Chapter 701

Before walking into the backyard.

Gu Hanyuan let go of the two women's hands.

Huang Rong went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Guo Fu accompanied Gu Hanyuan and Guo Jing in casual conversation.

Not long after.

Huang Rong served exquisite dishes to the table.

In order not to be too far from Gu Hanyuan.

She specifically chose a smaller round table.

It was filled to the brim.

Everything was cooked by her own hands.

Guo Jing was pleasantly surprised.

Because of his busy schedule.

He hadn't tasted Huang Rong's home-cooked food in a long time.

He assumed Huang Rong had prepared it specifically for him.

He began to drink and chat with Gu Hanyuan with high spirits.

Huang Rong, worried that Gu Hanyuan wouldn't be used to ordinary wine.

Had secretly prepared and swapped his wine pot with "Treading Snow to Seek Plum Blossoms."

That gentle, wifely appearance of silently preparing everything for her lover.

Stirred Gu Hanyuan's heart.

Under the cover of the tablecloth, he lifted her skirt.

Huang Rong's body trembled slightly.

She glanced at the oblivious Guo Jing.

And forced herself to endure while listening to their conversation.

"Young Master Gu, are you really going to Knight Island?"

Gu Hanyuan turned the rim of his cup with one hand.

While gently caressing her with the other.

He smiled indifferently:

"I don't have the habit of avoiding things. Besides, the Reward and Punishment Order has thrown the Song Guo Jianghu into chaos; I cannot turn a blind eye."

Guo Jing exclaimed in admiration:

"Young Master Gu is truly righteous."

He then added solemnly:

"It is just said that every ten years, the Messengers of Reward and Punishment come to Song Guo to invite sect masters or experts to Knight Island. And those who have gone have never returned. Clearly, Knight Island is a dangerous place; you must be careful, Young Master Gu."

Guo Fu had been sitting quietly on the side, listening like a lady.

Upon hearing that going to Knight Island was dangerous.

She no longer cared about her image.

She said urgently:

"Brother Gu, since Knight Island is so dangerous, why don't you just not go?"

Gu Hanyuan drained the wine in his cup in one gulp.

He laughed heroically:

"Fu'er, don't worry. With my current strength, I can charge through even a dragon's pool or a tiger's den."

That overwhelming heroic spirit.

Made Guo Fu's heart race.

Her eyes sparkled, and her cheeks flushed.

Huang Rong, however, lowered her gaze.

Trying hard to restrain the shameful blush rising on her beautiful face.

Guo Jing couldn't help but praise:

"Young Master Gu is indeed heroic. Let us drink to that."

Gu Hanyuan showed no sign of pride upon hearing this.

He merely said modestly:

"Guo Daxia is too kind."

A look of admiration appeared on Guo Jing's honest face.

He said with an inexplicable tone:

"Back at the South Shaolin, I only felt that Young Master Gu was an arrogant and unbridled person; I didn't expect you to be so modest today."

Gu Hanyuan smiled with contempt:

"Times have changed. The South Shaolin is used to being overbearing; one has to be tough with them. As for those so-called righteous people who curry favor and fish for fame, they are nothing but clowns."

Guo Jing felt extremely awkward.

Because he was one of the people who had attacked that day.

He coughed twice and explained:

"Ahem, it is shameful to say. That day, it was difficult to disobey Uncle Qiu's orders; I was forced to attack you, Young Master Gu."

Gu Hanyuan said with feigned reverence:

"No matter. Guo Daxia guards Xiangyang with righteousness; I have always admired you. How can you be mentioned in the same breath as Zuo Lengchan and the others?"

Huang Rong and Guo Fu almost simultaneously gave Gu Hanyuan a subtle glance.

Their eyes were full of strangeness.

As if to say:

"What you say and what you do are different. You speak of admiration, but secretly you snatched his wife away."
