Xingyun Manor was nominally inherited by Long Xiaoyun, but in reality, it fell into the control of Gu Hanyuan.
All servants except for the maids were dismissed.
The outer courtyard summoned some "evil-repelling guards" to serve as protectors.
As for incompetent villains like Ba Ying who clung to Xingyun Manor, they could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out as they were all expelled.
By the time these tasks were completed, it was already dark.
Before long, a pretty maidservant delivered a visiting card, and Ji Yaohua requested an audience.
Having become the de facto controller of Xingyun Manor, Gu Hanyuan had no more scruples.
He reached out and pinched the maid hard before letting her go, her pretty face flushed, to invite Ji Yaohua in.
When Ji Yaohua entered the courtyard, she had a smile on her face, but her beautiful eyes were full of vigilance.
The maid who brought her in naturally noticed her shy demeanor.
This gave her a lot of blush-inducing speculations.
Gu Hanyuan sat on a stone bench, with a wine pot and two wine cups on the stone table in front of him...
Looking at the beautiful Ji Yaohua, he had a languid expression and a playful smile.
Ji Yaohua was clearly dressed up when she came to see Gu Hanyuan.
Shedding her solemn Six Doors uniform, she wore a purple gauze dress, which made her already beautiful figure even more graceful.
Her delicately made-up face was even more beautiful, as lovely as a spring flower.
Gu Hanyuan pondered for a moment, his eyes filled with a deep sense of contemplation, and he had already formed some guesses.
He said calmly:
"Miss Ji, would you mind having a few drinks with me?"
Ji Yaohua's gaze fell on the wine pot on the table, and her eyes inevitably became more wary.
Being in a department like the Six Doors, what kind of tricks haven't I seen?
Moreover, given her undercover identity, she had to remain constantly cautious.
Ji Yaohua, confident in her beauty, was facing the charming and amorous Gu Hanyuan.
After this glass of wine, I might not be able to get up from anywhere tomorrow morning.
Therefore, with a gentle smile, she politely declined, saying:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. I have to investigate a case tomorrow, so it's not convenient for me to drink."
Ji Yaohua is not just a simple excuse.
She really needs to reinvestigate the plum blossom theft case, which is riddled with doubts.
The God of Catchers even specifically instructed her to try her best to clear Li Xunhuan of suspicion.
However, after hearing what happened from Afei, she had a terrible headache.
There are many suspicious points in the case of the Plum Blossom Thief, but the clues have almost all run out.
In particular, if they want to clear Li Xunhuan of suspicion, the only breakthrough is Long Xiaoyun, Bai Xiaosheng, and Mr. Tiedi.
However, all three of them had already died at the hands of Li Xunhuan.
The fact that Li Xunhuan was dead and unable to testify only further solidified the suspicion that he was the Plum Blossom Thief.
Gu Hanyuan smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned by what he heard.
Just as Ji Yaohua breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get down to business...
As soon as Gu Hanyuan reached out and grasped her hand, she immediately felt an irresistible suction force.
When I came to my senses, I was already in a warm embrace.
Gu Hanyuan's deep eyes and handsome face were now right in front of me.
"Young Master Gu...?"
Ji Yaohua instinctively exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Hanyuan felt the elasticity and softness of Ji Yaohua's slender waist through his fingertips and smiled playfully:
"Drinking late at night, with a beautiful woman by your side but not in your arms, even the finest wine will taste bland."
Chapter 735: Since Miss Ji has come to the appointment so late at night, where is her self-respect, a man and a woman alone together? (Please subscribe, give flowers, and leave a comment)
Gu Hanyuan's sudden intervention disrupted Ji Yaohua's plans.
Although she knew that going to a meeting late at night might lead to something unexpected, she didn't expect Gu Hanyuan to be so direct.
Shouldn't we steer the conversation towards something ambiguous, and then naturally bring up the topic of romance and love?
Ji Yaohua is as beautiful as a flower and is also a goddess constable of the Six Doors. She does not shy away from using her beauty.
With her cunning, abilities, and martial arts skills that are unorthodox in the Central Plains, she can bewitch men with just her words.
I've never been taken advantage of like this before.
When Gu Hanyuan touched her pure and innocent body, especially her waist, a sensitive area, it immediately sent shivers down her spine.
Ji Yaohua struggled fiercely.
However, Gu Hanyuan's arm was like an iron band, completely immovable, and she couldn't break free at all.
However, they couldn't choose to resort to force, since not only was it impossible for them to defeat Gu Hanyuan, who possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, but they were also likely to break off all relations.
However, the result of this pointless struggle was that Ji Yaohua's beautiful eyes widened, her delicate body stiffened, and she dared not move anymore.
She immediately regretted wearing such a thin purple tulle dress.
Gu Hanyuan raised an eyebrow and teased:
"Why isn't Miss Ji moving?"
Ji Yaohua's pretty face gradually flushed red, her heart filled with shame and anger, but she could only helplessly say in a deep voice:
"Young Master Gu, please have some self-respect."
Gu Hanyuan smiled meaningfully:
"Since Miss Ji has come to this appointment so late at night, where is her self-respect, being alone with a man and a woman?"
There was a pause.
He reached up with his palm facing upwards, and said sarcastically:
"Besides, Miss Ji is dressed so beautifully, do you really believe she's not trying to seduce me?"
Ji Yaohua gripped Gu Hanyuan's hand tightly, her slender hand turning white from the force, revealing clear veins and bulging veins.
This shows how much effort Ji Yaohua put in.
Even so, it did not shake Gu Hanyuan in the slightest; her beautiful face was already flushed red.
She clenched her teeth and said urgently:
"Young Master Gu, I have something important to discuss with you."
Gu Hanyuan leaned close to Ji Yaohua's ear and whispered:
"Miss Ji, isn't your goal to kill two birds with one stone? Taking advantage of others for free isn't a good habit."
Ji Yaohua's expression froze.
Gu Hanyuan's prediction came true.
Today's investigation was a novel experience for her.
Ever since the news of her planned meeting with Gu Hanyuan at night spread, not a single person in the martial arts world has treated her with utmost courtesy.
No matter what questions were asked, they cooperated honestly and as obediently as could be.
Even the proud and arrogant Guo Songyang and Lü Fengxian were no exception.
It's clear that everyone believes Ji Yaohua could become Gu Hanyuan's confidante.
Let's leave aside the rumors circulating in the martial arts world.
I witnessed firsthand the earth-shattering duel between Gu Hanyuan and the terrestrial immortal Wuxiang.
No one dared to question Gu Hanyuan's unparalleled martial arts skills anymore.
Even Guo Songyang couldn't help but feel disheartened and his spirits were damaged.
He lost to Afei due to carelessness, and although he suffered a considerable blow, he still had an excuse to make.
However, witnessing Gu Hanyuan's "Famous Throughout the World" move, which transformed into a colossal sword, made him question the meaning of life.
Is such terrifying swordsmanship really something he could achieve through hard work alone?
The swordsman began to doubt his own sword, and his mental state was naturally affected.
Ji Yaohua deeply understood Gu Hanyuan's power and influence in the martial arts world, and inevitably had some thoughts of making the best of a bad situation.
She couldn't help but think that if she could get Gu Hanyuan's help, the freedom she wanted would no longer seem like an unattainable dream.
