Chapter 35
Compared to the stupid Qin Qin Hongmian.
Gu Gu Hanyuan inexplicably missed Yin Yin Susu.
Although she had also been tricked by him, she still had ability; he should go and comfort her when he had time.
Mu Mu Wanqing didn't expect Gu Gu Hanyuan’s critique of her mother to be so sharp, yet she didn't know how to refute it.
Although she also had a radical personality, she was much smarter than Qin Qin Hongmian.
But that was her mother, after all, so she couldn't say much, and she changed the question:
"If it were you, what would you do?"
Mu Mu Wanqing had previously seen Zhong Ling deeply in love with Gu Gu Hanyuan, and since he had molested her and watched her bathe, even if he wasn't as irresponsible as Duan Duan Zhengchun, he wouldn't be a single-minded person, so she had this question.
Gu Gu Hanyuan smiled contemptuously.
"Not all men are as incompetent as Duan Duan Zhengchun. A mere title—how hard is it to give?"
Perhaps after experiencing her sweetheart turning into a brother and learning about Qin Qin Hongmian, her originally radical personality had improved quite a bit, and she understood her mother’s thoughts.
After Mu Mu Wanqing’s mood was complex for a moment, she stared at the mask on Gu Gu Hanyuan’s face and inexplicably said a sentence.
"Can you take off your mask and let me see?"
Gu Gu Hanyuan, however, began to smile wickedly.
"Of course not; my mother once said that if any girl takes off my mask, I must marry her."
This wasn't entirely a lie; while playing the identity of Brother Wutian, he had been recognized, and anyone who saw his face would naturally be married.
Just like Zhong Ling, who had already been designated.
Mu Mu Wanqing didn't expect Gu Gu Hanyuan to use a vow similar to her own to block her, and she was ashamed and angry.
"By the way. I heard Miss Mu once vowed that the first person to take off your veil and see your face would either be married or killed by you. So, I wonder if the first person to see your body should be married or killed?"
Gu Gu Hanyuan teased with great interest.
This was also something he had planned when he plotted the pool incident earlier.
"You!"
Mu Mu Wanqing didn't expect to be teased by Gu Gu Hanyuan with her own words, and in her shame and anger, she forgot the gap in their strength and raised her hand to shoot a sleeve arrow.
Gu Gu Hanyuan easily dodged the sleeve arrow.
"Haha, it seems Miss Mu intends to kill me. In that case, you must live well before killing me; otherwise, if you die with unwillingness and resentment, you will turn into a fierce ghost."
After finishing, he didn't look at Mu Mu Wanqing’s expression, used his light-body technique, and left her with only his back.
Mu Mu Wanqing’s face was flushed red, and she stomped her feet in hatred, Yu Wanting to ride Black Rose to chase him.
Suddenly, she covered her mouth and laughed.
She felt that Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't want her to think negatively and jump off the cliff, which was why he said that.
She suddenly understood Zhong Ling a little.
But thinking of Zhong Ling, she had some inexplicable emotions in her heart.
The reason Gu Gu Hanyuan left, besides feeling that the timing was right, was also because he felt Duan Duan Yanqing should be arriving soon.
If they bumped into each other directly, it would be a bit troublesome, so it was better to leave in advance.
By the way, he checked the system evaluation he had just obtained.
Mind wavering, S-rank evaluation, 2600 villain points.
The current series evaluation was SS-rank, with a cumulative 7100 villain points, temporarily unavailable for collection.
Mu Mu Wanqing had indeed begun to waver; it was worth the effort he had spent.
Next, he just needed to go to Wan Wan Jiegu and wait.
Sure enough, before long, Mu Mu Wanqing, who was still complex and dazed, was abducted by Duan Duan Yanqing.
Because he wasn't in too much of a hurry and had to wait for the other three villains to go to the Prince of Lin Zhennan’s mansion to abduct Duan Yu as well, Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't move fast.
Unexpectedly, a sound of hoofbeats came from behind.
It was Black Rose, which had lost its master.
Seeing Black Rose come to Gu Gu Hanyuan’s side, it tugged at his sleeve with its mouth, as if Yu Wanting to take him somewhere.
"You want me to save your master, right? Don't worry, just follow me."
Gu Gu Hanyuan amusedly stroked Black Rose’s head to comfort it.
Black Rose seemed to understand Gu Gu Hanyuan’s words and followed obediently behind him without causing trouble.
Gu Gu Hanyuan lamented again that the animals in this world were far too spiritual.
The man and horse arrived at Wan Wan Jiegu.
Gu Gu Hanyuan, who had long since learned how to enter and exit Wan Wan Jiegu from Zhong Ling, entered the valley easily.
After letting the servant guarding the gate go in to report, a nimble figure ran out after a short while.
It was Zhong Ling, who had stayed at home for the night.
After dressing up well at home, Zhong Ling looked even more bright and beautiful, and she rushed toward Gu Gu Hanyuan with a surprised smile on her face.
"Brother Brother Wutian!"
Even when surprised, Zhong Ling still remembered not to call him the wrong name.
Clearly, she had truly kept every word of Gu Gu Hanyuan’s in her heart.
Gu Gu Hanyuan naturally understood Zhong Ling’s thoughts, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
He caught the rushing Zhong Ling and spun her around.
"Why are you running so fast? What if you fall?"
"Brother Brother Wutian, Ling'er missed you."
For the first time, Zhong Ling understood what it meant to be separated for a day that felt like three autumns.
Although it had only been one night, she had been missing Gu Gu Hanyuan the whole time.
Even when facing her parents’ questions, she had been absent-minded.
"Ling'er, are your parents here?"
"Mom and Dad seem to have things to do and went out early this morning. Eh, isn't this Black Rose? Why is it following Brother Brother Wutian? Where is Sister Mu?"
Only then did Zhong Ling notice that Black Rose was actually following Gu Gu Hanyuan, but Mu Mu Wanqing was nowhere to be seen.
"Miss Mu seems to have been abducted by someone, and Black Rose came to me for help."
Gu Gu Hanyuan explained the ins and outs to Zhong Ling, including what happened between Duan Duan Zhengchun and his lovers last night, but he concealed the fact that he had gone to find Mu Mu Wanqing.
"Brother Brother Wutian, you’re saying my dad is Duan Duan Zhengchun, Zhong Zhong Wanchou isn't my biological father? Duan Yu is my biological brother? Sister Mu is my biological sister?"
Zhong Ling was quite surprised by this fact, even a bit confused.
"Yes, your mother has already given your birth date to Duan Duan Zhengchun. Even if you don't ask, Duan Duan Zhengchun will come to recognize you sooner or later. I’ll go save Miss Mu first; Ling'er, you take Black Rose down and settle it well, don't let it run around anymore."
Zhong Ling subconsciously took the reins Gu Gu Hanyuan handed her; she hadn't yet recovered from the blow of learning the truth.
It wasn't until Gu Gu Hanyuan had been gone for a while that she dreamily led Black Rose back.
After all, it was normal not to be able to accept that Zhong Zhong Wanchou, who had raised her for more than a decade, was suddenly not her biological father.
But Gu Gu Hanyuan wasn't worried about Zhong Ling, because her greatest strength was being sunny and open-minded; she wasn't the type to get stuck in a rut, she just needed a little time.
Although the secret room where Zhong Zhong Wanchou held Duan Yu and Mu Mu Wanqing was very hidden, Mu Mu Wanqing had Gu Gu Hanyuan’s divine sense tracker on her, so he found the place very easily.
The secret room was made entirely of stone, with only a skylight on the roof, one zhang high.
The skylight was placed so high, clearly to prevent anyone from escaping through it.
