Chapter 476
Yet no one dared to call him "Young Hero Gu."
The most special one should be Cheng Ying's "Big Brother Gu."
Cheng Ying stepped forward happily and said coquettishly:
"Big Brother Gu, why are you here?"
Gu Hanyuan said with a gentle smile:
"I have some friendship with both Villa Master Lu and Young Villa Master Lu. Hearing the news of their deaths, how could I not come to pay my respects."
Cheng Ying also felt some sadness in her heart,
especially feeling pity for her cousin Cheng Yaojia, who was widowed at such a young age.
However, she still thanked Gu Hanyuan:
"Thank you, Big Brother Gu."
"By the way, where is Wushuang? Her leg should be healed, right? Why don't I see her?"
Gu Hanyuan knew exactly where Lu Wushuang had gone,
but still asked curiously.
Cheng Ying explained to Gu Hanyuan:
"Wushuang went to the Lu family in Lin'an to report the funeral."
She thanked him again softly:
"Big Brother Gu, thank you for healing Wushuang's leg."
Gu Hanyuan reached out and gently stroked the hair on Cheng Ying's head,
and said with a gentle smile:
"Since you already call me Big Brother Gu, why be so distant? Whether for Wushuang or for you, healing Wushuang was what I should have done."
Gu Hanyuan knew Cheng Ying's heart knot very well,
so he spoke directly without any avoidance.
Cheng Ying's jade cheeks flushed red,
not only because of the overly intimate contact in public...
but also because her secret thoughts were exposed.
The joy of being cared for by the person she liked filled her heart,
and she was speechless with shyness for a moment.
Cheng Yaojia looked at the interaction between Gu Hanyuan and Cheng Ying with a strange expression.
How could she not know that something must have happened between them?
Cousins were also sisters.
This kind of relationship made her feel ashamed.
Gu Hanyuan could sense some of Cheng Yaojia's thoughts,
and although there was some deviation,
it wasn't far off.
Gu Hanyuan looked at Cheng Yaojia and said gently:
"Young Mistress, please restrain your grief."
Cheng Yaojia didn't dare to show too much in front of others.
After a brief exchange of glances, she thanked him:
"Thank you, Young Master Gu."
However, at this moment, a clamor came from outside the villa.
Cheng Yaojia and Cheng Ying's expressions turned ugly.
They saw four burly men with a group of fierce-looking subordinates break into Guiyun Villa.
The leading man was shirtless,
and had a scar on his left eye.
He looked quite fierce.
He laughed loudly:
"Haha, Young Mistress, have you considered it? Villa Master Lu and Young Villa Master Lu have both passed away. Guiyun Villa no longer has the power to command the Taihu bandits. Why not merge into my Yuliu Villa? Young Mistress can also become the Villa Mistress from Young Mistress; wouldn't that be wonderful?"
His meaning was very clear:
not only did he want Guiyun Villa to submit,
but he also wanted to take Cheng Yaojia as his wife.
Gu Hanyuan smiled contemptuously,
only feeling that this person was looking for his own death.
Cheng Yaojia's expression was quite ugly as she said:
"Fei Bao, don't daydream!"
This person's nickname was Red-Bearded Dragon,
and together with the three behind him—Curly Tiger Ni Yun, Taihu Dragon Bu Qing, and Thin-Faced Bear Di Cheng—they were known as the Four Heroes of Taihu.
Their nicknames were more ferocious than the last,
but in reality, they were just a group of bandits.
Fei Bao had come to coerce Cheng Yaojia,
and seeing her refuse,
he said fiercely:
"Guiyun Villa is already on the decline; in the future, Taihu will be the world of my Yuliu Villa's Four Heroes of Taihu. What's wrong with following me?"
Although Cheng Yaojia had some martial arts,
after years of life as a Young Mistress,
her martial arts had long been abandoned.
Martial power was a person's courage.
Without martial power,
her courage couldn't be very strong either.
So she was a bit unable to handle Fei Bao's coercion.
Gu Hanyuan didn't intend to let Cheng Yaojia continue to be troubled.
He said leisurely:
"What's the use of following a dead man?"
