Chapter 698

A flash of surprise crossed Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

He was clearly interested in this type of combined attack technique.

However, in the face of absolute strength.

Such flashy things were of no use at all.

He threw a punch.

Cold air permeated the area.

The "Frost and Snow Ice Mountain" of the "Heavenly Frost Fist" met the two.

The two felt an irresistible, immense force collide with them.

The force on their palms could not even hold for a moment before being shattered.

They were sent flying backward one after another.

Frost covered their bodies.

Their sleeves were even coated in thick ice.

Qian Er practiced cold ice internal energy.

Although he was shivering from the cold.

He was in relatively better condition.

Zhao Da, however, was miserable.

He practiced fiery internal energy.

Encountering the "Heavenly Frost Fist," which chilled the body to the bone.

Under the collision of cold and heat.

He wailed in agony.

That miserable appearance.

Made it seem as if he were about to die at any moment.

Seeing this, Guo Fu couldn't help but show a look of pity.

Gu Hanyuan stepped forward and placed his hand on Zhao Da's shoulder.

The frost on Zhao Da's body quickly dissipated.

He took a few deep, lingering breaths.

Looking up at the indifferent Gu Hanyuan.

He hurriedly thanked him with awe:

"Many thanks to Young Master Gu for saving my life."

Gu Hanyuan nodded lightly upon seeing this.

He did the same for Qian Er.

And neutralized the cold air of the "Heavenly Frost Fist" for him as well.

As for the internal injuries they had sustained, he couldn't be bothered to care.

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Zhao Da said with awe:

"Young Master Gu's divine arts are peerless; this lowly one is convinced."

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"Where is the copper plate that belongs to me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Da respectfully handed over the copper plate.

"Please keep this safe, Young Master Gu. The day of the gathering is only a few days away. Everyone on Knight Island will surely sweep the floor to welcome your arrival."

Gu Hanyuan turned his head to look at Guo Fu.

Under her confused gaze, he said:

"Give me Guo Daxia's copper plate as well."

"This..."

Zhao Da hesitated upon hearing this.

"What? Is it not allowed?"

Gu Hanyuan glanced at him coldly.

Zhao Da instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

He respectfully handed Guo Jing's copper plate to Gu Hanyuan.

"If Young Master Gu is willing to accept the copper plate on behalf of Guo Daxia, how could this lowly one dare to object?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled indifferently.

"You are sensible."

Seeing this, Guo Fu was deeply moved.

She assumed Gu Hanyuan had taken Guo Jing's copper plate from Zhao Da solely for her sake.

For a moment, her eyes shimmered with affection.

A moving, shy blush rose on her beautiful face.

Huang Rong gave Gu Hanyuan a subtle, sideways glance.

She knew the inside story better.

Gu Hanyuan would not let Guo Jing, a reliable combat force, leave Xiangyang City.

As for that look he specifically gave Guo Fu.

It was clearly meant to flirt with the young girl's heart.

Watching her own man flirt with her own daughter right in front of her.

A sense of immense strangeness filled her heart.

Gu Hanyuan ignored Huang Rong's wild thoughts.

He glanced at Zhao Da, who was still standing there in a daze.

Zhao Da instantly understood.

"Guo Daxia, we brothers have disturbed you today; please forgive us."

He then bowed respectfully to Gu Hanyuan.

"Young Master Gu, this lowly one takes his leave."

Seeing Gu Hanyuan nod.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He signaled the taciturn Qian Er to leave the Guo residence.

After the two outsiders left.

Guo Fu could no longer restrain herself.

She giggled and hugged Gu Hanyuan's arm.

Her eyes sparkled with affection.

She unconsciously rubbed against him with her small pouch.

Blushing, she said:

"Brother Gu, thank you for helping my father out of this predicament."

Guo Jing's face darkened slightly as he watched Guo Fu's lack of maidenly reserve.

But Gu Hanyuan had just taken his Reward and Punishment Order from Zhao Da.

He owed him a favor.

And back at the South Shaolin, he had shown mercy to him.

Having owed Gu Hanyuan two favors in a row.

Even if he wanted to express his dissatisfaction, he lacked the confidence.

Furthermore, the romantic relationship between Guo Fu and Gu Hanyuan was already widely rumored in the Jianghu.

He had no choice but to pretend not to see it.

Guo Jing adjusted his mood.

He laughed loudly:

"Many thanks to Young Master Gu for your help just now. You must give me a chance to properly host you."
