Chapter 277

Gu Hanyuan did not expect that he would end up eating the melon that was his own.

And Li Qingluo even wanted to betroth Wang Yuyan to him.

This was interesting.

A playful smile could not help but hang on Gu Hanyuan's face.

When Wang Yuyan heard Li Qingluo's words,

she instantly blushed deeply.

She did not expect that Li Qingluo would actually take the previous joke seriously.

In fact, Li Qingluo had not been idle since she learned about Gu Hanyuan from Wang Yuyan yesterday.

She had inquired from many sources and confirmed Gu Hanyuan's deeds.

The most outstanding young disciple of the Wudang Sect.

With a high probability of inheriting the position of Wudang Sect Master in the future.

Especially in terms of martial arts, his growth speed was extremely fast.

He had yet to meet a single defeat.

He had even defeated many experts who had been famous for many years.

Often fighting multiple opponents at once and still emerging victorious.

He could be said to be the most outstanding young expert in recent years.

In the Jianghu, the "Hero Sword" was vaguely ranked above "North Qiaofeng, South Murong."

Moreover, Gu Hanyuan's age was similar to Wang Yuyan's.

He was simply a perfect match that one could not find even with a lantern.

Li Qingluo also had her own little schemes.

If she had Gu Hanyuan's help,

she would surely be able to easily defeat rivals like Dao Baifeng.

And lock Duan Zhengchun firmly by her side.

That was why she had this conversation with Wang Yuyan tonight.

Wang Yuyan stammered:

"I only treat Brother Gu as an older brother. The person I like is Cousin."

Li Qingluo shouted coldly at Wang Yuyan:

"Hmph! I will not agree to you being with Murong Fu. Do not think about sneaking away again."

Li Qingluo shouted loudly:

"Granny Rui, lock Yuyan in the fertilizer room. Tell Granny Ping to watch her. Without my permission, no one is allowed to let her go."

Wang Yuyan said with a tearful, aggrieved voice:

"Mother! How can you be like this! Let me out!"

"When you have thought it through, I will let you out. Take her away."

Li Qingluo remained unmoved by Wang Yuyan's crying and shouting.

Granny Rui soon took Wang Yuyan away.

Li Qingluo sighed deeply with a headache.

"Sighing will take away happiness and good luck. What is the Lady worried about? Can you tell me? Perhaps I can help you resolve your confusion?"

Gu Hanyuan's voice sounded leisurely behind Li Qingluo.

Li Qingluo was startled and nearly fell off her stool.

Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan was quick-eyed and fast-handed, catching her.

"Be careful, Lady. If you were to fall and get hurt with such a beautiful face, I would feel heartbroken."

Since Li Qingluo parted with Duan Zhengchun, she had not been in such close contact with a man.

The sudden contact made her quite uncomfortable while also feeling a sense of dizziness.

After steadying herself and seeing Gu Hanyuan clearly, she asked in surprise:

"Why are you here?"

Gu Hanyuan said playfully:

"It seems I heard the Lady's worries in the dark. So I came to help you resolve your troubles."

Li Qingluo raised her eyebrows and shouted coldly:

"What nonsense are you talking about! Let go of me at once!"

The temperature of Gu Hanyuan's large hand burned through her clothes, making Li Qingluo's legs feel weak; she only wanted to put distance between them as soon as possible.

However, Gu Hanyuan did not grant her wish; instead, he pressed even closer and whispered in Li Qingluo's ear:

"Does the Lady want to call for help? I advise you not to do so. It would not be a good thing for others to see the Lady and me, a lone man and woman, alone in a room."

Li Qingluo's martial arts were low, and she struggled twice.

Finding that she could not break free, and instead was made to blush by the subtle tactile sensations,

and seeing that Gu Hanyuan was not afraid of her calling for help, she had no choice but to say helplessly:

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Gu Hanyuan lightly touched Li Qingluo's earlobe.

Only when she shuddered did he smile playfully:

"When I was traveling in the Jianghu, I learned many secret pieces of news."

Gu Hanyuan saw Li Qingluo's ear roots turning red and continued:

"For example, eighteen years ago, when your husband passed away, you had a secret meeting with the current Dali Southern Prince, Duan Zhengchun. Afterward, you suddenly had a posthumous child, who is the current Yuyan. I wonder if I am correct?"

Li Qingluo's expression shook.

She no longer cared about that faint contact.

"What evidence do you have?"

Gu Hanyuan was not so easily fooled.

He directly stated the most important reason:

"Does this matter need any evidence? Whether it is true or not, you should know in your heart."

Then, Gu Hanyuan stated what he had collected from Yin Susu regarding the situation of the Song Guo imperial court:

"Your husband's family is the currently red-hot Wang family of Song Guo. The head of the family, Wang Ziteng, has even taken the post of Commander of the Capital Garrison and is deeply trusted by the Emperor."

Gu Hanyuan was not surprised at all that this chaotic world had an extra "Dream of the Red Chamber."

"If the Wang family were to learn that you had an affair after your husband's death and even gave birth to a daughter, do you think the Wang family would retaliate?"

Although Li Qingluo's backing was very strong,

her mother, Li Qiu, had become the Princess of Xixia.

But Li Qiu did not care about Li Qingluo at all.

They had not seen each other for many years.

Her father, Wu Yazi, was still hanging around on Mount Leigu.

Moreover, Li Qingluo did not know that Wu Yazi was still alive.

Her foster father, Ding Chunqiu, did love her dearly.

Unfortunately, the mere Xingxiu Sect did not have the courage to stroke the whiskers of the Song Guo imperial court.

Gu Hanyuan saw that Li Qingluo had already wavered and struck while the iron was hot: "Moreover, you would not want Yuyan to know that her biological father is Duan Zhengchun, right? In that case, your dignity as a mother would be lost completely."

Li Qingluo knew that she had been manipulated.

But she still held a glimmer of hope:

"What exactly do you want?"

Gu Hanyuan pinched Li Qingluo's delicate chin.

A familiar smile curled on his lips.

"Of course, it is you, Lady."

Li Qingluo was not used to this posture of being in a subordinate position.

Her face became even more charmingly flushed.

Even when she was with Duan Zhengchun back then,

she had been the more dominant one. ===== CHAPTER 279 =====
