Lin Wanrong was overwhelmed with emotion after hearing this and didn't know what to say.

"To be honest, I find it really strange now. The notorious womanizer Hua Yuanlie not only let you go, but he also didn't touch any of the maids in our city lord's mansion. Although he spoke rudely to me and teased me repeatedly along the way, he didn't actually do anything improper to me. On the contrary, he saved me twice."

"This Hua Yuanlie is truly unfathomable."

Gu Xiaojun said with a sigh.

Lin Wanrong hesitated for a moment before asking, "Miss Gu, what does Hua Yuanlie, the man you met, look like?"

Gu Xiaojun described it to Lin Wanrong, who shook her head repeatedly.

"No, the womanizer Hua Yuanlie who kidnapped me in the reeds looks completely different from what you described."

After saying that, Lin Wanrong took out paper and pen and quickly drew a portrait.

Although Lin Wanrong only sketched Hua Yuanlie's appearance with a few strokes and did not draw many details, she completely depicted Hua Yuanlie's lewd, vulgar, greedy, and lustful nature.

Gu Xiaojun only glanced at it before realizing that the person in Lin Wanrong's painting was completely different from the Hua Yuanlie she had seen.

"Is this person Hua Yuanlie? The womanizer who kidnapped you?" Gu Xiaojun asked.

“Yes.” Lin Wanrong nodded.

“This is really strange. The Hua Yuanlie who went to our city lord’s mansion and entered the secret realm with us is completely different from the one you drew. They are not the same person at all.” Gu Xiaojun shook her head repeatedly.

Lin Wanrong hesitated for a moment before saying, "I heard that the notorious flower thief Hua Yuanlie always appears in a different guise each time he shows himself..."

“No, no, no, a person can change their appearance, but their temperament and demeanor are not so easily changed. However, the person you drew is completely different from the Hua Yuanlie I have seen. They are clearly two different people with no resemblance whatsoever,” Gu Xiaojun said firmly.

It was at this moment that Gu Xiaojun and Lin Wanrong simultaneously came up with a bold idea.

"Could it be...could it be that the person who went to our city lord's mansion and entered the secret realm with us wasn't the real flower thief Hua Yuanlie, but someone impersonating him!" Gu Xiaojun exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Wanrong also realized this and said, "No wonder the notorious flower thief Hua Yuanlie didn't do anything wrong to me even though he kidnapped me. It turns out someone saved me!"

"So where did the real flower thief go?" Gu Xiaojun asked.

Just then, Chen Changqing from Baifeng Tower said from outside the door, "Master Lin, that flower thief Hua Yuanlie has arrived. He says that you took his natal spirit artifact, the Red Powder Spirit Fan, as well as his storage ring, and he demands that you return them to him."

Lin Wanrong and Gu Xiaojun looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Let's go down and take a look!"

After saying that, Gu Xiaojun grabbed Lin Wanrong's hand and pulled her downstairs.

As soon as they arrived at the reception room on the first floor, Gu Xiaojun and Lin Wanrong saw a man who looked extremely disheveled.

This person is none other than the real notorious womanizer, Hua Yuanlie!

His appearance is exactly the same as the person in the portrait that Lin Wanrong just hand-drew!

Upon seeing Lin Wanrong, Hua Yuanlie immediately rushed over, and Chen Changqing immediately stood in front of Lin Wanrong to protect her.

However, Hua Yuanlie did not attack Lin Wanrong. Instead, he knelt down in front of Lin Wanrong with a thud.

"Ms. Lin, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I will never dare to lay a hand on you again..."

"Please give me back my natal magical artifact, and my storage ring too, that's my life savings..."

Hua Yuanlie cried with snot and tears streaming down his face, looking as pathetic as a beggar!

Lin Wanrong frowned and asked, "What exactly happened? Hua Yuanlie, what happened after you kidnapped me that night?"

Hua Yuanlie cried and said, "Master Lin, after I took you away that night, I was just about to kiss you when a senior suddenly appeared."

"That senior was at least a Transcendent Realm expert. He injured me as soon as he appeared and even used a Soul Searching Technique on me. I was just a mere Divine Travel Realm martial artist, so of course I couldn't withstand the Soul Searching Technique. I closed my eyes and fainted..."

"When I woke up, I found that I had nothing left. My natal magical artifact and my storage ring had all vanished..."

"Moreover, because of the damage caused by the Soul Searching Technique, my current strength is about the same as that of a Qi Movement Realm martial artist. I... I'm really suffering!"

Hua Yuanlie burst into tears, while Lin Wanrong and Gu Xiaojun finally realized the truth.

The two of them finally understood what was going on.

The person in front of you is the real notorious womanizer, Hua Yuanlie.

He attacked the Bai Feng Lou's boat in the reeds, captured Lin Wanrong, the top courtesan of Bai Feng Lou, and intended to assault her.

Just as he was about to make his move, a mysterious martial artist suddenly appeared, not only stopping him but also using a soul-searching technique on him, while taking away his natal spiritual weapon and storage ring.

Afterwards, the mysterious martial artist impersonated the notorious womanizer Hua Yuanlie and entered Guhao City. Together with Guhao City Lord Gu Youyu and Gu Xiaojun, they entered the Guhao Secret Realm.

"So that's how it is! The flower thief I met, Hua Yuanlie, wasn't the real person; someone was impersonating him!" Gu Xiaojun exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Wanrong also let out a long sigh of relief.

Chen Changqing asked, "Master Lin, what should we do with this person?"

"Kick him out. He's just a womanizer, and his strength has been greatly diminished. He's no longer a threat," Lin Wanrong said mercilessly.

Chen Changqing immediately grabbed Hua Yuanlie and strode outside with him in his arms.

Hua Yuanlie burst into tears, crying so hard it was heartbreaking, attracting the attention of many people.

"Sister Wanrong, I have to go back quickly and tell my father this news!"

After saying that, Gu Xiaojun took flight and flew towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The study in the city lord's mansion.

Gu Youyu's face showed a look of surprise: "Xiaojun, is what you said true?"

“It’s absolutely true, not a single word is false! Moreover, the real Hua Yuanlie is already severely injured, and his strength is only equivalent to a Qi Movement Realm martial artist. He’s still howling like a ghost outside the Hundred Phoenix Tower. Father, if you don’t believe me, you can send someone over to check!” Gu Xiaojun said.

"I never expected it to be like this. But why did that mysterious martial arts master impersonate Hua Yuanlie? Why did he enter the Gu Hao Secret Realm with us? Did he really die at the hands of that tenth-grade perfected demon beast illusion?"

Gu Youyu muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.

“But at least he’s not our enemy, is he?” Gu Xiaojun said with a smile.

"That's true."

Gu Youyu nodded.

If that mysterious expert impersonating Hua Yuanlie were their enemy, they would have already made their move in the Gu Hao Secret Realm.

Then Gu Youyu took a deep breath and said to Gu Xiaojun, "No matter what, that person is dead or gone, and it has nothing to do with us. Xiaojun, if you see him again in the future, you must be careful."
