The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 200 First Li Chui
These past few days, Fang Yunhua has seemed to be bluffing and making things up, but that's not actually the case! (Serious face~)

He's researching this secret technique and maximizing its effectiveness! (Extremely serious face!)
Breaking through from zero to one is difficult, but going from two to three, from three to four, and from four to five is much easier.

Therefore, Fang Yunhua actually learned some things through repeated practical experience.

For example, through the self-cultivation method provided by Li Xunhuan, a method for improving mental strength can be derived.

The principle is quite simple: since it can be confirmed that mental strength can be improved through constant suffering, can similar intense stimulation produce the same effect, such as extreme pleasure?
Because of Lin Xian'er's absolute trust in Fang Yunhua, she was able to fully integrate her spiritual power into his aura. With the further advancement of the secret technique, she could achieve an even stronger effect.

Now, after repeated trials with Lin Xian'er and Sun Xiaohong, Fang Yunhua has confirmed that although the effect is not as extreme as Li Xunhuan's self-greening, this steady improvement is more suitable for him.

Incidentally, the pleasure brought by this spiritual communion is also more intense. Since it is also a form of stimulation, the frequency cannot be too fast. At least for now, even if Lin Xian'er and Sun Xiaohong join forces, they are still Fang Yunhua's defeated opponents.

After all, compared to the difference in physical strength, the two women were weaker than Fang Yunhua in terms of mental strength.

"Your grandfather should arrive in Baoding Prefecture today."

Fang Yunhua patted the woman beside him.

But the other person snuggled closer to Fang Yunhua like a puppy, muttering to themselves.

“If my grandpa comes, the first thing he’ll do is go find his idol. Like you said, he’s the number one Li fanboy.”

"Don't you want to go and see your grandfather's first meeting with his idol?"

Sun Xiaohong, whose eyes had been glazed over, suddenly perked up. Given the rumors circulating in the martial arts world about Li Xunhuan, she wanted to see how her grandfather viewed Li Xunhuan's crazy gaming.

Seeing that this woman was finally getting ready to get up, Fang Yunhua patted the woman on the other side.

"There's going to be a show!"

"I'm not going." Lin Xian'er's voice was filled with a lazy tone. "I'm too tired. I can't even lift a finger."

Fang Yunhua was quite understanding of her hard work. After giving her a deep kiss on the forehead, he left the room with Sun Xiaohong, who was already dressed but still a little dazed.

Watching the two figures leave the room, Lin Xian'er smiled a happy smile, then huddled deeper into the covers.

Ah Fei in the yard had already started waving at the plum tree again. Even though he had grown to the point where he would go to the stake to level up every night, he had not given up his cultivation courses. At the same time, he no longer agonized over whether or not he should take responsibility.

Because in the past few days, the three considerate older sisters have used different methods to help him accept this carefree way of getting along, where he can enjoy every moment together.

Furthermore, because he was already somewhat intimidated by women, he felt that this way of getting along was more suitable for him.

After greeting Afei, the three of them headed towards the respawn point where Li Xunhuan was located.

Just like you can usually find a sneaky, happy little dog in a closet, you can almost always spot Li Li by taking a stroll around the taverns in the city.

The other person drinks not only because of the pain of missing someone, but also because he is a rather addicted drinker. Although he is not as addicted to alcohol as Hu Tiehua in the last world, he will have a few drinks, or even a few jars, whenever he has free time.

Of course, he didn't just stay in the tavern as a fixed NPC during this time. After joining the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, he also provided some secret information about the aristocratic families, as well as his insights on the so-called self-green cultivation.

From a responsible perspective, Li Xunhuan wanted to tell the world not to follow his example, because his method of improvement was actually very difficult to replicate, and not everyone could become stronger simply by experiencing self-inflicted pain.

Whether or not a person can truly listen to this is a matter of opinion.

As for his internal energy cultivation, Li Xunhuan did not give up. After Fang Yunhua deduced that his symptoms were caused by his excessive mental strength, he began to pay attention to his condition.

He would set aside three hours each day to focus on improving his internal skills.

Fang Yunhua did not know the name of the internal energy cultivation technique he practiced, as it was a very private matter. However, if he was not mistaken, the quality of this internal energy cultivation technique was probably only inferior to the four great ancient divine techniques.

