In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

"Isn't Madam going back to sleep?"

"I want to make another deal with you."

Yin Susu forced herself to remain calm and met Gu Hanyuan's gaze.

"Oh? What kind of deal? Tell me about it."

Gu Hanyuan looked at her with amusement.

“I can tell you value intelligence. I can help you build your own intelligence organization.”

Yin Susu did indeed see through Gu Hanyuan's needs.

Moreover, they can secretly develop their power by leveraging the influence of the Sky Eagle Sect, which is much easier than Gu Hanyuan starting from scratch.

Tell me your requirements.

"Help me cure Wuji, the kind that can completely cure him."

Yin Susu was also afraid that Gu Hanyuan would set a trap for her, as he was capable of doing such a thing.

Treating Zhang Wuji was actually part of Gu Hanyuan's plan, which required him to devise the "Nine Yang Divine Skill".

After all, the only clue was in a valley in the Kunlun Mountains.

We can't exactly run all over the Kunlun Mountains to search, can we?

Therefore, we still need to rely on Zhang Wuji's protagonist aura.

As for whether curing Zhang Wuji would cost him villain points, Gu Hanyuan wasn't worried.

The exchange price for the Nine Yang Divine Skill in the system is as high as 8000 points, and no matter how much you deduct, it will not exceed this number.

Considering that this is only the storyline of Zhang Wuji's childhood, there is still room for more content to be released later. A living Zhang Wuji is much more useful than a dead one.

As for whether Zhang Wuji, who has mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill, will become a threat? That will be a matter for at least a few years from now.

If Gu Hanyuan still can't crush Zhang Wuji after a few years, then he doesn't need to be a villain anymore; he should just stay in Wudang and retire peacefully.

On the contrary, I worry that Zhang Wuji's strength will be too weak at that time, and he will be able to take down fewer villains.

Among all the main characters, Zhang Wuji is arguably the least threatening.

Although the timeline is moved forward a bit, there are actually still several years to go.

However, Gu Hanyuan decided to keep Yin Susu in suspense for a while.

"Madam, your bargaining chips are not enough. The Xuanming Divine Palm's cold poison is quite troublesome."

Yin Susu suddenly snuggled into Gu Hanyuan's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, gazed into his indifferent eyes, and lightly touched her lips.

"What about adding me?"

Gu Hanyuan was also taken aback by Yin Susu's boldness.

It's highly likely that he had a conflict with Zhang Cuishan.

"Is this payment due to you, Madam, or should I pay?"

Gu Hanyuan looked at the light in Yin Susu's eyes and teased her with a wicked smile.

Unexpectedly, just one sentence caused tears to stream down Yin Susu's face.

"I've already gone this far... and you still... never mind, just pretend I never said anything about tonight."

Yin Susu took out the plain white handkerchief that Gu Hanyuan had given her, wiped away her tears, and turned to leave after letting go of him.

Gu Hanyuan looked at the handkerchief in her hand and remained silent for a moment.

Just as Yin Susu was about to open the door, he grabbed her and hugged her from behind.

He whispered in her ear:

"I've agreed to Zhang Wuji's request. Tonight is a clearance sale, everything is free."

Gu Hanyuan sighed inwardly: Yin Susu's villainous reputation is going to drop; the韭菜 (a metaphor for easily exploited people) really can't be harvested easily.

However, since we've decided to let her establish an intelligence organization, we still need to appease her properly.

Gu Hanyuan picked Yin Susu up in his arms.

The candlelight in the room was quickly extinguished.

. . . . . .

The next day

When Yin Susu opened her eyes, she saw Gu Hanyuan smiling and playing with her hair.

After a moment of stunned silence, she closed her eyes and buried her head in his arms again.

"Now that you're awake, get up quickly. Although no one has come looking for you yet, who knows what might happen in the future."

Gu Hanyuan had already arranged for puppet dolls to keep watch outside to prevent any accidents.

After hearing this, Yin Susu slowly got up and silently dressed.

Just by looking at her rosy complexion and sparkling eyes, you could tell that last night was a satisfying one.

This was the first time she had ever been treated gently by Gu Hanyuan.

She has called him "husband" when she was infatuated.

At this moment, she reverted to being Madam Zhang and a young third-generation disciple of Wudang.

It's like a long dream; there will always be a time to wake up.

They can't stand the light of day, after all.

After Yin Susu finished dressing and tidied up the mess, she looked at the man in front of her and found him to be even more handsome than before.

Their relationship has evolved from one of threat and being threatened to the one it is now. It's been full of unexpected twists and turns, but at least she doesn't regret last night.

"I am leaving."

"Well, be careful on the road."

"it is good."

“I will talk to Grandmaster and go with him and Junior Brother Wuji.”

"I believe you."

After a moment of silence, Yin Susu left the room.

Gu Hanyuan sighed.

Isn't the process of dealing with Yin Susu a bit too fast?

The system's rating dropped rapidly as expected. Grade A, 1000 villain points.

Fortunately, such an intelligence organization is more trustworthy.

The people or forces that need special attention were all explained to Yin Susu last night.

Afterwards, Gu Hanyuan found Zhang Sanfeng and proposed to go out of the mountains together for training.

The reasons are readily available: Northern Shaolin owes him a favor, which is a good excuse to borrow "Shaolin Nine Yang Skill".

Although, based on Gu Hanyuan's speculation, the old monk Kong Wen would most likely refuse.

Zhang Sanfeng was already somewhat worried about his trip to the Northern Shaolin Temple, given the previous unpleasantness between the two factions.

At this moment, Gu Hanyuan's suggestion to travel together was exactly what he wanted, so naturally he had no reason to refuse. In addition, he could also give his highly regarded grand-disciple a good lesson on the way.

Chapter 19: First Steps into the Martial World, Rescuing Zhou Zhiruo

Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu each pulled Zhang Wuji aside and gave him many instructions.

Gu Hanyuan and Zhang Wuji simply exchanged a casual greeting, which was enough to acknowledge their acquaintance.

Zhang Wuji was quite curious about this Senior Brother Gu, since his mother, Yin Susu, mentioned Gu Hanyuan the most.

However, there's plenty of time on the road, so there's no rush.

Gu Hanyuan planned to follow Zhang Wuji for the time being and finish harvesting his childhood story.

As for the puppet, we'll first go to Dali to locate it and get our hands on the Northern Darkness Divine Skill and the Lingbo Steps.

After Gu Hanyuan and the other two left, Zhang Cuishan also set off back to Icefire Island to check on Xie Xun's fate.

Yin Susu returned to the Sky Eagle Sect and helped Gu Hanyuan establish an intelligence organization.

The two didn't even exchange a single word from beginning to end.

Zhang Cuishan thought Yin Susu was just throwing a tantrum and didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

They can never go back to the way things were.

The three of them headed towards the Northern Shaolin Temple.

Gu Hanyuan even changed his clothes on the way, as it would be a bit awkward to wear a Taoist robe while traveling in the martial arts world.

She changed into a white robe and tied her hair into a ponytail with a ribbon.

His already handsome appearance was further enhanced by his dashing demeanor, giving him the image of a refined gentleman.
