Chapter 523

Gu Hanyuan's solemn voice made Seeing Ning Zhongze's heart tremble,

and the blood drained from her face.

It was not just disappointment in Yue Buqun,

but also lamenting that the relationship between her and Gu Hanyuan would enter the unknown.

If things went poorly,

they would really become enemies as Gu Hanyuan had said.

Seeing Ning Zhongze was originally a righteous person,

and was extremely resentful of Yue Buqun's actions,

but the foundation of the Huashan Sect held her back.

She said sadly:

"Hanyuan, I can understand why Senior Brother had to plot for the 'Evil-Warding Sword Manual.' I also want to destroy my relatives for the sake of justice, but he is my husband after all."

After Seeing Ning Zhongze finished speaking, she waited silently for his verdict.

No matter how Gu Hanyuan chose,

Seeing Ning Zhongze would not blame him.

Gu Hanyuan sighed long,

as if lamenting for Seeing Ning Zhongze,

and as if lamenting for his own choice.

He tightened his hands around Seeing Ning Zhongze's waist,

and said powerlessly:

"The Songshan Sect is eyeing us covetously, and the Huashan Sect is in a precarious situation. If I weren't worried about implicating you, Madam, I wouldn't have come here in the middle of the night."

"Hanyuan..."

Seeing Ning Zhongze was greatly moved upon hearing this.

In her view,

this was Gu Hanyuan abandoning his principles to choose her.

That intention was moving.

Seeing Ning Zhongze felt the burning temperature behind her,

and with a beautiful face flushed to her ears,

she took the initiative to fulfill the obligation she had when heading to Luoyang,

repaying Gu Hanyuan's intention.

After a long time,

Seeing Ning Zhongze breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she saw Gu Hanyuan leaning over.

Looking at the fire in his eyes,

how could she not know what he wanted to do?

Even though her heart had already wavered,

her inner persistence still made her unable to accept it.

Flustered, she said:

"Hanyuan, you cannot."

Gu Hanyuan leaned into Seeing Ning Zhongze's ear and said softly:

"Just this is no longer enough to satisfy me."

Seeing Ning Zhongze pushed Gu Hanyuan slightly,

hesitating:

"But..."

Gu Hanyuan knew her concerns,

but Gu Hanyuan, who already held the ultimate move, had no need to hesitate.

One sentence shattered Seeing Ning Zhongze's persistence:

"Madam, you wouldn't want people in the Jianghu to know that Sect Master Yue is cultivating the 'Evil-Warding Sword Art,' would you?"

This reminded Seeing Ning Zhongze.

Even if Yue Buqun was no longer in her heart,

she still had the Huashan Sect,

she still had Yue Lingshan,

and she still had so many disciples she viewed as her own children.

Two lines of clear tears flowed down;

that was her final persistence and loyalty.

The next day,

Seeing Ning Zhongze was awakened by the noise outside the door.

Opening her hazy eyes,

it took a long time for her to recover.

Tremblingly, she put on her clothes,

cursing Gu Hanyuan as a "bastard" in her heart,

and thinking worriedly:

"I wonder how Shan'er is holding up."

However, at the thought of Yue Lingshan,

her originally rosy, beautiful face turned iron-blue and pale at times,

and at other times, shy and charming.

Seeing Ning Zhongze listened to the movement outside for a while,

and learned that Gu Hanyuan had visited from the main entrance early in the morning

and was currently receiving Yue Buqun's hospitality in the Zhengqi Chongxiao Hall.

Seeing Ning Zhongze muttered softly:

"He's quite good at pretending."

At this time, Gu Hanyuan and Yue Buqun were hypocritically complimenting each other.

For a moment, it felt like a match between equals.

However, Yue Buqun was slightly inferior.

Gu Hanyuan thought to himself:

"I just used your wife, so saying a few nice words is only right."

Therefore, Yue Buqun could only admit defeat,

and asked directly:

"Does Young Master Gu have any important business coming to Huashan?"

Gu Hanyuan pondered:

"There are indeed a few important matters."

Yue Buqun asked curiously:

"I would like to hear the details."

Gu Hanyuan said solemnly:

"The first is Wutian. As a witness, I believe Sect Master Yue must still have an impression, right?"

Yue Buqun mocked himself:

"I am not afraid of Young Master Gu laughing at me. The prestige of Wutian that day still makes me panic day and night."

This was naturally an exaggeration,

but the pressure was indeed much greater.

Although he had been tricked into doubting life by the "Evil-Warding Sword Manual" with a small line of text added by Gu Hanyuan before.
