Chapter 290

She could not help but feel her favor for him increase greatly.

Lu Bai secretly thought, "As expected."

It was a pity that Cheng Buyou was now crippled and had no further value.

The evil-path experts present looked at each other in dismay.

A sense of horror arose in their hearts.

Seeing that Cheng Buyou, who was only slightly inferior to him, had his arm severed in one move, Yue Buqun was amazed by Gu Hanyuan's martial arts while becoming even more eager for the *Evil-Warding Sword Manual*.

"Lingshan, were they the ones who bullied you?"

Yue Lingshan was still shocked by Cheng Buyou's fate.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan ask her, she guessed he was going to vent her anger for her as well.

He couldn't just vent for her mother, Ning Zhongze, and not for her.

Her tone immediately became sweet:

"They were the ones who bullied me. Brother Gu, please teach them a lesson for me."

Seeing this, Lu Bai hurriedly stepped forward to persuade:

"Gu Shaoxia, it's all a misunderstanding. Why resort to such violence?"

Gu Hanyuan said coldly:

"Heh, no one can touch my people and leave unscathed."

As he spoke, he slaughtered his way into the group of evil-path experts.

Although they resisted with all their might.

The gap in strength was enormous.

They didn't even have the power to fight back.

Even kneeling and begging for mercy was useless.

They could not escape the fate of being killed in one strike.

Before long, the ground was littered with corpses.

After killing them, Gu Hanyuan looked at Lu Bai with a cold, sharp gaze.

"Lu Bai, do you want me to experience the Songshan Sect's high-level moves once more?"

Lu Bai's expression changed drastically.

"Gu Shaoxia is joking. I was just passing by. Farewell."

Seeing that things had reached this point, he didn't dare to provoke him further and fled directly.

He even kindly took Cheng Buyou with him.

Yue Buqun, whose acupoints had been released by Ning Zhongze, stepped forward to thank him:

"Many thanks to Gu Shaoxia for your help."

"It's nothing. They laid a hand on Lingshan, so they deserved to die."

Gu Hanyuan directly threw the reason for his actions onto Yue Lingshan.

Sure enough, Yue Lingshan's eyes were filled with admiration.

Her heart was stirred, and she wanted to hold Gu Hanyuan's arm and act spoiled.

But seeing that her own clothes were soaked through, while Gu Hanyuan hadn't a drop of rain on him, she hesitated for a moment.

Gu Hanyuan smiled and took Yue Lingshan's soft hand.

Before long, the clothes on her body were steamed dry by his internal energy.

This miraculous use of internal energy made Yue Lingshan feel even more pleasantly surprised amidst her astonishment.

"Brother Gu, you are so amazing."

She cried out sweetly and threw herself into Gu Hanyuan's arms to act spoiled.

She made contact with him without any hesitation.

Even though she was already blushing with a beautiful, rosy face, she did not let go.

Yue Buqun was shaken to his core on the side.

He had not expected that Gu Hanyuan was not only proficient in swordplay but also possessed unfathomable internal energy cultivation.

Seeing Yue Lingshan's appearance of having secretly given her heart to him, his eyes flickered.

Gu Hanyuan had acted for Yue Lingshan's sake this time.

If the two could truly consummate their relationship, then the Huashan Sect would have a backer in the future.

Although he couldn't restore the prestige of the Huashan Sect, at least when Zuo Lengchan wanted to make a move against the Huashan Sect, he would have to have some misgivings.

Ning Zhongze watched Yue Lingshan and Gu Hanyuan's intimacy with a smile.

After the Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony, she no longer opposed Yue Lingshan liking Gu Hanyuan.

Now that there was the grace of being saved, she was even more satisfied with Gu Hanyuan.

It was just that the strange sensation brought about by that brief contact earlier made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

As for Linghu Chong, who was still lying on the ground, Ning Zhongze could only express her regrets.

Linghu Chong was watching Gu Hanyuan and Yue Lingshan at this moment, his eyes dim.

Ever since the Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony, Yue Lingshan had never been intimate with him again.

She hadn't even come to deliver food when Linghu Chong was punished and sent to the Cliff of Repentance.

If not for Lu Dayou's help, he might have starved to death at the Cliff of Repentance.

Later, he accidentally learned the "Dugu Nine Swords" from Feng Qingyang.

He had wanted to use this to resolve the Huashan Sect's crisis, but he hadn't expected to end up in such a state.

For a moment, he felt extremely desperate.

Gu Hanyuan glanced out of the corner of his eye at Linghu Chong, who was lying on the ground in a sorry state, ignored by everyone.

A subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In the end, it was Ning Zhongze who first remembered this beloved eldest disciple.

She helped him up and handed him over to Lao Denuo, who had no injuries, to take care of. ===== CHAPTER 292 =====

As for Linghu Chong, who was still sprawled on the ground,

Ning Zhongze could only express her regrets.

Linghu Chong, looking at Gu Hanyuan and Yue Lingshan at this moment,

had a dark and gloomy gaze.

Ever since the Golden Basin Hand-Washing Assembly,

Yue Lingshan had no longer been close to him.

She hadn't even come to deliver food when Linghu Chong was punished and sent to the Face-Reflecting Cliff.

If not for Lu Dayou's help,

he might have starved to death on the Face-Reflecting Cliff.

Later, he accidentally learned the "Nine Swords of Dugu" from Feng Qingyang.

He had hoped to use this to resolve the Huashan Sect's crisis,

but never expected to end up in such a state.

For a moment, he felt exceptionally desperate.

Gu Hanyuan cast a sidelong glance at the wretched figure sprawled on the ground,

Linghu Chong, whom no one was paying any attention to.

A subtle smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

In the end, it was Ning Zhongze who first remembered this beloved eldest disciple.

She helped him up and handed him over to Lao Denuo, who had no significant injuries, to look after.
