Chapter 436

Both women believed that with Gu Hanyuan's nature of hating evil,

his choice to spare the Blood Knife Ancestor was entirely for their safety.

The Blood Knife Ancestor saw that although Gu Hanyuan had threatened him,

he had still agreed to his request.

His heart felt a sense of relief.

After all, the more famous a person was,

the more they cherished their reputation.

They would not easily break their word.

He flattered him with a hint of obsequiousness:

"Ancestor still believes in Young Master Gu's promise. I wonder which one Young Master Gu wants Ancestor to release first?"

Both women saw Gu Hanyuan looking at them.

Hua Wanzi spoke first:

"Young Master Gu, please save Axiu first."

Bai Axiu's expression became anxious upon hearing this.

She hurriedly refused:

"No, let Sister Hua go first."

Although the two women were of different generations,

they usually addressed each other as sisters.

Hua Wanzi saw Bai Axiu's opposition.

A flash of inspiration struck her:

"Young Master Gu, Axiu likes you. You cannot let her be sad."

Bai Axiu's face turned bright red upon hearing Hua Wanzi say this.

She stole a glance at Gu Hanyuan.

And said shyly in a low voice:

"Sister Hua is talking nonsense, I don't like anyone..."

However, Hua Wanzi teased:

"At South Shaolin, your eyes were almost glued to Young Master Gu, yet you still won't admit it."

Bai Axiu was teased by Hua Wanzi like this.

And was too shy to speak.

Hua Wanzi saw this and laughed boldly:

"Young Master Gu, let Axiu go first."

Gu Hanyuan nodded and said:

"Since that is the case, Blood Knife Ancestor, release Miss Bai first."

Although Hua Wanzi had said with her mouth that she wanted Gu Hanyuan to save Bai Axiu first,

looking at Bai Axiu's young and beautiful face,

when Gu Hanyuan truly followed her words and let the Blood Knife Ancestor release Bai Axiu first,

she felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.

A woman's discrepancy between her words and heart was vividly displayed at this moment.

The Blood Knife Ancestor then unsealed Bai Axiu's acupoints as instructed.

Bai Axiu walked to Gu Hanyuan's side.

Looking at Gu Hanyuan's gentle smiling face,

the blush on her face deepened.

She lowered her head and said softly:

"Young Master Gu, thank you."

Gu Hanyuan smiled gently:

"Miss Bai, you are welcome."

He looked at the Blood Knife Ancestor, who was still holding Hua Wanzi, and said coldly:

"Can you release Miss Hua now?"

Although the Blood Knife Ancestor believed that Gu Hanyuan would not break his word,

he still retreated a few steps cautiously.

He saw him throw Hua Wanzi to the side.

Where a knife was stuck in the ground.

And the Blood Knife Ancestor jumped into a tunnel he had dug long ago to escape.

This was all something he had arranged days in advance.

In order to safely complete the task given by Wutian,

the Blood Knife Ancestor had really gone all out.

Gu Hanyuan had no intention of pursuing him at all.

Hua Wanzi was somewhat panicked when she was thrown out by the Blood Knife Ancestor.

Immediately after, she saw the gleaming tip of the knife pointing directly at her.

Her acupoints were still sealed.

If she continued to collide with it, she would surely die.

She did not know if Gu Hanyuan would be able to save her in time.

She could only watch helplessly as the tip of the knife got closer and closer.

So close that she closed her eyes in despair.

But the pain did not come.

Instead, she fell into a warm embrace.

However, the heat coming from the leather armor in front of her made her heart tremble.

She heard Gu Hanyuan's apologetic voice in her ear.

"Miss Hua, the situation was urgent, please forgive me."

Then she was helped up by Gu Hanyuan.

The heat in front of her also departed.

But Hua Wanzi's face was covered in a rosy glow.

This was the first time they had such intimate contact.

The temperature of those large hands still made her feel faintly burning even now.

Hua Wanzi also knew that she could not blame Gu Hanyuan in such an emergency.

She lowered her head and thanked him shyly:

"It is fine, you did it to save me."

A flash of playfulness crossed Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

Although the leather armor somewhat affected the tactile sensation,

he could still feel its softness and elasticity.

Bai Axiu felt relieved when she saw Gu Hanyuan save Hua Wanzi...

She thanked him again in a sweet voice:

"Thank you, Young Master Gu."

Gu Hanyuan reached out and gently stroked the hair on the young girl's head.

He smiled gently:

"You are welcome."

Bai Axiu's face turned red to the roots of her ears.

She subconsciously wondered if Gu Hanyuan had only been this intimate because he heard she liked him.

She said shyly in a voice as soft as a mosquito: ===== CHAPTER 438 =====

She said shyly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum:
