Chapter 756: A Perfect Match, I'm Shipping Them!
Qingluo had been cooking for him for a month, and Gu Heng didn't want to repay kindness with enmity.
"It's okay, I'll talk to her."
Ning Hanyan patted Gu Heng's hand, signaling him to relax and that with her there, there wouldn't be any trouble.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Although Gu Heng did not treat her as a maid, Ning Hanyan seemed to have unconsciously taken on the duties of a maid.
Of course, having her communicate with Hua Yeli would be much more effective than him doing it himself.
After all, Ning Hanyan's mother or grandmother were the ones Hua Yeli was talking about for whom she "couldn't repay the debt of gratitude," and his debt was at most a minor one, completely incomparable. "I'm full now, I'm going to continue reading. Do you want to keep going?"
Gu Heng stretched.
"No, I'm going to see Sect Leader Hua."
"Alright, be careful on the road, and if you encounter any other elders of the Flower Extreme Sect, remember to tell them that our relationship is perfectly normal..."
Gu Heng gave special instructions.
When he first arrived at the Flower Extreme Sect, he still had the mind to leave the Scripture Pavilion and go outside to see the sea of flowers and relax. However, every female elder who passed by would ask him if he had an improper relationship with Ning Hanyan, which had already made him very upset.
It's not that their attitude was bad; in fact, they were all very nice. But it was this cautious and distant questioning that made him just a fingertip away from breaking down.
I'm not some fragile, overly sensitive guy, so why am I so afraid he'll get angry if I ask him questions? Men aren't that delicate, okay?
I'm not afraid of hard tactics, I'm afraid of soft ones. Anyway, Gu Heng has never left the Sutra Pavilion since then, to avoid a second Yu Yu incident.
He stayed in this small corner of the land, and when female disciples came, they all addressed him as elder, never mentioning the rumors and gossip outside. As for the other elders, none of them had ever been to the Scripture Pavilion, which made things easy for them.
"I understand."
Ning Hanyan responded to him calmly.
Then go.
"Phew... This little girl doesn't seem to care at all."
Gu Heng watched Ning Hanyan's departing figure, feeling somewhat uneasy.
If she showed even the slightest dislike for the rumors, he would feel much more at ease. But Ning Hanyan's indifference might actually stir up trouble. "Sigh, never mind, I'd better get back to the book..."
Gu Heng shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions, and went back to the Sutra Repository to look for ancient books.
The Sutra Repository contains many martial arts techniques. After all, the Flower Extreme Sect is essentially an orphanage. Apart from the first generation of disciples personally taught by Hua Yeli, the later generations have learned almost everything.
Swords, axes, halberds, musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all readily available here. It is said that the Scripture Pavilion of the Flower Extreme Sect is the largest and most diverse among all the forces in the entire Demon Realm.
Even so, there is still a section in the library where not martial arts techniques are placed, but ancient books that record the past history of the Demon Realm.
Although there is only one collection of Demon Realm: Scorching Sun Demon Realm.
The Demon Realm has thirty major domains, and almost every domain has such ancient historical records.
Even so, Gu Heng found that he could read three to four books a day, but after a month, he had only read less than one-tenth of them.
Extremely inefficient!
But there's no other way; trying to find clues in the vast river of history inevitably comes at the cost of time.
His biggest worry was that if he couldn't find it here, he would have to look elsewhere, or even go to the most dangerous building!
That's basically impossible.
"Sigh, hurry up and give me some results..."
Gu Heng entered the library and began picking up the next ancient book in the marked order.
……
The main hall, located amidst a sea of flowers, is Hua Yeli's exclusive residence.
She was a flower fairy reincarnated; if there was anything she could like at first glance, it would be all kinds of flowers.
This sea of flowers is the most precious treasure of the Flower Extreme Sect. Any one of them can be used as a medicinal ingredient to refine precious pills, but Hua Yeli never picks them.
"Holding smoke."
Hua Yeli greeted Ning Hanyan when she saw her arrive.
"Mr. Gu said that the female elders in the sect seem to think that I have an inappropriate relationship with him."
Ning Hanyan didn't play the riddle-maker and directly stated her purpose.
"Oh dear, Mr. Gu is, after all, the only man in the Flower Extreme Sect. They've been here for a while and they don't know how to speak in riddles. If they make you unhappy, Hanyan, then just punish them by cutting their salary in half next month."
After hearing Ning Hanyan's words, Hua Yeli looked a little embarrassed, but quickly relaxed.
She certainly heard those rumors and gossip.
People who are good-looking and capable are more likely to be the target of rumors.
"Mr. Gu and I don't have that kind of relationship." "Oh? Is that so? I think you and Mr. Gu are a good match."
Hua Yeli revealed a meaningful smile.
"...Why haven't I seen you so interested in this kind of romantic relationship before?"
"Uh……"
These words left Hua Yeli speechless. Ning Hanyan's expression looked very serious, but Hua Yeli understood. She never cared about these kinds of rumors. It wasn't the first time such rumors had spread. There had been rumors that had been widely circulated for a long time before.
It's likely that Mr. Gu doesn't like being bothered by such rumors, which is why Ning Hanyan seems so serious about it.
"By the way, Hanyan, you didn't come to see me today for this matter, did you?"
Hua Yeli changed the subject.
"It's that female disciple named Qingluo."
