Chapter 312: Ren Ren Yingying: I Didn't Mean to Deceive You

PS: Thanks to ◇﹏Waiting in Place for yesterday's update-ticket and tip—I was busy typing and forgot.

The cultists belonging to Yang Lianting saw him urging them on so urgently.

Fearing his power and his ruthless, vicious ways.

They had no choice but to intensify their assault on Ren Ren Yingying, regardless of casualties.

Ren Ren Yingying had already been struggling to hold her ground.

And now it was even harder to keep going.

In a moment of carelessness, her arm was stabbed.

Fresh blood dyed her sleeve red.

Seeing this, Elder Lüzhu was about to risk his life to cover Ren Ren Yingying's retreat.

But suddenly, a blazing crimson sword-qi exploded behind the Sun Moon Holy Cult cultists who were surrounding them.

At once, men and horses were thrown into chaos, wails of agony everywhere.

It also revealed Gu Gu Hanyuan, who had appeared wielding the Hero Sword.

His expression was cold and indifferent.

Paying no heed at all to the corpses on the ground or the gravely wounded cultists.

He walked, without pausing a single step, right up to Ren Ren Yingying.

And asked a single question:

"Grandma?"

Ren Ren Yingying had just been overjoyed that Gu Gu Hanyuan had come to the rescue.

That figure in white, elegant and carefree, handsome and dashing, treating a thousand armies as nothing—his bearing made her heart surrender all the more.

But that ice-cold question was like a bucket of ice water poured over her head.

It drenched Ren Ren Yingying straight through to the bone.

"I…"

"The Holy Lady of the Sun Moon Holy Cult?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan listened to Ren Ren Yingying's clear, delicate voice.

He waved his hand, cutting off her explanation.

Ren Ren Yingying gazed sorrowfully at Gu Gu Hanyuan's indifferent expression.

He had always been that warm, courteous—

Natural and sincere Gu Gu Hanyuan.

She had even, subconsciously, counted the two of them as friends.

And harbored, faintly, a secret admiration for him.

She never expected that once the truth came out—

Being met with his cold indifference would hurt this much.
