Chapter 315

After Gu Gu Hanyuan left Green Bamboo Alley, he took out an invitation.

He had received it while still at Swallow Dock.

And both he and Southern Murong Fu had received one.

It was an invitation from the Wise Debating Mr. Su Xinghe inviting him to Drumbeat Mountain.

Calculating the time, it was about right.

That night, Yue Yue Lingshan, having tasted the marrow and grown fond of it, secretly ran to the inn room where Gu Gu Hanyuan stayed.

Afterwards, Gu Gu Hanyuan gently stroked Yue Yue Lingshan's smooth skin.

"Shan'er, I must leave tomorrow."

Hearing this, Yue Yue Lingshan forgot all about covering herself.

She straightened up and asked:

"Brother Gu, where are you going?"

"To Drumbeat Mountain."

Gu Gu Hanyuan did not hide it.

He told her the destination directly.

How could Yue Yue Lingshan bear to part with Gu Gu Hanyuan? She pleaded:

"Take me with you, okay?"

"Your parents won't agree. Moreover, after learning the Yin Yang Jue and the Yuan Ling Jian Fa, your strength is not weak. You also have the responsibility to protect your fellow disciples."

Gu Gu Hanyuan shook his head and refused.

He could reach Drumbeat Mountain by "flying on his sword" all by himself.

Taking Yue Yue Lingshan along would only be troublesome.

Yue Yue Lingshan was, after all, a sensible person.

And she agreed with what Gu Gu Hanyuan said.

Though reluctant, she still chose to respect Gu Gu Hanyuan's decision.

683 But she couldn't help but demand a bit more.

Gu Gu Hanyuan looked at Yue Yue Lingshan, who was no good but loved to play, with some amusement.

In the end, he showed her mercy.

The next day.

Gu Gu Hanyuan bid farewell to Yue Buqun and others.

"Sect Master Yue, I have urgent matters to attend to. I can no longer travel with you."

"What is Mr. Gu saying? Thanks to Mr. Gu these past few days, the Huashan Sect has been spared harassment from the Songshan Sect."

Yue Buqun was very polite to Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Lady Ning Zhongze's expression was somewhat unnatural.

The recent changes in her thoughts had made her panic.

Being able to stay away from Gu Gu Hanyuan was naturally the best outcome.

But in her heart, there was also a reluctance she was unwilling to admit.

Sure enough, when Gu Gu Hanyuan looked over.

She guiltily averted her gaze.

She hid the white jade bracelet on her wrist within her sleeve.

How could Gu Gu Hanyuan not see through Lady Ning Zhongze's pretense?

He felt even more pleased by her change.

After Gu Gu Hanyuan bid farewell to everyone.

He subtly formed words with his mouth to Lady Ning Zhongze:

"Thank you, Lady, for your care."

Lady Ning Zhongze was startled at first.

Seeing that no one had noticed.

A blush rose to her face.

How could she not know what the so-called "care" referred to?

She only felt the white jade bracelet on her wrist and the "go" ad? die, mom in her heart growing slightly hot.

Her cheeks even seemed to ache as if from a hallucination.

Gu Gu Hanyuan then proceeded to Green Bamboo Alley.

When Ren Ren Yingying saw Gu Gu Hanyuan, she was extremely delighted.

Although the Old Man of Green Bamboo had comforted her yesterday.

He had not been able to ease her mood of fearing gain and loss.

Now that she truly saw Gu Gu Hanyuan again.

Her delight had overwhelmed her reserve.

She came out to welcome Gu Gu Hanyuan without even wearing her veil.

Her face full of delighted smiles, she said:

"Gu Gu Hanyuan, you have come."

Gu Gu Hanyuan looked at the charming Ren Ren Yingying.

With a smile on his face, he said:

"I'm leaving Luoyang. We've known each other, after all—I ought to bid you a proper farewell, Young Lady Ren."
