Gu Hanyuan's words were obviously pure nonsense, but they also made a lot of sense, and they could easily fool Yang Guo, who was unaware of the truth.

Chapter 65: Only the sun and the human heart cannot be looked at directly.

Yang Guo's eyes flashed with a sharp light after hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, clearly indicating that he agreed with Gu Hanyuan's statement.

"Brother Gu, can you tell me about the Yang family generals and Yang Zaixing?"

Gu Hanyuan first said that the Yang family had been a military family for generations, and had always been the main force in resisting the Liao and Jin dynasties. However, after Zhao Gou came to power, he sought peace at all costs, and his decisions caused heavy losses to the Yang family.

Now only a group of widowed women remain, yet they still fight on the battlefield.

Then he recounted Yang Zaixing's heroic deeds. For example, Yang Zaixing wielded a golden spear, possessed superb martial arts skills, and became sworn brothers with Yue Fei.

He followed Yue Fei in resisting the Jin dynasty and once attempted to capture Jin Wuzhu by charging into the enemy lines alone. Even after failing, he was still able to return alone.

Then he followed Yue Fei and made numerous military achievements, recovering lost territory.

Finally, Yue Fei suffered a great injustice, and Yang Zaixing, Yue Yun, and Zhang Xian were all unjustly killed by Zhao Gou.

"You dog emperor!"

Yang Guo's mood went from excitement to depression and then to resentment.

Clearly, he was already quite dissatisfied with Zhao Gou when he heard the story of the Yang family generals, and his dissatisfaction with Zhao Gou reached its peak after learning about the deeds of Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing.

"Now, Brother Yang, do you know why Master Guo didn't dare tell you the truth? He was doing it for your own good."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes held a deeper meaning. If Yang Guo were to use this as an excuse to assassinate Zhao Gou, that would be interesting. In that case, Guo Jing would definitely go to save him.

Given Zhao Gou's suspicious nature, and especially considering Guo Jing's great reputation, if he were to actually go to rescue someone, he would most likely be executed if captured.

At that time... hehe.

I will take care of your wife and daughters, so you have nothing to worry about.

"Of course I know Uncle Guo is doing this for my own good. Brother Gu, do you think I should pursue the truth?"

"Why not? If you don't know where you came from, how can you know where you're going?"

Yang Guo felt that Gu Hanyuan's words made sense, but he was still hesitant.

"Brother Gu, I know I should pursue the truth, but I'm afraid my aunt won't allow me to leave the ancient tomb, will she?"

"So, Brother Yang, you don't plan to find out who your father is? You can't stay in the ancient tomb forever, can you? If your father was really close to Yang Zaixing and was also wrongfully killed like him, don't you want to avenge him or clear his name?"

Gu Hanyuan continued to urge Yang Guo on.

"Brother Gu, thank you. I will try to persuade Aunt."

Yang Guo became more determined to pursue the truth, and even prepared to leave without saying goodbye if Xiaolongnu disagreed.

At this moment, Li Mochou had already led Hong Lingbo to pay respects to her master in the ancient tomb.

And after this incident, he reconciled with Xiaolongnu.

After chatting for a while, Li Mochou suddenly asked:

"Junior sister, tell me honestly, do you like that boy Yang Guo?"

Clearly, Li Mochou still suspected that Xiaolongnu was planning to practice the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" with Yang Guo, since there had never been a male disciple in the Ancient Tomb before, and Yang Guo was a complete first-timer.

“I never had such a thought. Taking Guo’er into the ancient tomb was something Granny Sun instructed me to take care of before she passed away.”

When Xiaolongnu saw that Li Mochou still suspected there was something between her and Yang Guo, she unusually showed some dissatisfaction.

Li Mochou looked at Xiaolongnu, who was showing some subtle expressions, with amusement, thinking that her junior sister wasn't so detached from worldly affairs after all.

However, after hearing Xiaolongnu's serious denial, Li Mochou stared into her eyes and asked another question.

"Then... what about Gu Hanyuan?"

Seeing a hint of wavering in Xiaolongnu's eyes upon hearing Gu Hanyuan's name, Li Mochou sighed inwardly.

After all, he's quite unique.

Even if I'm gradually forgetting about Lu Zhanyuan, haven't I?

After hesitating for a moment, Xiaolongnu still told the truth:

"I do not know."

His gaze seemed to pierce through the stone walls of the ancient tomb, looking at the person outside.

"I don't know what liking someone is. I just feel like he's like the sun, shining brightly, warm yet scorching, and I can't help but want to look at him. At first, I just felt guilty for accidentally hurting him, but I don't know when I started to care about him, even though we've only known each other for less than a day."

Little Dragon Girl was unaware of the saying: "Only the sun and the human heart should not be looked at directly."

