Chapter 303
Green Bamboo Old Man had limited talent and could understand it, but could not perform it.
But it was rare for Gu Hanyuan to visit.
It wouldn't do to just send him away like this.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to let Ren Yingying make the decision.
"This old man is indeed unable to perform it, but my aunt's musical skills are ten times better than mine. Young Master, please wait a moment. Let her take a look for you."
Gu Hanyuan's original purpose was Ren Yingying, so he naturally wouldn't object.
Ren Yingying had been secretly observing Gu Hanyuan when he first arrived.
He seemed even more handsome than when they last met, and his temperament was even more refined.
This was naturally the credit of the spiritual energy Gu Hanyuan had harvested recently.
Even the many little ducks Ren Yingying raised subconsciously gathered around Gu Hanyuan, unwilling to leave.
Gu Hanyuan amusedly drove these little creatures away.
Ever since the Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony, Ren Yingying had been looking for opportunities to contact Gu Hanyuan.
She was also very surprised to meet Gu Hanyuan here.
It felt a bit like "finding it without looking for it."
As one of the listeners who had the good fortune to hear the duet of the "Proudly Smiling Jianghu" by Liu and Qu that day, she was naturally very interested in the "Proudly Smiling Jianghu" score.
Now that Gu Hanyuan had delivered it to her door, it was killing two birds with one stone.
After Ren Yingying took Gu Hanyuan's score, she tried to perform it.
She had always been proud of her extremely high musical level.
She actually wanted to play both the qin and the xiao alone.
However, she soon couldn't keep up and had to give up with regret.
She let Green Bamboo Old Man invite Gu Hanyuan into the house.
"Young man, where did you get this score?"
Ren Yingying's voice, feigning old age, came out.
In reality, it was her deliberately pretending to be old.
Although the tone was low, the timbre was pleasant to the ear, gentle and...
Gu Hanyuan found it quite amusing that Ren Yingying was testing him in this way.
He didn't expose her either.
He accompanied Ren Yingying in acting:
"Granny, I am Gu Hanyuan. This score was gifted by two senior predecessors. If you are interested, Granny, I can tell you about it."
Gu Hanyuan told her about Liu and Qu one by one.
Ren Yingying listened and pondered for a moment before testing him:
"How does Gu Shaoxia view the two of them ignoring the struggle between good and evil and making friends through music?"
Gu Hanyuan acted serious and replied leisurely:
"The struggle between good and evil behind the two is nothing more than the struggle between the Five Mountains Sword Sects, or rather, the Songshan Sect and the Sun Moon Holy Sect. It is just for stance and interest. Where does 'good and evil' come from?"
"The Songshan Sect slaughters the innocent and wants to massacre Liu Zhengfeng's entire family; can they be considered 'good'? Qu Yang swore not to kill anyone from the righteous path for Liu Zhengfeng; how can he be considered 'evil'?"
"Making friends through music is about connecting hearts. If the hearts are not on the same frequency, the music played will inevitably be chaotic."
Gu Hanyuan could naturally see that Ren Yingying was probing him.
Therefore, almost every sentence hit the point in her heart.
She felt a great sense of having found a soulmate.
She couldn't wait to ask:
"Gu Shaoxia doesn't care about the struggle between good and evil?"
Gu Hanyuan smiled contemptuously:
"The struggle between good and evil? The Sun Moon Holy Sect's subordinates are of mixed quality. Many act strangely and abuse killing. The number of people killed every year is at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, right?"
Ren Yingying's expression turned ugly when she heard Gu Hanyuan describe the Sun Moon Holy Sect this way.
Yet, this was the truth.
Gu Hanyuan's eyes were deep.
"Then does Granny know how many die in war when the disaster of war arises between two countries? If it is a war of national extinction, the casualties will be more than ten million. Compared to that, isn't the so-called struggle between good and evil ridiculous?"
Ren Yingying was greatly surprised.
She had originally thought Gu Hanyuan was also the type of person who hated the Sun Moon Holy Sect and would kill them on sight.
She hadn't expected the conversation to turn to the struggle between countries.
This was also the general limitation of people in the Jianghu.
Their vision was not broad enough.
They only stared at the one-third of an acre of land before them.
"Does Granny know how the Han people live within foreign countries? 'Life is like grass,' and 'deep water and hot fire' are not enough to describe it."
"In recent years, the Sui Guo is on the verge of extinction, the Song Guo is deeply troubled, and the Ming Guo is in constant internal strife. Foreign countries like Jin and Qing are eyeing them covetously, and the Mongol Yuan even has the momentum to unify the world."
"The world is in chaos right before our eyes, yet it is laughable that people in the Jianghu are busy fighting and consuming themselves."
"My only wish is to expel the Tatars and restore China."
Speaking of this, Gu Hanyuan's voice was sonorous and powerful, his heroic spirit soaring to the sky.
Gu Hanyuan had his own ambitions.
It was rare to travel through time; if he couldn't stand at the top, wouldn't he lose face for all time-travelers?
Foreign countries must be destroyed, and the Central Plains countries must also be conquered.
Of course, he still had to maintain a "great, glorious, and correct" persona in front of others.
At this moment, Ren Yingying was conquered by Gu Hanyuan's heroic ambitions.
Although she had the heart for seclusion, that was just a helpless act of being tired of the fighting in the Jianghu.
She was the Saintess of the Sun Moon Holy Sect.
Her innate stance made it difficult for her to escape the strife.
However, Gu Hanyuan made her realize her own insignificance.
She couldn't help but sigh:
"How can a swallow know the ambition of a swan? Gu Shaoxia has great aspirations." ===== CHAPTER 305 =====
Foreign nations must be destroyed, and the nations of the Central Plains must also be conquered.
Of course, in front of others, one must still maintain a persona of greatness, brilliance, and righteousness.
At this moment, Ren Yingying was conquered by Gu Hanyuan's lofty aspirations.
Although she had a desire to live in seclusion,
that was merely a helpless act of being tired of the killing in the Jianghu.
She is the Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Divine Sect;
her innate position made it difficult for her to escape the strife.
However, Gu Hanyuan made her realize her own insignificance,
and she couldn't help but sigh:
"How can a swallow know the ambitions of a swan? Gu Shaoxia has great aspirations."
