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

The Sun Moon Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect have been enemies for many years, so it's not surprising that Huang Rong would have such thoughts.

Gu Hanyuan laughed disdainfully:

"Ha, all those so-called nursery rhymes are man-made. If Liu Zhengfeng retires from the martial arts world, the Five Mountains Sword Sect's strength will inevitably weaken. Is that a good thing or a bad thing for the Sun Moon Sect?"

"That's certainly a good thing. You mean?"

With Huang Rong's intelligence, she immediately realized after hearing Gu Hanyuan's suggestion that Liu Zhengfeng's retirement from the martial arts world would have the greatest impact on the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Furthermore, the Five Mountains Sword Sects are led by the Songshan Sect, so Zuo Lengchan would certainly not allow Liu Zhengfeng to retire from the martial arts world.

"Madam is indeed wise; it is exactly the possibility you were thinking of."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes showed admiration.

Huang Rong felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

"There has been no news of the Songshan Sect coming to Hengyang City yet. If they come again tomorrow, it's likely they have ill intentions."

"Zuo Lengchan has always wanted to unite the Five Mountains Sects and become a top-tier sect. After all, being neighbors with the Southern Shaolin Temple in the same Songshan Mountain brings considerable pressure."

Gu Hanyuan could understand Zuo Lengchan's thoughts, but he thought they were too naive.

The Southern Shaolin Temple will not allow Zuo Lengchan to merge the Five Mountains Alliance.

Just like in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," Fang Zheng taught Linghu Chong the sect's signature martial art, the "Yi Jin Jing," in order to pit the Huashan Sect against the Songshan Sect.

A balance is the best outcome for them.

Linghu Chong was chosen because Fang Zheng saw his indifference to worldly affairs.

So the final result was that the Five Mountains Alliance failed to merge, the Sun Moon Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect suffered heavy losses, and Linghu Chong went into seclusion.

Shaolin remains the undisputed leader in the martial arts world.

Huang Rong also disliked the monks of the Southern Shaolin Temple.

The Southern Shaolin Temple was the most powerful sect in the martial arts world during the Song Dynasty.

She and Guo Jingyi defended Xiangyang, and they did ask the Southern Shaolin Temple for help, but they were always turned down with excuses.

They act as if they are closing their mountains and temples and not participating in national struggles.

Yet, he was constantly making moves in the martial arts world.

Should we stop the Songshan Sect tomorrow?

Huang Rong frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Apart from the Hengshan Sect, which provided some medicine for injuries, none of the other Five Mountains Sword Sects offered any assistance to Xiangyang City.

Helping Liu Zhengfeng might be a way to curry favor with the Hengshan Sect, but if he truly retires from the martial arts world, then he will have nothing to do with the affairs of the martial arts world anymore, and he will no longer be a member of the Hengshan Sect.

Is it really worth making enemies of the Songshan Sect just for the sake of Liu Zhengfeng?

Huang Rong truly devoted herself to Xiangyang City, and almost every word and action she took was aimed at providing more assistance to the city.

This also has to do with the fact that she has always been relatively lenient with Gu Hanyuan.

It wasn't just his potential that was valued, but more importantly, his status as a disciple of the Wudang School.

Moreover, given Gu Hanyuan's talent, there is a high probability that he will take over the Wudang Sect in the future.

Otherwise, how could she have remained acquiescing about the relationship between Guo Fu and Gu Hanyuan, even when she saw him surrounded by several women?

"If the Songshan Sect is simply targeting Liu Zhengfeng, then we don't need to pay any attention to it; we have no right to interfere. However, given Zuo Lengchan's ruthless methods, it's hard to guarantee that he won't target Liu Zhengfeng's family."

Gu Hanyuan pretended to be very worried.

"If the Songshan Sect really targets Liu Zhengfeng's family, will you intervene?"

Huang Rong looked at Gu Hanyuan with some surprise.

Although Gu Hanyuan's deeds have always been characterized by righteousness and integrity, and even in this respect, he has the demeanor of Guo Jing in his youth.

But it's a completely different story from the Songshan Party.

The Songshan Sect is not like the Quanzhen Sect, which has nothing to offer except a set of formations, and whose disciples are of varying quality.

The thirteen bodyguards of the Songshan Sect are all at least at the peak of the Innate Realm, and some of the stronger ones are even Grandmasters. If Zuo Lengchan can break through to the Grandmaster level, the sect can definitely become a top-tier sect.

