hanyuan also likes this innocent, kind, and elf-like cute girl.

It's as if there are no shadows, always running towards the sun.

The darker a person's heart is, the more they inevitably yearn for the light.

The Great Villain System choosing him might also be a kind of destiny.

Gu Gu Hanyuan saw in the dark that Duan Yu really started to meddle in other people's business, Yu Wanting to persuade the Shennong Gang to make peace.

As a result, they started fighting without agreeing on anything.

Zhong Ling released the Lightning Marten to bite the people of the Shennong Gang.

But in the end, both of them were captured.

Duan Yu was also fed the Heart-Breaking Powder and was forced to go to Wan Wan Jiegu for the antidote.

Chapter: Sister Ling'er Moves the Heart (Seeking collection, seeking flowers, seeking evaluation)

Unlike the original, Zhong Ling didn't give her shoes to Duan Yu this time, but took a hairband from her head and gave it to him.

Gu Gu Hanyuan felt a little gratified.

Shoes are too ambiguous for a girl.

Not giving the shoes to Duan Yu shows that she doesn't like him yet; it's probably just a friendship.

After Duan Yu left, Gu Gu Hanyuan saw Zhong Ling still looking unconvinced and saying to the leader of the Shennong Gang, Sikuang Sikuang Xuan:

"You'd better let me go, otherwise when my Brother Brother Wutian comes back, you'll be finished."

Because Zhong Ling met Gu Gu Hanyuan, especially after knowing how amazing he was, she had much more confidence.

She felt that even if Duan Yu couldn't come back in time to save her, she didn't need to worry about her own safety.

Gu Gu Hanyuan couldn't help but laugh or cry when he heard Zhong Ling's words.

I finally managed to hide in the dark, but you are publicizing my existence everywhere; what are you doing?

Although the identity of Brother Wutian is very famous in the Ming Guo now, almost all major sects are looking for him.

But this is the Song Guo, and the news hasn't spread that fast.

So Sikuang Sikuang Xuan has no idea who Brother Wutian is, and of course, he won't be afraid of him. Instead, he felt that Zhong Ling didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and wanted to teach her a lesson.

Gu Gu Hanyuan suddenly felt movement at his feet; it turned out that the Lightning Marten had secretly run to his side, and it was biting his trouser leg, signaling him to save its owner.

He sighed in his heart that it was troublesome.

At this time, Sikuang Sikuang Xuan's slap was about to land on Zhong Ling's face.

Zhong Ling shrank her head in fear and closed her eyes.

Thinking in her heart:

"Brother Brother Wutian, come quickly and save me."

She didn't know if her prayer had worked, but she didn't feel any pain on her face.

What she heard was a scream from Sikuang Sikuang Xuan, which scared her into opening her eyes.

But she saw one of his hands hanging limp, and the other hand clutching his shoulder, his face full of pain and dread.

Zhong Ling, who had come to her senses, saw the figure beside her.

It was still that dark-colored tight-fitting suit, wearing the Asura mask, and the aura on his body was becoming increasingly cold.

Yet Zhong Ling only felt warmth.

It was like a black sun, profound, yet warming people's hearts.

She changed her form of address subconsciously, thinking of being more intimate.

"Brother Brother Wutian! Hee hee. I knew you would come to save Ling'er."

Gu Gu Hanyuan handed the Lightning Marten he was holding in his arms to Zhong Ling.