Because the Li family is a prominent clan, and they were already very familiar with Shen Lang and others in the early days, the fact that Wang Lianhua was willing to pass on his skills to Li Xunhuan shows the close relationship between the two. Therefore, Li Xunhuan's martial arts foundation must have been quite solid since childhood, so it was impossible for him to have learned a common martial arts technique.

One thing is certain: Li Xunhuan is stronger than himself in the original storyline, and even stronger than himself two years later when he fought Shangguan Jin Hong.

At least in terms of mental anguish and torment, Fang Yunhua's presence allowed him to reach a higher level of mental strength. Moreover, in the process of sorting out the improvements brought about by this painful cultivation, he has been gradually figuring out some of the techniques involved.

In the original storyline, Li only remembers the pure pain, and in the next two years he will completely abandon his martial arts skills and become a pure drunkard.

As Fang Yunhua walked down the street in Baoding Prefecture, he noticed that there were far fewer martial arts practitioners coming and going. They had all devoted themselves to the tasks assigned by the Demon Extermination Alliance and were beginning to spread their influence throughout the northern region.

Sun Xiaohong held her hand affectionately, her joy undisguised.

"By the way, my second uncle has also decided to return to the family."

"Is it because Sister Shiyin took Xiaoyun to that little shop a few days ago?"

Sun Xiaohong nodded.

Previously, Lin Shiyin was unaware that the inheritance Wang Lianhua gave to Li Xunhuan had a guardian. After Lin Xian'er mentioned this to her, she immediately took Long Xiaoyun to express her apologies to Sun Tuozi for waiting for more than ten years.

As the successor of "The Mirror of Pitying Flowers", Long Xiaoyun obviously has some ulterior motives. For example, after learning about Sun Tuozi's background, she wants to use this relationship to benefit the entire Xingyun Manor.

However, when he tentatively tried to tell Lin Shiyin about his plan, he was immediately scolded by his mother.

Nowadays, Lin Shiyin is not only very opinionated, but she also has a developmental approach of "I don't care what you think, I care what I think," although this only applies to matters concerning herself.

Therefore, after taking Long Xiaoyun to visit Sun Tuozi, the other party was completely freed from his previous vow.

Today should also be considered its last day of operation.

"Sister Shiyin still feels guilty. She didn't expect that her willfulness would make my second uncle wait for so long."

“Your second uncle is quite patient; he hasn’t said a word in over ten years. He could have easily gone to Lin Shiyin’s door and explained the matter to her.”

"This is probably a common problem among people who keep their promises—being too stubborn. Of course, in your words, there are too many obsessed people in this world who suddenly get stuck on some problem and insist on getting stuck on it." Fang Yunhua smiled.

He discovered that Sun Xiaohong was also deeply influenced by him, and she had quite a set of short poems.

"You and Shion-nee are on good terms now?"

“Mmm!” Sun Xiaohong nodded happily. “I didn’t expect that Sister Shiyin would be so obsessed with your relationship with Sister Xian’er. But after Sister Xian’er explained it to Sister Shiyin, she got used to the three of us being together.”

Well, the important thing is that Lin Xian'er was involved in the lobbying. The CP fans also have their biases. Lin Shiyin is clearly biased towards Lin Xian'er. Therefore, after the main character herself spoke up, as a fan, she could only accept this change.

Incidentally, a little bit of fan abuse is added to increase purity.

"Ah Fei, have you sorted out your relationship issues as well?"

Fang Yunhua hadn't forgotten the figure that had been following behind him.

Afei nodded.

“I visit them when I have free time, and they visit me when they have free time.”

"they."

"Well, they all say I get too easily into a relationship. There are so many bad women in this world, so keeping it simple is the best for both me and them."

Fang Yunhua blinked.

He always felt that Ah Fei's romantic path might have gone astray.

"That thing I told you before..."

"Go to inspect the various branches of Tianji Tower. Afterwards, based on the information provided by headquarters, carry out a major purge if there is concrete evidence, and continue the purge if there is no evidence after the investigation is completed and problems are confirmed."

"So what's your choice? Patrols can be conducted overtly or covertly, and the threats they bring are completely different."

"Let's do it openly!"

