Chapter 915

Shangguan Haitang watched Gu Hanyuan walking back.

She asked with an inexplicable expression:

"What did Brother Gu just say to Miss Fu?"

Gu Hanyuan said, omitting the beginning and the end:

"We chatted a bit about the 'Yi Sword Technique' I used to defeat Yan Huifeng just now."

Shangguan Haitang asked in surprise:

"Was what Brother Gu used really the 'Yi Sword Technique'?"

She had also noticed earlier that the sword technique Gu Hanyuan used to defeat Yan Huifeng was extremely similar to the "Yi Sword Technique" used by Fu Junyu.

Although the moves were different,

the way of calculating all subsequent moves,

and the sword move that defeated the enemy in one strike, were exactly the same.

Shangguan Haitang was a disciple of Master Wuhen,

so she possessed at least that much discernment.

Gu Hanyuan chuckled lightly:

"It's the genuine article."

Shangguan Haitang asked suspiciously:

"Where did Brother Gu learn the 'Yi Sword Technique'?"

She suspected whether Gu Hanyuan had encountered Fu Cailin,

and learned the "Yi Sword Technique" from him.

However, Gu Hanyuan shattered her speculation.

"I learned it just now."

Shangguan Haitang asked in disbelief:

"Could it be that you learned it after watching Miss Fu use it once just now?"

Gu Hanyuan only responded indifferently:

"Of course."

Shangguan Haitang said with annoyance:

"Does Brother Gu think I'm that easy to fool?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled teasingly:

"Does Brother Shangguan not believe me?"

Shangguan Haitang said with an inexplicable expression:

"It's hard to believe."

She knew Gu Hanyuan had high natural talent,

but for it to be so high that he could learn someone else's sword technique at a glance was too outrageous.

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanyuan only smiled indifferently.

He could understand Shangguan Haitang's thoughts,

and he didn't care whether she was suspicious or not.

Because regardless of whether she believed it or not,

Shangguan Haitang would report it to Zhu Wushi.

Gu Hanyuan was demonstrating his value to Zhu Wushi,

not just his existing combat power,

but even more so his potential.

Although it would attract Zhu Wushi's apprehension,

in a situation where his stance was not yet clear,

given Gu Hanyuan's current reputation,

Zhu Wushi would inevitably prioritize winning him over.

In Gu Hanyuan's view,

although those princes of the Ming Guo were all coveting the throne,

the one with the most hope was still Zhu Wushi.

The others all used methods of usurpation that couldn't be brought into the light.

Only Zhu Wushi had prioritized mastering the ten great generals of the Ming Guo,

holding military power in his hands.

However, Zhu Wushi had a fatal flaw—Suxin.

As long as Gu Hanyuan could hold Suxin in his hands,

Zhu Wushi could be manipulated at will.

Suxin was currently relying on the "Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom" to sustain her life,

sleeping in a Heavenly Pool somewhere on Mount Tianshan.

Mount Tianshan was vast,

and ordinary people could never find the location of the Heavenly Pool where Suxin slept.

Moreover, strangers moving about on Mount Tianshan would easily arouse Zhu Wushi's vigilance.

But Mount Tianshan was the territory of the Lingjiu Palace.

After Gu Hanyuan moved into the Lingjiu Palace,

as long as he spent some time,

he would sooner or later find the Heavenly Pool where Suxin slept.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes were deep.

He was very much looking forward to Zhu Wushi's reaction when the time came.

The subsequent martial arts competition was lukewarm.

Helian Tieshu also announced after a round of competition that it would continue tomorrow,

his intention to delay time being obvious.

Gu Hanyuan did not care about this.

He was watching with great interest as Zhen Sushan approached him.

He saw Zhen Sushan say with a smile in her eyes:

"Young Master Gu, would you do me the honor of a chat?"

Those green eyes revealed a charming look,

as if she were seducing Gu Hanyuan.

Seeing this,

a playful look flashed across Gu Hanyuan's eyes.
