Chapter 536: Huang Rong: What if I have a guilty conscience?

~3 min read 554 words

Huang Rong asked in surprise:

"'Treading Snow Seeking Plum'? Didn't you say you were out?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled warmly:

"If you want to drink it, Madam, naturally it can be available at any time."

Saying this, he took out two more wine cups.

And filled them up.

He reached out to signal Huang Rong to taste it.

Huang Rong scolded coquettishly:

"You're coaxing me with sweet words again."

But she did not refuse Gu Hanyuan's invitation.

She parted her red lips slightly and took a sip.

Feeling that sense of transparency that seemed to wash over her whole body once again.

Huang Rong sighed with satisfaction.

Ever since she had drunk "Treading Snow Seeking Plum".

She had often missed it.

Huang Rong was savoring the taste of "Treading Snow Seeking Plum".

Gu Hanyuan, however, said seriously at this time:

"I am serious."

Huang Rong's eyes flickered upon hearing this.

After returning to Xiangyang.

Her guilt towards Guo Jing grew day by day.

She often warned herself to forget the ambiguity between her and Gu Hanyuan.

Yet the "Unity Pendant" and that jade flute always reminded her of that brief time spent together.

She wanted to discard them but couldn't bear to.

She wanted to forget but couldn't let go.

When they met again.

Joy outweighed resistance.

Huang Rong hesitated for a moment.

Her bright eyes were full of sorrow.

She sighed:

"Hanyuan, Fu'er has fallen deeply in love with you, and she is young and beautiful, why must you always be obsessed with me?"

Gu Hanyuan only smiled lightly upon hearing this:

"Although Fu'er has inherited part of your beauty, Madam, she is still too green, far from being your equal."

Seeing Gu Hanyuan speak so firmly, Huang Rong.

Could only say helplessly:

"But in a few years, I will also be old and faded. Fu'er is the partner most suitable for you."

However, Gu Hanyuan did not confirm.

Nor did he deny it.

Playing with the wine cup in his hand.

He changed the subject.

And smiled softly:

"Madam, you still remember that I once said I would restore your youth for you, right?"

Huang Rong was startled.

A rosy hue gradually rose on her face.

Because she not only recalled what Gu Hanyuan had said.

She also remembered that Gu Hanyuan had once kissed her forehead with pity.

Using drinking to cover up her guilty conscience.

She averted her gaze and asked:

"I remember, is it to drink 'Warm Jade Spring Cotton'?"

Gu Hanyuan, however, shook his head and denied:

"That only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

"Then what do you mean?"

Huang Rong did not understand.

Gu Hanyuan did not speak directly.

He asked rhetorically:

"Madam, aren't you curious why my cultivation progressed so quickly?"

Sure enough, curiosity flickered in Huang Rong's pair of wonderful eyes.

"I am indeed very curious, was there some opportunity?"

The time the two had been separated was not long.

Before that.

Huang Rong could barely see a rough idea of the cultivation strength Gu Hanyuan displayed.

But after less than two short months.

When she heard news of Gu Hanyuan again.

He had suppressed all the heroes.

Several Grandmasters joining forces were beaten until they couldn't lift their heads.

And even an Earth Immortal had been injured by him. ===== CHAPTER 538 =====
