Chapter 745

Perhaps due to the technique she cultivated, that beautiful face was white to the point of being almost transparent.

That was a beauty truly worthy of being the number one beauty in the Ming Guo Wu Lin.

Even Lin Xian’er would feel ashamed in front of her.

Such a peerless beauty was hidden here, making one feel a sense of regret.

However, if one knew her identity, I am afraid few men would have the leisure to care about her beauty.

She was none other than the Palace Master of the Flower-Moving Palace, Yao Yue, known as having the body of an immortal and a demon.

"Yao Yue’s beauty in the deep palace" — the reputation was well-deserved.

Yao Yue exhaled and finished her cultivation, closing her eyes and speaking faintly:

"Tang Lian Xing, what is the matter?"

A nimble, lively, and beautiful voice, seemingly carrying a kind of innocent childishness, rang out.

"Sister, the 'Three Absolute Sword Immortal' Gu Gu Hanyuan has appeared in the Northwest Wu Lin of Ming Guo."

Just sitting there, Yao Yue possessed a majesty that made people dare not look directly at her.

Unexpectedly, although her tone was cold and indifferent, her voice was ethereal and pleasant.

Yet, the three words "Gu Gu Hanyuan" had a strange magic.

It caused her perfect temperament to have a sense of stagnation, as if her cultivation were breaking.

Yao Yue’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

What kind of eyes were those?

Clear and bright, as if the bright moon had pierced through the dark clouds, falling with brilliant moonlight.

But that gaze was also cold and aloof, like the high and unreachable moon.

There was a cold, ruthless indifference in her gaze that could freeze a person’s heart.

Beautiful as she was, she was visible but untouchable—and no one dared to touch her.

One would be frozen, frostbitten, or frozen to death.

Yet, the woman who woke her seemed completely unaffected.

Her smile was gentle, her face sweet, even better than spring flowers; her flexible eyes were not only full of indescribable light of wisdom but also full of childishness.

She wore a brocade palace dress like flowing clouds, her long skirt reaching the ground, her long hair draped over her shoulders, like drifting clouds.

Her peerless beauty and noble elegance were not a bit inferior to Yao Yue’s.

And compared to Yao Yue’s unapproachable coldness, she seemed to have a gentleness and kindness in her bones.

It made people subconsciously want to be close to her and protect her.

She was Yao Yue’s younger sister, the Second Palace Master of the Flower-Moving Palace, Tang Lian Xing.

However, apart from their similar eyebrows and equally beautiful faces, it was hard for people to imagine they were sisters.

Not only was their temperament worlds apart, but their figures made one wonder if Tang Lian Xing had stolen Yao Yue’s nutrition.

Yao Yue was slender and graceful, a perfect figure that perfectly matched the aesthetics of this era.

Tang Lian Xing’s waist was just as slender as Yao Yue’s.

However, the peaks on her chest were towering.

Let alone looking down at her toes, in private, she would probably unconsciously rest them on the table to relieve the pressure and shoulder pain.

It was a pity that this perfect figure did not conform to the aesthetics of this era.

It required a pair of eyes that knew how to appreciate it to discover it.

And it was precisely because of this wrong perception that Tang Lian Xing had a misplaced sense of inferiority.

In her eyes, Yao Yue was perfect, while she herself would be despised.

Just like seventeen years ago.

In the eyes of the man she secretly admired, there had been a flash of disdain.

This was also one of the reasons why she didn't dare to express her feelings back then.

The so-called "stealing nutrition" was naturally a boring fantasy.

Although the two women were sisters, their ages differed by four years.

Although both women looked to be in their early twenties.

In reality, Tang Lian Xing was already nearly forty.

It was only because she cultivated the "Bright Jade Art," which preserves youth, that she maintained her youthful beauty.

After opening her eyes, Yao Yue subconsciously glanced at Tang Lian Xing’s left hand hidden in her long sleeve and her left foot under her long skirt.

But this gaze went away quickly and was retracted even faster.

Even someone as sharp as Tang Lian Xing did not notice it.

Retracting her gaze, Yao Yue asked coldly and indifferently:

"Why did Gu Gu Hanyuan suddenly return to Ming Guo? And why did he go to the Northwest Wu Lin? Did something happen in the Northwest Wu Lin?"

Tang Lian Xing’s beautiful eyes flickered as she told the story of Li Li Xunhuan and the Plum Blossom Thief.

Yao Yue snorted coldly:

"Hmph, Li Li Xunhuan!"

Li Li Xunhuan barely met the Flower-Moving Palace’s rule of "killing all heartless men in the world."

Li Li Xunhuan’s actions back then were no different from abandoning Lin Lin Shiyin.

It was just that because of Long Long Xiaoyun’s involvement, the whole matter became much more complicated.

Even Yao Yue found it difficult to judge whether she should kill Li Li Xunhuan.

But she certainly had no good feelings for Li Li Xunhuan.

Yao Yue shook her head, putting aside her consideration of Li Li Xunhuan for the time being.

She asked about a question she was more concerned about.

"Is that Gu Gu Hanyuan really as the rumors say?"

Tang Lian Xing couldn't help but say in a deep voice:

"It should be true. His divine art is peerless; he killed the 'Green Demon Hand' Yi Ku with one palm. Moreover, it is rumored that because he disliked the heavy snow blocking the road, he opened the sky with one palm, dispersing the dark clouds, so that it didn't snow in that area for many days."

Yao Yue furrowed her beautiful eyebrows and asked in a condensed voice:

"Anything else?"

Tang Lian Xing knew what Yao Yue was more concerned about, and after a moment of trance, she said:

"Our disciples scouting for information in the Northwest Wu Lin were fortunate enough to see Gu Gu Hanyuan once. Whether his talent is peerless is unknown, but his appearance is indeed as the rumors say—handsome as an immortal descending to the mortal world."

What Tang Lian Xing didn't say was that the Flower-Moving Palace disciple who was fortunate enough to see Gu Gu Hanyuan had a distracted look when reporting to her, clearly bewitched by Gu Gu Hanyuan.

The gentle and kind Tang Lian Xing, worried that Yao Yue would discover this, hurriedly sent that disciple out of the palace.

And to prevent her from sinking deeper, she specifically changed her location, not daring to let her go to the Northwest Wu Lin again.

After all, if Yao Yue found out that a disciple had fallen in love with a man without permission, the lightest punishment would be to cripple her cultivation and expel her from the palace.

If they had made a secret vow of love, it was even more likely that Yao Yue would kill her.

Back then, the Wu Lin rumored that there was no girl in the world who could resist the smile of 'Jade Young Master' Jiang Feng.

And there was no hero who could resist the light sword of Yan Nantian.

Everyone believed that Yan Nantian’s sword could not only take the head of a commander among a million troops but also split a single hair into two.

And Jiang Feng’s smile could shatter a girl’s heart.

The current Gu Gu Hanyuan seemed to be a combination of both, and even an enhanced version.

And because Yao Yue had been hurt by love due to Jiang Feng, and had a great battle with Yan Nantian because of Jiang Feng’s death, they were mortal enemies.

Therefore, since Gu Gu Hanyuan became famous, Yao Yue couldn't help but start paying attention.

However, Gu Gu Hanyuan had previously been either in Song Guo or Qing Guo, and even if news came, it had passed through several hands, inevitably being somewhat inaccurate or incomplete.

Yao Yue pondered for a moment and asked:

"So Gu Gu Hanyuan’s romantic and sentimental nature is also true?"

Tang Lian Xing choked upon hearing this and said hesitantly:

"It should be true. The news says that the number one beauty of the Northwest Wu Lin, Lin Xian’er, has been taken as his captive, and there is also a pretty storyteller girl named Sun Xiaohong who has become his confidante."

She paused.
