"Li Tanhua, how did you get involved with the Northern Shaolin Temple again? Do you really have a constitution that attracts trouble?"

Li Xunhuan said with a wry smile:

"Young Master Gu is too kind. I am also a bit confused."

In reality, most people at this point only have a superficial understanding.

All that is known is that Xinmei and her group found evidence that Li Xunhuan was the Plum Blossom Bandit and captured him.

Xinmei said at the right moment:

"Let me explain, otherwise Benefactor Li might not be satisfied."

Gu Hanyuan smiled and said leisurely:

"Master, please speak."

Xinmei clasped her hands together, uttered a Buddhist chant, and slowly said:

"A few days ago, Zhang Xiaoyi, a lay disciple of my junior brother Xinhu, sent a message to the temple seeking help regarding the Plum Blossom Thief case. Coincidentally, my junior brother Xinjian and I were on a errand down the mountain and were not far from here, so we came together. Yesterday, Zhang Xiaoyi sent us another message, saying that he had found clues about the Plum Blossom Thief and asked us to come and meet him as soon as possible. However, because it was already late at the time, we did not go in time. When we finally found him today, following the coded message left by Zhang Xiaoyi, together with benefactor Baixiaosheng, he had already been dead for some time."

Gu Hanyuan frowned slightly and asked:

"Where is Zhang Xiaoyi's body?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd dispersed somewhat, revealing Zhang Xiaoyi's corpse inside.

A very familiar throwing knife was stuck in his throat.

Gu Hanyuan asked Li Xunhuan with a half-smile:

"Li Tanhua, why did your throwing knife kill Zhang Xiaoyi? Could it be that you harbored some kind of grudge?"

Chapter 703: Ruyi: Please, Young Master Gu, uphold justice for me.

P.S.: Time to rest after this intense work.

Li Xunhuan smiled wryly:

"How could I possibly have a grudge against Old Master Zhang? I didn't kill him."

That's exactly what happened.

Because of Gu Hanyuan's intervention.

Zhang Xiaoyi did not have any conflicts with Li Xunhuan and A Fei as in the original story, so naturally there was no hatred between them.

Gu Hanyuan asked noncommittally:

"Then, Li Tanhua, could you tell me about your throwing knives?"

Li Xunhuan frowned and said:

"I'm also puzzled by this; my holster is fully stocked with throwing knives."

At the opportune moment, A-Fei presented the knife sheath he had confiscated from Li Xunhuan, which indeed contained a complete number of throwing knives.

Xin Jian suddenly shouted:

"Li Xunhuan, things have come to this, and you still dare to try to deny it? Since that's the case, this old monk will let you die knowing why. Look at this!"

As he spoke, he threw the things he was carrying on the ground.

With a jingling sound, another knife sheath appeared, exactly the same as the one in A-Fei's hand.

And one of the throwing knives inside was missing.

Li Xunhuan asked in astonishment:

Where did this come from?

In reality, Li Xunhuan was completely confused.

Xinmei and Xinjian suddenly accused him of being the Plum Blossom Thief and started fighting.

Forced into a corner, Li Xunhuan had no choice but to take out his flying knife to intimidate others and try to find out the truth.

However, when Long Xiaoyun saw Li Xunhuan take out a throwing knife, he exclaimed and stepped forward to stop him, putting his arm around Li Xunhuan's shoulder and repeatedly urging him to calm down.

Li Xunhuan was unable to move for a moment because Long Xiaoyun had his arm around his shoulder. As a result, Bai Xiaosheng took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and capture him.

Li Xunhuan was unable to defend himself along the way, so he had no choice but to wait until he returned to Xingyun Manor and Gu Hanyuan was present before investigating the truth.

However, he never expected to find a scabbard that was exactly the same as his own, which became evidence that he had killed Zhang Xiaoyi.

Xin Jian sneered:

"Of course, it was found at the crime scene where Zhang Xiaoyi died."

Gu Hanyuan frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Even so, it doesn't prove that Li Xunhuan was the Plum Blossom Thief and killed Zhang Xiaoyi, does it? After all, there's a possibility that the knife case and throwing knives could be counterfeited."

Xinmei sighed deeply:

“Young Master Gu is right. However, there is even more irrefutable evidence.”

Gu Hanyuan asked curiously:

"What kind of irrefutable evidence?"

Xinmei gestured to the monk behind her.

Several monks carried in several large iron boxes.

Once opened, it was filled with dazzling treasures, including gold and silver jewels, and many people's eyes lit up with greed upon seeing it.

However, the contents of one of the iron boxes caused everyone to look strange, and some of the young monks even blushed.

Inside were various styles of women's undergarments.

Gu Hanyuan asked with a strange expression:

"What's going on?"

This time it was Bai Xiaosheng who explained, and he first respectfully bowed to Gu Hanyuan.

Then he boldly proclaimed:

"These were all found at the place where Old Master Zhang died, a very hidden secret room. These treasures were stolen by the Plum Blossom Thief, and these undergarments were probably the Plum Blossom Thief's trophies. The Plum Blossom Thief's crimes are countless, and these are evidence of the women he harmed."

Gu Hanyuan looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring Bai Xiaosheng with a slightly amused expression.

Others do not know who in the Plum Blossom Thief gang is the one who harms women.

Did he know that the man was none other than the seemingly respectable but actually shrewd and knowledgeable man standing before him?

This practice of collecting underwear was probably a hobby of his.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable; lecherous thieves would not have a good end with him.

Tian Boguang was killed by him, and Yun Zhonghe was killed by Wu Xingyun.

Only the Blood Blade Ancestor was sensible and perceptive enough to let him go.

There's another interesting story about the Blood Saber Ancestor in "The Earth Net".

It is said that he wanted to pick flowers, but unexpectedly encountered a woman who said she was Gu Hanyuan's woman.

Although he suspected that Gu Hanyuan didn't find the woman attractive, he still didn't dare to make a move and eventually had to slink away.

When this story spread throughout the martial arts world, it sparked an interesting phenomenon.

Women who encounter flower thieves will all claim to be Gu Hanyuan's women.

They actually fooled quite a few people.

Blood Blade Ancestor was even more furious.

Those pretty young girls are very likely to be Gu Hanyuan's women.

Helpless, the Blood Blade Ancestor then changed his affections to married women.

As a result, those married women also claimed to be Gu Hanyuan's women, acting as if they didn't care about their husbands at all.

As for those who are ugly, Blood Blade Ancestor has no interest in them, but Gu Hanyuan might actually be interested in those who are good-looking.

So even married women aren't safe.

Isn't it widely rumored in the martial arts world that Ning Zhongze and Gu Hanyuan are related?

Therefore, Gu Hanyuan inexplicably gained many women who claimed to be his women.

This is also the main reason why Gu Hanyuan's reputation for being a womanizer spread throughout the world.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye wouldn't believe it, since it's just too outrageous.

However, for a womanizer like Blood Saber Ancestor who fears Gu Hanyuan, he really wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

What if I happen to come across a genuine product?

Helpless, the Blood Blade Ancestor could only frequent brothels to alleviate his melancholy.

Fortunately, Blood Blade Ancestor, who had allied himself with the Mongol Yuan dynasty, was not short of money.

Otherwise, he might really suffocate.
