Chapter 899

"If you are not afraid of being punished."

If he really told the four women about their relationship in advance,

given Wu Xingyun's tsundere nature,

she would definitely explode upon finding out.

The four women immediately lost their nerve upon hearing this.

Lan Jian laughed dryly and said:

"Then never mind."

They still held Wu Xingyun in great awe.

Ju Jian looked at Gu Hanyuan's face, which seemed more handsome the more she looked at it,

and a blush spread across her cheeks.

She asked shyly:

"Is Young Master Gu really not even twenty years old yet?"

A man so young and handsome,

who also possessed such high martial arts and was so renowned,

was an ideal master that they couldn't find even if they searched with a lantern.

Gu Hanyuan smiled lightly upon hearing this:

"Why? Does it not seem so?"

Lan Jian said with a slight blush:

"It's not that it doesn't seem so, it's just that Young Master's martial arts are unimaginably high."

She greatly admired Gu Hanyuan's martial arts.

The scene where Gu Hanyuan had lifted hundreds of people with just a gesture

still felt unbelievable to this day.

Gu Hanyuan smiled lightly:

"I was just lucky and had some opportunities."

Gu Hanyuan had originally just been humble in passing,

but the four women began a pattern of praise.

"I think Young Master's natural talent is just too high, which is why you have such achievements today."

"Luck is also a part of strength."

"The Jianghu is saying that Young Master Gu is the number one person beneath the Earth Immortal Realm."

"Young Master Gu will surely become the youngest Earth Immortal."

Gu Hanyuan said with an inexplicable expression:

"Are you worried that I won't accept you?"

Gu Hanyuan could understand their thoughts.

After all, suddenly having a new master,

it was normal to feel some unease.

Not to mention that this new master was even better than they had originally imagined.

Feeling anxious,

they would naturally be eager to confirm the relationship between the two parties.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan had pierced through their little thoughts,

the four women were all somewhat embarrassed.

Mei Jian tentatively asked with caution:

"Then is Young Master willing to accept us?"

She deliberately omitted Gu Hanyuan's surname when addressing him,

actively expressing a desire for closeness.

Gu Hanyuan did not object upon hearing this.

He smiled helplessly:

"How could I refuse the Sect Master's good intentions?"

This could be considered him receiving the goods in advance.

Upon hearing this, the four women revealed identical joyful smiles.

They promised earnestly in unison:

"We will definitely serve Young Master well."

"Then I shall wait and see."

A playful glint flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

Quadruplets would indeed be very interesting.

Gu Hanyuan had Yu Po send someone to retrieve Cheng Qingshuang, who had gone to report to Wu Xingyun.

Gu Hanyuan did not want Wu Xingyun to learn the news just yet.

Since she wanted to play a game of "replacing the peach tree with a plum,"

Gu Hanyuan would play along with her.

The women led Gu Hanyuan to the Jiugong.

Tonight, he had first scouted the Xixia Grand General's Mansion,

and then rushed to reinforce Soul-Severing Cliff.

After tossing and turning for most of the night,

it was already very late when they arrived at the Jiugong.

Yu Po did not dare to disturb Gu Hanyuan.

She dismissed the women of the Nine Heavens and Nine Divisions who were still curious about Gu Hanyuan,

and let the four women, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, take Gu Hanyuan to rest.

The four women led Gu Hanyuan to a brand-new palace deep within the Jiugong.

Mei Jian introduced it:

"This was built after the Sect Master returned; she had ordered that it be prepared for Young Master."

Gu Hanyuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Wu Xingyun really had prepared everything for him.

For a moment, he even had a strange feeling of "living off a woman."

It had to be said that this "living off a woman" was truly sweet.

Gu Hanyuan suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

He pointed to the palace on the side and asked:

"What is that place?"

Lan Jian explained:

"That is the Sect Master's residence."

Gu Hanyuan was also at a loss for Wu Xingyun's tsundere nature.

Her desire to be close, yet fear of being too close, was fully revealed.

Since it was built right next door,

she might as well have just let him move into her palace directly.

Yet she had to go through all this extra trouble.

Walking into the palace,

looking at the magnificent decor,

Gu Hanyuan was somewhat surprised by the wealth of the Jiugong.

It must have been from the offerings of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands and the various medicinal herbs unique to Mount Tianshan that they had earned so much wealth.

Walking into the palace,

there were many hot spring vents on Misty Peak.

He saw a huge hot spring pool come into view.
