Seeing this, Lin Xian'er's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said with a confident, charming smile:

"Don't worry, young master. Li Xunhuan has already fallen into an inescapable trap. He's doomed this time. And Long Xiaoyun is also certain to die."

She seemed to have already accepted the reward Gu Hanyuan had promised as hers.

Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this:

"In that case, I'll wait for your good news."

However, he didn't actually think Lin Xian'er could kill Li Xunhuan.

If the protagonist dies so easily, he would be too useless.

What's more, it's "Little Li Flying Dagger".

Lin Xian'er was even more delighted upon hearing this, and said charmingly:

"This servant already knows her mistake. Young master, could you please give this servant another chance to make amends?"

"it is good."

With Gu Hanyuan's permission, Lin Xian'er happily continued the service she had just interrupted.

Gu Hanyuan gently stroked her hair, his eyes fixed on her distorted face.

If you want a horse to run fast, you have to feed it grass.

Chapter 701: Long Xiaoyun's eyes filled with resentment, inner turmoil, and gloom as she looked at Lin Shiyin.

Sure enough, Li Xunhuan soon found himself in trouble.

This day.

Gu Hanyuan was teaching Long Xiaoyun the "Cloud-Dispelling Palm" in the courtyard.

Long Xiaoyun is exceptionally talented and has already mastered the "Cloud-Dispelling Palm" technique; all she lacks is experience.

However, she seemed to have become fascinated by the feeling of being punished by Gu Hanyuan, treating it as a way of getting closer.

Therefore, she always deliberately learns slowly and makes mistakes.

Gu Hanyuan naturally saw through this but kept quiet about it.

They tacitly waited until Long Xiaoyun finished practicing her skills before giving her a proper lesson.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyun had a cautious expression on her face, as if she had made a mistake.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation and a hint of allure.

Clearly, Long Xiaoyun is awakening her innate desire for pleasure due to Gu Hanyuan's unique educational methods.

Sun Xiaohong watched from the side, her face full of confusion.

In her opinion, with Long Xiaoyun's intelligence, learning moves shouldn't be this difficult.

However, she didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, she did not consider Long Xiaoyun as an opponent.

Moreover, she has now taken the lead.

She was looking at Gu Hanyuan's handsome face with a sweet smile.

A slight blush occasionally flashed across Sun Xiaohong's pretty face, clearly indicating that she was also looking forward to spending time alone with her at night.

Unfortunately, Long Xiaoyun's expectations were ultimately dashed.

Lin Shiyin, whose figure was becoming increasingly slender and graceful, came in hand in hand with Lin Xian'er, whose face was full of anxiety and whose expression contained an inexplicable look.

Lin Shiyin said urgently:

"Young Master Gu, my cousin has been arrested on suspicion of being the Plum Blossom Thief!"

Gu Hanyuan feigned surprise and asked:

"Oh? Why is that? Didn't I give him a three-month deadline? Even if someone is dissatisfied, they shouldn't dare to touch him because of me."

Lin Shiyin said with a worried expression:

"I don't know either. It was Sister Xian'er who told me."

Gu Hanyuan pondered for a moment and said:

"Whoever dares to disregard my opinion and arrest Li Xunhuan must either have sufficient confidence or irrefutable evidence. They can't simply be foolish enough to seek death, can they? Xian'er, do you know the specifics?"

Lin Xian'er shook her head and said:

"I don't know much either. I only know that the leaders are Master Xinmei and Master Xinjian from the Northern Shaolin Temple. They are adamant that Li Xunhuan is the real Plum Blossom Thief."

Gu Hanyuan raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice:

"Another bald monk from Shaolin? This might be a bit tricky."

Lin Shiyin hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong with Young Master Gu?"

Gu Hanyuan sighed softly:

"The Shaolin sect is known for its domineering ways. They won't reason with you just because you're in the right; they'll only agree with their own logic. Besides, although I don't know what evidence Li Xunhuan has that those bald monks have, the fact that they're using it as evidence clearly means they have something to back it up. Moreover, I have a bad relationship with Shaolin, so they might not give me any face. If I were to intervene by force, the consequences would be too great. I should avoid it as much as possible unless absolutely necessary."

