Chapter 96: Buhui, I

"Sorry! I ran into some accidents on the way, which delayed me."

Gu Hanyuan looked at the worried crowd with an apologetic face.

"It's fine, as long as you are safe and sound."

Ji Xiaofu didn't care what kind of accident he had run into, revealing a gentle and relieved smile.

Ever since Gu Hanyuan saved her from Abbess Miejue's hands, her heart was filled with his figure, and she felt that she might have to be sorry to Yang Buhui.

"Hanyuan, my master will not let me go easily, and it is too dangerous to take Buhui with me. I hope you can take Buhui to Sitang Peak on Mount Kunlun to find her father, Yang Xiao."

After thinking for a whole day, Ji Xiaofu still decided to separate from the crowd, and she would go elsewhere alone to lure Abbess Miejue away.

It was just that she didn't know that Abbess Miejue had suffered not-so-light injuries and was actually unable to pursue.

Gu Hanyuan was quite satisfied with this result; after all, if Zhang Wuji didn't go to Mount Kunlun, he wouldn't have the opportunity to obtain the complete 'Nine Yang Divine Art'.

Now that there was a reason to go to Mount Kunlun, he naturally wouldn't oppose it.

"Miss Ji's words make sense. If you have truly decided, it is best to leave the Ming Guo. The Emei Sect's hand cannot reach outside the Ming Guo; as long as you leave the Ming Guo, you will be safe."

Gu Hanyuan directly suggested that Ji Xiaofu go abroad; this way, she could avoid Abbess Miejue's subsequent pursuit, and also avoid meeting Yang Xiao within the Ming Kingdom, which would lead to the rekindling of old feelings.

Ji Xiaofu expressed her agreement and handed the Iron Flame Token to Gu Hanyuan, asking him to bring it to Yang Xiao.

"Junior Brother Wuji, you should also follow and go to Mount Kunlun. Although we haven't found a way to cure the cold poison, perhaps there is another opportunity in Mount Kunlun?"

Zhang Wuji also felt that Gu Hanyuan's words made sense and decided to follow him to Mount Kunlun; anyway, it was a situation of treating a dead horse as a living one.

After the crowd agreed, they stayed at the inn for the night and set off the next morning.

At night, Ji Xiaofu was resting her chin on her hands, looking at the candle burning on the table.

The flickering candlelight was just like her thoughts at this moment.

Yang Buhui was at the age where she loved to sleep, and she was already asleep by now.

And Ji Xiaofu's mind was filled with every bit of her time with Gu Hanyuan from their meeting until now.

It was no longer just the memories of detoxification and being protected, but many more memories of their daily interactions.

In Ji Xiaofu's heart, he was always so gentle and polite, so steady and earnest, and of course, occasionally he would have some bad teasing.

All in all, before she knew it, he had filled her heart.

But there was more complexity in her heart.

Although Yang Buhui was still young, it was clear that she liked him.

Ji Xiaofu herself was no longer the most outstanding young disciple of Emei back then.

How did he see her?

Ji Xiaofu was having a complex psychological struggle.

Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door.

When she opened the door in confusion and saw Gu Hanyuan, who was the object of her thoughts, she couldn't control her blushing face at all.

Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan didn't expose her.

"Miss Ji, I have something to discuss with you privately. Can you come to my room? So as not to wake little sister Buhui."

Hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, Ji Xiaofu's heart shook, and she agreed subconsciously.

By the time she reacted, it was too late, so she had to follow Gu Hanyuan to his room.

Just those few steps, yet it made Ji Xiaofu feel as if she were going to the execution ground.

When she was let into the room by Gu Hanyuan and heard him close the door, her heart jumped, and she felt even more awkward.

"Hanyuan... is there something you want to tell me?"

After she finished speaking, a glimmer of expectation arose in her heart inexplicably.

Gu Hanyuan took a stack of paper from his bosom and handed it to the confused Ji Xiaofu.

"This is a copy of a Wu Gong secret manual I made; it is not from the Wu Dang Sect. As we are about to part, I am worried about your safety, Miss Ji, so I am giving it to you to study."

Hearing that it wasn't what she had expected, Ji Xiaofu was initially disappointed, but after taking the stack of paper and glancing at it roughly, she was somewhat shocked.

Because the content inside, from internal energy to lightness skill and even a whip technique, was very profound; one could tell at a glance that it was of the absolute skill level. There was even a part that could improve one's aptitude for practicing martial arts.

It was exactly the 'Nine Yin Manual' that Gu Hanyuan had copied; Ji Xiaofu couldn't learn too much content, so he just gave her the more useful parts.

Even if it were recognized as the 'Nine Yin Manual', it wouldn't matter; after all, the 'Nine Yin Manual' was widely circulated, and many places had it, although except for Guo Jing, they were relatively incomplete, and even Huang Rong hadn't practiced it fully.

"This is too precious."

Ji Xiaofu wanted to refuse after one glance; after all, she had already received so much kindness, so how could she ask for another secret manual?

Gu Hanyuan pressed down on Ji Xiaofu's hands as she tried to force it back, looking seriously into her eyes...

"Wu Gong is just an external object; if it can give you more security, Miss Ji, then it has value."

Ji Xiaofu stared blankly at Gu Hanyuan's handsome face, listening to his words of concern for her, and for a moment, she was somewhat mesmerized.

Feeling the temperature coming from her hands, she didn't know where the courage came from and threw herself into his arms.

"Hanyuan, why are you so good to me? And how can I repay your kindness?"

"From the first time I saw you, Miss Ji, I understood why the Sixth Martial Uncle has been unable to forget you to this day."

Gu Hanyuan gently stroked her cheek, his eyes gentle and affectionate.

Hearing him mention Yin Liting, Ji Xiaofu instantly felt ashamed and wanted to let go of him.

But when she felt the temperature covering her face, she suddenly didn't want to care about so much anymore.

Only the thought "It's good that it's not just my wishful thinking" remained in her heart.

Ji Xiaofu looked at Gu Hanyuan's face, which was getting closer and closer to her, and could no longer resist.

"Buhui, I'm sorry."

The next day, Yang Buhui looked at Ji Xiaofu, who had returned before dawn, and asked the question in her heart.

"Mother, why do you look so beautiful today, and your complexion is so good?"

Ji Xiaofu imitated Gu Hanyuan's appearance, gently stroking the hair on her daughter's head, and brushed her off.

"Perhaps it's because I don't have to hide from my master anymore?"

In fact, she was thinking in her heart: "Buhui, lend your mother for a while. Just a few years... I will return you to you when you grow up."

Even though Ji Xiaofu was reluctant in her heart, she could only separate from Gu Hanyuan and the other two.

Last night, she gave an S-rank villain evaluation, 3300 Villain Points.

Seeing that the Villain Points had exceeded twenty thousand, he spent 18000 Villain Points to exchange for the first eight forms of the 'Mysterious Sword Technique', plus 1800 Villain Points to upgrade to the Mastery Realm.

In Gu Hanyuan's view, the 'Mysterious Sword Technique' was different from the 'Holy Spirit Sword Technique'; the first eight forms were the true essence, and also the core left by the Sword Sect Grandmaster. As for the last two forms, they were just Wuming's insights.

He believed that as long as the 'Mysterious Sword Technique' reached a certain realm, he would be able to comprehend his own last two forms.
