Chapter 716

Everyone saw a white shadow flash by.

Gu Gu Hanyuan had already blocked Qiu Du before he could succeed.

Old Man Tianji’s eyes flickered as he put away the pipe in his hand.

Sun Xiaohong looked blankly at the back that seemed incredibly tall, her heart pounding.

And Qiu Du seemed to have just come to his senses, staggering back two steps.

He stammered and defended himself:

"Young... Young Master Gu, I don't know why..."

Gu Gu Hanyuan interrupted in a deep voice:

"Gu Mou knows that there are many evil people among you. Since you came for the Plum Blossom Thief today, Gu Mou can't be bothered to argue with you. But that doesn't mean I will let you act recklessly under my nose!"

Yi Ku said anxiously:

"Young Master Gu, please show mercy; I will definitely discipline this wicked disciple well when I return!"

"Too late."

As the words fell, a strand of sword qi shot into the center of Qiu Du’s brow, killing him instantly.

Yi Ku saw his son die tragically with his own eyes, his pale blue pupils wide open.

He couldn't help but raise the "Green Demon Hand" and said angrily:

"You!"

Gu Gu Hanyuan glanced at him coldly and said:

"What? Do you want to go down and accompany him?"

Yi Ku broke out in cold sweat.

After calming down, he no longer had the courage.

After all, a son can be born again if he dies, but if he dies himself, there is nothing left.

He said bitterly:

"I dare not."

Saying that, he even bowed respectfully to Gu Gu Hanyuan.

However, this did not change his fate.

Gu Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"It’s a pity that Gu Mou doesn't like to leave future troubles; a family should still be neat and tidy."

As the words fell, he waved his hand, and several sharp sword qi shot toward Yi Ku.

Yi Ku widened his eyes and shouted for mercy:

"Young Master Gu, spare my life!"

However, his plea for mercy had no effect.

The "Green Demon Hand" turned into fragments under the attack of the sword qi, and several bloody holes appeared on his body, and he fell to the ground dead.

With Gu Gu Hanyuan’s current strength, a grandmaster of this level could be killed in seconds.

However, it once again shocked everyone who hadn't left yet.

A grandmaster, ninth in the "Weapon Manual," the "Green Demon Hand" Yi Ku, who had just forced Li Li Xunhuan to be incredibly disheveled without using flying daggers, died just like that, dying without a ripple.

Dying exactly the same way as You You Longsheng and Qiu Du.

Just because he offended Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Everyone felt Gu Gu Hanyuan’s terrifying prestige again and became trembling.

Of course, there were also people whose emotions were completely different from the crowd.

Sun Xiaohong’s heart was pounding, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

She suddenly understood why heroes saving beauties were the most popular in so many stories throughout the ages.

Not only do men like it, but women like it even more.

She felt the mood of the heroine in those stories at this moment.

A strong sense of security from being protected.

The situation just now wasn't really a crisis, after all, her grandfather, Old Man Tianji, was behind her.

But that didn't stop her from feeling moved by it.

Sun Xiaohong, who always used simple attire to make herself inconspicuous, had never encountered such a situation.

In the past, even if she occasionally got into some trouble, she didn't even need Old Man Tianji to act; she could resolve it with her own wit.

So being protected was really the first time.

The disappointment and loss in her heart caused by Gu Gu Hanyuan and Lin Lin Shiyin hooking up instantly dissipated.

She even began to find excuses for Gu Gu Hanyuan herself.

She believed that Lin Lin Shiyin was bewitched by his charm and seduced him actively.

In the story of Li Li Xunhuan, Long Long Xiaoyun, and Lin Lin Shiyin.

Li Li Xunhuan and Long Long Xiaoyun naturally had their reputations damaged, but Lin Lin Shiyin didn't fare any better.

After all, no matter what the facts were, Lin Lin Shiyin first got engaged to Li Li Xunhuan, but then married Long Long Xiaoyun.

Even with the factor of Li Li Xunhuan yielding, it was hard not to make people feel she was fickle.

Usually, Sun Xiaohong would defend Lin Lin Shiyin in her heart for the sake of her idol Li Li Xunhuan.

However, at this moment, she completely threw the blame onto Lin Lin Shiyin.

Invisibly, it also lowered Li Li Xunhuan’s status and image in Sun Xiaohong’s mind.

After all, Li Li Xunhuan, who was so bewitched by a fickle woman like Lin Lin Shiyin, had no image of a hero at all.

Although Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't know exactly what Sun Xiaohong had imagined,

he knew his operation was successful by looking at her shining eyes.

It was not in vain that he used the "Soul-Moving Technique" on Qiu Du.

Someone with too large a gap in strength and a wavering mind could never block his control of the "Soul-Moving Technique."

Gu Gu Hanyuan said indifferently and domineeringly:

"I suppose you all know a thing or two about my temperament. Let alone catching the Plum Blossom Thief, but if Gu Mou learns that anyone is bullying the good and doing evil, don't blame Gu Mou for cleaning up the pests."

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing this, and those evil experts were even more terrified.

However, there was a flaw hidden in Gu Gu Hanyuan’s seemingly righteous words: "catching the Plum Blossom Thief."

That is to say, he wouldn't care about conflicts that arose for the sake of "catching the Plum Blossom Thief."

Those who were more sensitive, like Bai Bai Xiaosheng, were already rolling their eyes and plotting.

Therefore, under the calm surface forced by Gu Gu Hanyuan, even more chaotic undercurrents were brewing.

Even if no one saw this, it didn't matter; it wasn't as if they were the only ones who could stir up the situation.

"Net" could completely pretend to be the Plum Blossom Thief.

Of course, they had to maintain calm on the surface, otherwise it wouldn't be conducive to Gu Gu Hanyuan’s strategy for Lin Lin Shiyin.

Bai Bai Xiaosheng took the lead and said respectfully:

"I will strictly follow Young Master Gu’s orders."

After Gu Gu Hanyuan nodded indifferently to signal they could leave, he turned around and teased Sun Xiaohong:

"Miss Xiaohong, we meet again. Is there anything you want to find me for, this person with heaven-defying luck?"

Sun Xiaohong blushed upon hearing this and said shyly:

"Xiaohong didn't know Young Master Gu’s identity at the time, making Young Master Gu laugh at me. This trip is to apologize to Young Master Gu, and Xiaohong had no intention of belittling Young Master Gu. Also, I must thank Young Master Gu for saving me just now."

"It was just a joke, how could I take it to heart? Besides, didn't Miss Xiaohong praise me more? As for what happened just now, it was just my duty, not worth Miss Xiaohong’s thanks."

Gu Gu Hanyuan was also a famous double-standard.

Like Zhao Zhao Zhengyi and You You Longsheng, they suffered the disaster of blindness or death just for speaking inappropriately.

If Sun Xiaohong hadn't been good-looking, Gu Gu Hanyuan wouldn't have spoken to her so gently.

So, being good-looking is still very beneficial.

Listening to Gu Gu Hanyuan’s gentle words, Sun Xiaohong felt even more shy.

She was even annoyed that she had thought of Gu Gu Hanyuan as a bad person who hooked up with other men’s wives.

Finally having a chance to talk to Gu Gu Hanyuan, Sun Xiaohong asked with a smile:
