In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

Both the Northern and Southern Shaolin Temples outwardly appeared to be subservient to the imperial court.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and immediately understood.

It turned out that the man was Mr. Iron Flute, whose eyes were bloodshot.

Everyone's attention turned to the pitiful Ruyi.

Such a lovely concubine has been ruined; no normal man could tolerate that.

Of course, most people scoffed at it.

She's just a woman; how can she compare to one's life and fortune?

The lessons learned from You Longsheng, Qiu Du, and Yi Ku are still fresh in our minds.

There are actually people who dare to challenge Gu Hanyuan's authority.

Although Mr. Iron Flute was furious, he was not reckless.

In any case, it is now a settled matter that Li Xunhuan is the Plum Blossom Thief.

If Gu Hanyuan were to kill Li Xunhuan for Li Xunhuan's sake, he would surely be criticized.

Given Gu Hanyuan's reputation and status, he would never be so unwise.

Therefore, Mr. Iron Flute believed that his life was safe.

And to avoid being stopped by Gu Hanyuan, he immediately rushed towards Li Xunhuan, thrusting his steel flute at Li Xunhuan's back.

With Mr. Iron Flute's skill, if this full-force strike had landed, Li Xunhuan would have been dead without a doubt.

"presumptuous.?

With a cold snort, a palm that seemed to be formed from clouds suddenly fell, knocking Mr. Iron Flute, who was rushing towards Li Xunhuan, to the ground.

Gu Hanyuan said coldly:

"Since I, Gu, have said that I will hand Li Xunhuan over to the imperial court for punishment, I will not let you do whatever you want."

With a muffled groan, Mr. Iron Flute stood up somewhat awkwardly.

Gu Hanyuan did not kill him, but the palm strike still seriously injured him.

Just at this time.

A frail figure stood in front of him.

Ruyi's delicate body trembled, yet she stood firmly in front of Mr. Tiedi.

She said pitifully:

"Please forgive me, Young Master Gu. The master only wanted to avenge me. If you want to kill me, then kill me."

"As one wishes."

Mr. Iron Flute was deeply moved upon seeing this.

Ruyi said with great sorrow:

"Ruyi has been harmed by the Plum Blossom Thief and is not worthy to serve you, sir. Ruyi's death is not a pity. Please do not offend Young Master Gu for Ruyi's sake."

As she spoke, tears began to fall.

She looked pitiful and pathetic, like a weak and adrift woman.

Mr. Iron Flute said urgently:

"Ruyi, what are you saying! How could I possibly look down on you? Blame that shameless Li Xunhuan!"

As she spoke, she glared hatefully at Li Xunhuan.

Clearly, being stopped by Gu Hanyuan did not change his desire to kill Li Xunhuan.

A playful smile appeared on Gu Hanyuan's lips, which quickly disappeared.

Ruyi's sudden appearance and the way she stole the show surprised him, but he was mostly impressed.

Gu Hanyuan sighed softly in agreement:

“Miss Ruyi has deep feelings for Mr. Tiedi, how could I possibly make things difficult for her?”

He then turned to Mr. Iron Flute and said coldly:

"I will let this go for the sake of Miss Ruyi. I hope you will behave yourself."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Tie Di merely cupped his hands in greeting, but his face was full of dissatisfaction.

He was in the right, so he wasn't afraid of Gu Hanyuan attacking him.

In fact, if Mr. Tie Di hadn't threatened to kill Li Xunhuan in front of Gu Hanyuan, thus challenging Gu Hanyuan's authority, Gu Hanyuan might not have even laid a hand on him.

With Ruyi's performance, everyone will understand Mr. Iron Flute even more.

Unless Gu Hanyuan ruins his reputation, Mr. Iron Flute is safe.

Acting domineeringly is one thing, but bullying the weak is another.

From an angle unseen by others, Ruyi couldn't help but curl a smug smile at the corner of her mouth, but she quickly concealed it.

This was a scene that Ruyi added to her own performance on the spot.

She glanced at Lin Xian'er discreetly.

Reputation is extremely important to women, and it greatly enhances their personal charm.

Lin Xian'er once gained the adoration of martial arts figures by "jumping off a cliff to save her father".

Now that she has "saved her husband with her own body," she can not only eliminate the negative impact of being harmed by the plum blossom thief, but she will also be sought after and her value will increase.

If it weren't for the opportunity to reverse her reputation, even if Ruyi coveted Gu Hanyuan, she might not have been willing to put on this act.

After all, with the stigma of being humiliated by the Plum Blossom Thief on her head, not only would others look at her with strange eyes, but Gu Hanyuan would also not accept her for the sake of his own reputation.

But the situation is different now.

Even if Gu Hanyuan accepts her, people will see it as pity for her plight and praise her loyalty to Mr. Tiedi.

Not only will his reputation remain undamaged, but he will also receive praise, with people believing that Gu Hanyuan is a true connoisseur of beauty.

Ruyi has great ambitions; how could she be content with just one night of pleasure with Gu Hanyuan?

Of course, all of this will have to wait until the dust settles and Mr. Iron Flute dies.

Ruyi looked at Mr. Tiedi with gentle eyes.

In reality, she regarded him as a dying man.

Chapter 707: Long Xiaoyun: Mother, I was the one who did it first...

A deep glint flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

Although Ruyi is arrogant, her acting skills are indeed quite good.

Moreover, impromptu additions are more effective.

Her gentle, delicate yet deeply affectionate appearance softened the hearts of many men present.

They all felt that if they had such a concubine, they would definitely be willing to avenge her like Mr. Tiedi did.

Mr. Iron Flute was deeply moved.

This further solidified his resolve to kill Li Xunhuan.

However, it certainly can't be now, otherwise wouldn't that be letting Ruyi down?

Lin Xian'er's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

Ruyi made her feel threatened.

However, he remained confident that as long as he could complete the task assigned by Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan will definitely reward her well and value her even more.

Moreover, she wasn't as clueless about pleasing men as Ruyi thought.

Lin Xian'er believed that with her looks and abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for her to bewitch Gu Hanyuan.

Let's leave aside the little thoughts that Lin Xian'er and Ruyi had in their hearts.

After a moment's thought, Gu Hanyuan said:

"We'll discuss Li Xunhuan's fate after the imperial court sends someone. As for Long Xiaoyun, you two are no longer fit to guard Li Xunhuan."

Long Xiaoyun was slightly unwilling, but still respectfully agreed.

Everyone assumed that Long Xiaoyun cared about his brotherhood with Li Xunhuan, but they didn't know that he was unwilling to accept that he hadn't been able to kill Li Xunhuan.

Lin Xian'er naturally wouldn't tell Long Xiaoyun the whole plan.

183 thought that Li Xunhuan was not executed because of Gu Hanyuan's obstruction.

In reality, this is only the first half of the overall plan.

Gu Hanyuan instructed A Fei:

"Ah Fei, the task of guarding Li Xunhuan is entrusted to you. Don't let him escape, and don't let anyone harm him."
