Chapter 563

She feigned indifference and said:

"Why have you only returned at this hour?"

Gu Hanyuan sat down opposite Huang Rong with a light laugh.

With a wave of his hand,

another pot of "Treading Snow Seeking Plum" and two wine cups appeared on the table.

"Let's drink and chat."

Huang Rong's clear, crystalline eyes revealed curiosity as she asked:

"I wanted to ask you last time: how do you manage to conjure objects out of thin air?"

A subtle smile hung on the corner of Gu Hanyuan's mouth as he said:

"A secret."

Sure enough, this earned him a charming roll of Huang Rong's eyes.

She chided coquettishly:

"Stop being mysterious!"

Gu Hanyuan teased:

"Secrets make a man more charming."

Huang Rong spat and said:

"Pah, forget it if you don't want to say."

She had no intention of pestering him.

She took the wine cup Gu Hanyuan handed her,

took a light sip,

and turned to ask:

"What news did you gather earlier?"

Gu Hanyuan said solemnly:

"The Mongol Yuan is indeed making a big move. Two Grandmasters have arrived, along with several Masters. Those bandits on the periphery are basically all under their control."

Huang Rong muttered to herself:

"The situation is not looking good."

Huang Rong's moth-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The sight of the beauty in distress was heart-wrenching.

Gu Hanyuan sighed and said:

"Hua Tiegan has defected. The 'Four Wonders of the South' was simply a trap."

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong suddenly realized:

"So that's how it is. No wonder I always felt there was something suspicious."

Gu Hanyuan hesitated and said:

"The Snow Mountain Sect likely has some problems too; my Lady should still be careful."

Huang Rong's expression froze.

She asked subconsciously:

"Is there any evidence?"

Gu Hanyuan replied with only two words, indifferently:

"Intuition."

Huang Rong said indignantly:

"You aren't a woman, where would you get intuition from?"

Gu Hanyuan explained with a light laugh:

"When one's cultivation reaches my level, one naturally has some perceptions. What is called a 'sudden flash of insight' is just that."

Huang Rong nodded, accepting Gu Hanyuan's explanation,

and continued to ask:

"I see. Anything else?"

Gu Hanyuan said nonchalantly:

"I rescued Lu Tianshu and Liu Chengfeng."

"You snuck in to save them?"

Huang Rong assumed this subconsciously.

After all, the Mongol Yuan lineup Gu Hanyuan had described earlier was not weak at all.

However, Gu Hanyuan smiled confidently:

"I killed my way in."

Huang Rong asked with subconscious concern:

"You weren't injured, were you?"

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"It's nothing."

He then teased:

"Is my Lady worried about me?"

Seeing Gu Hanyuan flirting with her again,

Huang Rong only felt that his handsome face was exceptionally detestable at this moment.

She pretended not to care and said:

"We are friends, at the very least; is it strange to be worried?"

Gu Hanyuan did not make things difficult for her.

He said with a light laugh:

"My Lady is right."

Seeing this, Huang Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

She dared not linger on the previous topic,

and turned to ask:

"But didn't they try to kill the two heroes, Lu and Liu, in a desperate struggle?"

Gu Hanyuan explained:

"I captured the leader of the Mongol Yuan directly and forced her to release them."

Huang Rong froze.

She asked suspiciously:

"You didn't capture her and bring her back?"

Gu Hanyuan said casually:

"One must keep one's word, after all."

However, Huang Rong's intuition told her it absolutely wouldn't be that simple.

With a look of suspicion on her bright face, she asked:

"That leader wouldn't happen to be a woman, would she?"

Gu Hanyuan was truly a bit surprised.

He had no intention of hiding it either.

He asked:

"How did my Lady know?"

Huang Rong asked calmly:

"And she's a beautiful woman, isn't she?"

Gu Hanyuan pondered for a moment.

He made a thorough comparison in his heart.

Huang Rong in her peak period was certainly a cut above Zhao Min.

The passage of time was secondary now. ===== CHAPTER 565 =====