If Zuo Lengchan hadn't reached a bottleneck in his cultivation after mastering the Frost True Qi and hadn't been unable to make any further progress, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to have the Five Mountains Alliance Sect become a top-tier sect.

"My stance on right and wrong is not important to me; what matters is that the justice in my heart is not tainted."

When Gu Hanyuan said this, his expression was serious and earnest, as if he would go even if there were thousands of people against him.

Huang Rong stared blankly at Gu Hanyuan, who seemed to glow in the moonlight.

Although Huang Rong was the daughter of Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, she was unconventional in her youth and was called a "demoness".

But in reality, she always held a sense of justice in her heart because she admired her mother, Feng Heng.

Otherwise, how could Guo Jing have possibly won Huang Rong's heart by simply treating her to meals and giving her a horse when she was disguised as a beggar?

It was because she was attracted by Guo Jing's righteous heart, even though he was dull-witted, and he did what he knew was impossible.

Feeling inexplicably flustered, Huang Rong, in an attempt to conceal her emotions, teased Gu Hanyuan, saying:

"I heard you were quite the ladies' man today, taking Fu'er to the Qunyu Courtyard and winning the favor of many women. Why didn't you accept their advances? Was it also for the sake of your sense of justice?"

Huang Rong's charming and affectionate eyes were full of smiles.

Gu Hanyuan looked at the mischievous Huang Rong with amusement.

He suddenly sat up straight again, looked at Huang Rong seriously, softened his tone, and made his voice more magnetic.

"How could ordinary beauties compare even a fraction of your madam's grace?"

Chapter 107: The Tenderness of That Kiss

Huang Rong felt a wave of heat wash over her, and the temperature on her face rose involuntarily.

This was almost like a direct approach, which even Huang Rong found a bit hard to handle.

She avoided eye contact and said softly:

"I'm no longer a little girl."

"Who said that? Madam and Fu'er look like sisters when they stand together."

That was indeed the truth from Gu Hanyuan. Although Huang Rong was no longer at the peak of her beauty, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

"They only know how to say nice things."

Huang Rong was, after all, a woman, and she was still happy to hear others talk about her younger days.

Gu Hanyuan pressed his advantage, saying:

"Madam looks so young, should I call her Sister Huang?"

"No, it makes me feel embarrassed."

Huang Rong's face was full of awkwardness, after all, she was more than a generation older than Gu Hanyuan.

"Madam is so beautiful, it would be more appropriate to call her Sister Huang."

"No matter how beautiful you are now, you will grow old and lose your beauty in a few years."

As she said this, Huang Rong sighed softly.

"Since ancient times, beauties and famous generals have not been allowed to grow old in this world. So I am determined to save my wife's youth."

Gu Hanyuan's expression was somewhat puzzling.

Huang Rong didn't quite understand what Gu Hanyuan meant.

"Would you like to try some, madam?"

Gu Hanyuan gestured to one of the wine jugs on the table. 590

Huang Rong was somewhat reluctant, afraid that she would get drunk again and cause trouble.

"Didn't you say there was only one pot of 'Searching for Plum Blossoms in the Snow'?"

“This teapot isn’t ‘Searching for Plum Blossoms in the Snow.’ It’s ‘Warm Jade Spring Cotton,’ made from spring flower buds. It has beauty and skin-nourishing effects. Although it can’t make you look young again, it can definitely slow down aging. I specially prepared this for Sister Huang.”

"Warm Jade Spring Cotton" was also obtained by Gu Hanyuan using 50 villain points.

He filled Huang Rong's cup to the brim.

Huang Rong's eyes lit up. No woman could be indifferent to appearance and age, but she still asked suspiciously:

"You're not kidding me, are you? I've never heard of any wine that can slow down aging."

"What's the point of trying to fool a lady with such nonsense? Besides, there are ways to stay young forever. I once saw a woman who was in her fifties or sixties, but still looked like she was in her early twenties, young and beautiful. I've also heard of a woman who mastered a technique and was over ninety years old, still looking like a young girl in her late twenties."

Gu Hanyuan was trying to awaken Huang Rong's desire for youth and to maintain her appearance.

Huang Rong asked with some curiosity:

"Appreciate further details."

"Madam, do you remember what I said about forcibly breaking through to the Grandmaster level causing damage to your meridians?"

After seeing Huang Rong nod, Gu Hanyuan continued:
