Chapter 84

Hearing Gu Gu Hanyuan’s words, Qi Fang did not know how to respond.

After all, it was quite rare for someone to so openly admit they were a bad person, and she could no longer condemn him from a moral standpoint.

"Why are you telling me these things? And about my martial brother as well."

Qi Fang asked her doubts.

Gu Gu Hanyuan stopped just playing with her hair and began to gently stroke her cheek.

"Of course, it is because I want you, my lady."

Qi Fang got goosebumps from Gu Gu Hanyuan’s actions, and the blush on her face deepened.

"Since you want me, why didn't you make a move when I was unconscious?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan would certainly not tell her it was because it was boring to do so.

"Of course, it is because I want my lady’s heart even more."

She was the heroine, after all; if not for her beauty, he had to think about the villain points and spiritual energy she provided.

Qi Fang was also seeing such a shameless way of courting for the first time, and she endured her shyness.

"My body was given to Wan Gui, and my heart belongs to my martial brother; there is no room for you."

Hearing Qi Fang say this, Gu Gu Hanyuan was not angry; instead, he retorted.

"My lady, hasn't your body already been given to me by Wan Gui? Do you expect me to return the goods?"

Hearing Gu Gu Hanyuan’s words, Qi Fang gritted her teeth even more, not expecting Wan Gui to have no shred of marital affection, selling her just like that.

Gu Gu Hanyuan leaned close to Qi Fang’s face, looking at her delicate skin, and said softly:

"I am not in a hurry for my lady’s heart, but Di Yun is still locked in the dungeon, suffering a lot."

Gu Gu Hanyuan paused, his voice becoming evil and charming.

"My lady, you wouldn't want Di Yun to be locked in the dungeon forever without seeing the light of day, would you?"

Hearing Gu Gu Hanyuan’s words, Qi Fang stiffened, silently shedding two lines of clear tears.

"You must promise to save my martial brother."

"Fine."

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s tone lacked any sincerity, but Qi Fang was helpless.

"Wait, how is this different from Wan Gui?"

"No, what if the little Heart-Cabbage goes hungry?"

"Bastard..."

Wan Wan Zhenshan and Wan Gui waited anxiously in the courtyard.

It was not that they were worried about Qi Fang, but they were anxious to know the news about the treasure.

They were also afraid that Gu Gu Hanyuan would eat his fill and refuse to acknowledge the debt, slipping away directly, so they could only wait in the courtyard.

Of course, Wan Gui’s face was definitely getting uglier.

This wait lasted for a whole day.

Night fell, and when the two looked at Gu Gu Hanyuan opening the door with haggard faces, they cursed him as a bastard in their hearts.

Especially Wan Gui, who felt he had lost big.

Gu Gu Hanyuan did not care what they thought.

He walked to Wan Gui’s side and patted his shoulder:

"Young Master Wan, I am very satisfied."

Which made Wan Gui’s face turn black.

Wan Wan Zhenshan was an old fox after all; seeing Wan Gui not speaking, he asked respectfully:

"Lord Brother Wutian, what about the treasure?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan looked at the impatient Wan Wan Zhenshan and said leisurely:

"I heard that the three of you martial brothers once snatched a 'Liancheng Sword Art' from Mei Niansheng, is that right?"

Wan Wan Zhenshan’s face darkened; after all, having the secret of killing one’s master known by others was not a good thing.

Seeing that he dared not answer, Gu Gu Hanyuan did not care.

"The secret of the treasure is within it, and the method to crack it is to dip the 'Liancheng Sword Art' in [water/liquid], and the password will be revealed."

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s words made the two suddenly realize.

Wan Wan Zhenshan was filled with regret, because after the three martial brothers snatched the 'Liancheng Sword Art' back then, they were all worried about losing it; let alone dipping it, they were reluctant to even let dust touch it, and locked it in an iron box.

Wan Wan Zhenshan asked hurriedly:

"Then where is the 'Liancheng Sword Art'?"

"The 'Liancheng Sword Art' was later packaged as the 'Selected Tang Poetry'; as for its whereabouts, you will have to find it yourselves."

After hearing this, the two were annoyed. They had spent so much time only to know half of it; without the 'Selected Tang Poetry', what was the use of just knowing the cracking method?

Especially Wan Gui, who saw Qi Fang standing at the door looking at the three in the courtyard from afar, her face rosy and her temperament charming.

He knew that the bond between husband and wife had definitely come to an end.

He had exhausted all his schemes to snatch Qi Fang back then; he never expected this would be the result.

"Since the transaction is complete, I will be leaving first. I will come to see Qi Fang again when I have time."

Gu Gu Hanyuan smiled playfully.

The two heard this and their faces turned black. Although there was progress on the secret of the treasure, it was still nowhere to be found. They had also paid with Qi Fang; they had truly lost the wife and the army.

Seeing their expressions, Gu Gu Hanyuan knew what they were thinking, and thought that Ling Ling Tuisi should have a lot in common with them.

Sure enough, getting things for free makes me happy.

He looked back at Qi Fang, and after making her blush, he used his lightness skill and disappeared before any of the three could react...

Seeing Wan Gui walk over, Qi Fang’s face turned from red to black, and she took the initiative to attack before he could speak.

"What are you still coming over for!"

"Fang'er, listen to my explanation."

Wan Gui wanted to step forward and grab Qi Fang’s hand, but she dodged.

"Bah! I don't have a husband like you."

Wan Gui’s face was gloomy. Although he knew Qi Fang would be angry because of this, being accused by her to his face still made him feel he couldn't save face.

Wan Wan Zhenshan came over to smooth things over.

"Good daughter-in-law, don't blame Gui'er; this was also for the treasure. Think about it, if we can get the treasure, won't you have a share of the glory and wealth from now on?"

Listening to Wan Wan Zhenshan’s shameless words, Qi Fang felt her worldview shattering, and she also saw clearly what kind of people the father and son were.

Seeing Qi Fang silent, Wan Wan Zhenshan continued to persuade:

"Good daughter-in-law, since that Brother Wutian knows the method to crack the password, he must also know the whereabouts of the 'Selected Tang Poetry'. Go and play along with him to see if you can ask him anything. You are the daughter-in-law of our Wan family, so you must contribute to the Wan family. Don't worry, Gui'er will definitely treat you well in the future. If he dares to dislike you, your father-in-law will definitely stand up for you."

Hearing Wan Wan Zhenshan’s words, Qi Fang was shaken in her heart, because last night Gu Gu Hanyuan had taken a copy of the 'Selected Tang Poetry' from her; it must be the clue to the treasure they were seeking.

Looking at the faces of Wan Wan Zhenshan and his son, she had no intention of telling them the truth at all, instead feeling that although Gu Gu Hanyuan was bad, he was bad in a real way.

Compared to the shameless father and son, Gu Gu Hanyuan was actually more trustworthy.

"Fine, but give the little Heart-Cabbage back to me."

Seeing Qi Fang agree, Wan Wan Zhenshan was about to show joy, but upon hearing that she wanted the little Heart-Cabbage, his face became uncertain.

The little Heart-Cabbage was the best bargaining chip to control Qi Fang; she definitely could not be returned to her.

"Fang'er, it's not that we don't trust you, it's just that you are now shouldering a heavy responsibility, and it's inconvenient to bring the little Heart-Cabbage. Why don't you wait until you ask for the whereabouts of the 'Selected Tang Poetry' before we return the little Heart-Cabbage to you."

Qi Fang showed a look of pain; the little Heart-Cabbage was also the granddaughter and daughter of these two, yet she was used to threaten her.

But she could not give up the little Heart-Cabbage, so she could only agree, while thinking about whether she could ask Gu Gu Hanyuan for help.

After all, he was quite obsessed with the little Heart-Cabbage’s food.

Qi Fang thought shyly.
