Chapter 296

She had to apologize to Gu Hanyuan:

"Brother Gu, I'm sorry. Mother is right; let's sleep separately tonight."

Gu Hanyuan lightly stroked Yue Lingshan's hair.

His eyes were gentle and doting as he comforted her:

"Shan'er, don't worry about it; there is still plenty of time."

Yue Lingshan shyly agreed and entered the room.

Ning Zhongze hadn't even let out a sigh of relief when Gu Hanyuan blocked her path.

"Mistress, may I have a word with you?"

Gu Hanyuan's tone was subtle.

Ning Zhongze's heart skipped a beat; she had an ominous premonition.

Feeling guilty, she didn't dare to refuse.

The two arrived at a secluded spot.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan silent, Ning Zhongze felt her ominous premonition intensify in this oppressive atmosphere.

She couldn't help but speak first:

"Young Hero Gu, is there something? We have to continue our journey tomorrow, so it's better to rest early."

Gu Hanyuan said with a serious and cold expression:

"The person outside the door last night was you, Mistress, right?"

These words were like a thunderclap on flat ground to Ning Zhongze.

She was startled and at a loss for what to do.

Just as she was about to refute, she heard Gu Hanyuan's cold, sharp voice.

"Mistress, there is no need to deny it. I consider my martial arts to be decent; while I can't say I can see every detail from a hundred meters away, I wouldn't mistake your beauty at last night's distance." ===== CHAPTER 298 =====

Just as she was about to retort, she heard Gu Hanyuan's cold and sharp voice.

"Madam need not deny it. I consider my martial arts to be quite good; while I cannot claim to see every fine detail from a hundred meters away, I would not mistake the beauty of Madam at last night's distance."
