Chapter 40

"It was the one that came to me for help."

Of course, he wouldn't admit that he had actually been following behind the two the whole time; he directly dumped the blame onto the Lightning Mink.

Fortunately, the Lightning Mink's intelligence wasn't that high yet; at this moment, it was happily nudging around in Zhong Ling's arms.

Zhong Ling didn't take Gu Hanyuan's words seriously either, only feeling that he was saying one thing while meaning another.

He clearly cared about her very much, yet he acted cold and ruthless.

"The Lightning Mink is so well-behaved; I'll catch a few more poisonous snakes for you to eat later."

After pacifying the Lightning Mink, Zhong Ling blinked her big eyes and complained to Gu Hanyuan.

"Brother Wutian, they bullied Ling'er."

Sikong Xuan was already terrified of Gu Hanyuan.

Before, he had only seen a black shadow flash by, and before he could see what was happening, his own arm was already broken.

Hearing Zhong Ling's complaint at this moment, cold sweat poured down his face.

"This Senior, I didn't know the young lady was your sister before; please spare us, considering that we didn't harm her."

Gu Hanyuan looked at him coldly; since he had already made an appearance, there were no more scruples.

"Just now, when you captured Sister Ling'er, you injured her arm. One arm is not enough for compensation; break another arm and I'll spare your life. Everyone from the Shennong Gang present must also break an arm, and I'll let you live."

Zhong Ling listened from the side, moved, and secretly huffed again:

He even said the Lightning Mink asked for help, yet he even knew about her arm injury; he's saying one thing while meaning another.

"The Shennong Gang serves the Lingjiu Palace; please, Senior, spare us for the sake of the Tianshan Child Elder."

To save his arm, Sikong Xuan had to bring up the Lingjiu Palace.

In reality, how could the Tianshan Child Elder care about such a small character as him?

"You don't need to use the Tianshan Child Elder to pressure me; sooner or later, I will go to the Lingjiu Palace to meet her."

After hearing the name of the Tianshan Child Elder, a flash of brilliance passed through Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

The Lingjiu Palace was already his for the taking.

"Since you are unwilling to break an arm yourself, then I will help you."

Sikong Xuan wanted to continue pleading for mercy, but suddenly his vision blurred, and his intact shoulder sank.

With a "chi" sound, his entire arm had been torn off by Gu Hanyuan.

His scream had just been emitted when he heard similar screams rising one after another in the arena.

It turned out that all of his gang members and disciples had had an arm broken.

The ground was full of fallen arms and flowing blood.

It looked incredibly gruesome.

Even Zhong Ling showed an expression of unbearable pity.

Gu Hanyuan walked in front of Zhong Ling, lifted her dislocated left hand, and with a pull and a push, restored it.

After Zhong Ling moved it twice and found it was fine, a pure smile appeared on her face, and she wrapped both hands around Gu Hanyuan's arm, rubbing against it with her small chest without any avoidance.

"Let's go."

Gu Hanyuan ignored the screams all over the ground and left with Zhong Ling.

After walking not far, Zhong Ling still had lingering fears about the scene just now, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked:

"Brother Wutian, although the people from the Shennong Gang bullied Ling'er, wouldn't it be too cruel to break all their arms?"

"I'm a bad guy; isn't cruelty expected? If you're afraid, just stay away from me."

Hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, Zhong Ling hesitated for a moment, then, with a blushing face, wrapped her arm even tighter.

The wonderful sensation made Gu Hanyuan stiffen for a moment.

"Ling'er isn't afraid. I don't believe Brother Wutian would harm Ling'er."

Gu Hanyuan gave a bitter smile inside the mask.

He was slightly regretting it now.

As for what exactly he was regretting, even Gu Hanyuan himself hadn't figured it out.

"Sister Ling'er, since you have already escaped, why not go home yourself? It's too dangerous outside."

Recently, the winds and clouds were gathering in Dali, and there were many things happening; it would be best if Zhong Ling were willing to go home honestly.

Unfortunately, having just experienced the previous events, she didn't want to leave Gu Hanyuan's side at all now.

"I don't want to. Can Brother Wutian take Ling'er with you? Ling'er promises not to cause trouble."

Zhong Ling pleaded coquettishly.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Hanyuan said helplessly:

"You can follow, but you are not allowed to act without authorization, and you must obediently watch what I don't allow you to do. If you can't do that, I'll just throw you away."

"Okay! Ling'er will definitely listen to your commands; don't worry, Brother Wutian. Hee hee."

Seeing Gu Hanyuan agree, the smile on Zhong Ling's face became even more brilliant.

"Then where are we going now?"

"Just follow me."

Gu Hanyuan took Zhong Ling back to the Wuliangjian Sect.

After avoiding everyone, he went directly to the edge of the cliff in the forbidden ground.

"Hold on tight; I'll take you down."

Gu Hanyuan picked her up horizontally.

Zhong Ling obediently wrapped her hands around Gu Hanyuan's neck.

Peacefully smelling the masculine scent on Gu Hanyuan's body.

Listening to the rustling sound of the wind as they fell down the cliff.

She only felt that there was nothing more wonderful in heaven and earth than this moment.
