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

Qu Feiyan felt a surge of admiration, thinking that this was how a true man should be, worthy of being called "Heroic Sword".

"As expected, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Master Gu is a true hero."

While probing with his words, Tian Boguang moved cautiously, thinking that as long as he could get out of the door, it would be easy for him to escape with his lightness skill.

Gu Hanyuan ignored Tian Boguang's words, but stared at him with increasingly cold and sharp eyes.

Time passed by, and Tian Boguang finally made it to the doorway. After taking another step, he was free to roam the world.

Even though Tian Boguang had been very careful, he couldn't help but relax a little at this moment.

Gu Hanyuan knew at a glance that this was a golden opportunity, and with eyes like lightning, he used the "Soul Transfer Technique" for the first time since he learned it...

There's no need to control Tian Boguang; just a slight daze in his expression would be enough for Gu Hanyuan to kill him.

Sure enough, when Tian Boguang was momentarily dazed by the "Soul Transfer Technique," everyone saw a dazzling white light flash by.

A gleaming longsword pierced Tian Boguang's forehead, leaving only the hilt stuck in his forehead.

It was Gu Hanyuan's sword, the Hero Sword.

The Hero's Sword, with its sharpness, severed Tian Boguang's life the moment it pierced his forehead, unable to even take Yue Lingshan down with him.

Yue Lingshan didn't realize what had happened until she was rescued, and she stared blankly as Gu Hanyuan helped her up.

He returned to that gentle smile, now with an added air of relief as if he had let go of his worries.

"Miss Yue, are you alright?"

Yue Lingshan was speechless for a moment, as if something was stuck in her throat.

The calm in the room was soon broken, and the people in Huiyan Tower did not realize what had happened until Tian Boguang fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Hanyuan threw out the Hero Sword, even using the sword intent of the "Holy Spirit Sword Technique".

Of course, the people in the room couldn't feel it either.

"Was that when you threw the Hero's Sword?"

"Yes, they threw out the divine weapon without hesitation."

"As expected of the 'Hero's Sword,' he truly is a young hero."

"Do you think Gu Hanyuan really likes Yue Lingshan? He's even willing to throw away divine weapons."

Various onlookers discussed the matter extensively.

It wasn't until the last person spoke that Yue Lingshan snapped out of her daze. Her face flushed, she shyly thanked them.

"Brother Gu, thank you."

Without realizing it, she started calling him "Brother Gu".

"It's good that Miss Yue is alright."

Gu Hanyuan smiled gently before reaching out to pull the Hero's Sword, which was still stuck in Tian Boguang's forehead.

With a flick of his wrist, he shook off the remaining blood droplets and returned the sword to its sheath.

Linghu Chong was frustrated by his incompetence in not being able to rescue Yue Lingshan from Tian Boguang, and he also regretted his previous words and actions.

But now, seeing Yue Lingshan blushing and looking shy, he was overcome with jealousy and, without thinking, went up to her and pretended to be concerned:

"Junior Sister, are you alright? Were you hurt?"

Ling Shan, recalling Linghu Chong's previous embarrassing behavior, rolled her eyes cutely and casually replied:

"How could Brother Gu possibly let me get hurt?"

After saying that, she turned her head away, not wanting to look at him, and then said to Gu Hanyuan in a sweet voice:

“Brother Gu, Huiyan Tower is in a mess right now. Why don’t we head straight to Hengshan Sect?”

"Alright."

Seeing that the story was over, Gu Hanyuan didn't bother wasting any more time.

The four of them left together.

Qu Feiyan watched Gu Hanyuan and the others leave, her interest growing. Unfortunately, with all the major sects gathered in Hengyang City, she couldn't find a reason to strike up a conversation with her grandfather, Qu Yang.

"Brother Gu, why did you think of throwing the Hero's Sword? Shouldn't a swordsman's life be one of sword and life, with the sword or the sword both dying together?"

After Yue Lingshan realized what was going on, she found Gu Hanyuan's actions unbelievable.

"I have never considered myself a swordsman. Nor have I ever thought that I would die with my sword. Besides, the Hero's Sword is just a sword, how can it compare to the safety of Miss Yue? If I cannot protect the person I want to protect, what use is this martial arts skill?"

