Chapter 948

~5 min read 831 words

He immediately felt a bit vigilant.

However, this was not the time to question Huo Qingtong.

He laughed heartily:

"Many thanks to Brother Gu for saving my sister."

Gu Hanyuan said gently:

"Young Tribal Leader Huo is too polite."

As the saying goes, everyone helps carry the flowery sedan chair.

Huo Huo Ayi saw Gu Hanyuan behaving politely and calling him "Young Tribal Leader".

His mood immediately improved quite a bit.

Although he was wary of Gu Hanyuan abducting his sister.

On the surface, he laughed generously:

"Brother Gu is my sister's savior, and famous throughout the Jianghu, calling me Young Tribal Leader is too much of an honor."

Gu Hanyuan followed the flow and called out:

"Brother Huo."

However, in his heart, he didn't take Huo Huo Ayi seriously at all.

Fukang'an was right about one thing.

Huo Huo Ayi was just a good-for-nothing.

Huo Qingtong saw the harmonious atmosphere between the two.

And looked at Gu Hanyuan with increasingly soft eyes.

She knew that with Gu Hanyuan's vision, he likely looked down on Huo Huo Ayi.

He was only being this polite for her sake.

Huo Qingtong had accompanied Huo Huo Ayi to Western Xia for the marriage recruitment to find allies.

Since Gu Hanyuan had already given her an alliance target, Khwarazm.

She didn't want to waste time on the marriage recruitment anymore.

She said to Huo Huo Ayi:

"I'm still feeling a bit weak, I'm afraid I can't fight for you today, Brother."

Huo Huo Ayi said nonchalantly:

"It doesn't matter, at worst we'll just concede. I don't have much interest in that Princess Yinchuan anyway."

Although Huo Huo Ayi was loyal and upright.

He was neither good at literature nor martial arts.

The Western Xia marriage recruitment was just a formality for him.

He didn't think much of Huo Qingtong's chances of finding someone to ally with either.

He left the decision-making power entirely to Huo Qingtong.

Huo Qingtong had just confirmed her feelings.

Her mind was at a sensitive stage.

Therefore, Gu Hanyuan stayed here to chat with her.

Huo Qingtong felt Gu Hanyuan's intentions.

Her mood became even more joyful.

From time to time, she revealed a beautiful, smiling face.

Huo Huo Ayi, on the side, looked very displeased.

Suspecting that Gu Hanyuan had already abducted Huo Qingtong.

Yet the atmosphere between the two was harmonious.

There wasn't even room for him to interject.

He could only sulk there.

Deciding to lecture Huo Qingtong after Gu Hanyuan left.

At this moment, Gu Hanyuan suddenly sensed a gaze staring fixedly at him.

He turned his head toward the direction of Goguryeo.

Gao Jianwu was nowhere to be seen.

Only Fu Junyu, dressed in martial arts attire, was staring at him with a conflicted expression.

Seeing this, Gu Hanyuan smiled gently at her.

Unfortunately, Fu Junyu didn't appreciate it.

She snorted softly and turned her head away.

Yesterday, Gao Jianwu had already left Western Xia.

But Fu Junyu had deliberately stayed behind.

Fu Cailin's Yi Sword Pavilion held a transcendent status in Goguryeo.

Gao Jianwu couldn't force her either.

He could only let her stay behind alone.

Fu Junyu had been conflicted all day.

Wandering back and forth between going to find Gu Hanyuan to learn swordplay and not going.

Although she didn't want to lose her innocence just like that, without rhyme or reason.

She really wanted to get her hands on Gu Hanyuan's "Nine Swords of Dugu".

Not only because she wanted to win against Fu Junqiang.

But also because she thought of Fu Cailin's intention to have them assassinate Yang Guang.

It was just that the candidate hadn't been decided yet.

Although assassinating Yang Guang was dangerous.

To them, it was a kind of honor.

If successful, they would even be national heroes.

Fu Junyu had always wanted to gain Fu Cailin's recognition.

Therefore, she was the most active regarding the assassination of Yang Guang.

However, her martial arts were the weakest among the three sisters.

It was almost impossible for her to be chosen.

Now, Gu Hanyuan had given her a chance.

Whether to seize this opportunity was also a matter of a single thought.

Therefore, she became even more conflicted.

Today, she subconsciously looked at Gu Hanyuan.

Only to find him chatting happily with Huo Qingtong.

Although Fu Junyu didn't recognize Huo Qingtong.

As a woman herself, how could she not see her intentions?

Clearly, she was enamored with Gu Hanyuan.

Fu Junyu saw Huo Qingtong's peerless beauty.

And silently compared herself to her.

She dejectedly discovered that she had lost by a notch.

With Huo Qingtong as a precedent.

She wondered if Gu Hanyuan would still be interested in her?

If Gu Hanyuan lost interest.

Then there was no need to even mention learning swordplay.

Fu Junyu not only didn't feel relieved.

Instead, a feeling of unwillingness surged in her heart.

"Did I lose to someone else again?" This thought lingered in her mind.
