Chapter 744: The White Moonlight Dyed Black

The intimacy between Ding Dang and Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Had already struck Shi Potian a heavy blow.

Yet another woman who was special to him, Bai Bai Axiu.

Had also fallen into Gu Gu Hanyuan's embrace.

Shi Potian vaguely remembered.

Everyone had taken him for Shi Zhongyu.

Only Bai Bai Axiu believed in him.

That gentle appearance was still impossible to forget.

Previously, with the clever and lively Ding Dang by his side, keeping things lively.

That bewitching-devil posture, even though it had brought Shi Potian a great deal of trouble.

But just as a green youth would always fall first for those more bewitchingly charming maidens.

Shi Potian's eyes had always held only Ding Dang's figure.

When Ding Dang fell into Gu Gu Hanyuan's embrace.

There was only a sense of shattered illusion.

Bai Bai Axiu's image became in his eyes a beam of white moonlight.

Yet this beam of white moonlight, before long, was dyed black by Gu Gu Hanyuan again.

Looking at Bai Bai Axiu's gentle, obedient appearance.

Shi Potian's vision actually darkened faintly before him.

Gu Gu Hanyuan was very satisfied with Shi Potian's reaction at this moment.

Even the most simple, honest person will have a weak spot.

So long as one is human, one will have desires.

And will have things one cares about.

It's just that Shi Potian had always been a lucky fool.

Which is why everything had gone so smoothly all along.

But his good luck.

The moment he met Gu Gu Hanyuan, came to an end.

Gu Gu Hanyuan did not immediately turn his attention to Shi Potian.

Instead, he acted naturally and let his gaze sweep past him.

He turned to Hua Wanzi, whose eyes shimmered with feeling, and said with a warm smile:

"Miss Hua has grown ever more dashing and heroic."

Hua Wanzi had already confirmed her own heart back in Jiangling City.

But because of the four martial uncles' betrayal.

She had had to return to the Xueshan Sect ahead of time.

Unable to wait for Gu Gu Hanyuan's return at the villa in Xiangyang City.

That was her regret.

And also the reason she felt such deep longing.

Hua Wanzi's jade-like cheeks flushed a faint rose.

She said shyly:

"Young Master Gu, don't tease me."

Gu Gu Hanyuan shook his head and said with a light laugh:

"This isn't teasing."

He saw the longing in Hua Wanzi's expression.

Yet she held back, not daring to step forward.

He did not take it to heart.

He looked toward Shi Qing and Min Rou, husband and wife.

He bowed and said:

"Greetings, Shi-shishu."

His eyes carried a certain depth of meaning.

He exchanged a brief glance with Min Rou.

He deliberately let his tone shift for an instant.

"And Min-shishu as well."

Min Rou's heart gave a sudden leap.

She forced herself to steady her composure.

And unconsciously lowered her gaze.

Ding Dang was quite skilled at reading faces and moods.

Instinctively, she felt something was off about Min Rou.

A strange light flickered in her eyes.

Shi Qing did not notice the covert exchange of glances between Gu Gu Hanyuan and his own wife.

He was more concerned with how Gu Gu Hanyuan would treat Shi Potian.

He stepped forward to take the blame first, saying:

"Nephew, we never managed to escort Yu'er back to Wu Dangpai. We've failed the heavy trust you placed in us."

Gu Gu Hanyuan saw right through his thoughts.

He spoke in a deliberately comforting tone:

"Uncle Shi, there's no need to blame yourself."

Yet when he looked at Shi Potian,

his expression turned cold and indifferent.

"Shi Zhongyu, you slipped away that day. I didn't expect you'd still dare to show yourself openly before Gu Mou."

Shi Potian was still dazed by the unfamiliar surge of jealousy rising in his heart.

Then he saw the culprit Gu Gu Hanyuan also turn the barrel toward him.

He forcibly suppressed his tangled feelings.

His tone inexplicably asked:

"Who are you?"

Shi Potian was extremely curious about Gu Gu Hanyuan's identity.

For no other reason.

He wanted to know what kind of person

could make Ding Dang and Bai Bai Axiu fall for him at the same time.

Yet Gu Gu Hanyuan did not satisfy his wish.

A mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He jeered:

"Heh, pretending not to recognize me?"

Zhang San, standing nearby, sensed something was off.

He summoned his courage and said:

"Young Master Gu, actually he's not Shi Zhongyu."

Zhang San had always been a cautious sort by nature.
