Chapter 83: Granny Jinhua comes knocking

After Gu Hanyuan went out and told Yang Buhui that he had saved Ji Xiaofu, he ordered her to let Ji Xiaofu rest well and received another fragrant kiss from her.

Both gave him an S-rank evaluation of 2300 Villain Points and an A-rank evaluation of 1000 Villain Points respectively.

Zhang Wuji was busy providing emergency treatment to the many Jianghu figures. Fortunately, the poison they were given was not deep, and he actually managed to save them.

By the time Ji Xiaofu recovered her ability to move and calmed her mood, it was already evening.

Gu Hanyuan found an opportunity to approach Ji Xiaofu.

"Miss Ji, regarding the matter from before..."

Gu Hanyuan's words were interrupted by Ji Xiaofu before he could finish.

"I have already forgotten about the matter from before. Thank you for saving me once again."

Ji Xiaofu still didn't quite dare to look at him, her gaze drifting away.

Such a long time had been enough for her to build up her psychological defenses.

Although the process was very shameful, in the end, he had saved her life.

If it weren't for that final scene, Ji Xiaofu might have been calmer; after all, she was no longer an innocent maiden.

"I am not talking about the matter during the treatment, but the matter of you being poisoned, Miss Ji."

Gu Hanyuan said this deliberately, making Ji Xiaofu blush deeply again.

After taking a few breaths to calm down, Ji Xiaofu asked, enduring her shame:

"Is there any clue about the person who poisoned me?"

"Not yet, but the person who poisoned you has sophisticated methods and is definitely no ordinary person. They must be targeting Hu Qingniu. Therefore, after seeing that the poison has been neutralized, they might strike again. It is almost impossible to avoid the eyes and ears of so many people during the day, so they can only strike at night. The Jianghu figures outside are too scattered and hard to guard against. But since you are staying indoors, Miss Ji, we can easily catch a turtle in a jar."

Gu Hanyuan told Ji Xiaofu his plan.

Ji Xiaofu nodded in agreement.

"Miss Ji, rest assured. I will hide in the shadows. Even if I cannot catch her, I will definitely not let that person truly harm you."

Gu Hanyuan's expression was serious and earnest as he gave his guarantee, as if he were saying that Ji Xiaofu was extremely important.

Ji Xiaofu looked at Gu Hanyuan's eyes, which faintly reflected her own figure, and her heart trembled slightly.

She only felt that this person always said things that disturbed her mind.

But she still couldn't help but feel happy because of the importance he placed on her in his words.

Ji Xiaofu pretended to tidy her hair, turning sideways to avoid Gu Hanyuan's gaze, covering the feeling of heat on her face.

That momentary shyness displayed her charm to the fullest; even in a simple dress and hairpin, it was hard to hide her beauty.

After the two agreed on the plan, someone did indeed sneak in that night, intending to poison Ji Xiaofu.

Ji Xiaofu instantly erupted, raising her palm to strike.

That person's Wu Gong was much weaker than expected.

Taken by surprise, the person didn't dare to block, retreated several steps, and took out poison powder from their bosom to scatter at Ji Xiaofu.

Ji Xiaofu was just surprised that the poison powder was hard to resist when Gu Hanyuan, who had suddenly appeared at her side, pulled her into his arms, dodging the attack.

Seeing that there was actually a helper, the person hurriedly wanted to flee.

Ji Xiaofu no longer had time to feel shy about falling into Gu Hanyuan's arms; she stepped forward and struck the person on the back, making them stumble.

With no chance to escape, Gu Hanyuan easily captured the person.

Gu Hanyuan had long known that the person who came was Hu Qingniu's wife, the 'Poison Immortal' Wang Nangu. He stepped forward and removed her veil; she was indeed a woman with delicate eyebrows and a fair face.

However, she was far inferior to Ji Xiaofu, and Gu Hanyuan gave her a score of 83.

The commotion had already awakened Zhang Wuji and Hu Qingniu, who both arrived at Ji Xiaofu's room.

Seeing that it was Wang Nangu, Hu Qingniu hurriedly stepped forward.

By this time, Gu Hanyuan had already released Wang Nangu, but Hu Qingniu saw her clutching her chest, clearly injured.

He asked in a rage:

"How did you get injured? Who hit you?"

When Hu Qingniu saw Wang Nangu gesturing towards Ji Xiaofu, he wanted to step forward and slap her.

It wasn't that Ji Xiaofu couldn't have dodged.

But Gu Hanyuan was present, so how could he let Hu Qingniu harm her?

He reached out to block Hu Qingniu's slap, looking at him with cold indifference.

"Mr. Hu, I respect that you cured Junior Brother Wuji and opened your medical books for us to read, and I am very grateful to you, but I cannot allow you to harm people indiscriminately. This person clearly came to poison us, so why are you, Mr. Hu, so protective of her?"

Hu Qingniu regained his reason after being blocked by Gu Hanyuan and explained:

"This is my wife, Wang Nangu, known in the Jianghu as the 'Poison Immortal'."

Next, Hu Qingniu explained the conflict between the two; one poisoned people, the other saved them, and they had been feuding for years.

After hearing this, everyone felt that Wang Nangu was being unreasonable, but since it was someone else's family matter, they couldn't say much.

Ji Xiaofu only remembered that Gu Hanyuan had protected her twice, not letting her be poisoned by the powder, nor letting her be slapped for no reason.

A long-lost sweetness grew in her heart.

In order to raise Yang Buhui, she had drifted through the martial arts world for many years and hadn't been protected like this for a long time.

Hu Qingniu explained the grievances between the two and Granny Jinhua.

And Granny Jinhua was about to come knocking.

Afterwards, Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu staged a scene of feuding and committing suicide by poison.

Gu Hanyuan knew that it was a fake death scheme, so he didn't interfere and watched them perform quietly.

The next day, Granny Jinhua did indeed bring Yin Li to the door, first killing all the Jianghu figures outside.

Then, after confirming in the room that Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu had committed suicide by poison, she prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, she ran right into Zhang Wuji.

After Zhang Wuji stepped forward and argued a few words, her identity was exposed.

Granny Jinhua was once the Purple Shirt Dragon King, Dai Qisi, and was close friends with Xie Xun, so she knew best how difficult he was to deal with.

Although it was widely rumored in the Jianghu that Xie Xun was dead and the Dragon Slaying Saber had fallen into the hands of Wutian, she belonged to the group that was more skeptical. ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