Gu Hanyuan indeed thought so. Weapons and martial arts were just tools for him, and besides, they could be exchanged with villain points. The mere Hero Sword was no match for Yue Lingshan in any aspect.

Yue Lingshan was deeply moved after hearing this. Countless people had fought tooth and nail, even losing their families, for a divine weapon, yet Gu Hanyuan valued her above all else.

And she was the one he wanted to protect.

Just thinking about it makes my face flush and my heart race.

At first, Linghu Chong thought Gu Hanyuan was just saying nice things, but when he realized that Gu Hanyuan had actually done it, he realized that even though he was also very carefree with swords, he couldn't be as nonchalant about divine weapons as Gu Hanyuan was.

Yilin remained silent. She was a quiet and gentle person, and only hoped to catch a few more glances. Of course, she also greatly admired Gu Hanyuan's thoughts.

The group chatted for a while and soon arrived at the Liu residence.

Although Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony has not yet started, many people have already arrived early.

They were being entertained in the outer courtyard at that moment.

The guests in the outer courtyard were buzzing with discussion after seeing Gu Hanyuan, clearly indicating that news of the Huiyan Tower incident had already reached the Liu residence.

Many people even stood up and bowed to Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan returned the greetings one by one, maintaining a perfect image.

When Liu Zhengfeng learned that Gu Hanyuan had arrived, he also warmly invited him in and even arranged a private room for him.

Generally, only sect leaders with sufficient standing in the martial arts world are assigned to the side rooms.

However, Gu Hanyuan is not only a grandmaster at a young age, but also a disciple of the Wudang Sect, so no one would object to arranging him to stay in the private room.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I heard a joyful sound as clear and melodious as a nightingale singing in a valley.

"Brother Gu!"

Then, Guo Fu, dressed in red, ran towards Gu Hanyuan.

Guo Fu was initially quite reserved because of some of Huang Rong's words.

But upon seeing Yue Lingshan beside Gu Hanyuan, she became jealous, pouted, and threw herself into his arms.

As for Yilin, a nun, she didn't even consider her a threat.

Gu Hanyuan quickly caught her.

"Fu-mei, what are you doing here?"

In fact, Gu Hanyuan had already known through his divine sense that Guo Fu had arrived, and Huang Rong was also there.

At this moment, Huang Rong was watching them from afar, a faint smile on her face.

But in her heart she thought: Sure enough, someone as outstanding as Gu Hanyuan is bound to attract attention. It might not be a good thing if Fu'er falls for him.

"Hehe, Brother Gu, my mother and I are here. I heard about what happened at Huiyan Tower. You did a great job killing that flower thief Tian Boguang."

Guo Fu wrapped her arms around Gu Hanyuan's waist naturally, feeling the firm muscles around his waist, her face slightly flushed.

As expected, Yue Lingshan's face was full of displeasure. Although she could tell from their conversation that the two were old acquaintances, she didn't care about who came first or last.

"Brother Gu, won't you introduce this young lady to me?"

Gu Hanyuan introduced the two women to each other, and also introduced Linghu Chong and Yilin to Guo Fu.

After exchanging an awkward greeting with Yilin, Linghu Chong and Yilin stood aside as if they were invisible.

The atmosphere between the two women was so intense that it was impossible for anyone to intervene.

"Are you Guo Fu? I heard you have a big reputation in Xiangyang City. You're known for being willful and capricious, and you often bully others by taking advantage of your power."

"Nonsense! My father is the renowned Guo Jing, how could he possibly allow me to bully others? I've heard that the Yue family's daughter is often mischievous and has caused trouble at Mount Hua."

"You're talking nonsense. My senior brothers all treat me very well and say I'm the life of the party. How could I be considered naughty?"

The two women started arguing.

Although Linghu Chong felt a little bitter about Yue Lingshan's jealousy over Gu Hanyuan, he didn't dare to advise her in this state.

Gu Hanyuan looked helpless as the two women bickered.

Fortunately, Huang Rong was already close by and was looking at Gu Hanyuan with a smile.

"Madam Guo, it's been a long time. You're as charming as ever."

Looking at the beautiful and charming Huang Rong, Gu Hanyuan praised her with a smile.

Huang Rong remained unmoved and instead asked:

"What do you mean by 'long time'? It's only been less than ten days."
