Chapter 414

Her bright autumn eyes seemed to say:

"You performed well — I'll reward you later."

Gu Gu Hanyuan chuckled softly and swept his gaze over the crowd.

A'Zi was the most excited of all.

In her eyes, Gu Gu Hanyuan was the true great hero, the true great champion under heaven.

Having tasted the sweetness, she was even somewhat moved.

She alluringly stuck out her little pink tongue and licked the corner of her lips.

The only thing that dissatisfied her was that the one beside Gu Gu Hanyuan was not her.

But some little girl who had popped up out of nowhere.

Ruan Xingzhu and A'Zi were almost cut from the same mold.

The same thought.

The same stirring.

The same alluring gesture.

It seemed that ever since she had fought side by side with A'Zi and A'Zhu,

the mother-daughter telepathy had become far more in sync.

Often perfectly synchronized.

The look she gave Gu Gu Hanyuan conveyed a signal.

"Remember to come find us afterward."

The moment Ning Zhongze saw Gu Gu Hanyuan,

she instinctively touched the white jade bracelet on her wrist.

Her chest, too, grew hot without her realizing it.

That stretch of traveling together —

at the time, perhaps there had been more resentment.

Since parting until now,

the shy feelings had gradually overtaken the resentment.

When alone at night, she would recall it without meaning to.

After Yue Buqun suddenly demanded they sleep in separate rooms,

these uncontrollable memories only grew more frequent.

When Ning Zhongze's gaze met Gu Gu Hanyuan's,

she felt, inexplicably, a dry-mouthed, parched-tongued sensation.

Yue Yue Lingshan was brimming with the joy of seeing her lover.

The two had parted at the height of their sweetness.

She thought of Gu Gu Hanyuan almost every single moment.

In idle moments she could only practice the "Yuanling Sword Art" to dull this longing.

Her martial arts were improving very quickly.

Her senior and junior brothers could no longer withstand even three or two moves of hers.

The moment Abbess Dingyi saw Gu Gu Hanyuan, she was in a foul mood.

She didn't need to turn around to know that every disciple behind her surely wore the expression of a little fangirl.

Sister Sister Yilin's eyes were full of longing and admiration.

During this period she had been unable to see Gu Gu Hanyuan again.

Her longing grew with each passing day.

Her father, the un-restrained Monk, had been spouting nonsense at her side all day long.

The weight on her heart inevitably grew heavier.

It had the flavor of talking herself into a crush.

Gu Gu Hanyuan met her gaze and smiled in acknowledgment.

Which made Sister Sister Yilin's cheeks flush red.

For a moment she couldn't bear to look away.

Wang Wang Yuyan's face showed a delighted expression.

Right now she was shyly gazing at Gu Gu Hanyuan.

When Gu Gu Hanyuan was by her side, she hadn't noticed it.

After a long parting,

without Gu Gu Hanyuan's companionship,

she suddenly realized life seemed to have grown far more dull.

Especially when she saw Southern Southern Murong Fu again —

every word out of his mouth was still that same old talk of state affairs, martial arts, and schemes.

She instantly felt it was boring.

If it were like this for a lifetime,

even the most beautiful flower would wither.

That was why she had disregarded Gu Gu Hanyuan's advice and run out.

Just to see him once.

The two women behind Bai Wanjian were seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan for the first time.

They were not only amazed by the way he had made his entrance.

They were even more captivated by his exceptionally handsome appearance.

The still-young Bai Bai Axiu.

Admired heroic young men like Gu Gu Hanyuan the most.

The more she thought about it.

A blush rose on the shy, bashful Bai Bai Axiu's face.

Hua Wanzi had secretly loved Bai Wanjian for many years.

She looked at Bai Wanjian.

Who now lacked his usual arrogance and was respectful and courteous.

Her gaze was complicated.

Stepping out of the closed-off Xueshan Sect.

What did "Qi of the Northwest" Bai Wanjian even amount to?

Shi Qing and Min Rou, the husband and wife, both belonged to Wu Dangpai.

They were also of Gu Gu Hanyuan's martial uncles' generation.

They held the young hero Gu Gu Hanyuan in high regard.

Min Rou looked at the dashing, extraordinarily composed Gu Gu Hanyuan.

A faint sense of loss stirred in her heart.

Her son Shi Zhongyu was about the same age as Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Yet he only ever gave her headaches.

Daoist Chongxu's expression grew even more gratified.

He had thought he would still have to shield Gu Gu Hanyuan's path for a few more years.

Yet now Gu Gu Hanyuan had already grown to a level he could only look up to.

Daoist Tianxu was not familiar with Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Back then on Mount Wudang, they hadn't really talked much..

Daoist Tianxu was proud and face-loving by nature.

He was still a bit displeased that his Wu Gong had been surpassed by a junior.

The leader of the Song Guo imperial court was the then-Vice Chancellor and Vice Prime Minister Han Tuozhou.

In this world, the Song Guo traitors were so numerous two tables of mahjong couldn't seat them all.

But Han Tuozhou was still a man of real power.
