Chapter 289: Venting for Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan

Ning Zhongze had never expected to see Gu Hanyuan under such circumstances.

She was even saved by him.

And was being held in his arms.

The heat of the large hand on Gu Hanyuan's waist made Ning Zhongze feel somewhat flustered.

Even in the cold, rainy night.

A faint blush could not be suppressed on her beautiful, jade-like face.

"Dragon-Capturing Skill!"

That evil-path expert had some discernment.

At a glance, he saw that Gu Hanyuan had used the "Dragon-Capturing Skill" to rescue Ning Zhongze.

At this moment, he was watching the newly arrived Gu Hanyuan with vigilance.

When Lu Bai saw Gu Hanyuan, he secretly thought, "It's over."

After the Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony.

The Songshan Sect had increased its efforts to monitor Gu Hanyuan.

They even learned of his might at Xingzilin.

Lu Bai did not believe his side's strength could surpass that of hundreds of Beggar Sect disciples and Xiao Feng.

With an ugly expression, he cupped his hands toward Gu Hanyuan and said:

"Young Hero Gu, long time no see."

However, Gu Hanyuan did not pay him any mind.

He just carried Ning Zhongze in his arms and walked over to Yue Lingshan's side in a leisurely manner.

He smiled gently and said:

"Lingshan, I'm here."

As he spoke, he released the acupoints of Yue Lingshan and Ning Zhongze.

As soon as Ning Zhongze could move, she hurriedly stepped back two paces.

She felt a strange sensation in her heart, provoked by Gu Hanyuan's embrace.

She watched silently as Gu Hanyuan and Yue Lingshan interacted.

Yue Lingshan asked in surprise:

"Brother Gu, why are you here?"

Gu Hanyuan tucked Yue Lingshan's messy, rain-drenched hair behind her ear.

He said softly:

"I heard the Huashan Sect had descended from Mount Huashan. I was worried about your safety, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect that there would truly be such lowly scoundrels who dared to lay a hand on you."

Yue Lingshan's face flushed red because of Gu Hanyuan's actions.

She thanked him shyly:

"Brother Gu, thank you."

In order to defeat Yue Buqun, Cheng Buyou had lived in seclusion for many years to practice his swordplay.

Therefore, he was somewhat slow regarding affairs in the Jianghu.

He did not recognize Gu Hanyuan.

He shouted at Gu Hanyuan:

"And who are you? You dare to meddle in the affairs of our Huashan Sword Sect?"

Lu Bai was startled by Cheng Buyou's words.

He cursed him as an idiot under his breath.

"Huashan Sword Sect? Mu Renqing?"

Gu Hanyuan glanced at him and asked casually.

"Brother Mu is cultivating on Chaoyang Peak and does not concern himself with Jianghu affairs. I am Cheng Buyou."

Cheng Buyou was very dissatisfied with Mu Renqing's refusal to return to Huashan to compete for the orthodoxy of the Huashan Sect.

His words were somewhat impolite.

"Cheng Buyou? Never heard of you."

Gu Hanyuan looked at the silent Ning Zhongze.

"Was it he who just tried to be disrespectful to Lady Yue?"

Ning Zhongze was stunned; she had not expected Gu Hanyuan to ask such a question.

She nodded subconsciously.

Seeing this, Gu Hanyuan drew his Hero Sword.

"Since you are Senior Mu's junior brother, I will give Senior Mu some face. I will sever one of your arms as punishment."

Cheng Buyou had already become vigilant when Gu Hanyuan was questioning Ning Zhongze.

Seeing him look like he was about to make a move, he decided to strike first.

He started with his most proficient and powerful move, the "Three Immortal Swords of Life-Taking."

However, a cold light flashed.

An arm holding a long sword flew into the sky.

Cheng Buyou let out a miserable scream, clutching his severed arm and rolling about in a sorry state.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan vent his anger for her, Ning Zhongze felt a shock in her heart.

Although she only assumed Gu Hanyuan had acted for the sake of Yue Lingshan. ===== CHAPTER 291 =====

Cheng Buyou let out a miserable shriek, clutching his severed arm as he rolled about in a wretched state.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan vent his anger on her behalf,

and directly take one of Cheng Buyou's arms,

Ning Zhongze felt a jolt in her heart.

Although she only assumed Gu Hanyuan had acted out of consideration for Yue Lingshan.
