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

They couldn't catch up with it in a short time.

They finally found Zhong Ling by the Canglan River at dawn.

Gu Hanyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhong Ling.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhong Ling, this lovely girl, had taken up quite a place in Gu Hanyuan's heart.

Although they won't hold back when causing trouble, they can't help but feel worried afterwards.

I was worried that something might have happened to her while I was searching for her.

And they even ran so far out in one go, just thinking about it makes me furious.

Zhong Ling was sitting on a huge rock by the river; it was unclear how she had climbed up there.

At this moment, she hugged her knees with both hands, holding small pebbles she had picked up from somewhere in her palms, and occasionally throwing one into the river.

With each stone he threw, he muttered something under his breath.

"Bastard, villain, big villain..."

The little face, which should have been innocent and carefree, was now filled with grievance.

Gu Hanyuan sighed inwardly.

Just like when they first met, he landed silently beside Zhong Ling and gently stroked her hair.

"Why did you run so far?"

Zhong Ling seemed to have known all along that Gu Hanyuan would come looking for her, and didn't show the slightest surprise.

He simply threw all the pebbles in his hand into the river, buried his face in his arms, and spoke in a muffled voice.

"Why did you come here? Aren't you going to be with your woman?"

"Women? Just playthings."

Gu Hanyuan chuckled softly.

"A plaything? Am I your plaything too?"

Zhong Ling raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

Gu Hanyuan reached out and gently stroked her smooth face.

"You are different."

Zhong Ling did not resist.

"What's the difference?"

"I like you."

Gu Hanyuan didn't continue to pull the ball away, and instead played a straight shot.

Zhong Ling's face instantly turned red, and she stammered:

"Really?"

"real."

"Ling'er likes you too."

Zhong Ling bravely gazed into the deep eyes revealed through the mask.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"will not."

Even if they continue to do bad things in the future?

"Don't be afraid. You're a big bad guy anyway."

Even if it's something you can't accept?

"Ling'er will try her best to accept it."

"Then what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you won't want Ling'er anymore."

Seeing Zhong Ling's expression, as if she would burst into tears at the slightest hint from Gu Hanyuan, he let out a long sigh.

He reached out and removed the mask.

"My surname is Gu, and my name is Gu Hanyuan. I'm a bad person."

Zhong Ling stared blankly at Gu Hanyuan, who had revealed his face.

His handsome face was full of gentle smiles.

A rare tenderness shone in his eyes.

"Ling'er seems to have made a profit..."

Zhong Ling seemed completely unable to look away, murmuring softly to herself.

Gu Hanyuan looked at Zhong Ling, who had a blank expression, with amusement, and gently stroked her lower lip, which she had bitten herself.

"Why did you bite your lip and draw blood?"

"Hmm, really? I don't remember."

"Let me disinfect it for you, Ling'er."

"What is disinfection? Ling'er isn't poisoned."

"That's it."

Gu Hanyuan lowered his head, and their figures began to overlap.

It was sunrise at that moment.

The orange-red sun peeked out from the river.

The soft morning sunlight shone on the two of them.

It's as beautiful as a painting.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Ling finally pushed Gu Hanyuan away and leaned against him, panting softly.

"Does your lip still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

Zhong Ling shook her head.

Strands of hair brushed against Gu Hanyuan's chest, making him feel a little itchy.

"Ling'er, can I call you Brother Gu from now on?"

"It's okay when there are no outsiders around."

Although it doesn't really matter if Gu Hanyuan is called that now, his two identities will be very famous in the future, so it's best to avoid giving people any associations.

"Why doesn't Brother Gu want people to know your identity?"

Zhong Ling had been curious for a long time, but she hadn't dared to ask before.

"I am a disciple of Wudang."

Now that Zhong Ling knows his name and appearance, there's no point in hiding his identity as a Wudang disciple.

"what."

Zhong Ling gasped in surprise, her mouth slightly agape. She hadn't expected to receive such an answer.

However, I quickly realized what was going on.

Despite being a Wudang disciple, he did bad things; no wonder he had to hide his identity.

Zhong Ling felt a sweet warmth in her heart because of Gu Hanyuan's frankness, and felt that his identity was not important at all.

"So, Brother Gu, is there anything you need to do right now?"

"Go find Duan Yu."

"Looking for Brother Duan? Why?"

"Ok?"

Gu Hanyuan stared into Zhong Ling's eyes without saying a word, just watching her.

Although Zhong Ling didn't know why, she inexplicably felt a little guilty.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into my mind.

"Oh, wait, Brother Gu, is there something you need from Duan Yu?"

Zhong Ling chuckled to herself, thinking that Gu Hanyuan could be really cute at times.

"It's complicated to explain, but basically we need to plot something against him."

Gu Hanyuan was unaware of Zhong Ling's thoughts; otherwise, he would have definitely "cherished" her properly.

Zhong Ling didn't mind, thinking that if Gu Hanyuan was willing to talk, she was willing to listen.

If you don't want to talk about it, then just obediently follow him.