"Are you sure? Although those branches and local forces won't dare to kill you directly before they find concrete evidence, they have more options if they do it openly, such as bribery, seduction, or using various other means to corrupt and coerce you."

"This will help me find my own path."

Fang Yunhua was very satisfied with this answer.

To be honest, it's a bit of a waste for Ah Fei to keep following me around all this time. After all, with me making public appearances and Lao Li taking over, Ah Fei's bodyguard duties have become almost unnecessary.

By releasing them and conducting a major internal purge, we can make the best use of them.

Ah Fei has learned a lot from his companions, especially after witnessing Long Xiaoyun and others' schemes and plots against Li Xunhuan, which made him realize the true nature of the martial arts world.

And his potential emotional weaknesses, under the guidance of those three caring older sisters, gradually transformed him into a real man who could stand up for himself as soon as he got his pants up.

Then it was time for him to let his dreams take flight.

Following Fang Yunhua's instructions, the three of them entered the tavern that Li Xunhuan frequented. The other customers had all been cleared out, or rather, they had all consciously avoided him when they recognized him.

Therefore, upon entering the tavern, the first thing you see is Lao Li, and Sun Baifa sitting opposite him, talking animatedly.

"I understand your pretense. I suppose the so-called game isn't your true intention. You're probably using this method to protect your sworn brother. Only by letting the people of the martial world know that he's your target can you prevent him from suffering the negative consequences of rashly convening this demon-slaying conference."

Lao Li looked somewhat agitated!
That was indeed what he thought. Although he acted very convincingly at the time, it even made Fang Yunhua, who knew the truth, suspect that he was taking the opportunity to reveal his true feelings in order to carry out so-called retaliation against Long Xiaoyun's attempt to ambush him!

But in reality, he was truly trying to win a way out for Long Xiaoyun!
But no one believed my good intentions!

Even Fang Yunhua, who initially induced him to do this, firmly claimed that this might be a game set up by his inner personality in order to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts!
My inner personality is yours!
How could someone as dignified as Li Tanhua be so sinister!
And now, finally someone understands him!
To be honest, when Li Xunhuan first learned that this powerful figure, who was originally ranked number one on the Weapon Ranking, was his admirer, he was still somewhat respectful and kept his distance. But now he only felt that the other party was his confidant! Even family!
"Actually, I think that those who misunderstand you are judging others by their own standards, and their level is not high enough."

The fact that you can throw such a knife demonstrates that the great love you possess goes beyond such petty, personal feelings.

Love is about letting go.

Your act of granting Long Xiaoyun's wish, preventing him from dying of lovesickness, only further proves your greatness.

It's a pity he's a villain, otherwise the two of you could have had a beautiful story.

"But now it's widely rumored that you've been infatuated with Lin Shiyin, I don't believe that."

Li Xunhuan: ? ? ?

The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong, but looking at the impassioned Sun Baifa, he couldn't bear to interrupt him.

"Do you really love her? Actually, you don't. Otherwise, why would you give her up to Long Xiaoyun? This shows that you are rejecting this relationship from the bottom of your heart, or rather, this petty love is actually preventing you from embracing a greater and more righteous love!"
Your loyalty to Long Xiaoyun is the key!
Otherwise, you couldn't stand by and watch Long Xiaoyun suffer the pain of longing, but why could you ignore Lin Shiyin's growing increasingly haggard state during those two years, suffering just as much?

This is enough to show that in your heart, 'righteousness' has transcended everything!
This is your true nature! This is the real Li Xunhuan!

The smile that had been on Li Xunhuan's face vanished, and he put on his mask of pain again. Because of Sun Baifa's words, he couldn't help but ponder: Did he really not love Lin Shiyin?

He could still recall the painful expression on Lin Shiyin's face and her increasingly frail and weak body when he deliberately distanced himself from her during those two years. Despite this, he still persisted in silently acting for two years.

Long Xiaoyun, on the other hand, had only been sick for a short time and hadn't suffered for long before making his decision.

Did 'righteousness' surpass 'emotion' in his heart?
Or.
"I see, so you like Long Xiaoyun."

A familiar voice rang in his ears. Li Xunhuan looked up and saw Sun Xiaohong and A Fei looking disgusted, while Fang Yunhua had a smile on his face and his eyes were full of respect!
