Chapter 702

Long Long Xiaoyun suddenly felt a warm glow in her heart.

Her eyes, filled with admiration and attachment, immediately turned toward Gu Gu Hanyuan, who was stroking her hair beside her.

Long Long Xiaoyun’s expression was gloomy.

He had no idea when Long Long Xiaoyun had taken on a master.

This development, which fell outside his plans, made him extremely annoyed.

He still possessed a certain degree of shrewdness; seeing that Gu Gu Hanyuan had an extraordinary bearing, he did not act as the first to stick his neck out.

However, even if he didn't want to be the one to step forward, there were plenty of others willing to do so.

Just then, the "Impartial and Selfless" Zhao Zhao Zhengyi shouted angrily:

"And who are you? How dare you spout such wild words!"

Yet, when he saw the icy gaze directed at him, he felt a chill run through his entire body.

Zhang Zhang Xiaoyi, having been injured by Gu Gu Hanyuan, had already lost his nerve the moment he learned his identity.

Seeing Zhao Zhao Zhengyi on the verge of courting death, he hurriedly tried to stop him:

"Master Zhao, do not be rude! It is our honor that the 'Three Absolutes Sword Immortal' Young Master Gu has graced Wu Xingyun Manor with his presence."

It was like a thunderclap on a clear day.

The crowd exclaimed in shock one after another.

"'Three Absolutes Sword Immortal'?"

"Young... Young Master Gu!"

Zhao Zhao Zhengyi lost his nerve much faster than anyone could have imagined.

With cold sweat covering his head, he prostrated himself on the ground and said fearfully:

"This old man is shallow and blind; I hope Young Master Gu will be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against a lowly person like me."

At this moment, he no longer cared about the dignity of a Wu Lin hero.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s status in the Wu Lin today was like a towering pillar, and many even considered him the only young expert with the potential to contend against Brother Wutian.

Although Gu Gu Hanyuan had always upheld the order of the righteous path in the Wu Lin, his actions were always forceful and overbearing.

It would not be excessive even if he killed him on the spot.

Furthermore, the disparity in status between the two was too great; even if Zhao Zhao Zhengyi died, no one would care.

After all, showing disrespect to a powerhouse was a path to self-destruction.

Gu Gu Hanyuan said coldly:

"Since you are blind, gouge out your own eyes, and I will not hold it against you."

Upon hearing this, the crowd felt a cold wind enter their bodies, causing them to shiver.

Zhao Zhao Zhengyi’s expression was miserable as he tried to beg the crowd for help.

However, those who made eye contact with him quickly turned their heads away, not daring to look at him.

Even Long Long Xiaoyun was no exception.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhao Zhengyi let out a miserable laugh and, under the pressure of Gu Gu Hanyuan’s icy gaze, was forced to gouge out his own eyes.

After all, being blind was much better than losing one's life.

With blood streaming from his eyes, Zhao Zhao Zhengyi bowed miserably:

"Thank you, Young Master Gu, for your mercy."

Gu Gu Hanyuan ignored him and said indifferently:

"Is there anyone else who wants to make my disciple pay respects?"

The crowd, dripping with cold sweat, said respectfully:

"We dare not."

Gu Gu Hanyuan picked up the still-dazed Long Long Xiaoyun, walked to Long Long Xiaoyun’s side, and cast a glance at him.

Long Long Xiaoyun was so frightened that he immediately vacated his seat.

Gu Gu Hanyuan placed Long Long Xiaoyun on his lap and sat in the main seat.

His calm voice echoed throughout the hall.

"From now on, Long Xiaoyun is my disciple and the only Young Lady of Wu Xingyun Manor. Does anyone object?"

"We dare not."

How could the crowd dare to object? At most, they cast glances at Long Long Xiaoyun with inexplicable meanings.

It was easy to see from Gu Gu Hanyuan’s attitude that he did not hold Long Long Xiaoyun in high regard.

Taking Long Long Xiaoyun as a disciple had nothing to do with Long Long Xiaoyun.

To be a father reduced to this state was shameful enough.

After a moment of looking unsightly, Long Long Xiaoyun regained his composure, the thought of knowing when to yield taking the upper hand.

Moreover, his eyes were flickering slightly, clearly plotting something.

Gu Gu Hanyuan gently stroked the hair on top of Long Long Xiaoyun’s head and said softly:

"Once you have become my disciple, you are different from the past. No one can force my disciple, and no one can make my disciple unable to be themselves."

Long Long Xiaoyun came back to her senses, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

Her eyes were filled with attachment and worship.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s might made her realize how ridiculous her past devious schemes were.

And how small Long Long Xiaoyun, whom she had once viewed as a mountain, truly was.

Even if he pretended well, his status in the Wu Lin was not worth a single word from Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Long Long Xiaoyun suddenly felt a loss of interest in inheriting Wu Xingyun Manor.

Was this small patch of land, easily obtained, really worth her concern?

How ridiculous was it to have been determined to dress as a man for a lifetime for such a small wish?

All these changes were brought to her by the man before her.

That little girl's heart could not help but stir.

Gu Gu Hanyuan said indifferently to Li Li Xunhuan, who was watching the show:

"Since you have come, Li Li Tanhua, why not catch up with your good sworn brother?"

Hearing Gu Gu Hanyuan’s words, which contained a hint of mockery, Li Li Xunhuan could not help but smile bitterly.

With a complex look, he said to Long Long Xiaoyun:

"Big Brother, I have returned."

Only then did the crowd notice Li Li Xunhuan following behind.

The once-famous "Little Li Flying Dagger" had no presence at all in front of Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Long Long Xiaoyun hid the gloom that flashed in his eyes well, and with a look of joy, he hugged Li Li Xunhuan’s shoulders and said:

"That’s great! Where have you been all these years, Li Xunhuan? Lin Shiyin and I have missed you so much..."

Hearing that familiar name from Long Long Xiaoyun’s mouth, Li Li Xunhuan’s expression became even more bitter.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s sudden action of picking up Long Long Xiaoyun drew everyone’s attention once more.

Gu Gu Hanyuan said with a hint of playfulness:

"I am not interested in the drama of your brotherly affection."

Having said that, he ignored the crowd and left leisurely, carrying the half-grown girl, Long Long Xiaoyun.

It was no wonder Gu Gu Hanyuan ignored them.

It was because these people were indeed just minor characters.

Their reputations were loud, but their strength was poor.

They were nothing more than hypocritical trash who flattered each other.

There were hardly any who had reached the Innate realm; how could they be worth Gu Gu Hanyuan’s attention?

Long Long Xiaoyun leaned comfortably on Gu Gu Hanyuan’s shoulder and smiled coquettishly:

"Master, I will take you to see my mother. You will definitely like her."

Hearing this, Gu Gu Hanyuan’s expression turned strange for a moment.

Long Long Xiaoyun didn't mean anything else; she just felt that Gu Gu Hanyuan’s attitude toward Long Long Xiaoyun was cold, so she wanted to find Lin Lin Shiyin to ease the relationship.

Although she also felt resentment toward Long Long Xiaoyun, he was, after all, her biological father.

It was difficult for her that her father and the master she admired had such a bad relationship.

It was just that what Long Long Xiaoyun said inevitably sounded a bit strange.

Especially for Gu Gu Hanyuan, who had designs on Lin Lin Shiyin.