Although the Northern Shaolin Temple might hesitate to attack him due to concerns about gains and losses, they were the only ones who dared to disregard Gu Hanyuan's feelings and interfere in Li Xunhuan's affairs.

The Northern and Southern Shaolin Temples are of the same lineage, but they were established in the Ming and Song Dynasties respectively to expand their influence.

Both the Northern and Southern Shaolin Temples suffered greatly at Gu Hanyuan's hands, and since he was from the Wudang Sect, they were extremely hostile towards him.

On Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday, the Northern Shaolin Temple was thoroughly humiliated by Gu Hanyuan.

The Southern Shaolin Assembly also saw the tragic death of the terrestrial immortal, Zen Master Wuse.

Although Zen Master Wuse died at the hands of Wutian, many within the Southern Shaolin Temple believed that Gu Hanyuan had injured Zen Master Wuse first, which ultimately led to his death at Wutian's hands.

Moreover, Gu Hanyuan ruined their plan to convert the three grandmasters, Xiao Yuanshan, Murong Bo, and Kumārajīva, so how could they not regard him as a thorn in their side?

If Gu Hanyuan's reputation weren't so high right now, and if Shaolin didn't have Wutian as its number one enemy, they probably would have already started to deal with him.

Don't assume that Shaolin will be afraid just because Gu Hanyuan's apparent strength is equivalent to that of a terrestrial immortal.

After all, no one knows exactly how many immortal beings Shaolin Temple is hiding.

If multiple terrestrial immortals were to besiege and kill them, even Gu Hanyuan would find it troublesome.

Therefore, Gu Hanyuan's strategy for Shaolin was to gradually whittle down the local immortals and then slowly erode their power.

Both sides were well aware of their hostile relationship.

However, they still maintain a peaceful coexistence on the surface and will not easily resort to violence.

Although Lin Shiyin was taken advantage of by Gu Hanyuan because of Li Xunhuan, she was manipulated in various ways.

But she still cared about Li Xunhuan, and her worries only grew stronger.

Seeing this, Gu Hanyuan held her hand and comforted her:

"Madam, there's no need to worry too much. Let's go and see what's going on. As long as the evidence isn't conclusive, Li Xunhuan should be fine."

Lin Shiyin blushed deeply when her hand was pulled in public.

In particular, Long Xiaoyun's bewildered expression left her unsure of how to react.

Lin Xian'er and Sun Xiaohong, on the other hand, didn't react much, as they had already anticipated this.

Upon seeing this, Lin Shiyin had a sudden realization.

Although she was a little slow-witted, she wasn't so stupid as to be completely oblivious.

Seeing that the two women were not surprised at all, and even their gazes remained fixed on Gu Hanyuan, she immediately understood.

For some reason, I felt very uncomfortable and subconsciously struggled slightly against the hand that was being held.

To Lin Shiyin's slight surprise, Gu Hanyuan actually let go just like that.

Looking at Gu Hanyuan's gentle smile, her pretty face flushed slightly, and her heart beat a little faster.

A strange tingling sensation ran through the peach behind her, and she couldn't help but clench her hand even tighter after Gu Hanyuan had held and then let go of her.

Gu Hanyuan chuckled and led the way away.

Lin Shiyin followed instinctively.

Perhaps it was because Gu Hanyuan had disturbed her peace of mind.

She failed to notice the resentment, inner turmoil, and gloom in Long Xiaoyun's eyes as she followed at the back.

After leaving the inner courtyard and arriving at the front hall, they saw a large group of people escorting Li Xunhuan.

The vast majority of them were acquaintances, but there were also quite a few unfamiliar faces.

Especially those shiny bald heads.

Upon seeing Gu Hanyuan, everyone respectfully greeted him:

"Greetings, Young Master Gu!"

Ah Fei, whose expression was slightly complicated, also called out.
