Chapter 35: Live Well Before You Kill Me (Please Collect, Please Give Flowers, Please Rate)
Compared to the stupid Qin Hongmian.
Gu Han Yuan unexpectedly found himself missing Yin Su Su.
Although she was also tricked by him, she still had some ability. It would be better to go and comfort her when he had time.
Mu Wan Qing didn't expect Gu Han Yuan's assessment of her mother to be so sharp. For a moment, she didn't know how to refute him.
Although she was also somewhat extreme in her personality, she was much smarter than Qin Hongmian.
But after all, that was her mother, so she didn't say much. She changed the subject and asked:
"What would you do if you were in her shoes?"
Mu Wan Qing had seen Zhong Ling fall deeply in love with Gu Han Yuan, yet he had taken advantage of her and spied on her. Even if he wasn't as irresponsible as Duan Zheng Chun, he wouldn't be someone who was wholeheartedly dedicated to her. That's why she had this question.
Gu Han Yuan gave a disdainful smile.
"Not all men are as incompetent as Duan Zheng Chun. A mere title, how difficult is it to give?"
Perhaps after experiencing her lover becoming her brother and learning about Qin Hongmian's situation, her originally extreme personality had softened. She also understood her mother's feelings.
After a moment of complex emotions, Mu Wan Qing stared at the mask on Gu Han Yuan's face and inexplicably said a sentence.
"Can you take off your mask and let me see?"
Gu Han Yuan chuckled.
"Of course not. My mother said that if any girl takes off my mask, I have to marry her."
This wasn't entirely a lie. Under the guise of Wu Tian, anyone who recognized him and saw his face would naturally marry him.
Just like Zhong Ling, she had already been promised.
Mu Wan Qing hadn't expected Gu Han Yuan to use a similar oath to hers to block her, and she was filled with shame and anger.
"Right. I heard that you, Miss Mu, once swore that the first person to see your face after taking off your veil would either marry you or kill you. So, I wonder if the first person to see your body would marry you or kill you?"
Gu Han Yuan teased her with amusement.
This was also something he had planned when he was scheming the water pool incident.
"You!"
Mu Wan Qing hadn't expected to be mocked by Gu Han Yuan with her own words. Filled with shame, she forgot the difference in their strength and shot a sleeve dart.
Gu Han Yuan easily dodged the dart.
"Haha, it seems Miss Mu intends to kill me. If that's the case, you should live well before you kill me. Otherwise, if you die with resentment and unwillingness, you will turn into a vengeful spirit."
He said this and didn't look at Mu Wan Qing's expression. He used his light skills and left her only with his back.
Mu Wan Qing's face was flushed red, and she stomped her foot in anger. She wanted to get on Black Rose and chase after him.
Suddenly, she covered her mouth and laughed.
She thought that Gu Han Yuan didn't want her to be heartbroken and jump off the cliff, so he said this.
She suddenly felt a little understanding of Zhong Ling.
But thinking of Zhong Ling, she felt some inexplicable emotions.
Besides feeling that the timing was right, Gu Han Yuan left for another reason, he thought that Duan Yan Qing should be arriving soon.
If they bumped into each other directly, it would be a bit troublesome, so it was better to leave early.
He also wanted to check the system evaluation he had just received.
Mind wavering, S-grade evaluation, 2600 villain points.
Current series evaluation is SS-grade, 7100 villain points accumulated, temporarily unavailable for claiming.
Mu Wan Qing had indeed started to waver. It was not in vain that he had spent so much effort.
Next, he only needed to wait at Wan Jie Valley.
Indeed, not long after, Mu Wan Qing, whose mind was still complex and dazed, was taken away by Duan Yan Qing.
Since he wasn't in a hurry and had to wait for the other three villains to go to the Southern Duke's Mansion to abduct Duan Yu as well, Gu Han Yuan didn't travel fast.
Unexpectedly, a sound of horses' hooves came from behind.
It was Black Rose, whose master had been taken.
Black Rose came to Gu Han Yuan's side and used her mouth to hold his sleeve, as if she wanted to take him away.
"You want me to go and save your master? Don't worry, just follow me."
Gu Han Yuan chuckled and stroked Black Rose's head to comfort her.
Black Rose seemed to understand Gu Han Yuan's words and obediently followed behind him without making any noise.
Gu Han Yuan sighed again. The animals in this world were too intelligent.
A man and a horse arrived at Wan Jie Valley.
Gu Han Yuan, who had already learned from Zhong Ling how to enter and exit Wan Jie Valley, easily entered the valley.
After instructing the servants guarding the entrance to go and inform someone, a lively figure soon ran out.
It was Zhong Ling, who had stayed at home for a night.
Zhong Ling, who had dressed up nicely at home, became even more radiant. Her face was filled with a surprised smile as she rushed towards Gu Han Yuan.
"Wu Tian brother!"
Even when she was surprised, Zhong Ling remembered not to call him the wrong name.
Obviously, she truly took every word Gu Han Yuan said to heart.
Gu Han Yuan naturally understood Zhong Ling's feelings, and the smile in his eyes grew even brighter.
He caught Zhong Ling as she rushed towards him and spun her around in a circle.
"Why are you running so fast? What if you fall?"
"Wu Tian brother, Ling'er missed you."
Zhong Ling realized for the first time what it meant to feel like a day apart was like three autumns.
Although it was only a night, she had been missing Gu Han Yuan.
Even when facing her parents' questions, she was constantly distracted.
"Ling'er, are your parents around?"
"My parents seem to have something important to do. They went out early this morning. Hey, isn't this Black Rose? Why is she following Wu Tian brother? Where is Mu elder sister?"
Zhong Ling only now noticed that Black Rose was following Gu Han Yuan, but Mu Wan Qing wasn't there.
"Miss Mu seems to have been taken away by someone. Black Rose came to me for help."
Gu Han Yuan explained the situation to Zhong Ling, including what happened last night between Duan Zheng Chun and his lovers. However, he concealed the fact that he had gone to find Mu Wan Qing.
"Wu Tian brother, you said that my father is Duan Zheng Chun, Zhong Wan
