Chapter 528

She no longer hid it,

and called out shyly:

"Brother Gu."

Gu Hanyuan looked at the happy Yue Lingshan gently,

and said softly:

"Shan'er, I've come to see you."

His eyes, however, quietly met Ning Zhongze's for a moment,

causing her to turn away with a guilty conscience.

Because Yue Buqun was cultivating the "Evil-Warding Sword Art,"

he had not been willing to face Ning Zhongze recently.

Seeing that both Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan had come,

he said loudly:

"Young Master Gu, Shan'er, take him to tour the scenery of Huashan well these few days."

He also said to Ning Zhongze:

"Junior Sister, you entertain Young Master Gu well these few days. I have had a new breakthrough in cultivating the 'Purple Mist Secret Manual' and need to go into seclusion for a period of time."

Because of his guilty conscience,

Yue Buqun failed to notice the abnormality on Ning Zhongze's face.

Ning Zhongze already knew the truth,

so how could she not guess that Yue Buqun wanted to send her away

to find an opportunity to secretly cultivate the "Evil-Warding Sword Manual"?

She sighed secretly and agreed.

In the following days,

Gu Hanyuan was accompanied by Yue Lingshan during the day to tour the mountains and play.

In the first half of the night, he would go to find Ning Zhongze first.

As the saying goes, once there is a first time,

there will be countless times.

Ning Zhongze also went from resisting to cooperating,

and occasionally even had some initiative.

In the second half of the night, Gu Hanyuan would find Yue Lingshan.

Although she was dissatisfied that Gu Hanyuan always waited until she was asleep before coming,

but since her lover wanted to be close,

how could she resist?

However, she soon developed doubts,

because Yue Lingshan smelled Ning Zhongze's scent on Gu Hanyuan.

Women are particularly sensitive in this regard.

Gu Hanyuan deliberately did not bathe before coming over,

so the lingering scent was naturally very obvious.

Once or twice,

Yue Lingshan might have treated it as something accidentally rubbed off.

But she could smell it every night.

Gu Hanyuan always came over in the second half of the night,

so how could it not arouse suspicion?

After holding it in for two days,

and being awakened again,

Yue Lingshan still could not hold back her question.

Panting slightly, she asked with complex eyes:

"Brother Gu, did something happen between you and Mother?"

Gu Hanyuan asked with a calm expression:

"Why does Shan'er ask that?"

Yue Lingshan's expression was lonely,

and her tone was faint:

"You have Mother's scent all over you. Mother has looked so much younger and more beautiful recently. I'm not a child anymore; how could I not see it?"

Gu Hanyuan admitted it directly:

"The truth is just as you guessed, Shan'er."

Yue Lingshan knew Ning Zhongze's personality best;

it was absolutely impossible for her to have had a relationship with Gu Hanyuan for no reason.

She asked sadly:

"Why? Did you force Mother, Brother Gu?"

Gu Hanyuan laughed upon hearing this:

"Force? How is that possible? Haven't you noticed that your mother's smiles have increased recently?"

Yue Lingshan recalled carefully;

it was indeed just as Gu Hanyuan had said.

She could clearly see that since Gu Hanyuan came,

Ning Zhongze's entire atmosphere had become much softer.

The more she thought about it, the less she understood, so Yue Lingshan asked suspiciously:

"This... it is indeed so. But why?"

Gu Hanyuan told Yue Lingshan about Yue Buqun cultivating the "Evil-Warding Sword Art."

Yue Lingshan said angrily:

"How could Father do this!"

Because of the hypocritical teachings of Ning Zhongze and Yue Buqun,

Yue Lingshan also harbored justice.

The father she had always admired was actually a hypocrite;

such a thing was a huge blow to her.

Gu Hanyuan looked at Yue Lingshan's expected reaction,

and sighed helplessly:

"You know your mother's personality. She is upright and unyielding. I was worried that she would think of something desperate because of Sect Master Yue's ambition in the future. So I gave her some insurance. At least, so she wouldn't fall into despair and leave you alone."

Yue Lingshan was moved:

"Brother Gu, thank you for considering me."

Gu Hanyuan looked at Yue Lingshan, who had been fooled,

and suggested with a smile:

"Let's go."

Yue Lingshan asked, confused:

"Where to?"

Gu Hanyuan picked up Yue Lingshan with a smile.

"To see your mother. Brother Gu doesn't want to be blamed by you in the future."

"Eh?"

Yue Lingshan exclaimed.

At this time, Ning Zhongze had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Suddenly feeling the familiar aura and temperature behind her,

she did not open her eyes.
