Chapter 722

Lv Shisheng's eyes lit up.

He said with great triumph:

"Lieutenant Liu, you've arrived just in time."

Seeing Lv Shisheng signal him with his eyes,

Lieutenant Liu understood and scolded Gu Hanyuan:

"Audacious commoner, how dare you collide with Young Master Lv! Take him down for me!"

The city guards behind him charged toward Gu Hanyuan one after another.

Huang Rong watched this scene with great interest.

She had been dissatisfied with the Lv father and son for a long time.

With Gu Hanyuan present,

it was the perfect opportunity to teach Lv Shisheng a lesson.

Lv Shidao was also feeling skeptical about Gu Hanyuan's reputation.

He had heard many rumors in Lin'an...

Han Tuozhou had been making constant moves recently

to win over Gu Hanyuan.

Jia Sidao and Han Tuozhou were political rivals,

and Lv Wende was a subordinate of Jia Sidao.

Therefore, Lv Shidao also wanted to take this opportunity to test Gu Hanyuan.

Only Cheng Miaojing watched the conflict in the field with slight worry.

Gu Hanyuan watched the charging city guards with indifference.

A white shadow flickered.

Everyone only heard a mocking remark:

"Ignorant."

When they looked clearly again,

Gu Hanyuan was already holding Lv Shisheng and Lieutenant Liu in his hands.

Lv Shidao and Cheng Miaojing exclaimed in shock:

"Cousin!"

"Shisheng!"

Lv Shisheng looked at Gu Hanyuan before him in terror.

He had previously had no concept of what a so-called martial arts expert was.

Only now did he understand why, although Lv Wenhuan looked down on Guo Jing,

he had always relied on him.

Lv Shidao retreated a few steps in fear.

He had also previously had designs on Guo Fu,

and he worried that Gu Hanyuan might suddenly strike at him.

Seeing Lv Shisheng fall into Gu Hanyuan's hands,

Cheng Miaojing stepped forward urgently to plead:

"Young Master Gu, Shisheng spoke without thinking. I apologize to you on his behalf. Please let him go."

Gu Hanyuan looked at Cheng Miaojing's beautiful appearance,

and smiled warmly with deep meaning:

"Since the Lady is pleading, I will give the Lady this face."

Having said that, he released Lv Shisheng and Lieutenant Liu.

Cheng Miaojing was stunned for a moment.

She intuitively felt that Gu Hanyuan's gaze and words carried a deeper meaning,

but she couldn't quite grasp it for the moment.

However, after seeing Gu Hanyuan's gentle smile,

she secretly praised:

"To think a man could smile so beautifully."

When Cheng Miaojing first saw Gu Hanyuan,

she had quite admired his outstanding and handsome appearance.

Seeing him be so easy to talk to now,

she felt even more favorably toward him.

Cheng Miaojing bowed gracefully:

"Many thanks to Young Master Gu for your magnanimity."

Gu Hanyuan reached out to support her in the air:

"You are too polite, Lady."

With that, he turned and left with the triumphant Guo Fu.

Huang Rong looked Cheng Miaojing up and down with amusement.

After saying a few simple words, she took her leave and followed the two.

Cheng Miaojing watched Gu Hanyuan's departing back in a daze,

recalling Gu Hanyuan's meaningful gaze from before.

Her soft, beautiful face felt faintly hot.

Gu Hanyuan's soft words from just a moment ago echoed in her ears:

"Lady, do remember that you owe me an apology."
