Chapter 323

Especially since Gu Hanyuan had only fought Ding Chunqiu to vent for her,

she felt a sense of reflected glory.

She thought sweetly to herself:

Having such a protective brother-in-law doesn't seem bad at all.

Gu Hanyuan ignored the thoughts of the onlookers.

With Ding Chunqiu's poison arts ineffective, his threat was reduced by more than half.

The Hero Sword in his hand swept across the air again.

"A Sword Becomes Famous" transformed into a streak of silver light.

Ding Chunqiu's body was frozen stiff,

and he couldn't dodge in time.

With a scream,

a bloody hole was poked in his shoulder.

Before blood could flow out, it was frozen by the residual cold Qi.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan intended to take his life,

he hurriedly begged for mercy:

"Gu Shaoxia, I am Li Qingluo's foster father. You cannot kill me."

Hearing him say this, Gu Hanyuan

withdrew the Hero Sword that was aimed at Ding Chunqiu's throat.

He said with a cold, sharp expression:

"Ding Chunqiu, I advise you not to lie to me. Otherwise, I will kill you even if you flee to the ends of the earth."

Ding Chunqiu was on the verge of death.

He spoke extremely fast:

"I'm not lying. I really am A-Luo's foster father."

"For the sake of Madam Wang, I will spare your life. Stay away from Azi in the future. Get lost!"

After Gu Hanyuan finished speaking, he sheathed the Hero Sword.

He no longer paid attention to Ding Chunqiu, who fled in a sorry state.

Gu Hanyuan had never intended to kill Ding Chunqiu;

he had just found an excuse to let him go.

Gu Hanyuan liked people who were greedy for life and afraid of death the most.

Such people were easy to control.

If everyone were righteous and fearless of death,

Gu Hanyuan would have a headache instead.

Su Xinghe was the most excited after Gu Hanyuan let Ding Chunqiu go.

He didn't even care about his vow of silence.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he said:

"Gu Shaoxia, why did you let Ding Chunqiu go!"

"I have a past with Madam Wang."

Gu Hanyuan glanced at Su Xinghe,

gave a casual explanation,

and then ignored the distraught Su Xinghe.

Gu Hanyuan said to Azi with some apology:

"Azi, brother-in-law failed to kill Ding Chunqiu."

Azi said with a wronged expression:

"Then what if Ding Chunqiu comes back to bully me?"

Gu Hanyuan said with a cold, sharp expression:

"If Ding Chunqiu doesn't learn his lesson, I'll take his dog life next time."

"Really? Brother-in-law, you are the best."

Azi was completely infatuated by Gu Hanyuan's protective demeanor.

She giggled and hugged Gu Hanyuan's arm,

touching him without any reservation.

Hmm, truly youthful and vibrant.

Gu Hanyuan stroked the hair on her head with some helplessness.

Azi immediately showed an expression of enjoyment.

Ruan Xingzhu looked at their intimacy with a strange expression.

As a woman herself, how could she not see that Azi had a budding affection for Gu Hanyuan?

Although she felt some worry that both her daughters were infatuated with Gu Hanyuan,

she had to admit that Gu Hanyuan was indeed very charming.

Even she had just felt envious of Azi being protected.

But then she thought about it:

She was A-Zhu and Azi's mother.

If one really calculated it, wasn't she also in the category of people Gu Hanyuan protected?

This thought made Ruan Xingzhu's heart leap, while also feeling a bit shy.

There was always a strange feeling of competing for a man with her daughter.

After Gu Hanyuan pacified Azi,

he looked at the Four Great Evildoers.

He shouted in a deep voice:

"Are you going to get lost yourselves, or are you waiting for me to invite you to get lost?"

Duan Yanqing's face looked ugly.

He could clearly feel that Gu Hanyuan was even harder to deal with now.

Even after being scolded so rudely,

he didn't dare to provoke him at all.

With a dark face, he signaled the other two to leave with him.

Azi loved to show off the most.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan had scared away the notorious Four Great Evildoers with just a few words,

especially Yun Zhonghe, who had been leering at her and her mother Ruan Xingzhu earlier,

and who fled the moment he saw Gu Hanyuan,

she hugged his arm even tighter.

A blush also appeared on her face.

Gu Hanyuan driving Duan Yanqing away was, of course, to prevent Xuzhu from accidentally solving the Zhenlong Chess Formation.

Without Duan Yanqing's help,

how could Xuzhu have the chess skill to solve the Zhenlong Chess Formation?

Just go back to being your obedient little monk.

Li Qinglu is not someone you can handle.

Gu Hanyuan glanced at Xuzhu in the crowd with a playful look.
