118: Chapter 114 Gu Mingshuang 118: Chapter 114 Gu Mingshuang “””However, speaking of the stunningly beautiful young girl, she had skin as cold as ice and as smooth as jade; her beauty was ethereal and untouched by the mundanities of the world, like a secluded orchid in a valley.
Dressed in a light purple long dress, her presence was extraordinary.
Ye Fan watched the stunning girl in the light purple attire leading her group out and thought, “What a beautiful babe, full of celestial grace, and also a skilled ancient martial artist!”
Since someone from Gulan Martial Arts Hall had called for a halt, Ye Fan decisively dropped Zhou Hongzhi, turned around, and walked over to Bobo, asking, “Who is that girl in the purple dress?”
“I heard she’s the Deputy Master of Gulan Martial Arts Hall, Gu Mingshuang.
I’ve only seen her a couple of times,” Bobo replied quickly, then giggled, “Brother Ye, you drove that guy away, my master will definitely thank you.”
Ye Fan shrugged, but was not very pleased.
Because of Bobo’s comment, it had turned into him competing with a spoiled brat over jealousy; even though he was the victor, it still made him feel rather embarrassed.
As Gu Mingshuang approached with her group, Ye Fan’s gaze returned to her flawless, stunningly beautiful face; her delicate brows, phoenix eyes, a nose fine as a jade flute, her perfect oval face barely the size of a palm.
Up close, she was even more breathtaking.
Gu Mingshuang, in a light purple long dress, approached Ye Fan like a fairy descending to the earth, slightly nodded toward him, and said, “I am the Deputy Master of Gulan Martial Arts Hall.
Thank you, sir, for your chivalrous action.”
“Hehe, you’re welcome.
I happen to know Lin Yuehua.
It was only right to lend a hand when she was in trouble.
It was really presumptuous of me to impersonate her boyfriend, though,” Ye Fan said with a smile.
Gu Mingshuang slightly tilted her head and turned to speak to a woman following behind her, “Sister You, please send that man away, his actions have greatly disrupted our martial arts hall.”
“Yes, Miss,” the woman responded, then stepped forward and went to deal with Zhou Hongzhi.
After instructing her subordinate, Gu Mingshuang turned her lovely face back to Ye Fan and said, “Sir, please come and sit inside our hall.”
With a slight nod, Ye Fan, along with Bobo, followed Gu Mingshuang and others back into the martial arts hall.
Entering the hall, they ascended to an elegantly ancient reception room on the fifth floor.
Separated by an intricately carved redwood tea table, Ye Fan and Gu Mingshuang sat opposite each other.
At that moment, a maid had already brought over some fragrant, refreshing tea.
Cup in hand, Gu Mingshuang’s voice, clear and melodious, invited Ye Fan, “Please.”
Ye Fan also raised his teacup, echoed the invitation with a “Please,” and then drank his tea.
After sharing a cup, Gu Mingshuang sat gracefully, her expression serene and her eyes reserved, silent.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Ye Fan also stayed silent, sitting with ease and confidence.
Soon, footsteps came from outside.
Ye Fan turned towards the door, and saw Lin Yuehua in white appear at the entrance, followed by Bobo.
Lin Yuehua tapped lightly on the open wooden door, and without turning her head, Gu Mingshuang said softly, “Please come in.”
Lin Yuehua stepped inside and softly called out, “Junior sister.”
Gu Mingshuang turned her head and then stood up, saying to Lin Yuehua, “Senior sister, I leave him to you.”
Then to Ye Fan, she said, “Enjoy your conversation.
I must take my leave.”
With that, she gracefully exited the reception room.
Ye Fan stood up, facing Lin Yuehua.
Lin Yuehua looked about the same as when they first met, still portraying the image of an ancient beauty, serene and graceful, stunningly beautiful.
However, she didn’t meet Ye Fan’s gaze for more than half a second before shifting her eyes away, a faint annoyance crossing her beautiful face.”””
“Ha, Miss Lin, we meet again,” Ye Fan said with a smile.
Lin Yuehua snorted slightly, her tone a bit stiff as she said, “Please sit down.”
After Ye Fan, Lin Yuehua, and Bobo sat down, Ye Fan began, “Miss Lin, what happened last time was indeed an unintentional mistake on my part, and it offended you.
I ask for your forgiveness and am willing to make amends.”
“Hmph!” Lin Yuehua’s pretty face immediately filled with anger as she let out a harsh snort.
She coldly said, “Ye Fan, I thank you for helping me out just now.
But, how could you rashly claim to be my boyfriend and ruin my reputation?
What were you thinking?!”
Pretending to be a boyfriend ruins the reputation?
Nowadays, when so many couples are holding hands, kissing, staying together overnight, or even moving in before possibly breaking up, doesn’t that tarnish their reputation even more?
it was just a temporary solution,” Ye Fan replied, startled, quickly adapting his response, “If I have offended, I ask for your understanding.”
Even though pretending to be Lin Yuehua’s boyfriend was Bobo’s doing, as a man, he took it upon himself to accept responsibility, not wanting to shift the blame to Bobo.
Bobo quickly called out, “Master, I…”
Lin Yuehua waved her hand to cut Bobo off, quickly turned to him, and said sharply, “You don’t speak!” Then she turned back to Ye Fan and continued to glare at him coldly, “It was just a fly bothering me, yet you used my reputation as your temporary solution.
Is my reputation so cheap that it can be trampled upon at will?”
Ye Fan’s eyes widened.
Was the matter really this serious?
Did it need to be escalated to this extent?
“I…” He felt he couldn’t explain himself in any way.
Lin Yuehua continued in a cold voice, “You might have profound skills, but you lack character and virtue, possessing martial skills without morality.
I don’t want to see you anymore.
Leave, and don’t come back to Gulan Martial Arts Hall!”
“Master…” Bobo called out anxiously.
Lin Yuehua immediately gave Bobo a stern look to silence him.
Ye Fan hadn’t expected Lin Yuehua to say something like that.
He stood up abruptly with angry laughter and said coldly, “Then let’s not meet again!”
With that, he turned around and walked out of the reception room.
Lin Yuehua said to Bobo from behind, “Bobo, see the guest out.”
As they left the Gulan Martial Arts Hall, Bobo walked carefully beside Ye Fan, looking guilty.
“Brother Ye, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect it to turn out ,” she apologized in a low voice.
Ye Fan stopped walking, smiled faintly, and shook his head, “You did nothing wrong, no need to apologize to me.
Lin Yuehua is making a mountain out of a molehill.”
“I’ll try to explain it to my master tomorrow,” Bobo said.
“No need,” Ye Fan shook his head, “I don’t plan on going to Gulan Martial Arts Hall anymore, so whether Lin Yuehua forgives me or not really doesn’t matter.”
Bobo stepped closer to Ye Fan, clasped his arm gently, and pleaded softly, “Brother Ye, please don’t be angry, okay?
I’ll take you to a place that’s really fun to visit, okay?”
Ye Fan asked with some curiosity, “A fun place, what place is that?”
“Hehe, you’ll see when we get there; I guarantee you’ll have fun,” Bobo laughed confidently.
Since it was still early, why not go out and have some fun.
So, Ye Fan nodded, “Alright.
But if it’s not fun, watch out, I might spank you.”
“Giggle, okay,” Bobo giggled.