The more you look at the sun, the closer you get to blindness, and eventually you will sink into darkness.

Li Mochou was also unaware of this statement.

At this moment, she nodded in agreement. Even someone as cold-hearted as her was warmed by it.

Li Mochou lowered her eyes and said softly:

"Junior sister, I think I've fallen for him. The hatred in my heart has faded a lot because of him, and I suddenly feel some regret for what I've done over the years."

Xiaolongnu looked at Li Mochou with some shock.

"Senior sister, are you serious?"

“Yes, I want to try again, I want to believe that he is different from Lu Zhanyuan.”

Li Mochou stared intently into Xiaolongnu's eyes.

Xiaolongnu felt a little uncomfortable under Li Mochou's gaze, so she looked away and suppressed the thoughts that were rising in her mind.

"Is...is that so? Senior sister, I wish you happiness."

Looking at Xiaolongnu, whose profile was as beautiful as Chang'e in the Heavenly Palace, Li Mochou felt a little guilty. She had only just reconciled with her and she was already plotting against her.

"After all, I don't have much confidence in competing with you, my junior sister."

Li Mochou thought to herself, "2!0."

Hong Lingbo, who was barely noticed, covered her mouth, hoping that they wouldn't pay attention to her.

If someone were to discover that they were observing such a fierce power struggle, they would be silenced. (570)

Looking at her master and uncle, who resembled two fairies, Hong Lingbo felt only inferiority.

"Only Master and Uncle-Master are worthy of someone as outstanding as Gu Hanyuan, right? Perhaps he has already forgotten me."

Hong Lingbo silently contemplated the harsh reality.

Of course, Gu Hanyuan would only want to say to them: There's no need to fight anymore, you are all my wings.

Afterwards, the three women left the ancient tomb and met Gu Hanyuan, who was having a pleasant conversation with Yang Guo.

He still had a bright, sunny, and gentle smile on his face.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, it appeared somewhat hazy and dreamlike.

The three women blushed slightly at the same time.

Gu Hanyuan had already noticed them, but even he couldn't figure out why they were all suddenly blushing and acting shy.

Everyone spent dinner in a harmonious atmosphere.

Gu Hanyuan slept in the thatched hut outside at night, while the other four people moved into the ancient tomb.

As Gu Hanyuan had predicted, Yang Guo asked Xiaolongnu to let him leave the ancient tomb.

Although Xiaolongnu had already considered letting him go, she felt that Yang Guo was still too young and that it would be more reassuring for him to train in martial arts for another two years before going out.

So in the end, his request was rejected.

In the dead of night, Gu Hanyuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep and dark, as if it were deeper and darker than the night itself.

"He really left. Ha."

Chapter 66: The Ancient Tomb's Rule of "Willing to Die for Oneself"

Gu Hanyuan tallied up the day's gains.

The Little Dragon Girl series of evaluations includes her various actions: feigning fainting to gain an advantage, altering Zhen Zhibing's storyline, killing Zhen Zhibing, seeking justice at Chongyang Palace, rescuing Little Dragon Girl from the Big Dipper Formation, slapping her, facilitating reconciliation with Li Mochou, tricking Yang Guo into leaving the Ancient Tomb, and preventing Little Dragon Girl and Yang Guo from cultivating the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra." A total of 23400 villain points are awarded. (I won't go into details, it's too much.)

Although Li Mochou didn't receive a series of evaluations, she still earned a significant number of villain points. These included being saved twice, receiving a slap in return, a sudden act of understanding that dissolved her hatred for her master, and diminished Lu Zhanyuan's influence. This totals 15100 villain points.

The reputation points gained were mainly from the Quanzhen Sect. Although they were relatively weak, they had been famous for many years and still had a great influence. From defeating Qiu Chuji to defeating the Six Masters of Quanzhen, and then breaking the Big Dipper Formation, a total of 5600 villain points were obtained.

He also won Hong Lingbo's approval, receiving an A-level rating and 1800 villain points.

He incurred Yang Guo's hatred towards Zhao Gou, earning an S-level rating and 3800 villain points.

Gu Hanyuan suddenly gained a lot of weight. He also drew several conclusions.

Although winning over the female lead is troublesome, the overall villain points you gain will be very high.

While threats may be effective quickly, they are mostly a one-off deal and can easily trigger Stockholm syndrome, causing people to lose patience and resist for a long time.

Surprisingly, the evaluation of Yang Guo's hatred towards Zhao Gou was unexpectedly high, indicating that Yang Guo harbored considerable resentment towards Zhao Gou, leaving room for further maneuvering.

At the same time, divine sense positioning was also applied to Xiaolongnu, Li Mochou, and Hong Lingbo.
