Gu Han Yuan tossed the Mang Gu Zhu, along with the corroded Fu Rong Golden Needle, into his storage space.
The Lightning Weasel, noticing the Mang Gu Zhu's sudden disappearance, curiously crawled around Gu Han Yuan, seemingly trying to find it.
Gu Han Yuan caught it, flipping it onto its back, with all four paws facing the sky.
The Lightning Weasel suddenly twitched excitedly, squeaking loudly.
"Are you shy? You are a 'girl' after all."
Gu Han Yuan said with a smile.
He felt the Lightning Weasel was surprisingly intelligent.
In a Xianxia world, it would almost certainly be able to transform into a human form.
After Gu Han Yuan released the Lightning Weasel, it threw a tantrum.
It lay on Gu Han Yuan's shoulder, twisting its head, looking like it didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Eventually, Gu Han Yuan used the poisonous centipede that was initially nailed to the ground to appease the Lightning Weasel.
It kept chirping in his ear, chattering about something.
It was probably telling him not to hog the Mang Gu Zhu.
Gu Han Yuan lifted the still unconscious Duan Yu and returned to the top of the cliff, following the original path.
He used his divine sense to locate Mu Wan Qing on the way back.
As expected, she was by the pond near where the Black Rose was resting.
When Gu Han Yuan had treated the Black Rose, he had planned this out, intentionally choosing a place near a pond.
Sure enough, Mu Wan Qing had gone there to bathe.
She had been injured in the fight, her body covered in blood and dust.
Martial artists can endure these conditions if necessary, but if there's an option, what woman doesn't like to be clean?
Zhong Ling also intended to bathe, but she was behind Mu Wan Qing.
Mu Wan Qing hadn't considered the possibility of Gu Han Yuan returning and catching her, so she decided to bathe first.
She just didn't expect Gu Han Yuan to bring Duan Yu back so quickly.
Gu Han Yuan brought the unconscious Duan Yu to the pond where Mu Wan Qing was.
He saw Mu Wan Qing carefully cleaning herself.
She heard the sound of breaking air, and before she could hide, she heard Gu Han Yuan's teasing voice.
"Mu Shijie, I brought Duan Yu back. No need to thank me too much."
Mu Wan Qing screamed and ducked into the water.
She looked at Gu Han Yuan, who was carrying the unconscious Duan Yu, filled with anger.
"Shameless!"
"I brought your sweetheart back, and you still scold me? Good people really don't get any thanks."
Gu Han Yuan took Duan Yu directly to Zhong Ling.
His goal was achieved, so there was no need to stay and be annoying.
He wondered whether in Mu Wan Qing's heart, the first person to see her appearance was more important, or the first person to see all of her.
Mu Wan Qing had never felt so sad, her tears wouldn't stop.
She wanted to present her most beautiful self to Duan Yu, but she was first harassed and then seen.
She couldn't make a fuss about it in front of Duan Yu, so she could only endure it.
Of course, if she encountered Gu Han Yuan alone, she would definitely try to take his life.
When Mu Wan Qing calmed down, she saw that Duan Yu had already woken up and was chatting with Gu Han Yuan and Zhong Ling.
"Wu Tian Xian Sheng, thank you for saving me twice."
Duan Yu was an upright and well-educated man. He was very respectful to Gu Han Yuan, his savior.
Although Gu Han Yuan wore a mysterious mask, seeming cold and terrifying, he felt that the man was actually cold on the outside and warm on the inside.
Duan Yu originally wanted to call Gu Han Yuan "Wu Tian Dage," but he was refused.
He finally chose the title "Wu Tian Xian Sheng."
"Considering me as your savior is not a good idea."
Gu Han Yuan glanced at Duan Yu with a hint of meaning.
Duan Yu was confused.
"Duan Lang!"
Mu Wan Qing's voice was intimate, but her emotions were overly agitated. In fact, she just wanted to cry out all her grievances.
Duan Yu didn't notice Mu Wan Qing's thoughts, thinking that she was just emotionally agitated because she was worried about his safety.
Zhong Ling looked at Gu Han Yuan, subconsciously feeling that he might have done something.
Suddenly, four people jumped out and called out "Shizi" to Duan Yu.
It turned out to be the four great ministers of the Dali Royal Family, "Yu Qiao Geng Du," who were ordered to bring Duan Yu back to the Zhen Nan Wang Fu.
They also expressed their gratitude to Gu Han Yuan for rescuing Duan Yu and invited him to the Zhen Nan Wang Fu, but he declined.
"Ling'er, I'll send you back to Wan Jie Gu as well."
Gu Han Yuan had already planned for what would happen later and didn't intend to keep Zhong Ling with him.
Although Zhong Ling was reluctant, she had been away from home for days and it was time to report back to her parents.
Thus, everyone parted ways.
Just as she was leaving, Mu Wan Qing, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, glared hatefully at Gu Han Yuan's back.
Gu Han Yuan took Zhong Ling to Wan Jie Gu.
"Gu Gege, you must think of me after you leave."
As they approached their separation, Zhong Ling became even more reluctant.
"Ling'er, be good and stay at home, we'll see each other soon."
Gu Han Yuan casually comforted Zhong Ling a few words and then went to the Zhen Nan Wang Fu.
He checked the system's evaluation along the way.
A Villain Evaluation, 1800 Villain Points.
This should be for taking the Mang Gu Zhu from Duan Yu.
After all, without the Mang Gu Zhu, Duan Yu would lose his immunity to all poisons.
However, because he had eaten the Mang Gu Zhu, his blood became poisonous.
It's unclear whether it was a loss or a gain.
Therefore, the evaluation wasn't very high.
Then, he opened Mu Wan Qing's villain evaluation series.
Accidental Harassment, S-class evaluation, 2000 Villain Points.
Peeking at Bathing, S-class evaluation, 2500 Villain Points.
Current series evaluation is S-class, total 4500 Villain Points, not yet redeemable.
It was less than expected.
Although Mu Wan Qing was resentful, her feelings for Duan Yu hadn't wavered.
If she never saw Gu Han Yuan again, the thread of fate would be almost unaffected.
Gu Han Yuan spent 4000 Villain Points to upgrade "Sacred Spirit Sword Art" to Minor Mastery, allowing him to use "Sword Nineteen" to "Sword Twenty-Two," all of which are considered sword-energy attacks.
Finally, he had a stronger long-range attack.
Coincidentally, the "Six Veins Divine Sword" from the Tian Long Temple, although seemingly a finger technique, is actually, as its name suggests, a sword-energy attack.
In terms of realm, it is far superior to most martial arts in this world, already belonging to the Middle Martial level.
He will compare his skills against the famous "Six Veins Divine Sword" later.
Mu Wan Qing, who had followed Duan Yu to the Zhen Nan Wang Fu, was supposed to have a close encounter with Duan Yu.
However, suddenly thinking of what Gu Han Yuan had done to her, she felt a little guilty and kept a distance from Duan Yu.
Gu Han Yuan lurked in the Zhen Nan Wang Fu, waiting for a few hours.
At night, Duan Zheng Chun's "认女" farce unfolded, leaving Mu Wan Qing heartbroken, feeling that fate was unfair.
Qin Hong Mian arrived to take Mu Wan Qing, which led to the appearance of Gan Bao Bao and Dao Bai Feng.
Then, he watched a play of the sea king Duan Zheng Chun and his lovers.
Although he was surrounded by women, he wasn't responsible and didn't handle the relationships between these women well.
The women were jealous and envious, giving Duan Zheng Chun a headache.
