Chapter 770

Wu Xingyun Manor was nominally inherited by Long Long Xiaoyun, but in reality, it had fallen under Gu Gu Hanyuan’s control.

All servants, except for the maids, were dismissed.

For the outer courtyard, some "Evil-Warding Guards" were summoned as sentries.

As for the incompetent petty people like Ba Ying who had clung to Wu Xingyun Manor, they were all expelled, daring to be angry but not to speak.

Once these matters were finished, the sky had already darkened.

Not long after, a pretty maid delivered a calling card; Ji Ji Yaohua requested an audience.

Gu Gu Hanyuan, now the actual controller of Wu Xingyun Manor, had no more scruples.

He reached out and pinched the maid hard before letting her go, her face flushed, to invite Ji Ji Yaohua in.

When Ji Ji Yaohua walked into the courtyard, her face was full of smiles, but her beautiful eyes were filled with vigilance.

She naturally noticed the shy appearance of the maid who had brought her in.

This led to many blush-inducing conjectures in her heart.

Gu Gu Hanyuan sat on a stone stool, with a wine pot and two cups placed on the stone table in front of him...

Looking at the beautiful Ji Ji Yaohua, his expression was languid and his smile playful.

Ji Ji Yaohua had clearly dressed up for her visit to see Gu Gu Hanyuan.

She had shed her solemn Six Doors uniform and was wearing a purple gauze dress, which made her already beautiful figure appear even more graceful and alluring.

Her lightly powdered face looked even more stunning, as beautiful as spring flowers.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s eyes were deep as he pondered for a moment, already having some guesses.

He said indifferently:

"Miss Ji, you wouldn't mind having a few drinks with me, would you?"

Ji Ji Yaohua’s gaze fell on the wine pot on the table, and her eyes inevitably became even more vigilant.

Being in a department like the Six Doors, what kind of tricks hadn't she seen?

Moreover, she was an undercover agent, so she had to remain cautious and careful at all times.

Ji Ji Yaohua relied on her beauty, and she was facing the romantic and passionate Gu Gu Hanyuan.

If she drank this cup of wine, she might not know where she would wake up tomorrow morning.

Therefore, she wore a radiant smile, but politely declined:

"I apologize, Young Master Gu. I have to investigate a case tomorrow, so it is not convenient for me to drink."

Ji Ji Yaohua was not just making an excuse.

She truly needed to reinvestigate the Plum Blossom Thief case, which had many suspicious points.

The Catcher God had even specifically instructed her to try her best to clear Li Li Xunhuan of suspicion.

However, she had a massive headache after hearing the sequence of events from A'fei.

The Plum Blossom Thief case had many suspicious points, but the clues were mostly broken.

Especially if one wanted to clear Li Li Xunhuan of suspicion, the only breakthrough points were Long Long Xiaoyun, Bai Bai Xiaosheng, and Master Master Tiedi.

However, these three had already died at Li Li Xunhuan’s hands.

With no proof left, it only served to confirm the suspicion that Li Li Xunhuan was the Plum Blossom Thief.

Gu Gu Hanyuan smiled slightly, unconcerned.

Just as Ji Ji Yaohua breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to discuss serious business.

She saw Gu Gu Hanyuan reach out and grasp the air, and she immediately felt an irresistible suction force.

By the time she regained her senses, she had already fallen into a warm embrace.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s deep eyes and handsome face were already right before her.

"Young... Young Master Gu?"

Ji Ji Yaohua called out in subconscious astonishment.

Gu Gu Hanyuan felt the elasticity and softness of Ji Ji Yaohua’s slender waist through his fingertips and laughed playfully:

"Drinking late at night with a beauty by one's side but not in one's arms—even the finest wine would be tasteless."

Gu Gu Hanyuan suddenly made a move that disrupted Ji Ji Yaohua’s plans.

Although she knew that meeting late at night would likely lead to accidents, she hadn't expected Gu Gu Hanyuan to be so direct.

Shouldn't he have led the conversation toward ambiguity and then naturally steered it toward romance?

Ji Ji Yaohua was beautiful and a goddess catcher of the Six Doors; she did not shy away from using her beauty.

With her schemes, abilities, and martial arts that were strange compared to Central Plains martial arts, she could make men lose their souls just by speaking.

How had she ever been taken advantage of like this?

Her pure and clean body was touched by Gu Gu Hanyuan, especially in a sensitive area like her waist, which immediately gave her goosebumps.

Ji Ji Yaohua began to struggle violently.

However, Gu Gu Hanyuan’s arms were like iron hoops, not moving a bit; she couldn't break free at all.

Yet she couldn't choose to use force, as she not only couldn't beat the divinely powerful Gu Gu Hanyuan, but it was more likely to cause a falling out.

However, the result of such meaningless struggling was that Ji Ji Yaohua’s beautiful eyes widened, her body stiffened, and she dared not move again.

For a moment, she deeply regretted that the purple gauze dress she wore was too thin.

Gu Gu Hanyuan raised an eyebrow and teased:

"Why has Miss Ji stopped moving?"

Ji Ji Yaohua’s pretty face turned red, and she was incredibly ashamed and angry, but she had no choice but to say in a low voice:

"Young Master Gu, please show some self-respect."

Gu Gu Hanyuan laughed meaningfully:

"Since Miss Ji came for an appointment late at night, a lone man and a lone woman... where is the self-respect?"

He paused.

His palm climbed upward, and he mocked:

"Besides, Miss Ji is dressed so beautifully; do you believe yourself when you say you aren't seducing me?"

Ji Ji Yaohua pulled hard on Gu Gu Hanyuan’s hand, her slender jade-like fingers turning white from the excessive force, with blood vessels and veins clearly visible.

It was evident how hard Ji Ji Yaohua was trying.

Yet even so, she still couldn't shake Gu Gu Hanyuan in the slightest, and her stunning face was already completely red.

Biting her teeth, she said urgently:

"Young Master Gu, I have serious business to discuss with you."

Gu Gu Hanyuan leaned into Ji Ji Yaohua’s ear and whispered:

"Isn't Miss Ji trying to kill two birds with one stone? Free-riding is not a good habit."

Ji Ji Yaohua’s expression froze.

Gu Gu Hanyuan had hit the nail on the head.

Today’s investigation process was a novel experience for her.

Ever since the news of her meeting Gu Gu Hanyuan at night spread, there wasn't a single martial artist who didn't treat her with courtesy.

No matter what questions she asked, they cooperated honestly, as honestly as could be.

Even the proud and arrogant Guo Guo Songyang and Lu Lu Fengxian were no exception.

Clearly, they all believed that Ji Ji Yaohua might become Gu Gu Hanyuan’s confidante.

Not to mention the rumors in the martial arts world.

Having witnessed the earth-shattering duel between Gu Gu Hanyuan and the land immortal Wuxiang with her own eyes.

No one dared to question Gu Gu Hanyuan’s divine martial arts anymore.

Even Guo Guo Songyang couldn't help but feel despondent, his state of mind damaged.

He had carelessly lost to A'fei, and although he had suffered a significant blow, he still had excuses to find.

However, witnessing Gu Gu Hanyuan’s move "Famous Throughout the World," which transformed into a giant sword, made him doubt his life.

Was such a terrifying sword technique really something he could reach through hard practice?

A swordsman began to doubt his own sword, and his state of mind was naturally damaged.

Ji Ji Yaohua deeply realized Gu Gu Hanyuan’s prestige in the martial arts world, and she inevitably had some thoughts of going along with the flow.

She couldn't help but think that if she could get Gu Gu Hanyuan’s help, the freedom she wanted didn't seem so out of reach anymore.
