Chapter 247

"Don't cry anymore, you won't be pretty if you do."

"Who... who is crying?"

Lu Wushuang retorted stubbornly.

But that sad emotion was magically soothed away just like that.

The sensation of those fingertips made her heart feel a bit numb.

Thinking that he had just praised her for being pretty.

Her complexion was no longer pale, but instead flushed red.

When Gu Hanyuan took his hand away, she actually felt a slight reluctance.

"And Miss Cheng as well, if there is anything you need me to do, you can bring it up. You are also a victim of Mochou."

Cheng Ying did not expect that Gu Hanyuan would still remember her.

Although she also hated Li Mochou.

But with her gentle and indifferent temperament, she did not view hatred as that important.

Moreover, Gu Hanyuan had just saved her.

Seeing this, she thanked him softly:

"Young Master Gu, thank you for saving us just now."

Cheng Ying did not mention Li Mochou, taking care of Lu Wushuang's emotions.

Gu Hanyuan asked curiously:

"Come to think of it, how did you end up here?"

"Oh no."

Lu Wushuang exclaimed.

Because she had been too shocked by the matter of Li Mochou earlier.

She hadn't reacted in time.

Only now, upon hearing Gu Hanyuan's question, did she remember the important business.

Cheng Ying explained to Gu Hanyuan:

"Earlier, a foreign monk was for some reason wildly proclaiming that Swallow Dock and Mantuo Villa were hiding a large number of divine martial arts manuals. This attracted quite a few Jianghu people to come and snatch them. Guiyun Villa is also on Taihu Lake, and I don't know how it was targeted. We broke out to seek reinforcements."

Gu Hanyuan understood as soon as he heard it.

It was mostly likely that Kumārajīva wanted to view the martial arts manuals in the Huan Shi Pavilion and was refused.

He then heard that there were also a large number of martial arts manuals in the Langhuan Blessed Land.

It would be too damaging to his reputation to attack openly.

Therefore, he intended to use the hands of Jianghu people who coveted the martial arts manuals.

As for Guiyun Villa, it might not just be implicated.

Gu Hanyuan asked:

"Who was the person leading the team to besiege you just now?"

"'Thousand-Hand Human Butcher' Peng Lianhu."

As soon as Gu Hanyuan heard Cheng Ying mention Peng Lianhu, he knew what was going on.

Peng Lianhu had always been under the command of Prince Zhao of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Honglie.

In this world, the Jin Kingdom had not been destroyed.

Wanyan Honglie had therefore not died.

The Jin Kingdom had always had the intention of invading the Song Kingdom to the south.

Taihu Lake had a vast area, and roads extended in all directions.

It was very easy to hide an elite force.

Whether it was to attack Xiangyang City from both sides or to launch a surprise attack on Lin'an, there were opportunities.

Although Guiyun Villa's strength was not considered strong.

It had recruited many Taihu bandits.

If the Jin Kingdom could control Guiyun Villa, it would be more convenient for hiding.

And attacking Guiyun Villa while Jianghu people were attacking Swallow Dock and Mantuo Villa could also be disguised as being implicated.

Reducing the wariness of others.

Gu Hanyuan also set his sights on Guiyun Villa.

"So that's how it is. I have important business to verify at Swallow Dock this time, and I'm sending the young lady of Mantuo Villa back while I'm at it."

"The situation at Taihu Lake is chaotic now. Miss Cheng, please go to the carriage at the back and take care of Miss Wang and the others. I will take Wushuang to rescue Guiyun Villa."

Seeing Cheng Ying agree, Gu Hanyuan said to Lu Wushuang:

"Wushuang, please show me the way."

As he said this, he took her into his arms amidst Lu Wushuang's exclamation.

"Time is pressing, excuse me."

Gu Hanyuan took a step, and it was several zhang.

Even while carrying someone, his posture remained as graceful as an immortal.

Cheng Ying saw it clearly from behind the two, marveling:

"With such supreme lightness skill, no wonder he can be famous in the Jianghu. It's just a pity I couldn't see his rumored unfathomable sword technique."

Cheng Ying's expression was somewhat inexplicable.

Over the past month, no matter where she went, she would hear Gu Hanyuan's name.

Even someone as quiet and indifferent as her could not help but feel curious and respectful toward Gu Hanyuan.

After truly meeting him, she was not only amazed by Gu Hanyuan's more handsome appearance and high martial arts than rumored.

That unique temperament, distinct from ordinary Jianghu people, left an even deeper impression on her.

She thought: No wonder he could dissolve Li Mochou's hatred and make her fall in love with him.

Take Lu Wushuang, for example.

Cheng Ying and she were cousins, familiar with each other since childhood.

Don't look at Lu Wushuang's appearance of hating Li Mochou...

But she had no resistance to Gu Hanyuan's closeness.

If she had been touched by other men, she would have already slashed them.

However, she had instead been soothed by Gu Hanyuan just now.

Cheng Ying would not believe it if Lu Wushuang didn't have a good impression of Gu Hanyuan.

Especially when she saw the three beautiful women, each with their own merits, walking out of the carriage.

She had a new understanding of Gu Hanyuan's romantic luck.

On this side, Lu Wushuang, after the initial fright.

Became interested in Gu Hanyuan's magical lightness skill.

That feeling of moving at lightning speed made her somewhat fascinated.

The Ancient Tomb Sect's martial arts were mainly based on agility, and their lightness skill was even more unique.

However, because of her lame foot, her lightness skill had always been average.

To avoid the wind filling her mouth.

Lu Wushuang leaned close to Gu Hanyuan's ear and said:

"How is your lightness skill so powerful?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled and said:

"Want to learn?"

Lu Wushuang perked up as soon as she heard this.

"Can you teach me?"

"I am your Grand-Master, why can't I teach you?"

Gu Hanyuan's eyes carried a playful look.

He deliberately mentioned the two words "Grand-Master."

Sure enough, Lu Wushuang lost interest immediately, her expression listless.

Especially when she looked at Gu Hanyuan's handsome profile. ===== CHAPTER 249 =====
