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

She kept track of when Gu Hanyuan would return to the inner courtyard after the banquet.

He wanted to use the excuse that he hadn't practiced properly yesterday to ask Gu Hanyuan for punishment.

Take this opportunity to get closer to them while they accept the punishment.

However, Long Xiaoyun neither intercepted him in the courtyard nor found him in Gu Hanyuan's room.

She subconsciously guessed that Gu Hanyuan had gone to her mother's place.

Long Xiaoyun went to Lin Shiyin's boudoir with a hesitant expression.

Surprisingly, neither Gu Hanyuan nor Lin Shiyin were there.

While confirming that the two were indeed very likely together, Long Xiaoyun was also puzzled as to where they had gone.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me: Lengxiang Xiaozhu (Cold Fragrance Abode).

Sun Xiaohong and Lin Shiyin had a casual relationship.

But on the surface, Lin Xian'er is Lin Shiyin's good younger sister.

And although she disliked Lin Xian'er, Lin Xian'er was indeed very beautiful.

It's normal that Gu Hanyuan would be interested in her.

However, this angered Long Xiaoyun.

It's one thing for Lin Shiyin to steal away his beloved master.

After all, she was once his closest mother.

But what are you, Lin Xian'er?

Long Xiaoyun hadn't decided whether she should confront Lin Shiyin, nor did she know what to do afterward.

Should we ask Lin Shiyin to leave Gu Hanyuan?

Let's set aside whether Lin Shiyin will be sad.

What she was more worried about was whether Gu Hanyuan would be angry.

Long Xiaoyun felt a chill run down her spine whenever she thought of Gu Hanyuan's cold attitude when they first met.

It's hard to imagine that Gu Hanyuan, who is now so close to her, would be angry with her and put on a cold face.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyun's idea was to try her best to win back Gu Hanyuan's attention and make him focus on her.

It would be even better if the relationship could take another step forward.

In reality, Long Xiaoyun was still somewhat confused about what to do.

Lin Shiyin originally wanted to teach Long Xiaoyun about matters concerning young women, but Gu Hanyuan's forceful intrusion disrupted her mood and caused the matter to fall through.

Long Xiaoyun just subconsciously felt that she needed to get closer and closer to Gu Hanyuan.

187 She recalled how she used to coax Gu Hanyuan into teaching her the "Cloud-Dispelling Palm" technique.

She left many cuts on Gu Hanyuan's handsome profile.

Especially that final, fleeting kiss, which was key to awakening her first love.

And the customary punishment process gradually awakened her instincts.

What Long Xiaoyun could think of was to take the initiative to do these things more often.

In short, the relationship between Lin Shiyin and Gu Hanyuan is already a fait accompli.

Long Xiaoyun had no intention of acting irrationally and causing destruction.

However, he could not tolerate Lin Xian'er.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyun went to Lengxiang Xiaozhu with a gloomy face.

The anger in Long Xiaoyun's eyes, which had originally been about to confront him, was replaced by disbelief.

Long Xiaoyun returned to her room in a daze, not knowing when.

The images I saw through the crack in the door kept flashing through my mind.

My mother, who is usually gentle, kind, dignified and proper, was actually being so humble and submissive.

Yet her seemingly content expression suggested that she wasn't averse to it.

Gu Hanyuan's pleasant and comfortable expression proved that Lin Shiyin and Lin Xian'er's actions were correct.

Led astray, Long Xiaoyun believed that was the correct way to please Gu Hanyuan.

As for what Gu Hanyuan did to her before, he probably just treated her like a little girl.

A fire ignited in Long Xiaoyun's heart.

Resentment, jealousy, and anger fueled the fire, making it burn ever brighter.

Chapter 711: Long Xiaoyun, who was tricked into becoming crippled

PS: 709 and 710 have been released. It's really annoying, two chapters for each one.

Gu Hanyuan was not unaware of Long Xiaoyun's spying, and while slightly surprised, he did not expose her.

Or perhaps this was part of his plan all along.

It's just that Long Xiaoyun entered the game a little too early.

Long Xiaoyun didn't see the whole thing; she missed the beginning.

However, it is precisely because of this that it has a greater impact on her.

From her perspective, Lin Shiyin did it voluntarily, not after being encouraged by Lin Xian'er.

Long Xiaoyun believes that Lin Shiyin has completely changed her mind.

This made her suddenly feel guilty towards her father, Long Xiaoyun.

Although the father and daughter had a strained relationship, Long Xiaoyun still felt sad for Long Xiaoyun after witnessing her mother abandon her father.

She once clashed with Sun Xiaohong in an effort to protect the marital relationship and reputation of Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin.

The culprit back then was Li Xunhuan, but now he is the beloved master she personally brought into her home.

This intensified Long Xiaoyun's sense of guilt, yet there was nothing she could do about it.

Unable to stop Gu Hanyuan and Lin Shiyin, and unable to tell Long Xiaoyun the truth.

The only thing that gave her a strange sense of comfort was that perhaps Lin Shiyin didn't love Long Xiaoyun but Li Xunhuan.

The content of Sun Xiaohong's storytelling and some rumors circulating in the martial arts world were not unfounded.

Otherwise, Long Xiaoyun wouldn't have been so resentful of Li Xunhuan back then.

Lin Shiyin has simply changed her affections and fallen for someone else.

Moreover, Lin Shiyin and Long Xiaoyun have been living in separate rooms for many years.

In reality, Long Xiaoyun's losses weren't as great as one might imagine.

As long as the news doesn't get out and damage his reputation, Long Xiaoyun is only somewhat humiliated.

It's often said that girls are outward-looking, and it's even more common for them to side with outsiders.

Long Xiaoyun had already subconsciously tried to convince herself to accept Gu Hanyuan's decision.

Having not slept all night, Long Xiaoyun arrived at the courtyard on time, her face showing exhaustion and haggardness.

This was supposed to be her time to start practicing, but she had no interest in it at all.

Long Xiaoyun sat on the stone bench, lost in thought.

She didn't come to her senses until a familiar large hand touched her head.

Looking at Gu Hanyuan's gentle smile, Long Xiaoyun felt wronged for a moment.

She called out, her voice trembling with tears, "Master..."

The familiar scent and gentle pat on her back made her feel at ease.

But her conflicted feelings left her unsure how to bring it up.

Gu Hanyuan understood Long Xiaoyun's feelings and laid his cards on the table.

"Xiaoyun, did you see that?"

Long Xiaoyun was startled upon hearing this.

Considering Gu Hanyuan's unparalleled martial arts skills, perhaps it was never meant to be a secret from the very beginning.

This made her feel somewhat ashamed, since peeping is immoral.

However, she was unexpectedly relieved.

It's much better to confront her directly than to remain hesitant and indecisive by herself.

Long Xiaoyun looked up from Gu Hanyuan's embrace, gazing into his clear, deep eyes, and said softly:

"Master, do you know that she is my mother?"

"know."
